EAST INDIA HOUSE. (Confirmed from our Paper of Yesterday.) The security offered to the Company for the payment of 1034 per Cent. appeared to him to be amply sufficient. The circumstances of India would, he felt convinced, meet every claim of the Treasury. Here was . a revenue of 22,000,000 L, with strong promise of increase—a territory almost unlimited in extent—and a laborious, frugal, and industrious people. Such resources wisely managed were sufficient to meet every demand of the Treasury. The plan proposed by his Majesty's Government, that of granting an annuity of 630,0001., would secure to the proprietors of East India stock their dividends; it would keep up, and render more close, the connexion be. tween them and the Directors, and it gave them a direct money interest in the good government of India, while the separation of the commercial and political department would withdraw the attention of the Directors from various matters that at present too much occupied their time. What, he asked, was the Company called on to concede ? The China trade ? That monopoly would expire with the Charter of 1813. Here, therefore, there was nothing to give up. Was it political authority ? That was a pure gift from the British Par liament, for the benefit of England and the good of India, and might be altered precisely as Parliament pleased. There was here, then, no surrender ; but the Se. cret Committee said, " With every respect for his Ma jesty's Ministers, we decline to recommend to the Court of Proprietors the proposition contained in the 4th and sth paragraphs of hints transmitted to them on the 17th of December, 1632, because there is no probability what- ever of continuing the government of India profitably, so as to pay a dividend, after the loss of the China trade. A divi. dend of 10i per cent ought to be clearly secured to the Pro prietors ; that is the least to which the Company is entitled, as they are possessed of property sufficient to raise that sum if invested in Consols. That property consists in commercial assets, in pecuniary claims to a large amount, and in terri torial possessions, their title to which had not been im peached." Now, the property claimed as commercial assets was well known to be of a doubtful character, and to be subject to heavy liabilities. It would become a subject of adjudica tion, ;either by a Parliamentary commission, or by aibitra tion. This very proceeding would strike at the credit of the Company in the first instance. Proceedings of this de scription occupied a long time, and whilst they were pending the charter would expire, and the exclusive China trade be at an end. - How, then, were the dividends to be paid ? But sup pose the decision, and it was a very doubtful point, were finally given in favour of the Company, what would compensate them for the intermediate loss ? On the Ist of May, 1829, the com mercial property of the Company was estimated at '21,102,18 . 2/. It would be improper for him to assert that the different items of which this gross sum was composed would not by an im partial arbitrator be admitted to be correct. He might give what they claimed, but not without making certain deductions which could not fairly be resisted. Of the rights and privileges which the Company claimed in India many had been in abeyance for 70 years, and doubts might be raised as to the validity of the Company's title with respect to them. Looking to those points, the Company would, perhaps, see the necessity- of agreeing to the compromise which Government proposed. Supposing all the items in the account of property were ad. mitted, still grave questions of law would arise which affected the Company's claim. Ministers must deal with this case on the most enlarged principles of justice and policy and it was precisely for that reason that they hoped to obtain from Par liament full approbation of the plan which they intended to lay before it. By the proposed compromise both the territorial and commercial interests of the Company would be benefited. The resources of India were capable, he was convinced of meeting every demand that could be made on them. On the whole he in dulged a hope that the proposition which had been made would be found, when properly considered, favourable to the Company's affairs, and that the compromise now offered was such as would ultimately meet with the approving feelings of all par ties. He trusted that the Court of Directors would make a satisfactory arrangement with their constituents. If that, un fortunately, should n,,t be the case, still Ministers would not relinquish the hope of effecting the compromise, until the Pro prietors themselves positively decided against it. It was for them either to decline or to accept of the proposal. But he was bound to say, frankly and fairly, that Ministers, con vinced of the justice of the terms now offered, were prepared, in the event of a refusal, to propose a plan to Parliament for the government of India without the intervention or instru mentality of the Company.—(Hear, hear.) If the consent of the Company were not signified by the 23d of March, he should feel compelled to consider the Company as declining the pro posal.—(Hear, hear.) The last two sentences created a strong sensation in the Court. The next letter was from the chairman and deputy-chairman, to the Right lion. C. Grant, dated the 13th of February, in which, after acknowledging the receipt of the preceding letter, and stating that it should receive immediate consideration from the Court, in the interim they requested information on three points—lst, whether his Majesty's Ministers made it a condition of assigning to the Company the territorial government of India for a time fixed that the Company should relinquish its trade with India in perpetuity ; 2dly, whether it was to be a part of the proposed arrangement that the Company should assign to the Government those sums which it had subscribed by Act of Parliament ; and, 3dly, what were the terms (as to length of time) on which the an. nuity should he redeernahl,. A letter from Mr. Grant, dated the IRth of February, in reply to the above answered the first point by stating that the right of the Company to trade formed no part of the plan. It was not positively taken away, but should he considered in abeyance ; but Mr. Grant added, that as the capital :dock of the Company would be assigned, and as the trade to China was to be thrown open, and the pro fits thus be greatly reduced, the Company would probably not think the continuance of the trade worth their attention. To the second point the letter replied, that the whole of the commercial capital of the Company of all kinds should be given up, as all were involved in responsibility for its engage ment,. To the third, it answered, that Government would be disposed to give a very liberal latitude as to the redemption of the annuity, and was prepared to receive any suggestions of the Directors on that head. Minutes of the proceedings of secret committees prolonged by adjournment from the 18th to the 26 , h of February, at which the draught of a letter from the chairman and deputy.chairman to the Right Hon. C. Grant was discussed and agreed to, were then read. The letter so agreed to was then read. It commenced by acknowledg rig the receipt of Mr. Grant's letter (of the 12th of February), and also " th paper of hints," and in reply requested that Right Hon. Gentleman to submit their answer to Earl Grey and his colleagues. They stated that the Company owed great obligations to the people of India, that their prosperity and happiness were primary objects with the Com pany, and that, looking to those objects, they would not shrink from the responsibility of continuing the administration of the political government of that country, nor from resigning it if A good government of the country could be otherwise supplied ; but the consideration of that question was not now necessary, as the continuance of the Company in the political administration of the country formed part of the proposed plan. The ques. Lion to be considered was, whether the conditions on which the plan was proposed were good and such as the Company ought to accept. The plan was, in the first place, to annihilate the Company as a commercial body, and to confine it to the political government of the country. The Court greatly doubted the policy of that part of the plan ; as, deprived of the advantages which it derived from its trade and reduced to a state of dependence, the power of the Company to govern India would be greatly weakened, and, of course, its authority much diminished; that the patronage which such a dependent body could exercise would be dangerous, and the real power would be thus transferred to the hands of Government. They deprecated the increased power to be given to the Board of cotrol, in the authority to be given to it over all expenditure, and the whole of the establishment at home. The ur'trt did not believe that it was the intention to make the Court a :.:overnment Board, for if such were its intention it would openly avow it; but certainly the plan which it pro posed had that tendency; they therefore hoped that Govern ment would reconsider this part of their plan. The Court acted here as the representatives of the people of India; they admitted that it was in that character they had any claim to ask the continuance of the trade with China, as a means which enabled them to carry on the government of India. The letter then briefly pointed out the advantages of the commerce of the Company, which had, within the last charter, made it unneces sary to borrow 17,000,0001. for territorial purposes. The Court could not concur in the view taken by the Right lion. Gentle. man of the prospective financial prosperity of India, and they feared that if deprived of the advantages of the China trade, the territorial revenue of the country would not be sufficient to enable that Government to meet its engagements. It had been stated that much of the benefit derived by the Company from its commerce might be considered in the light of a tax upon the people of this country. The Court conld not view it in this light, and they referred to the report of a Committee of the House of Commons in 1830, which showed that the Company derived no more than a fair profit from its capital. If the merchants who should engage in the trade with India and China should derive a simil,r profit, could that be fairly said to be a tax on the community ? But let it be considered that in the proposed arrangement, besides the profit of the traders to India and China, the public would have to provide the expense of collecting the duty on tea, which the Company had hitherto saved it.—(Hear, hear.) 'no Court added, that if Government were determined to separate the territorial government from the trade to India, they (t;;e Directors) would do all in their power to lessen its incianventeriej; but they must hope that more and complete powers would ke elven to them for that purpose. The Court doped that the public might derive all the benefits which were anticipated from the opening of the China trade, but they greatly feared that the hopes thus held out would not be realized. Experience had shown, that tliat trade was at tended with many difficulties, which, no doubt, would be considerably incr ased when it came into the hands of private traders. One result which was expected from throwing open the trade to China was art increased vent for British com modities in that coun tr y , but the Americans, who were, next to England, the most enterprising commercial nation, h a d already tried toe experiment by taking out British go o d s thither, and they had not found it to answer. Captains of Bricsh Indiamen had also mad: the attempt, but with as little success. Considering the peculiar habits and laws of China, any valuable extension of our trade, by the export of British manufactures to China, was a thing which could not be cal. culated upon with any prospect of success. Difficulties, ire. q uently arose in the intercourse of the Com p any with China owing to the regulations of the Chinese, over which the Corn. pany had no control, but which it sometimes required all the influence and the skill and addresi of their agents to surmount. Such difficulties would present obstacles to the private trader which it would be sometimes impossible to overcome. The trade with China had not been as profitable in the last term of the Company's Charter as it had been in the preceding. The amount of exports had increased, but a great portion of them consisted of cotton goods, which, by the great improve. ment in our machinery, we were enabled to send out; but if this article, which was not sent out to any amount in the former term, were excepted, there would be a con siderable diminution in the exports of the last term. The China trade was one chiefly of remittance, and the Com. pany would have made it more profitable if they had made it wholly so; but in their zeal to promote the introduction of British manufactures, they had made one-third of their trade consist of British manufactures. The great value of the pri vate trade to China was in opium, which, being prohibited by the Chinese regulations, was introduced by smuggling, and there was reason to fear that, in the course of time, the whole trade would be one of smuggling, which might lead to its total abolition. The Right Hon. Gentleman had assumed that there would be a greater consumption of tea and a larger in troduction of British goods into China by throwing open the trade. In this the Court could not concur. They did not think that there would be an increase, but they believed that the quality of the tea imported would be greatly deteriorated. • • " The tea trade being confined to the Hong, there would, in the absence of the agents of the Company, be no means of checking the sending out of tea of an inferior quality. It was only by the most vigilant inspection on the part of the Company's agents at Canton that it was at present prevented. Let it not also be forgotten that the country derived no in considerable advantage from the revenue on tea, amounting to 3,000,0001. or 4,000,0001. a year, in the collection of which all expense was saved to the country by the Company. If the trade were thrown open, it would he necessary to have an officer of this Government resident at Canton ; but that officer could not possess the same influence in regulating any squabbles or differences between the private traders and the natives which the agents of the Company had at present. The officers of the Company could often pass over many matters which a resident " British officer, the representative of his Sovereign, would feel bound to resent, and thus we might be involved in serious hos tilities for matters which the known influence of the Company wth.ld succeed in bringing to an amicable termination. In case of any sudden interruption of the trade at present, no incon venience could occur to the public, as the Company was bound by law to have two years' stock on hand ; but when that stock was out, and the trade thrown open, this advantage would be lost to the community, and a sudden suspension of the trade would be attended with serious inconvenience. After re- marking on the large amount of territorial revenue necessary to secure the proposed annuity and the willingness of the Com pany to permit a full investigation of all th cir accounts, the latter went on to observe that by the proposed plan the dends were to be paid by the sale of the stock in hand till 1836 ; but if, in the mean time, there should be a deficiency in the territorial revenue, and that aid were found necessary for carrying on the government of India, the most serious incon _ venience would result. In alluding to the doubt expressed in Mr. Grant's letter, as to whether, legally, the whole of the commercial capital and stock in trade of the Company were not liable for the ter' itorial debts, the Directors thought that the territory and the territorial debt should go together.—(Hear.) If they were not, what was to become of the servants appointed in India ?—what was to become of the army, which had been recognised by many Acts of Parliament ? The Court of Directors had no objection to a fair compromise, :and in looking at the annuity of 630,0001. charged on the territo rial revenue of India, the Court had a right to expect that some collateral security should be given for the payment of that annuity ; that something like a sinking fund should be established, which, affording such collateral security, should afterwards go to the redemption of the territorial debt. It was said that the right of the Company to trade was to be placed in abeyance ; but as the Company was to surrender up thew hole of their trading capital, there ought to be full time allowed them for winding up the whole of their concerns. They, therefore, had a fair right to claim that the trade to China should not be thrown open till the stock of tea which the Company was bound to keep on hand should be disposed of; there should also some provision be made for those ser vants in the Company's employment who might be thrown out of employment by the proposed plan. In conclusion, they ex pressed a hope that the Government would not force the sub ject on to discussion, as stated in the Right Hon. Gentleman's letter, in which he fixed a day for the final answer of the Court of Proprietors. The next document read was a letter from Mr. C. Grant, dated March 14, in answer to the above, in which he stated, that without intending any disrespect to the Court, and wish. ing to have it understood that his silence on any particular Point in the letter of the Directors was to be taken as implying his assent to it, he would confine himself to the main points of the last letter addressed to him. The letter then proceeded to state, that by the proposed arrangement the power of the Court of Directors 'would not be weakened; the Couit and the India Board would have compai atively the same power as at present; that the Government had no wish to prevent the Court from rewarding efficients by pensions and grants, but that it should be borne in mind that all these were on the ter ritorial revenue of India. The Government thought that there could be no difficulty about the payment of the annuity, but it had no objection to provide a collateral security, and therefore it would agree to invest the sum of 1,200,0001., a part of the commercial assets of the Company, In Government securities, to be applicable to the redemption of the annuity of 630,0001.—that this sum was to go on accumulating, until it reached the sum of 12,000,0001., after which any surplus in terest on it was to be applied in reduction of the territorial debt; that the Government was ready to pay the sum of 1,200,0001. and odd, due to the Company, or to retain it as a loan, paying interest for it, or to invest it in government se. curities as a nucleus of the guarantee fund; the Government was not prepared to make any further concession. It would consider tile subject of making a due provision for those ser vants of the Company who might be thrown out of employ ment by the new plan ; it would also admit that all the obliga. tions of the Company were to go to the Government with the assets,—the arrangements for eaucating the young men who were to be sent out to India in the Company's service would be subject of future regulation. In conclusion, he expressed a hope that the subject wound be submitted by the Directors to the Court of Proprietors with as little delay as possible. He had no wish to adhere to the dates he had mentione.i in a former letter, but he hoped that no time would be lost in bringing it forward, as he was anxious to submit the matter to Parliament on as early a day as possible. The next document read contained the minutes of the Court of Directors in Secret Committee on the 16th and 18th of March, on which a draught of a letter from the Chairman and Deputy Chairman was presented and adopted, with an amendment to the effect that the guarantee fund should be 3,000,0001. The letter thus amended was approved. It stated that the Direc tors had hoped to be able to communicate the correspondence of the Right Hon. Gentleman to the Court of Proprietors which was to meet on the 20th ; but they found that there were still some points on which it wished to communicate further with the Government. The Company was asked to surrender all it possessed as a corporation,—its capital stock, amounting to upwards of 21,000,0001.,—its right to trade with India, by which it had an immense advantage in connection with its ter. ritorial possessions, and by the continuance of which right it might greatly injure the private traders,—all its forts and property to which it had a right; that the Court of Directors was disposed to consent to a compromise for an annuity of 630,0001. ; that it did not think the prospective view of the financial condition of India was so promising as the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated it, but that it would do all in its power to render it it as productive as it could be made. The Court were glad to hear the proposition of making the debt due to the Company a part of a guarantee fund, but they thought that that fund ought to be increased so as to have it large enough to meet any deficiencies that might arise as to territorial revenue. The Court also hoped that the Government would make the term of the annuity one of considerable length. It likewise wished that means should be adopted for securing the independence of the Court of Di rectors, or otherwise the charm of its influence in India would vanish. There was no necessity for taking away the power which the Company now possessed of granting pensions and re munerations; they hoped that the transfer was only a technical mode of effecting the arrangement, and the Court would still have the power of appropriating the funds as before. They also expressed a wish that the Company might be considered as agents to the private trade, as, by that means, the Government would be saved the expense of making a provision for a large body of men who must otherwise be thrown out of employment. The next letter was from Mr. C. Grant, dated March 22, in which he declined to re-open the discussion respecting the gua. rantee. It was the intention of the Government that the an nuity should not be redeemed in less than 40 years. As to the political authority of the Company in India, the Government could not make the same arrangement as to length of time. They would leave that question open for future discussion. The next letter was from Mr. C. Grant to the chairman, dated Great George-street, March 16, in which he said that he would fix the redemption of the annuity at the time when the guarantee fund would amount to 6,000,000/., which would be in about 40 years, to be redeemed by the payment of 100/. fur every 51 ss. of annuity. The period of the political power of the Directors in India would be about fifteen years : but he thought it better to leave that indefinite, and not to name a particular time in the Act of Parliament. The letter also hinted at the probable diminution of the number of the Directors, as they would not have as many subjects to oc cupy their attention as heretofore, Another letter was read from the same Right Hon. Gentleman, dated India Board, March 21, in which he acknowledged the letter of the Direc tors in which, amongst other things, they stated that sufficient security was not given for the payment of the annuity, and com plained that the duration of the political power of the Court was not to be of the same length as that of the annuity. He thought it better to leave that matter open for future discussion, and to have the time left indefinite. He assured the Court that he would co-operate with them in making provision for those officers and servants of the Company who might be thrown out of employment by the proposed arrangement, but the Right Hon. Gentleman declined to make'any alteration as to the du ration of the political power of the Court in India, as he consi dered that the arrangement already proposed for limiting that duration to the period he had mentioned to be one of the vital parts of the measure. The next letter was from the Chairman and Deputy Chair. man to Mr. C. Grant, and dated March 22, informing him of their having called a general Court, for the purpose of commu nicating to the proprietors the correspondence which had taken place. The Court of Directors did not think that the time was yet arrived when they could propose any particular course to the Court, but they could not recommend to them any measure at present, as they found that the Government did not intend to continue the political power of the Company in India during the ' time in which their interests were to be concerned.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that the Court had seen from , the last letter from Mr. Grant that the Government de. dined to deviate from what they considered the vital prin. ciple which he had proposed. Since they had come into Court he bad received a letter from the Right Honourable the Secretary of the Board of Control, with some explana. tions on the subject, and although, in the usual course of the proceedings, it would have been his duty to have submitted that letter, in the first instance, to the Court of Directors, he, atter consulting with one or two friends, was determined to take upon himself the responsibility of having the letter read to the Court of Proprietors at once.—(Hear.) The letter was then read, dated this day, in which the Right Hon Secretary of the Beard of Control thanked the Court of Directors for the information they had given him, regretted that the Court had not acceded to the proposed scheme, and stated that he could not allow the great question at issue to be referred to the Court of Proprietors, without vin dicating Ministers from an imputation which had been cast upon them, that their plan would do away with all good government in India, and aasuring the Court of Directors that Ministers had ng other object in view in the plan they had proposed, than e general advantages of the empire. The CHAIRMAN said, that as the whole of the letters had been now read, he felt quite sure it would be the wish of the Court of Proprietors, as well as of the Court of Directors, that they should be printed for the use of the Proprietors generally ; and he should therefore now move that the papers which had been read should be printed. The CHAIRMAN then put the question to the Court, and declared it carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then said, as he had anticipated the unanimous vote the Court would give on this subject, he had to inform them that the papers were already in the hands of the prin ers, and thlt he had every expectation that they would be ready for delivery in that Court to-morrow. The next point for the consideration of the Court would be, as to the period to which the Court should adjourn the meeting for the consideration of the vital question now under considera. tion. The general course on former occasions had been, that the Court of Proprietors should meet within a fortnight. He was fully aware, however, of the extraordinary importance of this question, and of the sweeping changes which were to be male.—(Hear, hear.) He would, therefore, take the opinion of the Court as to whether the Proprietors would be prepared to meet and consider this subject on Monday or Tuesday in next week, or whether they would postpone it for a longer period. If they postponed it at all, they must be aware that the week following would be Easter week, and that the week after that would close the Direction. Therefore, unless it be taken up next Monday, or Tuesday, it must be postponed until Monday the 15th of April. He would wait to hear the wishes of the Proprietors.— (Hear, hear.) Sir JOHN MALCOLM stated, that having listened at tentively to the whole of the correspondence between the Company and the Government, he was firmly of opinion that they involved the full and mature consideration of every branch of the Company's Indian government. As they would have to be brought forward either next Tuesday or after Easter, he for one did not think, judging frum his own experience, which was not a little, that he could give the sub. ject that consideration it deserved before the 15th of April— (Hear, hear)—he meant as soon as was possible after Easter, and he proposed that the Court be adjourned until the 15th. Mr. POYNDER seconded the motion, and while on his legs he begged to be permitted to state—(Loud cries of" Oh, oh," and "Question.") He really was not aware that he had forfeited his claim to the attention of that Court, upon the magnitude of the subject before them.--(Here a general cry of " Oh," and groaning, compelled Mr. Poynder to appeal to the Chair, stating that he was only desirous of speaking to the question before the Court.) The CHAIRMAN said that the Hon. Gentleman was in consequence in order, but it had been thought that he was going to speak upon some other subject. Mr. POYNDER said, on rising to remark on the great im portance of the documents which had been read,- he thought it was competent to him to observe the great regret and astonishment which he felt at seeing that no notice whatever was taken in that correspondence, upon a subject of much snore vital importance.—(A general cry of " Question," and "Chair," prevented Mr. P. from proceeding for some time,when, upon a short silence being obtained, he went on.) Before the last charter was granted, the father of the Right Hon. Charles Grant provided for the religion of the people of India.—(An other general cry prevented the Hon. Gentleman from proceed ing any further.) The CHAIRMAN then put the question of adjournment, which was carried. Mr. POYNDER, addressing the Chairman, said he wished to give notice of a motion. The CHAIRMAN informed him that it was too late, for the question of adjournment had been carried The Court then broke up. THE MAKKETS.-t THIS DAY.) HAY MARKEO , ..—.‘ ti. per Load of 36 Trusses.)

In the House of Commons last night, the Naval Estimates were the chief topics of consi deration. Mr. HOME objected to them on the principle that a knowledge of ways and means should precede any expenditure of public money, but his motion was opposed by Lord ALTHORP for the reason, that as the financial year closes on the sth of April, it is impossible, until it is at an end, for any Chancellor of the Exche quer to tell the House the exact position in which it stands as respects its financial means. Mr. Humes motion consequently fell to the ground. lirthe course of the discussion, Sir E. COD - RINGTON made some spirited allusion to the unfair way in which pensions, &c., were distri buted to the members of the naval profession that some were overpaid (especially those in the civil department of the navy), and others, among whom were officers of acknowledged skill gallantry and experience, as much underpaid. The Gallant Admiral went on to comment on the retiring salary paid to Mr. CROKER and the pension to his niece, which brought forward Mr. GOULBURN, who, in the true spirit of chivalry, took up the gauntlet in defence of the Right Hon. Ex-Secretary. The Sixth Report of the Petition Committee is now before us, and presents the astounding number of 462 petitions and 309,245 signa tures against the Irish Disturbances Bill. Of these the most remarkable are those from Mac clesfield, with 2,737 signatures ; Templemichael and Langton, with 1,259; Kilarenly, Wicklow, with 1,108 ; Arklow, 1,182 ; Todmorden, 1,810 ; Sedgley, 1,035 ; Wigan, 4,276 ; South Shields, 1,007 ; Bradford, 2,337 ; Templemore, 1.216 ; Salford, 3.423 ; Kill and Kilmanahan, 1,915 ; Merthyr 1) dvil, 4,710 ; P:eston, 1,535 Colne, 3,220 ; Kidderminster, 2,004 ; S:.

The Sabbath Petitions amount to 198, and the signatures to 49.192. Those p r aying for the abolition of slavery to 115, and have 32,254 signatures. Those in favour of the Factories' Bill are 29 in number, and are signed by 31,329 persons. At length, after occupying nearly two months o f t he first session of a Reformed Parliament, to the exclusion ofahnost all the other important measures that urgently claim the attentio❑ of the Legislature, the IRISH BILL (much modi fied, as we predicted), has passed through the Committee of the House of Commons. Had this time been devoted to discussing and passing remedial measures, more might have been already effected towards the permanent tranquil lization of Ireland than the Bill is ever likely to accomplish. O❑ nearly every division, however, the Bill has been supported by fearful majori ties, the Tories having united with the Govern ment, from a double motive, first, an inherent love of despotism, and secondly, an eagerness to aid the Goveinment in passing a Bill that could not fail to damage them in the estimation of the reflecting pint of the public. By this unnatural union the II ish Members have, as it were, been swamped, forty-seven Irish Members having voted against the 10,h clause (the courtmartial clause) while the combined influence of Minis. ters, Tories, and Orangemen was only able to induce 18 to vote in its favour, though the gross majority was 140. There is something contradictory in the pro visions of the Bill—its avowed objects, and the arguments adduced in its support. The law is violated in Ireland, and, by way of remedy, the Bill deprives the Irish people of the benefit of all law, and delivers them over to courtsmartial. The Bill, ostensibly brought forward to re press violence, as originally framed, authorized acts (the breaking open of houses, imprisonment in private dwellings, &c.) of greater violence than any its enforcement could hope to put down ! One of the alleged grounds on which the Bill is attempted to be justified, is, that in Ireland jurors and witnesses are so intimidated that it is impossible culprits can be tried, or the law en forced ; nevertheless, out of 38 cases cited, 37 convictions were obtained ; and, during the protracted discussions on the Bill, the law has asserted its supremacy, and practically refuted this calumny, juries having been empannelled, witnesses attended and examined, convictions obtained and enforced, up to the hour of our penning these remarks. When Mr. STANLEY introduced the Bill into the House of Commons, did he address himself to the calm dispassionate reason of the Members ?—No. He began with a flourish (hailed with cheers by his Tory allies), that if the Bill did not pass (right or wrong) Ministers would resign ! Instead of the understanding, he appealed to the fears men entertain of the return of a Tory Government, in order to insure the passing of a worse than Tory Bid ! The threat he uttered, however, receiled on himself ; and, in the sequel, he found it expedient to implore the House to grant him their con fidence, and not to throw out the Bill—that, we presume, he might be saved from the same fate. When the Bill shall be passed, what will be the state of time remedial measures brought forward and promised ? The Irish Church Reform Bill has been stayed by a technicality, though many Members were induced to support the Coercive Bill, on the faith that this and other remedial measures were to accompany it ; and on the subject of tithes—that all-important matter to the peace of Ireland—nothing is yet clearly or distinctly known of the inten tions of Government. In order to get the Coercive Bill through the Committee, it is true that a measure has been promised to afford relief ; but fears are generally entertained, in circles usually well informed, that the promised measure will at best prove only a half measure, and intended to perpetuate, in some new shape, rather than abate, that grievous nuisance. Indeed many persons most conversant with Irish affairs and politics, still confidently assert that the great object of the Coercive Bill, is to enforce the collection of tithes ; and we confess, looking at Mr. STANLEY'S conduct since he has been Irish Minister, there appears much to justify such apprehensions. In a former session the Right Hon. Gentle man, in the ardour of debate, when the honest feelings of an Englishman momentarily over came those of the Irish Secretary, pronounced that tithes were extinguished, thus tantalizing the Irish people with hope, only to make them feel the bitterness of disappointment ; for he almost immediately brought in a Bill to enforce the collection of tithe ; that was followed by thousands of oppressive prosecutions which, in most cases, proved abortive, and then came the Coercive Bill ! Moreover, the reply of Mr. STANLEY, when taxed in the House with having bro ,ght forward the Bill to enforce the collection of tithe, is remarked to have been invariably weak, evasive, and equivocal; he denies, it is true, that the Bill is so intended, but his denial is always qualified with the an nouncement that the Bill is intended to protect property, and (inter alia) the property of the CHURCH—expretsions from the lips of Mr. STANLEY, that, looking to the past and the future, appear of painfully expressive impart. The good sense and right feeling of the country, however, there is little doubt, will ultimately in sure these maters being placed on a sound and proper footing. We learn on good authority that the Pedroites have succeeded in landing eighty-seven bullocks and some ammunition at Oporto. As regards the affair of the 4th, the latest accounts con firm the intelligence that it was attended with very disastrous consequences to the Miguelites, who first made the sortie with a body of 6,000 men, for the purpose of dispossessing the Pe droites of a redoubt between the Foz and Oporto, but were repulsed after a hot contest, with the loss, as is conjectured, of about 1,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners. A most numerous meeting of the Vestrymen of St. Giles in the Fields, and St. George, Bloomsbury, assembled in vestry yesterday, pursuant to special notice, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the Repeal of the House and Window Tax, when it was resolved, that a petition fiorn the vestry, and other inhabitant householders, be forthwith prepared and presented, on this imptstant suoject.
