London.• rei:loient—not of the poet's spring, but of gunpowder— and, like the tea of the same name, must act, we should th'l k, rather strongly on the nerves, especially if taken up a little before bed-time. First we have the battle of Wa terloo, fought over again for the hundredth time, and so ably ,„. .aught, that we read it with undiminished interest. " e Only fault to be found is that it differs, and in many essentials, from all previous narrations, as they also differed fr°l ° each other. We wish some benevolent person would take compassion on our ignorance, and inform us which is the veritable Eau de Cologne, for all idea of choice is totally "t of the question, unless we adopt the happy expedient that a jury - hit upon a fe w d a y s s i nce , w h en t h ey d ec id e d (3 / 1 their verdict by the tossing up of a half-penny. The ni • r lter handles Napoleon very roughly, pointing out all 13rt3 of blunders committed by him ; and warmly as we ma y admire the genius of this wonderful man, we feel some b reluc tance i n refusing belief to one, who must be so much be tter acq ua i nte d w i th the facts than we can pretend to be. S tilt after reading the narrative more than once, and it is Yell worth a frequent p erusa l, we must con f ess ourselves from being satisfied ; of our own 'knowledge we cannot gainsay any one of the author's assertions, and yet it is 'Lard to bring ourselves to believe in results that contradict all our previ ous op i n i ons, founded as these opinions have b een in facts. Is it possible that the victor in so many a • - °r laas field, could have been the blunderer that he is here represented ? What advanced him to his high eminence, Whose talents have never been denied ? -What but his own geniu s ? We repeat, it is difficult to refute, but not less clif fienit to believe, so low an estimate of Napoleon. !hOf "the other articles it is now too late to say more than at th e y f orm a highly interesting number, and with one lie f extract we conclude our notice. . e d l Ruling up to Major C.

Affrighted at the nearness of the danger which menaced her superior, she resolved without delay to give the alarm to the neighbourhood, by tolling the convent bell, the customary signal when assistance is required by night in religious houses. As she hurried to the belfry for the purpose, she heard the bell of the Abbess ring -violently, which seemed to her the signal of death, and make her accelerate her pace. In a few moments the great bell of the convent gave the alarm to the vicinity, and the towns people soon came thronging to the gates of the convent to afford such assistance as might be necessary. The nuns, :terrified at a signal which they knew betokened fire, or some no less disaster, came running out of their cells in confu sion. The robbers, finding themselves discovered, took to flight. Those in the garden succeeded in effecting their escape, but the ruffian within the walls was not so fortunate ; he was arrested, consigned into the hands of justice, and soon after paid with his life the forfeit of his iniquity. The Abbess was found in a swoon in bed, but uninjured except by the effects of the fright. She related that she had been awakened by a cold hand, which grasped her throat; to her horror, she per ceived it was that of a man , w h o w ith threats inquired for the money kept in the convent. Being unable to speak from the force with which he compressed her throat, the robber released his hold a little, when she took the opportunity of seizing the bell-rope at the head of the bed; almost at the same instant the great bell of the convent began to sound, on which the robber ran off with pre cipitation. - In the March of Intellect, a grave attempt is made by some elderly gentleman to prove that things are retro grading with us. The effort, as might. be expected, is not particularly successful, and only proves how little the writer knows of the world he is taking upon himself to criticise. Not one syllable has he heard of the modern advances in mathematics, in chemistry, in medicine, or of the thousand improvements diffused through society by the wonderful spread of mechanic knowledge ; the names of Ark wright, Babbage, Brunell, Watt, have never reached his ears ; by a miracle, that can never be sufficiently admired, he alone seems to have been standing still while all around him has been advancing. What is better calculated to damp all enterprize than this eternal ringing the changes on its inutility ? Mankind in general are not too prone to value the success of others, even when they are reaping their fair portion of its benefits, and the effect of such writers, supposing them to produce any effect, must be to augment that indifference, and, by so doing, check every motive to improvement. After all, this pitting of the times past against the times present is less the result of utter ignorance than of the most deplorable vanity ; the imbecile, conscious of his inferiority to the world about him, finds a sort of wretched gratification in endeavouring to depreciate it down to his own level. The lines headed " Early Poetry of Lord Byron," are vile trash. We do not believe they were written by him, and, even if the great poet had indeed been guilty of such nonsense in his boyish days, respect for departed genius should have prevented their publication. We should just as much think of digging up his mouldering bones and selling them to the mob, as of entering into this unholy barter of his fame for a little paltry lucre. But, not to dwell upon the better and higher motives of con duct, it is not even policy to put forth these illusive an nouncements. Who, that has once been caught by the heading—" Early Poetry of Lord Byron"—and has been treated to such garbage, will return' a second time to the same table ? It has been said . of a certain judge that, when he is de cidedly against the poor culprit, he invariably " plays pussy" —that is, he begins his summing up by putting the case in the most favourable light, and ends, to use the language of Joffrys, by giving him a lick with the rough side of his tongue. As our opinions have a kindly bias towards the Metropolitan we shall reverse this said game of pussy, and having set down his offences without extenuation, we shall sum up in his favour, by a brief extract from that amusing gentleman, the Pasha of many Tales " But I'll be dished if I talk about any thing but the animal, which we had some trouble to kill ; for it stands on its big tail, and fights with all four feet. Moreover, it be otherwise a strange beast ; for its young ones pop out of its stomach, and then pop in again, having a place there on purpose, just like the great hole in the bow of a timber ship ; and as for the other little animal, it swims in the po n d s , l ays eggs , an d h as a duck's bill, yet still it be covered all over with hair like a beast. _ _ _ _ • The Vizier interpreted—" By the prophet, but he laughs at our beards !" exclaimed the Pasha angrily. " These arc foolish lies." " You must not tell the Pasha such foolish lies. He will be angry," said Mustapha. " Tell lies, but they must be good lies." " Well, I'll be —," replied the sailor, " if the old beggar don't doubt the only part which is true out. of the whole yarn. Well, I will try another good 'un to please him." " After I had been there about Fix months I was tired, and as there was only twenty thousand miles between that country and my own, I determined to swim back!" " Mashalla ! swim back—how many thousand miles ?" exclaimed Mustapha. - " Only twenty thousand—a mere nothing. " So one fine morning I throws a young kangaroo on my shoulders, and off I starts. I swam for three months night and day, and then feeling a little tired, I laid-to on my back, and then I setoff again ; but by this time I was so covered with barnacles, that I made but little way. So I stopped at Ascension, scraped and cleaned myself, and then, after feeding for a week on turtle, just to keep the scurvy out of my bones, I set off again ; and as I passed the Gut, I thought I might just as well put in here ; and here I arrived, sure enough, yesterday, about three bells in the morning watch, after a voyage of five months and three days." When Mustapha translated all this to the Pasha, the latter was lost in astonishment. " Alla Caba ! God is everywhere ! Did you ever hear of such a swimmer ? Twenty thousand miles—five months and three days ! it is wonderful story ! Let his mouth be filled with gold." THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.-THE NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. The pictorial engravings with which these excellent periodicals are embellished are more than worth the cost of them, even to those whose habits and feelings are opposed to all sports of field and flood, which have for their object the capture of the sinless inhabitants of woods and waters. In the first, Pussy, engraved by Parr, from a drawing by Cane, is the representation of a fine animal, with all the in telligence of eye observable in the best Arabian horses. The only fault is the extreme smallness of the ears, and a little coarseness in the execution of the thigh of the nearer hind leg. The pasterns are well drawn, and the management of the shadows very judicious. 'Badger Hunting, drawn and en graved by Greig, is a beautiful piece, and reflects great credit on the artist, both for ingenuity of design and skilfulness of execution. ,The situation of the badger is well chosen, and, though the dogs appear in high spirits, their enemy, look ing only just unearthed, promises not to die unrevenged. The first plate in the New Sporting Magazine is a drawing by Landseer of Horatio Ross, M. P., and an old forester, Deer-Stalking. The veteran wood-ranger is on his knees, a fowling-piece in his left hand, while with his right he endea vours to restrain the ardour of his more youthful companion in a half-kneeling, half-rising position, behind him. The intensity with which both mark their prey, and the caution with which they creep over the little knoll beyond which we catch au indistinct glimpse of a pair of branching antlers, is extremely well depicted. The only thing we complain of is the warped heaviness of the clouds. Earth and heaven look huddled together, and there is no accounting for the light at - the bottom of the picture according to any rule of art. Red Grouse is not so carefully engraved as the others. The articles are everything that could be de sired in sporting periodicals, full of the right dare-devil, neck-or-nothing spirit of well-mounted sportsmen. We can only find room for a song from the " New." Up ! Up ! with the first rosy glimpse of the morning, Away thro' the forest and dale ; The hills of the east the young sun is adorning, And fresh is the heart-stirring gale. - Up ! Up ! and away. The stag hounds are baying, the coursers are neighing, We will skim o'er the bright waving corn ; And the breeze thro' the forest's green shade will be playing, As we cheerily wind the shrill horn. Up ! Up ! and away. Hark ! Hark ! they have found, in the deep heather lying, A Buck —he is off with the wind, See ! See ! how o'er hedge, ditch, and bank he is flying, Ride ! Ride ! or they leave us behind. Off ! Off ! and away. Now o'er meadoW- and brake our swift course we are winging, The stag's far away in the shade Of the forest, whose deep startled echoes are ringing, As we dash on the trail he has made. O O d n as ! h a in n g d , away. And now through the river's broad stream he ! is On, on, he's at bay on the bank. Into eddying foam its bright wave we are lashing. The red-blood streams down from his flank. In ! and away. He is down—and the horns are his requiem sounding ; Through the country their marry blast thrill s ; The cheery " halloo" of the huntsmen resounding, Dies away on the far distant hills. _ _ Back ! Back ! and away. Sir Robert Peel, Bart. M.P. passed through this town, on Thursday last. The risible faculties of the Hon.

The attention of the authorities upon the frontiers has been redoubled for the purpose of preventing the transport of arms to Spain. The following is a letter addressed by the Director of the Customs to the President of the Chamber of Commerce, dated Bayonne, July 25 :—" France having, on the 22nd of April last, concluded with Spain a treaty, the object of which was the expulsion of Don Carlos from the Peninsula, that Prince has become the common enemy against whom Queen Isabella IL is acting at the present moment. From this time therefore it becomes unlawful, according - to the 77th, 79th, and 84th articles of the Penal Code, to furnish him with any succour, either in men, money, provisions, arms, or ammuni tion. This prohibition has lately been renewed, and the civil and military authorities, as also the magistrates, have received express orders for carrying it into execution. I have considered it right to make known these facts to the commercial interests of Bayonne, so that no merchant may enter into spe cu l a ti ons which at the present moment may have the most injudicious effect. The prohibition of exportation, and of even an attempt of that kind, extends to dress, arms, military equipments, horses, lead, saltpetre, flints, shoes, and, in fine, all ot h er ar ticles which might be useful to the insurgents. The military authorities are to decide upon what may be considered sup plies for the enemies of the Queen. As so absolute a prohi bition as this might be injurious to commercial speculations, I have thought that certain cases of exception may arise. These cases of exception are to be referred to the decision of the Spanish Consul, accompanied with proofs that the articles are not intended for the insurgents. The Augsburg Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the fol lowing, of the 11th, from Constantinople :—" The Hospo dars have received their investiture, and have obtained an audience of leave of the Sultan. Prince Alexander Ghika will leave the capital and return to Bucharest. The Porte had expressed a wish that the Principalities should in a certain degree be represented in the Divan, notwithstanding such a result would be in opposition to the existing statutes of these provinces. The Hospodars had called the atten tion of his Highness to this point, but nothing more is heard of it, and the project seems to be abandoned. An ex traordinary commission will be sent, with unlimited powers to Bosnia, to inquire into the state of that province, and to afford such aid as it may appear to require. A large military force will be placed at its disposal, for the purpose of preserving tranquility and of punishing,the rebels. Another Plenipoten tiary of the Porte, in the person of Achmet Effendi, will pro ceed to Paris, not, as is presumed, to negotiate respect. ing Algiers, but to require its surrender to the Turkish Government. The negotiations with France and Eng land relative to the Russian treaty are still the order of the day, but they appear to have lost their warlike charac ter in consequence of the explicit declaration of Lord Pon sonby, that at the_ present moment no thoughts were enter tained by his Government of having recourse to measures of violence, notwithstanding that such measures might be ren dered necessary by the manner in which the treaty might be executed. The solitary examples of plague, which are always to be met with in these quarters, are of a sporadic nature. In Scio and the coasts of Asia Minor it has entirely disappeared." The same journal states, after accounts from Vienna of the 24th, that " the intelligence of Don Carlos having left Eng land, with the intention of effecting his entrance into Spain, had produced great sensation on the Stock Exchange. The funds had fallen in consequence. The Spanish Ambassador, Count Campuzano, had left Vienna for Paris. M. Nocilles will remain here as Charge d'Affaires. Our funds to-day are— Metalliques, 5 per Cents., 97 15-16 ; ditto, 4 per Cents, 88k; Bank Actions. 1,238." The Courrier de Lyons contains the following details rela tive to the proceedings consequent upon the events in April : " Prisoners to the number of 174, arrested upon the above occasion, were subsequently discharged, it having been found upon examination that no case could be made out against them; 22 were set at liberty by order of the Commission of the Court of Peers ; 228 fully committed for trial are still in custody ; 127, against whom warrants were issued, but, who have hitherto escaped pursuit. Total 571 exam i ne d at L yons , of whom only 248 are still in custody. The examinations are nearly terminated : it is supposed that the voluminous papers, &c. will be ready to be sent off in the course of next week, to be laid before the Commission of the Court of Peers, and subsequently before the Court itself." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. —SITTING OF AO. 1. A great number of deputies had assembled as early as a quarter past 12 o'clock. M. Bedoch, the second member in seniority, having taken the chair, M. Gras Preville, who is the oldest member, imme diately approached, and demanded that it should be yielded to him. A scene of confusion arose out of this circumstance, the majority exclaiming—." No, no, we will have M. Bedoch," and addressing M. Gras Preville :—" Take the oath, then;' you were ill yesterday, Sir." M. Gras Preville attempted to argue his right to the chair by seniority, but was repeatedly interrupted. He was sup ported by M. Luneau and M. Hennequin, who maintained that he was the legal President, observing that his right had been acknowledged by his taking the chair at the preparatory sitting. M. Viennet remarked, that at the preparatory sitting the eldest member sat merely as a private individual. M. Salvandi also maintained that M. Bedoch was President, M. Gras Preville not having presented himself at the opening of the sitting, which was yesterday announced for noon. After several other members had spoken for and against the right of M. Gras-Preville to the chair, amidst extreme noise and many exclamations, the order of the day was put and adopted, by a majority of about 250 against 20, and conse quently M. Bedoch retained his seat. _ _ The President then proceeded to draw lots for the standing committees, and these having retired into their respective rooms to nominate their presidents, the sitting was suspended till half-past 3 o'clock, when the Chamber resumed, and pro ceeded to verify the qualifications of the deputies returned. At this moment M. Berryer entered the hall and took his seat, and was soon engaged in conversation with several Mi nisterial deputies. While reports were making upon the qualifications of the deputies, a message was brought up from the Peers, announc ing that Chamber to have been definitively constituted by the election of its officers. The reports in general were favourable, and a great number of deputies were admitted as duly qualified, while the ad mission of a few was postponed till they should have produced the papers required to prove their title to sit. Adjourned at 6 o'clock. SITTING OF AUGUST 2. M. Bedoch in the chair. _ The prods verbal of the sitting of the Ist was read and adopted. The order of the day was the sequel of the verifi ca ti on o f the qualifications of the deputies. The President informed the Chamber that he had received letters from several deputies demanding leave—( A laugh) —al so one resignation. He was not aware if the Chamber was pre pared to grant the former, or accept the latter ; but if requi site he would read the letters. The reading being judged unnecessary, the Chamber passed to the verification of the qualifications. Admitted—Messieurs Teste, Goussil de Prefeln, Valaze, Delebecque, Armand, Monnecove, Pieron, Anilly, Esinger, Humann, Saglio, Muteau, Maugin, Vatoub, Petot, Hartmann, De Golbery, Nicolas Kocklin, Stroltz, Harispe, Liadieres, Duserre Beslay, sen., Sauveur de la Chapelle, Le Provost. The election of M. Glais Bezoin gave rise to some observa tions. An elector declared himself ready to take the oath, but without holding up his hand.—(A laugh.) The President having insisted on the point, the elector yielded, but declared he reserved to himself the right of pro testing before the Chamber. M. Glais Bezoin was admitted, and took the oath. Also admitted, Messieurs 'Girand, Bourdeau, Gay Lussac, St. Marc Girardin, Arago, Garclas, Sauzet Jars, Fulchiron, Persil, Bedoch, Rivet, sen., Gautier, De Lacharme, Lerouge, De Moutepin, De Dre, De Vauguyon, Vallee, De Montes quieu, Genoux, Jobart. On the occasion of the election of M. Marmier, an elector demanded that a protest drawn up by him against the oath should be added to his other papers.—Agreed to. The bureau having expressed its disapprobation, the admis sion of M. de Marmier was proposed ; admitted accordingly. Also admitted—Messieurs Jacqueminot, Jacques Lefebvre, Odier, Ganneron, Thiers, Delessert, De Laboule, Paturle, De Schonen, Charles Dupin, Demonts, Pamis Garnon, David, Desjobert, Petou, Sauyer, Toussain, Mallet, Selet Amilhau, De Boissiere, De Richemont, Durosnel, George Lafayette,.

On the subject of the election of M. Pons, M. Rouille de Fontaine observed, that some objection had arisen to a speech made by the President of the College. M. Odillon Barret thought it highly reprehensible that the President of a College should have the privilege of deve loping_ theories, the refutation of which was not permitted. He thus enjoyed too great facilities as a candidate. M. Rouille de Fontaine denied that the President was a candidate. M. Odillon Barrot—ln that - case, the objection disappears, but generally speaking the President would be acting in his own interest. M. Leyraud considered that the privilege allowed to the President to make speeches was a manifest violation of the law. Left speaking. FRENCH FUNDS.—Paats, Ave. 1.

The amendment proposed by Mr. O'Connell in the House of Commons, and carried by a majority of 82 to 13, hes effected a great alteration in the details of this measure. It is, however, so entirely in accordance with the principle of the Bill, and carries into effect at once those salutary provisions which might not have come into full operation for three years, that we cannot but rejoice at its success. We admit that the immediate transference of the payment from the occupying tenant to the landlord is a strong measure. The Bill provided that this should take place at the end of three years, and that in the meanwhile a bonus, varying from 20 to 40 per cent., according to the difficulty of collecting the tithe, should be offered as an inducement to the landlord to come forward voluntarily and take the liability upon himself. The amendment proposes that the relief of the occuping tenant should be immediate,—that the burden should be imposed on the landlords without delay, and that in return the highest bonus of 40 per cent. should be given to all. There are some who denounce this proposition merely be cause O'Connell is its author; there are others who protest against it as a sacrifice to the landlords of the property of the Church : there are, fortunately, more, who, regarding the Bill as fraught with essential benefit to Ireland, and well know ing that if it be rejected there is an end to a provision for the Irish Clergy, are not disposed to object to an amendment so fully in unison with the spirit of the Bill on paltry personal considerations. If we would form a just estimate of the danger of rejecting or even of delaying this important measure, we must look at the result of the legislative enactments on this subject during the last ten years ; their temporary and partial success • their ultimate failure, and the constantly increasing evil which they were intended to remove. In 1823, the difficulty of collecting tithes had become so great, that the Government brought forward the measure which enabled a Special Vestry, consisting of the twenty-five highest contributors to the county rate in each parish, in conjunction with the incumbent, to select two Commissioners, by whom a composition should be established for the whole parish, and should continue in force 21 years. This was valuable as far as it went. It was defective in not providing for the gradual transfer of the payment from the tenant to the landlord ; in not rendering the composition permanent instead of temporary; and still more in not making the establishment of such com position compulsory instead of optional. For many of these defects the Government of that time was not to blame : their desire was to render the composition per manent and compulsory ; but they were resisted by that wisdom which afterwards shone so conspicuously in its opposi tion to the Reform Bill. The compulsory clause was de scribed as " cutting up by the roots all the sacred principles on which property, civil and clerical, was founded ;" and even the composition was objected to, as putting an end to the pay ment of tithes, which " mixed up the clergyman so harmoni ously with the Constitution." The opposition was successful—the compulsory clause wa s withdrawn, and the consequences became soon appa rent: wherever the Act was adopted, irritation subsided, and comparative tranquillity was introduced ; where it was not, resistance continued : the spirit of discontent gradually extended itself, and spreading into parishes where the compo sition had previously been readily paid, it at length broke out in open violence and outrage, and the collection of tithes, during he n the years 1831, 1832, an d 1833, was ent i re l y suspen d e d . T came the Act of 1832, which had no other fault except that of being ten years too late ; it enacted that compositions should be permanent, which were no longer paid ; it forced parishes to enter into composition when successful resistance had taught them to anticipate extinction ; it declared that from November, 1833, tenants at will, and by the year, should be exempted from the payment of tithe, and the liability should devolve on the landlord ; it enacted that all land let on lease after the passing of the Act, should be let tithe-free, and it offered a deduction of 15 per cent. to those landlords who should voluntarily take the payment of the composition on themselves. Such were the chief provisions of this Act ; had they formed part of that introduced in 1823, their value would now have been felt and acknowledged ; but in 1834 they were compara tively useless. The collection of tithe became, from day to day, more diffi cult ; the efforts of the Government in aid of the clergy proved ineffectual ; and such was the destitution to which they were reduced in many parts of Ireland, that Government was obliged to apply to Parliament to sanction the advance of a million to relieve their immediate and pressing necessities. This was the state of things at the commencement of the pre sent session, when the Bill now before the House was intro duced ; it abolished all compositions for tithes, and substituted in their room a land-tax of equal amount, to be levied by the Crown from the occupying tenantry, or from persons who, under the previous Acts, had become liable for the payment of the composition. From the money thus levied, a deduction of 15 per cent. was to be made to defray the expense of collection, and the remainder paid over to the Ecclesiastical Commission for the benefit of the Clergy. At the end of five years the Bill pro posed that in lieu of the land tax, payable by the tenantry, a rent charge of an amount less by 20 per cent. should be im posed on the landlords ; but it also proved that this bonus should be increased if a landlord came voluntarily forward and took upon himself the payment 'within two years : the rate of increase being regulated indirectly, according to the difficulty of collection, but not exceeding 40 per cent. The amount deducted from the clergy being limited to 20 per cent. the difference was to be made good from the Consolidated Fund, in the first instance, and to be afterwards repaid out of the surplus arising from the conversion of the leases of Bishops' lands into perpetuities, agreeably to the provisions of the Irish Church Temporalities Act of last session. Such are the principal provisions of the different enact ments on this important subject during the last ten years. The progress of the evil has been rapid and alarming ; the legislative remedies hitherto most tardy, timid, and inefficient. At first, temporary and voluntary composition was the utmost that could be obtained ; permanent and compulsory followed, but too late ; then came the offer 6f a bonus to the landlords, to prevail upon them to take the burden on their own shoulders ; but the bonus was inadequate to the risk and the danger. The present Bill followed, imposing the payment— under the conditions, and with the inducement we have men tioned—on the .landlord. The amendment brings into im mediate operation, at a somewhat greater pecuniary sacrifice, hut with this great advantage, that the Government are spared the odious task of becoming tithe-proctor for the whole of Ireland, and of continuing to be known to a pauper peasantry as their inexorable tax-gatherer. How difficult, as well as odious such a task must have been, may be ima gined, when we quote as an instance, not uncommon in the south of Ireland, that in one parish, con taining 2,000 tithe-payers, 1,200 payed less than 1/. each. We admit that it had become the duty of Government to un dertake this collection, though blood must have been shed in its enforcement. The law must be vindicated, even before it can be amended. We give them full credit for not shrinking from this duty—imposed upon them by misrule not their own—but we rejoice that the House of Commons has removed the necessity. From this time tithe will be merged in rent. The benefit to Ireland will be immediate and great, and the sickening scenes of violence and outrage—so far as they originate in the exaction of tithes, will be at an end. We dare not indulge the hope that perfect tranquillity will be the necessary consequence. So long as embarrassed landlords grind to the dust an impoverished tenantry---so long as they continue unchecked by poor laws, and utterly reckless of future consequences, to encourage excessive competition for land—so long must the degraded peasant, ‘ destitute of every comfort, be ready for midnight outrage ; and so long it is idle to dream of perfect peace. But this measure is a step in advance; and we hail it as conducive to that prosperity which we yet hope to see Ireland enjoying. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S PROTEST, The following protest against the third reading of the Dis. turbances (Ireland) Bill, has been entered on the Lords Journals : DISSENTIENT, First—Because the three clauses of the Act of the 3d Will. IV., c. 4., which it was the object of the motion to insert in the Bill, were calculated to prevent the evil existing in Ire land, which Parliament had upon former occasions declared to to be " dangerous to the public tranquillity"—" inconsistent with the public peace and safety, and with the exercise of regular Government." Secondly—Because the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has de clared that in his opinion the "agitation" (which it is the object of these clauses to prevent) " of the combined projects .for the abolition of tithes, and the destruction of the Union with Great Britain had, in every instance, excited andinflamed the disturbances existing in Ireland ;" which his Excellency has described as being " of a discontented, disorderly, and tur bulent character ;" such as "secret combination, concealed organization, suppression of all evidence of crime, and the am bition of usurping the Government, or ruling society by the authority of the common people, and of superseding the law by the decrees of illegal associations." That this system of agitation had for "its inevitable consequence combinations leading to violence and outrage ;" that they were " insepa rably cause and effect." Thirdly—Because his Majesty's servants have expressed, in strong terms, their concurrence in these opinions, of the Lord Lieutenant, and their sense of the necessity for adopting mea sures to meet the system of agitation; They have stated that it is impossible "that a perpetual system of agitation can be pursued without stirring up among the people a general spirit of resistance to the constituted authorities, which breaks out in excesses such as have been described." " That it is not safe to leave the Government unfurnished with the means to prevent an association, calling itself the Central Association of Dublin, assuming a political character, carrying on its pro ceedings with all the forms of Parliament, directing other associations throughout all parts of Ireland, and desiring a general organization, for the express and avowed purpose of carrying into effect measures which must be subversive of the security of the country, and destructive of all peace, order, and law." " That it is not consistent with justice to put down the liberties of the people in the country, but not in the city." " That Parliament should press hard with the weight of the loins upon the peasant, but not lay the weight of the little finger on those who, by their conduct, nourish and in crease excitement, and generally local agitation."—" If the effect, disturbance, and outrage, must be put down, the excit ing cause must be attended to likewise." "Itis an infraction of popular rights when power is given to prevent or put an end to public meetings ; but, it is not a greater infraction of the constitutional rights of the people, a more decided inva sion of the indisputable rights of the King's subjects, than is to be found in the sunset part of the Bill." "It is necessary to apply a legislative enactment to the exciting cause, as well as to the mischief which that excitement produces." Fourthly—Because the principle of the British Constitution, and the object of all our laws, from Magna Charta d own t o a recent period, have been to give protection to life and property, as well as to secure the liberty of the subject ; • which last has hitherto been considered as the means to attain and secure the first-mentioned objects. Fifthly—Because the protection of the subject .hy the So vereign, and the allegiance of the subject to the Sovereign are reciprocal duties. It appears, therefore, to be the duty of the two Houses of Parliament, convinced by the evidence laid be fore them of the state of disturbance, outrage, plunder, and murder existing in Ireland, of the insecurity of life and pro perty, of the misery and sufferings of the industrious peasantry and other classes, and of the discontinuance of all habits and pursuits of industry wherever these outrages prevail, to pass laws to enable his 11Iajesty, and those exercising his authority, effectually to prevent them if possible ; and to punish those guilty of exciting them. Sixthly—Because it appears from the papers laid upon the table of the House by his Majesty's Ministers, that the Act of the 3d William IV., cap. 4, wherever it had been carried into execution, had been effectual in preventing agitation, and in a great degree disturbance and outrage, and in bringing to trial those guilty of such offences. That witnesses had come forward to give their testimony of injuries done to themselves or others. That magistrates and juries had performed their duties, and that the districts of the country in which the Act had been enforced were beginning to feel the effects of returning tran quillity, security, and happiness. Seventhly—Because it is obvious that the Bill now under consideration, cannot prevent agitation in associations in large towns. Yet it is to these associations that the Lord Lieute nant attributes the system of violence and outrage, as effect to cause, and he states that he cannot separate the one from the other, in the unbroken chain of indissoluble connection by any effort of his understanding.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE GLASGOW AND PAISLEY STEAM -COACH.—Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon an accident of a most lamentable nature happened on the Paisley road, in the immediate vicinity of the Three-mile House, caused by the breaking down of one of the wheels of the steam-carriage, which left Glasgow at two o'clock. The vehicle had gained the summit of the acclivity, and was dash ing through the loose material which has been recently placed there, when, in a moment the right hand wheel gave way. The machine came to the ground with terrific violence—the boiler was crushed flat—the bottom of the carriage was blown in atoms, and all the passengers, twelve in number, were more or less injured. With such force did the steam rush out of the boiler that the burning cinders in the furnace, as well as the material on the road, were blown to a considerable distance. The woman belonging to the Three-mile House was slightly scalded, and a bed in the back room was set in flames, but speedily extinguished. Fourteen persons were more or less t injured, and Captain E. B. Gellmer, from Ireland, die d last night from the injuries he sustained, and three of the othe r passengers are not expected to recover. The accident is said r to have been occasioned by the defective nature of the wheel, the wood of which is stated to have been decayed.---Glasgow Free Press. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. In the past week there was a very large arrival of English, Irish, and Foreign Oats, and moderate quantities of all other Grain, with an inconsiderable return of Flour. The weather having been very wet, and retorts of the Wheat sprouting, caused a considerable i'dvance in Wheat on Friday, and other Grain was also dearer. Ibis morning there was a fair supply of most kinds of Corn, with many parcels of new Wheat, which are evidently worse in quality than the growth of the previous year. Al though the Wheat trade was not so brisk as on Friday, yet the sales to-day have realized an advance of ss. per quarter on last Monday's prices. Barley is also rather dearer. Beans may be quoted Is. per quarter higher. Boiling and Grey Peas remain as last stated. Oats have met a fair demand, at ls. per quarter ad vance on the terms of this day se'nnight.
