The collision between the Medea and the Griffon was the subject of an explanation in the House of Lords last night, by the Earl of MINTa. What the Noble Earl stated does not much alter the case. If there was any aggression, he said, it must have arisen from the English ship running across the French vessel, which, it appears, took her for a Mexican cruizer. Petitions for the Extension of the Church in Scot land, and for the Uniform Penny Postage were pre sented in considerable numbers. The case of Colonel PRINCE occupied their Lordships for some time. Lord BROUGHAM having moved for several papers connected with the Colonel's conduct, Lord ELLENBOROUGH entered into an explanation and vindication of the Colonel's conduct, which he justified by the state of the country and the warfare that was car ried on. He showed that the Colonel's conduct had been approved by a Court of Inquiry, and that he had been honoured by a public feast at Toronto. Lord BROUGHA M again denounced the barbarous con duct of the Colonel. The Marquis of NORMANBY objected to the production of the papers. The Duke of WELLINGTON denounced the sort of warfare which had been carried on in Canada, and called on the Government to put an end to it. His Grace only approves of slaughter when it takes place in the regular way, ac coi ding to the rules of a soldier's art ; by which to burn a house and shoot its inmates is murder—to set a town on fire and slay thousands of its defenders is honour able. war. How practice,prejudiee, class ideas,influence the judgment! The papers were, of course, not produced, and Col. PRINCE'S character remains just as it was, honoured by men living on the frontier, and exposed to danger, but condemned by the inhabitants of towns, safe from every attack. The Lords sat till Eight o'Clock. In the Commons a great number of petitions were presented on the Ministerial plan for Education, most of them against it ; and in favour of the Uniform Penny Postage. Lord ASHLEY gave notice that he should move a call of the House for Friday, the day Lord JOHN RUSSELL is , to bring on the education plan, when the Noble Lord said he would second the motion. The two parties are therefore to have a severe contest on that subject, and it looks ominous for the Ministers that several of their own friends presented petitions against it last night. We learn from the Watchman, that the Metho dist parsons at Manchester, Salford, and probably oth e r places, have been preaching against it, and the Metho dists being united with the Churchmen, it can hardly he expected that the Ministers should succeed. In order to hasten business, it was agreed that orders of the day should hare precedence of motions on Thurs days. In answer to a question put by Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord JOUN RUSSELL announced that the monopoly :'or printing Bibles in Scotland is not to be renewed. Mr. LABOUCHEP.E moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the ena c t men t o f certa i n l aws i n Jamaica. He said, it was founded on a very different principle from that of the former Bill, and left the House of Assembly a locus penitoz(ice, as recommended by Sir ROBERT PEEL. We shall not enter into its merits. Some few observations were made relative to the di vision on the last vote, which indicates that this is still a very sore subject. Leave was given to bring in the A little temper, too, was exhibited on a motion of Mr. CRESSWELL, for a return or the amount of duties paid on the export of woollen goods to America, which ap pears to have been erroneously levied, when Mr. TIJORNELY called the conduct of the Government in resisting the repayment, trumpery. Mr. GlBSONobtained leave to bring in a Bill to pre serve the votes of such electors as may move after a registration. Mr. T. Arrwooo brought forward a resolution, touching the standard, which, as it was characterised as p a ying a debt with less value than was received, was ne,”tived without a division. 'file Custody of Infants' Bill was read a second time. The Hou se sat till Half-nast Eleven o'Clock. The gatheringo relat es , P eers , G ent l emen, and Ladies friendly to the Anglican Church at Roo 011 Tuesday, was most 1111111C but it i mposes not roux and sp!enditi, daunts us not. The time is gone by for such in terested and selfish persons to have a commanding influence over public opinion. If the Church and its allies could have stopped the tide which has happily set against them, they would have been successful when they were stronger, and the stream run slow and weak, in 1828,and the repeal of the Test Act with all the subsequent consequences could never have been granted. Everybody is aware that the Priesthood are using the name of religion to preserve a vast system of Clerical extor tion and abuse, and no person of the. t discern ment gives them credit for sincerity. Their present display is only a dying struggle. The Church has no foundation in the natural order of society or in the permanent in terests of mankind. It may flourish as long as the ignorance it panders to remains ; but as knowledge advances, which happily the Priesthood cannot prevent while the Press exists, and men are not, as a punishment for worshipping them, de prived of their senses, the dominant Priesthood must, in spite of such things as Bishops and Earls, pass, like their still more arrogant, though not more mischievous predecessors, into nothingness. The monster is, in fact, fatally wounded, and the convulsions with which it now shakes society are its death throes. WC are the more convinced of this from the fact, that this assembly was wholly composed of Tories and Priests, of those who insist on subduing man kind to their will by the sword, and of those who impiously call on mankind to submit to the tyranny of their Tory allies as an ordinance of GOD. The politicians of the Tory school teach " a right divine to govern wrong," which they uphold by force, and their priestly allies inculcate submission to it as a duty. Poverty and misery are to be borne with contentment, ac cording to them, while they are always to be main tained in splendid opulence and luxurious leisure by the labour of others, as suitable and appropriate to the station in life " in which it has pleased GOD to call " the industrious classes. For their spout ing at Willis's Rooms to have any beneficial effect for themselves, it should have been echoed and cheered, not by their brothers and sisters in wrong doing, but by those who suffer wrong. The recipients of their pretended bounties should have been brought forward to justify their assertions. The men and women whose youth they have conducted to virtuous and contented maturity, during the twenty eight years the National Society has flourished—some of the vast congregations taught by the receivers of six millions a-year, for the purpose of teaching the people their moral duties, should have been sum moned to testify to the benefits conferred on them by our opulent Priesthood and their Tory allies. The whole assembly were interested witnesses, flattering each other into false confidence by falla cious testimony. They could not even appeal to any public facts as proofs of their usefulness. Respect for moral duties, together with a knowledge of the social relations of man to man—not as they might have existed, amongst the shepherds of Palestine, but as they exist i❑ modern society, growing out of the great, the natural, and ever-extending sys tem of division of labour—are rather to be taught by the Priesthood, than enforced by the Govern ment ; and in what condition are the flocks, the congregations, the pupils of the Priest hood now ? The National Society boasts of teach ing in schools connected with it, or under its au spices, in 1837, 1,003,087 scholars. Now, that number is the full half of all the children in England and Wales requiring education between the ages of five and twelve. For twenty-eight years the Society has been in operation, and allowing for the pro gress of its efforts, nearly one-half of the existing generation must have been drilled by its care. The present and all preceding generations ought to have been fashioned by the Clergy, bad they pro perly used the ample means in their hands. What, then, is the condition of the people now, what their knowledge of social relations, what their mutual respect for mutual rights, which the Priest hood are bound to teach ? To answer the last question first, the Constabu lary Commissioners inform us that 100,000 corn_ mitments to gaol take place in a year, and that ex presses a small part only of the crimes committed, many of which are discovered and not prosecuted, and many more of which are undiscovered. To an swer the second, let the Bishops consult Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Chartists ; who, according to the Noble Lord, being utterly ignorant of the natural laws which regulate rent, wages, profits, Ministers' salaries and Bishops' incomes, are engaged in an impossible scheme to procure more wages for less work, by a change of the persons who make the laws. To answer the third, we shall quote a high Tory authority, deeply in love with the Church and the Constitution, whose lucu brations filled three columns nearly o f th e Ti mes I yesterday. Mr. OASTLER thus describes the present condition of the pupils of the Church ; and with a quotation from his letter, as a testi mony to the value of the moral teaching of the Priesthood, we shall at present leave the subject, remarking merely that till the Church can subvert the testimony of facts, it will be unable by any assemblies, however numerous, by any speeches, however rabid, by any contrivance, however cun ning, to avert the fate, which is plainly written, and to which all things mistreated and monstrous like it, are destined The whole social system is on the brink of ruin, and Ireland is worse than in a 'state of rebellion. I would seriously ask you—is this the time to widen the breach between yourselves and the hardy sons of toil ? I tell you the truth when I assert that labour and industry are doomed, in your presence, to poverty and want, to hunger and nakedness ; such a state of things is unjust; it is incompatible with the principles of our glorious con stitution ; it is in direct contradiction to our holy religion ; nay, it is utterly inimical with your own interest and safety. The question is already decided—the working men have resolved no longer to be robbed and cheated out of' their fiod and raiment and homes; they are an industrious, mo ral, and loyal race ; they arc cool, deliberating, and thinking men. They are horrified with the sight of leanness, of hunger, and despair, which their wives and children almost uni- versally a present to them ; the craving calls of their little ones for " bread, bread," have pierced their very souls ! They remember that they are men I that they are Britons I Your agricultural labourers arc wearied of dragging their aching limbs and hearts to a home of despair. The artisans can bear no longer to sit in silence at home, waiting for the return of their wives and children from their labour. They know that this is a state as hateful to God as degrading to man, and at all hazards they have sworn " it shall not long continue." If they have a national fault, it is that they arc too patient. They are not, however, any longer to be trifled with • they know that their de m a n d i s j ust, and they know also how to obtain it. These charges may appear extravagant; you may thi n k my language violent; the working men know, however, that every word is true, and they have resolved not much longer to groan under the tyranny of their cowardly tor mentors. " But," say you, "we have just cause to be alarmed when we know that the working people are arming." In deed ! Why ? flow ? You are then conscious that you have wronged them ? You know that you have deceived them ? You are aware that you have robbed them ? Ah:l then, well may you fear their anger. But no, they are not revengeful. Cease any longer to oppreis them, and your fears will vanish with their cause. For a moment look at the amount of your own rents, livings, produce, and pro fits; then at the wages (?) of the manufacturing artisans and of the agricultural labourers, and answer does justice hold the beam ? I need say no more. There is not a man amongst you who does not know th a t th e wor ki ng c l a sses are robed, regularly robbed, on an average of nearly one half of their just and equitable due. This wrong must be redressed, or your fears will increase. These are the emphatic words in which Mr. OASTLEIt tells the Clergy and Nobility that the people are prepared to make a Moscow of all our cities : Remember, before it be too late, that the close of the long war, the finish at Moscow, proved that a determined people could not be overcome, and that there is sometimes a crisis, even in war, when military shill and military prowess must yield to the last effort of despair. You may, if you are so d etermined, force the labourers and ar tisans of England to war for their cottages, as the Mus covites warred for their capital. You cannot subdue the people. Jus:ice will pacify them. It is yours to grant, they arc I,vaiting to receive; but if they are now denied justice, if you refuse—but you will not refuse what God and the Constitution grant. We regret to say that the Liberals were yesterday defeated in their motion in the Common Hall, for an address to the QUEEN. We shall not seek to deny that Toryism is making some progress in the Corporation of the City of London. Com posed as that is of some of the most renowned jobbers of the empire, who dread Corporation Reform at the hands of the Ministers, and who have recently been terrified by the prospect of a Police Bill, we are surprised that the Corporation should so long have given its support to the Libe ral party. Everybody knows that the Ministers have grievously offended the Corporation by hint ing at the possibility that the City might be better governed than at present, and the jobbers have taken the earliest opportunity of revenging them selves, by giving a vote which they thought would spite the Whigs. They have succeeded ; but we doubt whether they have thereby added to the vitality of the Corporation. At the great meeting of the Clergy and their friends, held at WILLIS'S Rooms, on Tuesday, it was stated that there is a great want of " well qualified schoolmasters," and the National Society therefore proposes now, in the year 1839, to " found , without d e l a y, an I nst i tut i on un d er t h e di rection o f a Clergyman, a graduate of one the Universities, for the purpose of receiving into training a number of young persons, who wish to be come teachers ; and also a limited number of adults who, having been properly educated else where, desire only as heretofore, to obtain opportunity for practice in the art of teaching." The National Society, by proposing now to do this, gives a solemn sanction to the utility of such an es tablishment. Now, one part of our case against the opulent Clergy of England, always living in peace and fully protected, is that such schools as this, which they propose at present to establish, have been in full operation in Germany for many years. Our Priesthood intend to establish one of them here at present, because other parties have talked of a model school, and a normal school ; and the Clergy and their friends hasten now, as they did in 1811, to do something like good, in order to take away the credit from others. At that time, to cut in on the British and Foreign School Society established in 1808, they got up their Na tional Society for Education in the tenets of the Established Church, never having budged one foot or moved a hand in the good cause of general edu cation before ; and now, because the Committee of Privy Council proposes to establish a normal school, and because that has been of late recom mended by Mr. WYSE and others, they are anxious t o forestall them. Why did they not do something of the kind before, when such a model has been in existence in Germany for many years ? An in stitution called the Seminary, for forming and teaching schoolmasters, was established as early as 17M, very nearly a century ago, in Ha nover. The founder was a humble man of the name of BOTTCHER, who endowed it with his whole property, but he was assisted by Dr. GOET TEN, the first Court Chaplain and Consistorial Counsellor, who was the principal man to organize the school. Some of the most distinguished mem bers of the Hanoverian Church have been teachers or members of this school, and contributed to pro mote its improvement. " It consists," says the writer of Travels in the North of Germany,' a book published in 1820, "of two distinct parts, a school for children, and a school for schoolmasters. In the first, 500 boys and girls of different ages, divided into classes, are taught reading and writing, grammar, arithmetic, church music, knitting, sewing, etc. etc. The persons who are instructed so as to qualify them to teach others, are divided into two classes. The first is composed of young men who wish to becoine teachers, the second of the best of these young men selected after some months' examination and study, awl destined to be the future schoolmasters of Hanover." In the spring of 1813, thirty-three of the former received in struction."-4' The second or superior class amounting to thirty, selected as ssesisionsdi, devolt- eaebssaistly in the house and have lodging, food, and bed linen, found them, and when any of them are employed, as the oldest and best amongst them are, in instructing the children of the semi nary, of whom, in fact, they are the only teachers, they re ceive a small gratuity of Is. Bd. per week. "---" Both these classes of young men are taught those things which they are afterwards to teach to others, and they are taught, and severely, and much practised in, the best known methods of teaching."—" Each in turn plays the master part with the others."—Since the establishment of the seminary it has educated or improved the education of more than 2,000 persons wlr have been employed in teaching others. There is no better method for improving a whole people than this of instructing schoolmasters, and the good is therefore incalculable which has been accomplished by this establishment of the illustrious Boucher. "—"The institution has been the parent and the model of many similar in many parts of Germany. There is scarcely a capital town, and certainly no kingdom or country on the north of Germany, which has not at present a seminary." Here, then, is the proof that such a college or school for teaching schoolmasters, as our Clergy are now only thinking of forming when they are urged on by the deeds of others whom they cannot suffer to surpass them, has been established in Germany for almost a century, and had diffused its blessings over that country for many years before the National Society, under the auspices of the Clergy, had come into existence. If any contriv ance for the improvement of manufactures had been in general use in Germany half a century ago, would our manufacturers h ave neg l ecte d to import it into this country? But our Priesthood are the manufacturers of education, they insist on having a monopoly of it, they have long had such a monopoly; they contend, and millions of fools admit their arrogant pretensions, that they only can teach the people ; and here is a proof that a great improve ment has been in existence in a neighbouring coun try, with which ours was in continual communication, for nearly a century, and our education monopolists never dreamt till now of importing it. That of itself is a proof of their gross negligence. It remains to be added that the good work which they neglected, was much promoted by the humble and poorly paid ministers of Germany, exposed to the calamities of war and foreign invasion, while our well-protected, largely-paid Priests did nothing but feed themselves and encourage the persecution of those who did no: profess their creed. " The two inspectors of the seminary," says the writer we have already quoted, "must have been educated for the Church, and some of the most respectable members of tha Church have filled these situations. The present curator of the seminary (a person who, without receiving any salary, is the chief of the Establishment, who examines the accounts and answers for the conduct of all the inferiors to the Consistories), and who is the first dignitary of the Church of Hanover, once filled the place of Inspector to the seminary, rose to eminence, like many of his brethren, by the useful labours of teaching charity children. In fact whatever opinion may be formed of the education of the north of Germany (and every body admits that It is ex cellent) the clergy of that country deserve most of the praise of the censure which may belong to it. They have needed no rich bishoprics to stimulate them to perform their duties, and they afford a shining proof, that large money emoluments are not necessary to make a set of men either useful or dignified." The comparison we wish to establish is betweci the services of our own enormously paid and arro gant Priesthood, and those of other countries, in promoting general education ; and here is a proof that they, while our country has far outstripped other countries in most of the useful arts and many of of the scien ces , th ey are near l y a century b e hi n d the Clergy of the north of Germany, according to the practical admission conveyed in now proposing to do here what has there been done so long ago. It was perhaps the misfortune of the An glican Church that it had a different origin from the Lutheran Church. The Anglican Church was set up by the secular power from no very pure motives, and was not in its origin popular. It •-• • • always relied more on the Prince than the People, more on the Court and the Aristocracy than on the nation, and was upheld more by the power of the - - Government than by popular support. Republican . . . _ . Presbyterianism, and the more monarchical Lu- theranism, defied both Pope and Prince ; they were established in opposition to the secular power and have always, therefore, been more popular, and have relied more on the people for support than the Church of England. Like her Royal author, she has always commanded the people. " The reformation in the northern parts of Germany," saysVEN T UR I NI, " came not from the Prince but f rom th e p eo pl e , and no persons followed and promoted the new doc trines with greater readiness than the inferior Clergy. They saw themselves poor and despised by the higher orders, who revelled in superfluity, and who, possessing wealth and political power, could only be successfully attacked by the aid of the people. It was soon discovered that many of the people to whom it was necessary to ap peal were unable to read. The Clergy laboured earnestly to instruct them, and so: early as the year 1559, the Church ordinances of the Princi pality of Kalenberg, enacted by the influence of the Clergy, contain directiOns for the establishment and support of schools throughout the country." The regulations of the Scotch Parliament on this subject, date from 1646. Very early, therefore, and very continuously since, have the Clergy of Germany, obliged in the first blush of the Reformation to appeal to the people for support, laboured to improve education. The same fact is true of the Presbyterian Clergy of Scotland, who, never since 1646, have neglected the education of the people, but have watched over and promoted it most assiduously. The reverse has been the case with that Church, which here was the spawn of a Monarch's lust. Our own Priesthood never interested themselves at all in the matter, till the success of LANCASTER and others convinced them that they must struggle to maintain their hold over the public mind. Twenty • eight years ago, being frightened by the advance of the people, they began to appeal to the benevolence of the public to aid them in regaining a control over the nation. Having diverted to their own uses the revenues given to them to educate and instruct the people, they then levied an additional contribution on the charity of the public. They did not re-gorge—they did not give up the misapplied property, they kept it all, and the foolish public, when appealed to, apparently to reward and encourage profligacy in the Priesthood, gave them a large additional sum, and made that education a matter of charity, which was a right of the people and a duty of the Priesthood. If negli gence in the performance of duties, and a profligate appropriation of revenues to their own uses which were bestowed for the public advantage, entitles our Clergy now to dictate to the Parliament on the subject of Education, no men so much deserve to be obeyed as the Anglican priesthood. The Tories are at their old work, clamouring for union, and provoking dissension. They make it out by an analysis of the late division, that Mr. GOULBURN was only rejected from the office of Speaker by the Irish Members. Admit ted. Are the Irish Members not as much part of the Imperial Parliament as the Members of the Eastern Division of Kent ? Is it not justice that Mr. GOULBURN should be rejected by those whom he insulted and tyrannized over ? What right has a miserable tool of the miserable Orange faction to look for reward from his outraged Irish Catholic countrymen ? Mr. GOULBURN'S bigotry is very properly the cause of his defeat. According to the Tory analysis, 228 English Members voted for Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE and 252 for Mr. GOULBUR Only 41 Members for English counties supported the former, while 107 supported the latter—the more honour to Mr. LEFEVRE not to be supported by the Corn-law plunderers. He had the vote of 186 representatives of English towns, the most en lightened portion of the House of Commons, and Mr. GOULBURN had 142. The former was, in fact, supported by the honesty and intelligence of the House—the latter by its dishonesty and its bigotry. The new. French Cabinet composed as it is, accord ; ing to M. GAUGUIZR, of " hypocrites and apostates," has no reason to complain of the complaisance of the French Chamber of Deputies. After a debate in which M. M. GAUGUIER, MARION, CORNE, PABST, DURAND, SALVANDY, DUFAURE, and MAUGUIN, severally spoke for and against the Secret Service Money Bill, the measure was carried by the overwhelming majority of two hundred and sixty-two votes against seventy-one. M. TRIERS and M. ODILLON BARROT took no part in the discussion a circumstance the more remarkable as M. CORNE, in his speech against the Bill, declared that no Cabinet could re present the Left Centre from which M. TRIERS was excluded. It is suspected that the appointment of M. ODILLON BARROT'S brother to a lucrative office, and the attentions lately paid by the KING and his sister, Madame ADELAIDE, to TRIERS at the palace dinner parties, has had a miraculous effect in softening the sturdy obstinacy of these chiefs of the Opposition. We profess to set little value on the disinterested patriotism of French Statesmen, but their desertion of the popular and liberal cause will only precipitate the evils which the KING seeks to avert by encouraging their apostacy. A powerful and well-organized Op position with men of great weight and integrity at its head, is the safety valve of a constitutional Government. The people are never so tru l y dan gerous as when experience causes them to distrust every man whose rank or station gives him access to the person of the SOVEREIGN. King Louis PHILIPPE may live to acknowledge this truth. In the Chamber of Peers on Wednesday, Articles from 7 to 15 of the Copyright Bill were adopted. They extend the Copyright of Books to all tragedies, come dies, farces, and other scenic representations, and to the works of painters, sculptors, and engravers. A coolness has taken place between the Kale and the Duke of ORLEANS, in consequence of which the Duke no longer occupies his apartments at Neuilly. The cause is not mentioned in the Journals of Wed nesday. The following extract from a letter from Bayonne of the 26th inst., brings the latest news from the Spanish frontier : " Espartero obtained possession of Orduna on the 22d inst., and the Carlists, situated at Arciniega. an interme diate point between Restosa and Orduna, and thus threatened on both sides abandoned that town. This news explains the retrograde movement of Espartero. It is probable that by continuing his operations by the road from Mirande de Ebro to Bilboa he will gain an easier conquest of Balmaseda ; this fortified point, from whence Maroto, on the 17th, announced the retreat of the Queen's troops, will soon be exposed on the side of Ramales and Orduna. Unless any unexpected reverse occurs the western part of Biscay will be cleared of the Curlists in eight days, and Espartero may realize his pro phecy, that he would dine at Durango on the 25th of June. There is every reason to believe that the Carlists have been also kept on the alert in Navarre, for General Diego Leon, who left Pampeluna on the 20th, has marched towards Larraga, wi t h hi s heavy artillery, and by availing himself of the means of transport of the country, which he has put in requisition, he may have been able on the same day that Espartero took possession of Orduna, to make a serious demonstration against Estella. "P. S. A grand battle must be hourly expected. Es partero at the head of an imposing force, occupies the &era d'Ord una , an elevated rock, over w hi c h passes the Royal r oa d f rom Castille to Bilboa.

THE QUEEN AND REFORM.—A very numer ous public meeting of the inhabitants of Colchester was held at the Assembly-room of the Angel Inn, on Monday evening last, " for the purpose of agreeing to an address to be presented to her Majesty at the present crisis." Mr. M'Pherson, a Chartist, towards the close of the proceed. ings, addressed the meeting in a speech that went to the approval of the Queen's, and the disapproval of her Majesty's Ministers' conduct. Blame was bestowed on the Whigs by Mr. Dennis also, who trusted that " the sun of freedom is again rising, and will illumine the political hemisphere, and that peace and concord will reign through. out the land." Three cheers were given for the Queen, and the same number for the People's Charter. Three deep groans were conferred on Peel. GREAT MEETING AT CORK.—A highly influential, and most numerous Meeting of the Citizens of Cork, convened by requisition, took place in the County Court-house last Monday, when an Address was voted to her Majesty the Queen, expressive of their feelings at her Majesty's recent noble resistance of those arrogant and un constitutional conditions and restraints sought to be imposed on the Royal will by Sir Robert Peel, as the leader of the Tory faction. THE HEREDITARY GRAND DUKE OF Rus- SU. —His Imperial Highness, and his Royal Highness the Prince William Henry of the Netherlands, arrived at Mivart's Hotel, shortly after twelve, yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. His Excellency Count Orloff, preceptor to his Imperial Highness, and Count Tolstoy, left Windsor Castle at an early hour, and were in town before nine in the morning. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke of Rus sia forwarded the munificent sum of 3001. to the Lord Mayor, yesterday, for the necessitous poor of the city of London. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—.The Duke of St. Alban's was married on Wednesday, at the seat of the lady's family in Leicestershire, to Miss Gubbins, daughter of General Gubbins. The whole of the Beauclerk family were present. HANOVER, MAY 24. Several members of the Second Chamber, have lately sent in their resigna tion, which much diminishes the probability of the meeting of the Chamber on the 28th of May, so close at hand. After their resignations there remains only 38 Members of the Second Chamber, but ten of them are newly elected, and not taken their oaths, who arc admitted to take their seats before their election has been valued by a full Chamber, and this, contrary to a custom which has been in force for twenty years, which has never been contradicted, and has been;acted upon since by the present Government. Of these 38, many are decided partisans of the Constitution of 1833, on whom the Cabinet cannot reckon, so that it seems likely that the Chamber will again be incomplete for some weeks. His Excellency Count Pozzo di Borgo gave a sumptuous banqeest, last evening, at Ashburnham House, to the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia. It was under stood to be a farewell banquet, and, in addition to his Im perial Highness, the party included his Royal Highness Prince William Henry of the Netherlands, his Serene Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Weimar, Prince Dol. gorouky and Bariatinsky, Count Orloff, Lord Torrington, Count and Countess Woronzow, Dowager Countess of Pembroke, Baron de Lieven, Counsellor Joukoffsky, Ge neral Kaveline.: Count •Vietria. M. D'Adlerber g , Count Tolstoy, Count and Countess Charles Pozzo di Borgo, Count and Countess Zavadowsky, Countess Petotski, Countess Choiseul, M. de Kisseliff, &c. HAMBURG, MAY 28.—Private accounts from Limburg say that Dr. Christiani, who intended to go to Hanover to be present at the opening of the Session of the Estates of the Kingdom, which takes place to-day, has received, in a Cabinet letter, positive injunctions not to appear, with the intimation that if he does, measures will be taken to prevent his doing any mischief. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY B.—The Turkish Government has just decided on a measure which will in terfere greatly with the foreign Steam Companies now running their boats in this country, viz., to establish boats of their own, to bear the name of packets, but to carry passengers, goods, money, &c. ; the first, a fine steamer of about 600 tons, will commence on the Smyrna line in about a month ; the second, of 600 tons, will take the Trebisonde line in about four months; she is a splendid boat, built here, An old English boat we called the Hilton Joliffe, now the Saheer el Kebeer (Great Magi cian) will be employed in the neighbourhood of the capital as a tug. Others will be built for the purpose of com pleting the number of boats necessary. The Monarch, hourly expected from England, will run in the Sea of 'Marmora. As all the boats will be not only commanded, but chiefly manned by Franks, it may go hard with the foreign Companies, as privileges will probably be accorded to the Turkish steamers. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 30.—(From our COT respondent.)—THE SOUTHAMPTON RAILWA Y. —The ar rangements preparatory to the contemplated opening of the line from Southampton to Winchester on the 10th of June (simultaneously with the extension of the line from Winchfield to Shapley, near Basingstoke) ; are in a state of forwardness, which justifies implicit confidence in the belief that no disappointment will take place. The extensive erection constituting the terminus in this town, together with a Branch Station for the accommodation of passengers, have assumed an appearance closely bor dering on completion ; and the beautiful engine of sixteen horse power, supplied from the foundry of Messrs. Sum mers, Groves and Day, of Mill-place, near this town, has been placed on the road, and made an experimental trip yesterday evening, when she fully realized the high ex pectations which had been raised by an examination of her finely-executed complex machinery. Another, and a much more powerful engine, together with several of the car. riages for passengers, are expected to-day ; several of the luggage waggons have already been received from the depot. APOTHECARIES' HALL.—At a Court of Exa miners, held last night at Apothecaries' Hall, the following gentlemen were granted certificates of qualification : John Nathaniel Barlow ... Writtle, Essex. Herbert Diaper Portsmouth. Thomas Pearce Bevan Banbury. Henry Hensley ... Bath. John Chadwick Lancashire. John Smith Gaunt George Devereux Harrison Welch Pool, illontgo meryshire. Peter John Thompson Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Richard Hindle Blackburn. William Edward Coyte Bishop Norwich. Peter William Leather Prescott. Yesterday the annual meeting of the Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, was held at the Free. masons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, pursuant to adver tisement, for the purpose of laying before the public the report o f th e C omm i ttee f or the past year, and also t o dis tribute medals to those persons whom the Society had found to have distinguished themselves by saving the lives of fellow-creatures from fire, at the hazard of their own. The proceedings were of a tumultuous description. A petition has been got up by the Tories of Frome against the Government grant for National Educa tion, about to be proposed.—_A similar petition was also lying for signature, on Sunday last, at the Methodist Chapel, in conformity with a resolution passed at a meet ing of their preachers in London.— Wilts Independent. The " Countess of Lonsdale" steam-ship, be longing to the General Steam Navigation Company, arrived last night at one o'clock from Hamburg with her Majesty's mail. She left Hamburgh on Wednesday morning, and has accomplished the passage in the unu sually short space of forty-seven hours. Among her passengers were Lord Loftus, Baron von Bertouche, Ad. miral Luthers, &c. LAUNCH OF A STEAM-SHlP.—Yesterday a new steam-vessel, called the Queen, was launched from the ship-building yard of Messrs. Curling and Young, at Limehouse, in the presence of a vast concourse of specta tors. The ship is of 800 tons burden admeasurement, 200 feet in length, and 29 in breadth, exclusive of the paddle. boxes. This splendid vessel has been built for the East India Company, and is intended to navigate the Indian rivers. LAUNCH AT WOOLWICH DOCK-YARD.-01 1 Tuesday afternoon a vast concourse of persons assembled at Woolwich to witness the interesting scene of the launch of her Majesty's sloop the Crane from the Dock-yard. Lady Bloomfield performed the ceremony of christening. HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY.- The usnil half-yearly general meeting of this Company was bid I yesterday. The Earl of Devon in the Chair. LORD WESTERN'S SHEEP.—Lord Western has thrown out a challenge to any South Down breeder to show against his Anglo-Merino sheep at tie next exhibition of the East Essex Agricultural Association at Colchester. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. It appears that the exportation of Bullion has consider ably diminished this week, though that of Gold bears a larger portion. From the official returns from the period between the 23d and 24th May, both inclusive, it appears that cold in bars has been exported to the extent of 8,060 ounces, and in coin 6,150, but in Silver the export has been reduced to 11,272 ounces in coins only. The notice issued by the Dank of England yesterday, we have no doubt will have in a short time a good effect to improve the money market, particularly for commercial purposes. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAT 31.—The Cotton Market continues dull and without any improvement in prices ; the sales are 2,000 bags, chiefly of American descriptions. The arrivals this morning are French, Ostend ? Dublin, and Hamburg: mails, arid ship letters from Canton. Accounts from Ghent of the 26th May, state that two of the cotton manufactories there have left off working since the 25th of May, an another is going to follow, owing to the work people not consenting to a diminution of their wages ; this determination had caused a great fer mentation among the working classes. According to accounts from Odessa of the 9th May, it appears that fifty thousand infantry, twenty thousand cavalry, and a train of 150 pieces of cannon, were ap proaching the Turkish frontier. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yester day's date, but it does not contain any later dates from the East than previously received. A Hamburg mail has arrived with papers of the 29th May bringing the price of Metaliques 106 ; Bank Shares 1511. The above papers do not bring any fresh intelligence from Constantinople or Egypt of later dates than already pub lished. The following official answer has been sent by Viscount Palmerston to an application from Liverpool respecting the intention of the French raising the bluckade of Buenos Ayres : Foreign Office, May 1139. Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 22d inst., and to ac quaint you in answer, that her Majesty's Government have not been informed that the French Government have de termined to raise the blockade of Buenos Ayres, or to adjust their differences with the Government of Buenos Ayres through the medium of Great Britain.

HANSARD.-JUDGMENT. Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case at great length at the sitting of the Court. It was an action for 6 publication defaming the plaintiff's character, by imputing to him the puiilication of obscene libels. The plea ' that the publication was contained in a report from th e inspectors of prisons to the Secretary of State—that the Court of Aldermen had written an answer to that report , to which the inspectors of prisons had replied, r epeating the former statement, and adding that the impr per bo o found in the prison was a book published by the plaintiff- - • that all these documents were printed by order of the Hos 6e of Commons, w hich camp to the r eso luti on tr) publish e nd sell all papers printed for the use of the Mambo's, and tbat such publication was essential to the due performance °f the function s o f P ar li a ment, more e s p ec i a lly o f the Hc il9. " „ of Commou s , as b e i ng the represent a tiv e p or tion of it. That plea, it was contended, would form a good defence to the action on various grout, ds, first, that the act was d el l by order of the House of Commsons, a court superior to a and answerable t o none . Th e su nrema c y o f Parliame nt there asserted could no t b e mainParliamentd, because the Ha u l ' of Commons was not P ar li ament , b ut on ly a component onv Pef,, of it. Parliament could ma k e and unmake laws, but by the concurrence of th e th ree estates •P f the real o !' . The next defence invol ve d i n th e p l ea was , t h at the defen a r ant had committed th e gr i evance comp l a i ne d by ord e s, of the House of Commons, and by virtue of its In';siL e g, se The Attorney-General told th em th a t w h erever the 11 4 7-- c i of Commons ex e r c i se d an y aut h or i ty on t h e grout to privilege, in such a case th e C ourts o f l aw h a d no rig"" he interfere, and that they had nothing to do but declare claim well grounded, because it had been made. It fa not without the utmost respect that the Court procee d- Ø to examine what had been promulgated by so high ~.:h authority. They would willingly avo id an i nqu iry wu l might lead them to a different conclusion, but whe n fellow-subject came before them and claimed redress for n an injury, injury, they had no o pti on , t h ey were b oun d to i n quire the matter, and to g i ve j u d gment as t h e l aw awarded 1t Whatever defence mi g ht b e ma d e f or t h e wron g dome , l a was their duty to examine its principle. It was conten,u_'t that the defendant had a legal right to be protected aga lu :f all actions, for anything done by order of the 1101 1 ; ,, g Commons. The Court, however, could not avoid as i e -- o a the question whether the defendant possessed that S e. right or not. Parliament was said to be supreme, ana only Court fully acknowledged its supremacy, but supreme when all three branches of the L it was were acting together, and it followed that neither were acting was supreme when acting by itself. It w as e said that the privilege of one branch was the privi•eig_. of all. In one sense that was true, because what impeded the functions of one branch impeded the functions of the whole. All the essential parts of the machine Ine s t be in order before it could work as a whole ; but it n 3 : 35 , 1 egislature an seen that the declaration of its privileges was well founoe t before it could be conceded by th e C o urt. The argum ee then became historical, and it was said that the three", tates of the realm never would have left their privileg e at the mercy of inferior Courts, the Judges of which 0 accede dependent and paid by the Crown. They could not Wee to that, although they were far from believing that the Judges ever had or ought to have the smallest povVer over either House of Parliament. The independence of Parliament was the corner stone of the Constitution. and the Judges who in the reign of James the Second invaded it justly earned the abhorrence of all enlightened men.. But a mean submission to power was not exclusively at-• tached to the Judges, for they could not forget the con duct of the House of Commons in the case of Floyd, one of its members, for speakin g disrespectfully of the son and daughter of James, and how little sense of jus tice or independence it then evinced, when it directed his body to be tortured, his property confiscated, his name degraded, and himself imprisoned for life. Th e Lords rebuked the Commons for that invasion of i t° privileges, and the Commons humbly apologized, sentence was carried into full effect. Could any and believe believe that either House in that instance entertame" any very high or just sense of its independence. The Noble and Learned Lord then referred at some length, ; the case of " Burdett v. Abbott," and the several other cases relied upon by the Attorney-General in the course of his argument pointing out in what they differed from ,t' t case now before the Court, and concluded by observing ts a r on the whole the Court was of opinion that the demur° must prevail, and their judgment be for the plaintiff. The Court was extremely crowded during the delivl but the of the judgment, which occupied nearly two hours. 1 ",,1 t i Brougham was upon the bench, until Lord Denman P i , concluded, and appeared to pay great attention to th e guments of the Chief Justice.
