The House adjourned at Nine o'Clock. In the' House of Commons the Earl of MAREn moved the second reading of the Brighton and Chi chester Railway_ Bill._ _Colmel. WYNDHAM and the Earl of ARUNDEL opposed the motion. A divisi9n took place, when the segOnd.reacling was carried by a majority of 51. The Stratford and Thames Junction Railway Bill, the Cym Celyn and Blaina Iron Company Bill, and the. Colchester and Harwich Railway Bill, were read a second time. On the motionthat the London and South-Western Railway Bill be read a second time, Mr. WALLACE objected to several clauses of the Bill, as they en abled the Company to act as wharfingers, custom house-agents, steam-boat proprietors, and in •severat other capacities inconsistent with their duty as rail way proprietors. . . Mr. LABOUCIIERE thought the objection of Mr. WALLACE WaS well founded, but it might be taken into consideration on bringing up the Report. Mr. GLADSTONE concurred with the Hon. Member, and the Bill was read a second time. Mr. M. MILNES gave notice of an amendment on Lord PALMERSTON'S motion relative to the slave trade, to the effect that the mutual right of search was only temporary, and should be at all times under the con trol of the Governments who Were parties to the treaty. Some other notices of motion were given, and ques tions put to the Government, which are briefly stated in the Parliamentary report. Colonel Wow) moved for leave to bring a I3ilr to exempt lime from, toll conveyed on zany turnpike road in Wales. Mr, Hum...a-opposed the motion ; the Bill was intended only "for the landlords, and he did not' see why they should enjoy such an exemption. Sir CUARLES MORGAN was also opposed to the mea sure. Sir James GRAHAM said he was decidedly opposed to the exemption, but he would not oppose the introduction of the Bill, as he thought it ought to printed and sent down to Wales, in order that ,the opinion of the people in that quarter might be ascer tained. On a division leave was given to bring in the Bill by a majority of 26. Mr. Iftrrr moved that corn imported from British possessions in South Africa, India, and Australasia, be subjected to the same duty as that paid on corn imported from Canada. The motion was rejected by a majority of 70. Sir G. STAUNTON then made a motion for granting a pension to the survivors of the late Doctor MORRISON, for his services in China. After a lengthened discussion, the motion was with drawn, and the House adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. The Easter holidays commence next week, Par liament of course, is to be adjourned for the usual period, great numbers of Members are already on the wing to enjoy themselves at their country seats, and the public may therefore justly ask what their repre sentatives have done during two months. Questions of vast importance. should have been brought before either the lazy House of Lords or the talking House of Commons ; but has there been one measure *in which the people can take the slightest interest in troduced into either' House ? While Ireland is groaning under oppressions which no other portion of the United Kingdom submitted to, which England and Scotland resisted as one man, and which are a disgrace to the age, the "strong Ministry," it is true, adopt strong•measures; but they are the measures of the despot - Troops are scat into Ireland, the best friends of the country".(for. O ' CONNELL, with all his faul4,,is her - truest friend) are persecuted, jurieS are packed; newspaper reporters are- bribed, and every scheme is adopted by the High Church party to irritate that country against the Government. N o remedy is proposed for the evils which afflict Ireland, and which are unparalleled in any European State. The Tories rejoice in punishment, and Ireland knows it well. But what have the Government,' during these to months, done for England ? They have reduced the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. They have robbed certainiundliolders of a portion of their annuities. Have they .made any compensation ? Have they proposed any measure which can alleviate the burdens of the people ? The enormous duties on sugar, and corn, and tea, the articles chiefly consumed by the working classes, are to re main as they are, and while the poor are starving, the .country gentlemen retire to their seats to enjoy the amusements of hunting and racing. A sys!eal like this cannot prosper; and we are glad to find that even one of the Tory party is so con vinced of the iniquity of the Government that he shakes off the dust of his feet against them. Last session was emphatically called the "Do-nothing session," and the Government were named the " Do-nothing Government.? Have they improved ? Was there ever such a miserable exhibition made by a weak Government as has been made under that Go vernment which boasts of the support of the Churct), 60,iv q ,t ~dap , the intelligenceof the country? --ItFe_ii,,4 7. ..s4at,measure of the slightest interest. f .

Every measure M. GUIZOT has proposed—and his reforms are not feiv—has been triumphantly carried through both Chambers. He his defeated every opposition to his policy, he has also carried with him the almost universal voice of his country; while Sir ROBERT PEEL can carry nothing, can do nothing, and remains like the ass between two loads of hay. A. Ministry like this cannot last. . The English are an active people. They will go a-head, and cast off allegiance to a Government which seems determined to stand still, and, what is of more , importance, has noTfixed principles of action. One .part of the Cabinet is hostile to the other. STANLEY, and Rirort, awl GRAHAM, thwart EBEL in all his move ments ; and the Prime Minister of England, at the present moment, is possibly the most helpless being in the United Kingdom. The Whigs did something —they introduced and carried many useful mea sures ; they unfortunately forgot the interests of their best supporters; but, after all, they were an active, stirring race ; they kept the public mind alive to questions of great national iniportance, and were only deterred by the House of Lords from doing justice to the country. What has Sir ROBERT PEEL, with both Houses at his back, done ? He has reduced the duty on pickles, and corned beef, and live bullocks, and every grievance of which the country complains is yet to be redressed ! THE BOURSE-MONDAY, MARCH 25.

It may seem ungenerous that we should derive, enjoyment from the manifest afflictions of our Contemporaries, but we must honestly confess that the groans of this desperate Tory partisan are " music to our souls." Not a wail he utters, but it comforts us like a cordial, and the deeper his sorrows the greater is our , sense of satisfaction. At the present moment he is plunged " full fathom five" in an abyss of despondency, and all because Sir Roszwr PEEL has intimated by letter to the Irish Go vernment that no promotions are in future to be made in the spotless Protestant Establishment of that country, unless to such of the clergy as shall consent to support the national system of education, and place their schools under the control of the National Board! Though the Standard, with a considerate regard for our Contem porary's anguished sensibilities, endeavours to comfort him by the assurance that the Premier has intimated nothing of the sort to the Irish Government, yet the Mail, like RACHEL, " refuseth to be comforted," and insists on the strict truth of its statement in the follow ing impressive spirit :—" We repeat, in the most em phatic terms of which language is capable, that such a communication as that we have mentioned, has been made within the last month, and that a deter mination of acting upon that despotic declaration has been subsequently announced." As if this were not emphatic enough, our Contemporary adds :—" Every word of our statement is strictly and accurately true ; and, alas, there is much more that we might have said, but which, in the_ exercise of a fallible discretion, we deemed it a duty to reserve." How much meaning is there in that one little - touching monosyllable " alas r What a tale of sorrow does it not unfold I Then, how signi ficant are the words, " there is intich more that we might have said!" The Mail has evidently not yet disburthened himself of half his griefs; grave causes for despondency still remain shut up in the sanctuary of his own breast; and there, no doubt, they will remain until he can find heart enough to reveal them to a sympathising public. It is an inexpressible comfort to us thus to learn, on his own explicit declaration, that our Contemporary has ..good grounds for sorrowing. We derive a wonderful encouragement from the spectacle of his tears, know ing, as we do, that they fl ow ' from no worthier , cause than the ' " heaiy blow and , great dis couragement " dealt by Sir ROBERT PEEL to Protetst i ant intolerance in Irel an d. If it rea ll y b e t rue , as h e Mail so confidently i ns i s t s , th a t th e P rem i er h as coin to the determination of promoting no more bi g ots in lw Irish Church, h e h as t a k en -by far the wisest ep that either he . or any of ,his. colleagues have to en since their entrance upon office. • To show favour! to such of the clergy only as shall "consent to support !the national system of education," is to reward4he liblral and the meritorious, to-place a check on the arrogance and assumption of priesteraft, and, by so doing, to lay Ithe foundation of a sound, tolerant, practical, educational iiys tem in Ireland. Protestant and Catholic have too long been instructed apart from each other ; they have too long been taught to regard each other with feelings of disttust and jealousy—Sust as if both were not members of the great Christian community ; .and any attempt, on the part of Sir R )BERT PEEL, to. do away with this line of demarcation, to repress this odious spirit of party, to ; in trCduce more charitable feelings, and set the warm springs of sympathy flowing in a fuller and stronger stream—any such attempt as this, we say, deserves the approbation and, support of every honest and enlightened man .in the kingdom.. It is much to the credit of the late Government . that they were the first to project this -improvement in the Irish system of education, and - we do hope to see it actively and ener getically, followed up by the present Ministry, for: it is a reform that 'cannot fail to bring blessings in its train, and tend greatly—and this at no distant period—to put a stop to those party strifes, those unworthy feelings of estrangement between Catholic and Protestant, that have so long been the curse of the sister country. We are, .however, by no means so firmly persuaded as is the Dublin Evening Mail, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has come to the determination to prbmote no Trisb, clergymen but such as will support the national system of education. We can only hope that that is true, which our Contemporary broadly de clares to be a fact that admits of not a shadow of doubt. The accounts from Madrid, which are of the 19th inst., are of the same frightful character. The journals in one column describe, the movements of the Court at Aranjuez, and. in another the wholesale murders com mitted in the provinces. It appears that not less than thirty-five persons hare been shot for the insurrection against a despotic . Government at 'Alicant, and sixty five more are doomed to the same fate, without the semi-, blance of a trial. RoNcAu remained inactive be l fore Carthagena, for the want, it is said, of heavy artillery.- But with that, he can disPense. hai - only to bribe some half a dozen of renegade Spaniards, , as at Alidant, who will betray their nearest friends,• and make him master of the place. France and 'England, who could, check such scenes of hOrror, and who have so often in-. terfered for political purposes, incur a heavy responSibi lity by their cold-blooded indifference towards the fate of the unhappy victims. The Paris Monit e ur of Monday publishes the folloiving telegraphic dispatch from Africa:— " GENERAL DE DAR TO . THE ZILNpTER OF WAR. ' ' " ALGIERS , 20T11. On the 4th the Duke d'Aumale entered Biskara Without striking a blow, and was well received in the place. The 'villages of the .Ziban followed the exaMple of that anal' . capital. . : . . .; "The Prince was on the Bth at Sidi Okba, a day's march $o theTsouth of Bi4kara. • The chiefs of the wandering tribes had all repaired to 'his camp. .

Khaliph of Abd-el-Kader, abandoned by all - his folloNters, had lied in the direction of Mount Aures. _ . . • ""The sanatory condition of the troops is excellent;' the Princes are in good health." Another telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne announees the arrival of Queen CHRISTINA at Aranjuez, on the 21st, where great rejoicing took place. The Mule of Bayonne furnishes the following intelligence, which forms a sad contrast to the scenes going: on at Court. "Four of the persons who were condenined to death at Barcelona, on the 17th, on a charge of conspiracy, *ere 'shot on the. Bth. One was a notary; another'was orie, of the chifs of the last insurrectionary movement at Bar celona, and the other two were perions in trade. Two of the females who were arrested on the same charge have been tried, mid sentenced one to six years, and the other to two years' imprisonment. M. BERRYER took his seat in the Chamber of Depu ties on Monday:. No business of the slightest intrest was =transacted in either Chamber on that day. The funds were a shade lower, the Three per Cents. having closed at 83f. 5c., and the Fives at 122 f. 45c. The fol lowing are additional extracts from'the papers : "A Madrid journal having stated that M. Bannon, who was decapitated by order of the Emperor of Morocco, was the representative of Messrs. Salavy and Co., of Marseilles, th ose gentlemen have addressed a letter to the Marseilles journals, in which they say : ", M. Victor Darmon was one of our correspondents, but neither he nor any other person was our representative at Morocco. He was established' at Casablanca, where he ful filled the functions of Spanish Consular agent. It app ears that his enemie s h a d injured him with the Emperor of Mo rocco, as he was forced to leave Casablanca for Mazaga, and remain there until further orders. It was there that he was beheaded on January 25th by the' Emperor's direction, with out any one's being able to make out up to the present day the' cause of this severity." The Post-Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, contains the fol lowinerom Wilna:— " In order to avoid giving to the Government pretexts-fbr adopting vigorous measures against th e J ews , th e R a bbi ns o f the frontier Governments have put up a notice, declaring fhat every Jew engaged in smuggling should bnread out of syna gogue.

A raffianly-looking fellow, named Thompson, without jacket or vest, and with other garments indecently ragged, was charged with violently assaulting the potman at the Sun public-house, Islington, and police-constable 90 N. The prisoner went into the Sun last night and asked for some drink, on which the landlady, seeing he was already con siderably under the influence of liquor, very properly refused to serve him. He then tossed down sixpence on the bar and asked for" six-pennorth of brandy and water." This, too, was refused, and becoming insolent he was desired to leave the house. The prisoner refused, and when the potman at-- tempted to expel him he attacked him with great violence. The policeman was then called in but the prisoner "pitched into' him too, and strove to throw him on the flags •, he was at length with much difficulty secured and removed to the station, using the most obscene and blasphemous language all the way thither. - The 'prisoner said he had been four years on board the Phoenix man-of-war, Captain Richardson, master; he was subsequently ayear on board a collier, plying between London and Neweastle. Mr. COMBE observed, that such a strong able fellow ought to engage in some useful employment, and not be wandering about the streets. The fellow,. in a very artful manner, referred to the de pressed state of the skipping service, and said there were 400 able-bodied seamen out, of employment in the neighbourhood of London. From the evidence of Waddington, the gaoler, a very shrewd officer, arid the evidence of other constables, it appeared that the prisoner is nothing more nor less than a common im poster, and derives a livelihood from "cadging.'-' He is a very sturdy beggar, and if he meets females alone, - generally succeeds an extorting money, from their fears. He was never at sea, and, when questioned by the Magistrate, showed his utter ignorance of nautical affairs. Mr. COMIiE seht him to prison for seven days. UNION H ALL.-(THIS DAY.) Edwin Brown, a decent-looking man, was charged' frith - stealing a piece of cotton goods from the shop-door of Mr. Gelks, linen-draper, High-street, Southwark. • The prisoner was observed to go up to the shop door and take the piece of cotton, with which he ran off, and being pursued was taken. Mr. COITLNGIIAM made some strong obsetvations on the practice of tradesmen placing their goods in such exposed situations outside their shop doors' as to be a very great temptation to distressed persons. The complainant said that tradesmen must shut up if they were•not permitted to expose their goods, and he added that the articlein question was fastened in such a way as to render it difficult for a person to take it down. - The prisoner said that he was a sailor, but that having met with a serious accident in falling down the hatchway of his ship he was unable to go to sea again. The. MAGISTRATE committed him for one month. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. . (THIS DAY•) A person in male attire, about twenty-five years of age, of feminine appearance and voice, and wearing the hair long, curled, and turned back in female style, who gave the name of Timothy Bowen, was charged with begging on the previous night in Oxford-street, and on being taken into custody assaulting police-constable No. 109 of the C division. It appears that her practice was to enter publio-honses and solicit alms, stating that she was a female, who, to escape the persecutions of some of her relations, had been obliged to disguise herself as a man. , Inspector -Froud, of the C division, said that on the girl being brought to the statiOn-house he was so much under the impression that the sex of the offender was of the feminine gender, that the party was purposely locked in a separate cell for the night. The prisoner indignantly declared that she was net a woman. She was committed to Westriiinster Bridewell to hard labour for a month, where, of course, `his or her sex will be ascertained. MARKET, NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY, The supply of English Wheat was tolerably good, but of very middling quality. For all descriptions the demand was inactive, at barely Monday's prices. So little was doing in Foreign Wheat, both free and in bond, that the rates were almost nominal.

The accounts from New York,which we' only briefly noticed yesterday, give the following interesting commercial infor mation "The immense receipts at our Custom-house for duties on imports, and the great value of the merchandise that pro duces this revenue, is of the utmost importance to the Go-' vernment and the community. The quantities of foreign goods daily arriving in this country will soon create a surplus stack, and fill the market with supplies greater than the heaviest trade anticipated can reduce. " The receipts at this port for Customs for'the past week amounted to 493,587 dollars. This is only a little more than half those of the week previous. The cause of this falling oil' was the non-arrival of packets, not one coining in during the week. "REVENUE FROM CUSTOMS AT THIS FORT. Total receipts for January, 1844 1,874,682 dole, Do. from Ist to 24th February - 2,016,587 Estimated receipts from Feb. 24 to March 1 507,000 Total receipts for the first two months in 1844 4,398,269 " This averages more than two millions a month. It is estimated that the average duty paid on the imports of this year will not vary much from 33 per cent., which will make the value -of the imports up to the Ist March, a little more than 13 million dollars. This is only the value of dutyable imports: Merchandise entered free will swell this amount very. much. Within the time this revenue has been accumulating there • have been two arrivals from Canton—the cargoes of which were very valu able, and composed principally of free goods. There have also been several arrivals from South America and the West India Islands, from which places a large amount of merchandise is imported, paying no duty.. The value of all these cargoes, added' to those paying duties, -will increase the amount of importations within the past month to nee 7y 20,000,000 dollars." The facts here stated should inspire, caution'among Our shippers. The Commissioners purchased about 30,000/. Consols thii morning, for - the Savings Banks and the Redemption Fund, at 981.

Duntax, MAncit 25.—Notwithstanding faint denials on the one hand, and very emphatic contradictions on .the other, the Evening Mail resolutely reassera its statement respecting the receipt by' Earl De Grey of the communication from the Prime Minister, prescribing to his Excellency certain terns upon which he is to be guided in his future distribution of Church patronage ; the sine qua non being, that the support of the present system of national education is an indispensable qualification for ecclesiastical sreferment. - " We repeat," sayathe Mail, "in the most emphatic terms of which language is capable,, that such a communication has been made within the last month; and that a determi nation of acting upon that despotic declaration has been snb sequently announced." And further, the Mail adds : " Every word of our statement is strictly and accurately true." If the qUestion has not been already decided by the negation or confirmation of its correctness in the proper quarter, it is one far too important to remain long a subject of deep and anxious doubt, and by many degrees too grave a topic to form the ground of a newspaper controversy. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. . _ The usual weekly meeting of the .Association was held this day at the Conciliation Hall; E. W. Costello, Esq., in the chair. Among the correspondence was the following letter from Mr. O'Connell, which was ordered to be inserted on the minutes : " London, March 23, 1844. " My dear .
