..--- - same emphasis as struck the mind when the type etrttck the eye with its larger or more impressive haracter.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Thus be read it) and then he said we ought to search our coaseiences, and consider the solemn obligation that we owed to our country and our God—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord (Stanley) said he did not mean to give me and others any offence. I accept his intention as he wishes us to take it, trusting he will do the same by mine. Suppose ) then, as he has given me a lecture on perjury, I give him one on political principle.--(Lo u d cr i es of " Hear, hear.") In answer to his advice to us I will pray him to avoid political tergiversation.—(Loud cheers.) I will warn him of the danger of playing the renegade for the sake of men with whom his political career can command but little confidence—and, above all, I bid him remember the ancient motto of his high and ho noured family—" Soyez tranquille."—(Cheers and great laughter.) Let him remember, and, if possible, act upon, that sound and judicious saying in the spirit of here ditary gratitude.—(Loud laughter.) As the Noble Lord gives me his warning as to perjury, in gratitude I tender him my admonition on apostacy.—(Loud cheers.) The Noble Lord's advice and counsel is very gratuitous, and, as Is usually the case when he proffers it, not very judicious or applicable—(Hear, hear.)--but I will leave that to come to the more important question, —How is Ireland to be governed ? Is she to be go verned by verdicts and bayonets ?—(Cheers.) If you will require Protestant juries, Protestant churches, and Protestant ascendancy, then shall you require Protes tant bayonets to maintain them.—(Cheers.) Where are your specifics for Ireland—l ask you ? You have issued a Landlord and Tenant Commission, and you make a great boast about it. What will it do beyond telling us that which we all know already ?—(Hear, hear.) You suggest for one of your remedies that the questions of difference between landlord and tenant shall be removed from their present cheap and easy ad judication to the courts of quarter sessions. Take care what you do—take care how you interfere with the tribunal to which the people at pre sent appeal with confidence —take care how you meddle with Mr. Hensch. You may destroy his juris diction ; but in doing so you will not destroy discontent, but will aggravate it by increasing twenty-fold the ex penses in your insane intention of appeals to quarter tiessions.—( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham) told you he should have no objection in any future legislation on this subject for Ireland, to provide that where tenants are removed they shall have compen sation for any loss they may sustain. Now this is a question closely connected with registration. It has been pending these three years. Do you mean to give us the Chandos clause?—(Cheers.) If you mean to give us the tenant-at-will clause, I tell you, you will goad out the tenants of the country, and you will array them in one determined opposition to you.—(Hear, hear.) In peace you will hold them in a debasing and dangerous vassal age—(Hear, hear)—anct in the time of commotion where is the power that shall bind them to you ? (Loud cheers.) But, after all, the great question is the question of the two Churches in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) It is the question of the Church with the congregation a.nd without the revenue—and the Church with all the revenue and without the congregation.—(Loud cheers.) What do you intend to do with your Church ? There you are silent.—(Loud cheers.) Then I tell you you you have no right to be silent on such a subject.—(Hear, hear.) The subject must have been the theme of your constant consideration. You must have some purpose, and whatever it is you ought to tell it —you are bound to tell it.—(Loud cheers.) Will you grant glebes to our clergy ? I believe they will accept them if offered in a sincere and conciliatory spirit.—( Near, hear.) Will you build Catholic churches ?—(Hear, hear.) Will you augment—really augment—your grant to Maynooth to something like a proportion to the great and sacred ohject it professes to have in view? You say you will do every thing that can reasonably be desired to conciliate and satisfy us, and all the while you are saying this you keep back the proof.—(Loud cheers.) But what course do you intend to pursue with respect to the Es teblished Church ? We are told you won't touch it. Why ? Is it because, as the Right Hon. Recorder for Dublin says, " your Church contains in its own and sole bosom the religious truth."—(Loud laughter and cheers.) Pray, in which portion of your Protestant Church is " the religious truth" embosomed ? Is it in the Church en the north side of the Tweed, or the Church on the south side of the Tweed.—(Tremendous cheers and laughter.) On the north side of the Tweed the " re ligious truth" is Calvinistic—on the south side it is Armenian ; on the north it is represented by the Right Hon. Member for Perth (Mr. Fox Maule)—on the south by the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Oxford (Sir R. Inglis) ; on the north you can recognise " the religious truth" by the plaia black surplice—on the south by the crozier and the mitre-head ; on the north you claim alliance with Geneva—on the south you show a strong family likeness to that celebrated Baby lonian lady who, under the auspices of Pusey, may yet restore you to the ancient pathway of your fathers. — (Great cheering.) But on which-side of the Tweed again I ask you will you take your stand ?—(Great cheering.) I ask my Lord Advocate (Mr. Duncan M'Neil) on which side is the truth ? No answer. Well, perhaps, as the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir James Graham) is a Borderer, he will tell me.—(Shouts of laughter, and applause.) In vain, then, do I ask where I am to search for the truth.—(Cheers.) At all events, whatever the truth may be, your Protestant is not greatly disposed to extend it, but rather prefers to keep it to himself—whilst my Church, from its very rise, has extended itself in every clime and in every region. --(hear, hear.) You keep your Church in a short of ecclesiastical conserva tory, where, by artificial means, you fondle and foster it into strength, no—into weakness; when, by more ro bust and vigorous treatment, you might give to it a fulness, freshness, and vitality you little dream of.— (Loud cheers.) But I will dwell ns longer on the truth of creeds. I will put the question aside. Can you make the Church consistent with principle ? You say you cannot, but I will show you that you can. What have you done with respect to the clergy in Ca dada ? The clergy of Canada were, by Act of Parlia ment, provided with an appropriation—but this appro priation was confined to the Protestant religion. Before the rebellion in Canada, effort after effort was made for the purpose of procuring a better and more national ap plication of the clergy reserves. Until the revolt—that fatal means by which statesmen are to be taught—until the revolt, every effort to apply the clergy reseves in a more judicious manner was made, but in vain. At length you consented to make an appropriation, and to depart from the Act of Parliament—the fundamental Act of Parliament. The Archbishop of Canterbury came down and mid that he deeply felt the necessity of making that chnsige. The Bishop of London said the same thing, and the only man that stood firm to his principles was the Bishop of Exeter—(Laughter)--who said that he objected to the change, because he saw that the Irish Papists would take advantage of it. He was right. The inference was irresistible. You take away a portion of the clergy reserves in Canada from the Protestant clergy, and you give it to the Catholic priesthood ; and at this moment--(here Sir James Graham made some observation across the table which e could not hear)—you do appropriate an amount to be applied to the support of the Catholic clergy. I have got a return from the Noble Lord (Lord Stanley) upon the subject. I moved for a return, and I defy the Noble Lord—l beg pardon for using such language to wards a person so high in office—l call on the Noble Lord to show me that no portion of the clergy reserves is applicable to the payment of the Catholic clergy. The Noble Lord knows it perfectly well. The clergy reserves were applied to the payment of debts contracted on the faith of the Crown. Part of those debts are payments to the Catholic clergy.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord will not deny it. Now, then, how inconsistent is your con li duct with respect to the Irish Protestants. You struck off church-rates in Ireland ; but you did not abolish the prejudices of the people. You struck off eight bishoprics—if you reduced bishoprics. why did you not reduce some of the bene fices ? If there were too many bishoprics, of course there were too many benefices.—(Hear.) In 1838 you commuted the tithes. The Roman Catholic Members did not then ask you to confiscate a single farthing. They asked you to apply the surplus to charitable pur poses—they asked for nothing else. You refused. The Bill was carried by the Whigs but proposed by the Tories. The Gallant Officer, who was then the Se cretary for Ireland—and it should be a Gallant Officer that you ought now to make Secretary for Ireland— (Cheers)—that Gallant Officer proposed a Bill by which one quarter of the tithes would have been confiscated. But no, you put it into the pockets of the landlords ; but why could you not have applied it to charitable pur poses ? You could not have applied the tithes to edu cation. No, you took one quarter from the Church, and put it into the pockets of the landlords. In England, where you have an Established Church, you teach the religion of the people. You gave up the Factory Bill, and you perpetuated ignorance rather than infringe on the prerogative of the Establishment, whilst in Ireland von declare that the Church has no such prerogative. You have stripped the Church of Ireland of the privi lege conferred upon the Church in this country , and you have declared that she is not fit to have the tutorage of the national mind. The state of the Church in Ireland is unexampled by any Church in any country in Europe. Yea, there was one, that was in Poland. The Emperor had issued his ukases, in which he states that Poland is for ever to be united to All the Russias. In these he ex pressed his hope that the fanciful grievances of the Poles would be done away. anti lie expresses his astonishment that his benevolent feelings are not appreciated ; and he says that the establishment of the Greek Church will be an excellent bond of connection between the two coun tries. The Greek hierarchy was to supply the absence of the Polish nobility. We have an almost annual debate with respect to the grievances of the Poles. The Right Hon. Baronet has often declared his wish to pro cure a mitigation of the sufferings of that very interesting nation. But I cannot help thinking that if my Lord Aberdeen were to consult Nesselrode on the subject, he would immediately say " What is your exam pl e with respect to Ireland ?" Since I have spoken of Lord Aberdeen, I must take the opportunity of expressing my unbounded admiration of his foreign policy.—(Laughter.) So long as the Home Secretary shows a belligerent in tention with respect to Ireland, so long does it become Lord Aberdeen to show a mild behaviour and humility. Rightly do you recognise the possession of Algiers— rightly do you look quietly on the state of Spain-- rightly will you sacrifice the treaties of 1831 and 1833, by which the slave-trade was to be suppressed. You say we will rule upon the fidelity of international friendship, and we will obtain peace by the interchange of mere Royal courtesies. You on e t you will c . onfide in the permanence of th e throne of the barricades, which has no foundation in legitimacy on the one hand or prop of liberty on the other.—(Cheers.) The time may come when the Right Hon. B aronet may hare reason to attend to the admonition of the Noble Lord the Member for Sunderland, when he referred to the speech made on Catholic emancipation, to which the Lion. wad Learned Member for Worcester has called titteution. Thaso so perilous topico.—(tears bear.) TEE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1844. JUSTICE TO IRELAND; At a MEETING held at Cleveland-row, Monday, Feb. -nary 19, . 1844, Resolved... That the conduct of tha present Government towards Ireland, in its general policy, and particularly in connection with the late trial of Daniel O'Connell and his fellow-traversers, deserves and demands the most severe reprobation. That equal laws and equal privileges—freedom of discussion—meet ing together to proclaim grievances—agitation by peaceable and legal means—and fair trial by jury—are the birthrights of every subject of the United Kingdom. That the powers brought to bear against these rights in Ireland, although directed against Mr. O'Connell, are equally adverse to the rights of Englishmen. That, in order to show the sympathy of Englishmen with Irish men, and the admiration entertained in this country for the constant and consistent advocate of the rights and privileges of Irishmen during the last forty years, a public dinner be given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P. That Thomas filingsby Duncombe, Esq., M.P. be requested to [ preside on the occasion. to; and after thodisposal of two or three unimportant orders the House adjourned. ately treats the ex-REGENT, and everybody, we are certain, will consider the insurrections of Alicant and Carthagena as ESPARTERIST insurrections, just like 'that attempted at Saragossa and other places, and like the one also which previously concealed itself under the mask of the Central Junta. The character of this rebellion being known, the Government and all good Spaniards must unite to crush it." The Three per Cents. were done at 29 7-16 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20i. Between the mischievous and infatuated tendency to interpose in every foreign quarrel, the advent of which could be detected on the political horizon, that was the besetting and disastrous sin of the PITT po- ]icy, and of the race of imbecile Tory Ministers, who procured toleration for their own insignificance, by succeeding to the name without either the energy or the talent of that great man ;—be tween this morbid excitability an& a wise, vigilant, The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the motion of M. REMUSAT, to exclude placemen from seats in the Chamber of Deputies. It is evidently brought forward by the Opposition as a trial of strength between the parties, and will probably give rise to lengthened discussion. M. TBIERS, who op posed a similar motion when in office, has now changed his mind, and will assist the Opposition in annoying, and, if possible, overturning the GUIZOT Ministry. The Journal des Debats, though confident of success, evidently regards the question as one of much importance, and has two articles on the subject, one of which is to prove that both TniEns and RBMVSAT, in 1840, asserted that the exclusion of public functionaries from seats in the lower Chamber would be dangerous to the institutions of the country. Most of the Opposition journals affect surprise at the silence of the Government organs, relative to the oc cupation of Otaheite, and assert that M. GIIIZOT is sadly embarrassed by the " untoward event." The remarks made in both Houses of Parliament last night, will rather add to his difficulty. It was rumoured at Paris that the Government would not sanction the proceedings of the Admiral. The French funds continued firm, the Three per Cents. closing on Wednesday at 82f. 40e. ; and the Fives at 125 f. 75c. THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21. and prompt alacrity in upholding the legitimate interests and influence of Great Britain in every JAMES COPPOCK. lion. Secretary. region where they have once been asserted and ac knowledged,—there is a middle : course, which we hope and trust it is not Lord ABERDEEN'S purpose to disregard. The statements we have published of recent proceedings at Tahiti, the violent dethronement of the native sovereign, Queen Po- MARE, and the French Admiral's proclamation of their subjection to the authority of Loins Pm- Lurs, are, if the intelligence may be depended upon, of a character to call for much more satis factory explanation than has yet_ been elicited from our Ministers in tither House of Parliament. Sir R. PEEL, last night, in answer to a question from Sir G. GREY, said he greatly regretted what had taken place, and the Government had put itself in communication with that of France on the subject. The question was also brought before the House of Lords by Lord BROUGHAM, and with the same re sult. The Earl of ABERDEEN believed the accounts received were correct, and he had read them with great regret. Lord BitousalLot's remarks will be received with general approbation.

We have not been back ward to secure to large communities of their abori ginal inhabitants the advantages of , i eleinentary edu cation ; and in instructing and advancing them in the arts, resources; and refinements of dirilised existence we have succeeded, to an unusual elfin% in making them distinguish between the incidental vices; and the permanent moral amelioration: likely to be pro duced among them by European - institutions. Of late we' have witnessed with regret the same disposition to usurp or effaceithe records of this British priority in the march of PolYnesian improve ment, which M. DE BOUGAINVILLE Was encouraged by his Government to attempt, in following , out the previous track of that , most illustrious of circumnavi gators, our renowned countryman Captain COOK. This disposition we may deem it Sufficient to de nounce on the score of bad faith and paltry disinge nuousness. But we are apt to fear that this sec on d or third, and it should seem Successful attempt of French encroachment and duplicity on the inde pendence of Tahiti is, not only Morally, but politi cally also, a delinquency of much graver character. In expressing this opinion, we are not disposed to overrate the natural or commercial importance of the territorial position on which the tricoloured flag has been unfurled in token of French sovereignty. Still less are we inclined to form our estimate of that importance from the opinions of the Slide, which regard the acquisi tion as a worthless one. French colonists are proverbially the worst and most unsuccessful in the world. Probably the French journals are far from being competent authorities as to such estimates. It may be—and, indeed, we have no doubt,—that France could not hold Tahiti, or any other island, in those seas, against us, in the deplorable event of a war between Great Britain and France. But this aspect of the probable issue of a distant, and, we firmly believe, a most improbable contingency, cannot diminish the intrinsic value of Tahiti to our commercial and oven to our naval marine, independently of all relations of com merce and trade, as an excellent and indispensable station for the victualling and refitting of our ship ping in these latitudes, anda true land of succour for the re-establishment of their sick and convalescent crews. But to these relations of commerce and . trade,—the whale fishery and sandalwood trade of the neighbouring waters and islands ren der it an entrep6t, and a refuge of the highest importance. For we are led to presume that these once lucrative branches of our proverbial mari time enterprise, especially the whale fishery, are not always to languish and decline, as they now do, under the ignorant administration which still palsies or circumscribes the evolutions of our commercial industry. It is not our deman d, therefore, that the British G o vernment should y pretence territorial rights of a dignity and value of t o vind i cat i ng jusf to that extreme arbi triment in the dista nt Pac ific , which must involve a war in Europe a n d throughout the world between two of the most powerful empires in existence; for no such rights can be predi cated as to this case ;—no such lofty character could be attributed to them, if they were. But we do think, both in reference to the strong claims on English protection which the unfortunate QUEEN pos sesses by her previous relations with British authority, by her friendless position, , by her generous and un abated reliance on British good faith and sym pathy; and, lastly, by the overwhelming dis parity of force to which she has been com pelled to succumb ;—and in reference to what is due to the honour and inviolable reputation of the British flag, outraged (as we unde'rstand the case) by the proceedings of the French 'Commander, in his zeal to distinguish himself by a somewhat theatrical spectacle, in honour of the King of the FRENCH; our Foreign Minister is bound ' to exact explicit and .. ample explanati ons from the Cabinet of the Tuileries. It neither consorts with our national spirit, nor with our nati•nal interests—nor can it be reconciled with the honour of our Gracious SOVERElClx—thai, after the independent though feeble MonarCh of ; a: friendly and interesting people had formally thrown herself on the protection of the British QUEEN, a 'French officer, backed by an insignificant French:naval force, should take upon himself to anticipate; the result of that appeal ; to outrage the character,* liberty, and the rights of the appellant; and to repudiate the majesty and authority of the tribunal to - which her prayer had been carried. But, above , all, why should the mis sionaries, who have done so much good in these islands, be turned adrift, for that must be the result, by the abrupt decision of a;French Admiral ? 1841 Belgian Fives _ 1071 _ _ 1080 .. 101 ..10S0 - 107 f •1080 .. 107 f -1840 ........ 10: o 4 .. 104 ...1091 .. 1091 1842 •••••••• 1101 •• 110/ 1101 .. 1101 Spanish Active • • • • • • •. • 32 .. 321 • • 32 .. 321 Passive ........ • • • . 51` • • • 6 • • 81 • • 6 Old Deferred ..... • • 71 • • if •• 71 • • 71 Portuguese Five per Cents • • 451 • . 45; 451 .. 45f Neapolitan • . • • • • • • • 104 50 . • 104 50 .. 104 .. 104 Roman 106 .. 1061 • • 10G .. 1061 .The Madrid journals pf .the 15th bring no addi tional intelligence from , AliCiant or Murcia. In the meantime some of them comment very freely on the cause of the rising in those quarters, and attribute them chiefly to the ma,chinations of the English. Mr. BULWER, it is said, has made a formal remon strance against these attacks upon England by the Ministrial press, and .very justly, as a French Oppo sition paper asserts, for the subject is one of which the English Ambassador might well take notice, the Madrid journals being at this moment, in con sequence of the state of siege, under the direct con trol of the Ministers, who thus render themselves responsible for the articles which appear in them. Here is a specimen from the Castellano of these vile attacks:—" Let not our readers forget the intrigues and revolutionary schemes that proceed from London, Gibraltar, and Lisbon, and connect themselves with those which are going on at Madrid. Let them re member the landing of the rebels on the. coast of Galicia a few years ago--the humiliation which our young Quzzx has been recently subjected to by her Prime Minister—the support afforded to the most desperate partisans of ESPARTERo—the risings which have simultaneously taken place on the frontiers of Portugal and Spain—and the expulsion from Lisbon of the ex-Minister, °LOW/AA. To all this, let us add the fewplausible pretexts that can be found for rebelling against a young QUEEN who has just as sumed the reins of the State—the significant silence of the Sovereign of England, who aci affection- My conviction is, that if Englen I were to stretch forth her gigantic arm, she would crush, as I trust in God she will ertish, every in= sttrrectitmary movement iii Irtiatia. If Any 8116 move ment frantic 'Matta should be induced to take, what a fearflil cost of treasure, and, what is infinitely more valuable than treasure—human life would be required before treason could be subdued! Well might the Duke of Wellington-- well might the Hero of a hundred battles, have expressed his horror of a civil war. Civil war in Ireland would be be worse than civil war. The demon would have pos session of the nation's heart—the sentiments a hu manity would be excluded - from the hearts of her children. The country would be de luged in blood, and when that deluge had subsided it would be but a sorry consolation to the statesman to contemplate that scene of desolation, and to see the spires of the Establishment still stand ing secure amidst the desolation and solitude that would surround them.—(Loud cheers.) You adjure me on my oath—l swear by the Gospels of God. I adjure you, by every precept contained in these Gospels—in the name of every obligation, divine and human—as men and as Christians, to save your country from the calamities to which I point—to lay aside the spirit of partisanship, and not to permit Ireland to be involved in crime. If you do, the verdict of posterity will be against you; and you will be answerable, not only to your country but to that Judge in whose presence, covered with the blood of civil war fare, it will be more than dreadful to appear. But, Sir, lam not without hope for my country. I trust that Irgand will cease to be what she now is, the arena of fac tion—that animosities will be laid aside, and that we may at length, in common, offer up a fervent prayer to the King of Kings for its speedy regeneration.—(Loud cheers.) I have witnessed, within the last few days, since my return to this country, enough to convince me that the great mass of the community are influenced by kindly feelings towards Ireland.—(Loud cries of " Heart hear," from both sides of the House.) I have heard the most admirable sentiments expressed by gentlemen connected with the present Government by official ties, and by those of friendship. I have also seen that Englishmen—• noble, high-minded Englishmen—can with generous promptitude forgive the man who might be supposed to have done them wrong, and, even upon the mere con jecture that he might have been injured, rush to give ' him succour.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") That this feeling may be appreciated by my countrymen ismy most sincere wish—that it may be the means of gradually producing a national reconciliation, and not only a union between the two countries by such slender ligaments as an Act of Parliament may supply—but that the two countries may be socially, politically, morally, and affectionately united, is the prayer of one who is conscious of many imperfections, but who never was, and never will be, indifferent to the interests of his country, to which he is devotedly attached, and who, so far from desiring the dismemberment of the empire, offers up a prayer as fervent as ever passed from the lips of any of you—that the greatness and power of this mighty empire may be imperishable, and that the glory, the independence, and the liberty of Englishmen may endure for ever! (The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amid loud and vehement cheering, which lasted for several minutes.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the adjourn ment of the debate, which was agreed to.

Their Lordships met this morning at ten o'eloeh, for the purpose of giving * judgment on a writ of error in the case of " the Queen v. Millis." The LORD CHANCELLOR commenced by stating the effect, of a contract or engagement of inistrimon per verba de peastenti previous to the Marriage Act, and cited Swinburne, Sir Edward Simpson, the COutiell of Trent, Mr. Justice Blackstone, and other authorities OR ihßt Subject. The Council of Trent held that all clandestine marriages were null and void ; but the canon law was never adopted as binding hi this country, and the authorities cited showed that a contract tier Verba do prresenti was a valid marriage, and might be unforced against either of the parties. His Lordship the referred to a number of eases, establishing that when a contract per verba de prnsenti was followed by a marriage, solemnised in facie ecclesile, between one, of the parties and another person, the latter marriage was not by pre-contract actually void, bnt merely voidable, and, as a consequence, that if such marriage was not annulled by a sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court in the lifetime of the parties, it could not afterwards be ef fected; but the widow would tak her dower, and the children must be held to be legitemate. The principal incidents of this species of contract were, that the engagement was indis soluble ; that either party might compel solemnization ; that the parties could not be punished for coha biting together; and that such contract was suf ficient to void, by means of a suit, a subsequent marriage entered into by either of the parties, and solemnised in facie ecclesire. This view was supported both by the judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts and the common law authorities. The contract per verba de priesenti was, at the period to which he had referred, to use the expression of Swinburne, "in respect of its constituting the substance and forming the indissoluble knot of matrimony, regarded as verum matrimonia." But the same authorities which sup ported this view held that marriages of this description were irregular ; that they were a looser sort of marriages ; that they were not regular marriages, though equally binding; and that in order to constitute a regular marriage, with all the consequences belonging to marriage in its perfect state, solemnization was necessary. Swinburne said that spousals de priesenti did not produce all the same effects in England as a marriage solemnized in the face of the Church with respect to issue, the husband's property in the wife's goods and other matters. Lord Stowell and Sir Edward Simpson took the same view, and Mr. , Justice Blackstone said that such mar riages were valid for many purposes, but not for all purposes. Upon the point whether a contract, per verba de prmsenti without solemnization, would entitle the widow to dower, the Court below and the Court of Appeal were of the same opinion—they were both against the claim to dower. We had come therefore, to the conclusion that accord ing to the concurrent opinions both of the eccle siastical and the temporal judges, these irregular and loose Sort of marriages did not confer those' rights of property, or the more important right of legitimacy, conse quent on a marriage duly solemnized according to the rites of the Church of England. A great deal of discussion had taken place in reference to the religious ceremony. • It appeared, from the authorities to which he had referred, that it was formerly contidered essential to the full effect of a marriage that it should be solemnized by the Church, and if persons not in holy orders performed the ceremony, they exposed them selves thereby to heavy censure. It was said that a marriage might be valid, though not performed by a person in holy orders conferred by episcopal ordination. In that statement he could not concur. Holy orders were orders conferred by episcopal ordination, and what was required to be done by a minister in holy orders, could not be done by a minister of the Scotch Church. The question was not affected by the Toleration Act, which merely removed certain disabilities, and did not alter the law in this respect. The claim made by the Presbyterians of Ireland could not be supported on any principle which would not equally apply to any body of Dissenters. He respected the character, learning, and piety of Presbyterian Ministers, but this question must not be de termined by any such considerations. Many observations had been made on the marriages of Jews and Quakers. The Jews had always been treated as a distinct people, who were governed by their own religious observances, and had their own matrimonial law. Some difficulty existed as to the case of the Quakers, and Lord Hale, in a case which came before him for decision, in order to avoid making those chil dren bastards, directed the jury to return a special verdict. He saw no ground for altering the view which he had taken on this subject, agreeing, as it did, with what had been laid down by the most eminent civilians, and with the corre sponding doctrines of the Courts of common law, from the earliest periods of their history. Now, he had been led, in consequence of the important nature of the interests involved, to enter more largely into the subject than under other circumstances he would have felt justified in doing. The immediate question before them was, whether George Miller was or was not guilty of the crime of bigamy, and then the question was, whether a contract per verba prai senti was sufficient to support such an indictment. lie de fined what he considered the effect of such a contract to be, and then adverted to the change that had been operatecl s on it by the 13th section of the English Marriage Act, and con cluded an elaborate judgment by saying—" My opinion, therefore, after the most anxious consideration, and on the grounds and reasons I have stated, but still with all deference and respect to those who differ with me on this subject, is that the indictment against the defendant George Millis, for bigamy, cannot be sustained." Lord COPTENHAM, in delivering his decision, said that in the whole course of along professional life, he had never met with so embarrassing a case. The highest names in the history of the law were on this subject opposed to each other. The present inquiry involved a consideration of the state of the law previously to 1753, ninety years since it ceased to exist, and this added a difficulty to the inquiry, which it was of the utmost importance to keep in mind. Before the Council of Trent, a marriage per verba prsesenti was a legal marriage, as it was in Scotland at the present day. At that time England was subject to the canon law, like other coun tries ; but by the 25th of Henry VIII:, the canon law was de clared to have no effect, except so far as it had been adopted by the consent and custom of the people. Sir W. Black stone and Sir M. Hale both laid it down that the canon law only then became part of the comma, or unwritten law. By the Council of Winchester, it was laid down that a marriage without the benediction of a priest in holy orders was not a valid one, and that any other was to be deemed fornication. From the ear liest times the law of England had differed from the civil and canon law, and required the intervention of a person in holy orders to make a marriage valid. He then proved, from an immense mass of authorities, the nature of a contract per verba de prtesenti ; first, such a contract did not give the woman the right of a wife, as far as entitling her to a dower ; secondly, such a contract did not give the man the right of a husband , to the property of the woman ; thirdly, such a con tract did not confer on the issue of the marriage the rights of legitimacy ; fourthly, such a contract did not confer on the woman the capacity of coverture ; fifthly, such a contract did not make the marriage of either of the parties with a third person, during the life of the other, avoid or invalid marriage. Each of these points he supported with cases and decisions. He next stated that though a contract per verba de priesenti was an essential part of a marriage, as between the parties themselves, yet the anthorities spread over a period of 700 years did not hold it to be a valid marriage for all the above purposes, without the intervention of a person in holy orders ; and that person must be one whom the Church considered to be in such holy orders, which no Presbyterian minister could possibly be. He was aware of the difficulties and hardships that the decision might create ; but happily it was in the power of Parliament to remedy those difficulties, and to remove those hardships. They were here for one purpose only, that of laying down the law, and in the per formance of that duty he was bound to declare that the first marriage in the case before them was not a valid one, that therefore the party accused of bigamy, the defendant George Millis, could not legally have committed the offence with which he Was charged. Lord BROUGHAM, after bearing testimony to the abi lity and research displayed in the judgments just read, said. he . should move that the further considera tion of the case be postponed, in order that the judgments of the two Noble Lords might be printed, for the considera tion of the rest of the Law Lords, that they might be com pared with the authorities, on points on which he was yet doubtful how far he concurred with the two Noble and Learned Lords. He contended that the present case af forded a proof of the advantage of the practice he had introduced since he was on the bench, and which he wished was more general, of judges, in cases of importance, delivering written decisions. Lord CAMPBELL also concurred in the suggestion of the Noble and Learned Lord, for the same reasons. The Loan CHANCELLOR consented, and the further consi deration of the case was then postponed. QUEEN'S. BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and a Special Jury.) TITHPIN V. HEALD. In this action Mr. Platt and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Watson for the defendants. It was brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, as Managing Director of the Commercial Assurance Company, to recover the various sums of 5001., 2001., and 2501., on policies of assurance on certain specie, merchandise, and furniture in the ship Theresa, bound from Shields to Rio Janeiro. The pleas on behalf of the defence alleged conceal ment at the time of making the policy—the non-existence of any specie—the non-ownership of the specie,' supposing it had existed—a denial of the loss of the vessel—a denial of her sea-worthiness ; and, lastly, that if any wreck took place, such wreck was not caused by the violence of the elements, but by the misconduct of the plaintiff. The wit nesses for the prosecution were very numerous, but the facts elicited, up to the time at which we write, were briefly these : —that the plaintiff bought the vessel at Hamburgh, whence he brought her over to Shields, had her dry-docked, exa mined, and thoroughly repaired, so as to make her a sea worthy boat. On the 26th of August the Theresa left Shields for Rio, having on board Captain Turpin (the plaintiff) and a crew of eight men. When they arrived off the Galloper they got a ground, and:dropped their anchor. Next tide they got off, and on sounding the pumps, they found that they had made no water whatever, and that the vessel was perfectly " taut." About seven in the morning of the Mat of August, being then off Dun- geness, the vessel . struck again ; and on sounding, they folind two feet eight inches water in the hold. All hands were put to the pumps, and kept hard at work, but the leak gained on them, and so they were at last obliged to throw their boat over the side, and betake themselves' to it. This was about nine o'clock in the evening, the sea running violently, with a heavy gale from the N.W. and W. They were from seven to nine miles from land, and had they attempted to make the French coast, the vessel must have foundered long before they could do so. The captain was the last man to leave the brig, the crew having been in the boat for some time, and they only got him to leave by a threat that if he did not instantly do so they would leave him to his fate. When in the harbour at Shields, the captain was seen to count the sum of 500/. in gold doubloons, to put it into a canvass bag, and to give it in charge to his second mate, who subsequently saw it deposited in a tin box. When the storm was raging, this tin box, with a few clothes of the seamen, a bag of biscuits, a keg of water, and some raw beef, were lying on the deck, and these were afterwards (with the exception of the tin box) stowed away in the boat. When the crew told the captain that unless he left the vessel instantly they would leave him to his fate, he prepared to join them. Just before descending the side of the vessel, he threw this tin box containing the doubloons to the boat, but from the surging of the vessel and the boat, the box missed the boat, fell into the sea, and was seen no more. Before the vessel had been left many Minutes, these shipwrecked men saw her go down head fore most. They pulled for land, and luckily fell in with a fisherman, who took them In tow, and landed them safe at Ramsgate. The captain and his crew immediately went to the proper authorities at that place, and made a declaration of the loss of the brig, and the circumstances attending it. Thus far had the evidence gone ; and there were s till many wit nesses to be examined for the plaintiff. For the defeilc i e many witnesses were likewise in attendanc e. The case at all event's, occupy the attention of the Court all t h e da y, and probably until a very late hour; if , indeed it be not ad journed until to-morrow. -..-...•=1.111••••••• One of the Paris journals (La .Reforme) states that the distress of the lower orders in in P paubliris h c thoroughfares. as recently become So great, that beggars [Para the FIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The first topic brought forward in the House of Lords was on a question put by Lord BROUGHAM, relative to the occupation of Tahiti by the French. The Earl of ABERDEEN had heard of that event with great regret, but he could not yet give the explana tions that the House might require. We have ad verted to this subject in a separate article. Lord MONTEAGLE moved for certain papers re specting the recent appointment to the deanery of Dromore. The Earl of RIPON said he would not oppose the motion. A little uproar then took place in the House, which relieved its usual monotony. The Marquis of WESTMEATII caused the scene, by saying that the words " HOLT WARING" looked as well to this underhand deanery as those of " SPRING RICE" to a pensioned peerage. The Duke of Rtcx- MOND came to the rescue, the Marquis apologised and the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr. LABOUCIIERE stated that he would postpone his motion relative to the trade with Brazil till Thurs day, the 14th of March. Mr, WALLACE also postponed his motion, relative, to the administration of the Criminal Law in Scotland, In answer to a question from Sir GEORGE GREY relative to the occupation of Tahiti by the French, Sir H. PEEL said he believed the French Admiral in the Pacific Seas had taken possession of Tahiti, and that the QUEEN had been deposed. He greatly la mented what had taken place, but he believed the event was not in consequence of instructions from the French Government. The English Government had not communicated .with the French Government on the subject, and he thought the House would see the propriety of waiting the result. Mr. MILES brought up a Bill for the amendment of the laws relative to master and servant. On the Order of the Day being read for resuming the adjourned debate on the state of Ireland, Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to learn whether the debate was to end that evening. He was unfortunately in the position of one of the speakers, and he merely wished to know the sentiments of the House. Several Members called out " to-morrow night," and the ad journed debate commenced. Mr. Mumma O'Con !mu, was the first speaker, and confined his remarks entirely to the Irish State trials, with the exception that the traversers, notwithstanding their conviction, would still agitate for repeal. Mr. GREGORY opposed the motion. Mr. BELLEW supported it. Mr. LID DELL paid a high compliment to the administration of the Marquis of NORMANBY, but at the same time congratulated the Tory party on their triumph of argument, and had no doubt also he should have to congratulate them on the result of the division. Mr. Hums considered that the Irish Attorney- General had utterly failed in his explanation. He then adverted to the grievances of the Irish nation, and chiefly to the grievance of a Protestant Esta blishment in a Catholic country. He would apply the Church property to the education of the people, and leave every man to pay his clergyman as he paid his doctor. Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. C. POWELL, and Sir H. DOUGLAS followed. Mr. SHELL then rose, and addressed the House for nearly three hours, in a speech remarkable for its searching bitterness of reproach as to the conduct of the State trials. lie denounced the Tory policy with regard to Ireland in a strain of withering sarcasm, which elicited the cheers and counter cheers of either side ; and concluded with a peroration as eloquent and impassioned as it was pa triotic and sublime in the highest degree. Indeed we never heard one more fervidly spoken, nor more generously and enthusiastically received. The House acknowledged by their sympathy that, while Mr. Seim felt as an Irishman, he spoke as a Briton.

The increase is caused chiefly from diseases of the lungs. The aver age is 330, while last week the number was 448 ; of these 47 were carried off by bronchitis (inflamma tion of the throat), average 19 ; by pneumonia (in flammation of the lungs) 133, average 91 ; consumption 170, average 146. In epidemic diseases, also, there is a considerable in crease. The total number during the week being 207, and the average 170. The excess in the deaths under this head is chiefly from small-pox 29, average 21; measles 28, average 19 ; scarlatina 43, average 25. Deaths from hooping-cough are on the decrease. Of the 29 persons who died of small pox, 19 had not been vaccinated. The number of violent deaths is 27, and of these only two are suicides, the greater proportion arising from accident, and chiefly from burns. According to the meteorological observations taken at the Greenwich Observatory, the thermometer was lowest on the 14th, 21.2 degrees, and highest .on the 17th, 47 degrees. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, the sales were 4,000 bales, all to the trade, and at previous rates. In the Share Market prices were still drooping.

Much satisfaction has been produced in mercantile: circles at the notice given by Mr. Labouchere, of his intention to bring forward that most important question—the commer cial relations between this country and the Brazils—and, however important the debates respecting Ireland may be, still the 'postponement of the motion, even but for a limited period, upon this topic caused some regret in the City this morning. All the returns and compilations relative to our exports of manufactured goods exhibit a great fall ing off in our trade with the Brazils. We may give one illustration. The exports of yarn and cotton manufac tures to the Brazils and other parts of South America, in 1837, were 108,521 lbs. • in 1841, but 15,503 lbs. • and last year only 5,616 lbs.

There are not any colonial arrivals of interest in the City this morning. Although the Government broker took 20,0001. Consols this morning at 978, the price has since fallen. The cause of the reaction in some quarters is assigned to the official confirma tion in Parliament to the occupation of Tahiti by the French Admiral, and the dethronement of Queen Pomare. None but a Bear speculator in Consols would dream that a casus belli would arise with France and this country, as no doubt her Majesty will be re stored after a period. The reaction in the Funds is more to be attributed to the state of the Censol Account, the settlement of which is fixed for Tuesday next.
