Admission, One Shilling. ntantin LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 134.-. The House of Commons met shortly before Four. Mr. FORBES MACEENZIE tcok the oaths and his seat for Peebles-shire. Mr. Gissoast moved, " That in all cases in which the Members of a Committee on a railway Bill, or group of Bills, should be reduced to four, the proceedings on such Bill or group of Bills shall be suspended until the Committee of Selection shall have discharged one of the said four Members from further attendance on the said Committee." The motion was opposed by Lord G. SOMERSET, Mr. LABorcHERE, and several other Members. Sir G. GREY moved the following amendment : " That upon all questions before Railway Committees, on which there was a difference of opinion, those ques tions should be decided by the majority of voices ; but where the Members on the Committee were even, that the Chairman should had two voices or a casting voice.'. . THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 18451 After a short discussion the motion was withdrawn, and the amendment was agreed to. Sir R. PEEL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to Thursday next, which was agreed to. The second reading of the Parochial Settlement Bill was postponed until the 9th of June. Sir J. GRAHAM then moved for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject of Academical Education in Ireland, and in so doing, admitted that religious differences con stituted the great difficulty in the way of establishing a general system in both countries, and that in Ireland this great anomaly existed viz., that for centuries the religion of the great majority of the people had been treated as a hostile religion. The only way in which this difficulty could be met was by adopting the principles set forth in the report of the Commission appointed in 1806 to consider this subject, which proposed to institute a national system of educa tion which should be open to all classes of the people, while it kept clear of all differences with respect to the particular religious tenets of any. On that principle he intended to found his measure. The Right Hon. Gen tleman then went at great length into the history of na tional education in Ireland up to the present time. He should have no hesitation in recommending in Ireland the establishment of universities on the same plan as the University of London, where no test was requited of either teacher or student. He proposed to establish one such University in the south of Ireland—most pro bably at Cork—another in the west, either at Limerick Or Galway, and another in the north, either at Lon- donderry or Belfast, but most probably at Belfast. About 30,0001. each would be the sum required for building and fitting up those Universities, and about 6,0001. a-year each for the annual endoe ment. Each college would have ten or twelve professors, who would be allowed 300/. a year each; and both at Cork and Belfast there would be medical schools, and among these twelve professors would be included the professors in anatomy, surgery, and chemistry. Considering that the endowment was to be made by the Crown, he pro posed that the preessors in all the three et:Beg( s should be nominated by the Crown, and that the Crown should have not only the power of nomi nating, but the power of removing, .on cause shown. The principals would reside in the college, but not either the professors or the students. The course of instruc tion would be given by lectures and daily examinations. The e would be in none of these colleges endow ments for professors of theology by the Crown, but if private individuals chose to endow such prof wor ships, every facility would be given them for so doing, but the attendance upon such lectures would not be compulsory. The fundamental principle of the measure was the avoidance of all interference, positive or negative, with the re ligious scruples of the people. It was the intention of the Government to continue to the four divinity professors of the academical institution in Bfl fast, the endowment which they had enjoyed for the Fast twenty years, and if the Bill should pass, he thought the institution would transfer their premises and library to the Government on easy terms, for the purposes of the new Belfast university. The Crown would not feel bound in such a case to re-appoint the existing professors, but to those not re-appointed, it would award ample compensation. He had not finally determined, but he thought it would be better that these colleges should be united into a central uni versity for the granting degrees, rather than that each should possess the power, and the central university should be in Dublin; but he did not at all intend to interfere with Trinity College as it at present existed. After paying a tribute to the high-minded and honour able course which bad been pursued by Mr. WYSE, the Member for Waterford, in reference to this question— of academical education in Ireland—the Right Hon. Baronet concluded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. WYSE, Sir R. H. INGLis, Mr. SHEIL, Sir B. YELL, Mr. SHAW, and several other Hon. Members, when leave was given to bring in the Bill. The House then went into Committee of Supply, when 50,000 L were voted on account of the public ser vice, and, the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. The debate which took place on Thursday on Mr. HUTT'S motion is the most curious, perhaps, on record. We believe " Hansard's Reports," which give so mi nutely the speeches and acts of the "collective wisdom," contain no absurdities at all approaching those a hich were brought forward as arguments against a Ines sure so just to our colonies, and so uw rly harmless to the agricultural interests of this coun try. The resolution was simply to the effect, that Australian corn and flour should be admitted on the same terms as corn and flour, the produce of Canada. It would he impossible to make any motion in the Howe so little calculated to excite discussion, yet the Government, from some perverse disposition to halt half way in measures for the good of the country, opposed it almost with as much apparent sincerity as they will Of pote the motion for a total repeal of the corn-laws. From Canada grain can be imported in three weeks at a very trifling cost, and though it may be called the produce of that colony, probably a large proportion of it is smuggled from the United States, a circumstance which every one foresaw when Lord STANLEY introduced his Canada Corn Bill. But no illicit traffic of thatkind can take place in Aus tralia. The colony is entirely English, it has no power ful, rich adjacent territory from which grain can be imported ; and, what is of much more importance, the distance between that settlement and the mother country is such that possibly no trade in corn, ii per fectly free, could be carried on without loss. The Vice- President of the Board of Trade seemed to take that view of the question. Of what, then, was ho afraid ? Why did he oppose such a very meek and gentle resolution ? Because, "if they were to accede to the proposed alterations, a great deal of alarm would be era ated among the agriculturists of this country." Why, the farmers' friends them selves are the most determined calumniators of that class—they seem to regard them as only part of the live stock on the farm, and as destitute of mescal or any faculty approaching to that of calculation as the calves and bullocks that graze on their meadows. They dare not tell the farmers the truth, because these gentlemen will not, or cannot, understand it, and have such a horror of foreign corn, that they will not admit it, even though brought from the most distant part of the habitable world. The Australian colonies are on the opposite side of the globe—the farmers there and the farmers here are standing with their feet exactly opposite to each other, and it would require four, or five, or six months to transport a cargo of grain from these colonies to the port of London, yet not a move must be made in the corn-law question—the very apprehension of Australian corn would cause a panic at Mark-lane, and wheat would fall perhaps 3s. the quarter. The arguments of Sir ROBERT PEEL were of a similar stamp ; and we regret the fact the more, as the public really cannot judge when a Minister is in earnest and in jest, and will give less weight to other opinions, which possibly may be of the first importance to the safety of the country. " Such conduct," said Lord Howlett, " was the more to be denounced, when it was remembered that it would induce Canada to believe that she was indebted nothing to Eng land for the concessions which had been made to her, and probably induce other colonies to follow her example, e demanding instead of entreating concessions from the English Government." We hare accounts from Madrid to the Ist of May, but they are without interest, that being the Feast of the Ascension. The Cortc2s did not meet, and the Bourse was closed.

This eloquentnP t rE, orator, and in a flow of eloquence which occasionally carried him beyond the bounds of prudence and moderation, and excited loud marks of approbation from the Left, and disapprobation from the Centre, stated that the sole object of the forts was to prevent revolutions like those in 1789 and 1830, and that they were the crowning work of a system of policy directed against liberty. The speaker, of course, was repeatedly call, (I , to order, but, nevertheless, he contrived to present to the Chamber a st rong out li ne of grievances eet .iled on France by the Revolution ofehJeuuld consider be found ly. Th the The framing brief 1 ske A tc f h ter uf phreismspeech that w i will l he therefore int e t - I r u e : s t t i i n o g n . chiefly in a political view, he said : " Any war which night hereafter occur would be one ' coalition ; the field of b a ttl e would be Europe, with 35 000,000 of men on one side, and 250,000 ,000 on the other—in other words, one Frenchman aga i nst two or three adversaries. Cader such circumstances th e i r wa ll s and their fortresses would be not only an insignificant defence, but they would tend to weaken them; this had been admitted by men much more capable than he of forming a judgment. Paris fortified would retain in the centre of France 50,000 or 60,000 men, and how many important battles had been lost for went of such a 1 reinforcement. In case of a reverse nothing could be more fatal than having such a large body of men shut up in Paris, for the enemy might easily cut off the communications between the remnants of their armies and the capital. Capitals were best defended on the frontiers, at a hundred leagues distant. In support of his argument he would mention the case of Rome, Constantinople, and China, all of which had fallen into the power of their invaders from the fault of shutting their forces within the walls of their capitals instead of defending them on their respective frontiers. It was curious to trace the pro gress of the scheme for fortifying Paris. At first 18,000,000 f. had been demanded, but this demand rose afterwards to 80,000,000 f., to provide Paris with 3,000 pieces of cannon Thus the revolution of July. The moment that the Prince, for whom so much enthusiasm had been evinced ascended the throne, a constant struggle had ensued between the regal power and the national representation. There was then in the Chamber a man enjoying the respect of all,—Lafavette, who held the command of the /National Guards of the kingdom. The royal power yielding to the tendency of all power to encroach, got alarmed at the immense authority thus placed in one man's hands. It acted so that the National Guards became nothing more than a municipal institution, incapable of doing harm. —(Uproar.) Lafayette resigned, in consequence, his corn mend, and, in a fortnight after, Lafitte, whom they had niece lost , and the men who shared his opinions, were excluded from power. Soon after, the right of associationwas proceeded against, and received a heavy blew. Then came the attempt of Fieschi, and severe laws were voted against the press, and new judges were created for new crimes. He accused no one of bad faith, but he must charge every one of a blind tendency to strengthen the royal power, at the expense of the rest, by a violent reaction. It was then that the idea of raising forti fications around Paris was first rumoured. abroad. The proposition of the deteched forts produced the riots at Lyons, and it eras perceived that, in order to obtain the fortifications, they must be demanded by the country itself. In 1839 a coalition was formed to put down what was called the personal power. That power (he named no one, but he looked at it in an absolute point of view), being twice worsted in the Chamber, telt a warm resentment. It could have chosen its Minis ters from the Left, where M. 0. Barrot sat, or in the Right Centre, but it preferred men of another party, the Left Centre. Perfect harmony was then re-established between the Minis try and the Chamber, but a cry of war arose about the East. At the moment when France gave Europe a pledge of perfect immovability, by recalling her fleet, the idea of the fortifica tions rose like a phantasmagoria from the tumult, and was pre sented under the pretext of defending France against foreign aggression. Let the Chamber weigh this chain of proceedings and then say whether, when they beheld a rampart rising round Paris where their fathers had pulled down the Bestile, there was not cause to fear, he would not say for their pre sent liberty, but for that of the future. A year had scarcely glided by, after the period just alluded to, when the fortifi cations were voted—those fortifications which broke the equi Librium between the Parliamentary power and the Royal one! Since that vote, had the Government drawn closer to the nation? Had it done more for the people? On the con trary, they had seen, when they lost that much-re gretted Prince whose place was nearest the throne, a Regency Bill introduced, which tended to dispossess the nation of all its right of sovereignty ! (Here he was called to order by the President, and then proceedeed as follows) :—He should not an y longer pursue a discussion which appeared to excite the Chamber against him; he should merely add one observation. If the fortifications of Paris were armed, it was impossible not to measure with an uneasy eye what would, after a time, be come of the con: titutional edifice fur which France had fought during fifty years. Let the Chamber bear in mind the vast prerogatives of that power which per:shed not—the appoint ment to all civil offices, the nomination to all grades in the cries of Order, order.') All the relations with foreign powers confided to an irresponsible power; that civil list—(l violent burst of exclamation)—he did not speak of the civil list in the ordinary acceptation of the term—he alluded to that civil list of influence, which placed royalty in possession of 300,000 employments. Look, too, at the power possessed by the Crown to create Peers—to change the majority, if it pleased. The fortifications, would, it was alleged, prevent revolutions. Did the Chamber know that in that de claration was contained a condemnation of those of 1789 and 1830, which were looked on as holy. He had shown the struggle that was going on ; and it was now for the Cham ber to decide if it would throw fresh weight in the balance of the Government against public libvrty. He maintained that the immediate arming of the fortifications of Paris would constitute an eternal accusation in iron and bronze against the Government, and would remain a cause of per manent agitation, which he was decidedly opposed to. He therefore called on the Chamber to reject the Bill.—(Great agitation followed these remarks, and the sitting remained suspended for some minutes.)" M. DUCHATEL replied to this cutting satire on the July Revolution, and defended the policy of his MA JETT'S Government. After some brief remarks from M. GFORGES LAFFITTE and M. GARNIBR PAGES, the Chamber adjourned. Next day (Wednesday) the dis• cussion on the clauses commenced, the first of IN hich proposed a grant of 14,000,000 f. This was opposed by General SUBERVIE and M. ARAGO, who was left sptak ing.

Madison solved a similar one jn 1840, by taking possession, with a military force, of the country which is the subject of the intrigues. The seizure and occupation of Mobile and Baton Rouge furnish at once an example and a precedent for the present Administration should there seem to be good reason to apprehend that the offi ciousness of Great Britain is operating to the prejudice of the United States. • " 7here is now no serious apprehension la this country of a war with Mexico, but the public mind is far from being easy en that subject" Some applrehensions were felt, it appears, lest difficulties should ensue with Brazil relative to the seizure at Rio, by the United States Minister, of a vessel supposed to be engaged in the slave trade. Military movements towards the Texian frontiers are no ticed. The following appointments by the President are officially announced :—Hon. W. H. Stiles, of Georgia, to be Chargé d'Affaires to the Court of Austria; Hon. A. Davezac to be Chargé d'Affaires to the Hague. The Toronto papers give full details of a fire in London, Canada west, the most destructive and terrible ever known in Canada, which impoverished and ruined hundreds of peo ple; at least 150 families were rendered houseless. The en tire loss was estimated at 200,000 dolls. The accounts from Mexico and Texas are very contradic tory. The intelligence from the former country is to the effect that General Almonte's communication of the passage of the measure of annexation produced very considerable ex citement in the capital. On the 22d of March, Senor Cuevas, the Minister of Foreign Relations, addressed a circular to the governors of the different departments, in which he appeals to the patriotism of the authorities of the departments and all their citizens, to forget all divisions, and to stand by the President, and co-operate with him in defence of the rights and the honour of the nation. Upon the. reception of official notification, a very stormy session was held in the House of Deputies, during which Senor Cuevas submitted the follow ing decree, prefacing it with the remark that the Govern ment felt strong enough for the emergency, without the grant of additional powers: and he trusted that instead of a grievous calamity, annexation might really prove a bletsing to Mexico, by uniting all her people in a determined effort to maintain their rights and preserve the integrity of the territory of the Republic. The Presidents of the two Cham bers responded in much the same strain : " Ist. Inasmuch as the United States of North America, by the annexation of Texas to their territory, have openly violated their friendship with this nati,n, it is hereby declared, that from the passage of this law, the treaties of friendship, commerce, and na vigation concluded between the said peoples in 1831, and Mutually accepted and ratified in January of 1832, are at an end. " 2d. In consequence whereof, from the publiettion of this law, the terms of six months and of one year, for various purposes agreed upon in said treaties, shall begin to be completed. • " 3d. The Government orders the closing of all - ports to the commerce of the United States, and forbids.the use of. their manu. factures. • " 4th. No proposition relative to the restoration of friendship will be listened to from the United States, except upon the basis of the relinquishment of the plan of the annexation of Texas." The Chamber immediately went into secret session for the purpose of discussing the above decree. El Sieglo (of Mexico) of the 19th ult., contains a letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Cuevas) to Mr. Shan non, United States Minister at Mexico, informing him that the Goveenment was in possession of the knowledge of the passage of the annexation resolutions, and that diplomatic relations between the two countries. were s - 'fided on that account. The same day a note was addressed by the Mexican Cabinet to the Ministers of Spain, France, and England, pro testirg against the proceedings of the United States in rela tion to Texas. The Texian advices, which reach to the 9th ult., are still of the same doubtful character, and give us no clue by which to judge of the wishes of the Texians relative to annexation. The rumoured guarantee of her independence, and condition ally that that scheme be abandoned, is repeated. The British sloop of war Electra, Captain Elliott, arrived at Galveston on the 24th of March froin Jamaica, with dis patches for the English and French Ministers in Texas. The nature of these dispatches was not known, but Capt. Elliot, in company with the French Minister, had left for the Texian capital. The Galveston Civilian, of the 2d ult., announces the re turn, on the 31st, of the French and British Ministers from the seat of government. The same paper of the sth save, "The British ship Eury dice, Captain Elliot, arrived off this port on Thursday from Vera Cruz. By this arrival both the Ministers of Great Bri • tain and France in Texas have received dispatches." The papers are full of articles relating to annexation. The discussion appears to be carried on with much warmth, the tone of the National Register and Galveston Civilian being decidedly hostile to annexation on the terms pro posed by the joint resolutions, while the Houston Telegraph and Galveston News strongly advocate anexation on those terms. While the President and General Houston, accord ing to the accounts, are enemies of annexation, the Vice- President had presided at a meeting in its favour. The most important information is the following, given by the Picayune, on the authority of private letters of later dates : " President Jones had returned to Washington, and the United States Minister, Major DoneLson, had been treated so cavalierly by him and his Cabinet that bespoke of withdraw ing from the seat of Government to Galveston." • Lays AND Istrowrawr 'Rom Mexico.—By the arrival last night of the steam-ship Alabama from Havanna), bringing papers to the 9th inst., we have later news from the City of Mexico. On the 29th ult., our Minister in Mexico was informed that the diplo. matte relations between the two countries had ceased. The trial of Santa Anna was in progress, The robberies between VerstCina and Mexico were as rife as ever. It now appears that Mexico is willing to recognise the independence of Texas, provided the latter will decline annexation to the United States.—New York Tribune, April 23.

" Who runs may feud." roltExcN. The health of M. Guizot is so much improved, says the Presse, that it is hoped he will be able to attend in his place in the Cham. ber, and support his budget as Minister for Foreign Affairs. The funeral of M. Cavaignac took place at Notre Dame de Lo-_ rette on Wednesday. Bodies of National Guards ; the students of the schools, and a number of his political friends attended at the ceremony. Ali Effendi, Ambassador from the Sublime Porte to the Court of London, arrived at Marseilles on the lit inst., and was to embark en the 4th for Constantinople in the steamer the Orient. M. Lesseps, the French Consul at Barcelona, was also at Marseilles on his way to his post. The illness from which M. Charles Laffitte has been for some time suffering, is so far abated that his physicians hope to be able, in a few days, to send him into the country to complete his conva. lescence. In reference to the grants for improving the harbours of Toulon and Port Vctiere, the Presse asks—" Why is Havre overlooked, a hen it Is obvious that in the collision which appears the most im minent, that harbour would be the chief point menaced along the coas► 7 In forty-eight hours an English fleet could burn Havre, annihilate the immense commercial riches accumulated there, and ravage all the other towns on the coast of the Channel and the Atlantic. And, nevertheless, a contingency so possible, and per haps so little remote, attracts no attention." The Journal de Debuts announces the death, at Liancourt, in the 90th year of his age, of M. Ferry, a member of the National Convention. The Paris• joureals give the following comparative account of accidents upon the Paris railroads, and those which took place within a certain number of years, from diligences and other car riages :—" On the Corbeil Railroad there were conveyed, between September 10, 1840, and June 10, 1943, 2,200,000 per sons, of whom only one was injured. On that of St. Germain there were carried from August, 1837, to September, 1944, upwards of 6,000,000 . persons, of whom only one was killed. In 1842, the proportion of wounded and bruised was not more than one in every 100,000. According to on official return of the six Paris railways, the total length of which is upwards of 340 kilometres (85 leagues, or about 206 miles), there ran from the lot January to the 30th June, 1843, no fewer than 18,466 trains, carrying 1,889,718 passengers, who travelled over 510,215 kilo metres (about 187,551 leagues, or 308,035 miles), not a single passenger was either killed or hurt. Three of the men employel on the roads were the only victims." The total number of per sons killed by accidents from Stage-Coaches connected with Paris during six years, ending 1840, was 74, and nearly 2,000 wounded. ••••• I , › , In the Bail Court on Thursday, Mr. Justice Coleridge granted a rule, calling rat Hobbs, the plainiiffin the Qui TAM actions against the newspapers for inserting advertisements of foreign lotteries, to show cause why he should not give security for costs. The Court of Common Pleas made the rule absolute for setting aside the nonsuitin the case of A) ling is. Golding. Tnis was an action for crim. con. that was to have come on for trial at the last Sussex Assizes, but in which the plaintiff' had been nonsuited, in conse qnence of non appearance. It appeared he had been mistaken as to the time appointed for the trial. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn suspended the certificate and the protection of Gibbons, a bankrupt grocer of Eton, for 12 months. In the Insolvent Court, George 43. Allen, who has already been in prison four years, was again remanded on account of his refusal to give up certain title deeds. At the Guildhall, Sir Peter Laurie committed John Ell and Henry Corduroy for stealing, a ,, d John Dodge for feloniously re ceiving certain reams of paper, the proparty of Messrs. Magnay. The prisoners, together with a man named Nicholson, and another named Sharpe, were remanded on several other charges of a simi lar nature. An omnibus conductor, named Wm. S. Bobbett the wearer of the metal ticket 1,036, was charged, at the instance of the registrar, with deceiving a passenger as to the route. The case, which was heard at the Queen's-square Police-ohlce, was fully proved, and the defendant convicted in the penalty of twenty shillins, or fourteen days' imprisonment. It would be well that the public should remember the numbers of those conductors who have been thus convicted, in order that they may avoid them. Osman Cresswell, civil engineer, Cirencester, charged by Mr. Rose, grocer, No. 322, Oxford-street, with having defrauded him of 341. by nieans of a spurious cheque on Pre& and Co., was re manded from Marlborough-street. . At Worship-street, Mr. Jacob Magnus, Trafalgar.place, Hackney-road, appeared, charged with having violated the person of Charlotte Emma Robinson, a delicate looking, girl, fifteen years of age, the daughter of a laundress at Greenwich. The prisoner had lured the proiecutrlx to his house under the pretence of getting her a situation as nurserymaid, and had there perpetrated the offence. The defence was that all that had been done woe with the consent of the girl. The Magistrate said that, from the defendant's own admission his conduct towards the complainant reflected upon him the most indelible disgrace and infamy. He should take time for consideration as to whether the case was suffi ciently strong .to justify his committal upon the charge, and should in the meantime require him to enter into his own recognizance in 2001. and find two responsible sureties in 1001. each for his ap pearance on a future.day. William Smith. a man of colour, belonging to the American ship Massachusetts, lying in the London Dock, was committed from the Thames-court for stealing a silver watch, gold chain and guard, and a gold key, the property of Tomas Antonio Goyim the master of the Spanish ship Sottara. AMERICAN NEW ►•' . ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The steamer Great Western, Captain Mathews, arrived here last night, at ten o'clock. She left New York on the 24th ultimo, and has brought 142 passengers. She arrived at New York, on her outward voyage, on the 16th. The Cele donian reached Boston on the 21st, at night ; her news were published at new York on the 23d; but as the Great Western sailed on the 24th, there was not time to learn its full effect; but!, we think upon the whole that the tone is decidedly pacific. The New pork Courier and Inquirer, in its Money ArCcle for the steamer, gives the following view of the effect pro duced on the public mind by the declaration referred to, and also a concise and accurate outline of other points of im portance : " The news by the Caledonia has called forth no little interest. The discussion in the two Houses of Parliament, and the very re solute tone of that discussion, in respect both of the .British right and of determination to maintain that right, are widely and vari ously canvassed. For ourselves, we look upon it as rather fortu nate, since in all contested questions it is best that both parties should understand each ether as early and as explicitly as possible. On our side the right to all Oregon is officially pronounced un. questionable ; yet we submit it to negotiation, thereby implying certainly that what is unquestionable may nevertheless be a sub. ject of compromise. Perhaps the opinion has prevailed too gene. rally here, that .England did not really attach any great value to her Oregon claim, and upon such an assumption ours has been pushed with increased hardihood. We are now undeceived on that point. The Ministry that is, and those who would like to be Ministers, and the whole Parliament, seemed to have shared exult. ingly in the declaration of the official irersons in both House , , that England has a good title and means to maintain it. Now, then, the ground is cleared of all uncertainties, and the negotiation will of necessity proceed under the positive and equally confident claim of each of the contending parties to a good title to the matter in dispute. Sueh a negotiation, to succeed at all, can have but one issue —mutual concession ; and on that point there cannot be long delay in ascertaining what can and what cannot be done. " The temper of this country, as a whole, is for peace ; though there are portions of it, and particularly the west, where war might be profitable and would not be unpopular. We as. some unhesitatingly that the desire of England is also for peace; „and from these premises we conclude that peace will be preserved ; for it Is contrary to all sense and reason—to say nothing of moral or religious obligations—for two cognate and Christian people to go to war'about a barren region which can be of little use or value to either of them for generations to come. Nevertheless, the effect of the Caledonia's news to-day was, to make men look grave, and though no perceptible fall was occasioned by it in the produce or public stocks, it caused a pause. " The late intelligence from Mexico and Texas also- occupies much of public attention. The possibility that Mexico might at once resent annexation by hostilities has passed away, and the worst now apprehended is a commercial and diplomatic non-in. tercourse. Texas, however, seems uncertain about her course; and annexation is not as eagerly jumped at as seems by its realous friends here to have been anticipated. The delay or reluctance of Texas is put down to the interference of England and France, and therefore some feeling is exhibited. ' , From these combined causes there is uncertainty anst sensi tiveness in the public mind, and therefore business necessarily suffers. " Money is easily had at 6 per cent., and as soon as the banks have made their quarterly statement will be cheaper. " The movements of specie are inconsiderable and unimportant, the tendency being rather to than from this market. " Exchange on England has been active for the Western at from Pi to 9i, and for France as per quotations below. " No certainty can yet be attained respecting the payment by Pennsylvania of the August dividend. We believe the desire and purpose of those now in charge of the Government of that state are to meet its liabilities when and as they accrue, if possible; but it must be added, upon the best information we can obtain, that the• collection from taxes have not come up to the estimates, and there. fore that n - tore doubt is entertained whether the full amount of the August dividend cnn be paid ; but it will be paid rateably to the whole extent of funds in hands, and thus the disposition to do right will be kept up and evinced. "The very disastrous fire at Pittsburgh may not be without disadvantageous effect upon a portion of tax-payers, generally amongst the most punctual. "The Stock market was heavy this morning." The Money Article of the Express says : " The excitement that existed yesterday and the day before, occasioned by the debates in Parliament on the Oregon question, is subsiding, and things are becoming more calm and settled. "The Great Western leaves this afternoon for England. The news she is to take out is of much importance in the present un certainty of political affairs ; but among mercantile men there is nothing very alarming as yet. Although the remarks of the Bri. fish Minister in Parliament on the Oregon question have excited considerable feeling and a good deal of remark, yet they have pro duced no perceptible influence upon the stock market. The south, it is well known, in this country, will not be driven into a war fur tie possession of Oregon, unless England acts unjustly or rashly and the south, in the present position of parties here, holds on that question the balance of power. Mr. Calhoun's views, given iii this paper to.day, are the views of southern statesmen generally. The Rani :al presses make a great deal of noise, particularly such as are in the hands of former British subjects, but they do not represent the feeling in the United States on this or any other question. It would be, however, improper not to add here the conviction is a T tten aass tio w n is i universal that the territory is ours, as we claim it, and that it should not be given up.

It is now understood that the Queen and Prince Albert will leave town for the Isle of Wight this day. Her Majesty will only remain two or three days at Osborne, during which time the Lightning, steam tender, Master Commander Petley, will be in attendance. Madlie d'Este has arrived at Cheltenham from a visiting tour. It is expected that the Caleda►ian fancy dress ball will take place the first week in June under the same distinguished patronage as former years.

On Sunday last fourteen persons read their recantation from the Church of Rome, and received the sacrament according to the rites of the Church of England, in St. Andrew's Church, Dublin. The foundation.stone of a new church, Woolwich, to be turned St. John's, was laid, -at two o'clock, P.M., on Wednesduy, on a piece of ground granted by the Board of Ordance, and situate on the south side of Wellington.street, opposite Brewer.street. the Rev. W. Greenlaw, rector of Woolwich, laid the stone. The Dutch steam-ship Batavier, which arrived at the St. Ka tharine's steam. wharf on Wednesday evening, from Rotterdam, had on board 68 oxen and cows, which were pronounced to be free from disease, after the usual examination had taken place, and de livered immediately, in addition to 55 packages of fish of various de scriptions, 24 cases of eggs, about 270 packages of butter besides cheese, and other articles of Dutch produce, for consumption here. The General Steam Company's steam.thip Earl of Liverpool als9 brought from t,stend 14 cases of poultry, and a large quantity of butter, eggs, &c. On the same day, no less than eight vessels reported at Liverpool as arriving from the island of Ichaooe, bringing between them 3,530 tons of guano; and one vessel had also 6 tons of skins of the penguin, with which bird the island is swarmed, and which is understood to be the cause of the island producing so extensve a supply of this novel description of article for the purpose of manurMg land. _ The ninth annual meeting of the frit-nds and supporters of the Church Pastoral Aid Society was held at Freemasons'-hall, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn- fields; the Right Hon. Lord Ashley, Vice President, in the chair. On the platform were several dig nitaries of the Established Church, and the body of the hall was occupied by a large auditory, composed chiefly of ladies. The Secretary read the report, from which it appeared that since the establishment of the Society the receipts amounted to 120,4264 , and the income for the past year was 22,000/., while the expen diture exceeded 12,000/. Several resolutions to forward 'the So ciety were agreed to. In the northern counties, during the last eight or ten days, a great deal of rain had fallen dell}, and on Sunday last there were several heavy hail showers, with a cold north-westerly wind. Since Tuesday the atmosphere has been somewhat milder; still the rain continues to fall up to this day (Wednesday). Should the wea. ther now becomegenlal and warm, the crops of grass both sown and meadow will be abundant and heavy. The oat crops have made their appearance out of the ground, and look remarkably well and thriving ; and so does the wheat, which, in many districts, has already grown too flush, and is kept back by putting live stock upon it.

There has been an arrival from Rio de Janeiro with intel ligence of the 22d March. The entire province of Rio Grande had been brought into a state of tranquillity, end the Government was highly elated at the result. The f-x -change on London was 24 3 /, and the price of the Stock was 77 to 78. Business was dull. The accounts by the Great Western are so fully given in ancther column that ;re need only remark that generally speaking the comments of the American press are regarded as temperate, and that the subject of the Oregon territory . has evidently been made more of here than Brother Jona than anticipated. Many think that the firmness of Sir - .ert Peel will hasten a favourable denouement, while others imagine that he bas been precipitate. Few, but mere stock speculators, profess however to be seriously baquieted as to the result, although it must be conceded that a few years hence a trifling matter has often lighted up the flame of " horrid war." In the New York market money was expected to become easier, but theAreadful fire at Pittsburgh would prove a sad blow to Peansylvsnia, and perhaps retard the payment of the dividends. Accounts from Prague describe the effects of the inunda tions in Germany as being extremely lamentable. and such as it will require the lapse of many years to repair. The public securities have rallied full IA per cent, and the Ainerican intelligence quite disappoints the Bears. Consols for immediate transfer have been 98% to %, and for time 98% to 99. The market is, unquestionably. rather weak ; but our Contemporary the Times seems a little disposed to "kick the beam." The least that could be done, as the Bulls con sider, is to let things quietly find their level, and not precipi tately to hurry on a re-action. The premium on Exchequer.. bills has been 545. to 56s ; the Sew Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents. are 100% to 100 1 / 1 . ; and the Three per Cents. 97% 97 1 -4 ; Bank Stock is 209 to :1094 ; and India Stock, 276. There has been rather a lively market for the foreign investments, which generally support better prices. Spanish Five per Cents. have been done at 30 1 ,4, and the Three per Cents. at 41 1 ,4 %; Portuguese Converted Bondi are 6612 ;Yi ; Mexican are unsteady, having fluctuated from 36 1 ,4, to 37. Except in a few instaudees, Railway Shares exhibit a want of buoyancy, the foreign lines being weakest. , ONE O'CLOCK. CLOSINti 209 1 4 97; 9814 1034, 11% 11% 276 PRICES OF I.3ItITISH FUNDS.
