The Irish Corporation Bill was read a second time last night in the House of Lords. Viscount MELBOURNE opened the discussion by a frank, temperate, and concilia tory speech, wherein he stated the character and objects of the measure, and insisted that it was absolutely neces sary to the future well-being and tranquillity of Ireland, that such a measure should, as soon as possible, pass into law. Alluding to the Tory proposition in the House of Com mons, to abolish the Irish Corporations altogether, his Lordship archly observed that it was very different from the usual cautious and doubtful policy of that party ; and hinted that it emanated from a certain Member of the House of Commons more remarkable for his talent than his judgment. His Lordship's allusion, was no doubt, to the " driver of the Dilly," who may possibly imagine that the influence he cannot exercise in the one House, he may be able to exercise in the other. But if such be his notion he will most assuredly be disappointed —so far, at least, as regards the result of his influence—for though the House of Lords may adopt his views of Corporte Reform, the country will not, particularly Ireland, who seeing nothing in Lord STANLEY'S opposition, but an inveterate personal dislike of O'CONNELL, will of course treat it accordingly. Lord LYNDHURST—We say nothing of the Earl of MANS FIELD, for his speech was at least a century behind its time —was the chief spokesman of the Tories last night ; and though he assented to the second reading, announced pretty plainly, that it was his intention to neutralize the Bill altogether in Committee. This announcement will take no one by surprise. The country has been long prepared for it, and will of course not hesitate to express its opinion, boldly and unequivocally, on the subject. Their Lordships must be told—and the intelligence cannot be conveyed to them too soon—that it is their duty as legislators, to look to the pre sent and the future, rather than to the past ; to be guided in their decisions by justice, not caprice ; and above all, not to let their avowed detestation of a particular individual, furnish them with a pretext for refusing to recognize the equitable claims of a whole nation. Why, is Ireland to be ill-treated, because Mr. O'CONNELL does not happen to be in favour with the House of Lords ? Is this justice—is it common sense—is it conduct worthy a set of legislators who, as they are so fond of insinuating, are wise by virtue of hereditary descent ? But it is useless to attempt to point out to - their Lordships the folly and rashness of the course they are pursuing. They are clearly incur able, and bent on their own ruin. Possibly, however, they may suppose that, by their destruction of the Irish Municip a l Bill, th ey w ill f orce Ministers into 1 resignation. But Ministers know better. They will not skul': from the difficultie s which a factious opposition has raised up in their path, and which they must have long since foreseen ; but boldly grapple with, and overcome them. A dissolution would soon restore the Tory Lords to their senses—if s" se they have, to be res t ored to—for it would be the means o f returning such an ov erw h elming majority of Reformers to Parliament, and of exhibiting such a display of popular feeling, as should sweep all Conservative opposition before it, like chaff before the wind. Their Lordships wert par ticularly eloquent on the subject of " agitation" last . . night. But who, permit us to ask, are the agita tors now ? Who are kindling the torch, and reviving the half-extinguished flame of discord in Ireland, by saying to the people, " you shall have no ' equal jus tice'—no municipal government—no privileges, in short, but such as we, in our condescension, may be graciously pleased to bestow on you ?" Again, their Lordships are stung to the quick by the inordinate infllence of Mr. O'CONNELL. They deprecate it in the strongest terms of which the language is capable. And yet, while they thus deprecate it, they augment it tenfold, by denying that jus tice to the people of Ireland, in whose cause alone DANIEL is influential. Should Lord LYNDHURST'S amendment be carried in Committee, we confidently predict that it will raise Mr. O'Connell to a pinnacle of power which no British subject ever yet attained. The expediency of repealing that part of the 27th section of the Reform Bill, which requires the payment of poor rates and assessed taxes as a qualification for voting in bo roughs, was brought before the House of Commons last night by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, in the form of an amendment upon the Registration of Voters' Bill. The Hon. Member for Finsbury, in a very temperate speech, in which he did every justice to the framers of the Reform Bill, contended that the clause of the Bill which required the payment of rates as a qualification for voting, was both unconstitutional in principle, and vexatious in operation. Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. HUME took the same view of the question ; the Hon. Member for Middlesex citing as a proof of the in jurious working of that part of the Bill, that he himself had been disfranchised in consequence of a three days' delay in the payment of his rates, and that five hundred voters of the parish of St. James's had been disfranchised through a similar neglect. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the amendment, which was ultimately lost by a majority of one hundred and three—the votes in favour of it being fifty-one and those against it one hundred and fifty-four. As this question is of considerable moment to a large and influential portion of the Electors of Great Britain and Ireland, we wish to make a few observations upon it. We believe it has not yet been properly considered, in conse quence, probably, of a clamour that it is purely Ministerial. This is an error which cannot be too soon corrected. Mi nisters have no more to do with it than any other portion of their fellow-subjects. The 27th clause of the Reform Bill is, to a certain ex tent, objectionable ; but those_who contend that it produces no good effect are very much mistaken. What it requires is modification. But first we shall notice the argument of the Hon. Member for Finsbury against this clause, on the ground that it is unconstitutional, and bad in principle. In the course of his speech the Hon. Gentleman is reported to have said—" When I assert that the 27th clause is uncon stitutional in principle, and vexatious in operation, I beg leave to appeal, in confirmation of such assertion, to the speech of the Noble Lord (J. RUSSELL) who has main tained that in all cases taxation ought to precede representation. The 27th clause, however, completely re verses that order, for it makes taxation precede represen tation : it requires not only that a man shall be taxed, but that he shall absolutely have paid his taxes before he votes." This is one or the silliest fallacies we ever heard propounded ; and we advise Mr. DuNcor.za::, before he again quote a constitutional maxim, to make himself better acquainted with our constitutional history. if representation did not precede taxation, how could the taxes of whose prompt payment he complains, have become due ? Are the taxes so collected an instalment of a rate to be suhse ,quently imposed ? Is it the custom of Parliament to legislate retropec,tively on questions of taxation and Finance ? If so, we can understand the force of Mr. DUNCO3IBE'6 ar gument, for then the electoral body might justly cornplan of being deprived of the possible chance of a legislative act of grace, in the shape of a remission of taxes due under ac authority of former Parliaments. Had the Hon. Member for Finsbury only asked himself this simple and very natu ral question—Who imposed the taxes which are required to be paid up before the next election ?—he could hardly have uttered such a fallacy as is contained in the above extract froM his speech. The 27th clause is therefore not objectionable on the ground of principle, so long as Parli;:- meet insist upon a prOperty qualification on the part of the electoral body—a qualification which Mr. DuNcomrE rather inconsistently maintained ought not to be abolished. One of the best recommendations of the 27th clause is to be found in its tendency to prevent litigation—always expensive and often ruinous—in the collection of taxes. It has also the effect of associating the discharge of a duty with the exercise of a right in the mind of the elector—to many a source of honourable pride. It also removes much of that suspicion with regard to the solvency of those who present themselves at the poll, 'and which of itself is calculated to lower the character of borough consti tuencies. On the other hand, the clause is de fective in , not providing against the disfranchisement of all whose violation of the law is involuntary. For example, additional facilities ought to be provided for the payment of the rate, by enacting that the proper officers shall demand it at certain intervals, and as often as three or more times, at the respective residences of the electors, be fore the petiod of disfranchisement. The cases cited by the Hon. Member for Middlesex are exceptions to the ge neral rule. We are confident that we shall not hear again of his being disfranchised a second time ; nor is the recur rence of such an event likely to befal the aristocracy of St. James's. The clause ought to be so amended as to leave no power of disfranchisement in the hands of the tax collectors, or other officers ; and to provide a remedy for involuntary negligence on the part of the electoral body, so that none may be arbitrarily deprived of the exercise of a constitutional right. But while property is regarded as a qualification, we think the 27th clause ought not to be repealed altogether. We call particular attention to the prospectus of the " Royal Bank of Ireland," which will be found in our adver tising columns. We trust the project will be most success ful ; as we are confident that it will be productive of the greatest advantage to the Irish nation. The Paris Papers of Sunday, with the Evening Papers, dated yesterday, have been received. The arrest of the Carlist Bishop of LEON, near Bourdeaux, of which we made mention in The Sun of yesterday { , is the general topic of conversation in Paris. The Government has permitted the Bishop to go wheresoever he pleases, except to Spain. In one of these Journals we find the following important announcement : " We have received through a particular channel the fol lowing from Berlin of the 9th of April. The Maritime So ciety has sent to a Tory Banker at London the sum of about a million and a half of francs, to be immediately transferred to the head-quarters of Don Carlos, half of which is to be sent by the way of Bayonne, and the other half by sea to Biscay. It is known that this Society is connected with the Govern ment, and it is also known that it is not the first time that this kind of intervention has taken place." The French Government has given orders for the expul sion from Paris of all Poles who have signed the Act of Confederation. The number implicated does not exceed thirty. M. DUCHATEL is about to visit England. The following are extracts from the Journals : The Government renounces the plan of sending General Moline Saint Yon to the head-quarters of General Cordova, This mission is confided, for the present, to Captain Senhilly, Secretary to the Committee of Infantry and Cavalry, who will shortly set out for Navarre. BARCELONA, APRIL 6.—The Carlists lately attempted to surprise Berga. They even succeeded in entering through the windows of a house, and penetrated to the principal square ; but here they met with resistance, being attacked and driven out of the town, leaving some killed behind. The fortifications of Bruch and Casa-Masara are prose cuted with great activity. It is said :that the Carlists have vowed to prevent them, at any rate. The injury done to the insurgents by the Ist brigade is con siderable. They have abandoned a large convoy of provisions in the village of Villa Nueva de Monsee. The convoy has been taken by the Queen's troops. The bands of Torres, and other chiefs which have invaded Lower Catalonia, carry with them 60 wounded, who fatigue them very much on their march. It is hoped that a decisive blow will be struck against them. The forces which pursue the Carlists in all parts of the province amount to 20,000 men. The activity of the Christino columns has given alarm to some bands which have quitted Lefrons and Olot.—Senti nelle deg Pyrenees. The 111en'torial;les Pyrenees says, " We have the following letter from Bedons, on the French frontier of Aragon : An Aragonese, w h o l e f t S aragossa three days ago , sa y s th a t previously to his departure, a report was spread that the van guard of a corps of 11,000 men of the new levy had arrived at Calatazud, and that these troops were destined to act in Lowcr Aragon ag.inst the insurgents, whose number increases every day.' "—Messayer, April 17. We have letters from Madrid to the 11th inst. Five articles of the Address had been discussed and adopted without amendment. The discussion on the fifth, which related to the Quadruple Treaty, was very important. Several of the Deputies, including Senors CASTEL and GALIANO—the former an ecclesiastic, distinguished for his patriotism and virtue—spoke openly in favour of the invo cation of Foreign assistance. ARGUELLES opposed it ; but there is no longer a doubt but that intervention is desired by a great number of Spaniards of the highest character. The following is an extract from an interesting letter, which we have received from an occasional Correspondent at Madrid, dated April 10th : " Warlike operations on a large scale are about to commence along the whole line of the disaffected provinces. The factious in Biscay are completely hemmed in by 30 of the Queen's battalions, and 7of the Portuguese contingent. It will be impossible for them to escape, except by sacrificing all their artillery. As to any advance on their part, it is utterly out of the question. The poor inhabitants of the villages where the Carlists are quartered are ground down to the earth by the exactions which they are continually compelled to submit to, or be decimated. The hamlet of Domaica, for instance, containing about three hundred souls, has been forced to provide 4,500 rations. The British Legion is on the point of moving from Vittoria, having received orders to hold itself in readiness on the 6th instant. In the action at Unza the Carlists lost no less than 57 officers, and 800 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The rebel chief El Raja is at last dead, in real earnest, of his wound. The opposition that was to shake Mendizabal from his position, and to force the candid Isturiz and the consistent Galiano at the head of affairs, has miserably failed. The address was voted unani mously, to the utter discomfort of the knot of place-hunters, and other disinterested patriots who have been lately intriguing to the full extent of their puny abilities." Letters of a late date have been received from the British Legion ; the health of the troops is almost entirely re-esta blished. They are still cantoned in the villages adjacent to Vittoria ; a move was talked of, but the destination unknown. Colonel Colquhoun, who had been very dangerously ill, was recovering rapidly. Montreal Papers to the 11th, and Quebec Papers to the 14th ult., have been received. The following account of the proceedings of the Lower Canada House of Assembly includes all that is important in these journals : " The session of the Assembly may be considered as at an end, having done those things which it ought not to have done, and left undone those things which it ought to have done.' The country is left without any provision for the sup port of the prisoners in the gaols--without provision for the arrest of criminals, and the administration of criminal justice; without a penitentiary, which the Legislature declared neces sary two years ago ; without proper provision in the case of the return of sickness ; without any real amelioration of the laws, or public improvements—any settlement of the public accounts, and advances to a very large amount to commis sioners unaccounted for ; and without any reasonable and well founded diminution of the public expenses. They have, however, carried off twenty-seven thousand pounds for contin gencies; about six thousand pounds for arrear and current pay of members, besides nearly three thousand pounds for Speaker's pay and regular officers, which will have to be paid. In all about thirty-six thousand pounds for themselves—equal to nearly one year's expense of the Provincial Government ; while all other officers are three and a half years in arrear." DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Committee this morning Mr. Joy was about applying himself in answering the argument of Mr. hessiger respecting the vote of George Latouche Powell, objected to on the ground of non-residence, when Mr. MAXWELL said he was desired to make an observation which would probably, save time. The Committee had come to the following resolution :—" That no affidavit of registry of John Latouche Powell being returned as a exhibit by the Commissioners, the Committee aro of opinion that the pro duction of the printed list signed by the Clerk of the Peace be permitted." Mr. THESSIGER submitted that no proof bad been given, such as was required by the resolution of the 30th of March. There was not sufficient evidence to identify the voter with the premises admitted to be vacated. Mr.• G. F. YouNo thought the Committee was quite in possession of the circumstances of this case, to enable them to ' come to a decision without hearing further argument. Mr. Joy—l am precisely of that opinion. The Learned Gentleman here read the admission given by the petitioner's agent. Mr. YovNG—I assure you personally I know the evidence by heart. Mr. THESSIGER felt it his duty to offer some observations, and he assured Hon. Members he should be brief. The CHAIRMAN—After what you say it would be impossible not to hear you ; but it is but fair to tell you that the Com mittee generally are of the opinion expressed by Mr. Young. Mr. THESSIGER having argued in favour of his view, the Committee, after a short deliberation, resolved, " That the Committee having considered the admission of the petitioners, and the minutes of the Commissioners referring to it, the printed list and the arguments of Counsel, are of opinion that the name of John Latouche Powell must be struck off the poll." This gave Mr. O'Connell a majority of one; and his agent, Mr. Woodlock, consented to strike off the votes of Thomas Halpin and William Doyle, who voted for the sitting Member. George Brassington, whos,e name was contained in the ad mission, was proposed to be struck off the petitioners' poll, but evidence having been given by Mr. O'Connell's agent, Mr. Wrangham wished to stand upon it ; but the Committee decided that the case came within the scope of the last reso lution, and the vote was accordingly struck off. James Darcy was struck off the petitioners' poll, on the ground of change of residence. Mr. 'Woodlock consented to have the votes of Patrick Phe lan and John Verschoyle struck off Mr. O'Connell's majority. Timothy Browne, a voter of the petitioner's was struck off, after the evidence relating to it was read by Mr. Hutton. John Egan was the next voter objected to by the Sitting Member. It appeared in evidence that the voter did not at the time of the election occupy the premises out of which he voted, and that it had been taken down. Mr. WRANOHAM submitted that committees never decided against the franchise, because the house might be taken down for the purpose of having it rebuilt. The Committee decided on striking off the vote. The vote of Daniel Doyle being objected to by the peti tioners, was struck off by consent of the sitting Member ; also that of Michael Madden. The scrutiny was proceeding with when our reporter left.

BIRTH-DAY OF SHAKSPEARE.-The design of preserving the tomb of Shakspcare from further injury, and of renovating the beautiful Chancel in which his remains are de posited, gives a peculiar interest to the approaching anniver sary on the 23d instant.— Warwick Advertiser. A very numerous meeting of Conservative Peers was held at Apsley House on Saturday morning. Their Lord ships began to assemble as early as eleven o'clock. The cholera has again. broken out at Venice, and spreads rapidly ; it has also reappeared in different parts of Italy.—Allyerneine Ecitung. The Prussian Gazette announces that the Em peror of Russia has given permission to the wives Mahometans condemned to banishment to choose other husbands. The polling for a Coroner for Surrey is fixed for Wednesday, the 27th inst., at Guildford. Mr. Carter, the son of the deceased Coroner, and Mr. Everest, are the only candidates. The Inverness accent has lately been the subject of some controversy between the Courier of that Highland capital and the Perahl of Aberdeen. Robert Stuart, Esq., M.P., of Alderston, a junior Lord of the Treasuary, has been selected to fill the office of Chief Commissioner of the Post-office, under the new arrange ments in progress for remodelling that department. This ap pointment will create a vacancy in the representation of the Haddington district of burghs. The Journal du Commerce says—" We believe we may affirm that the French Cabinet has just granted to the Greek Government an advance of one million of francs upon the instalment of the loan about to become due." The Garrick Club intend to commemorate the birth- day of Shakspeare by a joyous festival, on Saturday, the 23d of April. In the absence of their President, the Earl of Mul grave, now Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Theodore Hooke, - Esq., has consented to preside. Vlr. Cleave has been liberated from prison. Half of the sentence was remitted. _ -- - INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUNI.—The seventh anni versary of this institution was yesterday evening celebrated by a dinner at the London Tavern, Bishopsgatc-street, George Byng, Esq., M.P., in the chair. THE PORTFOLIO.—We are informed that the real Editor of the diplomatic documents published in London in the Portfolio is named Heber. He had contrived to escape from Stuttgard with the documents ; his extradition had been de manded by the Russian Government, but the friends to the Poles managed to conceal him. He thus escaped the pursuit, and succeeded in reaching London. The authenticity of the documents is no longer doubted, and much more important publications are expected from the same source. All the German Governments are alarmed at the indiscretion ; the Prussian Government especially manifests its displeasure. —German Paper. A melancholy event occurred at Kensington Palace yesterday morning. Mr. Hartmann, confectioner in the household of the Duchess of Kent, put an end to his exis tence at an early hour. He had recently recovered from a long and severe illness, and was subject to a depression of spirits. He had been in the establishment for many years. Information of the melancholy occurrence was at seven o'clock forwarded by Sir John Conroy to H. G. Codd, Esq., the Ken sington magistrate, who immediately sent for Martin, one of the Kensington beadles, and directed him to communicate with Mr. Stirling, the coroner for Middlesex, on the subject ; but Martin having ascertained that the duty of holding the inquest would devolve on either the coroner for the city and liberties of Westminster (the palace being situated in the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster), or the coroner of the King's Household and Verge, information of the occurrence was sent to the parochial authorities of St. Margaret's, and also to the Board of Green Cloth. In the afternoon, Frederick John Manning, Esq., the Coroner of the Household, arrived at the Palace, and after a conference with Sir John Conroy, issued his warrant for a jury to meet at 2 o'clock to-morrow (this day). The way in which the unfortunate man effected self-destruction was, we understand, by placing the barrels of a double-barrelled gun in the fireplace of a stove, which he had just lighted, and, placing himself before it, the charge of both barrels passed through him, and shivered the whole of the glass in both the windows of the kitchen. A number of re ports of an extremely painful nature are in circulation in the neighbourhood, where the occurrence has occasioned a great sensation ; but we abstain from mentioning any of them, as the whole of the facts will be elicited at the investigation' this afternoon. SUICIDE.—A deliberate act of suicide was on Mon day committed at Greenock by a single woman who lived with her father, an almost helpless old man. The cause of her com mitting self-destruction, it appears, was her father havint , pre vented her from marry in g i n her youth a young m an t o w hom she was attached. Her mind had been in consequence much affected for many years. Two bottles were found by her bed side, which had contained laudanum. When her deplorable state was discovered, medical assistance was procured, and the stomach-pump applied, but all attempts to restor e animation were of no avail. The deceased was in easy circumstances. Public meetings have been held here against the proposition of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to consolidate the dioceses of St. Asaph and Bangor under one Prelate.

Mr. WAKEMAN applied on the part of the plaintiff in this case to change the venue from Westmoreland to Lancashire. The action was originally brought to recover compensation from the defendant for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default, and a writ of inquiry was directed to the Sheriff of Westmoreland, to assess the damages. A Jury was summoned at Appleby to try the question ; but on the night before the trial, plaintiff's attorney happened to be in company with some of the persons who composed the Jury, and upon that occasion three or four of the Jury declared that if the case came before them they would not give more than half-a-crown damages, and added " We never give damages in cases of this kind." On this fact being mentioned to the Sub- Sheriff, he offered to summon another Jury, but at the same time told the plaintiff's attorney it would be all the same, that he had no chance of getting damages from a Westmoreland Jury ; that he had been an attorney for upwards of 20 years, and whenever he had cases of this kind, he always removed the venue to York or Lancashire, well knowing he had no chance of damages from a Westmoreland Jury. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—This throws an imputation on the entire county. Mr. WAIC'EMAN—No, my Lord, only on those who are sum moned as jurymen. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—Every one who is acquainted with the Circuit knows that Westmoreland Juries do not give as high damages in eases of this nature as Juries of other coun ties ; but the effect of granting this application would cer tainly be to throw an imputation on the entire county, which I cannot consent to do. Mr. WAKEMAN begged to know, as this was a case of deep importance to his client, whether his Lordship had any ob jection that he should renew this application before the full Court. Mr. Justice WlLLtatts—Most certainly not. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

In the LORDS' last night, after a discussion which we have noticed elsewhere, the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was read a second time. _ _ In the COMMONS', Mr. Clay's motion relative to the Great Northern Railway Bill was discussed and ultimately withdrawn. Lord J. Russell stated, in answer to a question put by Mr. P. Scrope, that it is not the intention of Government to brin g forward, during the present session, any Bill to provide for the Irish poor. " The infinite consequences," said the Noble Lord, " which must flow from any legislative measure on this subject, makes me cautious how I pledge myself, or the Go vernment, to the adoption of any immediate measures in re gard to it." The remainder of the evening was occupied with the discussion, in Committee, of the Registration of Voters' Bill. Lord John Russell gave a dinner party on Satur• day, in Wilton -crescent. Mr. Egerton gave a large dinner party on Saturday in St. James's-square. A vacancy in the number of Aides-de-Camp to his Majesty has occurred by the death of Captain Reimier, C. B. The officers holding this appointment receive 10s. a day in addition to their half-pay. It is rumoured at the Clubs that a recent domestic occurrence is to furnish occupation for the gentlemen of the long robe. We know not the truth of the repprt. It is said that one of the oldest subscription houses in St. James's.street will be dissolved at the earliest period its rules will allow.

The whole noble suite of dining rooms were thrown open, and the attendants appeared in their splendid state liveries. The party broke up before eleven o'clock. His Excellency gives another party to the Cabinet Ministers on the 24th instant. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.--A new operetta, under the title of Captain is not a Tliss, was produced at this theatre yesterday evening. The incidents of the piece are as follow : Emily, Mrs. Nisbett, to escape from the solicitations of an unwelcome suitor, who is favoured by her guardian, General Stromwell (Mr. Bennett), elopes from his house in the dis guise of an officer, and accompanied by her maid, disguised as a valet. She assumes the name of Captain Daring, and re tires to an inn at some distance from her guardian's house. While she is there the real Captain Daring and his servant arrive at the same inn. The guardian in the mean time re ceives information of his maid's plan, and follows her, and makes the landlord cognizant of it. The real Captain Daring is in consequence suspected to be the young lady in disguise, and this leads to some amusing incidents. Of course, at length the whole matter is explained, and Captain Daring receives the hand of Emily. The piece was received favourably. The fine of 2001. to the King, adjudged to be paid by Salmon, the " Hvgeist," for administering unlawfully Mo rison's pills to the deceased Captain M'Kenzie, will be given up by the Lords of the Treasury to the unhappy and destitute widow and children. Is THERE EVER A TORY AMONG YOU ?—No man who heard this question put by Mr. O'Connell, in Not tingham market-place, on 111onday .week, will ever forget it. The scene altogether was e xhilarating, and the attitude and voice of the speaker were calculated to make an abiding im pression on the memory. SOUTH MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The attention of the Committee of the above Com pany has been directed to a letter, inserted as an advertisement in the Times, signed " Amicus," containing various charges against this Company. The whole of that anonymous communication is an entire falsehood, concocted for the basest and most wretched of pur poses—so much so, that the Committee only deem it necessary to contradict it ;n the most direct manner. For the satisfaction of the Public, and in justification of the objects of the Committee of the South Midland Counties Railway, they have to state— ]. That the South Midland Railway will cause the most direct, perfect, and profitable communication between London, the Midland Counties, and the North of England. 2. That the South Midland Railway will effect a saving of between five and six miles. 3. That it can be made without a tunnel ; whereas there will be no less than four on the proposed deviating Midland line, the Kilsby one, being a mile and a quarter in length, consequently highly objectionable to passengers. 4. That the Midland Counties projected line by Rugby does not pass near any town or village worthy of notice, or through a country that justifies the extension of the road to a distance of between five and six miles, to the total exclusion of the important towns of Northampton, Market Harborough, Stamford, and the intermediate places. The Committee of the South Midland Counties Railway are prepared to prove these advantages, and will do so before the proper tribunal. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN GUSTARD, Secretary to the South Midland Counties Railway. 19, Parliament-street, April 16, 1836. [By mistake this has not appeared sooner.] COURT CIRCULAR.

THE FRENCH REVENUE.—The Moniteur of Sa turday publishes a comparative statement of the receipts of the public revenue during the first three months of the year 1836, and of the first three months of 1834 and 1835 ; by which it appears that the receipts for the first quarter of 1836 exceeds by 11,543,000 francs that of the first quarter of 1834, and by 4,867,000 francs th a t o f th e fi rs t qua rter of 1835. This shows a more prosperous state of the French finances than was Chefan nounced a days ar , o.

They were sentenced to be well whipped and discharged.— Worcester Journal.

From the conclusion our readers may draw their own inference. According to the statement of Messrs.

P pri b n e thus leaving a majority of 28 Liberal journals. Of the Lon thus don journals, daily, weekly, &c., there are 22 Liberal, `l,l LiterarY Conservative, and eight 'Neutral. Amongst the Neutrals, there are of course classed the Court Journal, the ° eas t Gazette, the Mining Gazette, and other s of the Sam; ee , The majority in favour of the Liberal J ournals is, how only one.

The of Ireland, however, so long misgoverned as it has boa , a nt , so long, therefore, subjected to agitation, necessarily acc°l3o for this ; and the means adopted in tliat portion of the e m p ire by the Conservative party, the moneyed one as reaards the gre°. bulk of the population, rendersM • . sufficiently eviden t the cat.lsl, tot why there is a majority of one in ofthe Conserv& favour interest. trie In Scotland there are 27 Liberal 21 Courser" journals, ditto, two Neutral ditto. In Wal es there are only three Liberal • tusals and three Conservative ditto. And in the Channel Islands there are nine Liberal Jourtalsi and four Conservative. The sum total, upon the showing e,. this list, therefore, is, that in the British Empire there a r ; published 202 Liberal Journals, 163 Conservative, an d . 1 _ s ta n t a e Neutrals ; leaving a balance in favour of the advocacy of Lcor ral opinions of 39 newspapers, which is certainly no aretakea temptible one, when the efforts of the expiring party - re into consideration.
