The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. The Mutiny Bill and the Marine Mutiny Bill passed through Committee. On the motion of the Earl of JERSEY, a return of the number of bank notes in circulation in Scotland during the ten years from 1834 to 1844, was ordered to be laid oa the table. Lord Baoronix then drew the attention of the House THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1845 to the necessity of a greater stringency in the standing orders on the subject of railway Bills. He proposed to narrow considerably the power at present possessed by railway companies of deviating from the line. He thought they ought to be restricted to twenty yards on each side, and if in consequence of accident they were compelled to trespass on the property of the adjoining landowners, he would leave them to make their own bar gain with the person on whose property they had en tered, without the intervention of a jury. _ _ _ The Marquis of BREADALBANE complained of the hostility manifested by the Noble and Learned Lord to all railway schemes ; and The Earl of DALHOUSIE refused to go into the question at present, and would content himself with saying that some of the statements of the Noble and Learned Lord were overcharged. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four. The second reading of the Hemel Hempstead Small Tenements Bill, on a division, was carried, the num hers being :—For the second reading, 69 ; Against it, 39 ; Majority in favour of it, 30. Various motions standing for this evening were pcst poned, in order that the adjourned debate on Maynooth might be resumed. In answer to a question by Mr. F. FRENCH, Sir T. FRE3IANTLE said that it was not the intention of the Government to propose any alteration in the Irish poor-law. It had worked well hitherto, and the Govern ment were determined to give it a fair trial. Sir J. GRAHAM fixed the second reading of the Medi cal Bill for Monday, and Mr. WAHLEY gave notice of his motion on the subject of the College of Surgeons' Charter for Tuesday. Mr. FERRAND moved that the petition of the Dublin Operative Conservative Associatien. praying for the im peachment of Sir R. PEEL, be printed. The motion was seconded by Mr. HINDLEY and op posed by Colonel RAWDON and Lord NORTHLAND. The opposition was grounded on the fact that the peti tion was couched in language offensive to the Roman Catholic subjects of her Majesty. Mr. REDINGTON did not consider the expressions in that petition as more offensive than those contained in the coronation oath. Sir R. INGLIS supported the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM said that if the petition was to be made the foundation of a motion respecting the allega tions against the First Minister of the Crown, no mem ber of the Government could offer the slightest opposi tion to the printing of the petition. Mr. FERRAND said that on the third reading of the Maynooth Bill he should bring forward a motion to the following effect :—" That the Catholic Bequests Act was a violation of the Act of Settlement, and a contra vention of the oath of supremacy." Lord J. RcrssELL considered that the allegations in the petition were frivolous, and should therefore oppose the motion for printing it. After a few words from Mr. S. CRAWFORD, Mr. LID DELL, Mr. REDINGTON, and Mr. DUNCOMBE, Mr. FERRAND said he did not intend to make a dis tinct motion on the subject of the petition, and, amidst the loud laughter of the House, withdrew his motion. The adjourned debate on the subject of Maynooth was then resumed by Major BERESFORD, who opposed the Bill, on the ground that, as had been stated by the Home Secretary on a former occasion, concession had reached its limits. Colonel VERNER opposed the grant, as mischievous in tendency and unjust in practice. It would be ill re ceived by the Irish Catholics, and excite suspicion in the minds of the Protestants. Mr. HUME considered that the course adopted by the Government was the only one calculated to put down that agitation in Ireland which had arisen from the refusal of that justice to which the Irish had a right, and that this measure would remove some of those grievances of which the Irish had a right to complain. Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed the proposition of the Government. Mr. PAKINGTON supported the measure, and denied, that the present Government had made the " No Popery" cry a stepping-stone to office. They had only raised a cry to defend the Protestant religion when they really thought it was in danger ; and he for one was ready to take the same course again. Mr. P. M. STEWART protested against the Govern ment throwing away the weapon by which they had ob tained power, viz., the "No Popery" cry. He believed that in consenting to this measure they were violating the protest which this country had made against Popery. Although he might be in a minority in the House, he was in a majority in the nation, and he should certainly record his vote against the measure. The House was subsequently addressed by the Earl of LINCOLN, Lord WOESLEY, Mr. M. MILNES, Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, Sir J. HANMER, and Mr. Ross ; after which the debate was adjourned, on the motion of Mr. HAMILTON. The accounts from Ireland respecting the grant to Maynooth are on the whole satisfactory. The measure appears to give general satisfaction to the Catholics, but the value of the boon is greatly diminished by the strong feeling evinced against it in England, and the revival of the " No Popery " cry, of which not a whis per has been heard for years till now, though Puseyism, or Popery, has been making such fearful inroads on the Protestant Establishment. At Oxford, one of the great fountains of national education, the Catholic reli gion is prized far above the Protestant ; several of the teachers of youth openly avow its tenets, others, with more tender consciences, have gone over to the an cient faith, and not a few of the Bishops have been exerting themselves to bring back the po • pulation to the bosom of Mother Church ; but, if we except the demonstrations exhibited in two or three dioceses where the attempt has been made prematurely, there has been little said against such traitorous proceedings. Have not the Irish, therefore, reason to complain that this religious zeal of the Eng lish and Scots is very partial, and that they submit with wonderful composure to the spread of the Catholic reli gion in England and in all her colonies, and kw ' it with horror only when it is associated with the sister country. Such a contradiction is quite inexplicable here, but in Ireland, we regret to find, the cause is attri buted not so much to religion as to a hatred of the Irish nation. That hatred unfortunately is too mani fest in many instances. Their priests are reviled, and the system adopted at Maynooth is described as tending only to evil, as preg nant with mischief to the community, and an en couragement to rebellion and immorality. So invete rate is this prejudice in some English minds, that the only Government journal in London cannot defend the grant without insulting the Irish. Was there ever such a preposterous argument in support of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy, as the following put forth in the Morning Herald ?—After adverting to the Charitable Bequests Bill, the bewildered writer says : " But next comes the Maynooth Bill as necessary to complete the work of permanent pacification. With the priests of the present class—heated with politics, illiterate and unfitted for habits of either restraint or economy by a long life Of coarse indulgence—rothing can be done having the least Promise of success ; and therefore it is necessary to improve the education of the future priest.. h00d.." Well may Sir ROBERT PEEL exclaim, " Save me from my friends." Mr. O'CONNELL, at the Repeal meeting on Monday, adverted to this uncharitable spirit with great mildness—a quality for which he is not re markable—and spoke of it in sorrow rather than in anger. He condescended to refute the calumnies raised against the prelates and the inferior clergy educated at Maynooth. " Our enemies," said he, " have been villifying Maynooth in all manner of ways. Now, he could tell them on in disputable authority, that of upwards of 15,000 students who went through the course of education at Maynooth during the past fifty years, not a single one was ever charged with a crime—not one was ever brought before a magistrate charged with an offence. It was a miracle that of 15,000 young men, with all the weakness of manhood, not one was brought before the authorities charged with a crime." Can Oxford or Cambridge, or the Universities of the: North say as m ? We will no t f urn i s h i ns t ances t o th e c on t rar y, and at becausethe last rtain proceedings in our Ecclesiastical Courts, assizes, are fresh in the memory of every reader.

Mr. Huxz has a notice on the paper, for the 17th (to morrow), of a character that d emands our best atte tion. It is to the effect—" That this House will, on the day of April, resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider the following resolution: That an humble address be presented to her MAJESTY, pray ing that she will be graciously pleased to grant such a pension as she shall think proper to the Right Hon. Sir HENRY POTTINGER, Bart., K.C.8., as a reward for his eminent public services, and especially for having, as h er MAJESTY'S Plenipotentiary in China, brought the war in that country to a conclusion by a peace alike honour? able and advantageous, and to assure her MAJESTY that this House will make good the same.' " There may or there may not be technical objection to the form and wording of this reso'utior.—a question into which we do not fed ourselves qualified now to enter. But there is no mistake, and can be no doubt, about the truly public-spirited motive which has dictated the no- Lice. Mr. HUME has now been before the public for up- wards of forty years in the character of a consistent, jealous, and uncompromising guardian of the public purse. In that capacity he has fearlessly pursued, through good report and through evil report, the unbroken tenor of his self-imposed but most important duty. The exercise of functions such:as that duty supposes, often invidious, always liable to misconstruction, and never secure of being duly appreciated by a contemporary ge neration, demands the rare union of sustained energy, unsleeping vigilance, and uncompromising disinterested ness. The worst enemy of Mr. HUMB—and he has many more than might have been anticipated from the admitted advantage which the public has realised from his labours in the work of retrenching the public expen diture, and developing the resources of the public re venue—the worst enemy he has cannot dispute his dis interestedness. Had he sought office, there have fallen out abundant occasions on which be could have com manded it. We can all of us remember some conjunc tures when the Ministerial succession has been in abeyance," as it were, for days and even weeks together, to the great uneasiness of the public mind. It is certain that had Mr. HUME, in these instances, sought to em barrass the free action of the constitutional choice of the Sovereign, he was at the head of a section in the House of Commons whose support or opposition must have made or marred the newly-formed Cabinet before it could have concentrated its strength for active Par liamentary warfare. But Mr. HUME was pledged to measures—not to men ; and he fairly and honourably gave opportunity to the new servants of the Crown to make good their appeal, if they could, to the confidence and favour of the nation. A general concurrence of political opinions, and views of commercial as well as fiscal policy, has not enabled us, on all occasions, to go with him in some of his extreme notions connected with such matters. We have found ourselves differing from him widely at times, and have felt ourselves bound to record that dissent in very unequivocal and emphatic ' terms ; but we have always remained convinced of the honesty of his prepossessions, even when we could not coincide in them. In short, whether in consideration of the vigilance to detect, and the energy to expose, abuses, which his whole Parliamentary career has mani fested—of the disinterestedness with which he has main tained that career against open vituperation and secret obloquy, only to be silenced by the invincible fact of his voluminous efforts being unimpeached by any solicitation for, and unrequited by any dispensation of, office, or patronage, or emolument—or, of the millions by which he has directly or consequentially reduced the public expenditure—we hold that a very inadequate expression of public fvour and respect has yet been proffered to him, in return for his almost innumerable services, in a very various and extended sphere of usefulness. We have dwelt on these facts the rather because th e y singularly enhance the value and, significancy of a com pliment which even so meritorious and distinguished a public servant as Sir H. POT'TINGER may well feel gra tified to have elicited from Mr. HUME. For Mr. HUME to take the initiative in proposing an address to her MAJESTY to grant this eminent diplomatist such a pen sion as her MAJESTY shall think fit," without previous suggestion or stipulation of any kind as to its amount, is a triumph less marked, indeed, by the splendour or brilliancy of its accessories than festivals, and ban quets, and balls in his honour in all the mercantile capitals and emporia of the kingdom, But Sir HENRY may feel assured that such a step, by such a man as Mr. HUME, towards moving the Crown to so signal an act of grace and recognition in his (Sir HENRY'S) be half, is a certain and unfailing assurance (if that indeed be wanting) of the confirmation which the British public is fully prepared to give to any, even the most impres sive and munificent testimony of appreciation and confi dence which the SOVEREIGN maybe advised to tender to one of its most accomplished and successful servants. We congratulate Sir H. POTTINGER most cordially on this remarkable tribute to, and effect of, his rare abilities and rarer fortune. Whatever may be the fate of Mr. HUME'S motion, the object it purposes to achieve can• not long remain unperfected ; but the manner in which it has occurred to the most inflexible and unsparing champion of economy in the disbursement of the public money thus to originate au act of national respect and bounty, without even preliminary conditions or limita ions, is alike extraordinary, interesting, and honourable :o all parties concerned in it. The Madrid Gazette of the Bth publishes a decrea giving the royal assent to the following resolution adopted by the Cortes :—" The property of the secular clergy that is unsold, and the selling of which was sus • pended by the royal ordinance of the 26th of July, 1844, shall be restored to the clergy." The Chamber of De puties met on the Sth. All the Ministers were present, and previous to the commencement of the discussion on the budget, General NARVAEZ, amidst gmeral attention, rose and read the following decree relative to the mar riage of the QUEEN-MOTHER with Don FERNANDO MUNOZ : "Considering the powerful reasons submitted to me by my august mother, Donna Maria Christina de Bourbon, and after hearing my Council of Ministers, I authorise her to contract marriage with Don Fernando Munoz, Duke de Rianzares ; and I declare that, by contracting that mar riage of conscience with a person inferior in rank, she has forfeited nothing in my heart and tenderness, that she shall retain all the honours and prerogatives belonging to her as Queen-Mother; but that her husband shall enjoy only the honours, prerogatives, and distinctions belonging to his rank, and retain his armorials and name; the children that shall issue from this marriage shall be subjected to the pro visions of article 12 of the ninth law, title the 2d, book the 10th, of the New Collection of Laws, and shall be enabled to inherit the free property of their parents, in conformity to the provisions of those laws. "Given at the Palace on the 11th of October, '1844. (Signed) " THE QUEEN, _ The QUEEN'S Civil List was 'then voted unanimously and the pension to Queen CHRISTINA of 30,000/. was car. ried by a majority- of 116 to 9. The funds rose considerably on the Bth, and conside rable transactions took place in the Three per Cents., which closed at 351 cash, and 35i at 60 days. Five per Cents., 26 at 60 days. Passive Debt, 81, at 60 days. Vales Reales, 101 at 60 days. The Paris papers bring no intelligence of importance' On Monday, at nine in the morning, the KING left the Tuileries for the Chateau d'Eu, where he will remain, it is said, till Friday. The Presse states, that previous to his departure, his MAJESTY signed five ordonnances, raising the following persons to the Chamber of Peers —The Duke of TREVISO, M. BERLIN DE VAUX, M. VICTOR HUGO, General ACIIARD, and M. LE TILLEY. The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the grant to Maynooth, in which it gives long extracts from SYD NEY SMITH'S "Fragment on the Irish Church," an outline of the discussions in the Commons, and other particu lars, which may render the subject intelligible to fo reigners, but possesses little interest for the English reader. These journals contain an account of the proceeding s in the extraordinary Diet, which met at Zurich, on the 10th. M. KERN, Deputy of Thurgau, read the report of the Committee appointed to investigate the late un fortunate cccurrences at Lucerne, which may be thus summed up:— " The Committee commenced by obtaining accurate no tions of the state of facts. It first of all heard the Federal Commissioners. These expressed a fear that some capital executions might take place at Lucerne in the course of the week. The accounts of the state of the prisoners were not very favourable. Huddling them together in a way to en gender sickness was particularly complained of ; the wounded were better treated. After having heard the Federal Com missioners, the Committee sent for two of the Deputies of Lucerne, MM. Siegwart and Attenhofer, who declared that it was impossible that executions or even judgments'could take place during the week ; that the proceedings and their consequences would demand several weeks. The Deputies of Lucerne took this occasion to express a desire that the Diet should not adopt any measures likely to attack the can tonal sovereignty. This circumstance engaged the Commit tee to examine the question of the amnesty in all points of view, and it came to the decision that the most efficient means of arriving at favourable ground for this question was to pro pose measures in completion of the decree of the 20th of March respecting the free corps, and to order the political refugees to be removed from the Lucerne frontier." M. KERN'S report was listened to with the utmost in terest, and after it came very long discussions (from nine in the morning until five in the evening) on the two p'opositions first presented by the Committee. That of the free corps met with but little opposition, even on the part of the states which rejected it three weeks back, but it called forth violent recriminations between the deputies of Lucerne and Argau, on the part taken by the volunteers in the last troubles. In this discussion, the exultation of the victors was manifested without con cealment. The proposed decree did not please them, be cause, in their opinion, it did not go far enough, in not placing a direct responsibility of a character sufficiently strong on the cantonal governments which might tolerate freet mg h eo e trhee rs e c ov o ne r lry p e s .

Some other Deputies, who spoke in favour of the same con siderations, desired to see some changes made in the wording. On the vote, eight states and two half ones pronounced in favour of not meddling with the matter. Nine states and one half state voted against the proposition of the majority of the Committee. Thre other states kept the protocol open. Thus there was no majority either one way or the other. All the mem bers of the Diplomatic corps were present at the sitting. The Diet was to take into consideration the other pro positions contained in the report; but this grand Council evidently is without power, the representatives of the different cantons cannot agree on material points, and a sufficient number of votes either one way or the other cannot be obtained, so as to render any decision e flee Live.

The first is a general sketch of the north-west coast of America, with the different boundary lines clearly marked ; and the other " The United States and the relative position of the Oregon and Texas." They are accompanied with a small work giving a chronological statement of the events connected with the rights of Great Britain, and the claims of the United States to the Oregon territory.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—John Powric, a baker carrying on business in rinsbury.pavement, and Caroline Powrie, his wife, surrendered on bail to answer a charge of conspiring to get rid of an infant. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane for the defendants. It appeared that the male defendant met a young woman whom he knew, named Gillespie, but who neither knew him by name or occupation, in Smithfield, on the 16th of January, and sated her if she would take charge of an infant, then unborn, and get it on the parish, if he gave her 51. She refused, but said she would speak to her landlady, Mrs. Milbourne, living in Field•place, Fetter-lane about it. She afterwards met him at his request, and took him to this person. Mrs. Milbourne mot him by appointment in Fetter lane on the night of the 11th of February. The female defendant was there with an infant in her arms, which she gave to her, to gether with a 5/. note. Mrs. Milbourne had previously communi cated with the police, having had her suspicions strongly excited and City police-constable Finn, having been placed on the spot, came up and took the female defendant into custody. The male defendant took to his heels on seeing the constable. He was afterwards taken into custody, and both were held to bail at Guild. hall Police-office to answer the charge for which they were in dicted to.day. The infant was but a few hours old on the day mentioned, the 11 th of February, and Mrs. Milbourne was di rected by the male defendant to endeavour to get it into the West London Union, and was to receive 5/. for her trouble. In the conversation which he had with both her and the girl, Gillespie, he expressed his anxiety to get rid of the child altogether. Whese child it was, or why so much anxiety was evinced to cast it off and disown it, heedle ss of its fat e , and in the heartless manner described, was not made p ublic.

On Wednes day, the 9. 6t h of ispril last, the prisoner absconded, taking with him a cashbox, containing 15 sovereigns, a Si. Birmingham bank note, three bills of exchange, for 3/. each, and various memoranda. No tidings whatever could be gained of him until last evening he was taken into custody. On being charged with the robbery, he confessed it, and said he had spent the money in roaming about different parts of Kent. When apprehended he had no money in his possession, and was evidently in a state of extreme destitution. Mr. MALTBY asked him if he intended to say any thing then.— He replied, " No; I've nothing to say for myself." He was fully committed. A second charge was gone into against him, on which he was also sent for trial. ITTEES. RAILW ( A T Y HI C s O i M )A M y.) SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY—MAIDSTONE AND ROCHESTER LINE.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Monday evening was the last night of the season at this theatre, and the performances were for the benefit of Miss Davenport, who appeared first of all as the Duchess of Guise in her own play, and afterwards as Lady Teazle in the School for Scandal. Of her Duchess of Guise we have already spoken. Her Lady Teazle was excellent, and will add greatly to the already high reputation which she enjoys. The house was crowded to excess, and she was received throughout with the utmost enthusiasm. The Warlock cif the Glen concluded the evening's amusements, in which Mr. Davenport, the father of the fair manageress, took his final farewell of the stage in his favourite character of Andrew. He addressed the audience at the conclusion of the piece, and returned them his thanks for the support they had given his daughter. Thus termi. nated the first season of Miss Davenport's management at thi Olympic Theatre. Whether it has bean a successful season in a pecuniary point of view we know not, but in a dramatic point of view it has been most successful. It has, in the person of Miss Davenport, given us an accomplished artist of the most versatile talent, and one who even now is unrivalled as the representati - e of the juvenile heroines of tragedy and comedy—who has made such characters as Juliet, and Horatia, and Juliana, her own; and it has also restored to the legitimate drama a theatre which had previously been appropriated to the representation of melodramas of the New. gate Calendar school. The gratitude of every true lover of the drama is due to Miss Daysnport for her exertions, and we heartily wish that success may attend her. Her powers ought to com mand it—her exertions always deserve it. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE GREAT BRITAIN.— In consequence of the unfavourable weather yesterday her Ma jesty has postponed her visit to this stupendous iron steam-ship until next Tuesday. Her Majesty was to have embarked on board the Dwarf, iron-screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Beau. cham Proctor, at Greenwich Hospital. Every preparation had been made at that place and on board the Great Britain, to receive the Sovereign in a suitable manner. SEVERE GALE.—Yesterday it blew a severe gale from nearly N.N.E , accompanied with violent squalls and heavy showers. The numerous tiers of shipping on the river rode heavily, but none of them parted from their moorings. The tempestous state of the weather since Sunday, and particularly yesterday, has prevented the departure of a great number of vessels from the docks and wharfs, laden and ready for sea, and which were cleared out wards at the Custom-house on Saturday and Monday. The wind on Sunday and Monday being from about W. N. W., and therefore favourable for the departure of vessels, several sailed from the wharfs, but soon afterwards anchored in the Pool and lower parts of ,the Thames, where they remained yesterday afternoon. Owing to the violence of the gale yesterday, several ships, laden with rich and valuable cargoes, from India and China and other distant parts, although in tow of two steam-packets, were compelled to anchor in various parts of the river, above and below Gravesend. When this gale moderates, they will be towed to their respective docks. Several continental steamers are overdue. Considerable apprehensions are entertained for the safety of vessels on the east and south coasts. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the gale moderated a little, but soon afterwards resumed its former violence. Last night it continued to blow very hard, and the atmosphere had a threatening and gloomy appearance. Most of the shipping on the river and in the various docks had their topmasts struck. Nothwithstanding the boisterous state of the weather yesterday, the temperature was less cold. At noon the thermometer at the Dockrnaster's Office, St. Katherine's (a very exposed situation), which on Sunday and Mon day averaged 43 degrees, indicated 48 1 4. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a melancholy accident, by fire, occurred to Mrs. Elizabeth Mekins, thirty-two years of age, the wife of a Freneh polisher, East-street, Manchester-square. It appears that the unfortunate female was busily engaged boiling some combustible ingredients for making French polish, in an earthen pipkin, when it boiled over and ignited. In her alarm, she placed the pipkin on the hearth, and the fire communicating to her dress, she was instantly enveloped in flames. Her screams brought the assistance of some lodgers, who succeeded in extinguishing them, but not before she was dread. fully burnt. She was immediately removed in a cab to the hospital, where she lies without a hope of recovery. ST. SAVIOUR'S, SOUTHWARK.—Some thieves ob tained an entrance into the vestry of St. Saviour's Church on Monday night, by breaking the stained glass window. After forcing the locks of several cupboards and drawers without finding anything valuable, and drinking one bottle of wine, the parties retired. The plate, which appears to have been the object of the visit, has not been kept in the church for some years. SUICIDE IN K E NSINGTON-GARDENS.--Yesterday afternoon Mr.Wakley, M.P.,coroner held an inquest at the Glou-, cester Arms, Kensington, on view of the body of Mr. Henry Jenes aged seventy years, who was found hanging to a tree in Ken. sington-gardens, on the afternoon of Friday last. Mrs. Caroline Dodds deposed that she resides at No. 51, Dorset-street, Salisbury. square, Fleet-street, and the deceased had been a lodger of hers for the last two years. Witness first discovered his death by seeing the account of the body being found In the newspapers, when she suspected, from the description given, that it was the deceased, and went to the Kensington workhouse and identified the body. Deceased left the house about twelve o'clock on Friday. He lived filth witness as a gentleman, never doing anything, but she did not know anything about his property. Latterly deceased had fallen off in the payment of his rent, and went daily into the City, as he said, about money. On Thursday last he told her he had been die. appointed of money, and he appeared very much distressed and de. pressed in mind. The Coroner said that in the absence of any evidence of the state of deceased's mind, the jury had better return a verdict Oat the deceased was found hanging in Kensington. gardens, supposed by his own act, but as to the state of his mind at the time there was no evidence to show. The jury, being of the same opinion,,returned a verdict to that effect. SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE.—Last evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Malpas Arms, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of a man unknown, apparently about 45 years of age. It appears that about half.past eight o'clock son Saturday night last the deceased was observed by one of the Royal Humane Society's boatmen, walking backward and forward on the north bank of the Serpentine, in Hyde-park. Shortly afterwards a plunge was heard in the water, about fifty yards from the receiving.house. A skiff was rowed to the spot, and after dragging about eight minutes the body was found about twelve yards from the shore. It was conveyed to the receiving-house, and the usual restoratives applied, but in vain. The deceased is of fair complexion, with light brown hair, and his right eye was blackened with a blow. He is about five feet seven inches in height, and was dressed in a black dress coat, drab waist Coat, cor duroy trousers, blucher shoes, and linen shirt. All his clothes were very old. No money or papers were found upon him to lead to a discovery of his friends. Verdict, "Found drowned." A correspondent states that an active emissary, engaged in obtaining signatures to petitions against Sir Robert Peel's measure for the endowment of the clerical college of May nooth, on being asked by a farreel, whose name he sought, what it was all about, replied that " Parliament was a-goin to give the papishes tithes all the same as the other clargy."

In the sitting of the 3d instant the Minister of Fin ahe uc teo that when Mr. Florido went to London in 1843, he was it otr t los t to broach the subject of a conversation to the bondholders, hu po oSi shortly after al riving there, he wrote to say that such a P r t xtic' would then be premature. That, subsequently, similar ill'oefef lions had been sent to the financial agency, who, however , c ell' took any steps towards that end ; and that it was in th is c ote juncture that the contractors, Folgosa and Junqueira, d st forward and offered to undertake it. He (the Minister) °Des lei first objected strongly to the contract, and only agreed to it e n vi tlis fully convinced of its great utility in saving the country In d, et° crushing burden which the ascending scale of interest wou ed, long, bring down upon it.
