The following dispatches have been received at the East India House : THE Govni"4"--GE'NERAL OF IN - DLI IN COUNCIL TO THE SECRET CO'MMITFE OF THE EAST INDIA com ?AN Y ' Fort William, June 2, 1852. Honourable Sirs,—We have much satisfaction in forward log for your information the accompanying copy of dis patches from Lieutenant. G enera l Godwin, C.D., and Commo aca Lambert , announcin g th e gratifying intelligence of the capture of the city of Bassein by the combined military and n aval forces. We have, &c. , DaLuousir... F. CURRIE. J. Low's. LIECTENANT-c-wv 11. GODWIN, C.S., COMMANDING THE ?DICES LY AVA, AItRACAN, AND TENASSERLM PROVEiCES, TO C. ALLEN, Esq., SECRETARY TO THE GOVEENHENT OF INDIA. Rveannago(r-Gn, Head-quarters , May 24, 1852 . G e ral having expressed some anxiety about the south o par rofArracan, as being in the neigh bourhood of Bassein , I resolved, as soon as I could conveni entlyto take a detachment, and personally leave visit ßeng°Rangoon, the place. On expressing this intention to Commod ore Lambert, he, to my very great pleasure, said he would ac company me- I fixed on Monday, the 17th M a y, an d h a d a detachment wa rned to be ready to embark on th a t morn i ng, c - ng of 400 of the 51 st King's Own Light Infantry, 300 o r the 9th Madras Native Infantry, (37 Madras Sappers, and a sergeant and. 6 gunners of the Bengal Artillery. The w h o le party was placed under the comman d of Major Erring ton, of the 51st Light Infantry. The Commodore appointed three fine vessels to carry the troops, the East India Company's steam frigates Sesostris and mozuffer and the Tenasserim, with a smaller steamer, the Pluto, carrying the naval brigade and Marines of her Ma j eaty's frigate Fox. We cleared the Rangoon river on the afternoon of Mon day, the 17th, and on the next evening anchored off Negrais Island, leading into the Bassein river. At da- break the next morning the flotilla weighed, and we ascended that most beautiful stream for sixty miles, which, at four o'clock, brought us in view of the defences, of about a mile long , of the city o f B asse i n : we had passed some new stockades, one at, and the other south of, Naputa, a few miles below the town, whi c h were not armed ; but these consisted of one extensive stockade, with several hundred men in it, fully armed, and with cannon. The enemy looked at us, but did not show any disposition to molest us. The flotilla arrived at the left of their position, a strong well-built mud fort, armed with cannon and men. This we passed within two hundred yards, and so in succes sion all their defences for nearly a mile, till the Tenasserim, with the Commodore and myself on board, anchored oppo site a golden pagoda, centrally situated within the defences. The steamers anchored in succession, without bringing down the fire of a single musket. The admirable position taken up by the steamers induced me to order the immediate landing of the troops. The enemy appeared so completely surprised and paralysed by our ap proach, that I gave orders not to fire unless fired on, and to take possession of the pagoda. Nearly all the men of her Majesty's 51st Foot got on shore under the pagoda before a shot was fired. Captain Latter, my interpreter, accompanied Captain Darrach with a company of the Slit on shore, and landed on the extreme right of the works, opposite a traverse covering a gateway ; and there a p ar l e y was h e l d b etween Captain Latter and some Burmese on the walls, which brought on the first discharge of musketry, killing a sergeant and woundi g two men. This fire was taken up, ran down the works, but soon ceased. At this time Major Erriugttn made his advance on the pagoda and carried it in most g,llant style, the Slit Light Infantry maintaining nobly the character they had ever com manded by their courage and distinguished conduct in the field. The contest that stamped the operations of this remarkable day with a brilliant conclusion wag the attack on the mud fort, most ec entitle-ally built and of great extent, which could only have been constructed under a dispo sition tha. , , commanded the labour of its subjects in the short time they had been about it. It was not eatirely coin pleted in its details within. The storming party under Ma jor Errington proceeding to the left of the Burmese works, accompanied by Lieutenant Rice, of her Ma jesty's frigate Fox, and Lieutenant Ford, of the Ma dras Sappers, came upon this mud fort fully garrisoned and well armed. The attack was most determined, as was the defence obstinate. It was bravely stormed, but with the consequence of Major Errington and several officers and men being severely wounded. Lieutenant Ansley, with a small detachment of the 9th Madras Native Infantry, shared in this contest; he was severely wounded, and the corps proved itself to be as good as it looks, and it is one of the nicest corps I have ever seen ; its gallantry and devotion on this occasion claiming the admiration of all who witnessed it. The whole affair was over a little after six o'clock. While these operations had been going on the Commodore had claimed the services of Captain Campbell, of the Sesos tris, and his men, in destroying a large stockade on the op posite bank of the river ; th e y d rove off the Burmese, tired the stockade, and took six guns. lam informed from several sources that the enemy suf fered very severely ;n the cont es t i n the mud fort. - In having the honour, as well as the gratification, of re porting to the Governor-General in Council the possession of this important station, I will observe that, from every indication of preparation going on, the Government of this country intended to make it a most powerful place, and to repair the loss of Rangoon, by establishing Bassein as their mart of communication with this country, as well as a powerful position to keep in subjection the Pegu population, so decidedly and ever uur friends, and also to maintain a threatening attitude towards the south of Arracan. By leaving Bassein to itself, I should have been giving it back to the soldiery just driven out, as the defences had been built and put into the improved state I have described by five thousand men from the upper country, commanded by a man of reputation. To secure it, _I have left a garrison of companies (160 men) of the olst Light I nfantry, and mouths' rations, two tler aehundred men of the 9 th Madras Native I n f antry. These will be reinforced by a n officer of Artillery and half o ish company, with two 9 -pounder g uns ; the garrison novep a o .lo s r seating two 12-inch howitzer ,. These, wi th two m rations, will leave this on , or about the 26th instant. Major Roberts, of the 9th Madras lhatihe latantry,. . will proceed in , the same vessel to take command of Bassein is an expe rienced and excellent officer. I consider that in a few weeks the Burmese soldiery of the upper country will have returned to their homes, meeting with no sympathy from the Pegu population, and the e Pegu soldiers themselv es are a l rea dy with their lamines,s w o , b tha e t the garrison I ha ve l e f t could, in a military po int of vie withdrawn in six weeks, anti it will then remain Government of India to d ec id e w h e ther it hold with the during the war this very important place. If so, further the commanding arrangements will be very nets sass. M a j or F raser , make it a en gineer, should visit it: a ve r y littl e ex pense will in secure position. The barrack houses the soldiers are now are excellent, and well b u ilt o f woo d. F re sh meat ca n be had, as the population of the place are coming under our pro tection in great numbers.

I now beg particularly to bring to the notice of the Go vernor-General in Council, Major Bouldersen, of the Madras Army, the Deputy J u dge-Advocate-General of the force, who on this occasion accompanied me, and filled the two posts of Assistant- Adjutant and Assistant-Quartermaster- General to the expedition, as I could not move from their important duties at Rangoon Adjutant-General Mayhew nor Quartermaster-General Allan. The Major has been of much essential service to me in va rious ways, and the judicious manner in which he posted the pickets after the capture of Bassein, in that wilderness of houses and jungle, tended to the perfect security of the force. Captain Chads, my Aide• de-Camp, never leaves me, and always makes himself particularly useful. Since my last report, nothing worthy of note has oc curred at Rangoon. The town is increasing in importance by the crowds of natives who daily come in, with their families and goods, as is the case throughout the neighbour hood, but especially at Kemmendine, which is as large a place as Rangoon. The conduct of the troops is excellent, and their health is improving daily since the rain has set in.- 1 h ave ' lI.GODWL'.

Wood, of the 18th Royal Irish, who on the 14th of April commanded his corps, during the storm, into the Great Pagoda, Lieutenant-Colonel Coote holding at the time a separate command, that of the storming party. I shall feel greatly obliged by the notice of the Governor-General in Council of this deserving officer, who is of long standing. MAJOR. A. J. EP.RINGTON, JINN MAJESTY'S 51ST REGIMENT, TO DIED NANT-GENENAL GODWIN, C.B. Off Bassein, May 22d, 1852. Sir,—The operations being concluded, I have the honour now to lay before you a re port of the assault and capture command, on the 19th instant of the strong stockades erected by the ceinenuepfmrio.eyndtawtoufßßaasasnsesineoin,pby the troops under my collt to land. This was effected The East India Company's steamers having anchored . in pt t lio er ou o r un r d .m. o is7a,ale ryw sign a 3 :t h l or L t b t O i n mfo t er h ,t a anh lf e - a p ttr, as Bassein, s pace running along t he river in fro Ks the et/xi:2.de. The work was full of arme d meh,.. and several guns we re i n posi tion. I formed the tr oo p s in line. The whole force had not landed when a fire from the enemy was opened upon us- T his was a signal for the troops to advance, which was done in the most gallant style ;the .fockade was surmounted, the chief Pagoda gained, and the d enemy were Q.iven In every direction. Considering the loss having v f i k n i g l 1 e f d o r a m n e d d w the o u n t r d o e o d p s w i a n s t s h m e al l. s harp tire that was opened up on us i n this gallant attack, our Pagoda, companies were sent out by your orders in different directions to disperse the enemy. emy most important duty still remained to be performed. The enemy's stronghold, a fortified position to the south of the town, was still unmolested. A company of her Majesty's 51st, under Captain Rice, and two of the Madras Native Infa n t ry , un d er Captain Borth wick, were selected to assault this position. I a ccompan i e d this detachment myself, in order to be an eye-witness of what I knew would be a most dashing operation. I halted the party for a few minutes on the road, as Captain Borth wick had not come up, where it was joined by a few seamen and marines, under Lieutenant flies, Royal Navy, by a party of Madras Sappers, with ladders, under Lieutenant Ford, and by a subdivision of the 9th Native Infantry, under Lieutenant Ansley. As it was getting late, I decided upon not wait ing for the remainder of the 9th. Taking a circuitous route we came out in rear of the stockade, in an open space which afforded us a distinct view of this formidable position. I here detached Lieutenant Ansley, with his party, to the right, to attack in reverse the north-east side. Our furthe r p rogress was impeded by water and low thick jungle, obli g i ng us t o t a ke another direction , which brought the party out upon a brick road leading straight up to the north-east of musketry north-east angle of the work. Lpon ope nin g the position, and when within fifteen yards of it , a severe opened upon us by the enemy. I i,',vuanss,an struck in the groin, whichdisabled me at once. Lieu tenantcl jingalls, was shot th r ough the hand. Captain Rice, her Majesty's Rice, ' s v l a s s t Light Infantry, whilst gallantly leading his company up to the assault, was shot through the lower part of the neck; his place was gallantly taken by his subaltern Lieut. Carter, who, followed by his men, was the first on the para pet. He was struck down by a musket-ball, and rolled over the exterior slope, but still insisted upon being carried into the work. Lieutenant Ansley, of the Madras 9th Native In fantry, and Lieutenant Ford, Madras Sappers, mounted the parapet in the most gallant manner, the former receiving a wound through the right hand. The enemy now gave way in every direction, followed by the victorious troops under the command of Lieutenant Ford. Thus, in forty minutes from the time the troops landed, the whole of the enemy's works were in possession. In conclusion, I beg to bring to your notice the noble con duct of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of all arms, who took place in the assault, and the cheerful ness and alacrity with which every individual appeared anxious to perform his duty. I beg to inclose a list of the killed and wounded. I have, &c. A. C. ERP.INGTON, Major. Return of Killed, Wounded, and Missing, at the attack and capture of Bassein, on the 19th May, 1852.

I bad sent her on from Rangoon a day P rev iously, as her small power could not have enabled her to keep up with the steam frigates.At daylight on the 19th, the squadron wei g h e d and pro ceeded up the river, the Pluto from her light draught, being a-head, showing the soundings. The Tennaserim led, fol lowed by the Sesostris and Mozuffer, at half a cabel's length distant. At a few minutes after four o'clock in the afternoon, the r . o , iii e v the fortifications of Bassein appeared in sight, consisting of a very extensive mud fort, and a long line of stockade on the left batik, on which the city stands, and a strong stockade Pagoda, with a brick parapet fronting the river. la ~ in an admirable position on the right bank, stood a verTyheiarg stockade, signal Athatlf-past four, unmo lested.

Fox, Rangoon, Sir,—Referring t o my di spatch o f the 20th inst., I re quest vou will i n f orm hi s L ords hi p i n C o uncil, that afte r we had obtained po ssess i on o f th e c i ty of Bassein I sent the Pluto a short distance up the river, to endeavour to intercept the retreating army. She returned next morning, and Commander Burbank acquainted me that he proceeded up the river above Bassein about forty miles, that he communicated with the village o Mamoon from which the inhabitants ca me off, and in formed him that one of the party then on board was a person of high command at Bassein, daring the attack ; that he then arrested this person, and he has delivered him over to me, together with another officer of high rank. Commander Burbank having been informed that a party of the retreating force, in two boats, had that night left the village, he proceeded in chase, succeeded in capturing one of the boats, in which he found a quantitylanded o f arms and fled into mmu nition, which he destroyed; the troops the jungle. The Pluto afterwards fell in w ith a nother portio n of the de feated Burmese, encamped, b u t w h o fled on being observed, leaving their arms, all which have been destroyed, as well as their barracks. A party of seamen fr om th e F ox em barked in the P lu to , to , assist in the operati ons , un d er Mr. L i s b o a, midshipman (Brazilian Navy). The Proserpine stea m - vesse l having joined me from Moulmein, I disp a t c h e d her, with the Fox's marines, to de. stroy some unoccupied stockades in the neighbourhood of the village of Naputa, which was accomplished without any opposition, assisted by the v ill agers.

While Commander Neblett was waiting for suffi cient water to get into the R an g oon River, I directed him to reconnoitre Donabew; he accordingly pro ceeded to that place, and found that the Go• vernor of Dallah had fled, and that this once famous stronghold was unoccupi ed and defencel ess.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS Or SATURDAY. TIMES.—It used to be thought that a candidate on the hustings, or at a Parliamentary meeting of electors, was in a position only second in point of distress and squeezability to that of a heretic on the rack, or a Hebrew in the dungeon of a Front de Bad. Tied to the stake, and surrounded by a thousand inquisitors, it seemed scarcely possible that he should avoid revealing his most secret intentions to the gaze of a watchful and jealous world. Those days are surely past, since Mr. Disraeli can be let off so easily as he was yesterday on the hustings at Aylesbury. Had his questioners been confederates, and Dr. Lee, his single opponent, a partner in he could not have succeeded more thoroughly in the th m e game, he of his inimitable illusions. The process is such an arrangement of perspective as shall compel a certain class of minds to believe the existence of some distant object absolutely in spite of themselves. In this marvellous picture the foreground is evidently impossible; the next distance Is, to say the least, doubtful; but in the medium of candour thus created no room is left to doubt the last and furthest, though, of course, the indistinetest of the objects before you, It is well known that incredulity itself is the chief instrument of credulity, and that by surrendering a certain amount of the popular faith you may, for a time, obtain a faster hold for the rest. Thus Disraeli gives up the corn-laws altogether. He assures the electors of Buckinghamshire that he never did for an instant expect, or design, their restoration. Such is the fate of the foremost object in the picture of agricultural protection. The next distance is occupied by relief from local burdens. This project has been sifted so often, and to such excellent purpose, that it now affords very little solid , hope; so here, again, the candid exhibitor assures his spec tators that this is only a trifle, and may or may not be be lieved. We don't think 'much of this, he seems to say; it may or may not yield you some relief; but, when we have exhausted this mere surface vein, we shall then be able to di rect our attention to our real object —a general revision of our financial system. That is what you have to hope for. We can only work this mine with an overpowering majority in our favour. Let the nation but, give us the requisite power, and you will see the whole taxation of the country so evenly and skilfully distributed, that none of you shall any more feel it than he does the clothes on his body—in cooler weather than the present. Who can doubt a man that speaks so fair, and that knows so well what is possible and what is impos sible? Me Disraeli takes the farmers into his con fidence. " Now, my good friends, be advised. Give up Pro tection. Don't expect much relief from your local burdens. But, once let us deal with the general taxation, and we shall soon put the right load on the right horse." We really wish it were possible to help the farmer out of that mine of hope, the general taxation; but when so much of it is on imports, and so much of the rest falls on the general consumer, and of what then remains so much fails on other proprietors and persons than landowners and farmers, we must confess that even here all is barren from Dan to Beer sheba. Tie auriferous soil has been turned over so often by successive g enerations of diggers that there is nothing left for this n ew set of financial projectors. What can you take off the f armer except what he shares with the com munity at la rge ? If a general revision of our financial system be one of the blessing that " looms in the distance," we beg to suggest that even our hopes, wild as they are, must submit to be controlled by the laws of possibility. We cannot hope to fly, or to live for ever in this earthly sphere ; we cannot hope to be all of us rich and powerful. Only one in a myriad can hope to be Archbishop of Canterbury or to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and lead the House of Commons. But Mr. Disraeli takes good care that the hopes he inspires shall not be exposed to any such reasonable scrutiny. The " loom" is to appear through a haze ; so it is a poetical and mythical haze that Mr. Disraeli raises before the eyes of his hearers befote he 'attempts to denote the promised relief. Approaching . the credulous and suscep , tibia countryman, he offers sweet words and the vapour of some spiritual chloroform.• The work is soon done. Sweet sounds and smiling faces, soft illusions and dreamy de lights, possess the whole soul of the victim, and another generation is added to the long list of political dupes. But, besides these tender appeals to the un fortunate agriculturist, another purpose and another policy, of a much more possible and practical character, pre sents itself, even through the hazy medium of Mr. Disraeli's address, That policy is what we indicated yesterday, in our remarks upon the copious gush of good measures that has flowed through a really stop-cock Administration. There are fond people who stream that Lord Derby and his Chancellor of the Exchequer will confine themselves strictly to Conservative measures. Do these people remember that Lord Derby has lent a hand at every measure of reform, ex cept those of '46 and '47, since the Reform Bill, and inclu ding that wholesome, but rather revolutionary measure? Do they remember that he helped to lop off the bishoprics from the Irish Church? Do they remember that Mr. Dis raeli is a Liberal by birth and education? —that Lord George Bentinck, the saint of the new Government, lived and died a strong Whig? Do they remember the history of the last session ? When Sir James Gra ham laid the recommendation of the Chancery Commissioners on the table, and exclaimed, " Where will you find the man to carry them out ?" he was, after the com mon usage of mankind, confining his ken to the then exist ing state of things, the then temper of men, and the then c ombinations of party. He did not see " looming in the dis tance" the vi s i on of a " C onservat i ve " G overnment su d denly and carnally admitted to power, and holding power by the tenure of its re f orm i ng act i v i ty . H e did no t contemp l e a Go vernment passing measures against time, and in order to prolong a session and get a stock of credit, helping itself freely from the stores of its predecessors. It is now many years since any change of Ministry made a change of mea sures, nor are we ever likely again to see the tide of reform ebbing and flowing according to the humours of the dominant politicians. Mr. Disraeli will not allow that the measures of the last session were found to hand. They were only original in this, that they were even more liberal than the Whigs themselves would ever have attempted to pass. Such, in fact, is the conflict of par ties in these days. The question is. what men shall have the honour of conducting a given course of legislation? When Peel, partly by policy, partly by accident, had become the destroyer of the corn-laws, it immediately occurred to some of his colleagues that two could play at that game, and that they also might form a Government and party of their own, by first resisting reform, and then carrying it with a strong hand. In this manner, indeed, the Government has spoken out plainly enough. Be its words ever so doubtful, its acts are decided ; they are still acts of reform ; and no one can now doubt that it will do any amount of reform that may be ne cessary to perpetuate its power. It will have no other alter native, and, the greater the pressure applied to it on the meeting of Parliament, the stronger will be its budget of reforms, let country Conservatives like it as they may.

If such be the feelings and the thoughts of the present Chancellor of the Exche quer, it is to be regretted that his previous studies and pur suits have fitted him rather to represent the old-fashioned heart of England than the new lights of the present age, and that the speeches of the elected of Carlisle are lost upon him, and the Times unfolds its columns to dull eyes. He may now count on the gratitude of the nation hereafter for such exertions ; he may have cast in his lot with that which is noblest and fairest; he may show that he is above the narrow spirit of the age, but he will not show that he is fitted to form one in that combination of Cobden, Graham, and Russell, which, if it never shall in reality, dreams that it shall, direct the energies of this great empire. CHRONICLE.—Even the most fertile orator, addressing two similar audiences on the same topics ; with only a day's interval, may be excused if he partially repeats himself. Mr. Disraeli's more elaborate address of yesterday, at the Ayles bury hustings, followed almost word for word, in some pas sages, the speech delivered by him. on Wednesday at New port Pagnell. The achievements of the Ministry, in passing the Chancery Bill and other measures of last session, were made for the twentieth time the subject of self-congratula tion; and there would be little advantage in repeating our frequent exposures of an obvious fallacy. Facts, it is said, are stubborn things; but, in the hands of skilful narrators, they exhibit a. most convenient pliancy. The late House of Commons alternately figures •in Ministerial speeches as the most factious of Oppositions, and as the most accommodatint of legislative bodies. One phase gives lustre to the supposed victories of the Government,. who, in another point of view, exhibit themselves as the trusted leaders of. a confiding Par liament. The present year, we are told, will be rendered immortal by the reform of the Court of Chancery. All the honour of the measure is claimed for Lord St. Leonards, who would certainly Put forward no such pretensions on his own behalf. It is much if the Chancery Commissioners who framed the Bill are ever mentioned by complacent Ministerial orators. Mr. Disraeli only allows them, with somewhat un gracious candour to " Pursue the triumph .and partake the gale." After all, however, there are subjects more interesting to Buckinghamshire freeholders than even the abolition of pro • ceedings in the. Masters' offices. Once more it seems that there is something looming in the future; and political spe. culators, especially of the agricultural section, are anxious to discern its form. The features, at least, are not those of Pro tection. "No one ever believed," says the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with happy audacity, " that the Government had any intention, or ever expressed an intention, to bring back the laws repealed in 1846." No wonder that some dis sentient groans 'interrupted - the applause with which this startling assertion was received. The old • alternative of re adjusting the taxation of the country might naturally have been expected to take place. of the abandoned corn-laws; but we now find that even this boasted discovery has shrunk into secondary importance. Mr. Disraeli " car ries his views much farther," . and promises other measures, which " will redress the grievances of the cultivator of the soil, will place him in a fair position for the exercise of his industry and the em ployment of his capital, and will at the same time, by their wise and comprehensive character, relieve every class in this coantry, by the introduction, into our system of taxation, of principles mote just and More beneficial than those which have hitherto been its basis." This, then, is the change which looms in the future ;- and yet the world is little the wiser for the definition. It ill becomes a master of language to use his skill in concealing, by phrases so plausible and sonorous, a conscious absence of meaning. Does Mr. Disraeli really intend his hearers, or. the country at large, to believe that he has an entirely new, just, and comprehensive scheme of finance ready formed in his mind ?' The project is certainly unkoown to his, colleagues, and by himself it has been kept in the profoundest secrecy. During all the fiscal debates of the last Parliament, the new policy never oozed out; and in the budget speech the existing system was mentioned with unbounded eulogy. Statesmen and economists know well that political science con tains no such mysteries for any Minister to dis cover ; - but • the simplest understanding may judge whether an active party leader would have ab stained during the contests.of the last six years, from using so irresistible a weapon. One subject which occupied a pro minent place in the Newport Pagnell speech was entirely omitted yesterday at Aylesbury—gr. Disraeli left Maynooth out of his address at the hustings. He might be justified in boasting,, on the former occasion, of his consistency with re ference to the Maynooth endowment, if he distinctly avowed his hostility to its continuance ; and it is not necessary to ex amine minutely the motive which induced him to take a con spicuous part in opposing the Bill of 1845. He saw, according to his own account, that theaneasurawas adverse to the spirit of the age—in other words, he knew that a No-Popery cry might become dangerous even to the strongest Minister. Bat Sir Robert Peel . was in the .habit of thinking of justice and the public good, rather than of the easiest methods of con ciliating popular prejudice. The bitter opponent who has now virtually adopted his financial polies, doeS not even pretend to share in the vulgar fanatibism to' which he finds it conve nient to appeal. It is. enough for party purposes that May nooth is unpopular in England; and as- •for Ireland, it is further off, and• its support is in any case lost to the Govern meat. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer is consistent in his disapprobation of 'the endowment, what is to be said of his colleagues?. Lord Derby carried the.-Bill through the House of Lords, and advocated it in speeches of remarkable ability. The majority of the. present Cabalist adopted a simi lar course; norbas it yet been officially appounced that the Ministers are prepared to run the risk of withdrawing the grant. On this question, as on that of Protection, the con stituencies are probably expected eo'dictate the policy of the Government. A calculation of votes will show , When the elections are finished, -- whether English -clamour or Irish discontent will be found the more endurable evil. In the meantime, Mr. Disraeli. judiciously. countenances the popular cry, taking credit,at the same time for the forbearance of the Ministers in not adopting it to its full extent. In dealing with the Proclamation against processions, it would have been impossible to surpass the wonderful statement which astonished the market table of Newport Pagnell. A new Popish plot sud denly sprang up in the fertile brain' of the ingenious Minis terial leader. Good Mr. Walpole had only thought of one or two religious processions ; but Mr. Disraeli, at one stroke, transformed them into seventy, disturbing all the principal towns of the kingdom with their obnoxious pomp. Mysteri ous information had, he informed his auditors, been sworn before the Privy Council ; and the public peace was only preserved by the issue of the Proclamation which first in formed the world at large of the existence of the proceedings which it denounced. Electioneering objects, indeed! The Minister scorns the imputation. All the other acts of the Go vernment may have been prompted by party motives; but the manifesto against processions was a necessary measure of policy, peremptorily required to meet a grave and practical inconvenience. The coincidence of the Pro clamation with the elections, and with the agitation against Maynooth, was 'merely a happy accident. When any Roman Catholic ecclesiastic next applies to Mr. Walpole for directions as to his proper and legal costume, it might be well to ask the Home Secretary whether the law allows priests to conduct religious processions in buckram. There would be little use in discussing with Mr. Disraeli the probability of a. Ministerial majority. on the opening of Par liarnent. The comparative strength of the rival parties will materially depend on the nature of the issue to be tried. Mr. Disraeli himself, will scarcely.ventore to • deny that there is a great Preponderance of numbers in favour of Free-trade; and his only hopes of securing a victory lie in schemes for evading the struggle. The protective duty was first ex changed for the project of shifting local burdens from the land ; and already, as we have seen, the ingenious Chan cellor of the Exchequer is preparing some new device to mystify his less decided opponents. If they will neither pay a tax to the landawner, nor compensate him for losing it, s urely there can be no objection to the policy of cheapening production. A leader of Opposition might, perhaps, catch a few unsteady votes by proposing a resolution in terms osten sibly so harmless ; but a Minister must embody hi s p olic y in definite measure s ; and must cheapen production, if at all, by some financial concession which will necessarily be made at the expense of the rest of the community. There will be an undoubted proposition. majority ready to resist any such Mr. Disraeli cannot—Lord Derby; probably, will not—ab stain from.bringing forward some measure of the kind. The Government will forced either to try its strength on the question which it has so carefully avoided, or to face the just indignation O u r defrauded of their final hope, POST.— dis senting contemporaries are in high feather at what they cousider the great increase of the numerical strength of their party in the new Parliament. They are now nineteen stron instead' of six. And although they plaintively lament g over the loss of the so-called Rev. W. J. Fox, and Mr. L. ,Hayworth, x, ex-Member for Oldham, ax- Member for Derby, con trive to comfort one another with triumphant songs over they the success of Mr. Miall and Alderman Challis. The former of these is, however, their chief card. The bitter controversies which have annually been re-opened in the divided borough of Rochdale, on the subject of ,church-rates must be only too painfully remem bered by our readers. If yens - wish to see dissent in its worst t erm, rabid, coarse, unscruPuloua, stimulating all the bad Passions, cultivating none of the good, pandering to the mob, exciting to violence, desecrating what is sacred, and abusing ,What is holy, go to Rochdale on E a st er Monday , and no present at the, annual audit of the vestry accounts.

We have learnt also too much not to know that , viewed as a religious question, dissent is en titled to great consideration ,on the part of the Government of this country. And, therefore, we advocate religious liberty, and will resist to the utmost any attempts to restrict it. But we have also learnt 'that political dissent is founded not on religious liberty, but civil disaffection ; and aims, not so much at the promotion of liberty of con science as' at the destruction - of several essential insti tutions of this country, and of them more p ar ticularly, the Church. Di ssent ma y be consid ere d •as h ereditary, po litical, and formal or schismatical. Against those who have been born and educated dissenters, who sincerely believe what t h ey have been t aug ht, and th ere f ore sincerely disbelieve the Church, or at least disbelieve her claims to anything good. we have nethiueo say. We accord them what we ask for ourselves. We ivilliogly let • them go their way, while we claim to_ go ours. So, again, when men like Mr. Baptist Noel or Ur. J. 'E. Gladstone' 'formally secede, and join the ranks of are imps ten e t of he discipline, ent, •becauSe they w doubt th C s creed, or l e ave them to stand or fall r hereditary • either dissenters to their own Master.

We stand and constitution , Wow . —on the defen nence doing, we give offence , we sive, and if, in so d tin. It teconi • may be very sorry, tut we must dean B • es no liabre a theological controversy, but a political strife. And what is it, after all, that is contended for by these political firebrands who are to appal the stout heart of the House of Commons? Is it liberty of conscience? That is already conceded. Is it civil rights? They are not withheld. Is it freedom from taxes to support the Established Church? They are already free. Is it exemption from church-rates? That can easily be effected. It will only be necessary for them to pay a higher . rent for their land, or a longer price for their leases, and a short Act of Parliament could make the amount recoverable from the first proprietor, on whom, un doubtedly, in theory, the rate is intended to fall. For con venience of collection, property is let subject to church rates, but it is the owner, and not the occupier, who really pays. So far, then, the claim for exemption is absurd, when set up by occupiers only; and when preferred by owners, is not less unreasonable, since the liability to church-rates entered, of course, into the calculations by which the purchase of the proper: y was determined. In this way, the argument is carried back till we arrive at the first imposition of a rate, and the equity of the statute empowering it. And here it is a simple matter of quid pro quo. kor convenience of jurisdiction, England is mapped out into parishes. It is necessary to provide for every person the means of procuring Christian baptism, in struction, marriage, and sepulture. For this purpose the State uses the Church which it finds existing and pervading the country, but which is intrinsically quite a separate cor poration—adopted by the State, but by it neither created nor endowed. It imposes upon the clergy the duty, under penalty, of ministering these necessary offices to the inhabi tants of the parish—and it imposes upon the parishioners the simple duty of keeping in decent repair and preservation the church where they are baptized, married, and taught; and the churchyard where their families lie buried. It this be a hardship, if this offend any man's conscience, if this will justify a class of men who dissent from the Church, because it is not good enough for them, in breaking through every rule of Christian charity, simple honesty, and good faith, then the sooner we throw history, logic, common sense, and plain dealing to the winds, the better. What is it then that these rabid broth-eaters really desire? It is the simple subversion of the Church of England. A modest object truly. And why? Because they are jealous—jealous of the endowments which piety more self-denying than their own has bequeathed to her—jealous of the influence she pos sesses through• the country- jealous of her learning and moral standing—jealous of her universities and public schools —jealous of her large though hardly-earned share of the education grant—and jealous of herconserving influence upon those institutions which their own unscrupulous liberalism seeks to overthrow. This is political dissent, at which Bax ter would have blushed, and Wesley hid his head, but which their degenerate descendants laud to the skies as the charac teristics of a golden age. ADVERTISER.—We yesterday made a passing allusion, the claims on our space not admitting of our doing more, to the ferocious address delivered from the altar, by the Popish priest of Tralee, against those who meant to vote for the Protestant candidate. We venture to say that anything in the shape of ecclesiastical cursing, which could be at all compared 'with this concentration of demoniacal malignity, has not been witnessed since the time of the notable priestly curse recorded by Sterne, in which the powers of language seemed to be exhausted, in invoking vengeance on the de voted head of the man who was the object of that unparal leled piece of priestly malevolence. Let us recall attention to this extraordinary effusion of Popish hatred and rage. It is well that the Protestants of Great Britain should keep their eye fixed on these developments of the spirit which animates the Church of 'Rome towards all • who differ from her, as they are incidentally made from time to time. It is of importance not- to forget that the fiendish display of the Tralee priest, is. but a fair specimen of the spirit by which the adherents of Popery are everywhere actuated, though the priests generally are too good tacticians .to express them selves in the same out -spoken and energetic manner as the priest of Tralee, and those other priests to whom we are about to allude, have done. Let us cull a few flowers of rhetoric from this priestly exhibitidn of meekness, love, and Christian charity. They deserve to have all the prominence which our colurhns can confer upon' them. Take as the first specimen of the spirit by which the Tralee priest is animated, the opening sentences of his address, delivered, be it remem bered, from that altar which is professedly consecrated to the moat sacred rites of the Roman Catholic religion : —"lf there be," says this Rev. Joho Maine, "if there be one amongst you who still clings to, and gloats over, his sin, let him not show his face. I will be on tele hustings, and watch the per jured wretch who dares comes forward, and, for a paltry bribe, register his vote for Kinderlev. I'll mark him;" Again—" If there be a Catholic elector of this borough who will dare to go forward and register his vote for the English enemy, pass him' by with scorn anel•contempt. Do not be seen to walk with him, to talk to him, or associate with him. Let him -feste r i n hi s corruption ; be not you contami nated by any contact with a wretch so base and degraded. Despise him. If you meet him on the high road, pass over to the other side. Have no dealing with him." This must be formidable enough to any Roman. Catholic. To be treated as if the mark of Cain were on his forehead, or as the lepers were of old, whom no one would approach, would, it might be supposed, he of itself sufficient to deter any Roman Catholic from voting in -any -other way than this priestly dictator thought fit to prescribe. But -what follows would, to most Roman Catholics, be more terrible still. There is nothing in this world which would more alarm and appal a Roman Catholic, than to be denied the presence of his priest, and the last rites of his • religion, on • his deathbed. Yet that most dreadful doom is held in terrorem over the heads of those who might dare to vote in any other way than the priest of Tralee thought proper to preacribe.• ." For. my part," he says, f‘ I'll confess to you what my feelings are with respect to those wretched and corrupt Catholics. Let me suppose one of those wretches prostrated by sickness. Suppose the hand of death heavy upon him, and that a messenger comes to me to attend him in his dying moments. If there were no other priest in the way, I would be bound to go. I dare not re fuse to attend him. But I confess to you that I would be sorry from my heart to be called upon to attend the death bed of such a being.—(Great - sensation.) -I would go to at tend such a wretch with a heavy heart—without much hope, because I would feel that I was going to administer sacra ments to one whose conscience-was so seared, and whose heart was so rotten at the core, that I could not have much expectation of effecting a conversion. Overpowered with the impression that I was about to visit a perjured wretch who, fora miser able bribe, had betrayed the dearest inte res t s o f hi s country and his religion, and borne crown with the harrowing re flection that God, in his just anger, might leave such a wretch to die in his sins —(Sensation)-1 would fear that my mission would be fruitless—that I could have no hope of converting a heart so hardened, so lost to every sense of duty and religion, as to vote in support of those who would trample on the Lord of Hosts.—(Sensation.)" We offer no comments on language like this. It needs none. Any re marks of ours would only weaken the effect which it cannot fail to produce on every reflecting mind. We hear of landlord di c t at i on : what landlord d i ctat i on could com pare with thi s ? ..This Popish priest iv, in reality, the man who .returns the Member for Tralee. The Pro testant candidate felt compelled to retire from the con test, when he found himself confronted by odds so tremen dous against him. The Rev. 11r. Maine is much more of a boroughmonger than ever the late Duke of Newcastle was, or than any nobleman or gentleman in England now is. It is a mockery to - say that the'Romari Catholic constituency of Tralee possesses the elective franchise. They possess it only in name. In reality, and in effect, the Rev. Mr. Maine is the sole depository of the electoral qualification, so far as regards the Roman Catholic portion of the •constituency in that bo rough. Mr. Ptlatirice O'Connell, the candidate who was re turned, is the representative of this Popish priest, and of him alone—not of the -constituency. But the borough of Tralee is not the only borough in Ireland which can-rejoice in a priest of the character we have sought to describt, merely by quotin g his own, words. There are other Reverend Mr. Maines in the sitter island. .The , crop, ,indeed, is rather abundant. There is one whose name is not given us by our correspondent, who rejoices in being located in the King's County, who issin every respect worthy 'of his brother in Tralee. " I received," says oar communication, " a letter, yesterday, stating that such a system of intimidation had been organized by the priests in the King's County, that he feared lives would be lost in getting the men to the poll ; and that, on last Sunday, at Tullaghmore, the officiating priest, in the course of a most furious tirade, delivered against the Conservative .candidate,. declared that every, man who voted for him would go to hell and the devil. This was said in the presence of an officer of the regiment quartered there, who had accompanied his men to divine service at the chapel." Another and another still. Listen to the lan guage of two 'priests of Holy MOther Church, spoken from the altar on Sunday last:—" You will have some idea," says the writer; " of the part the priests are taking, when I quote for you the language used from two different altars on Sunday. One priest told his flock that he would seal up the mouths of every one of them who attempted to vote against their Church; and another, who preached at great length upon the crucifixion, several times in the course of his discourse impressed upon his hearers that any of them who would vote for Fitzpatrick, who had assisted in passing such an Act against their Church as the Ectlesiastical Titles Act, would make himself a participator in shedding the blood of our Saviour." Thia, we presume, oxr readers will allow to be bad enough; yet, bad as it is, worse remai ns be hind. The foll ow i ng is a piece of priestly eloquence ; • "HELL BROKE LOOSE!" The dem on o f persecution is up Englen d • _ Blood shed, sacrile ge , • and f i re b ee n demolished ; Terror.

A T; -.g M ain, we say, it is the priests, and they alone, wh o return the embers in those n parts of Ireland, where there is a preponderance Catholic voters.
