Intelligence has been received from Madrid by telegraph (via Bayonne) of an English courier having left that city on the 9th with the ratification of the Treaty of the Quadruple Alliance. He may be expected to arrive in town this evening or to-morrow morning. The African steamer has not brought the ratifica tions of the treaty by Don PEDRO. These may be expected by the next vessel. The bill for compelling the inhabitants of Christ-church parish to pay a salary to a non resident clergyman has properly been thrown out by a large majority. What other result could have been anticipated ? It argues some thing worse than folly to institute a proceeding of this kind at a period when there is a general outcry against pluralities ; and Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL and Mr. ESTCOURT do any thing but serve the cause of the church by ad vocating such a measure. The Tories, by re jecting all reasonable reform in church esta blishments, only increase the force of the dissenters. We regret to find that Lord ALTHORP despairs of carrying two bills of great import ance, and which the public confidently trusted would be passed this session—namely, the bills for the establishment of local courts and the abolition of imprisonment for debt. There has been a great deal of apathy, and not a little inconsistency displayed by the go vernment with respect to these hills, as well as some others in the house. Be fore the present ATTORNEY-GENERAL lost his seat for Dudley, the Government declared their firm determination to press them both this ses sion, and but a week or two ago this determi nation was repeated by one of the Ministers of the Crown, yet we find now that no steps have been taken to carry this resolution into effect. The absence of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL can form no excuse for such dilatory conduct. These bills would have passed the Commons in a very short time. The Local Courts Bill has already been so amply discussed, and the other is so simple in its details, that nothing like pro tracted discussion could be anticipated. Any plain, unlettered man, like Mr. HUME, would have been quite competent to conduct them ; and, but for the expectations held out by the Government, he probably would have brought one of them at least forward. The real objec tion, we believe, is the opposition anticipated in the Lords; but is that House to put a stop to the business of Parliament, and ought Ministers to be deterred from bringing forward any measures for the good of the country, simply because they despair of the concurrence of the Lords ? If they wait till the two houses concur in great measures of reform, no reform will ever take place. Their plain course is to pass through the Commons such bills as the country de mands, and leave the responsibility of rejecting them with the other house. They now throw the whole responsibility on themselves. The Lords have originated but one measure of the least importance this session, and seem not disposed to forward any sent up from the Commons. By the mode in which they have taken up the disfranchisement bills, they have chalked out work for the session ; and after all, we shall have_in the end only a repe tition of the East Retford affair. With the exception of the Estimates nothing, iri fact, has been done, and the discussions hitherto may be regarded only as prologues to the pro ceedings of next session. The Poor Laws' Amendment Bill goes into committee to-morrow. If such clergymen as Mr. WIIATELEY Or Mr. BECHER could be found in every parish, and when found, if they were not to be counteracted by the improper interference of magistrates, or the prejudices of landlords and farmers, we should agree that a central board might be dispensed with. But we do not see how otherwise the self-importance of magistrates, the wrong-headed conceptions of country gentlemen, the mistaken but constantly working interests of farmers, and the watchful sunning of paupers are to be prevented from con- DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. --- New 5 per Cent. - 'lndia Stock '27o Ditto Bonds 29 30 pm.

We would willingly, however, enter into a compromise on this , head, by providing that every parish which shall undertake to put down, within twelve months, the payment of wages, rent, or taxes, or any allowance out of the rate, shall be exempted from the powers of the Central Board, and be sii);c:q; only to the condition of making annual reports of their proceedings in all that relates to the poor to the Central Board. Whatever the powers may be that shall be granted to the Central Board, certainly no parish can complain if it be put in its own power not to become sub ject to them. But wlit is the meaning of all this clamour ? Does any one deny the existing abuses ? Are these abuses not to be corrected ? Has not the bill that has been read a first time been brought in for this special purpose ? Is it not then in the committee upon the bill that the corrections and amendments which it may require, are to be made ? Let every clause be separately considered and discussed. It is thus and thus only that the merits or demerits o the bill can be rightly understood. Is it the meaning of the clamour that has been raised, of of those who have raised it, that the abuses are to continue, and that we are to have no remedy at all? If it be said a remedy is required, but we do not like this remedy, then is it not in cumbent on those who admit the grievance, but quarrel with the proposed remedy, to suggest some other ? We shall be very glad to deal with any persons whatever in this way ; but we find ourselves altogether at a loss how to deal with the clamour that has been raised. It is clamour, and nothing else, and we cannot see that any good will be done by opposing cla mour to clamour. We do not believe that the main object of putting an end to the payment of labour out of the rate can be accomplished, or that one uniform system, which shall not be liable to abuse, can be established throughout England without a Central Board ; but we shall be very happy if those who have been so clamorous against the bill can make it appear hat we are wrong in this respect. Mr. LITTLETON, last night, brought in a Bill to repeal certain provisions of the Irish Stamp Act, relating to the issue of stamps to the publishers of newspapers ; also a Bill to amend the Irish Valuation of Counties Acts, and to provide for the more effectual levy of the grand jury cess. We understand there were about four hun dred gentlemen, from town and country, at the Meeting of the Dissenting Deputies and Dele gates on Thursday. Now, if the former, and those friends they introduced numbered 150, it gives 250 from the country. The summonses or invitations issued by the Deputies were either addressed to all the Dis senting Churches, or only to some of them. If the latter, then the resolutions can only be considered as those of a portion of the body, and the Churches not summoned will have a right to complain if they have not been invited to take part in deliberations by which their in terests may, and undoubtedly will, be deeply affected. But if the invitation was general, and only 250 churches sent a representative, where were the remainder of the eight thousand congrega tions which some Dissenters have spoken of, or even the four thousand, or three thousand, men- tioned by others as unanimous in their deter mination to sever the Church from the State, and their reprobation of the measures proposed by his Majesty's Government. The truth is, that the meeting on Thursday was a highly respectable one, and there were many very distinguished persons present who took part in its proceedings ; but it cannot be taken as a representation of the principles, views, and feelings of the whole body of Dis senters. And nothing in the way of meeting can be so considered but county or district meetings, open to all, and to which all the churches of all denominations shall be invited to send delegates, and from them a meeting convened in the metropolis. Before such meetings are summoned, we strongly recommend the London Deputies to consider what they themselves mean by a se paration of Church and State, and how they propose to effect it. When the Independents and Presbyterians were at the head of the government of the country, they . pre served the churches and the colleges, and filled them with the most pious and learned men they could find, and the dissenters complain that 2,000 of them were in one day expelled by the act of uniformity. But the dissenting ministers now declare that they will not accept of office in the church or emolument from 1 the state revenues heretofore appropriated to religious purposes. That may be, and doubtless is, a very wise determination ; but it is one thing to adopt a principle and act upon it for oneself, and another to decide for our neighbours ; one thing to adopt and act on a good principle, and another to attempt to force others to think or act, according to our own views and feelings. It is vain to ask the government to do that which it finds impracticable ; and a separation of church and state can only be made practicable by such a clear and distinct exposition of the views and designs which the parties entertain, as will satisfy a majority of the people—of the reflect ing and influential people of England—that the measures intended will promote their true and final interests. Now, here is work for the Pro testant dissenting ministers and laymen. It must be done before any effectual progress can be made in the attainment of the object they avow that they have at heart. Let them not forget the remark of their late enlightened friend, ROBERT HALL. "Itis no use to attempt to push men beyond their light, and if it were possible, it would not be lawful. We must increase their light, and they will follow of their own accord?' Private meetings, or meetings to be reported only by a privileged paper or two, may serve the purpose of individuals, but they are by no means calculated to inform or enlighten the public mind. They excite suspicion in some quarters, and disapprobation in others. An open, manly, and straight-forward course best becomes the claims and pretensions of the Protestant Dis senters. The Frankfort papers mention that a part of the Poles who had been ordered to quit the Canton of Berne, had obtained passports from the French legation, and all taken their depar ture with the exception of four. Some extensive beds of coal have been dis covered in Greece. VIENNA, MAY 2.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 99 Four per Cent., 89 ; Bank Shares, 1,262. —Allge. meine Zeitung, May 7. The French papers of Sunday state, that the whole budget 1,009,008,531 f. (40,368,341/. sterling) has been agreed to by the Chamber of Deputies. Letters from Barcelona state that General LLAUDER was raising a corps of volunteers in Catalonia. The Swiss Govern ment have, it appears, resolved that the peaceable refugees shall be allowed to remain in Switzerland. Accounts from Barcelona to April 30, state that the Carlist faction of Arragon has been defeated and dispersed by Donna MARIA'S army in Catalonia with the loss of 600 killed and 200 prisoners. Mr. - CAVENDISH, brother to the Earl of BURLINGTON, will start for Derbyshire. No opposition is anticipated. The Brussels Papers of the 11th inst. state, that M. CASSIMIR PERRIER, who, as Chief Secretary of Legation, will fill ad interim the post of Minister Plenipotentiary during the absence of Count de LATOUR MAUBOURG, arrived there on the 10th. A letter from Liege of the 9th of May, states, that there had been an explosion of fire-damp in a coal-mine, at Val Bensit, by which four or five men were killed, and several others severely wounded. It was to be expected that a Bill, the object of which is to lay the axe to the root of cor ruption, should be virulently assailed ; and that, under the guise of humanity to the poor, those interested in the mal-administration of the Poor-rates in every parish would be loud in their exclamations against the reform. That the persons interested in the mal-administration of the poor laws in every parish are extremely numerous, no one conversant with parochial affairs will for a moment deny. Let the rate payers be upon their guard, let them but put these questions to themselves : How much of the poor rates are, in our parish, distributed acknowledgedly to pay the rent of rooms, in small tenements, by which means the landlord secures to himself an enormous rental, the speculation afford ing a return of twenty-five or thirty per cent. on his capital, and as the house is tenanted by l a pauper, whose means of paying the exorbi tant rent to the landlord is solely derived from the poor-rates, through the medium of out door relief, the house is struck out of the as sessment, thereby still further increasing the burden of those who do pay the rates ? Again, let the rate-payers in every parish ask themselves this question : Hob much of the poor rates in this parish are immediately squandered at the neighbouring gin palaces ? And here again another host of opponents to the proposed re form rise before our view in the shape of pub licans, brewers, gin distillers, &c. &c. Let the rate payers, and above all, let the poor themselves beware of such supporters, they are directly interested in the abuses which the bill will put an end to. We have n o dread of an opposition to the amendments from the poor themselves,—who will soon perceive that if their wages have been reduced by the mal-administration of the poor-laws, and that the remedies proposed in thePoo'r Laws' Amend ment Bill have, wherever they have been tried, elevated their condition by increasing the remu neration for the daily labour they perform, that instead of grinding down the poor and making the whole labouring population a herd of paupers, the proposed remedies, wherever tried, have effected an immense improvement in the moral and social condition of the labour ing poor, they will approve of the proposed change in the law. We need only refer to those parishes where this has been ef fected, which are quoted in the remarks on the Poor Laws' Amendment, Bill, by Mr. LESLIE, published in our paper of Saturday and yes terday (and which pamphlet, we perceive by the advertisement, is in course of publication by RIDGWAY), to show the advantages to the poor themselves from the proposed plan. We call the attention of the rate-payers generally, and of the eastern end of the metro polis in particular, to the following evidence given by practical men of that locality, as to the evils of the existing system. The remedies proposed by these gentlemen to avert the dreadful calamities which the mal administration of the Poor Laws has entailed on the ratepayers, will be found in strict acr cordance with the evidence of all practical men on the subject, and also with the Govern ment measure, which therefore deserves the warm support of the intelligent rate pa yers throughout the country, and of the metropolis U particular : " The conclusion of most examinations of witnesses in the deeply-pauperized districts is usually of the following tenor : (The parish officers of the parish of Bethnal Green, London, examined :) " Mr. Hooker,—' My trade is declining ; so is the trade of my neighbours. From year to year my re turns are less ; so are theirs ; and respectable people are leaving the place, which makes it still worse. " The condition of your parish being such as you describe, sunk deep in debt, if not absolutely bank rupt; houses deserted in consequence of the pressure of the rates ; the pressure increasing ; rents declin ing, and ruin impending ; what remedies have pre sented themselves to the minds of those who govern the parish ? what new courses are they prepared to I take?—l do not know; I have not heard of anything; we cannot do anything ; we must depend on Provi- dence ; I do not . see what is to sav e us from ruin, if Government does not do something for us.' " " Mr. Brushfield, of Spitalfields— " The outcry for the establishment of some strict regulations is very generally increasing throughout our parish. They ask, what remedy is there for the increas ing evil? I have said I see no way but by some superior and central control being established. Since I was here before the subject has been the topic of conversation at our Board of Governors, and it is agreed on all hands that some powerful central control ought to be established." " Mr. Thomas Single, of Mile End Old Town, says— " I hear it very frequently said in the parish, that it would be a very excellent thing if the Government would take the parish affairs in their own hands, for the inhabitants see no chance of the present rates being reduced under the present system. Some regulating power should be established. " ' I consider it a very necessary interference for the protection of the good order of so ciet y , a g ainst the worst misgovernment. I think it necessary for the protection of property, which is now giving way, and must continue to give way, under the pressure of pau perism. Rents are now much reduced in consequence of the heaviness of the rates. We have 800 empty houses in our parish, and persons are constantly leaving it to go to other parishes where the rates are lower. As the owner of houses, I can speak to these effects from my own knowledge.' " SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MAY 12.—Wind W.

The present number consists of four engrav ings, all of which are characterised by the ar tist's usual mannerism. There is no mistaking the monotonous grandeur of Mr. Martin's con ceptions. lie cannot vary it—he cannot keep it under—it breaks out in spite of him. Of the specimen before us, the most imposing is decidedly the " 4 Seventh Plague of Egypt," in which there is the same stupendous parade of architecture that riveted the public attention in the well-known painting, Belshazzar's Feast. LITERATURE. PETER PARLEY'S TALES ABOUT EUROPE, 6-c. Tegg, London, 1834. Peter Parley's gossip about the wonders o nature and art, and the surprising adventures that Ude' him in the course of his travels through Europe, are just the sort of marvels to stimulate the attention of children, and put them into a state of pleasing bewilderment. The old man's volume is indeed essentially a child's volume. It is characterised throughout by much benignity of purpose ; is simple in its language ; and in its descriptions full of natural vigour. There is nothing of the austere pe dantry of the schoolmaster about it. Peter in structs with a smile, as all should do who desire to win the attention of young folks. It is by no means so easy a task as may be imagined, to write children's books. Of the many who attempt it, but very few succeed ; indeed with the exceptions of Barbauld, Trimmer, Edge worth, and the author of the present plump little duodecimo, we know of none who have exhibited anything like tact that way. By far the major portion of our children's books are overlaid with " learned lumber." They are too wise for youth, and not wise enough for matu rity ; with a sort of patronizing, condescending manner which, of itself, is quite enough to ren der them repulsive to young minds. Our friend Peter Parley is not one of these self-sufficient, pedantic instructors. He gossips with children in the way they most love, just as if he were one of themselves—only a little bigger. Where his subject is dry, or somewhat abstruse, he illus trates it by some brief, pertinent anecdote, with the further recommendation of beautiful wood cuts. We know not to which to give the pre ference in this volume—its pictorial or its lite rary department. Both are executed in a style remarkable for its force and simplicity. All little school-boys and school-girls should make a point of purchasing the book with their next pocket-money, and reading it on their next half holiday. It will be money well laid out, and me well employed. Lord Cloncurry has just published, in the form of a pamphlet, the design of a law for promoting the pacification of Ireland, and the improvement of the Irish territory and population. We have looked into this plan with some attention, and have been struck with its simplicity and straight-forwardness. We hope Lord Cloncurry will take an early oppor tunity of bringing it under the notice of the legislature. There are about 450 different trades carried on in London. The shoemakers are the most nume rous class, and the tailors next ; the former, above 20 years of age, amounting to 16,502, and the latter to 14,552. The carpenters amount to 13,208, and if the c abinet-makers are included, to 19,629. The bakers, butchers, bricklayers, and blacksmiths come next, but they average little more than a third of those trades. DREADFUL ACCIDENT WITH Loss OF LIFE AT PENYDARRAN IRON WORKS.-011 Thursday afternoon, a little after four o'clock, the tube of the Trevethick steam engine burst with a loud explosion, threw down in large fragments great part of the cy linders of the engine, scattered in all directions the roofs of several buildings belonging to the works, and shook a considerable number of the houses around. Although it is with pain that we record any loss of human life, we cannot but deem it a most providential circumstance that in this instance, on a spot on which generally many persons are present, only two were seriously injured. Thomas and William Howel, the sons of old William Howel, well known in the neigh bourhood as William of Pencaedrain, were at work in a shed adjacent, the roof of which, made of iron, fell upon them, and they were taken out dreadfully scalded, and nearly in a state of suffocation. Thomas Howel, we regret to state, expired en Friday morning. Had the engine burst towards the mill, instead of (most providentially) towards the bank, the loss of life would have been most awful.—.llferthyr Guardian. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, TUESDAY, MAY 13. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past The Grosvenor-place Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the new member for Perth shire, was introduced by Lord Stormont and Sir Henry Hardinge, and took the oaths and his seat. The hon. baronet was loudly cheered on his entrance. LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. Several petitions were presented in favour of and against the Southampton Railway Bill. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE moved the further considera tion of the report of the committee on the London and Southampton Railway Bill. Mr. W. MILLS moved that the bill be recommitted for the purpose of enabling the engineer to procure further evidence in favour of the proposition. The hon. member proceeded at some length to argue against the measure, and contended that the expense would be much greater than that which had been estimated, and that the line marked out was in a great measure impracticable. Mr. W. J. DENISON seconded the amendment of the hon. member for Somerset. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE contended that no case had been made out for the re-commitment of the bill. There was no evidence that the committee had been a packed one, that it had rejected any evidence brought before it, or had acted in any way unfairly. The arguments of the ho nourable members who had preceded him went rather in favour of the principle of the bill, and the com mittee had been almost unanimous in its favour. With respect to the statements that this railway was not called for, the best answer to them was the number of petitions he had that morning presented in favour of it. This line of road also had one great peculiar advantage ; it interfered less with private property than any other in the kingdom. Mr. M. PHILIPS supported the amendment, on the ground of the great difference of opinion that existed amongst practical men upon the estimated expense of the undertaking. Mr. AIILDMAY rose amidst crises of " time and ques tion," and said he would support the original motion. Mr. HAWES supported. the bill on the ground that nine out of the ten professional men who were examined had approved of it. Mr. H. HUGHES objected to the recommitment of the bill, on the ground of the expense it would create. Mr. BRISCOE supported the original motion, and complained of the opposition of the members for Somerset and Surrey, as they had not attended the committee upon this bill. Mr. DENISON explained. After a few words from Mr. BRISCOE and Mr. MILES ; also in explanation, strangers were ordered to withdraw i and during our absence the report, with the amendments. was agreed to without a division, and the bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. WILK S presented a petition from Harriet Griffiths against the Western Railway bill. Referred to Committee, and others to the same effect. Mr. HEATHCOTE presented a petition from ship owners against the Boston Railway bill. Referred to Committee. Mr. C. ROSS moved the second reading of the Stan wich "(Northampton) Inclosure Bill. Mr. WILSON PATTEN presented a petition from the hand-loom weavers of several parishes in Lancashire, com plaining of extreme distress ; also from the overseers, con stables, and others, of the same places, against the Beer Act. Mr. FENTON presented a petition from Littleton, Lancaster, in favour of Dissenters. Sir G. STRICKL AND presented a petition from Ha lifax, signed by 8,000 persons, against the bill altering the Beer Act. Mr. GODSON supported the petition, and said beer shops were not worse than gin shops, which ought to be put under some regulations. Sir J. SEBRIGHT said in towns beer-shops were not only not injurious, but advantageous ; but that was not the case with respect to the rural districts. Mr. JONES presented petitions from Londonderry, in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. GODSON presented a petition from the licensed brewers in the borough of Tiverton, in favour of the Beer Act. Mr. SHAW presented two petitions from Suffolk against any alteration in the law of settlement. Mr. WILKES presented a petition from the parish of St. Luke, Middlesex, against the Poor LawAmendmentßill ; also petitions for the redress of dissenters' grievances, from the Calvinistic Methodists at Tottenham-court -road cha pel, and at the Tabernacle, City-road ; from dissenters of the Independent denomination, the Rev. Dr. Bennett and congregation, at Silver-street ; fro .. Brewood, Stafford shire; Bury-street Chapel, St. Mary Axe, London; and from Thatcham, Berks ; likewise onefrom Mr. Mulligan, of County Down (Ireland), praying for the emancipation of the English dissenters. — Laid on the table. Sir C. BURRELL presented a petition from Staines against the beer shops, and one from Rasburgh (Sussex), in favour of a labour rate. Colonel LYGON presented a petition from the county of Worcester, complaining of agricultural distress, and two from the same county against beer shops. After the presentation of several other petitions, the SPEAKER left the chair. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Cashel, and the Marquis of Cornwallis, sat in the House of Lords to-day to hear English appeals. Their lordships proceeded with the arguments in the part-heard appeal of " Morgan v. Evans," in which Sir E. Sugden addressed their lordships the whole of yesterday in behalf of the appellant. Mr. Pemberton followed on the same side, and had not concluded when we left. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no other arrivals this morning than a Lisbon mail and the express from Paris. By the former a Lisbon paper of the sth has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house by the African, which does not contain any news. We have only seen one or two private letters, which are also void of interest, merely stating that the treaty stipulates that 10,000 Spanish troops are to march into Portugal. The chief object of information is the government despatches received by the African, the contents of which the speculators are very anxious to ascer tain ; and, indeed, it is their general opinion this morning, that Don Miguel has given his consent, and will soon give the contest over. It is also stated that the Stag frigate was to take Don Carlos on board ; but we have been so often deceived by false assertions for sinister views, and stock jobbing pur poses, that we will not venture to give these reports im plicit credit without we have goood authority on the subject. Owing to the general belief that Don Miguel has given in, which we cannot positively state as yet, the Portuguese Bonds reached this morning 79 1 , for next time ; at present they are 78 3 / 4 to 79.

The deputations on the English Tithe Bill will meet on Wednesday the 21st inst. at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, and not on Tuesday as stated in our paper of yesterday. A curious circumstance occurred the other day at Mr. Whitehead's Lodge, Wellingborough : Mr. W. had been preparing for brewing, and had put some bean-straw in the furnace as kindling, and after putting a light to it he was watching the progress of the flame, when, to his astonishment, a hare burst through the fire singed very much, and made its escape with the greatest precipitation, leaving Mr. W. to ru menate on so rare an occurrence% RESISTANCE TO TITHES.—A tumultuous riot took place last Monday at Dunleer, near Drog heda, where a court was held for revising tithe memo rials. The assistant barrister was driven away, and several of the clergymen who attended were most con temptuously treated by the populace. The court was adjourned to a future day. It is understood that the " Grand Female Miscellaneous Lodge" will hold a general meeting in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, on Tuesday, " on particular business." —Sunday Paper. THE UNIONS.—We understand that at a numerous meeting of manufacturers and others, held on Thursday evening, at Oates's Exchange Hotel, they came to an unanimous determination to discharge all the workmen in their employ who would not con sent to sign a declaration renouncing their connection with the trades' union. This resolution was acted on yesterday by those firms who pay their wages on Fri days ; and we hear that between 500 and 600 work men received notice to the effect above stated. The number is expected to be much greater in a day cr two, as the masters seem resolved to try the strength of the union, by throwing as many as possible upon their fluids at once. —Leeds Intelliyencer.
