The Irish Tithe Bill was read a first time in the House of Commons last night, and laid upon the tablt amidst loud cheering. Sir ROBERT PEEL availed himself of this opportunity to state the course which he meant to pursue with respect to the Bill. The Right Hon. Baronet has had sufficient time to digest his plan of operations against the measure; and having done so, he announces it to the world with his usual frankness and. candour. On these two charac teristic qualities of the Leader of the Opposition, we shall leave our Tory contemporaries to expatiate, and shall proceed to make a few remarks on the scheme which he has contrived fur upsetting a measure . so well calculated to heal the wounds of Ireland, and therefore, as a matter of course, so repugnant to the taste of that faction whose ruling. , principle it has, always been to excite and keep up civil and religious dissension in that unhappy country. _ _ _ Our readers are aware that the Irish Tithe Bill pro poses to convert the tithes into a rent-charge on the land, as also to reform the Irish Church by rendering the emoldments of the Clergy in some measure pro- • THE SUN, LONDON, WI4IDNMA 8, 1835.

If a retailer of spirits send out several parcels of spirits bona fide intended for, and addressed to, several different individuals, each parcel not exceeding a gallon, although in the aggregate above a gallon, no permit is neces sary, notwithstanding all might be sent out at the same time, by the same conveyance. This division, however, of the quan tity into smaller divisions will not excuse the necessity of a permit, if the whole (being one description of spirits) is in tended for one person. " June 23, 185.

The principal strength of Russia is at present composed of thirty- four millions of Muscovites, who have no will, save that of the Emperor ; who have no balancing power, no protecting statutes, no property ; who are attached to the soil, or transportable, at his pleasure, to the remotest parts of the empire ; not excited by the hope of advance ment, not even spurred by the obligation of providing for their own necessities ; resigned to whatever fate awaits them, not inquiring into it. The indolent the untractable, the turbulent spirits, if such are found, are draughted into the army, and the mass remains, as before, with its passive and active obedience, its strong muscle and pliant will. Institutions, personal character, political accident, and religion, may separately and disjointedly produce devoted ness, on the part of a people to its leader, its prophet, or its government. But here all possible causes coincide to pro- duce that devotedness which consequently exists in a de gree, and in an extent, unparalleled. Then are the ele ments of the power of Russia fixed and increasing, because dependent on immutable causes, faith, ignorance, climate, geographical structure, and extent. This is the mighty nucleus round which her conquests have been and are to he agglomerated ; her future acquisi tions are to furnish the resources which are to equip and pay the number of men drawn from this uncontaminated nursery, that are to render those conquests durable, and to depress the populations she acquires down to her own level, or below it. Above this mass of serfs there is no middle class. The Russian merchant when, as an exception, he does emerge from serfage, rises in the second generation to the cIaSS of nobles, or sinks ngain inrahls original - state. The progress of Russia in manufactures has produced no independent class of artisans ; her principal factories are the property of the Crown, and the workmen the most wretched of the serfs. The soldier propagates no free race ; he is himself made free, and therefore loses all interest in his brethren ; but his children born before enrolment remain serfs, and sub sequent marriages remain unfruitful, from the dissolute mo rals of a Russian barracks. The military colonies are spe cific nurseries of soldiers intended to reproduce and support the army, without being a drain on the general population (deteriorated by the continual abstraction of the finest men), and at little or no charge to the State. The regiments stationed on certain frontiers, where a strong and warlike population, - and an exhausting climate, oppose her progress, must be married. Lands are allotted them, they then form a military settlement like those of ancient Rome ; opposed in interests and in feelings to the natives, and inured to the climate.—British and Foreign 'lt-view.

The Mobile Regider of the '23d of May, has the following --" The fate of Mrs. Alston, the accomplished lady of Governor Alston. of South Carolina, and daughter of Aaron Burr, has been shrouded in mystery for more than 20 years. Occasionally, indeed, some gleams of light have been thrown around her melancholy end, and the belief is that she fell a victim to piratical atrocity. Some three years ago, it was currently reported that a man, residing in one of the inte rior counties of this State made some disclosures on his death bed, which went to confirm the confession previously made by a culprit on the gallows, that the vessel in which Mrs. A. sailed was scuttled for the sake of her.plate and effects. The fol lowing article, which we copy from the Alabama Jour nal, goes to throw some additional light ou the sub jett. The facts mentioned in it are quite new to us, acid will be, most probably, to most of our readers : Confession of a Pirate. The public, no doubt, remembers the story of the daughter of Aaron Burr, who was the wife of Governor Alston, of South Carolina. On the return of her father from Europe, about the year 1812, she embarked from Charleston on a visit to him at New York, on board a priva teer-built vessel, and was never heard of afterwards. It seems that her friends at first thought the vessel had fallen into the hands of pirates, and afterwards concluded that it was wrecked and lost. It appeared from the statement of a re spectable merchant of Mobile, that a man died in that city re cently, who confessed to his physician, on his dying-bed, that he had been a pirate, and helped to destroy the vessel, and all the crew and passengers, in which Mrs. Alston had em barked for New York. He declared, says the Gentle man, that, after the men were all killed, there was an unwillingness on the part of every pirate to taking the life of Mrs. Alston, who had not resisted them or fought them, and therefore they drew lots who should perform the deed, as it had to be done. The lot fell on this pirate, who declared that he effected his object of putting the lady to death by layieg a plank along the edge of the ship, half on it and half off, or over the edge, and made Mrs. Alston walk on that plank till it tilted over into the water with her. The dy ing pirate requested the physician to make this story public, but his surviving family will not permit or consent that the name of the deceased should be known. The above tale was repeated over and over by the merchant before mentioned in the presence of a number of gentlemen, whose names can be given. He said bercceived it from th e p h ys i c i an hi mse lf , with no other injunction to sFuresy than th a t h e s h ou ld not disclose the mute of the physician for , the p revent . O n b e i ng asked if the physician was a man of voracity and resp ec t a bilit y , Ir) replied there was no one more act in Mobile. The mer. cl,ant was warned that this story would get into the news papers, to which he wade no objection.' " The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 21 minutes past 3 o'clock. portionate to the duties they have to perform ; the ' saving arising out of this reform to be applied to the purposes of gen'eral education. The means by which these views were to be carried into effect were detailed in Lord MoRTETH's admirable speech of the 26th ult., and it was evident, from the conduet of the Tories on that occasion, that they were greatly disappointed and ;flightily enraged. They had flattered themselves that the MELBOURNE Administration would be unable to cope with the difficulties with which the question of Church reform in Ireland was beset, because they themselves had not sense enough to surmount them. When, therefore, they found that a wise and liberal Government had devised a plan by which the changes and reforms. rendered necessary by the state of Ireland might be effected without infringing, in the most remote degree, the principle of an Esta blishment, their rage knew no bounds. Sir HENRY HARDINGE, the concoctor of the Tory plan of Irish Church Reform, spoke more like a man who had received a gross personal affront, than a statesman considering a question of public policy ; and now Sir ROBERT PEEL comes forward with much more mo deration, but not less deadly hostility to the measure, to develope the plot which the party have matured to defeat its object. The expedient resorted to is rather novel. " There are, says Sir ROBERT, certain parts of this Bill of which I approve, and certain other parts of which I disapprove"—no very unusual circumstance, we should think—" therefore," conti nues the Right Hon. Gentleman, " I give you warn ing that when the Bill goes into Committee, I mean to move that it be an instruction to the Committee that the Bill be divided into two Bills---that the parts of which I approve be thrown into the one, and dips 'of which I disapprove into the other, and-my reasai for doing this is, that I may not be obliged to oppose that portion of the Bill which I think deserves my support." This is the course Sir ROBERT means to pursue, and this the reason he assigns for adopting it—a reason, we may observe in ,passing, which would justify the same mode of procedure in all other eases. The portion of the measure which Sir ROBERT would embody in his favoured Bill, is that which relates to the conversion of tithe into a rent-charge. The plan proposed by Government to effect this, he thinks would do, provided there . were engrafted on it a provision giving the landlord a power of redemption, but he does not condescend to show how the interests of the clergy are to be promoted by their incomes being made dependent on the state of the Stocks. The parts of the present measure to which the Right Hon. Baronet has the most decided objec tion, and which he would include in a separate Bill, are the appropriation of the surplus revenue to other than ecclesiastical purposes, and what he calls the sup pression of the cure of souls in 868 parishes. We can readily understand his dislike to the appropriation principle. There arc many unpleasant recollec tions associated with it in his aspiring mind ; but he is guilty of a misrepresentation when be says that the cure of souls has been suppressed in 868 parishes. In every one of these parishes in which there is a soul to be cured, provision has been made for that object ; and even when there are none, the principle has been recognized by an incorporation quoad spiri tualia with some neighbouring parish. , The carrying of the eleventh clause in the CoUnty Coroners' Bill, which recognizes the principle of con ducting the business of the Court with open doom, is a striking instance of the eonsistent firmness and inte grity of the majority of the present House of Com mons. Parliament begins to take a right view of ite duties, and of the only way in which they can be dis charged effectually. A legislative body which does not base its acts on some fixed and immutable prin ciple—some truth which will serve for a polar star in any tempest—must always mislead the people, and mismanage their affairs. Even should the princi ple adopted be an erroneous one, an adherence to it is a thousand times preferable to the zig-zag course of legislating according to the promptings of present expediency,- without regard to order or ul timate consequences. Now the Parliament of Great Britain having previously recognised the principle that the exercise of all delegated power should be public, we are glad to find it consistent with itself in refusing to sanction, under any circumstances, a direct departure from it. In a free country, such as ours, we all know drat it is the omnipresence of the public eye that keeps all public functionaries honest. Find means to exclude its gaze, and justice will be an vendible as any vegetable in Covent-garden Market. From the Lord High Chancellor of England to the lowest bailiff in the train of a County Sheriff—from the High Court of Parliament to the humble tri bunal presided over by a district seneschal—all would be one mass of bribery, perjury, and corruption in its worst and most loathsome forms, did not the Constitution of the country secure to Englishmen the invaluable principle of the people's right to be pre sent wherever justice is being administered. Some of the objections urged against the opening of Coroner's Courts to the public were not a little curious. Mr. HARDY thought " there was too much plausibility in an open Court," but as the Court did not sit for punishment but enquiry, he thought there could be no good reason brought forward against elos ing it. He also cited an instance of a murderer who attended an Inquest which was open, and from the evidence given he found that he was likely to be im plicated, and so made his escape--an evil that could not have happened had the Court been closed. With regard to these objections, we may be allowed to say that they are both worthy ut that lloa, sagacity. Is it no punishment to eommit for trial, and so incarcerate under a ban of murder, perhaps, for a period of some weeks, probably months ? Does the com mittal for a capital crime, even where the party com mitted is subsequently proved to be innocent, carry no calamity with it ? Are such mistakes never followed by injury to the families and relations of individuals so committed? .It is unnecessary to answer these questions. Thera is no man of business who is not perfectly sensible that suspicion under such circum stances would be ruinous to - him. - Now, what are we to think of the legislator who would commit this en gine of oppression to the custody of a single individual, who might direct it unobserved against the most ex cellent persons, without allowing them an opportunity of defending themselves, and yet who would defend the concession, on the ground that a Coroner's Court is merely . a Court of Inquiry ? Mr. HARDY appears to entertain the most pious horror of the escape of mur derers who attend Coroners' Inquests. The escape of a murderer is unquestionably a very great evil ; but we will take upon ourselves to assure him, that it is one of those which will - not follow the throwing - open of the Courts. There. may be an exception, but in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, the murderer will take the best care in his or her power to keep from the Inquest. Such exceptions, when they do occur, are out of the reach of legislative enactment for they can only happen where the mur derer labours under an infatuation which renders escape impossible, or when he is armed with the power of bidding open defiance to the authority of the executive. The instance cited by Mr. HARDY does not touch the soundness of the principle. Even there, one of the great ends of justice was accomplished, for.society got for ever rid of the wretch. Looking, then, at this question, as surrounded with all the difficulties with which the Conservatives seek to en6ompass it, our opinion is that there is no Com parison between the positive evils of a Closed - Court, and all the possible ones that could arise from an open one. We believe that there is no man acquainted with the science of jurisprudence who will not readily admit that the punishment of one innocent member of society is a greater evil in a state than the escape of ten criminals object of all judicial proceedings being rather with a view to protect innocence than to punish guilt. Even the escape of a murderer, in consequence of a Coroner's Court being open, is by no means so great an injury to society as the committal of an innocent man on such a charge—an evil which has often .re sulted from closing the doors during such investigations. In a new Quarterly periodical, just published by RInGwAY,-and entitled " The British and Foreign Review"- , --the first Number of which is now lying be fore us—there is - a paper on the nature and designs of the modern system of Russian policy, which, by the force and variety of its arguments ; its bold, caustic, sinewy style ; and more especially by its analytical cha racter, reminds us of some of those admirable essays on foreign affairs with which LOrd BROUGHAM for, so many years delighted the readers of the Edinburgh' Repieib. The object: of the Essay is to create a wholesome distrust. the professions of the Peters- . burgh Cabinet,-ley showing that - notwithstanding its pacific professions, and affected love of moderation, it is slowly but surely paving the way for the attainment of the one paramount object of its ambition—the pos session of Constantinople. To effect this great end, Russia, the Reviewer asserts, wily hesitate at no sa crifice—at forfeiting no pledge however solemnly sworn to. Yet she will not precipitate her de signs, or break out into any premature 'explosion: far otherwise, she will bide her time, in the firm con viction—so infatuated is she on this one point—that the clay is not far distant that trill see her the mistress of Constantinople. On this branch of his theme the_ Reviewer expatiates with considerable eloquence and vigour. " Russia's progress," he observes, "is not the sudden conquests of a gifted leader, but the regular advance of a system. The incorporation of a vast em pire, which the is now compassing, is a work'of infinite labour, and until completed, .she dares not awaken Europe from its slumbers. She must not threaten and alarm ; she must soothe and undermine ; she does not excite combinations against her ; she sows dis sensions before her ; , the chains she carries do not clank ; her footsteps have no echoes ; her shadow blights where her hand cannot yet reach, and where she comes, it is to abide." Yet this is the power from which not a few of our Legislators, seem to think civilized Europe has no cause for apprehension I NAPOLEON, who knew her well, thought otherwise, and .was of opinion, in common with the Reviewer, that unless France and England confederated to check her ambitious career, no earthly power could prevent her wresting Constantinople from its Legitimate Sove reigns ; adding Persia to the number of her conquests, and, by so doing, opening a road for the march of her armies to the British possessions in the East. At the present moment there is no Cabinet eo wily, and, in nine cases out of ten, so successful in its intrigues, as that of St. Petershurgh—none, consequently, that should be the object of more unceasing jealousy to all European States. Dr. BRYCE, Principal of th© Belfast Academy, commenced a series of lecturog yesterday at Willis's Rooms, on a subject of vast importance, but hitherto almost neglected in this country, —namely, the art of teaching. The great objects of this science are, to communicate real knowledge and mental cultivation, not only in the shortest time, but in the most attractive form, and, what is of still greater importance, to _form the moral and religious character of youth in public schools. Defective as the system of teaching is in this country, the evil arising from the defect is trifling, as compared with the injury which is in flicted by bad example, and an almost total disregard of shat is properly called moral instruction. This evil has latterly been on the increase, and has become so evident, that many parentS, preferring - "moral habits to any literary acquirements, have been prevented al together from sending their children to public schools: The subject is, however, beginning to attract public notice ; and we trust that a system which has .been found so successful in Prussia, and many parts of Ger many, and which the groat patron of education, Lord BROUGHAM, has so long had in view, will speedily be adopted in this country, The remarks of his Lordship on this subject, in his comprehensive and convincing speech on education in the House of Lords well merit the attention of the Government. After describing the beautiful effects of proper education, he adds : " Here, then, is the path plain before us—fOr there is not a single school in which the children might not be thus trained and accomplished. Place No , -al Semi. naties—seminaries for training teachers—in a few such plaoes as London, York, Liverpool, Durham, and Exeter—so that the west, south, nortn-east, anti north-west of the island shall have the means of ob taining good masters, and you will yearly qualify 500 persons fitted for diffusing a perfect system of instruc tion all over the country. These Training Seminaries would" not only teach the masters the branches of learn ing and science they are now deficient in, but would teach them what they know far less—the didactic art— the mode of imparting the knowledge which they have, or may acquire--the best method of training and deal ing with children, in all that regards both temper, ca: naeitv. and habits. and the means of stirring them to exertion, and controlling their aberrations. tie whole operation would occasion a very trifling expense to the State ; I think 20,0001., for five or si x years wou ld, with the individual efforts that must b e ca ll e d f ort h, suffice for country." ming effectually the wh o l e Ed ucat i on softhee We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of. Monday, bringing intelligence from Madrid to the 30th ulti The REGENT has appointed General SARSFIELD to the command of the army in the North—at least so sa y private letters from the Spanish capital. SARS ,II3I,,D commanded the army of operation in the Basques in the beginning of 1834, and was only re called at his own express and urgent desire. A com mission, composed of two Proceres or Peers, one de puty, and two public functionaries, in all five persons, has been appointed to inquire into the best means of establishing and preserving the liberty of the press. When the courier left Madrid all was perfectly tran quil in that metropolis. The letters from Bayonne, and the Journals •of the South of France, do not yet explain the mariner in which the raising of the siege of Bilboa was effected. Thc following particulars are extracted from a letter, dated Bayonne, July 1 :—" This very moment , a re port was spread that the Spanish Consul in this city has received intelligence of an advantage gained by Generals Latri, Iriarte, and Espartero, in the environs of Bilboa on the 28th. The result of the affair is said to have been the raising of the siege of Bilboa, the abandoning of the positions round the city, and a gr6at number of prisoners'taken." fi►e most extraorimary dou►estic inWiligence cu►, tainedin this day's arrivals from Paris, is the arniouuce ment of the discovery of a plot to assassinate the KING. The manner in which the plot was found out is not . yet made public, but on Sunday evening five persons were seized, and on Monday morning two more captured.' The plan of the conspirators was to kill the KING while passing from the Tuilleries to Neuilly. The place has been considered well chosen, and had the assassins succeeded in attacking his MAJESTY, there is little doubt but that they would have despatched him before they could be overpowered by his guards. As soon as the existence of the conspiracy was made known on Monday, a deputation from the Peers, and several other public functionaries, proceeded to Neuilly to congratu late his MAJESTY on his escape. Should the above be correct, there is nothing very surprising in it. Of that the King of the FRENCH is perfectly well aware. But may it not be one of those manoeuvres which have already been so frequently adopted for the purpose of directing public attention from the persecution of the prisoners of April? We certainly suspect as much. When a conspiracy is set on foot to rid the world of Louis PHILIPPE, (from which evil may GOD preserve his Most Chris tian Majesty,) we are confident it will succeed, for none will engage in it but persons capable of baffling the vigilance of royal spies.

Majority for Mr. Lees-13. A pubAc meeting was held on Saturday in the Town-hall, Saffron Walden, the Right Hon. Lord 13raybroke presiding, in order to receive a report of the loss sustained by the farming interest in the range of country between Langles, Essex, and Babraham, Cambridgeshire, occasioned by the calamitous visitation of a hail storm, which destroyed so many growing crops, in the afternoon of the 9th of June, estimated at 10,1801. The meeting was highly interesting. A letter was read from Lord Dacre, who was too ill to attend, stating his intention to allow his tenants a fourth of their loss, and endeavour to mitigate the distress of all sufferers. The sub scriptions amounted to 5501., among which were Lord Bray. broke, 100 guineas ; R. B. Wolfe, Esq., 50 guineas ; Messrs. Gibson, 100/. ; Rev. Mr. Raymond, 10/. ; and the Rev..

It occurred in a barn on the farm of Mr. Batts, and rose to such an alarming height that the parochial consta bles were compelled to call in the assistance of the Bow-street mounted patrols before they could restore order. Two men, named Martin Bailey and John Mullings, and Margaret Bailey, the wife of the former, were eventually taken into cus tody and locked up in the cage. Yesterday the prisoners were brought before Lord Montfort and William crighton, Esq., at Brantford, when, after a long examination, Martin Bailey was fully committed to Newgate for trial on the capital charge (under Lord Ellenborough's Act) of cutting and maiming Jo seph Haines and William Bachelor with a sithe. Mullings was fined 20s. for the common assault, and Margaret Bailey was discharged. MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN A WOOD BETWEEN LEIGHTON AND WOBURN.— On Friday last an inquest was held before Mr. Eagles, coroner for Bedfordshire, on the body of a male perion unknown. From the evidence of James Ste phens, a plat dealer of Heath and Reach, it appeared that hav ing seen a paper stating that a man bad strayed from the workhouse at Toddington, he and four other men went to show the wood above-mentioned, where noise had lately been heard. On getting about thirty yards into the wood, they found the body of a man quite dead. He had on a dark blue coat with a velvet collar dark cloth waist coat, brown kerseymere trowsers, white handkerchief, black beaver hat, and a handkerchief in it ; he had a blue cotton handkerchief under his head, not hemmed. Close to him stood a bottle half full of beer; in his pocket was a dark-coloured purse, containing 1 ls. 6d., a few halfpence, and a knife ; also a biscuit paper, on which was written " H. Phillips, Esq., Regent-street." A half-pint pot and a hedge stake were afterwards found where the body lay, which was in some sedgy grass and leaves ; the right hand was in the pocket, grasping the purse. Mr. John Bishop, saddler of Leighton, deposed that he saw the body, and recognized it to be that of 'a person who had called on him on the previous Monday, of the name of William Conder, a partner of Betts, a saddletree-maker at Oxford. Witness knew him from dealing with him, and gave him an o r d er on M on day- He then appeared to be in a very low way, and pleaded great poverty. Witness gave him nine shillings on account, and remarked to his wife and journeyman that he did sot think the man in his right senses. From a previous know ledge of the man, witness is satisfied that the body found is that of the same person. The most remarkable features in this story are that Richard Barrett was sent to Oxford to give notice to Conder's friends, and while there, - Condit- himself came home from his journey. The handkerchief on the de ceased, was marked "W. C., No. 2." Whilst at Leighton, Conder pinched a blister on his right foot, and on examina tion of the deceased, a blister, pinched just in the same place, and on the same foot appeared. Mr. Wagstaff, surgeon at Leighton, on a post mortem examination of the deceased, could find no marks of violence on the body, and no appear a nce of poison having been taken. The Jury returned a verdict of " Found dead." • CAPTURE OF THE LAST NATIVE INHABITANTS OF VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—We have been favoured by a gen tleman with the following highly-interesting extract of a letter from. Launceston, Van Diemen's Land, dated January 31 I am just returned from seeing a very interesting but me lancholy sight; the last of the unfortunate native inhabitants of this island; the remainder of those few unhappy savages who so long kept us in 'error ! They were taken a few days since, to the westward, and consist of three women, one nun , and some little children, called piccaninies. One of the pail'' , an old woman, spoke pretty good English, having probably learnt it some years ago among the stock-keepers. They in form us that they are the last of their tribe, once 500 stropp which was long dreaded under the name of the Big-river tribe. They say that, by innumerable affrays with the white men, they were at last reduced to three men, exclusive of women and piccaninies, and that, a few months since, they were sur prised, and two of the men were killed ; that they wandered all over the island, for the purpose of joining some other tribe, feeling themselves too weak to exist, and under constant dread that the remaining man would be killed ; and the rest, who, it appears, could not get food themselves, starved. They wandered over the island in every direction, but found no traces of black men ; they began to despond, and lead a mise rable existence, feeling themselves to be the last natives in the whole island, and that the white men had rooted them out. It makes my heart bleed to think of it, but they acknowledge having killed a great many white men, and said they were very glad when they were taken. This was effected by means of some Sydney natives. On a shot being fired they all fell on their faces, and did not attempt to escape. They . are now merry and happy, and pointed to the vessel which is to take them off their island with great glee. They are there taught gardening, agriculture, and the arts of civilized life. We had long believed the natives were nearly, if not quite, extii ct, and have not the slightest doubt of the truth of their simple story. To look on that fine, tall, and somewhat scleinn-lcult ing savage, the last of his tribe, filled me with emotions wb:cli it would be in vain to attempt to describe.
