In the House of Lords the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill went through nnittee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday. Oe . 4 9 use adjourned at Nine o'Clock; , . In the House of COMmons the Earl of 11/Ancn moved the second' reading of the Brighton and Chi., chester'Railivay Colonel WYlpliAm and the. Earl 'of • ARUNDEL opposed the motiou. A division took place; when • the Second reading was carried by a majority of 51. The Stratford and Thames Junction Railway Bill, the Cym Celyn and Maim Iron Company Bill, and the Colchester and Harwich Railway Bill, were read' a second time. • On the motionthat the London and South-Western Railway Bill be read a second time, Mr. WALLACE objected to several clauses of the Bill, as they en abled the Company to act as wharfingers, custom house-agents, steam-boat proprietors, and in several other capacities inconsistent with their duty as rail way proprietors. Mr. LABOUCBERE thought ,the objection of Mr. WALLACE was well founded, but it might be taken into consideration on bringing up the Report. Mr. GLADSTONE concurred with the Hon. Member, and the Bill was read a second time. Mr. M. MILNES gave, notice of an amendment, on Lord PALMERSTON'S motion relative to the slave trade, to the ..effect that the mutual right of search was only temporary, and should be at all times under the con trol of the Governments whowere parties to the treaty. Some other notices of motion were;given, and ques tions put to the Government, which are briefly stated in the Parliamentary report. Colonel WOOD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to exempt lime from toll conveyed on any turnpike road in Wales. Mr, HUME opposed the motion ; the Bill was intended only for the landlords, and he did not see jyy► they should'enjoy such an exemptiOn. Sir CH ALES' MORGAN was also opposed to the mea sure. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was decidedly opposed to the exemption, but he would not opplse the introduction of the Bill, as he thought it ought to printed and sent down to Wales, in order that the opinion of the . people in that quarter might be ascer tained. On a diviSion leave was given to bring in. the Bill by a majority of'26. Mr. Hurl' moved that corn imported from British , possessions in South 'Africa, India,- and Australasia, be subjected to the 'same duty as that 'paid on corn imported from Canada. The motion was rejected by a majority of 70. Sir G. STAUNTON then madd a motion for granting a pension to the survivors of the late Doctor Moanisox, for his services in China. After a lengthened_ discussion, the motion was with drawn, and the House adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. The Easter holidays commence next week, Par liament of course, is to be adjourned for the usual period, great numbers of Members are already on the wing to enjoy themselves at their country seats, and the public may therefore justly ask what their repre sentatives have done during two months. Questions of vast importance should have been brought before either the lazy House of Lords or the talking House of Commons ; but has there been one measure 'in which the people can Jake the slightest interest in , troduced into either House ? While Ir e l an d i s groaning under oppressions which no other portion of the United Kingdom submitted to, which England - and Scotland resisted as, one man, and which are a disgrace to the age,- the wstrong Ministry," it is•true, adopt strong measures;-but they are the measures of the despot. Troops are sent into Ireland, the best friends of the country (for Mr. O'CONNELL, with all• his faults; is - her "truest friend) are persecuted, juries are packed, newspaper reporters arebribed, and every scheme is adopted by the High Church party to irritate that country against the Government. N o remedy is proposed for the evils which afflict Ireland, and which are unparalleled in any European State. The Tories rejoice in punishment, and Ireland knows it well. But what have the Government, during these two inonth,, done, for England ? They have reduced the Threefand-a-Half per Cents. They have robbed certain fundholdera of a portion. of their annuities. Have they made any compensation.? Have they proposed any measure which can alleviate the burdens of, the people ? The enormous duties on sugar,. and corn, and tea, the articles chiefly consumed. the working classes, are to re main as they are, and whiie the poor are starving, the country gentlemen retire to their' seats to enjoy the amusements of hunting and rac i ng. A system like this cannot prosper ; and we are glad to find that even one of . the Tory party is so con vinced of the iniquity of the Government that he shakes off the dust of his feet against them. Last session was emphatically called the "Do-nothing session,", and the Government were named the " Do-nothing Government." Have they improved? Was-there ever such a miserable exhibition made by a weak Government as has been made under that' Go vernment which boasts of the support of the Church, the wealth i and the intelligence of the country ? .There is not one measure of the slightest interest which they have - pro - posed or intend-to carry. These high Conservatives sneer at the French Chambers, they sneer also at the French people;' but what "a'• noble contrast does France exhibit compared with " r "t 7A T r > THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, IVIARCH 27, 1844. England, in her Parliamentary legislation. Every measure M. GUIZOT has proposed—and his reforms are not few—has been triumphantly carried through both Chambers. He has defeated every opposition to his policy, he has also carried with him the almost universal voice of his country; while Sir ROBERT PEEL can carry nothing, can do nothing, and remains like the ass between two loads of hay. A Ministry like this cannot last. The English are an active people. They will go a-head; and cast off allegiance to a Government which seems determined to stand still, and, what is of more importance, has no"fixed principles of action. One part of the Cabinet is hostile to the other. STARLET., and Eirrori, and GRAHAM, thwart PEEL in all his move ments ; and the Prime Minister of England, at the present moment, is possibly the most helpless being in the United Kingdom. The Whigs did something —they introduced and carried many useful mea sures ; they unfortunately forgot the interests of their best supporters ; but, after all, they were an active, stirring race ; they kept the public mind alive to questions of great national importance, and were only deterred by the House of Lords from doing justice to the country. What has Sir ROBERT PEEL, with - both Houses at his back, done.? He has reduced the duty on pickles, and corned beef, and live bullocks, and 'every grievance of which the country complains is yet to be redressed ! The Dublin Evening Mail—the clever but unscrupu lous organ of the Irish Orange party--is just now in a grievous state of tribulation and discomfiture. It may seem ungenerous that we should derive enjoyment from the manifest afflictions of our Contemporaries, but we must honestly confess that the groans of this desperate Tory partisan are "music to our souls." Not a wail he utters, but it comforts us like a cordial, and the deeper his sorrows the greater is our sense of satisfaction. At the present moment he is plunged " full fathom five " in an abyss of despondency, and all because Sir Itonkirr PERL lias intimated by letter to the Irish Go vernment that no promotions are in future to be made in the spotless Protestant Establishment of that country, unless to such of the clergy as shall consent to support the national system of education, and place their schools under the control of the National Board! Though the Standard, with a considerate regard for our Contem porary's anguished sensibilities, endeavours to comfort him by the assurance that the Premier has intimated nothing of the sort to the Irish Government, yet the, Mail, like RACUEr, , " refuSeth to be comforted," and insists on the strict truth of its statement in the follow - ing impressive spirit :—" We repeat, in the most em phatic terms of which language is capable, that such a communication as that we have mentioned, has been made within the last month, and that a deter mination of acting upon that despotic declaration has been subsequently announced." 'As if this were not emphatic enough, our Contemporary adds Every word of our statement is' strictly and accurately true -; and, alai, there is much more that we might have said, but which, in the exercise of a fallible discretion, we deemed it a duty to reserve." How much meaning is there'in that one little. touching monosyllable" alas !" What a tale of sorrow does it not unfold ! Then, how signi fidant are the words, " there is much more that we might have said!" The Mail has evidently not yet disburthened himself of half hiS griefs; grave causes for despondency still remain shut up in the sanctuary of his own breast; and there; no doubt, they will remain until he can find heart enough to reveal them to a sympathising public. It is an inexpressible comfort to us thus to learn, on his own explicit ,declaration,' that our Contemporary has good grounds for sorrowing. We derive - a wenderful encouragement. from the spectacle of his tears, know ing, .as we do, that they- flow from no worthier 'cause than the " heavy blow 'arid great dis couragement ": dealt by Sir ROBERT . PEEL to Protest ant intolerance in Ireland. If it really be true, as the Mail so cOnfidentlyinsists, that the Prettier has come to the determination of promoting no more bigots in the Irish Church, he has taken by far the wisest stcip that either he or any of , his Colleagues have tak9n, since their entrance upon office. To show favour to such of the clergy only as shall "consent to support the national system of education," is to reward the liberal and the meritorious, to place a check on the arro&nce and assumption of priestoraft, and, by so doing, to lay the foundation of a sound, tolerant, practical, educational sys tem in Ireland. Protestant and Catholic have too long been instructed apart from each other ; they have too long been taught to regard each other, with feelings of distrust and jealousy just as if both were not members of the great Christian community ; and any attempt, on the part of Sir ROBERT PEEL, to do away with this line of demarcation, to repress this odious spirit of party, to in troduce more charitable feelings, and set the warm springs of sympathy flowing in a fuller and stronger stream—any' such attempt as this, we say, deserves the approbatien and support of every honest and enlightened man in the kingdom. It is much to the credit of the late Government that they, were the first to project - this , improvement in the Irish system of education ; and we do hope to - see it actively , and ener=. getically followed up by, the present 4inistry, for it is a reform that 'cannot fail to bring blessings in its train, and tend greatly—and this at no distant'period—to put a stop to those party strifes, those unworthy feelings of estrangement between Catholic and Protestant, that 'have so long been- the curse of the 'sister country. We are, however, by •no means so firmly persuaded as is the D u blin Evening Mail, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has come to the determin a ti on t o promote no Irish clergymen hut such as 'Will support the national system of education.. We can only, hOpe that that is true, which our Contemporary broadly de clares to be 'a fact that admits of not a shadow of doubt. The accounts from. Madrid; which are of the 19th inst., are Of the same frightful character. The journals in one column describe the moVeraents of the Court at Aranjuez, and in another the Wholesale murders com mitted in the prOvinces. It appears that hot less than thirty-five persons haie been shot for the insurrection . against a despotic Government at Alicant, and sixty fi ve'pore are doomed to the same fate, without the seta :lance of ,a trial: RO,NCALI remained inactive bef(;)re' Carthagena, for the want, it is said, of heavy artillery. But with that he can dispense. He has only to bribe some half a dozen of renegade Spaniards,. as at Alicant, who will betray their -nearest friend's, and make him master of the place. France and England, who could check such scenes of horror, and who have so often in terfered for political purposes, incur a heiyy responsibi lity by their cold-blooded indifference towards the fate of the unhappy victims. * The Paris Moniteur of Monday publishes the following telegraphic dispatch from Africa:— " GENERAL DE' BAR TO THE MINISTER OFINVAH. " "On the 4th the Duke A'Aurnale entered Biskara withixit Striking a blow; and was well received in the place. The villages of the Ziban follewed the example of that small capital.- " The Prince was on the Bth at Sidi Okba, a day's march to the south of Biskara. The chiefs of the wandering tribes had all repaired to his camp. " His Royal Highness was to have left Biskara on the 13th, and marched towards Mount Aure.s. • "Ben-Ahmet-Ben-Hadja, the Khaliph of Abd-el-Kader, abandoned by all his followers, had fled in the direction of Mount Aures. ",The sanatory condition of the troops is excellent; the Princes are in good health." • . , Another telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne announces the arrival of Queen CHRISTINA. at Aranjuez, on the 21st, where great rejoicing took place. The Phan' of Bayonne. furnishes the following intelligence, which 'forms a sad contrast to the scenes going on at Court. "Four of the persons who were 'condemned 'to death at Barcelona, on the 17th, on a charge of conspiracy, were shot on the 18th. One was 'a notary, another was orie of the chiefs of the last insurrectionary movement at Bar celona, and the other two were persons in trade. Two of the females who were arrested on the same charge have been tried, and'sentenced,oae to six years, and the other to two years' imprisonment. . M. BERRYEA toot, his seat in the Chamber of Depu ties oh Monday. -No buiiness of the slightest inter es t was transacted in, either - Chamber on that 'day. The funds were a shade lower, the Three per Cents. having closed at 83£ 5c., and the Fives at - 122f. 45c. ; The 'fol lowing are, additional extracts from the papers : " A Madrid journal having stated that M. Darinon, who was decapitated by order of the Emperor- of Morocco, was the representative of Messrs. Salavy and Co., of Marseilles,. th ose gentlemen have addreeSed a letter to the Marseilles journals, in which they say : - • " M. Victor Darmon was one of our correspondents, but. neither he nor any other person was our representative at Morocco. He was established at Casablanca, where he ful filled the functions of Spanish', Consular agent. It appears that his enemies had injured him With the Emperor of Mo rocco, as he was fo rced to leave Casablanca for 'Mazaga, and remain there until further orders. It was there that he, was beheaded on January 25th by the. Emperor's direction, with- , out, any one's being able to make out up to thepresent day the cause of this s ever i ty.

There are no colonial late arrivals this morning. The amounts from New York,which we only, briefly noticed yesterday, give the following interesting commercial infor mation : "The immense receipts at our Custom-house for duties on imports, and the great value of,the merchandise that pro duces this revenue, is of the utmost importance to the Go vernment and the community. The quantities of foreign goods daily arriving in this country will soon create a surplus stock, and fill the market with supplies greater than the heaviest trade anticipated can reduce. " The receipts at this port for Customs for the past week amounted to 493,587 dollars. .This is only a little more than half those of the week previous. The cause of this falling off was the non-arrival of packets, not one coming in during the week. "REVENUE FROM CUSTOMS AT TMIS FORT. Total receipts for January, 1844 1,874,682 dole, Do. from Ist to 24th February 2,016,587 Estimated receipts from Feb. 24 to March 1 507,000 Total receipts for the first two months in 1844 4,398;269 " This averages ' more than two millions a month. It is estimated that the average duty paid on the imports of this year will not vary much from 33 per cent., which will make , the value of the imports up to the Ist March, a little more than 13 Million dollars. This is - only the value of dutyable imports. Merchandise entered free will swell this amount very much. Within the time this revenue has been accumulating there have been two arrivals from Canton—the cargoes of which were very vain-, able, and composed principally of free goods. There have also been several arrivals from South America and the West India Islands, from which pleats a largo amount of merchandise is imported, paying no duty. The value of all these cargoes, added to hose paying duties, will increase the amount of importations within the past month to nearly 20,000,000 dollars."

Verdict—Accidental death. . Mr "M tchell paired Cripps in favour of Mr. Hutt's motion last night. P OLICE INTELLIGENCE CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A ruffianly-looking fellow, named Thompson, without jacket or vest, and with other garments indecently ragged, was charged with violently assaulting the potnian at the Sun public-house, Islington, and police-constable 90 N. The prisoner went into the Sun last night and asked for some drink, on which the landlady,seeinghe was already con siderably under the ififftience of liquor, very properly refused to serve him. lie then tossed down sixpence on the bar and asked for" six-pennorth of brandy and water." This, too, was refused, and becoming insolent he was desired to leave the house. The prisoner refused, and when the potman at tempted to expel him he attacked him with great violence. The policeman was then called in but the prisoner "pitched into" him too, and strove to throw him on the flags ; he was at length with much difficulty secured and removed to the station, using the most obscene and blasphemous language all the way thither. The . prisoner said he had been four years on board the m Phoex man-of-war, Captain Richardson, master; he was subsequently a year on board a collier, plying between London and Newcastle. Mr. COMAE observed, that such a strong able fellow ought to engage in some useful employment, and not be wandering about the streets. The fellow, in a very artful manner, referred to the de pressed state of the shipping service, and said there were 400 able-bodied seamen out of employment in the neighbourhood of Loudon. From the evidence of--Waddington, the gaoler, a very 'shrewd officer, and the evidence of other constables, it appeared tliat the'prisoner is nothing more nor less than a common im poster, and derivei a livelihood from " cadging." He is a very sturdy beggar, and if he Meets females alone, generally succeeds m extorting money, from their fears. He was never at sea, and, when questioned by the Magistrate, showed his utter ignorance of nautical affairs. • Mr. Costa E sent him to prison for seven days. " UNION - lIALL.—(THIS DAY.) Edwin Brown, a decent-looking man, was charged with stealing a piece of cotton goods from the shop-door of Mr. Gelks, linen-draper, High-street, Southwark. The prisoner was observed to go up to the shop door and take the piece Of cotton, with which he ran off, and being pursued was taken. Mr. COTTEIGUAN made some strong observations on the practice of tradesman placing their goods in such exposed situations outside their shop doors as to be a very great temptation to distressed persons. The complainant said that tradesmen must shut up if they were not permitted to expose their goods, and he added that the article in question was fastened in such a way as to render it difficult for a person to take it down. The prisoner said that he was a sailor, but that having met with a serious accident in falling down the hatchway of his ship he was unable to go to seaagain. The MAGISTRATE committed him for one month. M,ARLBOTIOUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) A person in male attire, about twenty-five years of age, of feminine appearance and voice, and wearing the hair long, curled, and turned back in female style, who gave the name of Timothy Bowen, was charged with begging on the previous night in Oxfoid-street, and on being taken into custody assaulting 'police-constable No:109 of the C division. It appears that her practice was to enter public-houses and solicit alms, stating that she was a female, who, to escape the persecutions of some of her relations, had been obliged to disguise herself as a man. • ' • inspector Fraud, of the C division, said that on the girl being brought to the station-house he was so much under the impression that the sex of the offender was of the feminine gender, that the paity was purposely locked in a separate cell for the night. • - • - The prisoner indignantly declared that she was net a woman. , She wa§ committed to Westminster Bridewell to hard labour for a month, where, of course, his or her sex will be ascertained.

Laflitte, deputy. The funeral array was almost entirely military, but solemn and impressive. Three Royal carriages followed the hearse—the first being the King's, the second sent by the Duchess of Orleans, and the last by the Duke de Nemours. When the body was deposited'in the tomb, General Cubieres deliVered' an oration,' which} was heard with emotion by' all "present.

The capital required was only 60,000,000 f. The line joining Berlin to BruAtels and Paris will be probably opened for circulation in 1847 ;.the capital of Prussia will then be a day and atalf's .journey from Brussels, and two days'from Paris. Another earthquake occurred at Ragusa, in Dahnatia, about half: past ten in the morning of the 27th ult., the Moment of the appearance of the new moon. It lasted six or seven seconds.

DUBLIN, MAnca -25,—Notwithstanding faint.. denials on :he one hand, andyery emphatic , contradictions on the other, the Evening Mail resolutely reasserts its statement respecting the receipt by Earl De Grey of the communication from the Prime Minister, prescribing to his. Excellency certain terms upon which he is to be guided in his future distribution of Church patronagei the sine qua non being, that the support of the present systenrof national education's an indispensable qualification for ecclesiaStical preferment. " We repeat," says the Mail, " in the most emphatic terms of which.language is capable, that such a. communication has been made within the last month ; and that a determi _, nation of acting upon that despotic declaration ha been sub ,aeTiently announced." And further, the Mail adds:— t' J,vetyword of our statement is strictly and accurately true." If the question had not been already decided by the negation, or confirmation of its correctness in - the proper quarter, it is one far too important to remain long a subject of deep and anxious doubt, and by many degrees too grave a topic to form the ground of a newspaper controversy.
