In the House of Lords the Horse-Racing Bill and the Metropolitan Improvement Bill received the Royal assent. In answer to a question from Lord NORMANBY, the LORD CHANCELLOR said the law Lords were divided in opinion in the case relating to Presbyterian Mar riages, but when a decision was given he should move the re-appointment of the Committee. 'The Marquis of CLANRICARDE put three questions to the- Earl OfT)EvoN relative to the Irish Land Te nure Commission. They were, Whether the Commis sion would affect leases already entered into; whe ther they had prepared any report as to the propor tion of rent to the value of land ; and whether the eyidence taken before the Commission would be printed? The Earl of DEVON said the whole of the cases in westigated would be reported; but he could not answer the other questions. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Six. On - a question put by Sir WILLIAM HEATHCOTE, Chairman of the Colchester and Ipswich Railway Committee, relative to the claim of certain parties to act as agents before Committees, those parties not being Parliamentary agents, a discussion arose, which was terminated by the opinion of the SPEAKER, who said that Parliamentary agents were the only persons admitted by the Standing Orders of the House to appear before Committees. The House acquiesced in this decision. After the presentation of a • number of petitions, Mr. WARP gave notice that; on an early day after Easter, he would move for a Committee of the whole Souse, to inquire into the present state of the tem poralities of the Irish Protestant Church. This announcement was received with cheers. Mr. WILLIAMS moved that no motion, if opposed, shall be brought on and discussed in the House after midnight. The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCUEQUEE opposed the motion, and blamed the Honourable Member for foventry and others for making long speeches, which led to the inconvenience complained of. Mr. BROTIJERTON said he never made long speeches, and expressed a wish that the QUEEN would imitate the example of her illustrious predecessor, ELIZA BETH, and admonish Members not to consume so much, time in making long speeches. The .House divided, when there were for the motion 16, and against it 146. No other business of importance came before the HOuse, which adjourned at Seven o'Clock. • • We return to the debate of Friday last, the 2d instant, on the Navy Estimates, in order to direct attention more particularly to some of the important • points, calling for the early attention of the Admi ralty authorities, to which our limits, on a former occa sion, did not allow us to advert. The result of our long .experience as journalists is a conviction that no means caii be employed for, the. remedy of abuses in any department of the public Service, so effective as the pressing them on the public at large, rather than on any given branch of its executive service. We, therefore, make no apology for repeating Captain rxckumi's remark, that when there is some difficulty Tll in getting good seamen to volunteer, those boys who have already acquired some proficiency in gunnery ought to - be kept in- the service. They were, how ever, discharged at the expiration of their apprentice ship. Only those who were as much as 7 stones (of 141 b.) weight were taken. Now, there may be some force in the answer, " that it would not be fair to retain the boys, after completing their apprenticeship, seeing that others are always waiting to be admitted on ships' books in their places." But, on the one hand, the policy is obvious, of retaining the services' of- thoroughly drilled and efficient boys, after they have grown up, as it were in this' very professional discipline, to manhood, and have attained a thorough acquaintance with the ships in which they have served; and, on the other, the danger is immi nent, by discharging the boys just as you, have made them sensible of their worth utility, and handiness=of inducing them to enter into foreign service, in which no man can say how soon it might happen that their " gunnery practice" would be directed against our own fleet. The question of retaining them, it is true, is a question of expense. But that might be in a great measure obviated by some such arrangement as' Sir CHARLES NAPIER suggested. The Gallant Commodore -at the same time thus described the immediate consequences of their discharge on completing their apprentice term. " When, said he, " they came home and were dis charged, they were hobbledehoys,' neither men nor boys—(A. laugh)—were caught up by the crimps, taken to houses,' and spent their -time in dancing with the girls, while some fellow fiddled away.—(Laughter.) That was the way in which their morality was ruined, and he thought that the Government, whatever might be the cost, should take them on board the flag-ships; instead of letting them , shift for themselves." , • With regard to the complaints that masters 'in the Royal Navy were seldom allowed to attain the rank of lieutenant, although this was nominally open to them, the reply of Sir GEORGE COCKBURN does not appear to have been either conclusive or satisfactory. The professional and scientific skill, the theoretical' and practical seamanship, the coolness, judgment, and, other moral qualifications, as well as the technical. ability requisite for the efficient discharge of their) very responsible duties, would seem to give these' officers an a priori claim to the advantages of promo-; tion as opportunities offered. We are much mistaken if the "masters" of the present day in her MAJESTY'S service, rate the point of 1 - 14 pour so low as to find suf ficient compensation.for their almost total exclusion from the rank in question, in Sir GEORGE'S apologetic defence of the Admiralty practice towards them, namely, " that, as it was, the master of a line of battle ship got greater pay than the first lieutenants, and other masters of different classes got the same pay as other lieutenants." How many a gallant BENBOW or intrepid BOSCANVEN, even in the earlier period of . hiS naval career, would have pitched into the sea a whole year's salary of a First Lord of the Admiralty himself; to be allowed but " to pluck bright honour" in well-earned distinction of •an epaulette, from the hand of official patronage ! Each of those brave worthies, if we remember rightly, had been, in 'the toilsome course of his perilous career—" a master." Good fellows ! fine officers ! brave seamen !—these masters, it seems. But then, quoth Sir GEORGE Coex- BURN, ", they were. persons who went through the coarser line of seamanship ; and, though they were excellent seamen, they were not the same class of persons as lieutenants, who, it should be remembered, had to serve a considerable number of years before they got their commissions." This is " ominous stuff" to be' uttered by a British Admiral, of Sir GEORGE'S distinguished bravery and conduct; bat he is of that new-fangled school—half civil, half mili tary—neither flesh nor fowl—that amphibious corn pound of modern Admiralty Boards, the constitution of which is so distasteful to the gallant NAIIER What would some of the higher, thorough-sailor class of Admirals of the old school, GELL Or RODNEY, STRACHAN or NELSON, have said to this disparaging estimate of: masters of, the ' navy in general, and those of their own ships in par ticular ! " Coarse line of seamanship,"—we think we hear not Jour; HosiE's " angry spirit of the water shriek,"—but the savoury spirits of tar and picked oakum venting their sighs of passionate indig nation, at this disdainful notice of those who, for merly, lived so much among them. But Sir GEORGE is unwilling to drive the masters to despair. In the lottery of promotion there may be, it seems, some half a dozen chances for their whole body : " The masters were :eligible to be made lieutenants when any gallant act or particular good service was ;per formed by them." We have long concurred in an opunPn.protqsffeti-by Sir CHARLES NAPIER, " that the standiugr oftWiietty officers ought to be raised, so that theY might be more identified with the officers , than with the men. If that were done, there never would be any mutiny, or if there were it would very soon be put down." For what we stated, in a fermer article. on the sub ject of steam men-of-war, we venture to cite the, un impeachable and emphatic authority of Captain Rots , This officer remarked—" It had been proposed to provide 200 steam-ships for our navy ; but had - they 200 officers who were so well acquainted with steam ships as to be qualified to take the command of those vessels?" It was the same officer who, in common with Sir CHARLES NAPIER, insisted on the palpable disadvantage, as' well as impropriety, of employing aged, to the exclusion of younger and more vigorous, officers in command. "He had told the House for two years past, that if the Admiralty persisted in ap pointing to the command- of ships officers who had been a quarter of a century on shore, this state of things must continue." But perhaps the most striking feature in the whole debate was the protest against the further implicit adoption of all the plans of the present Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. SYMONDS. , We offer no opinion On the merits or deficiencies of this gentleman—the Government naval architect ; but the question of his success in, or inadequacy to, that responsible office, well deserves the most profound attention of Govern ment. It is 'a matter as td Which not a fraction of personal prepossessions or partialities should be allowed to influence the judgment of the authorities. Yet the authorities were broadly accused of over weening prepossessions' on behalf' of his models,' and "partiality in favour of his opinions, by Captain Dun-, DAs, out of the House, Captains PECHELL and Rous and Commodore NAPIER within it. • Captain Rous said, "He saw by the newspapers that a number of what were called very magnificent frigates were' in course of construction; but he believed that nearly all of them, before they were put in commission, would be found to be worthless. He believed that many of these ships, some .of them built by Sir 'W. SYMONDS—ships - upon which millions of money had been expended—would' turn out to be fit only for firewood;" It seems that for any officer to impute 'in his re ports to the Admiralty bad sailing;or other qualities, to craft that have been turned out by Sir W. SYMONDS, is a " damnable heresy." " But," said Captain Rots, " the officers were well aware that, if they reported unfavourably; there was at once an end to their hopes of promotion. When the 18-gun brigs were converted into ships, the officers in command were required to report on their qualities. This I was known to be an Admiralty whim, and all the officers reported favourably, except Captain DUNDAS, a sell of one of the Lords of the. Admiralty, who said, that his vessel had been a very fine brig,, and had been made into a very bad ship. That officer, in consequenee of expressing this opinion, was remonstrated with, pi. vately and publicly, but still he maintained that his opinion was correct." In relation to this subject, the complete failure of the Water-Witch (built at West Cowes by Mr. WHITE), purchased from her noble owner, and con verted from about the finest, fastest, and most beauti ful two-masted yacht that ever sailed, into a very bad three-masted vessel of war, by the Government's ship-builder, was largely dwelt upon. Captain Rom did not hesitate to say, that no Government ship wright's reports were werthy of credit when they were made of vessels not built by themselves ; that all builders hated one another; and those of our dock yards invariably disparaged the craft turned out of private yards. How. this may be we know not; -but the case of the. " Water-Witch," which we saw our selves when on the stocks, whilst building for the Earl of BELFAST, afterwards on various trips, prior to her alterations, and subsequently, in the ruined state described by Captains Rous and PECBELL, did go far to show that a most searching inspection and reform ',V • ...,,,. SUN, LONDON:WEDNESDAY 'MORNING, MARCH 6, 1A44, are needed in this department of our naval adminis tration. The matter is one which, if the allegations we have quoted be well grounded, admits not of delay in providing a present remedy for past errors,, and attempting to guard against the future peril to our navy, which the practices complained of cannot but have incurred. respectableTeople !will, of course, be proud to follow so beautiful an example of conscientiousness. Sir ROBERT PEEL a martyr ! The idea is an ennobling one, and the imagination dm ells on it with fondiess and veneration, not:umningled with' sort of pleasing terror. imagine Yhi% wit4:that imitutable face of his, so smiling and innocent in its serenity, bearing testimony-to _the Faith among the sheep-pens of Smithfield, Stnek - bolf-uPright against a post; and repeating the. Thitty-nite Articles, by ra'ay of a deli Fate hint to, his persecutors, while the "devouring element" Is Making More 'free than' weictiMe with' his person ! Of course, as the Premier's will is laW with his.Ministerial . colleafe.‘es, they could nOe,doTless than follow the example set by their conscientious Chief; and thus our Protestant eles might be gratified by the e - heering - spretaele - of - a -- whole • Cabinet roasting togetber' at.

But to he serious—if ikbe possible to be seribuS'on so ludierous'a ' ROBERT PEEL has about as little- of;--the martyr in. hia _composition As Any Public man we • ever - remember, to have- read of. Others may: ga stake-fors their religion, or make vast personal sacrifices, in ) order to promote thefPolitical:welfare of their. country ;Ibut he is .not one of these: disinterested few.- , A.' sense: of public prinCiPle will never stand in the way of his ainbition. A regard for . consistency will' never interpoSe be tween _ him and the sunshine of office . . -- If—eX pediency require the surrender of this or that -opinion, the surrender. will' be made -with out ; and though- he is' :now the avowed" Minister of the Monopolist - 5 , do not 'des pair of liVing to see the day when the Preinier will be the avowed Minister of the party. It is'only necessary that the League should squeeze him a littloi . more vigorously than it has yet done, to squeeze "otikof him a consent to all its demands: We, some months ago, urged'upon the cOnsideration of the Government the propriety,: uot, to say, the duty-- 7 of . t oliening to public competition, the designs for the new buildings to replace the old facade -and quadrangle of the British Museum. With whet signal success the latent genius of English art—un-: trammelled by the conventional intrigues, and favouritisms of incorporated . associations -may appealed to, when a worthy object of national emu lation is proposed for competition-Lwas singularly evinced in .the recent collection of historical cartoon drawings. The decoration of the halls and chambers of the New Houses of Parliament , offered a. fine scope to the talent of our native artists for design in the highest branch of pictorial composition. The result was most fortunate. It: may be eonsidered to have called a new era of art into existence among us,, and will always be remembered to the honour of those who so worthily responded to the summons of the Legislature. ': If the British Museum appeals less. forcibly.to .that enthusiasm which is based on historical associations, and reminiscences, than the seat of our ancient Con stiutional Legislature, it has. claims at, least as powerful on the affection, the solicitude, and the respect of every British scholar and student; of the . lovers of national science and philosophy ; and above all, of the admirers of Greek sculpture, with all its infinite varieties of idealized beauty, in form, action, and expression. The British. sewn is the proud ..depository. of • _some of the most snblime conceptions of that genius which has given to marble the, all but immortal embodiment of heroic fable.—,the epic grandeur , of its divine poetry. Surely the shrine, within which these pre .eious and costly relics of an . age of intellectual in, spiratien that has not yet been mated by its :parallel, are congregated and preserved, should be itself an edifice in some degree of kindred beauty or magnificence. But when it is considered that within the circuit of the same walls,,which are thus destined, to shield the honoured fragments that still .attest, the marvellous imagination and exquisite hand of a Lxsirrus or a nun - us ; the glerious. productions of English mind, in all its infinite development, whether in manuscript or in printed records ; in every walk of human learning, in every department of science, philosophy, and poetry,. 'every sentiment of a genuine nationality must' be interested in; the dig nity and character of the edifice which is to be their hono*red domicile. - We — perceive with mortifica tion-:--and we participate, in, all the. astonishment Which our Contemporaries are daily giving utterance to, in this matter—that no suCh'relations are likely -to be observed between the inestimable coutents of the building and , the building itself. Exertions,, quite unknown hitherto in the sleepy history of the repa rationS and additions that have been made, from time By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer. Paella; 6aptain WiisoN, we' have accounts from Lisbon to- the 29th of February, but they possess no interest. The journals contain no authentic in telligence from the prOvinces, respecting the revolted troops. A dispatch from Viscount FONTE NOVA was :published in the Government paper, announcuig that most of them had fled across the frontier into Spain ; but as this was not confirmed by the' tele graph, nor mentioned by the other Lisbon jobr _no credit was attached to the statement. OLozaos.. has arrived ,in th g land: by the, steamer, after having been shamefully treated by the Portu-; geese Government. Agents, of the police broke into his hotel, opened all his trunks, rifled his papers, stole his money, and then sealed up his empty, boxes,' al 7 leging that they had removed nothing. Be suc ceeded, however, in recovering his property,- and after having obtained a passport With some difficulty, was glad to escape from the country. The'Cortes, which had, assembled merely to prolong the powers granted to the Ministry for suppressing the insurrectiop, had been adjourned till the 23d April, and it is not at all improbable that by that time COSTA q.l-BltAl t and his party may follow the .example of NARVAEZ and pONZ,A.LES BRAVO, and suspend them to an indefinite period. to time, in and about Montague House,since it became the British Museum, , have indeed teen put forth oflate. The staff of workmen and artificers, largely increased in numbers, seeing to have - been. incessantly and actively occupied for some time . past, as if • the selected architect o 1 the new works were anxious to anticipate—(we,are almost tempted to say) --the expression of any Parliamentary or public opi nion on the course of inviting public competition, to which we have alluded:' So far as we have been able to collect from the:aspects of the works in progress, or to judge from the design, which we have seen, we cannot believe that in this instance. the public will find that they have to boast of -- a fabric :abovp- the. average of the more recent productions of the seine' professor. As we predicted, some months ago, the. new structure is likely to be Greek enough in every' feature 7 -except adaptation "or fitness; graceful combi nation, and elegance of detail. A small=i4bscription club-house front ; sober to Quakerism ; plain to po verty ; simple to frigidity ; ; inexpressive, Meaningless, unenriched—these will probably' be found the true features of the design, whatever public ex.pectatiOn may haVe naturally looked for in their stead. Will nobody in the Coinmittee for superintending the building and adornment of Mr. BARRY'S ". Parlia !tient Houses," make the . necessary inquiries, from his place in the House of Commons; . or' elsewhere, to ascertain on whose responsibility the freehold, 'as it were, of all designs and works for the British Mu seum has not only been given for so many years past, —but seems destined to be continued during his life time,—to one and the same. architect ? And why it is that, more particularly in relation to the build ing now in course of erection, the designs for eleva tions, plans, interior "arrangement; &c., &c., have not been opened to public competition ?. _ The discussion in the French ; Chamber of Depu ties, on the Paris fortifications, commenced. on Sa 7 turday. The Opposition expected' great things from this affair, but were again disappointed. The dis icussion caused no excitement,, and led to no result. The prinelpal, charges against the Government were, that it had exceeded the letter of the Act passed ,in 1841, and that these fortifications were intended to put down the Parisians in case of a revolt, rather than protect the capital against a foreign enemy. - Marshal SOULT denied both, the assertions. The Act, he said, had been strictly complied with, and: the fPFtiecatic9a were constructed in such a manner that they could not disturb . Patti.. Generall i si7culars I took the same view ; and so little interest did the ,Chamber take in the subject, that even M. Ds LAMAIt- . TINE, with all his eloquence, could not attract attention. M.. A.a4ao and Al 4.L.Laan Who had drawn up a report on the works, intended to speak, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, the debate was adjourned for a week. Louis Pnuairn is a most fortiinate man.

Or perhaps, more Correctly ; we ought to say that we did TOM TRUMB injustice, when we opined that the National Anti-League would resemble in clwarfishness of stature that illus trious General. For, at eVents, the little Ameri can stands straight and 'erect, whilst the Great Na tional Anti-League Demonstration could 'neither , stand, sit, nor walk, but fell down on the ground at its first GREAT attempt, amidst the jeers and laughter of the assembled multitude. And yet, again, we are wrong, for there was no multitude, at all ; for the Great National Demonstration,. in the Great Hall of Freemasons' Tavern, consisted of about,,a hundred' anal forty men, three women in the gallery, and four in the body of the Hall. • , And this was the great meeting. convened to, put down the Anti-Corn-law League, to overthrow the i fallacies of the free-traders, and to place ,Connzs and' BRIGHT in the shade.. ,, ,Allis ; '. that such-doom should have. been threatened; and: that such, an ir,npoteut conclusion should ha've: resulted. • •Fatal presage for the operations of the t onopolrsts ; most unlucky omen' for their future succeSa. And yet,, what better could they expect ? what better .did they deserve? To call, or attempt to call, a meeting of people in this metropolis, in support of the corn-laws, must have been the scheme of madmen. Why, at atime when the prin ciples of free trade have taken such deep hold upon the minds and feelings of all classeS—when the entire people a England and Ireland are sick of that class legislation which impoverishes,all for the sole benefit of one—who could expect that Englishmen were such fools as to support any demonstration such as the' National Anti-League sought to make ?

The Herald, with its usual sagacity, has discovered that Sir ROBERT PEEL is so enthusiastic and disin-, ,terested in his zeal fOr the Protestant Establish-' ment, that he would infinitely rather. undergo the ugly operation of martyrdom than that a single lock of a Bishop's wig , should be injured:•• Were he even called 9n, like St. LAWRENcE, to prove his devotion to the priesthood by reclining full length on a grid iron, and being done to a turn over a slow fire; he would consent to the broil without a moment's hesita tion. It is now some days, since our Contemporary made this extraordinary discovery respecting the :Premier's readiness to become . a martyr on an emer gency ; arid so enamoured is he of it, that he this morning repeats it, and, , if. possible, • with increased unction and emphasis :—" We :believe," quoth the Herald, "that Sir ROBERT PEEL is a sincere Pro testant, and we see that he, adorni his religious profession by an honourable and useful public career, • and by a private life: of perfect purity .1 and of great . benevolence ; and seeing this; we cannot doubt that he would perish ' at the stake rather than assist in the injury of the Church to which' he belongs."

LAW AND POLICE. • At the Central Criminal Court, Thomas Holt, the regitk , tered proprietor of the Age newspaper, was found guilty on, an indictment of libel on Lord William Paget. The libel was published in _reference to the late trial between his Lord ship..end the Earl of Cardigan. Mr. Holt being at present undergoing a sentence of imprisonment for a libel on another person, was not sentenced, but remanded to Newgate. He will probably be brought up for sentence at the expiration of his present term. At the Mansion-house, a respectable young man, who had acted as the chief mate of a ship called the Diana, ap peared .to answer •a: charge preferred by Mrs. May, the widow .of the late captain of the same vessel, who, on the voyage from St. Helena, was found dead in the cabin, with a pistol wound through his temples. The mate put the ship back to St. Helena, and while lying there, an expkaionywhich _blew up the cabin, - took place, by which the steward was killed. The charge was, that the mate had taken possession of and detained the property of Captain May. It was supposed that the captain had committed suicide. The .Lord Mayor thought there were some suspicious circumstances in the case, and held the defendant to bail. Trnmen, named Dykes and Kenward, were fined at Bow street, for a severe and unp'i*eked assault on Mr. Warbur ton, late Major-General of the. police force in Ireland, and his son.

The regret is the more serious at this change because of. the hu mane character of the Prince, who on all occasions showed indulgence and forbearance, rather then employed vigorous measures. Under these circumstances he is, however, sure of the esteem of his Emperor, who knows the excellent heart, as well as the military talent, of, the Gerieral2 It is now expected at St. Peteraburgh that a new Minister. of War will be appointed in the room of Geperal Czerntscheff, who is to go to Warsaw as CCOvernar.G eneral. • HANOVER, FEB. 28.—The Estates of the kingdom are convoked for 21st of March.

The programme was made up of gems from Burns's store, and in addition Mr. Wilson gave great amusement by his introduction of the poet's satirical effusion of " My spouse Nancy," in which the vocalist, sustained the dialogue between the fiery-tempered wife and .the cool husband with admirable humour. On Friday and Saturday Mr. Wilson gave entertainments in Brighton under the patronage of the Duchess of Somerset and other diitinguished personages, when the rooms were crowded.by all the nobility and fashion now resident in that fashionable locality. We perceive by the provincial papers that Mr. Wilson visits Oxford, Bristol, and Bath during the present week.. TRYING AN EXPERIMENT.-Mr. James Osbourne of Farndon-row, Newark, a native of the Emerald Isle, tried the experiment of cutting his throat on Thursday, the 15th instant, and after cutting through the fleshy part Shouted out lustily for help ; and on his son-in-law's answering,, he found him bleeding very profusely, but. in no immediate danger. He had in one hand a razor; and in the other a penknife • and it appears that he had met a disappointment which led him to make the attempt. His wife was confined to a sick bed, during which time he discovered a hoard of 1401., and this he placed in the hands of a faithless companion named Childs, to accompany him to Ainerica. Childs was to lead the way to Gains borough, and Osbourne was to follow; but Childs proved to baold enough to decamp with the whole sum, and poor Pat returned so chop-fallen and chagrinedthat he ventured upon the experiment above stated. We are happy to say his life is not in danger.—Stamford Mercury. ST. PETER'S.-ANOTHER SINGING MOUSE.--MT.

It has been visited by the greater part . of the inhabitants of this place, who expressed their astonishment and admiration of the notes of the little animal. The writer of this notice has wit nessed it several times ; the sounds it emits are a low but shrill whistle, something similar to the notes of the nightingale. — Amer Chronicle.
