THIRD EDITION OF “ THE SUN." 1f hare received many complaintsfrom Sabscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is ditlfurther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post -like fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. rhi4 Edition contains the Latest News Parliamentary Debates up to a /eerier to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together ta~l the ' Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shariz in Railways, kc. ekc. —The Betting at Tattersall'silm Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds— The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Beyond or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE HOURS IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. !Whose places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the "MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, etc. tc., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sum" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations. 13, Great Marlborough.street.

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 offered to give it up to America. In fact, his (Lord ASUBURTON'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 Lore. Join RUSSELL, as to the instructions issued from the Colonial- office to Lord SYDENHA 31, on the subject of these negotiations. The only negotiations that had been carried on had been between Mr. Fox and Mt. WEDsr ER, and they re lated solely to the disturbances which had taken place between the irregular troops of Marine and the British Fencibles 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-_l.dships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. DODD moved that the report of the Board of Trade against the Bill intended to be brought in by the Croydun Railway Company, to authorise the construc tion of a railway to Ashford, be referred back to the Board of Trade for reconsideration. The SPEAKER said that, bcfore 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 (Ur. Donn) be now heard. This motion, which was opposed by Sir GEo. CLERK, was, on a division, rejected, the numbers being, for the Enotirm, 78, against it, 123, majority against the mo- tion, 45. Mr. HUME moved a new writ for Greenock, in the room of R. WALLACE, Esq., 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, ro 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 have no cause to complain that they bad 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, not 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 9,000/. 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 had 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 120/. a year each ; and although learned and pious men might, by a zeal for their religion, he induced to undertake these offices for such a paltry pit tance, yet they could not expect constantly to secure the services sal efficient professors for such a miserable salary. The ouilding itself was like a dilapidated barracks ; :here was nut space to accommodate all the students, 440 in number, with a separate room, and of those stu dents 230 were free student 4, whom the State pro r esses to maintain, and for whose maintenance they allowed 231. 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 withaut a dissentient voice. On two distinct occasions the Imperial Parliament had increased the vote to Maynooth, viz. in 1807, and in 1808 ; and Mr. PERCIV AL, on that occasion, implied that if a fur ther increase should be necessary, he would not be un willing to make 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 tre a t 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 3,0001., in stead of 1,000/. 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 7,000/• a year ; the salaries for professors to vary from 250/. to 3001. In order to increase the number of profes sors it would be necessary to make an additional pro proposed,year s h t o h a e l r: be e , given ot to a sum the not e trustees xce , excee , d inginv i pro vision. e a order to make a provision for g the ') resident, profes sors, librarian, an d pr i ncipal off i cers h T o h n e d n r a w d i th a a r d e g thirty ard students t othe ti students,th acan thereeoaeef c; r , e d t n tn, e id a c e l o d l f e i four . these three classes:—the Dunboy ne , t the Junior classes, He prop ose d to allat to each r, t of an l d Dunboyne students the suns of 40/. per annum, and t i e make, in the whole, a provisi o n f or 50 0 students -250 ino the four junior classes, and 250 in the three senior classes, these being Divinity students. He proposed that, fur the maintenance of each student, the sum of 28/. a-year should be allowed to the trustees; and, in additi on to that sum, amounting to 14,560/., he proposed for the two hundred and fifty divinity students in the superior classes a separate allowance of 201. a year, making a further sum of 5,0001.; snaking a total yearly provi sion of 26,3161. The number of students would be increased to five hundred, and the bailding would be THE_ SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1845. 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 to order a visitation whenever he may see At. The visits would have no reference to doctrine or dis cipline. He could assure the House that the measure had not been brought forward without consultation with those who might be supposed to bo acquainted with the feelings of the Catholic body, and he believed that it would meet with the general appro bation of the Catholic hierarchy. The measure itself was nothing more than a liberal fulfilment of those obligations into which the Legislature of the country had entered es ith the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Be 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. lie 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 the 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 fur leave to bring in a Bill to alter the law relating to the college of May noeth. SirlZ. 11. INGLIS in rising to oppose the motion remarked upon the single fact, that all the cheering, during the Right lion. Baronet's speech, had come from the Oppo sition side of the house, while the usual supporters cf the Government remained silent. Al:hough 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 implit d by which Parliament was bound to uphold the College of Maynooth. The mea sure was wrong in princ;ple, he considered, and as a matter of expediency he felt convinced it would fail. He regretted that Sir H. PEEL had not stated his views on the subject in 1840. For himself, taking his stand on Protestant Christianity, he should certainly more a negative on the question. Captain B. OsnonNE approved of the increased grant, and hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would not be de terred from his principles by the Na Popery cry, but he thought that instead of the money coming out of the pockets of the people, it cught to come out of the fends of the Established Church. Mr. GREGORY opposed the increase cf the grant. Lord F. EGERTON, although deeply sensible of the fact that his vote that night would he at variance with the views and opi►.ions of those who supported him—of those, the representing of whom he always considered the greatest honour be could obtain — yet felt complied 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 Iri3h Church, instead of from the pockets of the people. Mr. LAW opposed the Government proposition. The House was afterwards addressed by Mr. BELLEW, Lord SANDort, Mr. PLUMPTRE, Lord Jl. FIN RUSSELL, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Colonel SIBTIIORP, Mr. Smut., Mr T. DUNCOMBE, and other Hen. 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 unplalified delight the debate on the great question which came before the House ' of Commons last night, and the large majority of 102 in favour of justice to Roman Catholics. It is the first great step to 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 at: d 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 hail 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 fishee, and at the same time prof( ss, 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 tl:e wall between England and Ireland higher, the peop'e 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 tkis 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 are willing to believe solely because they considered it their duty as Protestants. But theme 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 natioas. The conclusion of Mr. Slum'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. &MIL, " 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 Cr , ,D has given him ; and I should turn with a disdairCul 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 had 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. lfave been received. According to some of those in the pay of the Government, the plot fur which twenty-six persons had been arrested on the previous day was of a most serious character, though, 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 letti r had been discovered which revealed the- scheme, said to be of a most revolutionary character. The Eco del Commercio 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 Biltnafeda."

The intelligence from saris possesses considerable in terest. The strength as courage of the Ministry ar reviving. M. GuizoT wade a b a ld s t an d o n the Sardi nian treaty, and did not shrink from the ungracious task of demanding a vetc for arming the fortifications of Paris, and saceers has hitherto attended both urea 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 appointed to examine the estimates for the fortifications of Paris, the Ministers also were successful. Seven of the Commirtees were favourable to the measure, and only two rgtitist it. M. TErEvtlo ab.4?ntt;cl him; 4t on the occasion, but he wm.tll have acted more honourably, had he manfully sup ported a scheme which for certain purposes he advocated while in power, and which be and the SOVEREIGN, in fact, ' carried through the Chamber. The works now, gurs, bombs, shells, bastions, counter:carps, ditches, and all, will be ultimately completed, according to the original plan, and something more. The intelligence from Switzerland is to the 30th ult., and, on the whole, more satisfactory. The Governor of Berne was actively engaged in restraining the volunteers 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 eivil war. The following is the reply made by M. Motrssorr, President of the Extraordinary Diet, held at Zurich, to the note of M. GulzoT, uddress.ed through the Swiss Charg4 d'Affaires at Paris TO M. DE TSCIIANN, CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF 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 has dcd to me a copy of a diTatch, 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 tha present step 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 yeu some observations, to which 1 beg leave to call your attention. When the dispatch of the Minister for Fo reigh Affairs was written, the instructions of the States on the question of the free corps—en the subject of which it speaks parti. cularty—as well as tha 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 ir.terpretation, 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 so 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. INIOUSSON, President of the Diet."

It is somewhat difficult, to conceive upon what principle it is that the Government of India is about to increase the du ties upon imports, 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. IV¢ 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 House 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% % for pre sent transfer; and 99X % for Account. Exchequer-bills 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 1 4 %, and the Passive 7% % : coming rather better from Paris they have improVed a trifle here also. Mexican are quiet at 35%; Colombian are 15% to 16 ; and Brazilian 88 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63% to 63%. An extrasrdinary 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 su:nmer. The French lines are also buoyant. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

FORTUNATE i tECoVRIty OF 400/.—Yesterclay an elderly gentleman, named Hamilton, arrived by one of the trains at the terminus of tha Great Western Railroad, at Paddington, from Bristol, and on his arrival he hired a cab to convey him and his baggage to Guildford.street, RusselLsquare, where he alighted, and the luggage was removed into the house. In about ten minutes afterwards Ur. Hamilton discovered that he had left his pocket. book in the e,h, containing Bank of England notes to the amount of 400 i. Mr. Hamilton. accompanied by his friend, immediately started off in pursuit of the cabman, and for that purpose proceeded to the nearest cab.stand in Gray's.lnn.lane, when to their grati fication they found the cab and driver.
