LONbaN : SATURDAY, FEBR.UARY 27, 1841. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions in the Rouse of Lords last night against grants to Mavnooth, &c. The Destruction of Property (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. _ - - A brief conversation took place about the mail packet station, and Lord ASHBURTON characterised the Government plan as absurd. Their Lord_ ships then adjourned till Monday. , The Commons read the Severn Navigation Bill second time, after a brief discussion. Mr. HINDLEY presented an excellent petition - 60 in Ashton for a revision of the tariff. Several other petitions were presented. In answer to Mr. HUME, Mr. NAGLE stated that an account of the expense of Lord CARDI GAN'S trial might be laid before the House. Lord STANLEY'S Registration Bill was post poned till Monday, when the Government Bill stand. to be committed, and when Lord JOHN RUSSE LL is to explain what he proposes to do. The Hauge went into Committee on Lord KEANE'S Annuity Bill. In the Committee Mr. the words EWART moved to omit extending th e grant to t h e two next heirs,, so a s to confine it to Lord KEANE for his life.. Captain HAMILTON, who has before exhibited symptoms of an independent mind, though he be a Tory, supported Mr. EWART. He regretted that the people out of d oors should suppose that handthe grantin nd g of a peerage an d a pension must go i n ha. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE supported the original /notion. After a short debate the Committee divided, and the original motion was carri e d b y 117 to 74. The Bill went through the Committee unaltered. _ _ The Fast India Rum Duties Bill also went through a Committee. The Railways Bill was committed pro form a , to enable Mr. LABOUCHERE to introduce some amendment in it. A motion for a Bill to enable Municipal Councils to borrow money on annuities was with drawn. The Rouse Adjourned. Tb .e late debate has two very distinct fea tures, like most d e b ates, namely, per sonalities and the public bearjags of the sub ject in hand.

On the former we shall however observe that Sir ROBERT PEEL en deavoured to win support by referring to the implied contract between the Ministry of 1829 and certain high-flying Tories) who assented to the passing of the Emancipation Act on con dition of extinguishing the forty-shilling freeholders, expecti ng th ere b y t o i mpe d e L or d JOHN RUSSELL in carrying the Bill, on the ground that the Whigs of that day were a party to the contract, and that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would be personally degraded if he did not ad here to it. • Independently of the personalities of such an appeal, as if what Lord JOHN RUSSELL or any other person might have thought and done in 1829 was now to be an insuperable bar to doing justice to millions of people, the remark of Sir ROBERT PEEL has both an historical and moral interest. In 1829 we had a boroughmongering Parliament. The people were then far worse represented than now. The Peerage was avowedly packed by the Tories, corrupt and bi goted. Sir R. PEEL and his friends were com pelled by the pressure of circumstances to concede Catholic Emancipation ; they could not help themselves, but consulting only the two parties of the boroughmongering Parliament, and excluding the Irish Ca tholics, who compelled them to grant emanci pation, they patched up a compromise. Sir R. PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON sacrificed the 40s. freeholders to their bigoted allies, and this most corrupt and scandalous bargain Sir R. PEEL in the year 1841, when the borough mongering Parliament with its authority has ceased for some years, has now the astonishing assurance to hold up to the representatives of the people, as tt complete bar to all attempts to im prove the representation of Ireland, and to doing justice to that part of the empire. The nation went through almost the perils of a revolution to put an end to the boroughmonger hag Parliament; and yet Sir R. PEEL, with the simplicity of an aged matron, who never can for get that the mature man before her was once a child, and who insists on treating him as a child, preserves his affection and reverence for that corrupt assembly, and, insists on this wiser gene ration being bound hand and foot by its scandalous bargains. Sir R. PEEL, unable to lift himself out ofthe political mire in which he has long grovelled, would make his own bargain with the Tory Lords of 1829—not the nation's bargain—the rule of our present conduct. This seems to us the historical interest of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S allusion. The moral interest is still higher. We are told to look on laws as the emanations of pure intelligence. They are described by the Tories as passionless justice. The Act of 1829 is some times spoken of as worthy of the great reputa tion of the Duke of WELLINGTON. It is de scribed as redeeming the character of Sir ROBERT PEEL from the accusation of mere routine, and stamping him a statesman. It is said to be a great act of justice, and that policy and wis dom presided at its birth. But Sir ROBERT PEEL'S description of the personal opposition it encountered from GEORGE IV.—of the bargain lie was obliged to strike with his ultra-Tory friends in the House of Peers, sacrificing the 40s. freeholders to their prejudices or the presumed safety of the Church—degrades this great law, this model of poli c y an d wis d om, to ahuckster ing, immoral bargain; in making which neither party cared a straw for justice, or even thought of what was due to it; but both sought, when they found they could no longer maintain a sys tem of gross oppression, to make as much profit as they could, preserving place and power, out of the compelled change. We never had a high opinion of Tory st a t esmen an d their motives, but Sir R. PEEL'S description, on Thursday night, of the process by which the Catholic Emancipation Act was achieved, has increased our contempt for their principles and their conduct. Coming now to the public bearings of Lord MORPETH'S Bill, we are free to confess that they were not sufficiently explained by the Ministerial party. Lord JOHN RUSSELL did, indeed, ex plicitly and plainly say that the Ministers were compelled, by Lord STANLEY'S outrageousro ceedings, to look o u t f or some test o f the fran chise; but the Ministers did not do justice to all the advantages of the rate-paying test. Saying nothing of the amount, the test itself is simple and easy of application. Those who will have to carry it into operation are neighbours or resi dents, who can at once establish both the validity of the claim and the identity of the claimant. It will depend on no act of a man's own, but on the impartial valuation of others. Perjury will be annihilated by the annihilation of oaths. They will no longer be taken. If there must be a test at all of electoral capacity, we cannot imagine one superior to being assessed to the poor-rates, which is admirable for its simplicity, and will, we hope, ere long, be universally adopted. Now, what disadvantage --what public injury —what evil to the empire will accrue from adopt , ing it? The only Tory who deliberately dis i cussed this important part of the question was Sir ROBERT PEEL; and his arguments, assuming that Si. was to be the sum, all went to prove that it would make a more extended suffrage than household suffrage—that it ,would revive a more dependent class of voters than the decried and abolished 40s. freeholders, and would swamp the independent constituency. The Ripilit Hon. Baronet quite forgot to explain how it would make a more extended class of voters than household suffrage, seeing that in Ireland there are multitudes of householders not rated to the poor, and that Lord MORPETH proposes that the householder must.be rated at 51., and must have a fourteen years' lease. But he seems to have founded the absurd assertion on an argument of Mr. THESIGER, without understandingits bearing. Mr. TH:USIGER explained that landlords might let their land at a nominal rent, with a condition that if the tenant did not perform the covenant the landlord should have a right to enter and take possession. Such a lease would be the same as a lease for years, and the result would be that the constituency might be multiplied at the plea sure of the landlords, and the independency of the constituency destroyed. That argument, founded altogether on the presumed roguery of the land lords, and their determination to set aside for their own purposes the laws they themselves make, was in an urtorturatte moment adopted by Sir R. PEEL, and after proving that the landlords, by their conduct in creating 40s. freeholders, are capable of committing any sort of legal scoun drelism, he went on to prove, for more than a quarter of an hour, that the landlords would per vert the rate-paying test to the creation of a great body of dependent voters who would be at their command. This argument, founded wholly on the presumed roguery of th e land lords, invented by the Nisi Prius lawyer, and greedily adopted by the statesman, was repeated ad nauseam to the landlords behind him, and was as much cheered by them as if he had convicted the "turbulent demo cracy" of all the vices the Tories lay to their charge. To show what the Right Hon. Baronet thinks and says of his friends the Irish land lords, and, how he expects they will pervert the law, we must quote a short passage from his speech : Let Hon. Gentlemen observe the influence operating Upon .. the landl or d s ; t h e double influence of gain and po ' power ; because it clearly appeared from the report of their own Commissioners that small holdings let at much higher rents than large ones, mad that there was greater competition fora small quantity of land than for a large quantity. There was evidence that the rent paid in the county of Armagh, when it came to the test of value by the rate, was rated at a quarter or one-fifth that being paid. This, then, was a great inducement to divide property into small holdings, the landlord gaining a great increase ; but superadded to that was another motive— , that of political influ ence . . . Was it f a i r t h at pc- I litical influence should be attached to such improper and corrupt use of land ? A man would make freeholds, who found by so doing be could exercise .groat power in the country. This measure had a tendency in an evil dire.- tion—namely, to the subdivision of the land, and to arrest the progress of improvement. The sum, then, of Sir R. PEEL'S argument, borrowed from Mr. THESIGER, t by hOugh elabo rated in his own way, an d repa id _ _frequent c heers, was, that creating the 405. /a freeholders, nd/ordsbad so they perverted the old law by making . s by fo rmore a than a gr o e l a 4 t number e o rv t. s e m r t a l t l h the e a n s e e w bo l i a d t e v i e t k t u n i o m w t s h e t in i e o u l a t o o d f l o t I r i d e depicts y h e o a ld r i s n , them. We demur not how admirably he ir g r s e . ser H vit n ig w a well powerh by their cheers, but lie of which they admitted to the character he gives of his friends, the truth the risk of making the la,ndlords less has jumped to a hasty conclusion ; a b n l d tte e k ve t n ba a n t lie has painted them, we hiswe niu in consistencies offacti point ous out opposition p t o l t on which made him guilty. When the landlords made multitudes of 40s. freeholdeN, there was no Poor-law in Ireland. They could then doom their unhappy tenants to starve at their pleasure. The Poor-law will compel them, if they multiply small holdings, to provide for the people. By now splitting their estates they will impose a heavy burden on their income, and we will answer for the Protestant landlords not now destroying their estates to create a large Roman Catholic constituency. Formerly, too, the 40s. freeholders were serfs, and they were abolished because they threw off their dependence on the landlords. The latter have profited by experience, and will not repeat the errors they committed prior to 1829. Sir ROBERT was at one momentsensible of this. He said that the Ministers had brought in the Bill to extend the franchise) Ethel then he proved by the present conduct of the landlords refusing to grant leases, that it would not extend the franchise. But that was only a momentary gleam of good sense. Mr. THESIGER domineered over him, and he went on to prove, with mar vellous inconsistency, that the landlords would grant almost innumerable leases, and make a worse constituency than the 40s. freeholders. It is now admitted on both sides that the landlords, though they will get as much profitand as much political influence under the present system, from splitting their estates, as under the rate-paying test, will not grant leases, and are exerting themselve s in every possible way to limit the franchise. To enable them effectually to do that, is the object of Lord STANLEY'S Bill ; and yet Sir ROBERT PEEL as serted—and asserted of the men who have suf fered so much from creating voters—that they will, under Lord MORPETH'S Bill, make a larger constituency than household suffrage. A more marvellously inconsistent argument we never heard, and yet that bug-a -boo was all that Sir ROBERT PEEL could object to the rate-paying test, supposing the amount to be fixed at 5/. When we heard him dwell with such elabo rate minuteness on the miseries of the 40s. free holders, in order to frighten the House, by put ting before them the idea of the Protestant land lords making a great Catholic democracy, we were forcibly reminded of the horror he excited against the Irish when the Coercion Bill was un der discussion, by disingenuously quoting a pa thetic account of a murder committed 30 years before. There was a host of dependent voters, argued Sir R. PEEL, created under the old and a totally different law by the ignorant and innocent landlords, and therefore he affirmed that the bitten and informed landlords will do the same under the new law. This was the only argument this statesman urged against a measure which is to satisfy the bulk of the Irish. Poor Sir ROBERT. He is a sorry advocate of a cause lie knows to be a bad one. His fallacies are of the head, and are trans parent. Lord STANLEY'S are of the heart, and are made consistent by his bad passions. In spite of the observation of the Standard, that " there is no living orator with whom the Right Honour able Baronet can be compared without a dispa ragement of his• merits, and that last night he excelled even himself," we must assert that he wasas much overtopped by the thorough-going Lord STANLEY and even by the bigoted and heavy GRAHAM, as he himself overtopped Mr. MILNE or Mr. GA sxu.L. To oratory, sense and consistency are necessary as well as sound and manner; but Sir R. PEEL'S speech, though it told well on his Tory claquers, was remarkably deficient in sense and full of inconsistency. Re membering his eulogium last year on manufac turers, and looking at his bitter satire on Thurs day evening against the landlords, we must con clude that Sir ROBERT'S reign as the political chief of the Tory landlords is at an end. It is quite right that foe people of England should be continually reminded that the authors of the accursed Bread-tax, the landlords of Eng land and Ireland, are the persons who especially seek to narrow and destroy the franchise in Ire land. Lord STANLEY has avowed this, and Mr. SHELL pointed it out in the debate, and was not contradicted. From the same class of men, then, the English receive starvation and the Irish sla very. In this we see an ample reason why the people of England should make common cause with the Irish, as they are doing at Manchester, Liverpool, and other populous places, in resisting the meditated aggression of Lord STANLEY, and in supporting the measure of defence proposed by Lord MORPETH. No man who has looked at passing events in Ireland, who has heard of the cruel manner in which the suffering and patient people have been rooted out from the homes of their fathers, and who knows that the great mass are reduced to the very lowest state of social existence, can be at all surprised at the great desire of the Irish landlords to control and usurp the franchise. The preservation of their ruinous power, and the ex istence of the least particle of freedoni, are thoroughly inco m p a tibl e . Th ey must put it down, extinguish it, trample it out, or it will rise up in judgment against them, and shove them from their stools. They never knew any of the kindly ties which did once fill the rustic population ofEngland with love and respect for the landowners. Of a different religion from the people, they have long been nothing but oppressors, and the people no better than slaves. The least portion of freedom would help the latter out of this condition, and the Irish la n dl or d s perettually try to crush it as it grows, in order to prevent it stifling their ruin.- ous power. The English landlords are, we admit, very bad, quite bad enough; but there being no differ ence of religion here to exasperate the great feud between industry plunged in poverty, and idleness lapped in wealth, and maintaining power by injustice, they do not appear so very bad as the landowners of Ireland. We therefbre are surprised that they should, by making common cause with the most useless class of men in existence, not to say the most mischievous--for we believe they are surpassed by the endowed priesthood—in inflicting injuries and insults on the Irish degrade themselves still more in public esteem, and hasten their own ex tinction. But they are not sensible, we are afraid, of the state of public opinion, or they would be more anxious to make reparation, and, if possi bib, win back lost esteem than to add by outrages on Ireland to the distate with which they are re garded. Let us therefore remind them that for many months this Journal has habitually described the bread -taxers as no better than robbers and mur derers, and has repeatedly brought overwhelming evidence to prove that they largely plunder and cruelly starve the people out of existence. Now these accusations and this language have been repeated again and again at most of the Anti- Corn-law meetings, and in most of the Anti-Corn law journals of the empire. They have made— unanswered and unrefuted as they have been, though not unnoticed—a very deep impression on the public, and the bread -taxing landlords are now generally described as plunderers and murderers by means of law. To suppose that sentiments corresponding to those words have not grown up, and that words have lost their in fluence, is contradicted by all experience, and the landlords have accordingly become objects of public contempt and hatred, We will place before our readers two distinct proofs of this : Mr. MARSHALL, in his celebrated letter to Earl FITZWILLIAM, which Sir JAMES GRAHAM quoted on Tuesday night in the House of Commons, after referring to " the desti tute condition of both agricultural and manufac turing labourers," "reduced to the verge of death by hunger," after declaring that " the laws deprive the people of food," after affirming that all this sad misery is of "man's ordinance and contriving," adds, " I have not space to depict one-tenth part of the misery that THE CRUEL LAWS OF OUR ARISTOCRACY heap upon our people." Who, then, is Mr. MARSHALL, so speaking of the cruel laws of the aristocracy? An opulent man, an aristocrat himself in his own way. One of that class whose highest ambition it is to be trans planted into the ranks of the landed aristocracy ; but he cannot shut his eyes to the painful con viction of their misdeeds, and he publicly brands them as the authors of the destitution, starva tion, and misery of the people. Again, we have lying before us " A Letter to the Duke of W e lli ngton, by a Porfarshire Merchant," printed at Arbroath, in the eastern part of Scotland (a letter, be it said by the way, which is excellent, and we regret that want of space has hitherto prevented us from noticing it), and this letter, which is a well reasoned pro duction, highly and deservedly complimentary to the Duke of WELLINGTON, has passages like these : Squalid poverty, no longer confined to the merely dissolute, is now almost universal amongst the working classes through out the manufacturing districts. It is idle, in such circum stances —nay worse, it is madness—to think of stifling the cry for bread by rhetorical flourishes and lordly sneers. Either the Corn-laws must be abolished, or my Lord of Buckingham in the one House, and the pious Mr. Gladstone in the other , gtoowth,evgroaisluenydatldanDchoensdteez Birmingham aod e oosign i a o n g d t L o e t e h d e s , d a e n e d p Gl seaa cg-s must obtain th e sanction of the Legislature to a Bill for razing our principal maritime towns. jßut, without the interference of your Grace, this act of ustice may be procrastinated—procrastinated till questions may arise, not am ongst t h e common people only, but amongst the educated, the cal m , th e prudent middle clas;es • questions which would not merely em b race the right of a giv en number of individuals to confer exclusive privileges on their 'own class , but would extend to the still more dangerous inquiry —u or what tenure land itself was held ?--thus suggesting ideas sub thus of the whole social edifice, and calculated to .peril the Constitution itself. One, certainly, of the proximate causeP of the French Revolution, was the immunities and privileges enjoyed by the Noblesse. Look to the Corn-law s , the Sugar, the Coffee, the Timber-laws ; look, i n s h ort, to the whole of our table of Import Duties, and say if i t h ave not been indus triously framed to protect the landowner, at the expense of the rest of the community . of internatio n al existence, for so long a period, of such a monstrous ss to that ser vile worship of every man t r !*o owned a f ew acr es of land—which, at one t i me, was so leaningtern toaristocracy—to e — . a can only b e ascr ib ed to th at policy as ours, Wiking & peculiarity of et nos mutamur in illis !" 61 T em p ora mutantur, Lord and laird are estimated no the national character; but The illusion is vanished.

The next general elestion will seal the fate of the whole band of oppressors. " So comes the reckoning, when the banquet's o'er— The dreadful reckoning—and men smile no more !" Now, when such sentiments, uttered by a For farshire Merchant, writing from nearly the extre mity of Scotland, are to be traced through the length andbreadth of the land, tis idle folly in the landowners to suppose that they can any longer carry things with a high hand. Nor would they persist in so doing were they not gross ly i gnoran t of the great change which has taken place in the feelings and opinions of their countrymen. Above all, they would not, under the guidance of such a petulant piece of clay as Lord STAN LEY, who changes his opinions with his party, burden themselves with the additional odium which belongs to the landlords of Ireland. Unhappily they labour under the worst errors of conceit. They believe it is wisdom to have an overweening confidencg in their own order, and distrust for every other class of men. They act on what is called principle, or on a political theory—the theory of the Tories—when they disregard the multitude, and tell us, through their helps of the Press, the Post, Herald, Standard, and Times, that the many are to be trampled on, their wishes to be despised, their opinions laughed at, and their feel ings made the object of aristocratic scorn. Fatal delusion ! As surely as " the heart leaps kindly back to kindness," so surely does distrust excite distrust, and hatred, h a t re d. B ut w i thout the confidence of the people the aristocracy is nothing. Its power is based on their trusting disposition. The veneration of the multitude is the very soul of its existence, and to proclaim aloud distrust of the people is to break the neck of their own importance. It was not so their ancestors either gained or preserved their station. They were adored by the followers who achieved their greatness. We will not, however, yet be lieve that the gentlemen of England are com pletely mad, and resolved on self-destruction. There is still an opportunity to save themselves. Let them throw overboard their apostate guides, the Belials and Mephistopheles, the alien ene mies and the scorners of the multitude, whom they have unhappily placed at their head; let them return to :their ancient faith in the people and do them jusike, so shall their days be long in the land, and so shall they again reign in the hearts and affections of the people. In the French Chamber of Deputies - on Thurs day the anxiously expected debate on the Secret Service Bill was opened by M. MARION, a mem ber of the Opposition. He opposed the Bill, and denounced in strong terms the Report of M. JouFrnov, upon which it was founded. M. de CARNE followed in support of the Bill. M. PORTAL'S wished to know if the Cabinet had adopted the statements made in the Report. M. GUIZOT said that when the Ministry accepted office it was agreed with itself upon all questions then before it, and that nothing had occurred since to disturb its harmony or affect its stability. The very acceptance of office could leave no doubt upon the mind of any person that the present Cabinet disapproved of the policy of its predecessor, and this was the substance of the Report of the Commission upon the Bill before the Chamber. M. BILLAUT attacked the present Ministers, whom he accused of succumbing to the enemies of France. This called up the Mi nister of the Interior, who was ably defending his colleagues in the tribune when the mails de parted for London. The passing of the Secret Service Bill will de termine the fate of the French Ministry. If carried by a large majority, TRIERS sinks with scarce a hope of ever rising again. As the Bill is founded upon a Report which- unsparingly de noun2es his whole policy as domestically and in ternationally ruinous and humiliating to France, its adoption will be tantamount to a verdict of guilty against the TRIERS Administration, or, as the, French themselves call it, the Cabinet of the Ist of March. TRIERS himself is said to be furi ous. To be thus knocked on the head after his sacrifice of the freedom of France to the Court, in the support which he gave to the Fortifications Bill, certainly promises to form a no pleasant reminiscence for the old age of the little would he disturber of the peace of Europe ! On the arrival of Senor ANTONIO GONZALES in Paris, on his way to London, M. GUIZOT sent to request an interview with him. The Spanish Envoy, however, declined seeing the French Mi nister, on the plea of extreme fatigue. The Memorandum of the Four Powers which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, is published in the French Papers of Thursday, with hardly a word of comment. (Private Correspondence of the Conatifittfonnet,) BERNE, FEB. 23,—The teat Council of Berne w hi c h m e t to-day heard the R e p or t othe Executive Council on the events which have lately taken place in the Cantons of Soleuro and Argovia. The facts that are stated in this Report are generally known, but not so the motives which have induced the Government to adopt a line of conduct which has excited such violent opposition from the Cantons which have de manded the convocation of a diet. The Report con'ains ex planations on this subject, from which we shall make on a future occasion some extracts. SLAVEAT.—It is affirmed that a deputy will shortly call the attention of the Chamber to the abominable details disclosed in the late trial at Guadalupe. It is intended to require at least the suppression, in all the houses, of those dungeons of which the planters speak with such wonderful serenity—those dun geons in which the slave has neither air, nor light, nor bread, nor room to stand upright. We shall most gladly support the demand which will be made in the Chamber, but the trial in question, and the acquittal in which it terminated, have excited the sympathy of all honourable minds in too great a degree for the duties of the Legislature to stop at that point. A letter from Toulon of the 21st Feb. says : " Admiral Hugon received yesterday a telegraphic des patch from Paris, relative to the new organization of the feet. It is thought that a division will be sent to • the Levant, whence it might be supposed that the Government is going to take a part in the arrangements in Syria. The Didon is ready . to put to sea at the first signal. The Jena is expected in a few days from Cagliari. " Admiral Alassieu de Clerval is expected shortly. It is not known whether he is coming as Major-General of the squadron or to command a division. " Two new steamers of 160 to 180 horse-power are going to be built here for the conveyance of the mails to the Levant." --Lc Commerce.

By 8 (Meek Mho up with and found her to be a Japanese or Chinese junk, dismasted, and in a totally disabled state. The %reek was heading to the Iskrth, with thtce poles up, on which Were bent some old bits of canvass, having been dismasted and lost all her sails, Saw three persons on board of het, who made signs by dropping on their knees, and with uplifted hands praying to be taken oft, The weather being mild, with light winds and smooth sea, I here to ald dropped down alongside t f her. The three persens hove all their baggage on board of us ( whit') they had already packed ready for leaving the wriielc) i and they jumped on board the Argyle thcmselver. As we could not tinderdetud a word from them, and as they appeared perCectly reconciled to leave their junk to Ler fate, I thought it advisable to Le ipatch a boat to her, and exathifie if there was anything va'uablt which might be saved, and to note the condi ion of the wreck, as also to obtain any provisions she might have on beard. She Was found to be st Complete wreck, her masts had b. en carried away by the deck, her rudder entirely gone, her :lull strapped round and round with ropes to keep her from bursting i in fact, being perfectly unmanageable. She was about SO font burden, with a part of hot eArgo of riee4 in bags ; the greater past of which was wet and spoiled: We found nothing else on board of her, ave a few articles belonging to the men, They had about 40 gallor.s of rain water on board; no food, except the rice .nd a few decayed pieces of fish (shark). We took from her few baga of the best rife, a few pieces of rope, and seeing nothing else worth saving, recalled the boat, and left the junk to her fate, The wreck was covered with barnacles, Jr clams; frum twu ty fir; inches' in length.

PLYMOUTH BREAKWATER AND LIGHTHOUSE. (From the Plymouth Herald.) (3d Monday' last, the 22d instant, the first stone of the Lighthouse About to be erected upon the western extremity of the Plymouth Breakwater, was laid by Admiral Warren, the worthy Superintendent of the Plymouth Dock-yard. The hour fixed for this interesting ceremony was twelve o'clock, but an unavoidable delay occurred owing to a dense log, which p: evailed throughout the day, and prevented Admiral Warren reaching the Breidtwater until nearly three o'clock in the af ternoon, although he had embarked in his yacht at eleven o'clock in the Morning. At *boot three o'clock the Admiral having arrived at the BreakwatoG landed near the centre of the work, accompa nied by Mrs. and Miss Warren, Captain Warren, R.N., A. Lumsdale, Esq., Master Attendant of the Dock-yard, and other official personages, Mr. Stuart, the zealous and highly respected Superintendent Engineer of the Breakwater, being in attendance to receivethem. On their landing the usual flag wos hoisted, and the necessary preparations were made for the obsertatiees of the ceremony. These having 'been completed about half-post three, Admiral Warren and party, and many of the inhabitant§of Plymouth, Devonport, &c., who had been waiting upon the Breakwater to witness the ceremony, as sembled around the site of the intended Lighthouse, as well as OW workmen employed on the Breakwater, upwards of seventy in number, Upon reaching this part of the work, we ob served the block of granite, intended for the first stone of th e Lighthouse, suspended by two levers, And a chain from a Der rick crane. WILLIAM STUART, Esq., then spoke to the following effect: —Ladies and Gentlemen, you are all no doubt aware of the object which has assembled us here to-day, but as many of you ma) not be acquainted with the nature of the Lighthouse, the first stone of which is now to be laid, I will, with your permis sion, briefly explain it. Before, however. I do so, 1 would make a few observations upon the subject of the Breakwater itself, The present Breakwater was planned so long since as the 21st April,. 1806, and its construction commenced on the 12th August, 1812. Never shall I forget the interesting ceremony observed on that occasion. Upwards of 28 years have since elapsed, and you can all see the progress which has been made during that period. We have deposited 3,362,727 tons of stone, and the whole outlay upon the Breakwater has not exceeded 1,200,0001. Many have been the difficulties we have 11.14 to encounter in the progress of this great national work ; and when I remember this fact it is with no small degree of pleasure that I meet you here to-day. I ought not to omit stating that the country is greatly indebted to the Ad miralty for the never ceasing interest which they have evinced towards the Breakwater. It may be said to have originated with their Lordships, and though frequent changes neces sarily have taken place from time to time in the Board of Ad miralty, the Breakwater has always received a large share of their Lordships' attention. The plan of the Lighthouse was made by Messrs. Walker and Burgess, engineers, in the month of July, 1840, and having been submitted to the Admiralty, shortly after received their Lordships' approval, when directions were given for its immediate construction. The Lighthouse, the plan of which I hold in my hand—( Here the plan was handed to the Admiral)—is to be of granite, 14 feet diameter in the "tear, and the centre of the light 55 feet from the top of the --ter. The Lighthouse will be divided into floors, form llreakw. • a dwelling-room, a bed-room, and a watch ing a store-r 00... • be 12 feet wide, and 7 feet 6 inches room. The lantern , fixed light, of the second order, high ; to show a dioptr, show a red light, to distinguish with mirrors; the south halt ti. -'h side towards the Sound it from the coast l'ghts, and the No.._ —se have requested is to be white. Messrs. Walker and Burg, 'unal engage me to say they much regret that their o. her profess.- - have, merits prevent their attendance here to-day. They : . 4 however, rent me a sum of 10/., with a request that I wou,„. distribute it among the workmen. I have now been engaged 30 years upon the Breakwater, and it will be indeed a source - • , eteeaticl t 9 ants should I be spared long enough to of, gr eat gra.! wititess its compktion, pernenti to form the bed for the s t o ne, was then made ; after which Mr. STUART (lasi - eking Admiral Warren) said, I now beg to hand you, Sir, one of the implements necessary to enable you to perform that act which you have so kindly undertaken. May Almighty God prosper the work. Admiral WARREN, having received the trowel, proceeded to spread the cement, after which the stone was lowered upon its not: ~ the Surrintenclent's Assistant, then handed a level to the Admira:; 4 , 1' which Air.

As an inhabitant of a rit , ri l e bonring town, and as your personal friend, I rejoice in '. commencement of this erection. The Plymouth Breab,l,. water is indeed a national undertaking, whether considere d ref. —.nee to the amount of physical strength expended--oe th amount of wealth employed in its erection, and not only Ils: fleets credit on the hearts and head; of the men who pistoled ni n and on the Admiralty who have so nobly patronized it, bet o. this great nation to whom it belongs and it may be jus re. garded as indicative of our national ' wealth, maritime ente t r .. r prise, and superior, skill.—( Hear, hear.) The Breaknat being thus far completed, the erection of this Lighthouse is in" dispensable to the whole design, and especially d em anded as a work of benevolence to warn the mariver, as he approaches our shores, of that noble contrivance which, intended to tr: mote his safety, would, in his ignorance of its exact 10; 0 ' become etahe occasion of shipwreck and ruin. The workman; ' ship wee before us is evidently of a superior order, ai'. I hope the erection of this building, begun: under su° n , auspicious circumstances, will advance steadily to completion. It must be, Sir, a day of high satisfaction to you , • connected as you have been with the Breakwater from its com mencement, to see it thus far advanced, and to be now ;de n ; . fullythat th re e ai w ise is d h ; tified with the interesting ceremonial of this morning. 111 m" have indirectly given utterance to w De. thet your valuable life will be spared to you! , family, your friends, S and to society, for many years ; and t h at you will live to witnes>: the completion of the work_this da y begun. I conclude these brief remarks, for the utteranc. _ which I ought to apologise, by proposing three cheers for th e Gallant Admiral.
