Mr. FOSTER asked the Honourable Gentleman the Under Secretary for the Colonies if he had any objection to lay on the table of the House the Government dispatches received from New Zealand on the Ist inst. ? Mr. HOPE thought the House would agree with him that these dispatches were for the information of Govern ment and not for the information of Parliament. At the same time, however, he could state that these dispatches were all ready, and he had no objection to lay such parts of them cn the table as the House might wish to gee. RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION (SCOT LAND) BILL. Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to call the attention of the Lord Advocate t) a report which had gone abroid, to the effect that the Learned Lord had allowed an Hon. Member to add a clause to the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill of Scotland, without giving any previous notice of its nature, and at a time when the 13111 was in its last stage, and there was necessarily but a small attendance of Members in the House. When he mentioned what the clause was, he thought the House would agree with him, that it was one of considerable importance. The provision was no less than this—that every future railway to be constructed in Scot land, should give an indemnity or guarantee to the landed pro prietors of Scotland for any loss they might sustain through any turnpike• road being affected by the construction of the line. It had created considerable excitement in Scotland ; and he wished to know whether the facts he hxd stated were correct? The LORD ADVOCATE said the clause was similar to one introduced into the Bill relating to England, and he did not think the Committee bad sanctioned any unusual or unjus• clause IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The House met at the usual hour. IRISH CONSTABULARY.—SANATARY REGULATIONS. The Maquis of NORNIANBY gave notice that he would, on Alonday next, move for a return of the appointment of the constabulary from the lot of May, 1838, to the present time. He would on the same day also present a petition from the Mayor and town council of Kilkenny, in the county of Leiniter on the subject of sanatory regulations in towns. The Noble Marquis also gave notice that he would put a ques tion on the same day, in order to ascertain how semi the Go vernment Bill oa this subject would be introduced before the House. HILL COOLIES-SUNDAY TRADING-LOCAL RATES. The NOBLE MARQUIS also presented a petition, numerously signed, from the town of Leeds against the introduction of bill coolies into Jamaica ; also petitions from Yorkshire against the opening of public-houses on Sunday ; also a petition from the Mayor and Town• Coun i cil of Cork, praying that instead of the grand jury, they should have some other tribunal for the L settlement of local rates. THE WELSH BISHOPRICS.: The Bishop of BANGOR presented several petitions from places in Wales praying for a repeal of the Act uniting the biat.orritm of {2.n µ^r n,etd Ck- A ao,r6. INCOME-TAX.—IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a house owner in the district of St. John's-wood, complaining of the oppressive operation of certain parts of the Income-tax Bid. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from tradesmen against the administration of the Act passed last Sear abolish• ing imprisonment for debts under 201. The petitioners eid tot object to the abolition of imprisonment, but they complained that creditors had not an adequate remedy. PUNISHMENT OF PAUPERS FOR NON-PAYMENT MR. MAZZINI. Sir C. NAPIER ,aid that he . perceived a statement in the public newspaper declaring positively that Mr. Mazzini had nothing at all to do with that order for the murder of Rodez, which was alleged by the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Depo tment to have been signed by him. It appeared from the statements in the paper that the order was a forgery, and that Mr. Mazzini was not in France at the time the order was made. He wished, therefore, to ask the Right Hon. Baronet if he still maintained his charge, or whether he was prepared to follow the example of the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury, and make an apology to Mr. Mazzini ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, that the Hon. and Gallant Officer was not so obliging as to give him any notice of his intention to put such a question. He should have thought that he would have observed the ordinary rule of the House in such a matter. But, as that rule had not been observed, he could scarcely be expected to answer the question now. However, he would say this, that he had seen letters written by Mr. Mazzini, to which the question of the Hon. and Gallant Officer referred ; and he (Sir J. Graham) last night laid upon the table of this House, by command of her Majesty, certain papers which bore di rectly upon this question. The House would remember that, when he was making his statement to it upon this question, he said distinctly that part of the accusation against Mr. Maz zini did not rest on official information, but on certain letters which he (Sir J. Graham) held in his hand.—( Hear, hear.) He had heard that it was the intention of Mr. Mazzini to pro. secute the Moniteur newspaper for an alleged libel contained in that paper, but that he did not follow it up ; and he had also heard that Mr. Mazzini did take an action against another paper for the same, and that he had not succeeded in proving the allegation. But he told the Hon. Member for Finsbury that he had never seen those letters or papers, and, therefore, could rot tell what the nature of the accusation was. —(Hear, hear.) He (Sir J. Graham) really knew nothing more of the subject than this and what he had already stated, except that he had heard that the accusation in the Moniteur was ill-founded ; and he should now say he was bound to state that he did not intend to persevere in the accusation against Mr. Mazzini, and had therefore withdrawn it.—(Hear, hear. ) MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. vintser.n n.„, a se ennyr " .........;-- of the R ght Hon. Baronet opposite to introduce the Bill for the proposed increased grant to May nooth ? The reason he asked the question was because he had been requested by a large body of Dissentors to put off the second reading of the Bill for a fortnight. Sir R. PEEL said that, in consequence of the resolution of the House in Committee last night, in favour of the Bill, Mr. Greene had rec., ived directions to prepare it ; and the House then fixed upon Friday next as the day upon which the second reading of that Bill should take place, and it would, therefore, receive a second reading on that day.—( Opposition cheers. ) Mr. rLumpTiu.: said he was requested to inquire whether the time for the second reading of the Bill might not be ex tended beyond Friday next ? LORD ASHBURTON AND LORD J. RUSSELL. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he wished to ask a question of the Hon. Gentleman, the Under Secretary of the Colonies, on a subject which was personal to himself. He had seen within the last few hours a statement, purporting to have been made by Lord Ashburton with regard to a speech made by him (Lord John Russell) on a late occasion. He would say, in the first place, that a friendship existed between him and Lord Ash burton, which friendship began when that Noble Lord and himself were of the same opinion is politics—( Hear, hear, and a laugh)—and that the difference which had taken place in their political opinions had nor interrupted the cordiality with which they always met to geti er whenever it was his good fortune to meet that Noble Lord, and that nothing was further from his wish, in the discharge of his public duty, than to say any thine personally unkind of that Noble Lord. —(Hear.) 'ln the coulee of the discussion on the navy estimates a discussion, quire unexpected by him, arose with regard to the treaty concluded by Lord, Ashburton evil: America. That discuseien was introduced by Isis Nob:e Friend near him, anti, in consequt nee of what had fallen front the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, he (Lord John Russell) had referred to a matter which he conceived to be correctly stated, as far as his recollection en the subject served. He had said that he thought it was advisable there should be some arrangement made by which the forces of Great Britain an d A mer i ca s hould occupy a certain position, which should be the boundary between the two States, For that purpose he had instructed Lord Sydenham to carry on negotiations with that object, with the con. currence cif his Neble Friend the Member for Tiverton, Lord Sydenham informed him in his answer, that he cou'd nor obtain from Mr. Webster any terms other than terms by whi that part of the Madawaska settlement ou the right bank of the river St. John should be occupied by the two Powers. It wa• clear that Lord Ashburton supposed he (Lord J. Russell) al luded to negotiations for a permanentsettlement of the boundary , whereas— an d he thought it was sufficiently clear from what he had said—he only alluded to a provisional arrangement to be made between the two Governments. If it was the intention of the Government to carry on any diplomatic negotiations, they would, of course, be carried on by his Noble Friend, and not himself, as the Noble Lord might have known. All he wished to know was, if the Hon. Gentleman the Under. Secretary for the Colonies, had received a copy of any instructions which he (Lord John Russell) gave to Lord Sydenham, and his answer to him. He spoke at the moment from memory, and did not anticipate a discussion on what he then stated ; but the Noble I.ord had totally mistaken the whole transaction, for that Lord Syden ham could have made such observations seemed to him ( Lord J. Russell) impossible. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman to produce the documents he had in reference to this subject. Mr. HOPE said he was not aware that the Noble Lord in tended to put this question. He would, however, make every search for the papers to which the Noble Lord referred. Lord JOHN RUSSELL inquired if a correspondence had taken place in respect to a provisional arrangement between the Colonial-office and Lord Sydenham ? Mr. HOPE said there had been a correspondence with respect to the disputed territory. Mr. HUME said that all dispatches connected with this dispute ought to he laid on the table of the House. S:r ROBERT PEEL said, if the documents could be pre sented without any injury to the public service, he had no ~b-objection objection to their production ; but this matter having been settled between this country and the United States, he did not see why they s hould be produced. He did riot think any public object would be answered by their product ion, but if the Noble Lord wished for any particular papere which could be produced without detriment he should have there. BRAZILS. Mr. MILNER GIBSON wished to ask a question of the Right Hon. Baronet on the subject of the present state of our relations with the Brazils. It was well-known that we had had a commercial treaty with that country which had expired in the month of November last. Under the the provisions of the treaty British subjects residing in the GRANT M,nr ot Brazils weie entitled to certain privileges, which were not pos sessed by the Brazilians, in reference to the disposal of their Mr. Parnell,property by will, the English Consul taking care that in the T er O t 0 A M Y r .

Bill introduced by the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of T THE ASHBURTON TREATY. State for the Home Department. He withed to put the House w. •cord the Right Honourabl e B aronet h a d g i vc.n t o hi s HonourAble Friend the Memb er f o r Montrose on the sub actuated. to nis wont. The other parts were all filled respectably, and great credit is due to the management for the manner in which they have placed Much Ado about Aothing on the stage. Allen took the little part of Bal thazar, and sung the beautiful ballad, " Sigh no More," with exquisite taste and propriety, and was deservedly honoured with an encore. Wallack and Miss Cushman were honoured with the usual ovation at the fall of the curtain, The house was very well attended. ject of the extracts from the dispatches which had bee read by Lord Asburton in another place was altogether satisfactory. He did not know exactly the extracts to which his Hon. Friend had alluded, but, from what he had heard, he understood that Lord Ashburton had read elsewhere seme extracts from certain dispatches for the pur pose of showing that some statement that had been made by a member of that House (the Howe of Commons) was erroneous. Now he would assume that to be the fact— (" Hear, hear," from Mr. liume)—and he would ask where did Lord Ashburton get these dispatches?—( Cheers.) He must have procured them either as a negotiator, in which case they would be his own dispatches, either written by him ur sent to him, or they were dispatches which had been ob tained from the Foreign-office , or they were dispatches which had been laid before Parliament. Ii they were dispatches which had been laid before Parliament, he had nothing more to say. The Noble Lord had a perfect right to use them. If the dispatches were his own—were dis patches which had come into his power as a negotiator, having been either written by him or to him—if these dispatches had been furnished to him by the Government, then he would say that, in the first case, he had no right to send his own dis patches without having obtained permission of the Government, and if he had obtained that permission, or if they had been furnished to him by the Foreign-office, then it was the inva riable practice of Parliament to lay those dispatches on the ta cle, in order that Parliament might know what they contained, instead of b:ing only made acquainted merely with extracts read in Parliament. The Right Hon. Baronet would see that it was not sufficient to say that the dispatches merely 'elated to a question which had been settled. The question was not in reality as to anything that had passed in the negotiations between the United States and this country, but it was to see if cer tain statements made in that House by persons formerly hold ing official situations, were or were not erroneous, and whether or not these statements bad been made fur the purposes of deceiving. He wished to ask another question. On the 16th July, he moved for a return of the number of negroes landed in each year, 1815 downwards, on the coast of America. That return the Right Hon. Baronet acceded to with the greatest rea diness, and he (Lord Palmerston) could only wish that the same readiness had been shown in furnishing. The Right Hon. Baronet had told him that he had presented it, but this was not his (Lord Palmerston's) petition, but some other. He trusted the Right lion. Baronet would make inquiries into the subject, and see that the returns were presented. ir It. REEL could not understand what dispatches the Hon. Member for Montrose had alluded to. Of course, if it were necessary, any dispatches which had been produced in the other House of Parliament might be produced to the House of Commons, (so we understood the Right Hon. Baronet, but the low tone of voxe in which he spoke, and the m iFe which prevailed in the House, we could scarcely hear him.) HUNIE said he had alluded to despatches which had been referred to by a Noble Lord in another place, which had not been laid before this House. Sir R. PEEL, wish respect to the return alluded to by he Noble Lord, could only say that it was very difficult to get up such returns, but he would use every exertion to have this one. made. TARING THE VEIL.—On Monday a young lady was invested with the holy habit and religious veil of a Sister of Mercy, at the Convent of Mercy, Bermondsey. The ceremony took place in the church of the Most Holy Trinity, which adjoins the convent. The sacred edifice was crowded with spectators of the highest class of society, who appeared to take the deepest interest in the imposing pre ceedings. Miss Zimmer, the postulant, having communi cated in the morning, first appeared in her secular dress at the ceremony. At the appointed hour (noon) all the reli gious assembled, put on their church cloaks, and lighted their candles. The following divines officiated :—the Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Revs G. Foley, North, Butler, Coiling ridge, Bowman, Cotter, Horrabin, Ringrove, Baunber, and O'Neale. The postulant took her place between the Su perioress of the convent and an assistant, and on her knees asked the blessing of the former and her own religions name. At a given signal the choir sang the hymn Gloriosa Virginum. The hymn finished, the celebrant Bishop repsated, " Ora pro efy sancta Dei Genetrix." He then blessed a wax candle, and placed it on the altar, and having put incense into the thuribles and blessed it, he sprinkled the candle with holy water, incensed it, and presented it lighted to the postulant, saying—" Accipe, filia charissima, lumen corporale, in signum luminis interioris, ad repellendas omnes tenebras ignorantite, vel erroris." The Bishop next preached a sermon suitable to the occasion from these words :—" Be hold, we have left all things, and have followed Thee." The sermon ended, the Superioress and her assistant con ducted the postulant to the grate of the altar, when, kneel ing, she was interrogated as follows': —Celebrant—" My child, what do you demand?" Postulant—" The mercy of God and the holy habit of religion." Celebrant—" Is it of your own free will that you demand the holy habit of religion ?" Postulant—" Yes, my Lord." After some fur ther questions and answers and prayers, the parties arose, made a genuflection, and retired, when the postulant put off her secular dre'ss, and the religious habits having been blessed by the bishop, she was clad in them, as well as in the blessed veil. She then became a novice, and at the conclusion of the initiatory rites the Bishop sprinkled her with holy water ; the assistant directing her to rise, made with her a genuflection to the Holy Sacrament, and con ducted her to the Superioress, to whom she kneeled. The latter raising her embraced her. The novice then embraced the other religious, to whom she bowed before and after the embrace. The choir then sang the psalm, " Ecce quam bonunt, et quam jucundam habitare fratres iii unum." The psalm ended, the religious retired in the same order in which they entered. SHROPSHIRE IRON TRADE.--113 consequence of the large advance in the price of iron which has recently taken place, the Lilleshall Company have resolved on advancing the wages of the numerous hands in their employ :—The men to the amount of 6d., per day, and the women and boys in pro portion. The whole of the pits and furnaces belonging to the company are in full operation, and the advance will take place ~ mmediately. Worcestershire Chronicle. BUENOS AYRES. Mr. EWART rose. and was FLEFT SPEAKING.] GRANT to iviAYNOOTH COLLEGE FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—There is something quite ludicrous in the State con. centrating all its sympathies and all its expenditure on the college instead of the parish, in making priests instead of maintaining them. Paying clergy when we find them, that is, because there they are, and the people will have them, seems a far less departure from principle than actually producing them, and sending them into the country. l‘laynooth is, in fact, a missionary college. Sir Robert Peel is a second St. Patrick, sending fresh and more accom. plished emissaries to fight their own way in a barbarous country. We feed the Protestant clergy, but teach and train the Catholic student ; and then send the latter to usurp the former's nominal kingdom. Of course the grant is fated. Even if it had been contingent on the result of a debate, there was nothing last night to damage its prospects. The two University Members, Sir Robert Inglis and Mr. Law, resisted it ex qfficio, and the former con amore, but with ar. guments which have ceased to persuade the British Legislature. Messrs. Gregory and Plumptre also protested in the name of their several parties, the latter without any compromise of tone; and, strange to say, Mr. T. Duncombe took the same line. Lord Sandon, however, not having the fear of M`Neill before his eyes, gave in his adhesion to the measure. Lord John Russell supplied to Sir Robert that cordiality which he so painfully is in want of from his own benches, and Mr. Ward and Mr. Sheil also brought their quota of support. The Member for Sheffield goes farther than the present Government measure, and also feels an objection, in which we beg to express our entire sympathy, against giving good English money to this doubtful purpose. Ireland ought at least to maintain its own schools and clergy. HERALD.—Our readers have now before them the provisions of the Bill for the increase of the Maynooth fund. We can hardly expect any who object to the measure upon principle will be recoil. cited to it by a consideration of its details ; but we are of opinion that few reasonable men will dispute the justice of Sir Robert Peel's description of the three-fold alternative presented to the country and to the Legis'ature, viz.—First, to break off all con. flexion with the Maynooth establishment, and, after providing for existing interests, discontinue the annual grant. Or, secondly, to go on as we have been going on for fifty years. Or, thirdly, to adopt the measure now proposed. Sir Robert Peel described, without exaggeration, the penury and sordidness of the establish ment in which the religious teachers and political leaders of the Irish Roman Catholics are prepared. Coining from such a place could they be different from what they are? This is the question to be answered by the opponents of the Minis terial Bill. But though such penury and sordidness of education may, and perhaps do, justify rudeness and disaffection in the indi. viduals who have suffered by them, they are no justification of those who ought to have obviated them—the preceding race of Ro. man Catholic clergymen and the Romanist agitators. They have drawn (priests and agitators between them) from two millions and a half to three millions annually from the people for many succes stve years; they have built gorgeous cathedrals, and given every other proof of great wealth ; but to the college in which their clergy are educated they have not contributed a single penny, though a small per centage on their receipts would endow a college as nen as till Ole colleges in cithcs c,Ailinitoge taxcn together—far richer than the Irish University. They give to Mr. O'Connell fifty-six thousand pounds a.yearl and they leave their first theoiogical professor to subsist upon the public grant of 1201. per annum? Such an anomaly, so long continued, :cannot be accidental. It is part of the system by which Romanism and democracy—democracy of the lowest, rudest, and most violent character—have been long allied in Ireland, to combat the religion of England and the British connexion. To force a good education urn the Irish priesthood, to let the intelligent Roman Catholic lar y see that we wish their clergy well educated, and that we arc ready to furnish the means, is to cut at the root of this alliance ; and such is the necessary tendency of the Ministerial Bill, the third and only safe branch of the alternative at our command. ADVERTISER. —Great as is the es it of endowing Catholicism in Ireland, the circumstaace is accompanied with no inconsiderable good. It has opened the eyes of thousands of English Episcopalians and Scottish Presbyterians to the evils of religious establishments, and consequently made them converts to the views we have always advocated. The former friends of establishments are compered to relinquish the ground which tons have hitherto taken. They find they can no longer, wit h any yistency or justice, plead for the State endowment of one religion, and object to the some favour being conferred en another. Either, as just remarked, all religions ought to be endowed, or there ought to be no State religions at all. To the latter conclusion they are at last driven. Within the last few weeks a greater number oftroselytes have been made to the anti State-Church principle, than were made for as many years before. if it shall turn out, as we hope It will, that the effect of the endowment of Catholicism in Ireland, will be to create so powerful and universal a feeling against r e li g ious csta. Wishments, as shall le ad to their abolition altogether, the event which we now so deeply deplore, will prove to have been one of the happiest that could have occurred. Things cannot remain as they will he after the pa ssin g of this Bill. It is not to be expected they will not be content that the Roman Catholics of Ireland will be content with the pit. to their own degradation. population of 500,000 Pro. lance, inadequate to their rights, if the principle of endowment be e t e h sa e extent of one million and a once admitted —given to them like a bone to a discontented dog. of upwards . of seven millions of e with a grant of some 26,000/.

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 3. THE ASHBURTON TREATY. Lord ASHBURTON (in continuation from our Third Edition of last night) said—He had a most sincere and unfeigned respect for Lord John Russell, and from a long and intimate knowledge of the matter, he was perfectly assured that his Noble Friend would not make any statement which he knew to be unfounded. Yet that statement of fact was so—whether it was that the Noble Lord in going out of office dreamed of these facts—(A laugh)—or took the statement upon some light authority—(A laugh)—there was no founda tion for it. The negotiations between Mr. Fox and Mr. Webster arose out of the disturbances which took place between the irregular troops of the State of Maine and our fencibles in New Brunswick. It had been settled that there should be a treaty on the boundary in that direction, and Mr. Wtbster and Mr. Fox agreed only to fix upon a boundary, in the mean time, to put an end to those disturbances, until the treaty should be settled. But there could be no treaty on the boundary in the Madawaska statement, without the consent of the States of Maine and Massachusets ; and when he (Lord Ash burton) was in the republic, he had to wait for the arrival of the Deputies from those States. He had felt himself called upon to make this explanation, which he did without any intention to cast imputations upon others. The Companies' Clauses Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, the fol lowing Bills . were read a first time :—The Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill, the Companies' Clauses , Consolidation Bill, and the Lands Clauses Consolida tion Bill. HER mAJESTV'S ROYAL RIVER YACHT FAIRY. This beautiful little vessel, built of iron in the strongest manner, by Ditchhurn and Mare, 145 feet in length and 21 feet breadth of beam, and 250 tons burthen, fitted with oscillating engines, by John Penn and Son, was tried down the river yesterday for the fourth time. The Fairy left Deptford about nine o'clock A.M., under the charge of Commander Smith of the Woolwich Dockyard, with an officer and crew of the Black Eagle, amd the Royal Marines of the William and Mary yacht. Mr. John Penn, engineer, and his assistants, went on board at Deptford, and Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, embarked at that port to ascertain the speed of the vessel and the working of the machinery. This handsome vessel, which distanced all the other steamers on the progress down the river, is propelled with an astonishing degree of speed de cidedly far exceeding the greatest ever previously obtained by the screw propeller, with which she had been fitted on Mr. F. P. Smith's plan. The great speed of this vessel has been obtained by a very ingenious , adaptation of the double slides to Mr. John Penn and Son's engines, which renders them more eligible than any other description of engines for screw propellers. When op. posite the measured nautical mile in Long Reach, the speed of the royal river yacht Fairy was calculated by Mr. Lloyd, and found to be, after ten trials, above thirteen knots on the average reckoning, and against wind and with the tide, upwards of fifteen statute miles per hour. Th e vesse l r ides in the water r e m ar k abl y eas y , notwithstanding her great velocity, and is 5.3 stiff and upright in a breeze, or when th e w h o l e h ave moved to one side , as to show scarcely any perceptibl e d.ff e r en ce in her perp endicular p osition. The engines, bY Messrs. John Penn and So n, are two of 64-horse Power, each making 48 s t r ok es per minute, and c ausin g , b y the aid of the cog.wh ee l attached to them, 240 revolutions of the screw Propeller in the sam e p er i o d o f t ime. The engines a re ver y corn pact, and, owing t o th e i r osc i llat i ng m ovements, only occupy a very small space in the vessel, 14 feet by 4 feet ten inches, and the connecting axle of the screw is entirely under the cabin floor, near the keel of the vessel. Tne beauty of the workmanship, and perfect adaptation of every part of the engines to each other, was clearly shown during the trial, as not the slightest degree of heat ing took place, but every part worked with the greatest smoothness. It is expec ed the vessel will be completed in a few weeks, and ex. coed in speed the fastest paddle-wheel steamer in any service. When opposite Charlton.pier en her return, the Fairy allowed No. 11 Waterman, fast boat, to get ahead, and, putting on her speed, distanced that vessel before she got to Blackwall. The draught of the Fairy is 4 feet 4 inches forward, and 5 feet 4 inches aft, and the height of the principal cabin, ti feet 2 inches, and altogether very commodious and suitable for the purpose for which she has been built. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Miss Cushman has added another laurel to her wreath by her perfor mance o f t h e c h arac ter of Beatrice last evening. Nev er has the lively, witty, warm-hearted Beatrice been more delightfully represented than it was by Mi:s Cu s h man l ast evening. We have seen many ut,Ftes perform Beatrice well in some parts excellently • well—but as a whole we have never seen a Beatrice to equal Miss Cushman. Where others have merely in dicated Shakspere's meaning she has elaborated it— where oth!rs gave a clever sketch she presents us with a finished picture. Every gibe and jest, and sarcasm told, and in the last seen - es 'where the warm-hearted woman breaks out against the foul slanderer of the fair fame of Her ; she was mairnificent. Wallack's Bole diet was admirable. 11, fe'lt that he had a Beatrice worthy of him, and he acted accordingly. His Benedict is far and away the best on the stage, and reminded us not unfrequentls', nor, b e it a dd e d, unpleasantly, of the Benedict of Elliston, w h ose man tle has not un worthily fallen on the shoulders of James Wallack. Compton's • Dogberry was a genuine bit of true Shaksperian, and the Verges of Oxberry, although inferior to that of Keeley, was very good. Mrs. Brougham made a very interesting hero, while Mr.. Archer roared. through the past Leonatc, according RAILWAYS. The NOBLE EARL at the same time laid upon the Sable of the House, by command of her Majesty, maps relating to the proposed railway communications with the northern districts of Ireland and Scotland, the re • ports of the Board of Trade up , •n the scheme for supply ing Leeds and the West Riding of Yorkshire with rail way communications, upon the Portsmouth and South Wales schemes, and upon the London and York and South Wales projects. The Duke of RICHMOND trusted that as the Court of Quarter Sessions would be held next week the Rails ay Clauses Consolidation Bill would not be pressed through the House till the following week. There were other parties interested in this hill besides those connected :vial railways, and he hoped there would be no objection to the course proposed. The Earl of I)ALHOUSIE had no desire to press these Bills more rapidly than was consistent to admit of proper attention being paid to them ; but, at the same time, it must be remembered that., to a certain extent, the postponement of this Bill was checking the progress of the numerous measures likely to come before Parlia ment, connected with railway legislation. BASTARDY BILL. Lord STANLEY said—the fact of the quarter sessions coming on next week induced him to hope that their Lordships would now sanction the second reading of another measure. It was a Bill for amending the existing law of bastardy, for which no day had yet been fixed for the second reading. The Bill would not, to any extent, alter the spirit of the present law, but it was introduced into Parliament for the pur pose of removing certain technical difficulties which im pedi d thet operation of the Act.of last year. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the Duke of RICHMOND the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. THE OREGON TERRITORY. Lord CLARENI)ON gave notice that he would to morrow call attention to the question of the Oregon ter ritory.—Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. April 3. GRANT TO MAYNOOTH. Sir R. PEEL (in continuation) said—l need make no apology, if I read the statements contained in it to the House. It begins—" Your Excellency, we beg leave humbly to state, that the College of Maynooth has hng been struggling under great disadvantages for many years, in consequence of the very inadequate accommo dation provided, and we beg to state that for the purpose of carrying out the objects intended by the Government., we instituted an inquiry with the view of laying the state of its affairs before your Excellency. We exa mined first into the internal adminis'.ration of the Col lege, and we find that not only are the salaries of the professors lower than the usual allowances, but that this reduction is so great as to interfere with their comforts to a degree unbecoming a public institution for the education of the youth of Ireland. Thus they inflicted a great inconvenience in the removal of that wholesome restraint which is so necessary to be kept up during the short period of the student's proba tion, in order to render him a practically useful member of society in that sphere in which it was destined he should be placed. Notwithstanding every endeavour, a debt of 4,6001. has been incurred. So insufficient was the sum granted for the purposes of the College, that during the term, the authorities were com pelled to give an additional vacation of two months for the purpose of saving some of the expenses. We beg further to state, that the increased expenses of the College has had the effect of closing its doors against that class of society in which candi dates from the Roman Catholic priesthood had been most frequently found. Those who support the scholars at Maynooth now find the expenses of doing so so heavy, that numbers of the latter are obliged to with draw before the term of their probation is completed. Their departure has in consequence caused a diminution of the profits arising to the Col lege from the number of students there. To such embarrassments are they reduced, being fre queatly obliged to withdraw the students before they have completed their ordinary ecclesiastical course of study." I may state, in addition to chat, that there are many cases in which, from the inability of the provisions to defray the expanses of the College, the sum of 231.. the al!oveance for one student, is obliged to be divided between two. Now, Sir, I have stated fully the state of the College of Maynooth, and I ask whether I am not right in saying that you can take no course that is not preferable to the one now pursued ? It contained a violation, if it be a violation, of a principle in under taking to instruct the priesthood of Ireland, from whose doctrines you dissent, and to make an inadequate pro vision for the education of those for whose instruction you make yourself responsible. Is it wise ? Would it be prudent ? Shall we say to the Roman Catholic subjects we are bound by an inconvenient obligation contracted by ourselves, and that obligation we will respect in a surly spirit. We will continue to give you what you now have—there shall be no im provement—there shall be no increase to the grant. We shall allow the amount to remain so much as the statute permits—we will, in a surly spirit, give you 9,000/. a year—and we tell you that we do it, though our con science is violated; because it is our intention to adhere to the statute. When we come to the consideration of another matter, shall we allow that our conscientious scruples are violated ? and shall we resolve to discon tinue all connexion with the College of Maynooth ? and shall the burthen of educating the priesthood be thrown on the people themselves ? There are some, I know, who consider that a desirable object.—(bear, hear.) Are we, therefore, to adopt that course, and at the same time must we tell the Roman Catholics that, on religious grounds, we absolve ourselves from all further connexion with the education of the priesthood 7 Before you adopt that course, you should weigh and fully deliberate upon the circumstances which attend that establishment. I do not hesitate to say that, apart from the obligation of payment, apart from the consideration of the mortified and irritated fi , eling which might arise from such an avowal on your part, namely, that you have conscientious scruples against the contincance of that vote, I do not hesitate to say that I believe the absolute discontinuance of the vote would be better for all parties than a con tinuance of such a state of things as that which I have described. But I think I can assign a reason why, if you - Nil% as legizlatols, take into your account public OF POUR-HATES. Lord ER OUG HAM had two petitions to present respecting most unjust and cruel imprisonment two paupers, not for the mere non-payment o poor-rates, but for the non-payment of charges in• the Magistrates' office. Thomas Lukin and Ann Ward were sentenced by the " insane Magistrates of Leicester for non payment of poor-rates—the one pauper in the amount of 4s. 4d., and the other in the amount of 3s. iid. Some humane person paid the amount of rate due by Ann Ward, but those " insane Magistrates" committed her for the costs, in the amount of 205., which was four times the amount of her debt. When, being evidently unable to pay these smaller sums, they were plainly unable to pay the larger sum of 20s. They had stated their utter inability tit pay the ss. and the 35., and when having thus shown their inability they wore, against all law and reason, sent to prison tor a month with hard labour, a punishment which could be inflicted on no man in this country without a man had committed some crime of so infamous a character as to take it out of the common class of misdemeanours. This was the first time that ever he had heard that debt was to be treated by the laws of England as a crime. Ile was aware that there was an Act, the Act of the 18th George 111. c. 10, by which a power was given to magistrates to commit anvone to prison for one month for the nos payment of the costs which had been awarded to an it jured party. But in this case all such power had been exceeded; and when these men declared their poverty—when they had stat,d their inabiiit3 to pay the ss. 4d in the first iustance, they had, in the exercise of their power committed them to prison. Those magistrates might have acted discretely, they might have acted legally, nay, he would even go to fir as to allow that, deep ys the sarcasm might appear, they might even have as ted humanely. Of their conduct in the mere committal he would not complain, but there was one thing of which he did complain, one thing which he would confide not to their Lordships, but to his noble Friend on the Woolsack, and that was the committal without a hearing. He understood that those Magistrates were highly reaps ctable it dividuals, but he would tell them—he would tell any man— he would tall every man, that no respectability, however great could place any man, be he lawman or I e be layman, as to lif him above the law. He must do his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of the Home Department the justice to say, that as soon as the matter was men tioned to him, he immediately relieved these men from their imprisonment. But he thought that something more than this was required, and he would leave it tohis Noble Friend on the woolsack to say whether such men as those were fit to be left in the administration of justice in this country. Lard LYNDHURST said that if, after inquiry, he found the conduct of these magistrates was such as it had been repre sinted, that he should feel it his duty to remove them from the Commission of the Peace. The Duke of RICHMOND said that inquiry ought also to be made o see if there was not some remedy for the injustice they had suffered, and if not, the sooner the law was altered the better. Lord LYNDHURST said that, in a case of injustice by a magistrate, the injured party was entitled to remedy by an action. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
