The Proprietor had the honour of submitting the Model to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and he is delighted to say it met with his most decided and perfect approval, and from the more than usual care which has been observed in its execution, he points it out as the happiest production of Mr. Danson's pencil.

The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Wood stock, in the room of the Marquis of BLANDFORD, who bas accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. In the early part of the evening, in answer to a clues ! tio.ifpw/fo# \ Atop j, following important announce - 4t"-J:Efi e intention of her MAJESTY'S se further measures. with i ~~ ~ ~ rogarti to academical education in I . .:and." The Right Hon. Baronet further stated that scre out line or those weagures should he givFn to the House, either I,y hirr. , ,c.lf or b some ( - Aber r s lonbel - of the Go vernal:AV-, the rea.;;ug of the 11.4noc;th overtlircea iDg ti.e ,) stem ut the role circulation and `tanking in Scotinnf.i. Ti..; great fact before his eyes is the ttne:.,iimpi , pr perity Scotland has v.t.lained under that systree and circulation. The great crotchet of b ip mind, yet to be satisfied, is—to denude Scotland of this beneficial currency which, whilst it exists there, attests the principles of that widely-based prosperity — that searching and remunerating diffusion of capital— that living compensation for industrial labour in all its departments, which have ceased to exist in England ever since the establishment of an exclusive currency of Mint_ cheap, market-dear, statute-recognised standard of gold. Let not the gentlemen of Scotland deceive them selves. The condescension of explaining the outline of his plan for demolishing the living prosperity of Scot land—aye, and of Ireland, too—will be to be paid for by their submission to a reckless, unflinching, dogged urging on of his gold standard principle, cn the part of the Prime Minister, to that boasted but disastrous " complement" which it has already attained in in England. On Friday next let no Scottish Member concede that to an imaginary expediency or coaven tional courtesy, one parallel in the strategy of their op position tactics, which, once conceded, will be ii3t only irretrievable, but turned into a centre of operatiew.s :Igainst themselves. They have so much at stake—they have so much to fight for—they are, in the case of Eng land, so justified by a pregnant example of the mischief's, the irreparable mischief's, of a suicidal acquiescence in the monetary caprices of the Alinister, that we trust they will be at their posts, backed by the representatives of all Scotland, to hold this sort of language to the Pre mier :—" To you, who pride yourself on being the most practical of Ministers, we of Scotland desire to tender, in evidence of the value, the indispensable importance of our existing system of small note circulation and banking, the plain matter-of-fact experience of all the interval that has elapsed since the union of the Crown of Scotland with that of England. We of Ireland, desire you to observe in what rates' the energies and capaci ties of Ireland have been developed since the union of our kingdom with yours by that monetary system under which we flourished, prospered, and expanded, side by side, until 1819, when you thought proper to step from off it, and 1845, when by way of atonement for the enor mous blunder you of England have committed by that act, you would insist upon our following your ruinous example and adopting your fatal counsels." Let every Member of the House of Commons, who would gladly concur in repairing the blunder* of 1819 and 1844, be at his post on Friday night, were it only to prove the awakened intelligence of the year 1845 in its repudiation of the errors of former sessions of disastrous monetary legislation. Bill came on. The order of the day for the House going into Com mittee on the Maynooth Bill having been read, On the motion that the SPEAKER do leave the chair, Mr. WARD rose to move the resolution of which he had given notice, to the effect that the funds or providing for the endowment of Maynooth should be taken, not from the Consolidated Fund, but from the revenue devoted to ecclesiastical purposes in Ireland. At the commencement of his speech the Hon. Member expressly stated that he did not bring forward this motion out of any hostility to the Government plan, of which he much approved, but he thought it right to p u t on record his opinion as to the source from which this revenue ought to be derived. In the course of his speech the Hon- Member strongly animadverted on the spirit of bigotry which had been displayed by many of the opponents of the grant to Maynootb, and quoted largely from published speeches and pamphlets, in support of his position. He also went at length into the general question of Ecclesiastical endowments, urging th e Government, as they had adopted a new course of policy with regard to Ireland, to adopt the right course at once. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving his rt. solu- Captain BERKELEY seconded the motion. Sir T. FREMANTLE, allowing the sincerity of the Hon. Gentleman's motives, deprecated the introduction of the question at this moment, when he would have other opportunities of discussing it. Sir W. JAMES opposed the resolution, but supported the Government measure. Ere long he felt that the present state of the Protestant Church in Ireland must be amended by the House. Sir J. B. WALSH would vote against the motion. Mr. MACAULAY, in a most eloquent speech, supported the resolution, and denounced the Established Church in Ireland as the most pernicious and absurd institution that had ever disgraced any country. Sir J. GRAHAM considered that the grant would be still more unpopular if the funds were to be derived from the spoliation of the Iribh Church. He was, as he always bad been, opposed to any measure like that proposed by the Hon. Member for Sheffield. Mr. ROEBUCK supported the motion. It was clear that the Maynooth Grant had been extorted from the fears of the Government, and not from their sense of justice. Sir R. PEEL protested against the manuitT in which what he had said on Friday had been misrepresented. The grant had not been extorted by the fears of the Govern- 1 meat. It had been tendered as a token of kindly feel ing to Ireland, and had been accepted as such. The Right Hon. Gentleman defended the couduct of the Go vernment at great length, and said that he was bound to oppose the proposition of the Hon. Member for Sheffield. Lord J. RUSSELL supported Mr. WARD'S motion, and contrasted the present course of the Government with that which they had pursued from 1836 to 1843. On the motion of Mr. COLQUHOUN, the debate was adjourned, and the House rose at One o'clock. The Madrid Gazette of the 14th contains a royal de• cree for suspending, till further orders, the sale of the convents s ii i:Tressed three years since. In the Chamber of Deputies the c ;zpree was alluded to, when the ension of the sales was not Fi nance Minister said the aa!'P a polit'cal, but an administrative measure, and that the Government wanted extensive edifices various public purposes. The Cortes will be p roro g ued about :Ile ISth of May. On the 15th the Three per Cents. closed at 35 3-16 for cash, and 35{ at 60 days ; the Four per Cents. at 23 7.16 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 251 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 8i at 60 days. The accounts from Dublin are of the most gratifying description. The new policy of the Government has already been productive of beneficial results, and leads to the conviction that when fully carried into operation Ireland will be restored to peace, and form the strongest bulwark of the British empire. Hitherto she has only been a thorn in the side of England In times even of profound peace, when no external wars or jealousies harassed the Government, when Scot land and England remained in contented tranquillity, and the industrious inhabitants directed all their ener gies to trade and commerce, and great national undertakings, Ireland has generally only exhibited scenes of confusion and the bitterest animosity against her nearest neighbour. English capital, English improve -1 meats—everything English, in fact, exeept what was forced upon the Irish in the shape of guns and swords, and armies and coercion Bills—was driven from the country, as if England was not only aforeign nation, but a determined and implacable enemy. Such a bitter and universal feeling could not spring up without a cause, and least of all among an open-hearted, generous, and grateful people like the Irish. Even these qualities are now conceded to them by men who had long opposed their claims, who rarely had tempted their kindness, and who were known rather as their oppressors than their humane and just rulers. Sir R. PEEL, who had so long tried their patience, alluded in his speech on the Maynooth grant to the gratitude displayed in the sister country for even such a small favour, and at the meeting held in Conciliation-hall on Monday, the walls of the building resounded with the praises of the Prime Minister and of his colleague who had, in an unguarded moment, roused the- in dignation of many millions by announcing that concession had reached its utmost limits. The remarks of Mr. O'CONNELL on this subject, in perfect keeping with the forgiving disposition of his countrymen, are to this effect :—" For the first time in his life, he had an opportunity of praising Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and he did so most cordially, on account of the manliness by which his speech was characterised. There was nothing more foolish than the cry of ' incon sistency.' When a man was in the wrong a change in his conduct merely amounted to a declaration that he was wiser to-day thanhe was yesterday. Who shall presume to say that because a man was once wrong he was never to emerge from the precincts of error ? No, he held out both his hands to Sir JAMES GRAHAM with forgiveness for the past, and he should be placed on a pedestal hav ing inscribed on its base ' Justice to Ireland.' He bad expressed his sorrow for having used the expression that concession had reached its limits, and no man was either a Christian or a gentleman who did not forgive after the symptoms of repentance manifested by him." He held similar language towards Sir ROBERT PEEL, with the universal approbation of the fullest meeting that had ever assembled, even when the rage for repeal was at its highest pitch. Such a victory is worth contending for. The internal peace of a great country is one of the first of blessings ; charity and forgiveness are the brightest of Christian virtues, and we, there fore, honour men who will not foree these religious opinions on others, nor stand in the way of measures which may save the United Empire from the greatest of all calamities. The good work is fairly begun, it has the support of the two great parties in the State, and its consummation, we trust, will form the most illustrious feature in the reign of our beloved SOVEREIGN. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the discussion on the reduction of the Five per Cent. Stock, proposed by M. de BoaT, commenced. The measure is opposed by the Government for the present session, but they admit the justice of the principle, and are only de- sirous that the Chamber should postpone the reduction till a more opportune time. M. LLADIERE, one of the MNG's aides-de camps, was the first speaker, and strongly opposed the plan, as both unjust and impolitic. M. 6t. PRIEST, on the other hand, supported it on the ground that it was perfectiy just, that it would cause an annual saving to the Government of 12,000,000 E, and that the country ought to avail itself of the pre sent favourable state of the funds to make the reduction. The discussion was going on at the hour of post. Another outbreak has taken place in the Polytechnic School, in consequence, as is said, of the appointment of General ROSTvLAN, as Governor. The foilowil4; account of this foolish affair appear:: in the ...Vutional:—" A pupil tomnitted an llct of violence against one of his companions. The other scholars who wished to interfere formed an assemblage in the court, which the superior police of the school summoned to dis perse. The pupils, who have for some time been ill-dis posed towards the system introduced into the school bi General ROSTOLAN, the present Governor, opposed resist ance. Thence occurred some unpleasant and unprece dented scenes. We arc assured that some of the adju tants, and some even of the superior officers, were struck by the pupils in a moment of excitement. Disturb ances have occurred at former periods, but on such occasions the pupils were satisfied with breaking the furniture, whilst they. respected the persons of their officers. We are far from excusing these excesses, and we refer to them in order the more severely to blame them. In consequence of those disturbances, twenty-four pupils have been confined in the prison of the school, and eleven in the military prison of the Abbaye. The Council of Discipline has commenced an investigation of the affair, and it was expected that it would decide on the fate of several of the accused on Monday." The Jesuits are also showing symptoms of revolt. The Quotidienne says :—" The partisans of the dynasty are in great commotion in relation to the Jesuits. Will they strike them, or 'Rill they not ? There are reasons for and against it. The wish says yes. fear says no. It is not a question of right, justice, legality, and liberty, but a question of courage. There are folks whom despotism becomes badly." " The Government," says the Journal des Debats, "is ready to reply. The question is ripe, and the decision opportune. It appears to us, besides, that the friends of the Jesuits themselves feel this, for they are doing all in their power to pro voke discussion and to make it 'violent. The Univers announces that, within the last year, a thousand new Members have been added to the society, and that it is now sufficiently flourishing to make head at the same time against the enemies of the Church in Europe, Ame rica, and Upper Asia, and all other parts of the world. This is the greater reason why the legal question should be settled. We could close our eyes so long as tin Jesuits concealed their title, and presented themselves to us as mere auxiliary priests, for the spirit of free Go vernments is, above all things, a spirit of tolerance and patience. But now that the Society of Jesus, so humble a few years ago, takes pride in passing a review of its forces, and publicly reckons France amongst the number of its provinces, France must be told when she was legally conquered." The Moniteur Alyerien of the 15th inst. announces that ADD EL-KADER is again in the field, and that a skirmish had taken place near Blidah between some of his horsemen and a party of the French, who repulsed the Arabs, but lost four men killed and twelve wounded. Marshal BUGEAUD had left for Didah. We see that Sir ROBERT PEEL is so bent upon pre• serving perfect good faith—with the gentlemen of Scot land--that he will not, for worlds, be worse than his word. That is passed for Friday mxt. On Friday, without remission or failure, he will state the outline of his plan for assimilating the law which is to control in future the small bank-note circulation and currency of Scotland and of Ireland to that of England, under the Acts of 1819 and 1844. We own Sir ROBERT is a very accom plished Parliamentary tactician, and we have often had occasion at once to admire and rejoice at the dexterity with which he has exercised his peculiar talent in accel2 The following are extracts from tho journals relative ;o the affairs of Switzerland:— A letter of the 17th from Zurich says—" Yesterday and the day before all the prisoners taken at Lucerne who are under 20 years of age arrived at Reinach. A detachment or Zurich troops received them at the frontier, and conducted then , . to the municipality, where th« , y w ere set at liberty." The New Zurich Gazette has a letter of th. 17th from Lucerne, saying :—" The court-martial hart condemned to ten years' imprisonment in irons Captain Ultra, convicted of desertion. He might have been brought before the ordi nary tribunals upon a charge of bearing arms against his canton, in which case he would probably have been eon dembed to death." The Rile Gazette says :—" The instructions received by the Count de Pontuis, the French Ambassador, on his return to Switzerland, correspond with those he had previously re ceived, to declare that his Government remained resolved to act in concert with the other great Powers in the affairs of Switzerland. Nevertheless, the Count is to recommend the Government of Lucerne not to call in the Jesuits." THE BOURSE--MONDAY, APRIL 21. rating the progress of great questions involving general principles. But he is really a little too much given to display his proficiency in an art which lie has so success fully studied. There is no gratification which seems more racy to the Right Honourable Baronet than that of neutralising all opposition to his projects, by giving to their opponents no time to concentrate or to direct their opposition. If the expression of the public senti ment against any one of the measures he has, from time to time originated, have been languid and weak, the Premier has manifested a singular liberality in allowing all latitudes of discussion and opportunity forpetitioning. If, on the contrary, the public distaste for any scheme which he has announced, have been loudly and unequi vocally intimated, nothing can exceed the promptitude and energy with which he urges it on through all the various stages of its progression. .No compromise—no postponement—no excuses—the public interest, the honour of his Government, the vindication of a principle, demand that there should be no relaxation, no modifica tion of the " standing orders of the day." Impressions and opinions may retain all their force for an entire twelvemonth ; Ministerial majorities cannot safely be trusted " to keep " (looking to all the accidents of " pressure from without a n d ca b a ls within," t ) which they are liable, and th e " p o lk a "-lik e mo bility t o w hi c h th e y give rise) for a single day. Sir ROBERT, therefore, is darkly mysterious, unapproachably mystical, on such theto e a x n p y ed r i e e tu rtu o y n remonstrances .founded f further frthher u ° . p e o ca n sl in n d s ece i n n t h r a e s p t l e y , in or g time for petitioning. He is a disciplin g arit g severest rule. He has squared the fortunes of t t il he o cou t e try by the fate of his motion. He can concede nothingn to this consideration ; he cannot recognise the cogency aud of that. The appointments of the " Notice" pap the decrees of Fate itself, are to be looked upo ' n as equally unalterable, irrevocable. The most pliant of Mi nisters becomes the most impracticable dragoon official. With great reluctance the Premier abandons the forcing on of a measure which, for our parts, we think very highly of, for five nights. But, in revenge, he in sists on expediting another that we deprecate as most mischievous, at and from its last appointed stage to its termination. Of this latter class is his measure for First Ilighist Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

TUE grNi LONVONI TRIYARDAY MOAN ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETY. The annual °dinner, in aid of the funds if the Accident Re lief isseiety, took place last evening, at the Alcion T..vere, A hiersgattestrece, Lord John Ruiners, M.P., in the chair. Ihe .N. ble Chairman was supported by W. Ewer', Fsq., M.P., and the Rev. Henry Cole, on his right ; and by L. J. Hansard, Esq., and Joseph Somes, Esq., M.P., on his left. There were about fifty gentlemen present, and shortly after six o'clock they sat down to an excellent dinner, which was put upon the table in the usual admirable style of the Messrs. Staples. The dinner em braced every delicacy of the season, and there was a good supply of wine of excellent quality. The cloth having been removed, and " Non Nobis Domine," sung by Messrs. Ransfc,rd, Lloyd, and Shoobridge, the usual loyal and national toasts were given and drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. In giving the toast " The Church,", The CHAIRMAN dilated upon the advantages which a con nexion with such a body as the ministers of the Church of England was calculated to confer upon this Society. His Lordship dilated upon the advantages of the parochial system—a system consonant with the feelings of the English people, and said that the old ballad-monger was not far wrong when he said But to my mind You cannot find, By hunting near or far, Sir, Any beyond The Parish plan To keep us where we are, Sir.—( Cheers. ) The toast having been drunk with three times three, The Hey. HENRY COLE returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Army and Navy," and as there was no gentleman present connected with either of tLese servi'es, he would couple with the toast the name of a gc ntlemas.. most extensively connected with the merchant marine of the es,untry, Mr. Joseph Somes.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with all honours, and Air. J. Soatas, in returning thanks, expressed his regret that no naval officer was present.—( Hear, hear.) They might rely on it that, if it were not for the navy and the army, they would not see the flag of the merchant service of Great Britain floating, as it now did, in every quarter of the world.—(Cheers.) The Ciratasia te then proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Accident Relief Society."—(Cheers.) The manner in which they had received the toast testified to the heartiness of their wishes for the success of the Society. He also wished it, and he augured that their wishes could not be disappointed.—(Loud cheers.) And why did he so augur? It was true the metropolis boasted of its great hospitals, which were a glory and an honour to it, but when the unfortunate victim of an unforeseen casualty was received into one of those noble institutions, the work of bene ficence was but half complete. The head of the family was relieved in one of those munificent institutions, but those who were dependant on the earning of his hand, on the strength of his arm, or on the ingenuity of his brain, were reduced to a state of the deepest distress. In such cases this Society came in; and while the head of the family was labouring under misfortune, assisted and supported that family.— (Cheers.) The records of the Society afforded ample proof that such was the case. ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) But this was not the most gloomy pic ture of all. While life was spared, hope had still some abiding place, but when death, a sudden and violent death, snatched away ajOurneyman mechanic or a labourer from his family, there was not the smallest hope remaining, and poverty, distress and despair took possession of his homestead. There had been during the present year four cases of death, in which the family had been relieved through the exertions of their excellent Secretary.—(Loud cheers.) He recollected once hearing a Birmingham working man say that the reason of the failure of many institutions intended for the relief of the working classes was, that those who had founded them did not understand the wants and wishes of those whom they were anxious to benefit. He had been much struck by the observation, and he augured favourably of the success of this institution, because it had been founded by the working classes themselves.—(Cheers.) It was planted in their wishes and their affections, therefore he anticipated its prosperity and its success.—(Cheers.) True the tree was watered from above, but it was planted in the deep rich soil of the affections o f ,working men.— (Cheers. ) It was a plant of truly E ng li s h gss z . th and not a spurious and sickly exotic.—( Cheers. ) :. He would couple w.,;‘, th e toast, the thanks of the Society to the Committee and the Sc‘:TbarY for their labours. The toast, which was drunk With three . times three and one cheer, was responded to by Mr. L. 14;125arcit after which Mr. Bruton gave an extempore song :n praise of the Society, in the course of which he managed to intro` use the name of every " notability " present. The song ti's _much ap plauded. Mr. EWART, M.P., then proposed the health oi f the Chair; and, after paying a well merited compliment to the virtues and abilities of the Noble Lord, made a brief allusion to the present anomalous state of parties, in conse quence of which he and the Noble Lord who might, by their position, be supposed to be politically opposed to each other were frequently found meeting amicably on what might be termed debateable ground of politics.—( Cheers. ) They had heard much of Old England. He believed that all that was goodin Old England was renewed in Young England. —(Cheers.) He believed they were right in gong back to the principles of the old Constitution for political freedom and thought. Their attempts to adapt our ancient institutions to modern wants was most pr aiseworthy.—(Loud cheers.) The toast having been drunk with the greatest enthusiasm was briefly acknowledged by the Noble Chairman. The next toast was the " Patrons and Patronesses of the Institution," after which the Secretary read the list of subscriptions, and prefaced it by saying that last year their subscriptions had been 1,089/., and this year he was happy to say, that he thought that amount wc.ul , l be ee ceeued, This announcement was received with loud cheers. Among the subscriptions announced in the cour,e of the evening was Sir 'l'. Baring, 100/. ; 111. J. J. Coly, 50/. ; Dr. . Silver, 21/. ; Mr. L. J. Hansard, 20/. ; the Duke of Rutland, 10/. ; Lord Skelmersdale, ' 10/. ; Sir E. P. Glynne, 101. • Mr. Somes, M.P., 10/. ; Hon. P. S. Pierrepoint, 10 /. ; Lord J. Manners, 5/. 55., and 2/. 2s. annually ; and Mr. Ewart, 51. ss. Several other toasts were drunk, and the party broke up shortly before eleven o'clock. IRELAND. RI,PEAL ASSOCIATION. DCBLIN, Arnie 21.—The weekly meeting of the Associa tion was held this day in Conciliation Hail. The excite inent caused by the protracted discussion on the Maynooth Bill, and the anxiety to hear the sentiments of 31r. O'Con nell on the subject, drew together one of the largest assem blies that had appeared for some time in the Conciliation Hall. At one o'clock, Mr. O'Connell entered, and moved that Mr. E. B. Roche, Esq., M.P., should take the chair. The CHAIRMAN briely addressed the meeting, and said he could not commence his discourse better than by calling on the meeting to give cheers for the British Minister and the majority by which the second reading of the Maynooth Bill was carried.--(lmmense 'applause followed, in which Mr. O'Connell heartily joined.) He considered the late de bate as most important. It proved that the same spirit 'which actuated the people of England during the Gordon riots was still rampant, and that an innate hatred of the Irish and their - religion existed in that country. The amende which had been made by Sir James Graham was certainly gratifying, end he felt bound to receive it in the same spirit of frankness in which it was offered.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL handed in a number of remittances, and read a communication from the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, Bishop of Elphin, which contained the following passage : I think you will never be disappointed in the convictions you have formed of the Catholic hierarchy and priesthood of Ireland. They will receive every good measure with grati tude, but the wealth of Crce-sus cannot purchase them, or tempt them to abandon the interests of their beloved flocks in the cause of nationality." Mr. Smith O'Brien and several gentlemen having handed in various sums of money, Mr. O'CosNEr.L again rose and said—This was a great day for Ireland.—(Cheers.) Circumstances which had lately occurred ought to prove to the people the value of per severence—by eerseverence they could achieve the glorious object for which they were contending.—(Hear, hear.) The time was fast approaching when Ireland would be treated as an integral portion of the British empire. It was now his duty to bring up the second report from the Par liamentary Committee upon the Report of the Land Commiasien. The Honourable Gentleman having read the following report :—" That it is essentially necessary for the alleviation of the misery of the people of Ireland that the Legislature should impose a heavy absentee tax—that such tax should not be less than 10 per cent. on all incomes exs ceeding 2001. per annum—that every person should be consi dered as an absentee who shall not reside in Ireland during at least six months in each year, and that the proceeds of such tax should be applied in augmentation of the funds raised by local taxation for useful objects connected with the dis tricts from which the income of such absentee is derived" — .proceeded to comment on the many evils which absenteeism had inflicted on Ireland, and pointed out the means by which it might be counteracted. He then continued to observe that he had read with the greatest satisfaction, and in a spirit of the greatest kindliness, the speeches which bad been delivered by the Ministry during the late debate.—(Cheers.) As for the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Goulburn) he did not much regard him, and if the granting of the boon rested with him alone, he was sure the people of Ireland would not receive it. He never before in his life had occasion to praise Sir James Graham, but he should say that the manly spirit and straightforwardness with which he delivered his speech was worthy of the highest commen dation.—(Cheers.) He would hold out both his hands to him to assist in extricating him from the dilemma into which he had fallen, and he would place him on a pedestal the basis of which should be justice to Ireland I—(Cheers.) Sir James Graham had said that concession had reached its limits—the meaning of which was, that justice should not be extended to Ireland. The Secretary for the Home De partment had expressed his sorrow for that expression, and had declared that the Maynooth Bill was to be the precursor of more beneficial measures. Sir James Graham had told the Recorder of Dublin that Protestant ascendancy had departed for ever. An ascendancy of any kind must be prejudicial to the interests of the country where it exists ; and for his part he would not hesitate to declare that he would rather ascend the scaffold than tolerate for one moment a Catholic ascen dancy.—(Hear, hear.) They would have no ascendancy, and three cheers for Sir James Graham.—(lmmense applause.) Shaw was angry, he understood—he cared little. The best friend to the repeal of the union was the Member for the University, for it was in consequence of his opposition that the Corporate Reform Bill and other measures were rendered unacceptable. He was glad Sir James Graham had told him that Protestant ascendancy was numbered amongst the things that were. The speech of the Right Hon. Baronet was a manly, candid, and repentant speech, and gave abund ant promise of amendment.—( Hear, hear.) He considered they ought to send him absolution from the Conciliation Hall.—(Loud laughter.) He then alluded to the speech of Sir R. Peel, and thus continued—Sir Robert said the agita tio was not to be put down by force. He was right. How could fo:fe be used when there was no violence, or nothing that force coi;L(1-. be brought against? I tell Peel that, so far he may take te awa from using force to arry and if he wants a voluner corps every soldier out of Irelaui,.4our ob]ects,; e will give it to him. After declaration, surely the sol wdiers ought not to be pent up as they e re in their barracks. There is no army in the world so brave as the national army of our beloved Queen ; but why shut them up behind barrack walls? Peel says we are not to be put down by force. I don't look for a higher authority, and therefore I make my bow to him. —(Laughter and cheers.) But he says we are to be put down by kindness, generosity and justice. lam much obliged to him for making the trial; and if he only goes on he will succeed. Now Peel has been cruelly treated by the bigotry and fanaticism of the English. — ( H e ar. ) How often have I said the English people hated us? They hate us because of the crimes they have perpetrated in Ire!and ; and it is natural for those to hate who inflict injustice. Not a single English Member spoke iu favour of the Bill who had not to make the confession that he was acting in opposition to the will of his constituents; and I here give them credit and honour for their conduct ; while we should the more vehemently denounce the turpitude of the English people. Before emancipation passed I should be alarmed at the feeling which is exhibited in England, but now I do not care a two penny ticket for it.—Hear, hear.) The English Presby terians and Dissenters have led the van against the people of Ireland, and Sheil very properly taunted them with the gross ingratitude of their conduct. Duncombe checked him, and said the Presbyterians objected to the Bill on " principle." What a paltry excuse was that ! Every year since I went to Parlia ment, 30,0001., as regium donum, was granted to them. That sum involved the very same principle ; but when did any of the Dissenters come forward to object on principle ? They ex ercise the principle against Irish Catholics alone; while even the Irish Dissenters are allowed to escape. I tell Mr. Dun combe, that instead of applauding the conduct of the Dis senters, he is only putting their conduct in a darker light, and I tell them they are guilty of base ingratitude to us. They were emancipated in 1828, but not by their own ex ertions—they were torpid, and it was we who led the van and relieved them.—(Cheers.) This is the arm that drew the petition which led to their emancipation.—(Cheers.) I drew up the petition which was adopted by the Catholic Association—in a short time it received 28,000 signatures, and in a fortnight after it was presented to the House of Commons the Bill for their emancipation was passed. Oh, their conduct is base—they are guilty of the blackest ingrati tude—they have exhibited the grossest bigotry and intolerance. I repeat my charge against the people of England, and Scot land too. In the discussions between the Kirk and the Free Church in Scotland, the Catholics in the House of Commons always supported the friends of the Free Church ; yet they now attack us. Shame upon them—shame upon the men who can exhibit such bigotry and injustice ; but I have done with them, I want nothing but their abuse.—(Hear, hear.) Let it be recollected Lord John Russell took the part of the Protestant Dissenters—he said they are the friends of civil and religious liberty. Where did he get that fact? Hook back to history, and I cannot find any such thing; and their conduct reminds me of the Established Church ; and I am truly grateful to that Church, for they have offered us no opposition.—(Cheers.) When I awoke this morning I found myself laughing, and I still continue in the same pleasing state of mind.—(Hear, hear.) The labours of my life may now draw to a close. I do not think the repeal cause or its humble advocate ever stood upon so high -a pinnacle as at the present moment.—(Great cheering.) By the admission of our enemies we are irresistible.—(Continued cheering.) Oh, indeed, the man who commits a crime gives strength to the enemy. The man is a miscreant who does not obey us now ; and from this spot, in the name of the sacred cause of repeal, I implore, I command the people of Ireland to desist from crime.--(Protracted cheers.) Let there be no more agrarian disturbances : the time is not far distant when there will be a good system between landlord and tenant, and disturbances will only have the effect of postponing it. Let you all hunt out ribbon lodges, and ex pose them to the magistrates and the police, and I call upon the people of Ireland to be peaceable, but vigilant, and they must succeed.—(Cheers.) The Maynooth grant was gra ciously and well,done—l accept it, and I am thankful for it ; but I do not give more thanks than it deserves. I will be grateful for every such measure, but I will not rest stratent till the last penny in the pound is paid in our own Parlia ment in College-green.—(Cheers.) I repeat again I am gra teful to the Ministry—considering their position—seeing there is a manliness and boldness about them that no other Ministry had—they deserve our warmest approbation for the course they are pursuing. —(Cheers. ) After some further ob servations the Hon. and Learned Gentleman resumed his seat amid applause. Mr. Dillon Browne, M.P., and some other gentlemen ad dressed the chair. The rent was announced to be 3561.95. 101, and the meet ing separated. HER MAJES r Y'S. VISIT TO THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP. Her Majesty having been graciously pleased to signify her intention of visiting tne Great Britain steam-ship, moored oil Blackwall, the Dwarf steam-vessel , Lieutenant Commander IL B. Proctor, was painted and fitted up • at Woolwich, and held in readiness to convey her Majesty from Greenwich to Blackwall. At one o'clock r.m. yesterday, Captain Superintendant Sir Francis A. Collier, Knt., C. 8., and K.C.H., of her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich,_ Captain Sir John Franklin, Knt., K.C.iI., of her Majesty's ship Erebus, Captain Washington of the Blazer s team-vessfl, Commander Smith of her Ma jestv's Dockyard, Woolwich, Lieutenant Commander Mac donald of the Lizard, and Lieutenant Commander Hoseason of the Alecto steamer, proceeded in the Dwarf, steam-vessel to Greenwich, to attend upon her Majesty and her Royal Consort. A guard of honour of the Royal Marines, with the band and colours of the regiment, marched from Woolwich to Greenwich at the same hour, under the command of Cap t. Mitford, with Lie utenants Joliffe, Forbes, and Kni g ht ; Col. Mercer, Lieutenant -Colonel Coryton, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Varlo of the Royal Marines proceeded at the same time to be present at her Majesty's embarkation. At Greenwich, the whole of the pensioners were drawn up p we a r n G d ad d m ep i a ra rt b u l r y e m fo a r de li b u y ck t i h n e c , lm in the quadrangle and leading to the entrance, and the boys of the upper and lower schools, with their excellent miniatUre band ; and they played alternatively with the band of the Royal Marines until the return of her Majesty from the Great Palace. Governor of Greenwich Hospital, Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, G.C.B , and G.C., M.G., and efficiently carried into effect under , B rh ri e t a i r n ra s n t g e e ar ie - n sh ts i the immediate superintendence of the Lieutenant. Governor, Rear-Admiral Sir James Alexander Gordon, K .C. 8., and other officers connected with the establishment. At a quarter before three o'clock the Royal Marines were drawn up under arms as a guard of honour, and the Right Honourable the Earl of Haddington, First Lord of the Ad miralty, and Captain the lion. William Gordon, were r - sent to receive her Majesty. At ten minutes past three pe o'clock two outriders in scarlet liveries rode up the qua drangle, and announced by their presence the near approach of her Majesty. In about one minute after, her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived in an open carriage, escorted by a detac h men t of the 4 t h Li g ht Dra g oons, under the command of Captain Fane. The Queen and her Royal Consort were most enthusiastically cheered throughout the whole line, hundreds of ladies seated in the windows of the west wing of the College waving their handkerchiefs. Her Majesty and Prince Albert bowed repeatedly, evidently pleased with the scene. Her Majesty was banded out of the royal carriage by the Earl of Haddington, and the Queen conversed with his Lordship and leaned on his arm when descending the steps, covered with crimson cloth, leading to the Admiralty barge. Several of the boys were stationed on the steps with their flags, and the embarkation was effected in the most perfect manner. Her Majesty wore a tartan silk dress and Paisley shawl, with a light blue bonnet, and appeared in theenjop ment of excellent health. His Royal Highness Prince Albert was dressed in plain clothes. Amongst the members of her Majesty's suite were Lord George Lennox and Wa ling. nel Arbuthnot and Colo nel Bouverie, Equerries in Captain Sir Francis A. Collier steered the Admiralty barge. with her Majesty on board, and the royal standard raise( to the Dwarf steam-vessel moored in the river. Her Ma jesty was received on board by the Earl of Haddington and Caritaio the El , m. William Gordon , who had go;io on boad r in - tite barp - .. of the William and Mary yeelit, steered„b Continv nier Smith. Her Majesty remained on deck under an awning, in conversation with the Earl of Haddington, and appeared gratified with the arrangements made for her reception. The Dwarf steamer proceeded for Blackwell at precisely half-pant three o'clock, fullowedby the Lord Mayor's barge, with his Lordship and several of the Aldermen and other City authorities on board, towed by one of the Waterman's steamers. Father Thames, the Ariel, and several other steam-boats, proceeded at the same time crowded with pas sengers. •T: After remaining on board the Great Britain about three quarters of au hour, the signal NV33 given at Greenwich that the royal party were about to return, and preparations were immediately made for her Majesty's landing; the whole of the old sailors, many of whom were decohrated e east with the Nelson and other medals, were drawn up on t side of the quadrangle, and the Royal 3larines on the lawn. The royal carriages and escort were also in a readiness, and at twenty minutes before five o'clock tier Majesty and Prince Albert, with the mem bers of her Majesty's suite, lauded in the Admiralty barge, an d were cond ucted by the Earl of Haddington, Admiral Stopford, and the officers in attendance, to the royal carriage. Her Majesty, at a quarter to five o'clock, proceeded on ;her return to Buckingham Palace, and the • carriage drove at a very . slow pace round the eastern side of the quadrangle, the band of the Royal Marines plating the national anthem, and the band of the boys of G reenw i c h schools str uck up " God save the Queen" as her Majesty passed thorn, the brave old tars joining, and enthusiastically cheering her Majesty. The Queen and Prince Albert again repeatedly bowed on each side to the assembled thousands ; and all her subjects pre sent on the occasion appeared highly gratified, as every thing was conducted with such regularity and perfect ease, without the least hurry or confusion, that every one had an opportunity of witnessing her INlajesty, whose public visits of this n a t ure . confer not only pleasure but profit to many. A disagreement, we regret to learn, is said to exist between the directors atd the principal students of the Government School of Design, at Somerset House.sd sp All the ed students taki ng p ar t in the affair are, we believe, end during its consideration by the Council, to whom the matter in dispute has been referred, and by whom there is no doubt justice will be done—to the students, if they complain with reason, and to the directors if the emeute should, on the other hand, prove to be only a cabal of discontented young men. The fact that the proposal for the annual grant of money for the purposes of this school ni,w lies on the table of case. the House of Commo ns l e nds a more serious aspect to the —Herald. Puckler Muskau has sold his estate, and with it his title of noblesse, to Count Edmund Hasfeldt Weisweilor, for 1,708,150 dollars. RAILWAY INSURANCE COMPANY.--A project for making provision for the clerks, guards, stokers, engine drivers, and other employes, of railway companies, is wrought forward on a lar4e scale, by the promoters of :13 Railway In3urance Junpany, which appears to be, in its chief objects, both bold and benevolent. Some of the great railway companies have attempted a similar scheme, but failed—Arst, because the project was limited and isolated, and secondly, because Directors feel a difficulty in dealing with other people's money for merely humane purposes. This institution will effect for all what each cannot effect for itself. The scheme of paying--1001. for sixpence a year—against any accident from railway travelling, is a very good, novel idea, and though the premium be so exceedingly small in appear ance, is likely to produce very large profit. Were all persons who travel to be so insured, the amount taken would be enormously disproportioned to the amount to be paid. ANTWERP, APRIL 18.—The General Steam Navi gation Company's steam-ship Soho, Captain Whitcombe, arrived this day, and landed her passengers at the quay, among whom were the Baron de Lange'', and Colonel Maltby. The wind had been at E.N.E., with much sea, which protracted the passage only a couple of hours longer than usual. We have to announce the death of Mr. James Balfour, of Whittiugham, N. 8., father of Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., who died at Whittingham House, Dunbar, on Satur day, after a protracted illness. The deceased gentleman married in 1815, Lady Eleanor, second daughter of the late' Earl of Lauderdale, by whom he leaves issue a family of, several children. Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P.,'succeeds to a very considerable funded property, as well as landed estates, by his father's death. Mr. and Lady Mary Stanley, the Earl of Lauderdale, the Hon. Sir Anthony Maitland, C. 8., and several families of rank, are placed in mourning by the demise of that estimable gentleman. CAUTION.—A. man of the name of Robert Ward (or at least calling himself so) is travelling about Suffolk with a petition, stating that he has lost two horses by death, and begging the contributions of the benevolent in order that he may be enabled to replace them. A number of signatures were attached to the one he showed at Ipswich; some of them have proved to be forgeries, and we warn the public against such an impostor. Should any of our readers happen of him, we should re commend them to put a label on his back and direct him to the police, at Ipswich, at whose hands he would be sure to get some cheap fare and loding.—lpswich Express. DEATH OF LADY ISABELLA L. KING.--We have to announce the death of the above lady, who died on Sunday morning, at Rock Ferry, Cheshire. Her Ladyship was only surviving daughter of Edward, first Earl of Kingston, and great aunt of the present garl. N 3 A.PTIIL 245 I.A4L MONEY and COMMERCIAL KOVS. (From The San of Last Night.)
