I am proud of the confidence, as any man can be, which a great party has placed in me ; still 'never can admit that he owes any personal obligation to those members who have placed him in a certain position, and I should consider it as the happiest day of my life when I was permitted to act merely as an indvidual Member of Parliament, unconnected even with party, rather than continue to hold office by the servile tenure of the advice I give to my Sovereign upon every subject being exactly in con formity with every opinion which every member of that party might hold." Lord Jour; RUSSELL, after ap proving of the measures of the Government, declared that no party views should induce him to oppose what he thought right, and added:-- " I would say to the Government, g Do net stop short with this measure, as you see you have no party differences to fear when you bring forward measures really advantageous to Ireland. What ever obstacles you may meet with, you will not be encountered by the anxiety of those who have lost power to possess themselves of office; expect a majority of this House to go-with you if you fairly and boldly declare your intentions, and rely, as the Right Hon.

From these sentiments we are led to anticipate the dowufal of all those narrow party views which fur so many years have disgraced our Legislature, divided states men into placemen and expectants, caused questions of right and wrong to be regarded but as factious disputes, and given rise to that fatal system of expediency, the curse of modern legislation, which has proved alike destruc tive to the fame of parliaments and Ministers, and op posed to the happiness and welfare of the people. The accounts from Madrid, which are to the 14th inst., are without interest. The Chamber of Deputies had adjourned to the 16th, when it was understood the Cortes would be prorogued by the QUEEN in person. The Court was to leave for Barcelona about the 24th. The Three per Cents. closed at 34 3-16 for cash, and 35 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 241 for cash, and 25i for 60 days; the Coupons at 27i for cash; and the Debt without Interest, at 8i at 60 days. In the French_ Chamber of Deputies, the Minister of Fi nance, in reply to questions put to him relative to the propo sition of M. GANNERON to raise the sum of 25,000,0001. on certain conditions for the construction of railroads, said he could not accept such an offer. The demands were exor- bitant, and he had too good an opinion of the credit of France to contract loans on such disad vantageous terms. The adoption of the line by Haze brouck and Fampoux had caused unbounded joy among the delegates from the department of Pas-de-Calais. One of the Paris papers says—" Scarcely had the President declared the amendment adopted, when they fell into one another's arms , and tumultuously rushed to th e Salle des P as -P er d us , w hi ch the members for the north and Pas-de-Calais were at the time entering. The latter were immediately seized and embraced. The ladies from Fampoux and Hazebrouck, unable to resist so much enthusiasm, fell into the arms of the Hon. Gentlemen. At length the emo tion subsided, and the Delegates, storming a table allotted to the officers of the Chamber, who draw up the reports of the discussions in the Committees, hastened with every paper and pen they could pounce upon, to transmit the glorious news to Fampoux and Hazebrouck." At the opening of the sitting on Tuesday the Minister of Public Works presented a Bill for regulating the police of the Channel fisheries, and also two other Bills, one demanding a vote o 5,000,000 francs to construct a wet dock at St. Nazaire and the other 3,000,000 f. for works on the Adour, between Bayonne and St. Esprit. The Chamber then resumed the dis cussion on the northern line, when it was proposed that the condition of the contract for the branch line from Haze brouck to Fampoux should be the same as for the St. Quentin and St. Creil line, and , that the security should be fixed at 1,500,000 f. This clause was adopted as well as another, of some importance to Boulogne and Ca lais, that no reduction of fares or charges for goods should take place on the lines to these towns which should not be common to both. The debate on the fourth clause relative to the duration of the concession was going on at the hour of post. The Government had proposed a period of 45 years, and the Committee on the Bill had reduced it to 33. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tues day, at 86f. 25c. ; the New, Loan, at 86f. 65c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,252 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,130 f. ; Vierzon, Bf. 30c. ; Havre, 91711 50c. ; Avig non, 1,065 f. ; Basle, 275 f. ; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 62 20; Spanish Active, 40; Spanish Three per Cents., 42 ; Spanish Passives, 8.

The number of Members present at the division on the second reading, which took place on the morning of the 18th of April, was 503, being two less than in the last division, and were arranged as follows : Ayes, 323 ; Noes, 176 ; Tellers, 4. So that the ayes on the second reading exceeded those of the third by 6, and the noes were less by B—a very trifling difference after so many speeches, both in the Rouse and out of it, On looking over the lists we can discover the names of only three Members who have changed sides. These are the Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY, Mr. JOSEPH BROTIIERTON, and Admiral DUNDAS, who reversed their votes. Mr. POULETT SCROPE voted for the second reading, but was absent at the third. Mr. ALEXANDER PRINGLE voted against it, and was also absent at the division this morn ing. Mr. WAWN voted consistently at both divisions in support of the measure. LLOYD'S SHIPPIN G.-(TH IS DAY).

The ungenial state o f the weather is much complained of by all who- are connected with the piece-goods and fancy trades, and the sales usually effected about this time have been much diminished in consequence. In sugar, coffee, and other articles of l arge consumption, there is more business doing than for some time past. The Funds have been steady this morning., but scarcely so high as yesterday. Consols have been 99 1 y, B for present transfer, and abo u t 99% for account. Exchequer-bills have realised 58s. to 60s. premium. Bank Stock has been marked 211, and India Stock 279, being very firm. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 101 1 A %, and the Three per Cents. 98 1 / 1 to 96%.

The Share Market is pretty well supported in most in stances. The most extraordinary movement, however, is the continued rise in Great North of England, which have touched 120 premium, the shares being apparently in first. rate hands. The French lines are not in general so buoyant, and the same may be said of the other Foreign Shares. The English Scrip Shares are relatively not so good as those of the established lines. CHANCERY. -(THIS DA Y.) The Lord Ch ance l lor sat for the first time to.day in his Court at Westminster since the last day of Easter Term. This was the first day of Trinity Term, but in consequence of the arrange ments that have been made for the purpose of facilitating the dis patch of public business, his Lordship did not entertain the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast, but took his seat at eleven o'clock. The whole morning was occupied with the hearing of motions. VICE- CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) Nothing of public interest occurred in the Vice- Chancellor of England's Court. His Honour took motions, after having given judgment in the case of " Fleming v. Swinerton," which came before the Court on demurrer. Nothing of any public interest took place in the Courts of Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce and Vice• Chancellor Wigram. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (PHIS DAY.) Although this is the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges did not breakfast with the Lord Chancellor, and the Courts of Law were consequently opened at an earlier hour than usual. The Judges of the Courts of Queen's Bench and Exchequer appeared in their respective Courts shortly before eleven o'clock. The Judges of the Court of Common Pleas did not take their seats on the berch until one o'clock. There was no case of interest heard in either of the Courts during the course of the morning. There is posted in the passage leading to the Court of Queen's Bench a list of enlarged rules, which will be argued this term In the Bail Court ; two cases, in the order in which they appear on the list, will come on for argument every morning before motions are taken.

The House of Commons met at Four o'Clock. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, attended by two of the Aldermen, appeared at the Bar, and presented a petition from the Corporation, praying that the Hibernian Bank ing Company, and other new joint• stock-banks in Ireland, might be included in the provisions of the new Irish Banking Bill. The second reading of the Malt Drawback Bill was postponed for a week. Capt MANGLES put a series of questions to the Go vernment on the subject of the occupation of Sinde, in reply to which, Sir R. PEEL stated that at present the government of that territory was placed under the superintendence of the Secret Committee, and that as soon as he could do so without prejudice to the public service he would give the House all the information on the subject that it was in his power to give. The adjourned debate on the third reading of the Maynooth Bill was then resumed by Colonel VERNER, who opposed the Bill, and accounted for the apparent apathy of the Protestants of Ireland on the subject by saying that they were deterred by appre hensions of danger from stating their feelings with regard to the measure; and that they con sidered it useless, after seeing how petitions on this subject had been treated, to petition the House. Ile wished to know at once how far the Government in tended to go, that he might be prepared for the worst ; for he knew that this measure, wrung as it was from the fears of the Government, could not conciliate the repeal party of Ireland. Lord H. VANE asked if the Gallant Colonel wished to govern Ireland by force ? -That system had been tried and failed. He supported the measure because as Roman Catholicism was the religion of the large majority of the Irish people, it was the religion best entitled to endow ment, and how those gentlemen who were favourable to religious endowments on principle could oppose this measure he could not understand. • Mr. CoLQUHoUN, in opposing the motion, said that it the Conservative party wished to maintain a character for consistenelthey should, now they were in rower, adhere to those principles which they had maintained in Opposition. He alluded to the state of France as a proof cf the danger of endowing the Roman Catholic religion. The Right Honourable Baronet had, in 1838, adopted the views of the Right Honour. able Member for Selkirkshire, who to his honour had preferred principle to place, a somewhat more creditable course than that pursued by another Hon. Member who had preferred place to either principle or rea son. In 1838, the Right Hon. Baronet had expressed his fears of that section of the Roman Catholics who wished to render civil Government subordinate to eccle siastical rule, and he felt curious to know would the man who told them in 1838 that his fears were justified, tell them, in 1845, that those fears were groundless, unwor thy, and fanatical ? The Hon. Gentleman then attacked in bitter terms, the Roman Catholic priesthood in Ire land, and concluded by reiterating his determination to oppose the Bill to the utmost of his power. Mr. F. MACKENZIE complained that his speech at the Peebles-shire election had been misrepresented. What he had said was, that the small grant to Maynooth had done mischief, and that he would support the large grant as an experiment. He had further recommended the people of Ireland on that occasion to cherish the Union as the people of Scotland had done, to repudiate agitation, and to devote themselves to the cultivation of the land. This was a slight sketch of his speech at Peebles, and such were still his opinions. Mr. NYSE did net recognise, in the number of the signatures to the petitions against this grant; anything like an expression of the universal will of the people ol England. Ireland contributed to the support of English and Scotch ecclesiastical establishments. Ire land was taxed for the English National Debt• The Presbyterians enjoyed the Regium Donum, and yet when it was proposed to make this grant for the educa tion of the Catholic clergy, it was opposed with all the virulence of religious fanaticism, and the Catholic Church was charged with all sorts of fanaticism. This was going back to the days of Lord GEORGE Goa- DON, when all the violence of sectarian zeal was let forth, in order to crush the freedom of religious opinion. By far the better plan would be to sink all those differences, and to avoid those disputes which plucked out of the Gospel the bright gem of charity, and tended to divide men from each other, and to excite those points of dif ference and division which was opposed to every interes of humanity. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. DARBY, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. SHEIL, Mr. PLUDIPTRE, Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, Mr. FERRAND, Captain LA YARD, Mr. WLEAN, Sir R. PEEL, and Lord J. RUSSELL. after which a division took place, when the numbers were, for the the third reading 317, against it, 184— majority 133. Mr. DUNCOMBE then moved that the powers of the Bill should be limited to a period of three years, upon which, after some discussion, the House divided, and the proposition was rejected by a majority of 98. The House then adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock. The division of last night decided the fate of the Maynooth Bill. This result is not the triumph of any sect or faction, it is the triumph of the sacred cause of Justice —an acknowledgment of Ireland's rights and England's duties. We gladly receive this measure for its own sake, but, above all, we hail it as the harbinger of better things —as the first step in a system of legislation, which, not based on the shifting sands of expediency, but founded on the solid rock of principle, shall not veer with every breeze, and quail before every storm, but remain firm and in vincible as truth. It is another triumph for the cause to find those very men who once were chiefs in the ranks of oppression —they who were first amid the arbi trary and intolerant—should now be foremost in the cause of justice—become conciliators, and messengers of peace. They have been taught in the stern but effectual school of experience —they have learned that right is more power ful than might—that tyranny may control for a time, but that justice alone can eventually conquer. Ireland has been the " difficulty" of every British statesman, and no wonder—it must ever be difficult to rule a sister country like a conquered province ; it must .be, and, thank Heaven, it is, not only difficult but impossible to govern a free and generous p,eople by any laws but those of justice and equality; to say to an entire nation "our opinions shall be your opinions, our religion shall be your religion," and " our ways shall be your ways." The power of conscience is the strongest feeling in the human breast. A man that dare not worship his CREATOR without coercion or control has lost his greatest and noblest privilege; his actions may be free, but his spirit is fettered—he is a slave indeed! Would that men of all sects and all religions could concur, in the tolerant words of Lord FRANCIS EGERTON last night, " I believe, indeed, there is light for my guidance, but I do not walk with sufficient confidence to say that others, who pursue different, parallel, or possibly widely divergent paths, are under a sad de lusion, or are rushing to their ruin ; our goal is a com mon one. I hope, I pray, I believe, that many of us may reach it in common." Let us trust the reign of in tolerance is past. The Government have entered upon a course which friends and foes must alike admire ar d approve, they have commenced by acknowledging officially, the just claims of Ireland ; ,they are about to treat English and Irish, irrespec tively, as the common subjects of a common Sove. reign—the common worshippers of the same CREATOR They will proclaim to the neglected and oppressed, " Ye are brothers, ye are men, And we govern but to save." A distinguishing feature in this debate is the absence of party spirit. Last evening the chief of the Govern ment and the leader of the Opposition both de clared their intention to. follow their own opinions regardless of friend or foe. Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke as became his proud position—he boldly declared hi mse lf t h e M i n i ster of England, not the chief of a f ac ti on. We know not if his former promises led his f r i ends to think otherwise, but we are sure that every one must agree with him, that a Minister must do his duty to his country without any regard to indivi duals. "It /media to me," he observed last night, "that a misapprehension is entertained' in . some quarters with Beans. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (Till:-4 DAY.) Group N. WEST CORNWALL RAILWAY. At the sitting of the Committee some conversation ensued re. specting the length of time which the scheme had been before it The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Macaulay) said they had already sat eight days on a line of some '2O or 23 miles in length, and from the waste of time that had taken place it was not unlikely their time might be occupied for many days longer, lie wished to know what course the parties now intended to pursue ? Mr. Rows said he was most desirous to save the time of the Committee, and with that object in view he had abandoned his intention of calling witnesses on behalf of Mr. Thomas, and should then address the Committee in support of that gentleman's case. After some discussion between the promoters of the Bill, the Committee, and the counsel for the petitioner, the Committee de. cided they would lied' . Mr. Rowe. The Learned Gentleman then addressed the Committee. He contended that the promoters had not proved their preamble, and that there were insuperable obstacles to the construction of the line. With respect to the Hayle Railway, five miles and a half in length, which was to become a portion of the main line, he held that the laying down of the broad gauge across public roads, and the various alterations which would be rendered necessary, would require new Parliamentary powers, and that the Committee were not empowered to report favourably on that portion of the line. He cited instances of this on the Croydon and South Devon. In addition to these objec tions, they could not alter or repeal the Hayle Railway Act with respect to the leasing of the line and the alteration of the tolls, which would be rendered necessary by including it in the scheme. Having then no powers at the present moment to effect these important alterations, the first man that stuck a pick-axe in the ground would be liable to be charged at the quarter sessions for so doing. An interregnum of the extent of the Hayle Railway would be the result, and both branches of the main line (that railway being between them) would be rendered unavailable for the purposes of a railway, until they could obtain the necessary powers He referred at great length to the Acts of Parliament in relation to the subject to substantiate the objections he had urged. Group -W. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee on this group re-assembled to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Pakington in th. chair. The examination of witnesses was then continued to prove the necessity for the formation of this railway. he first witness was Mr. William Moorehouse, examined by Mr. WILKINB—If this line were carried out, the vessels which leave Goole, with stone for ports on the eastern coast, would have a greater facility for distributing the corn with which they return laden among the manufacturing districts. He had 37 ves sels employed in the conveyance of stone, coal, &c. The freight of stone and coal to London was 10s. per ton. The corn sent back from the ports on the eastern coast costs generally 2s. per quarter for freight. Considered that the proposed line would diminish the cost of conveyance, and consi derably shorten the time occupied in the transit. The vessels now detained so long by the canal from Goole to Wakefield would have their cargoes at once transferred to the railway, and forwarded in a few hours. The signatures of the petition which he now presented in favour of the line comprised some of the most wealthy inhabitants of Knot tingley. The land in that neighbourhood was very valuable. He sold a single acre himself for 3001. It was intended to be worked for coal. He had 25 shares in the line. By Mr. HARDY — Considered the line under consideration would greatly promote the trade of the district, and would be likely to make a handsome return to the shareholders. (LEFT SITTING.) Group DD. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. The Committee re-assembled this morning at half-past eleven, and shortly after proceeded with the further consideration of the schemes before them. Mr. Miller and Mr. M`Queen, both of Edinburgh, were exa. mined generally as to the traffic from Edinburgh with the manu facturing towns in the western and midland districts of England. They considered that the proposed Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway presented the best and most efficient means of communi cation between Edinburgh and the west of England. Sir James Forrest, Bart., late Lord Provost of Edinburgh, was then examined. It appeared from his evidence that during the last two or three years there had been a very strong feeling in Edinburgh with respect to the supply of water to the inhabitants, and that there had been several attempts to procure an Act of Parliament to effect this object. Many meetings were held, and numerous discussions took place ; and, while the public mind was thus occupied, the promoters of the Caledonian scheme came forward, and tempted the people of Edin burgh to give their approbation to the project, by offering to bring along their line a sufficient supply of water. They even went so far as to promise to give Edinburgh an aqueduct free of expense. If the Caledonian Company had not made this offer, he felt satin. tied that their suffrages would have been given to the Glasgow and Carlisle scheme. Mr. S. Brown, merchant, at Glasgow, was next called—He stated that he carried on a very extensive trade in rouslins in Glasgow, and he was also extensively connected with the counties of Ayr, Dumfries, Wigton, Kircudbright, and the north of Ire land. He had agents in all these places, and he also em ployed persons in the western parts of Scotland in collecting the materials for his manufactures. The fabric produced from his works was of such a nature as to require immediate dispatch to its destined market. The average value of the manufactured material was from 4s. to ss. per pound weight, and its highest value was 17s. for the same quantity. A great quantity of the goods were transmitted to London for dis, posal ; and it was of the utmost importance they should be con veyed thither as speedily as possible after they were manufactured. The cheapest description °foods are usually conveyed to London by means of sailing vessels, but the better qualities are sent by steamers. He was of opinion that the Dumfries line would furnish the best means of communication for all parts, as it not only connected the most important manufacturing towns of Scotland with each other, but also with the northern and western districts of England. Mr. Meacock, shipping agent at Liverpool, deposed that he was in the habit of having goods consigned to him from Glasgow for exportation from the port of Liverpool, The manufactures sent from Glasgow are, for the moat part, in tended for shipment to abroad. They are usually dispatched to North America, the West Indies, and other foreign parts. The goods intended for home consumption, the amount of which is comparatively small, are transmitted to Manchester, Leeds, and other districts in the interior, and eventually they find their way to London, where the principal portion are disposed of. The witness then gave a general description of the present means of communication between Glasgow and the western and midland districts of England. Mr. Newall, merchant at Dundee, deposed as to the present means of conveyance from Dundee to London and other parts. He said that with him cheapness in the transmission of goods was the principal object, and even if they were delayed for two or three days in their dispatch, it was of no great importance. He did not think the construction of a railway to Dundee would materially benefit it. (LE➢T SITTING. Group V. The Committee re-assembled this morning In room No. 9, and Mr. WVATELEY proceeded to call evidence on the part of the opponents of the NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD LINE. Mr. Cavendish, Id. P. for North Derbyshire, was called to show that the Duke of Devonshire's opposition did not arise from any interest he had in the Staveley colleries, but simply because the present project would materially injure his seat of Hardwick. Mr. Devonport showed that the traffic proved before the Corn mittee differed very considerably from that given to the Board of Trade. Mr. Fowler, civil engineer, was employed on the Sheffield and Lincolnshire, and also on the Great Grimsby Railway. The wit. ness was asked whether the Sheffield and Lincolnshire would not be a better line than the one under consideration, when the answer was interrupted by Mr. IlaiNEs, Q.C., who contended that any evidence as to the merits of that railway could not be received, it riot being classed with the other lines to he considered by that Committee. Mr. WHATELEY rejoined, and the room was cleared to allow the Committee to deliberate on the matter. (LEFT SITTING.) Group X. LONDON AND YORK LINE. Tbis Committee assembled to-day at the usual hour in Corn mittee-room No. 8. Mr. PAGET handed in the agreement spoken of yesterday between the Forsdyke Navigation Company and the London and York Com pany, by which it appeared that the terms of the agreement were that the latter should pay the former a sum equal to the amount of the net benefits for three years. The CHAIRMAN announced that when this case should be disposed of, the Committee would take up the Cambridge and Lincoln line. Mr. Pearson, chief shipping clerk to Mr. Angus, of Selby, de posed that his employer had 18 schooners, of 150 tons each, plying between Selby and London. They conveyed all sorts of goods, such as coals, provisions, and the iron manufactures of Lowmore ironworks. Mr. Angus's vessels convey about 20,000 tons of goods annually from London to Selby, and about 28,000 tons from Selby to London. The voyage occupies about eight days. The goods coming to Selby were unshipped there, and sent on to Leeds, where they were reloaded for London. Mr. Joseph Spence, glass manufacturer and chemist, at York-- Sends glass to Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Don caster, Selby, Stamford, Boston, Louth, Norwich, London, &c. ; the description of glass is flint and bottle glass. Travel. lers visit these places from his house about four times a year; it would be a very great advantage to have railway communication to those places from York. To Mr. TALBOT--It would be quite - a matter of indifference to him whether the glass went by branches or a direct line. Here the Committee held a short consultation, and when it had concluded The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had requested him to ex press a hope that the remainder of the evidence would be made as brief as possible, for they had now been engaged 15 or 16 days on this oneline alone ; and as they had several other Bills yet to die. pose of, the Committee did rely on counsel that no evidence would be laid before them which would be mere repetition of what they had already heard, or which would not in fact be deemed very material. Mr: PAGET said he would endeavour to do so, and hoped to be able to conclude the general traffic evidence to-day. Mr. Joseph Waters, agent to Mr. Hunt, of Sheffield, merchant —The weekly average tonnage of goods from Sheffield to London was 80 tons of all sorts of goods, and the expense was 655. per ton. The annual tonnage of goods fr;:m Sheffield to Hull was 13,000 tons, and the cost per ton was 20s. by rail, and 10s. by canal. The cost per ton from Sheffield to London by railway and canal by Derby was 455.. The saving to be effected by the proposed line would be very considerable. The mode of conveyance from Sheffield to Lincoln was by land ; the expense of transit at present was 30s. per ton; the cost by the proposed London and York line would be 11s. Bd. per ton. From Sheffield to Lincoln, by Boston and Hull, the expense was at present 465., and by the Fersdyke navigation, 40s. By the proposed line it would be 15s. From Sheffield to Spalding the route was by Leicester and across the country, and was very indirect. The cost was 80s. and 50s. per ton, the average was 60s. By the proposed line it would be 16s. sd. From Sheffield to Cambridge there were various modes of transit by Leicester the cost was I Os., and by London about the same; by Hull it was 605., and by Northampton about the same; the average was about 70s. ; by the proposed line the expense would be 225. To Repford from Sheffield, the mode of transit was by land only. The present cost was 201. ; by the proposed line it would be Bs. 8,1. From Sheffield to Huntingdon the mode of conveyance was by land. The present cost was 705.; by the proposed line it would be 20s. From Sheffield to Hull by rail the present cost was 20s. ; by the proposed line it would be 15s. From Sheffield to London the pre sent cost was 655. ; by the proposed line it would be 375. Bd. There was a considerable traffic between Manchester and the eastern counties, but he had not the particulars. Mr. John Boys, manager for Messrs. Watson, the largest mer chants in Manchester—The proposed London and York line would afford great facilities for the transit of goods from Man chester to Norwich, and all the towns in the midland counties ; the traffic between Manchester and those towns was very extensive.
