tut etwilrimmt would lay down for the step they 'wen ;sow about to take?_( Hear, hear.) The Right Hen. Baronet had stated to the House that, in reference to this proposition, one of three courses was open to him to adopt. ; Now ha (Mr. D'lsraeli) never yet heard the Right Hon. Baronet bring forward any measure of importance in that House that he did not make the very same statement.— (Great laughter.) He had never yet heard the Right Hon. Baronet, upon such occasions, declare that those three courses were not open to him—(Continued laughter)—and, looking at ' the position of the Right Hon. Baronet, he (Mr. D'lsraeli) should say he was right.—(Laughter.) Those three courses ' appeared to him (Mr. D'lsraeli) to be—first, the course the Right Hon. Baronet had not been following—(Laughter)— secondly, the course he was following—(Laughter)—and, thirdly, the one he ought to have been following.—(Loud laughter.) Rut then there was a fourth course—a course that the House might follow—namely, to adopt this proposition, and then rescind it.—(Loud laughter.) The Right Hon. Baronet had stated, as he always did, that he always acted upon prece dent ; and no matter how great or important the measure was, he invariably fell back upon his small precedents.—(Laughter.) He always tested the merits of the steam-engine by going back to the little incident of the tea-kettle—(Laughter)—or some such small matter, and then he contended that the House had admitted the principle.—( Hear. ) Now he (Mr. D'lsraeli) denied this, because at first this was but a temporary grant, and now it was sought to make it a permanent ene.—( Hear. ) But now, with regard to the speech of the Right Hon. Gen- ' tleman (Mr. Gladstone), it appeared to him (Mr. D'lsraeli) that the Right Hon. Gentleman's argument was to the effect that circumstances had subverted principles.—( Hear, and laughter.) He (Mr. D'lsraeli) up to this time looked upon the Right Honourable Gentleman as the very chivalry of principle, and, therefore, it was not expected that he would have been the one to give this small change of circumstances for principle. —(Laughter.) But, these circumstances had not changed slew the time of Mr. Perceval, and how astounded at this change would not the ghost of that gentleman be, if he had a ghost.—( Laughter.) Look at the position of the Church in Scotland and in Ireland, and would it then be contended that they had a constitution of Church and State ?—( Hear. ) Such a thing had been boasted of at a public dinner, but it was well known that it did not exist.—( Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Perceval and Lord Liverpool stated that the Established Church in Scotland was a model of ecclesiastical government, because it gave them no trouble. —(Laughter. ) It was now rent in twain • they had two churches—aye; they had three churches in gcotland; because now there was a free church. What was the question before them ? If they were going to apply that principle to all sections of sectarianism, to all sec tions of dissent that existed in the three kingdoms, he should like to know when they were to stop. It became a great ques . tion, what they were to do. He had that confidence in the Church, that be believed that its connexion with the State was of little importance and of great injury. It did not rest upon the endowment of the State ; if it were left to itself, it would not shrink from the contest, and he believed that in Ire land at this present moment, if it were a question whether the Church were to be disconnected with the State, or another church endowed, the Protestants would say, " Disconnect us from the State, and do not endow another church." If they placed connexion between churches and the State, were they bound to take a pantheistic principle, and to say, no matter what were the opinions of the majority, let them go to Down ing -street, and they would be provided for. Were they pre pared to with that superfine pretence of sympathy with the Roman Catholic population of Ireland ? He could conceive nothing more foreign to the customs, manners, and convictions of the people of this country, than to place a surveillance over their priests and their religious ceremonies. He denied that the Church in England had been the creature of the State, and if any Minister or powerful resident in Downing-street were to try to place a surveillance over it, he was certain that the people of England would not submit to it. Could he believe that the people of Ireland would endure it ? That was the principal reason ; it was so vast and so cogent. Why, under any other circumstances, he would oppose this Bill. This Bill had been —he would not say - in a sinister manner—but in a manner which must have taken the country and the majority of this House by surprise, brought in ; it would confirm, or rather in t) o !flee, for he would not say they existed before, principles than which nothing could be more prejudicial or more hateful to the people of England. He had other reasons for opposing the Bill. He opposed it from the manner in which it had been brought in, and on account of the men who had brought it forward.—(Cheers, and a laugh.) He should be perfectly ready to meet that cheer, and that solitary laugh. He opposed it because he did not agree wi,h the principle of endowment; and he objected to the Bill because he did not think that the Gentlemen who at present occupied the Treasury benches were morally entitled to bring it for ward ; and because it embodied principles against which those Gentlemen, when in the Opposition, signally struggled (Cheers from both sides of the House.) When he remembered all their votes and speeches about education—when he remem bered their discussions and the appropriation clause—( Cheers) —he could not think that because Gentlemen cross the House by opposing a certain tenour of policy, which they ought to support, they should have the privilege of saying to them, " Look to our merits, and, for Heaven's sake, support us." Let them come to the discussion whether the consideration of party ought to influence the consideration of this House. Let them put an end to this misconception—let them meet it at once, and let it not be the position of every gentleman at his side of the House, who stated his candid opinion, that he should be accused of open rebellion, by a Minister who was not, when on the other side of the House, distinguished for open rebellion, hut for covert muriny.—( Hear, hear.) If they objected to a Parliamentary Government, they had at least a case, since that Parliamentary Government had done what Rome in its worst days never did—it mortgaged industry to protect property—(Cheers)--for there never were a people harder worked and worse paid. He objected to that measure because it was supported and brought forward by those who, on former occasions, had opposed such measures. The Honourable Gentleman then expressed his surprise that, though. the Opposition had reason to agree with the contents of the measure, they should have supported it when they saw the sur reptitious manner in which it was brought forward. Suppose the Bill had been introduced by the Noble Lord opposite, there would at least have been a constitutional opposition—they would have had a discussion, and might have pronounced an opinion which would have carried their measure. They had now no opinion—they had a Government who were carrying their measures by organisation. They had a Minister who would call their observations personal; but they bad a right to draw their inferences, which he thought legitimate, and could not be determined in a fair discussion. He did not know what the House might think of the stopping of Parliamentary di cussions in that way ; it had been tried in another House, which was there called "the other place."—( Laughter.) He re collected when they used to toast that other place with three times three and nine times nine, when the independence of the other place was their toast ; but where was the independ ence of that other place now ?_( Laughter and cheers.) It was not Radicalism, or the revolutionary spirit of the nineteenth century that had resigned that other place to its illus trious insignificance—it was the Conservatism of their Ministry. Would they recommend it to a Parliamentary Committee? Would they follow the usage of another place ? Would they convert another place into a guard-room, and the House of Commons into a vestry ? Would they thus pass this Bill for Maynooth —and as the Member for Newark had said, violate every im portant principle, and entrap all public feeling and natural sentiment? Would they thus descry every distinctive prin ciples? Would they thus be misled by a cress so deeply low and so adroitly accomplished? The instances were a strange opposition, a most contrasting likeness. The had now the giant to Maynooth instead of the Irish Registration Bill.— ( Hear, hear, and great laughter.) Would they thus sup port the Hon. Gentleman in his position, and thus after four years' experience of lowering the effect of the influence and destroying the power of working with that constitutional body, a working Opposition. What was the conduct which they, the Conservative party, had experienced after four years of trial, but one of deception and betrayal. But they had this night come to a crisis—a crisis in which they were to test whe ther the country was to be ruled by a popular Government or a Parliamentary Administration, or whether they were at once to do away with that wholesome check—a constitutional opposition. What had they but, according to the land phrase in Ireland, a great Parliamentary middle man ?—( Great laughter.) They all knew what a middle man was—he was one who bamboozled one party and plundered the other. One who having attained a position to which he was never entitled, cried out let us have no more Parliamentary questions but permanency , of tenure.—( Hear, and laughter.) He should like to have a Commission to inquire into the tenure on which Downing •street was held, for he much feared that many of the condi:ions had never been complied with, and that some of the covenants of the lease had never been fulfilled.—( Great cheering.) He hoped that he should not be answered by Hansard. He, for his part, was astonished that Hon. Gentle men were so fund of referring to the authority of Hansard. He knew that Hansard was a great authority, but what did one obtain by looking over the pages of Hansard for thirty years, yea, even for more than thirty years, of an eminent career, in order to discuss rightly the principles of experienced statesmen on such grants as those raised by the question of May ? What did one see by looking over only a quarter of a century, or more, of even one's own speeches but dreary pages of interminable talk and weary wastes of inane superficiality. What but a lamentable record of pledges broken and budgets blown up—( Great laughter)— throughout which he could not trace nought but which was ' vain in its object and tortuous in its course—where not one happy thought or one generous emotion was to be traced, but all presented the very Dunciad of politics where the whole system was evidently one of a course of hypocrisy by which that House had been misled ; where all that was matter for conduct was fallacious in its view and Machiavelian in its principle. The very hum-drum hocus-pocus of party manoeuvre. Some thing that would hardly illustrate the conduct of a gentleman who had left the Cabinet for a reason which as yet had never been given, and who would in all probability return to it for a reason that was equally obscure. This night that system was to be brought to the test, and he trusted that the Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland would not accept the gift from the hand that was polluted by the hand that presented it. This was no question of mere political economy ; and he hoped that it would meet their hostility as it did with his. He entertained no hostility to the grounds on which this grant was to be made • he did no t o bj ect t o th e en dowment of Roman Catholic colleges ; but he would not thus insult them. How were Sectarian Colleges in England supported, and in many of them greater revenues were derived than those proposed for the Roman Catholic Colleges, and which were placed in pre cisely the same circumstances —why, in the sympathy of their co-religionists. B ut i n t hi s measure he trusted that the Right Hon. Baronet would not find the same flattering sup port—the same solace i n feeling which had hitherto " supported him from the benches behind; that he would not find his Parliamentary tactics so available for his individual pur poses, and that he would not be backed by the chorus behind him. The Hon. Gentleman said that this was a meagre grant, and the Gentleman on the left cheered him, and said that it was—in truth it was, a meagre grant. For what was the w dif ference to the Roman Catholic prie s th oo d? If they be served at all , they should be served with something w ere to bet ter than the difference between 23,000/. and 28,0001. is ms _ thing better than the difference of two in a bed and three. What did they gain by a review of the last quarter of a cen fury ? The Roman Catholic gentlemen would find nothing but a bleak prospect of fruitless hopes, and promises unfulfilled. They had come to the fatal state of a disregard of all public claims, and to a sacrifice of all personal principle. He did not despair of having the support of the Whigs, for he believed that they were alive to the impulses of hereditary duty, consti tutional impulse, and honourable convictions. He did not despair of the support of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord J. Russell), whose principles bad always exhibited the honesty, and whose intellect had always evinced his fitness for becoming the successor of his great prototype-- Mr. Fox ; and he did not think that, if the Noble Lord were in Mr. Fox's position, that if he held his position, and was laden with his responsibilities, that he would be content to be dragged for three years at the trium phal car of one who was his inferior in apprehension as he was in honour—one who had conquered him by no fair means of • coati t, and who was his superior—if superior at all—only in t tactics of chicanery and art. He bad always admired his ga nt spirit, and he trusted that he would resist as he hoped i atways would the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and the whole of'the Whig', in repudiating the grant to Maynooth from such nuwisrthy bands.—(Cheers.) He trusted that the people of Entd would see that personal convenience was not national honotiK hat cunning was not caution, and that habitual per. fidtwits,ebot high policy of state. The practice of duplicity was 'to its close. This was no question of constitutional . patson, and he trusted that it would be decided by the term - Ration of this dynasty of dissension, official despotism, and Par liamentary imposture.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.-7 he usual Birmingham quar terly meeting of the ironmasters of the midland districts was held in the Town-hall this day, and was unusually well at tended. It has already been announced that at a prelimi nary meeting, held at Wolverhampton, this day fortnight. it was determined to make another advance of 2/. per ton, making bar iron about 12/., and hoops about 121. 10s. Shrop shire pig-iron is said to have advanced from 61. ss. to GI. 10s. This extraordinary price of all descriptions of iron was main tained at the meeting at Walsall on Tuesday, at Wolver hampton yesterday, and again at the present meeting in Bir mingham this day. At the meeting at Wolverhampton matters assumed a somewhat dull and heavy appearance; there was by no means the same degree of buoyancy so con spicuously exhibited at the meeting a fortnight since. To-day in answer to questions upon the subject several of the most extensive and influential ironmasters, replied— " There was no intention to attempt a further advance—they were perfectly content with the present prices, if they could be maintained." It could not, however, be doubted, we think, from the general complexion of the meeting, that some misgivings, as to the long continuance of the present prices, have come over the minds of some of the great masters. The de feat or abandonment of many of the projected lines of rail way—foreign competition, already sensibly felt in the market —and the great injury which the high price of iron has already inflicted upon the hardware trade it is thought, of necessity, will cause a reduction. Another more powerful reason may be given for the probability of this result. The large speculators in iron—men who, for the last four or six months, have been hoarding up stocks with a view to a high price—seem to imagine that it has reached the maximum, and are beginning to bring it into the market. This was stated at the meeting to-day. Persons deeply interested in tl►e iron trade of this neigh bourhood generally think that there was much truth in the few observations which fell from Lord Ashburton in the House of Lords, on Monday evening. Should a fall take place only half as suddenly as the recent rise, the mischief done to the working population of the mining districts will In incalculable. No doubt, many of the ironmasters, in the course of a short time, will have amassed immense fortunes, but vast numbers of the work people, whose increase of wages has not been in proportion to the employers' increase of profits, will be thrown out of work, and unlike the masters, when the evil day arrives, without the means of maintenance. At present, however, beyond the stand at the present prices, to which I have alluded, there does not appear any slackness of employment. The furnaces are in full work, aid the men employed at the advanced wages conceded to them a few weeks ago. It is to be hoped that now the fever of speculation has somewhat abated, this state of things may continue, that supply and demand may correspond, and that steadiness of paying crisis be the result of present ex citement and uncertainty. The last of the quarterly meetings is to be held at Dud ley on Saturday night. At the meetings on former occasions, some of the great iron proprietors have dissented from the prices agreed upon at Wolverhampton and Birmingham. This proceeding, as a matter of course, has tended to throw doubt and distrust upon all general agreements of the trade, for such is the magnitude and influence of the houses alluded to, that a fall by them would, of necessity, cause a general fall by other. smaller competing firms. What may be the course pursued on Saturday cannot yet be anticipated. THE WARWICKSHIRE COL LIERIES. At several of these collieries the workmen have within the last week given notice for an advance in their wages, in consequence of the great rise in the price of iron and coals in the adjoining county of Statlhrd, and where an advance of wages has been given to all the workmen. In consequence of the above notice being given, the proprietor of the Craven Colliery, in the Warwickshire district, after regaling his workmen with a good supply of beef and good old ale, ad dressed them as follows: FaiDAY ;NIGHT'S GAZETTE: DOWNING-STREET, APRIL 11, 1845.

"3ly good Workmen,—lt is at such a meeting as this that a reciprocal good understanding can be maintained between the employer and employed, and was the trade in such a state that I could meet you more frequently, it would afford me much pleasure. 1 have been informed, and I know it to be correct, that at some of the neighbouring collieries notice has been given for an advance of wages, and I must allow you richly deserve it. I well know the dangers you have to con• tend with, and also the hard and slavish work you have to go through. But at the same time, I beg to give you and the neighbouring workmen some advice before you go too far in giving notice. Although I know it is not your intention to give me notice at present, and I am glad you have thought better than to du so, for before workmen give notice to their employer for a rise of wages, they should well consider whe ther their employers are in a situation to do so. I must here remind you adult unfortunate year 1842, when the whole of the colliers in this district struck for an advance of wages, which entailed a good deal of suffering upon many poor wo:kinen, and which they have scarcely recovered from yet. You all found out it was not i❑ the power of your masters to better your condition, in consequence of the low price of coals, and which is the case now. The trade generally throughout England, in 1842, was in as depressed a state, that it would have been impolitic to raise the price of coals ; but now it is quite different, and in my opinion, the state of trade will allow of an advance, and you who have the great danger of getting the coals are entitled to a better remuneration for your labour. But in doingthis, great care must be taken in the coal trade in this district—for an advance in the price of coals here, without a corresponding one in the adjoining counties of Derby, Leicester, and Not tingham, would have the effect of taking the trade from you, and giving it to them, which would of course be very inju • rious to your employers as well as yourselves. But if the coal-owners in those counties would consent to a rise of coals, it would better the condition of their workmen as well as you. I think the day is close at hand when this will be the case, for I am glad to tell you that the greater part of the coal-owners of this district had a meeting this week, to take into consideration an advance in the price of coals, and also to better you in a rise of wages; end for that purpose a deputation, of which I am one, was appointed to see the coal-owners in the above counties, and in a short time we shall be able to give you further infor mation on the subject. But Ido sincerely hope that the other colliers in this district will take the same view of the subject that you have taken, and continue at their work until the coal-owners can get an advance, to enable them to assist you. You must also bear in mind that the masters have been selling coals at much lower prices than at the time your wages were lowered sixpence a day. But take my advice, keep to your work. I will use every effort in my power to get an advance. The moment I sell the first ton of coal at a higher price, you shall have the advance of wages." The whole of the men thanked their employer for the manner in which he had expressed himself towards them, and promised to continue their work, leaving their case en• tirely in his hands.—Coventry Herald.

Court r (LF AlFilll- Thn Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. His Lordship was occupied the whole morning with the bankrupt petition, "In re Clarke," which possessetd no point of public interest. ROLLS' COURT, Ai» il 11. The Master of the Rolls took causes to-day, but no ease calling for special report came before his Lordship. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, Aprilll. The Vice •Chancellor of England, after disposing of the case of " Pearce v. Brooks," proceeded to bear unopposed pe titions and short causes, none of which wers of any public interest. Having disposed of all these, the Court then pro ceeded to hear the further arguments in the ease of "Green wood and others v. Taylor," which came beare his Honour upon exceptions on the part of the Crown to the Master's report. Most of our readers will no doubt be aware of the facts of the case, as we have, upon several occasions, entered into a detail of them ; but, as some may not be acquainted with them, we rill just shortly advert to them again, as they relate to no less a personage than the late Duke of York. The suit was instituted by the plaintiffs as creditors of his Royal highness the late Duke of York, for the purpose of administer ing the estate and effects of the Duke, under a decree of theCeurt. By the decree taken in the suit, it was referred to the Master to take an account of the debts of the Duke, to compute in terest on such of the debts as carried interest, and to ascer tain and state what securities were connected with those debts. The Master had now made his report, by which he found that by a deed of November, 1811, the Duke of York assigned a lease of the dwelling-house and pieces of land be longing to it in Stable-yard, St. James's, granted to him by the Crown in 1810, to Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Co., to secure the payment of past and future advances to be made to him-by them, and he in that deed covenanted to repay the various sums so advanced, with interest thereon, and to in demnify them against any actions which might be brought against them in respect thereof, and undertaking to repay and transfer the money in case Greenwood and Co. should be called on to pay the said principal sums and interest. The Master then found that by a deed of May, 1824, the Crown granted to the Duke of York further pieces of land ad joining the land demised to the Duke in Stable-yard by the lease of 1810. The Master found that by a deed of July, 1824, the Duke of York mortgaged this lease to Greenwood and Co., as a further security for past and future advances. The Master then found that a deed dated March, 1826, was executed between the Crown, the Duke of York, and Messrs Greenwood and Co., the Duke of York being then desirous of taking down his old house in Stable-yard, and to obtain a more extensive lease from the Crown in order to build York-house. That deed recited that Greenwood and Co. had at that time advanced 30,000/. to the Duke, and they agreed to join the Duke in surrendering the two former leases. A new lease was then granted by the Crown to the Duke, who was to be at liberty to assign it to Messrs. Greenwood and Co. as security for their previous advances of 30,000/. The Master then found that the Duke mort gaged this lease and the premises in May. 1826, to Messrs. Coutts, Trotter, and Co., for a sum of 30,000/. No new mortgage of the lease was made to Greenwood and Co., but the mortgage-deed to Coutts and Co. stated that Messrs. Greenwood and Co. had a lien for 30,0001. on the property still subsisting. The Duke of York being in want of money to complete the build ing of York House, he applied to the Lords of the Treasury, and they, upon ascertaining the state of the building, and the incumbrances thereon, advanced two sums of 10,000/. each to complete the building, which the Duke was informed would be worth 120,000/. when finished. The Master then found that the Duke of York, to secure the payment of this advance by the Treasury, signed a memorandum, whereby he agreed to execute upon request, within six months, a security upon the lease and property in Stable-yard ; and he farther screed that, in case the Lords__of the Treasury should pay off the existing mortgage of 30,000/., and make further advances for the completion of the hous - ., be would enter into an engage ment, in case he should be disposed to part with the house be fore the money secure,i thereon should be paid, and not other wise, to give the Crown an option, or priority, of purchase at a valuation, to be made by two indifferent persons chosen by each party, and in case they did not pay off the money in the Duke's lifetime, then his representatives were to offer the premises for sale to the Lords of the Treasury. on the same terms. The Master also found that, on the 26th of July, 1826, the Duke of York wrote a letter to toe Lords of the Treasury stating that the expenses of completing York House were greater than he had expected, and that it would be neces sary for him to raise more money for that purpose, and that be would prefer to have the money advanced by them. The Treasury agreed to advance further sums on the security of the lease and premises, and they undertook to pay off Courts and Co.'s mortgage of 30.0001, and also Messrs. Greenwood and Co.s incumbrance of 30,0001., the Duke giving them a priority of purchase. The Crown paid off the mortgage of Messrs. Coutts and Co. for 30,000/., and took an assignment of it, and advanced further sums of 10,000/. and 12,000/. to the Duke to complete the building. The Duke died on the sth of March, 1527. and subsequently the Crown purchased from his executors the property in the lease and premises of York House, for 81,9131. Afterwards the Crown disposed of York House to the Duke of Sutherland for 71,000/ In 1835, Messrs. Greenwood and Co. filed a bill of foreclosure against the ex ecutors of the Duke, in respect of their security for 30,000/. In that suit an order was made by consent that the Crown might be at liberty to pay off Messrs. Greenwood and Co., and take a conveyance of their interest in the property of York House. The Crown accordingly paid Messrs Green wood 30,0001., and they conveyed by deed their interest in the premises to the Crown. Under these circumstances it was that the Crown claimed before the Master to be ranked as a specialty creditor on the general estate of the Duke of York, in respect to the money owing to the Crown on account of the various ad vances to pay off the incumbrances on York House, and the sums of money advanced to the Duke to complete it. The Crown relied mainly on the covenant in the mortgage-deed of 1811 to pay off all advances, and that covenant gave the Crown a right to be placed in the situation of a specialty cre ditor. The Master, in the subsequent part of his report, found that the Crown was entitled to a lien for 10,0001., and interests on the proceeds of the Duke's plate; that the Crown was a legal mortgagee and specialty creditor for 30,000/. for principal on the mortgage assessed to them by Coutts and Co. ; and that the Crown was a specialty creditor in respect of the amount of rent in the existing and surrendered leases ; that the Crown was equitable mortgagee in respect of all other sums advanced and interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor WlonAm.) THORNTON V. THE PORTSMOUTH AND ARUNDEL NAVIGATION COMPANY. His lloNoun gave judgment to• day in this case, which came before him yesterday, and upon the conclusion of the argu ments on which he partly stated his opinion, but reserved his final judgment till this morning. The case came before Court upon demurrer. The plaintiff was mortgagee of the rates and tolls of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, which led into Chichester harbour. By his bill he sought fore closure, an account, and the appointment of a receiver. The company had been established under an Act of Parliament passed in the 57th of George the Third. Their powers of raising capital had been modified, enlarged, and con firmed, under a subsequent Act. The company, by the first Act, were empowered to raise by shares 12,000/., and, if necessary, by . similar means, a further sum of 10,000/. The Act, in a subsequent clause, gave the Company authority to raise from 10,000/. to 40,000/., by way of mortgage of their tolls, instead of by calls on their share holders, if funds should be wanting for the more speedy completion of their works The clause giving this power provided that the persons to whom mortgages or assign ments were made should he equally entitled, one with ano ther, in proportion to the sums lent and advanced, with• out any preference by reason of priority of date of any such assignment or mortgage. The second act recited the first, and that part of the money had been raised by calls on the sub scribers, and that 40,000/. had been borrowed of the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, but that the Company had expended a larger sum than they were authorised, and were greatly in debt. It then empowered them to raise 150,0001. by the admission of new subscribers. The bill stated that the plaintiff, with a Mr. Dyson, had been employed, in 1818, as contractor, and that a sum of 7,600/. had been awarded as due to them from the Company. The debt had been reduced to 3,0301, by various payments, down to 1836. The plaintiff and Dyson had dis solved partnership in that year. The bill stated that Mr. George Palmer, one of the committee of management, Lau put in a claim as first mortgagee. The plaintiff offered to pay off what might be due upon this, if anything, and sought the usual foreclosure. His HoNoutt allowed the demurrer. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit to-day. VISIT OF GENERAL ESPARTERO TO WOOLWICH DOC G.- YARD.—At eleven o'clock, A.M., on Wednesday, General Espartero arrived at Woolwich, accompanied by several Spanish officers and members of his suite, and was joined by Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, C. 8., Lieut. •Colonel Colquhoun, and Lieut. Turner, Royal Horse Artillery, all of whom had served in Spain, and were known to General Espartero in that country. On entering the dock-yard, General Espartero was received by Captain Washington, of the Blazer steam-vessel, Commander Smith, and Mr. Oliver Lang, master-shipwright, who accompanied the Duke of Victory and the party 'over the principal places in the dock-yard. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ,OFF HUNGERFORD WHARF. —Wednesday an inquest was held befure Mr. Bed ford, the Deputy Coroner fur Westminster, at the Feathers, Hungerford market, respecting the death of Richard Wood, aged twenty-two, a lighterman, who lost his life under the following melancholy circumstances :—James Wood, of No. 6, Charles-court, Strand, deposed that the deceased was his brother. About half-past four o'clock yesterday morning, witness and the deceased left home fur the purpose of pro ceeding down the river with two empty barges. They had each got into their respective vessels, which were moored off Hungerford-stairs. The deceased had the hitcher, endea vouring to push his craft off into the stream, and whilst so engaged, he slipped and fell into the water. 'Witness ran along the steam-boat pier towards him, and distinctly heard bins cry out, " Oh, Jem, Jem, save me." When witness reached the spot he had disappeared. Every exertion was made with the drags and other things to recover the body, but it was not found until nine o'clock. The deceased was a sober steady young man, and highly respected by all who knew him. The Coroner having remarked on the melan• choly nature of the case, the jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." The notice by the Commissioners of the National Debt shows that the Government still adhere to the plan of devoting the greater part of the money at their disposal to the redemption of the deficiency bills. The fourth part of the sur plus which ,appeared last January, and which they are to employ between the 7th inst. and the sth of July, amounts to 839,026/. is.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSIO.V•HOUSE. A young man, named Robert M•LaPen. was brought before the Lori Mayor, charged under the following circumstances by the Solicitor to the Customs, a gentle man from whose office attended to prosecute : Wm. Deekford Gray, of No. 32, Fenchurch-street, merchant's clerk, statud that in December, 1840, he was clerk to Messrs. Hall, M.Garel, and Co. In Decem ber of that year he was directed to get cleared six cases of champagne wine, marked EL, M.G., and Co., by the Menai, from Calais, Lnd he directed the prisoner to do the business. After the champagne was cleared, wit• ness called for the prisoner's account, which was accord ingly handed to him, and amounted to 141. 9s. The duty charged was 121. 2s. 9d. Witness paid the amount to the prisoner from the money of Messrs Hall and Co Witness was afterwards called upon by Mr. Coucher, an officer of the Customs, for the duties, and he looked for and found the account. Mr. Ed. Coucher, a searcher of tha port of London, stated that he had been investigating certain vouchers of goods, and he called upon Messrs. Hall, to inquire about the duty paid on the 4th of avernber, 1840, upon six cases of wine, imported by the Menai, and cleared by the prisoner. The entry upon which the duty was paid was 71. 2s. 6d., and in the blue-book it was entered, in the writing of the prisoner, as follows: Menai, Dritisla ship, H M C, Is. 6d., Phillips a Calais 14 Prime—Six cases twenty gallons French wine, in common glass bottles, reported quarts, duty 71. 3s. 6d. 4th December, 1840. M. Heyward C. .Wm Dickson. The prisoner said there was a port entry, and he had the entry of it in his book. There was, he observed, no difficulty about it, he was quite satisfied. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday, but the Lord Mayor intimated his willingness to take bail for the prisoner's appearance to the amount of 200/. THE WILL OF THE LATE COUNTESS OF PORTMORE. —Probate of the will and two codicils of the Right Hon Frances Dowager Countess of Portmore, late of Hyde park • place, West, who died on the 20th March last, at her re sidence, Queen's-parade, Bath, aged sixty-eight, has just been proved by the executors, Mr. Frederick Waller, of Fleet-street, Mr. William Yool,of Conduit-street, Hanover square, and Mr. John Randall, of the Inner Temple Her Ladyship's own personal property was sworn under 20,0001. The will is dated March 24. 1841, and the first codicil De cember 16, 1841, signed "F. rortmore." Bequeaths nume rous small legacies and annuities :—Leaves to her executor, F. Waller, 500/., and legacies to his five children ; to her executor, W. Yool, 200/., and a legacy of 100/. to his wife; to her executor, J. Randall, 2001., and to his wife, 100/. SALE OF RARE AND COSTLY PRINTS BY REM BRANDT.—Thursday, a sale (commenced on Tuesday) of a rare collection of prints and etchings, by Rubens and Rem brandt, the property of the late Mr. A. Geddes, A.R.A., was continued at Messrs. Christie and Manson's rooms, King-street, St. James's. Some of the prints sold yesterday fetched extraordinary high prices : for instance, an etching of the " Three Trees," by Rembrandt, sold for 91. 10s. ; and a portrait of " Ephraim Bones," by the same artist, sold for the large sum of 15!. 10s. The sale, which will last four days, excites considerable interest, from the excellent character of the collection, comprising, in addition to the prints and etchings, some original paintings by Titian, Rubens, Rem brandt, &c., which are expected to fetch several thousand pounds. Mr. ROEBUCK said he presented himself to the House with great distrust of his own powers to express the reasons which would influence his vote. It appeared to him that all grand considerations of the questions before the House were merged in feelings of party ad personality. —( Great cheering.) It was said that it was something to be praised by a person himself deserving of praise.—( Cheers. ) The Hon. Gentleman who had last addressed the House had stated that his opposition was constitutional, and he had chosen for his model the Hon. Member for Montrose.—(Laughter.) But he would ask the House was this the time for such displays as the House had been favoured with ? Was this an occasion for the display of merely personal and party feeling? Not only was the quiet of Ireland concerned in the grant, but the quiet and good-will, and well-being of the people of Eng land, andeven, without exaggeration, he might say the quiet and peace of the world at large. It was because he viewed it in this light that he wished to ask the indulgence of the House for a few moments while he addressed himself to the immediate question before them. If that question had come now before the House for the first time, it would have probably assumed a different aspect; but he was not going then to allude to any party question. He mast, however, allude to the past and present circumstances of the two countries. When he looked to the state of Ireland, and the condition of its people, and the circumstances under which they now came to this vote, it did appear to him that it be hoved them to set their fellow-countrymen and their conri tuents an example. He was prepared to say, no matter what might be the consequences of his doing so, that, looking at this grant as it was new proposed, he was ready to vote for it, more particularly as it came from the Government. But he would go a step further, and say, that if the Right Hon. Ba. ronet had brought the grant forward for the first time, he would have seconded his motion. But it was a purely Pro testant Parliament in Ireland that first proposed the grant to Maynooth, and a purely Protestant Parliament afterwards re newed the vote. But fie wanted the House to see and acknow ledge the circumstances under which the grant was originally made. It was first made by a purely Protestant Parliament, in 1795, and at a time, too, when Protestants held in great fear their Roman Catholic brethren —at a time when a Roman Catholic was looked upon as an emissary from a Jacobite club at Paris. —( Hear, Hear.) In the hour of their tribulation and fear, their Protestant Parlia ment applied to the Roman Catholic body for assistance, and they conferred this grant upon them. Time went on and parties changed. Napoleon established Catholicism in France to preserve peace, but it was plain he had a design upon England, and Ireland was required to send her peasants and her good and valliant soldiers to assist in a fight which was going on between England and France. In 1808 the princi ple of the grant was again mooted and discussed in a Protes tant Parliament, and they added to the grant. The grant thus renewed was continued until the time of the Reform Act. Now, it might be said that all this was the doing of an aristo cratic Government—a Government which, it was notorious, had consulted its own convenience and its own peculiar designs and motives, and not right. But after 1832, the Parliament represented the great body of the Dissenting popu lation of the country, and from that time up to the present the grant had been continued if not sanctioned. What he said there, he wish‘d to say to his conatitnenta and the people at large, and be wcWd tell them, that having sanctioned the grant for twelve years, it was not right for them now to turn round, and tell them they were breaking through the principles of the Established Church. If the princi, , le in a religious point of view was good to the extent of 9,0001., it was equally good to the extent of 28.0001., and it was too hard for them to turn round now, and e ill upon Parliament to recede from that which they had hitherto sanctioned. He wished it was only just to say of the Irish Catholic clergy that they were ready to endure all the penalties of poverty for the sake of their flocks—that they would carry their faith from one end of the globe to the ether, and would cheerfully bear the burden with their fellow county) men. The present condition of Maynooth could not be continued—they must either increase the grant to Maynooth or abolish it altogether. He regretted the Right Hon. Baronet had not brought for ward a more comprehensive scheme—a great plan of acade mical education, making Maynooth such as Oxford and Cam bridge were, giving it the power of conferring degrees, and conferring on it all the immunities and privileges of an English University. The Right Hon. Gentleman in doing so might not have incurred more odium than be had by this measure, whilst he would have done ten times as much good. Two classes of persons opposed the grant, but they were of very different descriptions. They used arguments of a very different sort. One class he could understand, but the other he could not. He could very well appreciate the opposition of those who were against all church establishments, and aho advocated the voluntary system. They contended that the monster grievance of Ireland was the Established Church. Now, although giving every credit to the sincerity of the motives of these gentlemen, he must say that he did not agree with them. He viewed it as a contribution towards the teaching of the teachers of the Irish people. But what argument had the other class of persons who opposed it to advance ? They did not object to the teaching of Mahometans and Brahmins, but they objected to the payment of Roman Catholic priests. They consented to the endowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood in Ireland, in Malta, and in several other of the colonies, but they objected to it in Ireland because they wished to maintain a religious ascendancy there. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite upon one occasion said " that concession had reached its limits." He hoped that the Hon. Gentleman had profited by the lesson which experience had taught him. He considered this as the first great step to wards concession. All the great parties of the country are embarked in the same vessels, and in the same course, to make all necessary concessions to the people of Ireland. He wanted the people of Ireland to believe that this country was endeavouring to do justice to that unfortunate country. He did not expect any great result at first—he did not hope that peace would be established in that country im mediately, yet he did hope that ultimately all these benefits would be realised, and he hoped that the leaders of the Irish people would in consequence find that they had no longer a pliant people at their command that they could use for purposes of their own personal ambition. He looked upon this measure as the greatest act of the present time. It was of the greatest con sequence not to the people of Ireland only, but to the people of England. Let them refuse this measure and they would insult the people of Ireland. They had been told that night that the religion of Ireland was one of superstition—that the people were steeped in heresy—that their religion was not only super stitious, but was, in itself, an immoral superstition, and that they might as well endow a college of thieves and adulterers as endow a college of the Catholic Church. If they insulted the people of Ireland, that people would recollect it. It was on that ground that he should support the grant proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet. Allow this grant, and the people of Ireland would no longer become the tools of design ing demagogues, who wished to forward their ow n personal and pecuniary interests, and to minister to their own ambition. He was told that the objection to this grant was, that at the College of Maynooth the teaching was that of error ; and, therefore, it was nut expedient to support it ; but he thought a sufficient answer could be found to such an argument. After some further discussion the debate was adjourned till Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned till Monday. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.
