FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING OF Arc. M. Dupin in the chair. Messieurs Moreau, Reybaud, and Charles, previously ad mitted, took the oath." The- President read a letter from .M. Lapinsonnkre, apolo gizing' for his absence from the Chamber ; also a letter of re signation from M. Olivier (department of Mayenne.) The Minister for Foreign Affairs, at the desire of the spe cial committee on the address, laid on the table a certain treaty recently concluded, and referred to in the speech from the throne. The order of the day was the sequel of the verification of the qualifications of the Deputies. The admission of Vice-Admiral Grivel, named for the town ship of Rochfort (Lower Charente,) was opposed principally in the absence of sufficient proof of his payment of the rate constituting ele,gibility.—Election annulled; Admitted—Messrs. Las Cases, jun., Blaque-Belair. The President reminded the Chamber that the department of the Loire Inferieure had named four deputies not resident in the department, Messrs. Dubois, J. Laffitte, Robineaux, and Odillon Barrot ; the department had not in reality the right to name more than three. Consequently, the question as to the deputy who was to retire must be decided by lot. M. Leroi Myon considered the proposal premature.—Left speaking. (From the French papers of Monday.) On Saturday, at the opening of the Stock Exchange, nume• rous sentinels filled all the avenues to the Tribunal of Com merce, and a violent tumult ensued, the disappointed fe male speculators uttering loud and piercing cries against the arbitrariness of the proceeding which excluded them, and which would not suffer even unmarried and independent women to carry on their business. The keepers and soldiers, however, were unmoved, and at length succeeded in excluding the ladies from the galleries, and thus they were compelled to take their station on the staircase and under the grand portico. All the officers wh o h a d s i x mon th s ' leave of absence have orders to join their respective corps without delay, and the pub lic conveyances have, for the last two days, been filled with the military returning to their regiments. The Indicateur of Bordeaux, of the Bth inst., has the fol lowing of the 6th from Bayonne :—" The Carlist party has circulated great numbers of a Spanish bulletin relative to the action of the Ist. According to this faction, the combat was merely an affair of advanced posts, in which Zumalacarreguy had only four killed and 20 wounded. On the other hand, they would make us believe that Rodil had 250 killed and 500 or 600 wounded. It is, of course, impossible to give credit to such a production." The Sentinelle des Pyrages of Bayonne of the 7th instant states, after letters from Madrid, that the prisons are not suf ficiently large to contain the number of prisoners which are sent into them. Every day new arrests take place. Many of the persons recently arrested for the alleged conspiracy to pro claim the Constitution of 1812 have been liberated. The Captain-General of the province has published an ordinagpe, by which Madrid is divided into four military districts, com manded by Major-Generals. It adds—." We learn from Aldudes, under date of the 2d, that the young men of Bastan, Anea, Estiribar, Euro, Ahescoa, and other neighbouring vallies, refuse to take arms in favour of Don Carlos. The Junta does not think it prudent to resort to compulsion, lest they should take refuge in the French territory. Since the arrival of this Prince, the inhabitants of the banks of the rivers have alone entered into his service with good grace. More over, the new Carlist recruits are absolutely in want of muskets. Those that we see pass and repass by hundreds over the mountains of this commune, on their route to Bastan from the Val d'Erro, are only armed with sticks and pikes. Don Carlos keeps himself close upon the banks of the Bidassoa ; he is sometimes at Elisondo, sometimes at San Esteban, or at Lesaca. It is reported that Rodil is about to make an excursion, for the purpose of burning all the corn mills in the countries occupied by the insurgents, in order to deprive them of the means of subsistence." We have received by express the Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 9th inst., which says—" The news from the frontier continues to represent the affairs of the Carlist faction as irre parably lost. The bulletin of Zumalacarreguy, relative to the engagement of the Ist, can deceive nobody. How, in fact, can we imagine that rebels, saluted by a deluge of balls, lost but four men, especially as we have the avowal that the insurgent battalions were forced, for want of ammunition, to retire to the heights? We presume that Rodil would scarcely permit them to reach that part with armes au bras. What, moreover, proves that the check experienced by the insurgents has been consi derable is, that Zumalacarreguy, who had retreated to the moun tains, had not again ventured to go abroad. Don Carlos was seen on the 6th in the city of Lanz, ten minutes' walk from the neutral ground, where the French and Spanish shepherds are in daily conflict concerning the pasturage of their respective cattle. A sixth battalion of Carlist recruits has been formed in the valley, where it is supposed the Pretender, by his pre sence, has rekindled the zeal of these poor creatures, who fight for interests which assuredly are n o t th e i r own. Both land and sea troops have been sent to Cape Breton to oppose a landing of arms, which is expected from Dutch ships. The coast is guarded with unexampled severity. In the mountain ous part, the least pass is occupied by advanced posts ; every smuggler is arrested ; the known partisans of Don Carlos are watched ; hence the French Deputy-Mayor of Sare has bgen dismissed for having assisted to introduce into Spain a convoy of horses for Don Carlos. It is said legal proceedings will be instituted against him ; and that M. Detroyat, the post master, who knowingly supplied horses to the Pretender on his passage from Bayonne to the valley of Bastan, has been deprived of his licence." The following are further particulars of the sitting of the Chamber of Procuradores at Madrid on the 3d inst., when it commenced its debate upon the address in answer to the speech from the throne. The address having been read by one of the Secretaries, M. Lopez, the member of the Committee by whom it was drawn up, stated4be arguments and grounds upon which it was framed. M. Medrano, the Vice-President, having analysed the address, paragraph by paragraph, declared that not one of them expressed the real sentiments of the assembly, and moved that it be rejected in toto. M. Lopez spoke in reply. The Count de Toreno next rose, and opposed the paragraphs one by one. He pro tested with great warmth a ga i ns t t h e ep i thet applied to the existing legislation, and highly blamed the indifference with which the events of July 17 and 18 were treated. He then endeavoured to convin ce th e assem bl y that the state of the nation was not so di sas t rous as i t was represented by the com mittee, and added, that without intending to justify, the late Government, it was impossible not to admit that towards its e!ose many useful things were done, of which the country was then gathering the fruits. He then attempted to poTtout the dangers which would a r i se fro m an immedi a te unlimited freedom of the press, as demanded by the address of the com mittee, and also combatted, as ill-timed, the greater part of the other innovations proposed by the committee, and parti cularly- the introduction of the trial by jury. He dwelt a long time on the question of the responsibility of Ministers, main taining that they could only be impeached for the crimes of high treason and peculation, and concluded by reflecting generally on the want of consistency and fitness in the address proposed. M. Lopez again spoke in reply, but without making any essential addition to his former arguments. M. Martinez de la Rosa next addressed the Chamber, and commenced by blaming the general tendency of the address. He spoke with marked indignation against the coldness of the paragraph relative to the attempts of the 17th of July, and afterwards went with great length into what had passed in Portugal relative to Don Carlos, when Don Miguel and his army capitul a t e d , an d expla i ned the political conduct on this occasion. After having criticised the matter as well as the style of the address, he entered into more profound argu ment, and . concurred with M. d e T oreno as to the evils which might arise from an unrestrained liberty of the press, and concluded by pointing out the dangers of too sudden in novations. M. Diez Gonzales, a priest of the diocess of Leon, and a member of the committee, replied to M. Martinez de la Rosa with great vehemence. The Marquis de Falces, late Corre gidor of Madrid, attacked the address both as illegal and in consistent, and as being in no degree an answer to the speech from the throne. He then went into a long digression re specting the affair of July 17 and 18, the main object of which, however, was to justify himself. M. Giraldi, who was President of the Cortes in 1820, endeavoured to justify the paragraph in which the committee imputes to the system of clemency and impunity followed by the Mi nistry the prolongation of the civil war, and called upon it to declare whether Don Carlos was or was not at the head of the rebels. M. Martinez de la Rosa, after having explained all that the Government had done to stifle revolt, avoided answer ing the question relative to the arrival of Don Carlos in Na varre, by stating that government never published any facts but those of which it had positive evidence, and that with re gard to Don Carlos, a great degree of uncertainty still existed. He added, however, that whether the fact of his presence was true or false, it could make no difference in the measures to be taken by the Government, which would do all in its power to contribute to the repose of the nation and the stability of the throne. At the conclusion of this speech the Chamber ad journed to the following day. The Vorort of Switzerland, by a circular of the 16th of December, recommended the several states to take into their serious consideration a revision of the federal compact of 1815, and furnish their deputations with necessary instructions on the subject. The Vorort at the same time pointed out se veral modes of making this revision, submitting to the choice of the States either a constituent assembly, a free confer ence, or the ordinary proceeding of the Diet, by instructions given to the deputies of the twenty-two cantons. At the sit ting of the Diet on the sth inst. the constituent assembly had in its favour four States and a half —namely, Berne, Thur gau, Argau, Zurich, and Basle country ; the conference had nine votes, with the addition of Thurgau, which would con sent to it on condition that the result should be submitted to the approbation of the people at large ; the revision by the Diet-had also nine votes, with the addition of St. Gall, which assented on condition that the proportionate number of the re presentation should form the basis of its labours. The Vorort had also proposed that the States should decide whether the revision should be partial or total, and as none of the proposi tions had obtained a majority of the States, the Vorort decided that it would be better to limit the compact to a partial and suc cessive revision ; and in its last circular proposed to the States to instruct their representatives to enter upon the subject of that part of the compact which relates to the defence of the country, the organization of the Swiss army, and an amelioration of the system of pay. During this time several States had changed their instructions ; some who had insisted upon a constituent assembly retracted that resolution, and the deputies now pre sented themselves with instructions only to vote for it in case of failure of the other modes. • Berne was no longer supported by Thurgau and Basle Count 4. Berne, however, still warmly maintained the constituent assembly, and its representative, M. Tocharner, declared that his canton would oppose by force the introduction by any other means of any essential change in the compact, nor would it allow that States having but small populations and minor interests should paralyze the endeavours of the larger States, having five and six times the interest of the smaller. The constituent assembly had strong opponents in the deputies of Glaris, Friburg, Soleure, the Grisons, Vaud, and Geneva. The small cantons replied that Berne and the larger cantons would dictate the law to them, but that they entered the Confederation as free States, and were determined to maintain their individuality. The cantons of Uri, Schwytz, Unterwald, Basle Town, Tessin, Valais, and Neufchatel, were opposed to any revision of the compact. The discussion closed with the nomination of a grand committee, commed of a deputy from each canton but those of Berne, Basle Country, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwald, Tessin, and Valais refused to take any part in it. This com mittee is to inquire whether the revision should be partial or total, and its conclusions are to be discussed by the Diet now assembled. The Augsburg Gazette of the 7th inst. has the following from Vienna, of the 31st ult. :—" Letters from Constantinople positively affirm that the English fleet has sailed for Candia, but as official intelligence of the fact has not been received, it requires confirmation. Our mercantile world is anxiously concerned to know whether the French Government will or will not interfere in favour of Donna Isabella. The uncertainty which prevails on this subject damps all our commercial opera tions. In Paris nothing is yet determined, and a disposition to wait the course of events seems to exist, and if we reflect a moment on the independent character of the Peninsular war, we can hardly perceive grounds for tire formal interference of France in the domestic affairs of Spain. Were this inter vention to be attempted, it would probably lead to a union of the now conflicting parties in opposition to the arrogant pretensions of the French nation. Such is the view of the question generally entertained here, and it appears to us to be correct. The Swiss have already given the lie to the French Government, when it claimed the right of protec tion over their republic. Since the memorable war of inter vention in Belgium, a strong feeling of independence has been aroused in every nation. It will, therefore, not be so ready to grasp the sword for the solution of every question that may arise. This feeling of independence begins even to pervade Belgium, as yet scarcely numbered among the nations. Nay, our headstrong demagogues would deem it dishonourable to the German name to be indebted to foreign influence for the triumph of their fanatical ideas. To the Spanish people French interference could not be otherwise than offensive. This country has already experienced how the French sabre re spects whatever is sacred and dear to a people. The exiled Spaniard has only to visit the picture-gallery of Marshal Soult to see what they have to expect from French Pro consuls." The Gazette quotes the Funds at Vienna on the itd —5 per Cent. Metallics, 97 7-10 ; 4 per Cents., ditto, 871 ; Bank Actions, 1,226. The Pluremburg Correspondent has the following from Deux Ponts :—" The Commission charged to examine the French journals previous to their distribution, has come to the resolu tion of prohibiting them all, so that for the last week wehave not had a single French paper. Such of the inhabitants of Deux Ponts as were accustomed to read them, are indignant at this measure, and several French families have in conse quence of it quitted the town." Letters from Tuscany announce that the Grand Duke has determined to exempt the city and port of Leghorn from all custom duties, which will be of incalculable benefit to the in habitants. The Suabian Mercury says—" We have just received in telligence from Greece announcing that perfect tranquillity prevails in that country, even in the province of Maina. The statement that the loss of the Royal troops in their expedition against the Mainot insurgents was 80 men is incorrect. Their loss was only 20 men." M. Genty, Civil Intendant of Algiers, has published the following notice in the Moniteur Algerien :—" The cultiva tion of indigo has completely succeeded in Algiers. An ex periment in making at the Government garden, at the begin ning of June last, produced the following results :—Upon a surface of four square metres we had four cubic metres of leaves, which, after being dressed gave six ounces of fecula. This quantity exceeds that obtained in Bengal, and would have been still greater if we had been provided with all the ne cessary utensils. The plant does not rise to the same height as that of India, but it is equally strong ; and a distinguished inhabitant of this colony, M. Elie Petit, who lived for several years in that country, and who directed the process, affirms that the indigo of Algiers contains much more colouring mat ter. We are as much favoured as Hindostan, and shall have three gatherings a-year, whilst in general in the lower parts of Bengal they can only rely upon one. A specimen of the in digo procured has been sent to the President of the Council." We learn from Toulon that the squadron, which left that port on the 4th instant, did not continue its route, notwith standing a favourable wind. It cast anchor off the Islands of Hieres, four leagues and a half from Toulon. There it will take in the seamen who have been left behind, and whom the Bellona will convey to it. t,... a_ 4 *. PROTEST OF DON MIGUEL. " In consequence of the events which compelled me to leave my dominions of Portugal and abandon for a while the exercise of my power, the honour of my person, the interest of my faithful subjects, and finally every motive of justice and decorum require of me to protest, as I hereby do in the face of all Europe, with regard to the above events, and against any innovation whatsoever, which the Government, now exist ing in Lisbon, shall have introduced, or should hereafter in troduce, contrary to the fundamental laws of the kingdom. " From the above expose it may be inferred that my ac quiescing in all the stipulations imposed upon me by the pre ponderating forces confided to the Generals of the two Go vernments now existing in Madrid and Lisbon, in accord with two great Powers, was a mere provisional act on my part, for the purpose of saving my subjects in Portugal from misfor tunes, which the just resistance I might have made would not have spared them, having been surprised by an unexpect e d said unwarranted attack from a friendly and allied Power. " By those motives I had firmly resolved, as soon as it should be in my power (as it behoved my honour and my duty) to make known to all the Powers of Europe the injustice of the aggression directed against my rights and person, to pro test and declare, as I hereby protest and declare, now that I am at liberty, against the capitulation of the 26th of May last, which was proposed to me by the Government now existing in Lisbon, an act which I was obliged to sign in order to pre vent greater misfortunes, and spare the blood of my faithful subjects. This capitulation must consequently be considered as null and void. " Genoa, June 20, 1834. "—Gazette de France, Aug. 12. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pants, Ave. 11.

TIIE IRISH TITHE BlLL.— = Several Peers, staunch supporters of the Government, came to the Metropolis express from their respective seats in various parts of the country, to be present at the debate. Among these were the Earl of Darnley, who arrived from Cobham Hall ; Earl of Cork, from Leamington Spa ; Lord Saye and Sele, from the Belvidere ; Lord King, from Ockham Park ; Earl of Chichester, from Stanmore Park. The proxies of five Ministers at Foreign Courts—namely, the Earls of Granville and Minto, Lords Howard de Walden, Ponsonby of Imokilly, and Erskine, were given in favour of the second reading, as well as that of the Marquis of Sligo, Baron Monteagle, the Governor of Jamaica. Lord Hill, the General commanding in chief, who generally is neutral on these occasions, voted with Ministers. Viscount Melbourne held Earl Grey's proxy.—Morning Paper. The Marquis of Clanricarde and family took their departure for Antwerp this morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's packet Attwood. The General Steam Navigation Company's packets, plying between Ramsgate, Margate, and London, continue to increase in public favour. The admirable skill with which those vessels are managed, the excellent accommodation they afford, and the strict regard which is paid, upon all occasions, to the comfort and convenience of passengers, render them a truly delightful mode of conveyance at this season of the year. It is impossible to take a trip, whether long or short, in any of the vessels belonging to this Company, without being struck with the excellence of the arrangements. Good fare, on rea sonable terms, are amongst the advantages they present; for the comforts and even the luxuries of the tavern are not omit ted. We need scarcely add that expedition is another of the characteristics. Who doubts the velocity of steam ? Upon the whole, for security and comfort, and, we may say, elegance of accommodation, we have seen nothing to surpass the ar rangements of this Company. ORANGE PROCESSIONS.—At the Down Assizes, on Thursday, seventy-nine Orangemen were arraigned for assembling and marching in procession on the 12th ult., and as they all s u bmitted, they were fined in sums varying from 20s. to ss. ea c h. On the following day, eight other Orange men were indicted for a similar offence, and pleaded guilty ; but, as th e i r con d uct h a d b een ver y r iotous and insulting, and as some o f t h em h a d come to C our t s houtin g a nd cheering, i- and calling ou t, "T o h e ll w i t h . the Pope 1" they were sen tenced to b e i mpr i soned for a f ortn i g h t , i n addition to a fine of twenty shillings each. At the Cork Assizes, on Thursday, seven of the B an d on Orangemen were i n di cte d f or appearing in arms on the Ist of July, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary o f th e b att l e of the Boyne ; but on t h e i r sub mission the defendants were discharged. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—O n Sunday night, about half-past ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Cain, grocer, 5, Fox-lane, Shadwell, which spread with such rapidity that the greatest a l arm was excited in the neighbour hood, being a very populous one, for some hours. So rapid was the spread of the flames that before the arrival of the New London Fire Establishment engines, with upwards of thirty firemen, from Wellclose-square, Princes -square, Watling street, and various other stations, Mr. Cain's premises and stock were reduced to a heap of ruins. The greatest praise is due to the firemen and police for their able services, and also for the valuable assistance received from the floating fire en gine. The premises of Mr. Courtney, No. 4, Fox-la ne , are considerably damaged, and also the F ox public-house, ad joining. There was a plentiful supply of water, an d t h e pro perty destroyed is insu re d i n the Sun Fire-office. Fortunately no personal injury has been sustained, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1834. We have received Paris Papers of yesterday, Zvi intelligence from Madrid, dated the sth inst. The French Journals are particularly worthy of notice, as they contain the address submitted to the Chambers, in answer to the KING'S speech, with the debate thereon in the Chamber of peers on the 9th inst. The address is as wordy, as full of complimentary allusions to the wisdom of the Sovereign, and as eva sive in language and the recommendation of any fixed line of policy, as the most absolute Monarch in Europe might desire. It is a mere echo of the speech from the throne, with all the pompous verbosity and mysticism of a sybil's prophecy in blank verse. The quadruple treaty is praised, the King's close al liance with England is eulogized, the war in Spain is deplored, the improved aspect of eastern affairs is glo ried in, precisely in the same way, and nearly in the sam words in which they were in the speech from the Throne—but nothing is said about the course which Ministers ought to adopt for the purpose of diminishing the subjects of regret, and rendering permanent the pleasures arising from prosperity and friendly alliance with other states. M. DE BREZE op posed the address with great vehemence. He argued that the pledges given by the Government, to the people, after the revolution of July, were yet unfulfilled ; that merciless severity had been resorted to, for the purpose of putting down an insurrection of a few hundreds of unarmed artizans, and that many taxes were unrepealed, and other reforms in accordance with the provisions of the charter unnoticed, which it was desirable should be mentioned in the address. The Minister of Public Instruction, in supporting the address, defended him self and his coagues from the charge of merciless severity preferred against the Government. Mar shal LOBAU, under whose orders the troops acted in quelling the insurrection, appealed to his ser vices in the cause of freedom and France, as proofs of his incapacity to treat Frenchmen with merciless severity: The troops under his command, on the occasion alluded to, amounted only to forty thousand ; should another insurrection of the same character take place, he hoped to be able to bring a hundred thousand into action. This chival rous speech was very properly received with laughter and mock-applause by the Chamber. After several Members had spoken, some of whom condemned the conduct of the Government with regard to the tragic affair of the 14th of April last, in the - Itue - TransiiOnain, and their apathetic indifference to the insurrection in Spain, the Chambers divided on the Address, when the numbers were— Number of Voters present 91 For the Address B2 Against__ it 9 Majority -73 The Address was accordingly adopted by the Peers. What opposition it may meet with in the Chamber of Deputies we have not yet learned, as the Sitting of the 9th was entirely taken up in going through the preliminary forms ; and nothing of an important pub lic nature was done, except the appointment of a Com mittee on the Address. We yesterday gave an outline of the proceedings in the Chamber of Proceres, or Peers of Spain, on the address to the REGENT'S speech from the throne. - The debate in the Chamber of Procuradores, or Deputies, is now before us, realizing in a great measure our anti cipations of the sentiments which would be found to pervade the majority of that Assembly. The address wa3 read by M. LOPEZ, the Secretary, by whom it was drawn up, upon which the Vice-Pre sident, M. MEDRANO rose, and after denouncing it as a most wicked, detestable, dangerous, and revolu tionary document, moved its entire and utter rejection. Most of the Ministry, with their new alley, Count TORENO, followed ; and though they did not dare to propose voting for the wholesale rejection of the ad dress, they inveighed with great bitterness against the clauses in it which demanded the removal of all re strictions from the public press. They also defended , their conduct w ith res p ec t t o th e attack on the convents on the 17th of July ; and in answer to several questions on the subject of the insurrection in Navarre, M. M. DE LA Rosa stated, that it was not usual with the Government to make any announce ment connecting therewith the name of an individual, of the truth of which they had not the fullest testi mony ; that doubts still existed as to whether or not DON CARLOS was at the head of the insurrection, but that whether he was or was not the Ministry would use every means to crush the rebellion with all possible speed. He too condemned the liberty of the Press contended for in the address, and inveighed against trial by jury, and the proposal for making Ministers personally responsible for acts done in their official capacity. After a long and animated debate, which lasted during the sitting of the 3d, an adjournment of the discussion was moved -and carried, and the Chamber rose without having come to any conclusion upon it. We learn, however, by an express from Madrid of the sth inst., that the Ministry had succeeded in carrying several important amendments, which they proposed on the renewal of the debate in the sitting of the 4th, which would obviate the necessity of their resigning, which they would have been under the necessity of doing, had the address been adopted by the Chambers without undergoing any alteration. The fate of Don CARLOS in Spain is sealed. Zu- NiALA CARR EGUY has been for some time engaged in raising recruits in the Bastan and Pampeluna, but he has neither arms nor provisions, and the troops under his command are for the most part a ragged rabble, without half the accoutrements necessary for soldiers in active service. To complete the distresses of the insurgents, the military commandant at St. Sebastian received orders from the QUEEN'S Government to collect all the boats in the ports of Fontarabia, Lessee, and the Passage, and, in case of contravention, to burn them to ashes in twenty-four hours: The object of this is to prevent the flight of the Carlists to any other part of the coast. It has been announced in the French Chamber of Deputies that France has not been soli cited to interfere in the civil war in Spain. The South Australian scheme has received the sanction of both Houses, for a reason too common to many of their acts, namely, that the subject of them is not understood ; but credence is given to their pro moters, though they are swayed by considerations of self-interest. We cannot conceive, however, what these last promise to themselves in the present in stance. Corn cannot pay the freight of a five months' voyage. As an agricultural speculation, with reference to this country, therefore, the present measure must fail ; and it is no business of ours to plant a colony for the supply of other countries with grain. Even if it were to succeed, it saps the foundations of our prosperity, for it takes from us the most valuable of our labourers, and a portion of our capital, which ought to be beneficially employed at home, and might be, if our home industry were not repressed by bad legislation, which produces an unemployed increase of the one, and an unemployed accumulation of the other. Emigration is a mere palliative, and a bad palliative. The remedy is to get at the root of the evil. Mr. WHITMORE, whose name figures among these schemers, must have applied himself to the state of our agriculture to little purpose, if he has not perceived that the Western and Southern counties of England are most wretchedly cultivated—that the Northern and Eastern are still susceptible of great improvement— and that in all of them the growers of corn are dis tressed. Is not the good sense of the matter then to investigate the causes of this distress, and to remove them ? When they shall be removed, and when the improvements in husbandry which have been suc cessfully practised in the Lothians of Scotland, and in the Northern counties of England, shall be introduced into the Western and Southern counties, we shall then find that we can employ not only the whole of our own labourers, but shall require assistance from Ireland.— Upon this subject we beg leave to recommend to Mr. WHITMORE'S perusal the present state of the tenancy of land in Great Britain, by L. KENNEDY and T. B. GRAINGER, Esquires. While one third only of our population are engaged in agriculture, the numbers of the people both agri cultural and manufacturing have been increasing for the last thirty years at the rate of about 15 per cent. in each period of 10 years. This increasing number of our people produces an increasing demand for corn. How happens it then, that when one-third of the po pulation only is engaged in agriculture, with an increas ing population, and an increasing demand for corn, the number of unemployed agricultural labourers con tinues to increase, and that, while capital overflows, it is not employed in the cultivation of the soil, for the products of which there is nevertheless an increasing demand? Upon this subject we beg leave to refer Mr. WHITMORE to Mr. MUNDELL'S last publica tion, from which he will find how our industry is re pressed by the laws we have passed relative to the currency, corn, wages, particular manufactures, and through taxes. In place of applying himself to the deportation of the best of our labourers, and to the sending to a distant settlement for agricultural purposes a portion of our capital, if Mr. WHITMORE will apply himself to the investigation of the causes which have deprived the home growers of corn of their capital, and wrested from them the benefits that ought to result from the increasing demand of an increasing population for food, he may then discover that if these causes shall be removed, capital will return to the cul tivation of the soil, for which we shall then require the labourers and the capital he is now doing his best to send abroad. There are about twenty-seven mil lions of acres under cultivation in England, while ' there are about six millions more uncultivated, part of which is capable of cultivation. It is plain that if these twenty-seven millions of -acres were duly culti vated, England should raise for herself enough of corn for her own consumption ; and yet, for the last eighteen years, the quantities she has received from Ireland and from foreign soils, not to mention Scotland, have more than doubled. In Ire land too, there are nearly five millions of acres not cultivated at all ; and the ten millions, or thereabouts, under cultivation in that country, are still more wretchedly cultivated than the worst cultivated parts of England. Surely the land already in culti vation in England and Ireland should be properly cultivated, and the land in the United Kingdom not yet cultivated at all should be brought into proper cultivation, before the best of our labourers, and a portion of our capital, are sent to cultivate land in a new colony.

The Brussels Papers contain no news of any mo ment. M. DE POTTER has left Brussels, and will return in a few days to Paris to conduct the Publica tion of a work which he has written under the pompous title of " A Philosophical, Political, and Criti cal History of Christianity, from the time of the Apostles to the Nineteenth Century." We dare say BAYLE, VOLTAIRE, DIDEROT, and R ous- SEA U, will be exhumed and exhibited in the rege mentals of his Satanic Majesty, as M. DE POTTER besides being an orthodox son of the Church, has a genius wonderfully creative of horrors, and all manner of dire imaginings. However, it will be well for the internal repose of Belgium, France, and England, if the Ultra-Radicals would all just now betake them 4elves to writing histories of the same kind—for, considering the lessons which they propose teaching mankind, no one can doubt their competence. VIENNA, Aug. 2.—We hear that the young King of Hun gary intends to make an excursion in a few days to the little town of Gunnunden, celebrated for its romantic situation, where his Royal Highness the D u k e o f M o d ena i s sa id to be also expected. Lieutenant-Colonel Pechesch Van Pelun has just received his appointment as Ambassador Extraordinary and Sub-Ple nipotentiary, per his Majesty the Emperor, to King Otho, of Greece, and will repair to his post in a few weeks.— A//gemeine Zeitung, Aug. 7. NEUFCHATEL.—The King of Prussia by an ordinance of the sth June has granted to all illegitimate children the right to dispose of their property, either during their life time or after death, which had hitherto been granted only as a special favour. In another part of The Sun will be found the con fession of the convict GA RSIDE, with respect to the atrocious assassination of Mr. THOMAS ASHTON, of Apthorne Mills. Anything more revolting—more humiliating to the national character, than this confes sion, we have not met with for many years ; still, ap palling as its statements are, it will not be without its good effects, if it shall teach those of our mis guided operatives who have at any time allowed their reason to be blinded, and their feelings to be blunted, by the promises aild sophistries of Trades' Unionists, that no good end can ever be answered by their mixing themselves up with associations whose very frame work is at variance with all the principles of justice and common sense. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF CUM ,MOMS. THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13. The SPEAKER took the Chair at twentyminutes past twelve. Mr. F. SHAW presented petitions from Clonmel and the diocese of Lismore, in support of the Established Church. Mr. EWING presented a petition from the merchants and others of Glasgow in favour of the Bankruptcy Lill. Mr. SINCLAIR would take that opportunity of returning thanks to his Honourable Friend the Member for Glasgow for the pains and attention he had exhibited in carrying through the Bankruptcy Bill. Colonel PgRCE VAL presented a petition signed by 7,000 Peers, grand jurors, and extensive landed proprietors of the county of Cork, which disproved the assertion of his Ma jesty's Cabinet, that the landholders and landed proprietors of Ireland were in favour of that Bill which so happily met its fate in the other House on Monday night—( Hear, hear.) The petition was in favour of the integrity of the Church Establishment as regarded its revenues and its connection with the State. 'I he petition deprecated that unhallowed commission, for so he would call it, that had been issued by his Majesty's Government, to inquire into the revenues of the Established Church, and which he was so de lighted to have the sanction of the greatest ornament of the English bar and bench for terming illegal. The petition fur ther deprecated the abstraction of one-fifth of their incomes from the clergy. If tithes were not paid in Ireland, on the heads of his Majesty's Government be it ; but he (Col. Per ceval) would maintain, that if the laws were supported, tithes would be paid as willingly as ever in Ireland.—( Much laugh ter.) The exertions of the clergy to support the„laws and maintain the institutions of the country, had been billy repaid by motions such as that of the Hon. Member for St. Alban's (Mr. Ward) for the spoliation of their property ; while on the contrary, those who bad outraged the laws and fostered rebel lion, had met with encouragement and support. Mr. O'RE IL L Y said they had just heard a very eloquent dissertation upon the Bill which he (Mr. O'R.) would say had so unhappily met its fate in the other House—( Hear, hear)—although he could not learn that the petition con tained any allusion to that Bill. The Hon. and Gallant Co lonel had objected to the 40 per cent. deduction from tithes, but with all his indignation against it, he had forgotten to vote against that clause.—( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'R.) depre cated that species of loyalty which flowed not from principle or religion, but which was conditional, and depended upon the ascendancy and supremacy of a particular party. The Hon. and Gallant Colonel should, however, take care, that while advo cating the lawful doctrine of ascendancy, he did not endanger the peace and safety of Ireland ; for he ( Mr. O'R.) looked with great apprehension to that country until the next meeting of Parliament. It had been very insolently whispered out of the walls of that House, that the representatives of the pro perty in Ireland had voted against the Tithe Bill ; but he (Mr. O'R.) would ask how much of that property was affected by mortgages and judgments ?—( Hear, hear.) And he would fearlessly place the supporters of the Bill, in point of property, against those who had opposed it, and he had no doubt the balance would be vastly in favour of the sup porters of the Bill, and against the boasted representa tives of property.—( Hear.) The Church was put forward upon all occasions as a sort of stalking-horse, but it was what he (Mr. O'Reilly) would call the unhallowed ascendancy of party, and the maintenance of those last strong-holds of corruption, the corporations, that Hon. Members had in view, when they raised the cry of danger to the Church. Mr. WARD trusted that the results of the commission would be as beneficial to the country as the Hon. and Gallant Member for Sligo had anticipated they would be injurious.— ( Hear ' hear.) It w ou ld, h e h ope d , put an en d to that ac cursed system which had so long distracted and divided Ire land. As to the rejection of the Bill, to which the Hon. and Gallant Member had alluded, ere six months elapsed he prophesied that that Hon. and Gallant Member would come back to that House with the bitterest repentance. —( Hear, and a laugh.) With respect to the personal allusions to himself, he would only say, that in consequence of the turn events had taken, before a fortnight of the next Session would elapse, he would call upon the House to take the state of the Church Establishment into its consideration, and impress upon it the absolute necessity and right of the Legislature to control and regulate its revenues.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. SIN C L AIR thought the other House had discharged its duty, and redeemed its character by throwing out the Bill. The enemies of the Church would, he feared, never be satis fied so long as the Church had a privilege to forfeit or pro perty to lose. In a short time the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Dublin would call for further concessions, and assail the shattered fabric of the Church with all the force of his eloquence, calling upon that House to reduce still further the members and the revenues of an establishment that had been bedewed with the tears of Ireland, and had fattened on her blood.—( Hear, and laughter.) They would at length find themselves in the O'Connell omnibus, with the Hon. and Learned Member for Tipperary on the steps behind ; before they had got two-thirds of the journey they would cry out to the coachman to stop and let them out ; but they would be hurried on at a railroad pace to the goal of Church annihila tion.—(Laughter, and Hear.) He had always been the friend of civil and religious liberty ; he had supported Catholic Emancipation in 1812, not in the halycon days of the Duke of Wellington ; he had supported the cause of Reform, not only in the days of Lord John Russell, but during the Tory sway of Lord Liverpool, but he did not like to see anarchy introduced into the Church, and he was surprised that orthodox Dissenters should unite with the enemies of the Church to effect its destruction. Let the orthodox Dissenter and the Churchmen unite. Yonder (pointing to the Treasury benches) was the Socinian—yonder the Papist—( Oh, oh 0-- yonder the enemy of the Church—those were the enemies of the Reformed Church, and he hoped that all friends of the Church would unite for its preservation. POTTER denied that there was a tendency to in fidelity amongst the Dissenters, and he said that it was very unfair for the Dissenters to be attacked in that House, where they had no opportunity of defending their doctrines. Sir E. CODRINGTON regretted that the Irish Tithe Bill had been lost in the other House, as he thought its re jection would be deeply injurious to the Established Church. He could not understand how any Hon. Members could con gratulate themselves upon the rejection of this Bill, which he looked upon as a most serious calamity. Mr. F. SHAW said, that however large might have been the majority in this House in favour of this Bill, it was the duty of any individual Member who was opposed to it to express his opinions upon it. The Bill did no good--it left all the existing objections to tithes standing, and merely took a certain portion of their present legal income from the clergy and put it into the pockets of the landlords. He did not, however, object to the amount of tithe proposed to be left, for he did acknowledge that it might be considered as a bribe to the clergy, at least for the present year, but he objected to the principle of the Bill, which was one of direct spoliation. h• He maintained that h e , an d th os e who thought wit Tess th as much right as any other Hon. Member to elr o c s oc opinions in that House, and he would say that the Bi posed to every right of property, and as directly opposeault!oj principles with which his Majes's Government set ° o id was too bad that Ministers after chopping and eha n g h in i joY with every wind should now turn round, and complain had not followed th e i r examp l e . With respect to tthbee mission his judgment was that it would put it inte • of every C a th o li c to d r i ve t h e Protestants from OW.II p,.1 in orde r to lighten their own burdens, and vice versa Wota.so testant landlords, and w ou ld i ncrea se religious ailelged, ten-fold. He would ask could this produce a g° °(l rather would it not be most pernicious. Mr. WALKER regretted that the Tithe Bill h ad b g n t but he m ere ly rose as a Protestant to deny t w i t V; Protestants of Ireland were of the same oPit ii°n • 10.'

' t he of those who voted in this !louse for the rejection e` " be t were glad that it had passed ; and one Hon. 14 9 71 1,e0, voted for the throwing out the Bill told the Hon• an theas Member for• Dublin, on leaving the House, that Clef. that the Bill had passed.
