The House of Lords met at Five o'clock last evening, for the first time since the Easter recess. After the presentation of various petitions, Lord ASHBURTON rose, for the purpose of offering certain explanations on the subject of the Boundary Treaty which he had negotiated between this country and the United States. He had been accused by Lord PALMERSTON of sacrificing the Madawaska settlement. Madawaska was a narrow slip of land, about three miles long, and Lord PALMERSTON had himself off,•red to give it up to America. In fact, his (Lord ASFEBURTON'S) settlement was the more advantageous of the two, because he had preserved for this country the heights between the rivers St. John and St. Lawrence, the only important part of the territory. The Noble Lord also denied the statement of Lord JOHN IlussE,L, as to the instructions issued from the Colonial-office to Lord SYDENHAM, on the subject of these negotiations. The only negotiations that had been carried on had been between Mr. Fox and Mt. WEnsrEir, and they re lated solely to the disturbances which had taken place between the irregular troops of Marine and the British Feneibles of New Brunswick. The Companies' Clauses Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, the follow ing Bills were read a first time :—The Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill, the Companies' Clauses Consolidation Bill, and the Lands Clauses Consolidation Bill. Several of the reports of the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade were laid on the table. The Bastardy Bill was read a second time, and their L-.s.rdshipi adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. Donn moved that the report of the Board of TradL• against the Bill intended to be brought in by the Croydon Railway Company, to authorise the construc tion of a railway to Ashford, be referred back to the Board of Trade for reconFideration. The SPEAKER said that, before the Hon. Gentleman proceeded with his motion, the House should decide whether that motion could come on during the time of private business. After a short discussion as to the proper course to be adopted, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the lion. Member for Maidstone (Mr. Donn) be now heard. This notion, which was opposed by Sir GEO. CLERK, was, on a division, rejected, tha numbers being, for the motion, 78, against it, 123, majority against the mo tion, 43. Mr. HUME moved a new writ for Greenock, in the room of R. WALLACE, EN., who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. After the presentation of numerous petitions against any further grant to Maynooth. The House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of considering the Act of 40th GEo. 111., cap. 85, the Act establishing Maynooth College. Sir R. PEEL then rose and said, that he had declared last session that it was the intention of the Government to consider in a friendly spirit the state of the College of Maynooth, and, therefore, r.o one could complain that they had been taken by surprise by the motion which he was about to propose. He was not unprepared for the demonstrations against his proposition which had taken place, but he was determined that the opponents of the plan should hare no cause to complain that they had been taken by surprise, therefore, he had in the last session declared his intention of proposing an additional grant to Maynooth. With regard to Maynooth the Government might have either continued the present system or discontinued the grant, and repudiate the institution altogether, or have come forward in a friendly spirit and offer to improve the present system of Roman Catholic education. This latter course was the one he proposed to adopt, net by attempting any in terference with the Roman Catholic creed, but, by a more liberal grant, to improve the system and elevate the tone of Catholic education in Ireland. The present grant of 9,0001. a-year was just enough to paralyse all voluntary exertions while the vote }itself was ineffectual and inefficient. The pre sent grant was as great a violation of principle as that which he proposed. But that College had been adopted and sanctioned by repeated acts of the Legislature, both before and since the Union. The Lord Chancellor and the Judges had been appointed visitors of it—they bad repealed the statute of Mortmain in its favour—they had enabled the trustees to erect a chapel—and thus the vio lation of principle involved in the matter was complete ; yet this grant was so limited, that the professors re ceived only 1201. a year each ; and although learned and pious men might, by a zeal for their religion, be induced to undertake these offices for such a paltry pit tance, yet they could not expect constantly to secure the services of efficient professors for such a miserable salary. The building itself was like a dilapidated barracks ; there was not space to accommodate all the students, 440 in number, with a separate room, and of those stu dents 230 were free students, whom the State professes to maintain, and for whose maintenance they allowed 234 a year each. They thus violated the principle but gained nothing by it, and surely if they did violate it, it was better to do it in such a manner as to secure the services of men of the very highest attainments. So in efficient was the sum granted at present that the Col lege was in debt, and they were obliged to grant an ad ditional vacation of two months to the pupils in order to save expense. An absolute discontinuance of the vote would be preferable to the course now pursued. But it should be recollected that ever since 1795, the year in which Maynooth was founded, it had been supported by the State, and that in the reign of GEORGE 111., while Mr. PITT was Prime Minister, and the Parlia ment was exclusively Protestant—and that exclusively Protestant Parliament consented to this supposed viola tion of principle without a dissentient voice. On two distinct occasions the Imperial Parliament had increased the vote to Maynooth, viz. in 1807, and in 1808.; and Mr. PERCIVAL, on that occasion, implied that if a fur ther increase should be necessary, he would not be un willing to snake it. In 1813, a further addition was made ; and this state of things having existed for half a century, would it be prudent or proper to abandon the connexion on the ground of religious scruples? It would be acting contrary to the pure precepts of religion to do it ; and if now they adopted that principle they must carry it out with regard to the Presbyterians, and with regard to the various sects in the colonies, and they must also refuse to pay Roman Catholic chaplains for prisons and workhouses. There was but one other course left—that of improving the condition of the institution, and that course he was prepared to take. He would not interfere with the course of education there, which would be poisoning all the good that their liberality would effect, but he would treat the Roman Catholic clergy in a really generous spirit. He proposed to incorporate the trustees, and to enable them to hold land to the amount of 3,000 L, in stead of 1,0001. only as at present. At present the stipend held by the professors did not exceed 1221. a year. Instead of defining what should be the amount of stipend to such professors, he proposed to al locate to the trustees of Maynooth certain sums, which should be placed at the discretion of the trustees, from which such salaries should be drawn-6,0001. or 7,0001. a year ; the salaries for professors to vary from 250/. to 300/. I n order to increase the number of profes sors it w ou ld be necessary to make an additional pro vision. li e pro Posed, therttore, that a sum not exceed ing 6,0001. a year should be gi ven to the trustees, in order to make a pr evisio n fo r the president, profes sors, librarian, and principal officers of the college. Then with regard to the students, there are in all four hundred and thirty students in the College, divided into thrso three clasps:—the Dunboyne, senior, the Junior ela::.sea.

All the other observations are made at noon. repaired and enlarged. The whole grant would be for a sum not exceeding 30,0001. He also proposed that the Board of Works should undertake to keep the building in repair, and that suitable apart ments should be provided for the president, professors and students. He did not propose to give the visitors greater powers, but he proposed to increase their number to five, and to make the visitation annual, instead of triennial, giving the Lord-Lieutenant power te order a visitation whenever he may see fit, The visits would have no reference to doctrine er dc,s cipline. He could assure the House that the measure had not been brought forward without consultation with those who might be supposed to be acquainted with the feelings of the Catholic body, and he believed that it would meet with the general appro bation of the Catholic hi-rarchy, The measure itself was nothing more than a liberal fulfilment of those obligations into which the Legislature of the country had entered with the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Ile deprecated any attempt at making the grant a pretext for intermeddling with the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, as ungracious, unjust, and uncalled for. He thought they would be amply remedied by the im proved education among the Roman Catholic ecclesias tics of Ireland, and he believed that he violated none of ;he obligations of honour and good faith in promoting improvement in the character of those who were en trusted with the education of those who were to be spiritual guides and instructors of millions of our fellow countrymen. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the law relating to the college of May nooth. Sir R. H. Iscus in rising to oppose the motion remarked upon the single fact, that all the cheering, during the Right Hon. Baronet's speech, had come from the Oppo sition side of the House, while the usual supporters of the Government remained silent. Although he would have offered little objection to the con tinuance of the usual grant, yet he thought even that uncalled for. There was no compact either expressed or implied by which Parliament was bound to uphold the College of Maynooth. The mea sure was wrong in principle, he considered, and as a matter of expediency he felt convinced it would fail. He regretted that Sir R. PEEL had not stated his views on the subject in 1840. For himself, taking his stand on Protestant Christianity, he should certainly move a negative on the question. Captain B. OsilonsE approved of the increased grant, and hoped the Right lion. Baronet would not be de terred from his principles by the No Popt‘ry cry, but he thought that instead of the money coming out of the pockets of the people, it ought to come out of the funds of the Established Church. Mr. GREGORY opposed the increase of the grant. Lord F. EGERTON, although deeply sensible of the fact that his vote that night would be at variance with the views and opinions of those who supported him—of those, the representing of whom he always considered the greatest honour he could obtain— yet &it comptlied to vote for the Ministerial proposi tion, which he considered a just and reasonable one. Mr. 'WARD complimented the Minister on the manner in which he had introduced this measure, which should have his most cordial support ; although, at the proper time, he should propose that the money be taken from the revenues of the Mil Church, instead of from the pockets of the people. Mr. LAW opposed the Government proposition. The House was afterwards addressed by Mr. BELLEW, Lord SANDON, Mr. PLUMPTRE, Lord JCUN RUSSELL, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Colonel SIBTRORP, Mr. SUEIL, Mr T. DuNcomnu, and other Hon. Mem bers ; and, after a lengthy discussion, the resolution of Sir R. PEEL was carried by a majority of 102. The House adjourned at 20 minutes to Two o'clock. We hail with unqualified delight the debate on the great question which came befere the House of Commons last night, and the large mejority of 102 in favour of justice to Roman Catholics. It is the first great step t') reconcile religious and political dif. ferences between two integral portions of the British empire ; it will pave the way for future deeds of charity, and, we trust, convince the various sects of religionists in this country, that peace and brotherly love, and forgiveness and charity, are not only more pleasing in the sight of the CREATOR, but are the only certain proofs that the truths ( f the Gospel have produced their just effects. We need not tell our readers that the Catholic religion, and its off• shoot, Puseyism, have not had a more deter mined enemy than this journal. We have uni formly opposed the tenets of the former, and treated as they deserve those traitors to Protestantism, who, under some hypocritical pretence, would remain in the Reformed Church, enjoy the loaves and the fishes, and at the same time profess, at first secretly, and then openly, the very doc trines which they denounced only a few years ago as damnable and idolatrous. But because the Catholic religion is considered defective and injurious in many respects, that is no reason why all its professors are to be driven beyond the pale of society, treated as worse than infidels, and made the bitterest enemies of the Esta blished Church. The professors of no religion believe that others of a different persuasion are in the right path, but what madness would it be for the one to denounce the other as visionaries, enthusiasts, and men ignorant of the truth, because they choose a different road to heaven. The main point, however, is to ascertain what is to be gained by persecution. That system has been tried towards Ireland for three hundred years; it has utterly failed. To continue in the same course is tempting PROVIDENCE. It may, nay will, lead to civil war, the most horrible of all wars, and only make the wall between England and Ireland higher, the people more hostile to each other, and leave religious pre judices stronger than ever. History, which is said to be the great mistress of wisdom, has taught English Protestants this lesson ; and woe be to those who, in these days, would renew contests which stained even the middle ages, and exhibited man as more savage, more degraded, and less human that the beasts that perish. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL was admirable, and it was echoed in a g,nerous spirit by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Even those who opposed the Christian scheme, opposed it with mildness, and we arc willing to believe solely because they considered it their duty as Protestants. But these prejudices in time will give way. Justice will yet be done to Ireland and the present House of Com mons will have the honour and the glory of sealing for ever the anion between two powerful nations. The conclusion of Mr. SHEIL'S speech was also excellent. He will be imitated by his eloquent countrymen, and Sir ROBERT PEEL every day will only be more encouraged to go on in the glorious path on which he has entered. " Assist," said Mr. SHEIL, " the designs of PROVIDENCE, cure the misrule of centuries, pour balm into the nation's heart to efface pernicious recollections, awaken it to salubrious hopes, banish a splendid phantom, and sub stitute in its place an attainable reality.—(Hear, hear.) To do justice to Ireland, and to teach Ireland to appre ciate the justice of England, these are the objects worthy of a statesman conscious of the great duty imposed upon him, and of the capacity which Gon has given him ; and I should turn with a disdainful smile from those who tell me that the maxims of government are to be found in the dogmas of a divine, whose principles, if they are carried out, would lead to the restoration of that fatal ascendancy of which we have had experience ; and I should be pre pared to fling the seals of office to the winds rather than be retarded in the completion of that great work which, laying the foundations in honour and justice, I invite him to the consummation of." It is gratifying to find, on looking to the list of the di vision. that the Liberals nobly performed their part, not fewer than 107 voting with Sir ROBERT PEEL. This is honourable to their patriotic spirits, and sheds a lustre on the principles of men who will not swerve from their duty to crush their political opponent. It forms a noble contrast to that of the old Tory faction, who considered place not too dear at any price, not even at the expense of honour and principle. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received. According to some of those in the pay of the Government, the plot for which twenty-six persons had been arrested on the previous day was of a most serious character, thougb,•however, the prisoners are of the lowest class of society. It was said their plan was an imitation of the Cato-street conspiracy—to murder all the Ministers, and then compel the QUEEN to adopt their policy. A letter had been discovered which revealed the scheme, said to be of a most revolutionary character. The Eco dcl Comniercio publishes the following Carlist placard, posted at Miranda:—" Attention! Royalists! The day of your triumph is at hand! Success to our companions in Catalonia! We shall soon imitate their boldness and their firmness. War to all liberal Jews without dis tinction. Live religion. Live Bilmaseda." - The Three per Cents. c!oed at 33 15-16 for cash, and 34i at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at 251 for cash, and 25 11-16 at GO days ; and the Debt without interest, at 8 / 1, at 60 days, with premium. The intelligence from Paris possesses considerable in terest. The strength and courage of the Ministry are reviving. M. qtrIZOT made a b:)1(1 stand on the Sardi nian treaty, and did not shrink from the ungracious task of dethanding . a vote fur arming the fortifications of Paris, and suceetb has hitherto atteuded both rue - sures. On Wednesday afternoon the Sardinian treaty was adopted in the Chamber of Deputies, by a majority of 206 to 32, the Opposition having preferred secession to defeat. In the Committees 0.1/Poirtlr: t.'Lmine the estimates for tie foiltlt;ations of Paris, the Ministers tdtO Were successful. Seven of the Committees were favourable to the measure, and only two against it. M. TRIERS absented himself on the o.e.ta , ;c!r, 13 1 .1 he would have acted yr , .rn hot oti:-AblY, had he manfully sup portrd ttlYeirie which for certain purposes he advocated while in power, and which he and the SOVEREIGN, in fact, carried through the Chamber. The works now, ur.a, bombs, shells, bastions, couriterlearps, ditthts-, and all, will be ultimately cotrpitttd, according to the original plan, and something more. The intelligence from Switzvrland is to the 30th ult., and, on the whole, more satisfactory. The Governor of Berne was actively engaged in restraining tilt V - oliinteers enrolled for the invasion of Lucerne, while, according to accounts from Basle Campagne, preparations for the in vasion were still going on. It was said that desertion from the Lucerne troops had been become frequent, and hopes were entertained that the Executive and the Je suits—the cause of all the mischief—would find it more prudent to yield than risk a civil war. The following is the reply made by M. MoussoN, President of the Extraordinary Diet, held at Zurich, to the note of M. GUIZOT, addressed through the Swiss Chargé d'Affaires at Paris : TO M. DE TSCHANN, CHARGE D'AFFAIRES ON THE SWISS CONFEDE: RATION AT PARIS. " Zurich, March 17 " Monsieur,—ln a special audience demanded by . the Count de Pontois, the Ambassador of the King of the French, his Excel lency hat ded to me a copy of a dispatch, dated March 3, which he had just received from M. Guizot, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. In performing his mission, his Excellency declared that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to interfere in the domestic affairs of the Confederation, and that the present atop was dictated solely by the ancient friend. ship of France for Switzerland, and by a sincere interest for her independence and happiness. I thanked the Count de Pontois for this declaration, adding, that it was in that light I regarded his Excellency's communication. However, Monsieur, I consider myself called on, as President of the Diet, to transmit to yen some observations, to which I beg leave to call your attention. When the dispatch of the Minister for Fo reigh Affairs was written, the instructions of the States en the question of the free corps—en the subject of which it speaks parti cularly—as well as the probability of a solution in conformity with the interests of Switzerland, could be known from the Ambassa dor. The communication of this dispatch, at the very moment when the Diet was on the point of taking into consideration mea sures relative to the free corps, was calculated to arouse the national susceptibilities, and this result was so much the more natural, that some of the expressions which M. Guizot employed seemed rather those of an injunction, than of mere friendly advice. I shall not, however, point out the passages that have given room for such an interpretation, since I admit it as certain, as his Excel lency the Ambassador declared to me, that it never entered into the idea of the Minister for Foreign Affairs to hurt the feeling of national independence —a feeling which France possesses in an eminent degree, and which she respects amongst other nations. If the troubles which have lately afflicted Switzerland have attracted the attention of Europe, it is just to observe that they have never in the slightest degree affected her international intercourse. The Confederation, I am convinced, will avoid with care all that cou d compromise that intercourse ; but it also considers that its right as an independent State to regulate its domestic affairs cannot be the subject of the slightest doubt. You are authorised to read this dispatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to leave him a copy of it. " H. MOUSSON, President of the Diet."

It is soitiewhat difficult to conceive upon what principle it is that the +Government of. India is about to increase the du ties upon, i:nports, cotton twist and thread excepted. Still we understand, by the private letters which have come to hand by the Overland Mail from Bombay, that this is really in contemplation. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce have been most active to prevent so absurd a proceeding; and no doubt the Committee of the East India and China Associa tion here will very soon meet, to memorialise the India Board upon the subject. The course of policy of the Legislative Council is considered the more extraordinary by our mer chants, as it is so contrary to the movements of the home Government with respect to the tariff of Great Britain. The announcement has taken most people by surprise, and no doubt a vigorous opposition will be given to it here as well as in India. The intention is also most inopportune, as commerce, after a period of very considerable depression, had began to show symptoms of a rally, which had been hailed with much satisfaction by all parties interested in trade. We hear that the treasury at Calcutta is somewhat embarrassed. It certainly is not the right way to improve the finances of India by placing restrictions on its trade. The majority obtained by the Ministers on the Maynooth grant has been a topic of conversation. Few politicians had thought it would have been so large. A good deal of interest is felt as to the result of the debate in the Hoge of Commons to-night on the subject of the Oregon territory. We understand that the Caledonian steamer is detained for the purpose of carrying out the opinions of Ministers upon this subject, the debate upon it being fixed for this evening. The steamer will be kept back to receive letters posted to-night, as well as by the early mail to Liverpool to-morrow morning. Stocks are rather flatter this morning, notwithstanding the Ministerial majority. Consols have been 99 1 4 % for pre sent transfer; and 99% % for Account. Exchequer-bilis have also receded a little, being 61s. to 595. premium. Bank Stock for Account is 215%. The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 29% 3 %, and the Passive 7% 14 : coming rather better from Paris they have improved a trifle here also. Mexican are quiet at 35%; Colombian are 1574 to 16 ; and Brazilian 88; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63% to 63%. An extraordinary degree of activity continues to pervade the market for Railway Shares, the Scotch and Irish lines being especially buoyant, and the latter principally , on the statement that the Queen will visit the Emerald Isle this summer. The French lines are also buoyant. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per cent.

Cc. - - FORTUNATE RECOVERY or 4001.—Yesterday an elderlygentleman, named Hamilton, arrived by one of the trains at the terminus of the Great Western Railroad, at Paddington, from Bristol, and on his arrival he hired a cab to convey him and his baggage to Guildford-street, Russell.square, where he alighted, and the luggage was removed into the house. In about ten minutes afterwards Mr. Hamilton discovered that he had left his poclret book in the cab, containing Bank of England notes to the amount of 4001. Mr. Hamilton, accompanied by his friend, immediately started off in pursuit of the cabman, and for that purpose proceeded to the nearest cabstand in (fray's-inia.lane, when to their gratis ileation they found the cab and driver. On opening the door the book was found in a corner of the seat where Mr. Hamilton bad placed it. The notes and the bills were all safe. FALL FROM A WiNnow.—Yesterday afternoon an accident occurred to a child named Caroline Roach, aged three years, whose parents reside at No. 3, Stonecutters:yard, Kent.. street, Borough. The mother proceeded up stairs to the second floor back, for the pu r p ose of snaking the bed, and when she en. tered the room she placed t h e child on a chair at the window, w bleb was open, and whilst h er b ack was turned the child fell headfore. most into the yard, wher e b y she received an extensive fracture of the skull, and such other injuries, that it was deemed necessary to remove her to Guy's Nost.ital, but no hopes ate entertained of her recovery, MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

Although the arrivals of English Wheat up to this market during the present week have been scanty, the supply of that Grain on offer, left over from Monday and Wednesday, was rather extensive. Selected parcels sup ported those days rates, but all other kinds were a mere drug. Holders of Foreign Wheat were again firm, and ob tained late figures in the few sales concluded. In bonded Corn we heard of no transactions. Barley and Malt were in limited supply, and heavy request, at previous currencies.

Although we had only a moderate ly of Beasts on sale, the time of year considered, the trade was exceedingly dull, at barely Monday's quotations. There were in the market 35 Oxen and Cows from Holland, and 90 Scots from Scotland. The numbers of Sheep were again limited ; prime old Downs sold steadily, other kinds of Sheep slowly, at about stationary prices. From the Isle of Y 100 Lambs came fresh to hand. On the whole the Lamb trade was steady, at full cur rencies. There was very little inquiry for Veal, and prices were not supported. The Pork trade was heavy, at late rates.
