ti l rEA! o A o WITh FRANCE. rWe quote the following interesting account of the pro gress of Steam Navigation from the Morning Herald. We wish that a vessel similar to the Ondine, with a screw-pro peller, had been among the daring competitors.—ED. Sun.] Great competition at present eists between the ports of Dover and Folkestone as:to rapidity of communicatian with the French coast. The South-Eastern Railway Company having made Folke stone a principal station, and improved its harbour, several fine iron steamers were built and regularly connected with it ; namely, the Princess Alice, the Princess Mary, the Princess Maude, and the Queen of the Belgians, which last vessel was launched only a few months ago. Each of these, in the order stated, was an improvement upon the former one, and was considered the fastest steamer in the world, until at length the Dover people, determined not to be out done, induced the General Steam Navigation Company to send down the Magician, also an iron steamer, to ply between that port and Boulogne. The Magician has since proved her self equal in speed to the best of the Folkestone boats. Another iron steamer has lately been launched, named the Ondine, to run on alternate days betwixt Dover and Bou logne, with the Magician ; and a very lively interest has been created along both coasts as to whether the palm of speed belonged to the Dover or the Folkestone boats. On the 2d instant, the Ondine, in going from Dover to Boulogne for the Indian mail, on account of the Morning Herald, accomplished the run, thirty miles, in one hoar and silty-one minutes, the quickest passage, we believe, ever made. The inhabitants of Dover, Folkestone, and Boulogne were on the qui rive, as it was known that a trial would take place betwixt the Ondine and the Queen of the Belgians, which was waiting at Boulogne for the Indian mail on ac count of the Times. On that occasion the Queen of the Belgians performed the distance in one hour and fifty-three minutes, beating the Outline by sixteen minutes ; but the cause of this apparent superiority was an accident to the Ondine's machinery, one of the slides having Driven way. But as on the previous day the Ondine had made the voyage in two minutes less time— namely, in one hour and fifty-one minutes, it was resolved by the owners that as soon as her machinery was repaired, another trial of speed should take place on the first oppor tunity. . . . Ev'erything having been set to rights on board the Ondine, by the 13th instant, she proceeded on that day from Dover to Boulogne, to try her qualities with the Princess Maude, which vessel has hitherto had the reputation of being the fastest boat on the station. The following account of the interesting trial has been transmitted to us by eye-witnesses. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) " The Outline was put into the Roads this morning, and went over to Boulogne to meet the Princess Maude, and met her accordingly about half an hour after she had left Bou logne. The weather was thick at the time, the wind blow ing fresh ; she was, however, made out, the Ondine being to the windward of her. The Ondine bore down and hoisted her red flag of defiance. She took her station about a cable's length behind the Maude. Some few minutes elspsed before it could be told which of the vessels would prove the victor. The Maude had her staysail and foresail set. The Ondine soon set two sails also. In ten minutes the competitors were pad dle-box and paddle-box, and in twenty minutes the Ondine was so far ahead that she actually put the Maude into her wake. The Ondine proceeded on to Folkestone, and when within about a cable's length of that harbour she hove to in sight of all the Folkestone people, who had apparently as sembled to witness the issue. In eight or ten minutes the Maude passed close to the Ondine's stern, and went into the harbour. Knowing that she had to land her passengers and return to Boulogne, the Ondine waited, standing off and on, till she backed out ; and when she had got her head right for Boulogne, and considerably ahead of the Ondine, the latter once more started after her, when a most interesting struggle took place. The Ondine, however, was soon again paddle-box and paddle box with her op ponent ; the sea was very rough, and, apparently, the Maude at times shipped a great deal of water ; the On dine threw it off both sides of her paddle-boxes. When sufficiently ahead of the Maude, so as to run no risk, the Ondine crossd her bows and went round her ! thus demon strating, a second time, the great superiority in speed of the Online over the Princess Maude. Both the City of London and Magician, in crossing to and from Bou logne and Dover, saw the trial, and bore to each place the news of the Ondine having gone twice round the Maude in so short a distance. It is the general opinion that the Prin cess Maude is superior to the Queen of the Belgians ; and nautical men, who witnessed the sight, declare that it was worth a Queen's ransom to witness these two fleet coursers of the deep flying through the waves—sometimes over, some times under—at the rate of 17 and miles per hour : (e'nosi ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) I have only a few minutes to spare, but I employ them in giving you an account of an interesting trial of the qualities of the Ondine. Her engines having been put in good order, she left this place (Dover) this morning, with the intention of having a fair trial with the Princess Maude (the Queen of the Belgians beini , laid up at Folkestone), and, proceeding towards the French Coast, the Ondine met the Maude coining from Boulogne, and not far distant from that port. )n nearing her the Ondine put about and waited until the Maude was in a line with her, starting with scrupulous fairness. It was soon seen that the Ondine was going ahead ; and in a run of 1 hour and 21 minutes beat her seven minutes ; this was with a brisk gale, and the wind on the larboard quarter, two sails being set on board of each vessel. It was known on board the Ondine that the Princess Maude would return to Boulogne; so the Oudine waited off Folkestone, and again started fairly with her against the same brisk gale and heavy sea ; wind on the starboard bow ; but the Ondine being to windward of the Maude, the latter had the advantage of shelter, to a certain extent, by being in the former's lee; and for a time, in cow,equence, the Outline did not seem to have much superiority ; but when she bad gained enough headway to leave the Maude com pletely exposed to this influences of the wind and sea, the Ondine's advantage became nearly as apparent as before, arid in three-quarters of an hour from starting astern of her opponent the Ondine crossed the Maude's bow and returned to : Dover ; thus settling the question both of speedantisea: going qualities When running head to wind I never saw anything, so animating, nor, to my mind, so strikingly full of interest; the Princess Maude having been at times com pletely covered with broken water or spray, hissing, and, to appearance, converted into clouds of steam or smoke as it dashed against the funnel. The Ondine had her share of spray, and some of the persons on board got completely wet through ; yet, what wonder when the speed and the weather arelaken into account." This splendid little vessel, the Ondine, was built and fitted with machinery by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., of Blackwall ; and her superiority has been fairly proved, as our correspondent remarks, both as to speed and sea-going qualities. And it must not be forgotten that the experiment has been made with a vessel from the experienced bands of Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare, of Blackwall, who, no question, avished upon her their utmost skill. But it remains to be told that the engines of the Ondine are two fifties only, while those of the Princess Mary are, at least, twenty horse power more. The Princess Mary, the Princess Alice, and the Queen of the Belgians, were all constructed by Messrs. l)itchburn and Mare. We hare gone into the details of this contest, because the public at large, as well as the inhabitants of Dover, Folke stone, and Boulogne, possess a deep interest in the wonderful progress of steam navigation. PARKS AT MANCHESTER. INTERVIEW WITH SIR ROBERT PEEL. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The deputation, appointed by the public parks, &c.. Fotnnaittee to proe,ed to Loudon, in order to have an interview with the Premier, consisted of Alexander Kay, Esq., mayor of Manchester, (the chairman of the committee), Mr. Alderman Watkins, and Messrs. Mal color Ross and Edward W. Watkin, the honorary se cretaries of the public parks, &c., committee. At the appointed hour on Wednesday the deputation had an interview with Sir Robert Peel, and were accompanied by the following Members of Parliament Entwisle, Esq., Thomas Milner Gibson, E•q , Joseph Brotherton, Esq., and Thomas Wyse, Esq. It is much tai be regretted that Lord Francis Egerton and Mr. Mark Philips, M.P., were both prevented attending (as they had expressed a desire and intention to be present) by sf vere indisposition. The deputation having been Introduced to Sir Robert Peel by William Entwisle, Esq., M.P. : The M.tvolt concisely- recapitulaicd the peculiar claims of Manchester for the specified object, as detailed iu a memorial and statement forwarded to Sir Robert Peel on the previous day, by the honorary secretaries, of which the following are the heads : The result of the subscription has been, that the fund now amounts to 30,7461. 17s. 3d. contributed by 3,318 persons of all clasz.es, in sums, varying from 6d. to 1,0001.; a larger amount perhaps than was ever before raised by voluntary donations for local objects, iu any town or city in the kingdom. Of this sum, 116,000/ is already paid into bankers' hands. Tu make the undertaking efficient, it is absolutely ne cessary to have — A park, promenade, and play-ground, on each of the sides of the town. To erect (where eligible buildings do not exist) rooms for refreshment and shelter. To provide seats and benches in abundance. To construct fountains pith a plentiful supply of pure water. And to lay out the grounds in the most attractive way From the plots offered to the Committee, there have b ri c a e l n , select e d, as most desirable, land, &c., suff i c i ent to public pl aces . Th e nort h ern one ( p i n k) con tains 170,000 souls ; the southerly (blue) about 130,000. Th e population of the former consists very greatly of factory operatives and others who especially need s for - recreation ; that o f th e l a tt e r comprises large nul e e n r s of the labouring with o th e r classes, but it i s rot so dense The conversati ona l nature. of the interview prevents a detailed statement of what took place ; but the result was that Sir Robert Peel urged the smallness o f th e sum at the disposal of Go vernment for such namely, 8,000/., the residue of a grant of 10,000 r made in s_ and that he could not, " at present, " ask Parliament f or a further grant, as reaion s ( w i t h several other minor ones) for recommending a gra nt o f 3,0001, frompresent fund, on condition that a Government surveyor be sent down to inspect its dispo sa l, an d that 3 0,001. of the sum subscribed be actually paid up. The smallness of the proposed grant took the depu tation by surprise, and was strongly argued against , and the Mayor finally stated th a t th e sum was so inade quate to the requirements of the district, and would, he feared, be so unsatisfactory to the population of which he was chief magistrate, that lie did not feel warranted without consulting those by whom the de putation was sent, in exposing Manchester to the degradation of appearing to require so small a sum, and begged that he might be allowed to write to Sir Robert Peel in reference to his proposal. Sir ROBERT PEEL expressed himself satisfied with the course proposed to be taken ; and the deputation broke up after an interesting discussion, which lasted forty minutes. [We understand that Mr. Entwisle, and all the other members of the deputation, highly approved of the de claration of the Mayor ; and we have no doubt that a similar opinion will pervade the whole community.] FAST TRAVELLING.—As an instance of the extraor dinary facility of communication between this town and the metropolis, we have authority for stating that yesterday . (Friday) a gentleman left London by the Great 1% estern at half-past nine, roc, stopped ten minutes at Exeter, and reached Devonport, by the Tally-ho, at live minutes past seven, A.M. ; -thus performing the entire distance in little more than nine hours !—Devonport Independent. MEETING IN FAVOUR OF THE GRANT TO MAYNOOTIL A numerous and respectable meeting of English Romah Catholics was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Gm' Queen-street, fir the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favou_ of the grant to Maynooth College. The meeting was convened by an advertise ment, bearing the names of the Earl of Arundel and surrey, Lord Shrewsbury, Lord Camoys, Lord Beaumont, Lord Stourton, Lord Petre, Lord Stafford, and Messrs. Charles Langdale, Edward Petre, H. V. Stafford Jerningham, and John Towneley, )LP., most of whom were observed amongst the gentlemen on the platform. The chair was taken a few minutes before twelve by the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, on the motion of Lord Casnoys, seconded by Lord Beaumont. The Cissramax, previous to opening the business of the meeting, stated that he had received a communication from that venerable nobleman, Lord Stafford, who expressed regret that he would not be able to attend on that occasion. Lord Shrewsbury, the Noble Chairman added, was also unable to attend. Mr. LANGLEY, the Secretary, read the following letter from Lord Shrewsbury. He did not place it in the hands of the Noble Chairman, because he was afraid the Noble Earl would abstain from reading the concluding part of the note:— •` Alton Towers, April 13, 1845. " Dear Mr. Langdale.—Unable to attend the:meeting which you have been good enough to inform me is convened for Tuesday next, I beg you will have the goodness to express my great regret at the circumstance, as well as my most cordial assent to the meeting's objects and intentions ; and upon this point I need not say more than express my perfect and heartfelt concurrence in the sentiments so ably and honestly expressed by your noble chairman in his place in Parliament on Friday last.—l remain, dear Mr. Langdale, very truly and faithfully, yours " SHREWSBURY." The Noble CWAIRMLN then proceeded to introduce the imme. diate business of the meeting. He said—Gentlemen, we have met here for the purpose of expressing :our sympathy on the oc. casion of a measure of great benefit being brought forward by her Majesty's Government, for the relief of our Catholic brethren in Ireland.— (Cheers.; Gentlemen, for nearly fifty years, the nursery of the Irish Catholic clergy has been the College of Maynooth, furnishing almost the entire number of the clergy in Ireland. Gentlemen, I intend, very briet3y, to lay before you the reason of our meeting here to-day. It is not, however, my intention to enter into a defence of the much-maligned Mayneoth, because the pure and spotless character of the Irish Catholic clergy is too well known to need any defence from me.—(Loud cheers.) Her Majesty's Government, with every liberal and generous feeling, and a very liberal and generous speech on the part of the Prime Minister, have introduced a measure which has been received with ecstacy in Ireland from one end to the other. Feeling, as we do, a strong sympathy with our fellow Catholic subjects iw Ireland, it would not be decent, it would not be becoming, if we did not now come forward to show that we sympathise with them; and for that purpose, and with that view, we have met hereta day to petition Parliament that the Bill, which has already made some progress, may be passed into a law. For that purpose a series of resolutions has been prepared, which Noble Lords and gentlemen will have the honour of laying before you for your con. sideration and approval. Gentlemen, I will not detain you further than to say I am happy to see so numerous and respectable a meet- mg. I will therefore conclude by calling upon my Lord Camoys to move the first resolution. Lord CAMOYS said be last year had the honour of presiding at a meeting of the English Catholics for the purposeof expressing their disapprobation of the course pursued by the Government towards the Irish Roman Catholics, and now they were met to display their approbation in favour of the present Administration, in consequence of the measure now proposed for the benefit of the Roman Catholics of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) But they could not help at the same time expressing their re gret that there should be a necessity for disapproving of the feel ing which has been excited in England against this Bill. They confounded a grant for the education of the people of Ireland with a grant to the priesthood. He himself was in favour of the vo. luntary principle.—(Cheers.) It was argued also against this Bill, that it was a violation of conscientious feeling; it was not that feeling which prompted them to oppose this measure—it was an intolerant spirit towards the Church of Rome—(Hear)—and an ig norance of its tenets that brought forth this display of intolerance and bigotry. Why did they feel a scruple in supporting this grant now, when that principle, if it were a principle, was long since violated, by their paying the Roman Catholic clergymen out of the public funds, for teaching the paupers in the poor-houses in Ireland ? (Cheers.) It was also argued that the English should not contri bute to the support of an establishment to educate the clergy of the Roman Catholics in Ireland. He would ask who had a bet ter right to support the clergy, than those who had long since plundered the Roman Catholics !of Ireland ?—(Cheers.) What would they say if they found establishments without at tendants ? They would rejoice that they were not Englishmen to share in such adu grace. One word as to the policy of this grant. He did not think that there ever had been a majority in either House of Parliament which was not in favour of this grant—and it was good policy to unite the strength of the whole countty to preserve domestic peace and defy foreign invasion. But if there was one thing that excited the gratitude of the country it was the way in which the grant was made, and Sir Robert Peel might feel assured that he would not be disappointed in his expectations of the readiness with which the Irish people would acknowledge the benefit he had conferred. Other concessions had been made, but they had been trammelled with conditions which took away from the value of the boon; but in this instance the Premier had had the wisdom and the goodness to confer this grant without a condition which impeded the ad vantage. of the gift. Sir R. Peel might be assured that such a grant as this would excite a different feeling, and if he accom panied her Majesty as he (Lord Camoys) hoped he would accompany her, he would find the grateful exclamation of the people for himself mix with the plaudits for her Majesty. The people of Ireland were aware of their value in the British empire—they had rights, and those rights they were determined to obtain, and if they did not obtain them the people of this country oppressed and wronged them. And in the lines of Captain Rock, he might say 1— " As long as millions shall kneel down To ask of thousands fur their own— So long as thousands turn away, And to the millions answer nay, So long the merry reign shall be Of Captain Rock and his family." With these remarks he would move the first resolution : " That the English Catholics in communion with all of every nation of the Holy Catholic Church in communion with the See of Rome, are deeply interested in whatever affects any portiou of the visible church of Christ on earth, whether far good or evil. That if they iegard even the most distant and widely separated of their holy church with such feelings of affection and brotherhood, how much stronger is the claim of their Irish Catholic fellow subjects upon their sympathy and interest." His Lordship sat down amid loud and protracted cheering. The Rev. Mr. SISK, after paying a compliment to the Chair. man, said that he had read the excellent speech of Mr. Macaulay, in which he reprobated the shabbiness with which the grant to the Irish Church had hitherto been made. Now he (Mr. Sisk) felt that this grant was not a concession to the Roman Catholics, but a first acknowledgment of the rights which they possessed—a sprinkling of justice through the long train of injury to which they had been so long subjected. It should not be forgotten that the whole population of this country consisted of 24,000,000 of indi. viduals, and out of these more than 8,000,000 were Roman Catholics, who bore their share of the taxation of the country, and who were as good and as faithful subjects of her Majesty as any other portion of the people. And if the Protestants of this country conceived that there was any objection to the endowment of the Catholic Church, the Roman Catholics, with equal truth, objected to the endowment of the Protestant Church. The Rev. Gentleman then cited another extract from Mr. Macaulay's speech, in which he corn. pared themunificent endowments of Oxford and Cambridge with the Do.the.boys Hall, which with scanty and parsimonious niggardliness, the Parliament had hitherto fancisd they had endowed the Ca tholics. He (Mr. Sisk) would not follow the bad example of those who, with a profession of charity on their lips and hypocrisy in their hearts, vilified the holy religion which the Roman Catholics pro fessed, but he would say this, that the Roman Catholic subjects of this country were behind no body of men in the excellence of their lives, the extent of their attainments, and the worth of their principles. The Rev. Gentleman sat down very loudly cheered. Lord BeAUMoNT rose with great pleasure to respond to the call to move the second resolution : " That this meeting of the English Roman Catholics having seen a Bill that has been introduced into Parliament by her Ma jesty's Government, which, if passed into a law, will be productive of great benefit to their Catholic fellow-countrymen in Ireland, are anxious to express their sincere gratitude to her Majesty's Go. vernment for the introduction of the Bill, and also for the liberal, kind, and generous feelings expressed on that occasion by the First Minister of the Crown." Those who imagined that the grant was simply a vote of some 28,0001. or 30,0001. for the support of the Irish Catholic priesthood were grievously mistaken. Instead of its being such a vote, it was the commencement of a series of great measures for bettering the con dition of the great body of the people of Ireland, and on that account it behoved them to use their best endeavours to remove the scruples and objections of the opponents of the grant. At the same time he must confess that he was convinced those persons who opposed it were sincere in their opposition. He was personally acquainted with meaty of them, and he could truly say those he did know were men of high moral integrity and spotless charazter. Nur did they oppose the grant because it was ext ravagant in a pecuniary point of view, but because they believed it was at variance with the faith they professed. They looked upon the Roman Catholics as professors of error, and were desirous there fore of convincing them of the truth of their own religious prin. ciples. On the other hand, those noblemen and gentleman who had called that meeting looked upon the opponents of the grant as the victims of error. Were they then to be deterred from doing all they could to obtain this grant ? Certainly ❑ot. They were acting in accordance with the dictates of their own consciences, and their support of the measure was no more unjust or objectionable than the warm and enthusi. antic declarations and protests of its opponents.—(Hear, hear.) He would again read the resolution, and hoped that whoever would second it would make use of any necessary remarks which he might have omitted. The Noble Loid concluded by proposing the resolution. . The Hon. Euw ►RD PETRG, in seconding the resolution, said - - - - - that as he laboured under indisposition he would be excused from going into those topics alluded to by his Noble Friend who pre- ceded him. Whatever they might think of the voluntary system, this movement was solely against the religion of the people of Ire land. It was nothing but prejudice and calismny that had excited this opposition against this most beneficial measure. He could truly say that he would support every measure tl at would tend to alleviate the wrongs of Ireland, and would tend to cheer its pros pects.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and unanimously carried. Lord EDWARD HOWARD then rose to propose the following resolution:— " That this meeting deeply regrets the tone assumed at this time by too many of their Protestant fellow-subjects. That they feel much sorrow when they see unfounded—they fondly hoped, forgotten—charges renewed aoainat them. But, often as those charges have been successfully refuted, they feel their best return for calumny—which, they hope, has arisen from misapprehension— is the charity and patience inculcated by their Church." The Protestant to M aynooth was chiefly opposed by two classes — the and conscientiously on religious measures, and to whose opinions he looked with great deference—and the other class were support. With re those who dissented were contravened by those of e ga w r e d re to i t n h favour of from the Established Church in this country, arid who were was a grant which wasthe voluntary system of went in Ireland, and continued an former, he felt that their arguments given byit% Roebuck, who stated that this and now liament in England, t w h a a s nu a t bou h t e to be b l e iev in ed creas th e a d t exclusively Protestant Parka. There were, no doubt, an immense number it by an exclusively Protestant Par. but of England to Parka. same vrinciple, of petitions presented from were very little more than meat against this those petitions,y measure , not,l,eisne n reality, n th th ey e they would find that there was r came to look at the signaturespap",for when the of the feeling of the countrysuch a great extent opposed this grant on the ground of the voluntary system, Those who a very poor case in their favour in Ireland, b ry system, had but a Presbyterian Church Establishment, as also because there was there the Church Esta blishment of England, which he did not think a against a grant to the education of the priestrdofargument Ireland,Therefore he would say, associated as he was w i t h them, very sorry to find there should be se great a s ensat i on a g ;C nat he was m i a the Catholic religion. He did not think that there was any could justly tax the Catholic body with disloyalty. For himself, who mself and the Catholic body in general, he repudiated any such charge if it were made. It was constantly inculcated from their pulpits that they should pay a proper and right obedience to the autho. cities and the laws under which they lived.—(Hear, hear.) Such were the tenets which they were taught by their religion, and he trusted that the People of England would shortly see that this grant was founded In wisdom, and that it would be a means of combining all classes of the community in one common bend of unity and amity; and he felt assured that in the case of any civil commotion—which heaven keep from us—there would be no reason to fear that the Catholic body would prove a source of weakness. Such being the case, it must be far from the opinion of any well-informcd person that the Catholics of this country would prove disaffected to the Government, if their rights w ere duly and fairly considered. He deprecated any imputation that the Catholics wished evil to the Established Chianti, or any other institution of this country. He was an Englishman, and he felt proud of being connected with a country which was, unques. tionably, the first in the world. They could not be more loyal or well disposed than they were now, and more affectionate than they were now, to their beloved Queen ; and if they did not exactly obtain all that they could desire they looked for. ward to better times, and be trusted that the experience of their Protestant fellow-countrymen would induce them to look upon them with grouter charity and more right feeling; and with this hope he would move the resolution which had been put into his hand. The Hon. CHARLIS CLINEORD rejoiced to see one of the family of Howard engaged in this demonstration of fealty to his Church and charity to his fellow subjects; and he would congratulate the meeting also on this opportunity of showing to the world that the principles of their Church were principles of kindliness and justice, and that obedience to the laws and affection fur the Sovereign were as rife in the bosoms of the Catholics of Ireland as in those of any other inhabitants of the empire. He congratulated the Prime Minister on the progress he had already made in this great and well-advised measure; and notwithstanding the 113 petitions of Mr. Hindley, and all the opposition which it had met with, he trusted it would be carried out to a successful conclusion, for it would be carrying out the dearest wish of his heart. To him, who was one of a family who had never swerved from the re. ligion of their forefathers, there was no snore earnest wish than to see Ireland happy. He knew that those imputations which had so frequently been thrown upon their religion would in time die away, and he rejoiced at this opportunity of bearing his testi mony to the truth and the charity of that religion, which was al ways an agent in promoting loyalty and truth. It was a religion which taught the fulfilment of all public as well as all private du ties—this it was that taught the Catholic soldier to bear the brunt of the battle, and fight in his country's cause the way to victory—(Hear, hear)—this it was which taught the Catholic sailor to tread the deck with firniness and devotion, and to bear to battle and to conquer in his country's cause. Rejoicing as he did in the charitable terms of this resolution, and trusting that it might trove in some degree instrumental in removing the erro neous impression of many in this country with respect to the na tune and spirit of the Catholic religion, he gave it his cordial sup port. The Hon. CHARLES LANGDALE, in moving the adoption of a pe. tition to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the grant, de clared that his Catholic brethren in Ireland ought to be grateful to her Majesty's Government for the boon they had given to them, and expressed a hope that the complete and full adoption of the grant by Parliament would not lead to the catastrophe which some of its opponents had predicted. He alluded to the sacrifice of certai.i Members on the Moor of the House of Commons.—(Laughter.) The Church in Wand originally belonged to the Catholics, and he was therefore far from objecting to the grant, but he trusted it would not be taken as a precedent for making future grants to endow other sects. lie did not object to the expression of opinion on the part of the opponents of the grant; but what necessity was there for their going out of their way to heap abuse and calumny on the Roman Catholic religion ? How different had been the spirit which pervaded their own proceedings that day. Were the speeches of those Noble Lords and gentlemen who had preceded !aim tainted with the bigotry and illiberality of their opponents, who held forth at Ex eter Hall? God forbid that they should be.—(Cheers.) Far be it from them to imitate their opponents. Let them rather pursue a directly different course, and endeavour, by calm and persuasive arguments, to convince their Protestant fellow.subjects that their opposition was uncharitable, and not by violence and abuse widen the gap which existed between the members of the two 1 ersuasions. He would conclude with moving— " That a petition be drawn up in the usual form for present'stion to both Houses of Parliament, acknowledging with gratitude the progress already made in the Bill, and most earnestly praying thou to pass and carry it into a law. The Hon. Mr. STaevoao JERNINGUAM, in seconding the resa. lotion, expressed a hope that the Premier would pay more attention to Lord Sandon, the Noble Member for Liverpool, than to Mr. M` Neill, the rev. incumbent of St. Jude's. He recollected seeing a sen tence which was framed by this rev. incumbent placing her Majesty's name in a very unfortunate juxta-position with the name of Jezabel and when brought up to explain it, he statul that, by her Majesty, he meant the Roman Catholics.—(Laughter.) He meant nine_ twentieths of the civilised portion of the world. That there were ten thousand petitions against the measure was a circumstance rather untoward at first view, and upon which he looked with the highest respect, but justice they had a right to—(Cheers)— and when such sentiments as those put forth by the rev, incumbent of St. Jude's, were expressed, they could not be treated with any other feeling than that of indigna tion.—(Cheers.) His Honourable Friend who preceded him proposed a tour through Ireland; he could say that he had anticipated him by having already made that tour And he denied that there was in Mayhooth that waut of cultivation, or that absence of humane conduct which had been:so frequently imputed to them ; for example, he would state that he never met a more finished. gentleman, or a more perfect scholar, than Dr. Dengan, who had been a Professor of that Col. lege, and had now become a Bishop. For this measure, as a religious measure, he did not care, for, when they were not able to force their opinions from three millions of Roman Catholics, how could they expect to suppress the opinion of seven millions ?—(Loud cheers.) It was impossible that they could alter their principles by this grant now.—(Hear.) He could not sit down without stating that If Englishmen insulted their Irish fellow-countrymon by withholding this grant, he, as an Englishman, should shudder at the consequences. He cordially supported the resolution moved by his Hon. Friend, and thanked the :nee ting for their patient attention. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant EiiLL thought it his duty, as a Catholic resident in Londen, to express his thanks to her Majesty's Government for the first occasion on which they had shown any disposition of conciliation towards their Roman Catholic fellow-sub. jccts. The resolution he held in his hand needed no recommendation from him. It was that their Noble Chairman, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Ise requested to present the petition to the House of Commons, and that his Noble Father be requested to support the Bill when it reached the House of Peers. When he recollected that, through all the struggles of the last 20 or 30 years, the grandfather of their Noble Chairman had ever been in the front of the contest, and that the noble house had ever been foremost in bearing their testimony to the faith that is in them, he felt that no resolution could have been confided to him which could have met with a more cordial re sponse in his feelings. When tie looked at the speech of the Noble Chairman in the House of Commons last Friday, he was assured that there could be no better representative of the Catholic body in England; and be trusted that when the Bill was again brought before the House he would repeat the same manly con duct ; and he did conceive that the Noble Lord, and those who had acted with him in what was called the Opposition, if the country were doing nothing that in any way derogated from their characters as public men in giving their support to the Mi nister of the day against the factious large minority at his back. He remembered when the Prime Minister wer.t to the Guildhall to be invested with the freedom of the City of London, he had stated that the Catholic Emancipation Bill should never, if he could help it, remain a dead letter, but that it should become a real charter of liberty to his Roman Catholic fellow-subjects ; and he (Mr. Sergeant Shee) did feel that it was their duty to give him the whole of their support. Whets he looked at the way in which the Opposition was giving all their support to Sir Robert Peel, when Lord John Russell could, if he had pleased, on this measure, have put the Minister out of power, he did say that the Opposition were entitled to their very best thanks. He had heard it asserted that when they obtained this gra.st, they were pledged to look for no ulterior mea sures ; but when he looked at the endowments of Winchester and Harrow, and the other great esta. blishments of the country, he thought that there was no reason why, after having obtained this grant, they should look to further endowments for their Church ; and he agreed with the Noble Lord who spoke to one of the early resolutions, and who said that it was idle to suppose that this measure was to end with the grant of a few thousands to May nooth—something more than this : and he felt that Edmund Burke was right when he said that the Catholic Church ought to be supported as a good, and not tolerated as an inevitable evil, and he was 'assured that if Sir Robert Peel were to forsake those prin ciples of Conservatism, of which every body seemed now ashamed, and followed a course which was just to all pasties in the State, he would find as much support from the Roman Ca tholics as from any other body in the empire. They were there to refute the assertions of those who with Machievelian machinations wished to make it appear that the Catholics of England were indifferent to, or ungrateful for this boon to Maynootb. With these observations he begged to move that the Earl of Arundel and Surrey be requested to present the petition to the Hons.: of Commons, and that the Duke of Norfolk be requested to present it to the House of Lords. Mr. C. Dociquir had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He thought they ought to support Sir Robert Peel on this occasion, because it appeared to him that the Right Hon. Baronet had taken the first step towards giving justice to Ireland. How could those who a short time ago voted 7,0001. for the Catholic schools in Ireland oppose this grant ?—(Cheers.) The Chairman having vacated the chair, and Lord Camoys taken his place, Mr. HOWARD, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to the Earl of Arundel and Surrey for the able manner In which the Noble Earl had presided over the meeting. The Hon. Member thought the meeting would have two objects. It would convince the Government that they were grateful for the measure, and chew its opponents that they could support the grant and resist their efforts without any acrimonious spirit. Mr. Wm. „Tomes seconded the motion, and it was afterwards car. ried by acclamation. The Earl of ARUNDEL and Suaamr subsequently acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting terminated. The Earl of Cardigan has purchased the Royal Yacht Squadron cutter Reindeer, 100 tons, from Mr. Spencer de Horsey. This vessel was formerly the property of the late Mr. John Moore (an old member of the Club), who by his will be queathed it to Mr. Spencer de Horsey.

REPRESENTATION OF WEST KENT.—It 13 said that the approaching election will be contested, in consequence of Lord Holmesdale having expressed himself favourable to the endowment of Maynoeth. THE SWINDLING CASE AT SUNDERLAND.—James Dawson, late landlord of the Commercial Hotel at Sunderland, who was last week committed for trial on charges of conspiracy to de fraud his creditors, of forgery, and of stealing a watch, has exhi. bited in the same line in various parts of the country, under the assumed names of Dawson, James, Hughes, Jones, Boucher, Arc. At Preston, in July, August, and September last, he victimised the tradesmen there to the tune of 1,0001. or 1,900/., and then decamped. He is well known to the turnkeys of the Queen's Bench Prison by the name of Boucher, and additional evidence of his "business habits" is by almost every post conveyed to Sunderland. His friend, Mr. Richard Raymond Shires, com mitted to Durham gaol for attempting to compound one of Dawson's felonies, is also well known to the officers of the Queen's Bench Prison, and he has not only been identified by the under-governor of that prison, but some useful information has been received respecting this worthy, which proves that the gang is an extensive one, well organised, and that they have carried on a system of wholesale confederate plunder at once extensive and astonishing. Mr. Williams, who figured at Sunderland with Dawson, was, at the time of the latter person's apprehension, about to open an " establishment " at Ldwestoffe, under the name of William Thompson, but since the exposure of against the the the follow thehlar,:,eilla gang at Sunderland, he has "cut and run " without making any serious inflictions on the pockets of the people in that lown.

Mr. PEACOCK moved, on the part of Mr. Bird, manager of the above burying..ground, for a writ of certiorari, to remove an in. dictment for misdemeanour out of the Middlesex Sessions into the Court of Queen's Bench. The Leased Gentleman moved on the ground that questions of fact were likely to arise which would render it advisable to have the case tried by a special jury. Mr. WILDE said he had been but a few hours before instructed to show cause why the writ should not be issued, but, supposing that his Lordship thought that the indictment ought to be removed, he had BO objection to make some arrangement relative to the , trial.

A serious disturbance took place at a beer.shop, kept by a person named Stainsbury, in Whitechapel, and the constable was called to take some of the parties into custody. He did so, and some persons attempted to get them from him. He was knocked down, and whilst on the ground the prisoner threw a large stone at him, which struck him on the head, and laid his scalp bare. He became insensible, and whilst in that state he struck him repeatedly on the head. The constable was conveyed to the hospital, where he lay in a dangerous state for three weeks. • _ The prisoner, in his defence, said he did not strike the man— :hat it was a cabman who did so. _ .

F. White, aged 21, a glass.cutter, was indicted for being an accessory after the fact. The female prisoner had formerly been in the service of Mr. Brown, who resides in the Mile-end.road. On the 3d of February an entrance was effected by the nursery-window by some person, who was judged to be a female, from the small footsteps in the ground, and the articles mentioned in the indictment stolen. In the course of last month the bank notes were traced to the female prisoner, with whom the male prisoner was living A great part of the at tidies were found in her possession, and the rest were traced to various pawnbrobers, with whom she had pledged them, and who identified her as the person. They had purchased, amongst other articles, a quantity of new furniture, and in some of these purchases the male pri. Boner accompanied her, and tendered notes in payment. They were to have been married, and had made some preparations for cuter ing into that happy state.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Isaac Har man and WiWant Nichol.tant, two ill-looking fellows, the former of whom had a severe black eye, were on Satur day placed at the bar, charged with uttering counterfeit half•sovereigns, under the following novel and peculiar cireumstm.:t s Mr. William Bryson, the son cf the proprietor of the Two Brewers, Brewer's-green, Westminster, stated that on last Tuesday evening. the prisoners came into his father's house, and called for some shrub, in payment for which Harman tendered a sovereign. The change, amongst which was a half-sovereign, was placed upon the counter before them, when Nicholson observed that he had coppers enough to pay for the liquor, and that witness could give back the sovereign, as there was no necessity for Harman to change. Nicholson then put down fourpence-halfpenny, and witness having returned the sovereign to Harman, took up the change from the cmnter, which was, to all appearance, the same as he had placed there. The prisoners then went out, when witness on a sudden suspecting that something was wrong, examined the change, and found that a counter feit half-sovereign had been substituted by tilt) fellows for the genuine one he had originally placed on the counter.

THAMES POLICE. CITAIIGE OF MITIIDER. -- An Irishman , named Simon a glass-blower, who is about 29 years of age, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with the wilful murder of Jane Thruesell, in a low lodging-house, kept girl, and the circum tntdhe rof which e it took place, have caused by a woman nam ed Sheehan, in Blue Anchor - yard , unfortunate Boesmary-lane, Wh i t eeha p el. The d great excitement in the di strict. The p lac e where the murder took place is a narrow. dirty, ill-paved a ll e y, l ea di ng ou t stances e i a of Rosemary dane, which is chiefly inhabited by the lower classes of the Irish, who have made a lodgment in a great number of dilapidated tenements, few of which possess any legal owners. In the house, No. 5, Blue Anchor-yard, one of the dirtiest, and most ruinous of the Irish freeholds, the prisoner lodged, with many others, in the midst of filth and pestilence. From the evidtsice it ap peered that the deceased, a Yorkshire girl, who came from Newsholin, near Howden, about six months ago, lodged in the same house, and was in the receipt of an allowance of 4s. per week, which was forwarded to her monthly by her friends in the north. On Friday morn• ing, about half-past ten o'clock, the prisoner came home drunk, and enterid the room where Mrs. Sheehan, the landlady, and the deceased were in bed. Mrs. Sheehan asked Hill for some rent, aid he refused to pay her any. They began quarrelling, and the prisoner threw various things at Sheehan, and they abused each other grossly At last the prisoner took up a chair and hurled it at the landlady ; it missed her and struck the deceased, who was lying down at the foot of the brd. She immediately exclaimed, " Oh, Simon, y o u have hurt me ; yam have struck me on the head !" and she be gan vomiting. The prisoner immediately left the room. The deceased lingered about three hours, when she expired, and the Irish people in the house immediately laid out the corpse, anti commenced the preparations for waking the body, although the girl d id not belong to religi©~ their country or I' • ttempts were made to con ceal the circumst ances o f h er death, but on the same evening Inspector D onegan and police-srgeant Hobert O'Brien received information which induced them to visit the h use, and found the body of the deceased laid out in the usual way. There were six men, of whom the prisener was one, and a female in the room, and Mrs. Sheehan was lying on the bed al on g side the corpse in a bea s tly state of i ntox i ca tion. The other parties ware also very drunk and noisy. Mr. Garrett, a surgeon, of the New-road, was called in, and examined the body. He had not made a posi mortent examination, and could not take upon himself to speak positively as to the cause of death. As it was necessary to obtain the att endance of several other persons, the prisoner was remanded till Thursday next. MARLBOROUGH-STRE ET. Maurice Conderr, a diminutive boy, about twelve earsof age, was charg e d w i th malic i ous l y stabbing Joseph y Kent, aged thirty, with a shoemaker's knife. A police-serge ant o f the E division who t ook the prisoner into custody, produced the knife (a sharp pointed one)—and also a certificate as to the state of the prosecutor, from the house-surgeon of University College Hospital. It a pp eared that the w o und e d man i s a journeyman boot closer, and was in the employ of the prisoner's father. On Sat urda y after noon, som e words ensued between Kent and the prisoner in the workshop. an d K ent struc k the boy twice , an d was rushing forward to again assault him when t he y fell on the floor together, th e pr i soner hav i ng at the time the knife in his hand. K en t almost immediately cried out t hat he conveyed was stabbed. lie was as quickly as posible to t he hospital. Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoner what account he had to give of the transaction? The boy said that Kent was beat ing him, and they fell on the floor together, but he did not know how the man came stabbed. The police -sergeant said he had been informed that Kent, since his admission to the hospital, had stated that he was now induced to think that the stab was accidentally inflicted. Mr. MALTBY said, under the circumstances, he would libo, rate the prisoner on his father becoming responsible for his appearance when called on. SOUTH IVARK. Joseph Barnes, an apprentice to Mr. Cowper, linen-draper, Blackman-street, was charged with stealing various sums of money belonging to his master. The complainant stated that the prisoner had been his apprentice for the last three years, and that having reason to suspect him of dishonesty, owing to the extravagance of his conduct, he set a watch upon his actions. For this purpose he got a customer to purchase some articles at the shop with money that had been previously marked, and when the prisoner was subsequently accused of keeping back some, he denied it, but some was found in his possession. When the prisoner's ,box was examined, a great variety of expensive articles were found, amongst which were a gold w,tch and chain ; and he admitted to the policeman that they were purchased with the money of which he had robbed his master. The prisoner's uncle, a respectable man. said that his father was in good circumstances in the country, and he trusted the magistrate would remand him to give an opportunity of communicating with his father.—The prisoner was remanded. MURDER OF A. CHILD AT HAMPSTEAD. On Saturday afternoon a jury was empannelled before Mr. T. Watley, M.P., at the Yorkshire Grey Tavern, Hampstead, in the same room in which the inquest was held on the late Mr. Delarue, to inquire into the death of a male child. The jury comprised several of the gentlemen who were on the inquest above referred to. Police-constable Alexander Mackay, 197 S, stated that about half-past five o'clock in the morning of the 7th inst., he was on duty in Hampstead-road, near Sinton's nursery, between Haverstock-terrace and the Load of Hay, and in a ditch passing along the edge of the nursery and the main road, he discovered the body of the deceased. It was perfectly dressed in the clothee produced to the jury. They consisted of the usual children's clothing, of the finest texture. The flannel was quite new, and edged with silk. The under clothing was of fine cambric, and the cap had a rich lace border. The body was wrapped in two diaper towels, and sown up in an old dark green child's cloak. He conveyed the body to the station-house, where it was seen by the surgeon. Mr. Daniel Gower, surgeon, of Hampstead, deposed that when he first saw the deceased its nose was much flattened, and there was a mucous issuing from the mouth and nostrils. He had since made a pose moitem examination. The umbilical cord had been properly tied, and its appearance, together with other circum stances, indicated that it had lived several days. The lungs floated, and there was every other symptom to prove this. There was no mark of violence on the per son, or any poison in the stomach. The brain presented a very vascular appearance, and there was a good deal of fluid blood on its surface. He was decidedly of opi nion that the deceased had died from some kind of suffo cation, and, from the mucous issuing from the mouth ' and nostrils, it was his his opinion that the suffoca:ion was by drowning. The CORONER said, after this evidence, he thought there could nut be a doubt upon the mind of any one that the case was one of wilful murder, although they had no proof whatever of who the parties were that committed it. The jury acquiesced, and at once returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons un known." Mr. WAKLEY then remarked he was in the Court of the Old Bailey on Friday night, end heard Docker's statement and the sentence passed upon him, and he could assure the jury that Hocker exhibited all the cool ness he displayed when in that root at the inquest; in deed he was as unmoved as.the table before him. The judge was ten thousand tunes more moved than Rocker was. He seemed completely bound up in vanity, but he hoped the sense of his awful situation would soon have the effect of removing the film from his (yes, and enable him to see his position more clearly than he at present appeared to do. He acknowledged the writing of the letter signed " Caroline," and from the very outset of the case he believed he had done so. A juror remarked that locker's statement with re spect to his covering himself with blood in a slaughter house at Hampstead was absurd. There was no slaughter-house that was not kept under lock and key. MIXED COMMISSION ON ' I THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. 9I —Both English and French officers have given their evi dence.

Captai Bonet and several Freud' officers are waiting to be examined They dined together at Lovegrove's, Blackwall, a day o two since.— United Service Gazette. Some of the Canadian journals furnish statistics relative to the trade of that country, which show the progress it is making both in imports and exports. With respect to the first branch of commerce it may be stated that whereas the entries of British plantation rum in 1842 were only 26,076 gallons, they had increased in 1844 to 120,680 gallons The quantity of molasses received in 1842 was 117,966 gal lons; but in 1844 it had reached 222,836 gallons. The quantity of sugar, including refined, muscovadoes, and bas tards, imported in 1842 was 7,760,0001 b. ; and in 1844 was 13,060,0001 b. The increase in the imports of coffee had risen from 60 : 8061b. in 1842, to 432,1051 b. in 1844. With respect to the second branch of commerce there was the same feature of improvement in the leading articles. Flour, which in 1842 had only figured for 294,799 barrels, had increased in 1844 to 415,467 barrels. Wheat in 1842 was shipped to the extent of 204,107 minots, then declined to 144,233 minots in 1843. and rose again to 212,183 minots in 1844. Peas from 78,985 minots in 1642 had increased to 130,355 minots in 1844. Ashes from 27,641 barrels in 1842 had increased to 35,753 barrels in 1844. Butter is the sole article that pre sents any alarming fluctuation. The' exports in 1842 were 542,511 barrels ; in 1843 they receded to 374,207 barrels ; and rallied in 1844 to 460,800 barrels. On the whole these returns afford incontestable proof of the prosperity of trade in British North America. The only fear is, that the increase of exports scarcely keeps pace with that of imports. ;it'll.* mansion in Be!grave-square of the late Mr. Dehaney, the Solicitor of the Excise, has changed hands by the instrumentality of Mr. George Robins, for seven thou sand guineas, and the on dits concur in its being a great bargain.

THE SUGAR DUTIES.—The Board of Customs having had under consideration the regulations which it may be expedient to adopt for giving effect to the directions con tained in the Treasury order of the 20th ult., recorded on the Board minute of the 24th following—under which all parties who have sugar in the bonding warehouses, on which the duty of 245. per hundred weight, and 5 per cent. thereon, have been paid, are directed to be repaid the sum of Ss. per hundred weight on such sugar, on the delivery of the same from the warehouses within a limited time, have issued orders that the amount of duty in question be returned to the several parties by special certificate, upon the following con ditions being previously complied with, viz. :—That the ap plications be made to the Board by the owners of the sugar which was in the bonded warehouses on the 14th of March, 1845, when the former duties ended. It is to be observed that the application is to be made by the parties themselves in writing, and not by an agent or otherwise; that the ap plication be accompanied by a certificate from the Dock Company. or Ihe owner of the warehouse, that the applicant was the owner of the sugar, and that it was in warehouse on the 14th of March, 1845 ; and also by a declaration of the applicant that he was the actual and bond fide owner of the sugar mentioned in his application ; that the duty had been paid thereon, and that it was in the warehouse on the date mentioned, and also that he is the party who is entitled to the return of the duty on the sugar under the Treasury order of the 20th ult., and no other person whatever. And the Commissioners have further directed that no such return of duty be made upon any sugar not actually delivered from the bonding warehouse on or before the 20th of May next ensuing ; and copies of this minute have been delivered to the revenue officers at this port, and transmitted to the col lectors and controllers of the Customs at the several outports of the kingdom, for their guidance and that of all parties concerned. yv TUE ALLEGED MURDER IN WHITECHAP.L. , —Yes terday a lengthened inquiry took place before Mr. Baker, at the King of Prussia, Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane, Whiteckapel, on view of the body of Jane Thrussell, aged twenty-one years, whose death, it was alleged, had been caused by a blow inflicted upon her with a chair, by a man named Simon Hill, by trade a glass-blower, who was taken into custody on a charge of murder, and has. been examined before Mr. Ballantine, the Thames police magistrate, and remanded to await the result of the present inquiry. Several witnesses were examined, whose testimony was a recapitula tion of that adduced before Mr. Ballantine on Saturday last. The witnesses, however, after a severe cross-examination, all concurred in expressing their belief that the blow was entirely accidental, and proved that the man Hill had uniformly be haved kindly to deceased, and would often share his food with her when in distress. A woman 'limed Box, also de posed that immediately subsequent to the occurence, deceased said that Hill had not hurt her. Mr. Leddle, surgeon, stated that he had made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased. Death had been caused by an ex.travasation of blood upon the brain. produced by a blow 11101 as might have been inflicted in the manner deposed to by the several witnesses. The Coroner summed up at great length, and the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death." The Decay of Teeth arises from various causes ; but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use of tooth powders containing mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel ! —The extreme prevalence of this cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, indeed, is prin cipally to be attributed the long botanical research, which happily terminated by the most felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the Preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz.—Rowland's Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice : this Powder now occupies a distin guished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is uni versally held.
