Wilford Clitheroe, Mr. THE WEATHER-SUN OFFICE, APRIL 14. ferred back to the Committee of Standing Orders, for the purpose of enabling them to institute an inquiry into the alleged improper conduct of the agent of the Bill. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on the third reading of the Maynooth Bill he should move, " That it is the opinion of this House that the 7th and Bth of VICTORIA, commonly called the Catholic Bequests Act, was a vio lation of the Act of Settlement, and a contravention of the oath of supremacy, and that the present grant to Maynooth is calculated to subvert the Constitution as by law established." Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that, in a future stage of the grant to Maynooth Bill, he would move the fol lowing resolution:—" That the principle of endowment of any religious sect or sects, from a State fund, or from a fund received from tithes, rents, &c., whether known by any other name or denomination, is a violation of the rights of conscience, detrimental to religion, and dan gerous to civil and religious liberty, and that all such grants ought to be abolished." On the motion of Mr. FEARAND, the petition of the Dublin Operative Conservative Association, praying for the impeachment of Sir 8.. PEEL, was ordered to be printed with the votes. In answer to Mr. HINDLEY, Mr. 'tom said that a Governor was about to be appointed to Port Natal. The second reading of the Medical Bill was post p.sned. THERMOMETZR, Lowest, 38 ; Highest, 48; Noon, 50. BARONZTER, 29.50.—W1ND, NoTi•—The figures which follow the words "Lowest" and " Highest" denote the lowest and highest state of the l'hermometer during the preceding twenty-four hours. All the other observations are made at noon. The adjourned debate on the Maynooth Bill was then resumed by Mr. HAwEs, who supported the second reading of the Bill. He thought, however, that the grant ought to be annual, and that the funds should be taken out of the ecclesiastical property In Ireland. Sir T. FREMANTLE StippOrtA, and Mr. Fox MAULE opposed the Bill. Lord CASTLEREAGH, who supported the Bill, said no one could complain of being taken by surprise, and his only astonishment was to find that the first of the Irish measures was so exceedingly trifling. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. WYNNE, Mr. COWPER, Mr. GREGORY, Mr. MACAULAY, Mr. SHAW, and Mr. S. HERBERT, after which the de bate was adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The other business of the day was then completed, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. patch dated Rome, March '2B, announces to the Go vernment of her MAJESTY that he received on the27th a note from the Cardinal Secretary of State. The prelate informs him in that note, that he is officially authorised by his HOLINESS to accept the Royal cre dentials delivered to M. CASTILLO as Minister Pleni potentiary of her Catholic MAJESTY QUEEN ISA BELLA 11. to the Holy See. The CARDINAL is like wise empowered to proceed immediately in conjunc tion with said Plenipotentiary to arrange the eccle siastical affairs of Spain."

Morning • • 10 rntnates after 7 Evening • • 43 minutes after 71 The French Chamber of Peers have advanced another step in favour of the slaves in the colonies, but it is to be regretted that the step, though ostensibly liberal, can hardly produce any material result. A debate took place on the clauses fur allowing the negro to purchase his liberty on certain conditions, and was adopted with an.aniendment proposed by Count BEUG NOT, to the effect that he shall have the right of choosing the employer with whom he shall labour, fur the periodof five years, which be is still to serve after he is able to purchase his freedom. The price is reckoned at about 521., and few slaves with only one day to them selves for the weeks' maintenance will be able to realiie that sum iu ten years. With the five years of probation added, he cannot be free for fifteen years. This is a sad mockery, but possibly the Chamber had no choice, as the opponents of emancipation are more powerful in France than they were in England, and it would be impossible to wring frt . m the Deputies such a liberal grant as was voted by a British House of Commons. The Journal des Debt* regards most of the remedies proposed as of little value, because they hold out so little hope of liberty to the victims of slavery. "It would be difficult," observes that journal, "to imagine a system of emancipation more limited, more prudent, more slow, and, we should add, more timid, than that which the Chambers of Peers has been occupied in dis cussing for some days past. England on the same day, and on the same hour, generously and boldly granted liberty to 800,000 slaves in her colonies, and drew from her treasury 500,000,000 f. to fhdemnify their masters. We are far from possessing so much decision or so much liberality. We tell the slaves in our colonies, you shall be free on condition that you pay the price of your free dom. But the slave possesses nothing. The Bill under consideration, however, provides for this by giving the slave one day in the week, on condition that he supply himself with the means of existence during the remain ing days of the week. The value of a day's wages in the West Indies is estimated at lf. 600. It follows from this calculation that at the end of the year the slave will have gained from 75f. to 80f. If from this sum be deducted what the slave shall have expended for his subsistence, the difference will constitute the amount of savings by which the slave is to pay his ransom. But what is the value of a slave? By some a slave is estimated at 1,200 E, by others at 1,400 E According to the Bill under dis cussion, the value of the slave is to be fixed by commis sioners. It is not to be feared, therefore, that the work of emancipation will advance too rapidly. It appears certain that., by the proposed measure, slavery will re quire a longer time to disappear from our colonies than the period which has existed since its establishment." This is a dismal prospect, and shows that the French know very little yet of the true secret of governing colonies. The same paper announces the following decision of the Council of Prefec ture in the case of the officers of the National Guards who had signed the petition against arming the fortifica tions of Paris : Men possessing even the ordinary powers of reason, on undertaking any measure of importance, look for ward to the consequences. They are not like the beasts of the field, left to instinct—they have been gifted with rational minds, and are accountable for their conduct. It may, therefore, not be out of sea son at the present moment to ask Sir R. INGLIS, Mr. HINDLEY, and Sir CULLING E. SMITH, in case of their opposition to the Maynooth grant being su,3- cessful, if they are prepared to meet the crisis which must follow ? Should Sir R. PEEL'S scheme be de feated in the Commons or the Lords, he and his entire Cabinet must resign at once. The QUEEN would apply to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or possibly consult Lord MELBOURNE, with the view of form ing a new administration, and the result could not for a moment be doubtful. All the Whig party, which we admit is not very great, and all the leading men of the Liberal party are bound to this measure, even by stronger ties than the present Cabinet. In fact, it is their measure ; they cannot escape from it; and they must tell her MAJESTY that they will not incur the awful responsibility of forming an administration which would be opposed to the death by seven millions of her most loyal subjects, and which could, under such circumstances, receive the support of not one statesman out of the Cabinet. As a forlorn hope, application might be made to the parties who had upset the PEEL Government. At the head of these we place Sir R. H. Nous; he must, of course, make the best of his materials, and on looking at the list of the division against the grant, he would be compelled, probably, to choose the following members :—Mr. PLUMPTRE, Mr. T. DIJNCOMBE, Mr. G BANKES, Mr. C. HINDLEY, Mr. B. D'ISRAELI, Mr. LEFROY, Lord ASHLEY, Mr. COLQUHOUN, the Hon. E. P. BOUTERIE, Colonel SIBTHORP, Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., and Mr. E. GROGAN. To select a Cabinet from among these names even with Lord KENYON, Lord RODEN, and some less prominent members from the House of Lords, would be a hopeless task even under ordinary circumstances. And at such a period of excitement as would infallibly succeed the rejection of a measure so important to Ireland, even if they were selected, they could not keep together for one week. But placing their case in the most favourable light, and admitting that all the Liberals were rejected and a High Church Cabinet constructed, with a majority too of the House of Commons at their back, they could rule Ireland only by the sword. Repeal meetings, and such monster meetings too as Ireland has never seen, would assemble in every valley and on every hill; the spirit of Irish independence would be one and indivisible, and " death to the oppressors," would be the watchword of a million of brave men. Then scenes would follow which would make the stoutest heart to quail—the subjects, and the loyal subjects too, of the same sovereign imbruing their hands in each others blood—in the north the nearest neighbours fighting as the bitterest enemies, in the south one armed camp—the horrors of Scotland under the persecution of the Episcopalians, the deeds of the bloodthirsty DALZIEL, and DRUMMOND, and TURNER, and the savage resistance of the Covenanters, would all be thrown into the shade by a civil war in Ire land. These are no imaginary evils—they would succeed the appointment of a High Church Cabinet as certainly as the effect follows the cause. And should the power of England prevail, what would the Anti-Popery party gain ? Would the Catholic religion be crushed—would there be one convert ? The number of Catholics would be diminished, but only by the edge of the sword and the gibbet, and the spirit of their religion, like that of the Covenan ters, would only rise higher, and assume a more noble, a more holy, and a more enthusiastic tone. Let these men, therefore, look to the end. Let them look to history, and they will find that persecution has never had any other result; but, above all, let them look to their Bible, and read that the " wisdom which is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits." This is the religion of CHRIST—the other is the religion of MAHOMET. These topics are not convenient for a newspaper; but when religious zeal is producing most dangerous effects on the com munity; when a large proportion of the teachers of the people appeal to religion as their authority, and not only the lives of thousands, but the very existence of the State is in jeopardy, no other weapons remain to counteract the evil. Great evil, we fear, has already been done. The Irish people, who are as much attached to their religion as the English or Scotch, and who have more regard for their spiritual guides, must witness with dismay this unexpected insult. The grant to Maynooth has been recognised by the Crown, the Legislature, and the whole community, for nearly half a century ; and when a proposition is made to increase it by a sum not equal to the income of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Puseyites and the Dissenters, men of the most opposite religious opinions, cordially unite to raise an outcry against the unfortunate Catholics. Mr. O'CONNELL, with all his ingenuity, has never yet had such an argument for repeal as this. Ireland has lung been an object of sympathy to foreign nations—it has been regarded as the great blot of our Constitution, alike admired for its liberal principles and the harmony of the dif ferent points ; and after Emancipation had been conceded, and a generous spirit of conciliation was displayed both by Whigs and Tories, a belief began to prevail abroad that our religious animosities were drawing to a close and justice was to be done to the sister kingdom, when, to the joy of our enemies and the sorrow of every friend of his country, in the middle of the nineteenth century, the spirit of per secution breaks forth with all the vigour of, the dark ages. This is news to the Legitimatists and Re publicans of France, and to still more dangerous ene mies, becau se more united—the States of the American Republic.

Of the several officers of the National Guard prosecuted for having signed petitions against the armament of the for tifications of Paris, thirty-five have already been brought before the Council of the - Prefecture, presided over by Count Rambuteau in person, and composed of Messrs. de la Morelle, Lafond de Ladebat, de Maupas, Lucas de Montigny, and Molin. The officers were defended by M. Ledru Rollin and M. Joly, both Members of the Chamber of Deputies. It was not till Friday that the Council pronounced its decree. Thirty of the officers cited are suspended from the exercise of the military functions of their rank fur two Months, but the five others, having givers satisfactory explanations, were dis charged free from the complaint laid against them." Some of the journals add, that a distinction was made between the officers who admitted that they were igno rant of the existing law, and those who persisted in their right notwithstanding the law. The former con sequently were acquitted. On Friday, the Chamber of Deputies adopted the Bill relative to the arrears due to the members of the Legion of Honour, by which all those admitted previous to the 6th April, 1814, and whose dotation was reduced by one-half from 1814 to 1820, are to receive 100 f. per annum, in addition to the pension of 250 f. attached to the decoration, from the Ist of January, 1846. Those decorated by NAPOLEON dur ing the hundred days are included in this list. The Constitutionnel contains some rumours relative to the negotiations carried on in London on the right of search, but places no confidence in them. " Twenty different plans," it says, " have been imagined for the mixed commission, and the Duke DE BROGLIE ought to have carried from France an enormous pile of those in ventions, more or less ingenious. But the oldest of all was the best—the American treaty." The accounts from Switzerland are to the 9th inst., and we regret to say, very unsatisfactory. There seems to be no controlling power, in fact, no effective executive in the country. Each canton will have its own way. At Lucerne great exasperation still prevails, and serious apprehensions are entertained for the fate of the pri soners. The Consfilutionnel says : "The unusual precipitation with which judgment has been proceeded to at Lucerne, on the principal leaders of the un • fortunate expedition of March 31, had led the Commission of the Diet, assembled at present at Zurich, to fear that the victorious party would have the capital condemnations car ried into effect before the Diet could have come to a decision. This circumstance had induced it to leave aside for the moment all other questions, in order to attend to the am nesty only, and the Members of the Diet had been given notice on the 7th that there would be a sitting next day. But on the Bth the Commission had two of the Deputies of Lucerne, MM. Siegwart and Attenhofer, called before it, and, on the assurance that they gave that there would be no capital execution during the week, it decided that it should resume the simultaneous examination of the pending questions, and the report was to be submitted to the Diet on the 10th. As it is not probable that a majority can be ob tained for the interdiction of the Jesuits, under form of summons, or invitation, this question will be allowed to rest until the meeting of the ordinary Diet, which is ti take place in the month of July. Lucerne will judge meanwhile if it become her to call the good fathers in the midst of the streams of blood which they have already caused to be shed." The accounts in the Journal des Debuts are a little more favourable : " By accounts from Geneva of the sth, we learn that, on the preceding day, an attempt was made in that town os • tensibly to raise a free corps, but in reality to excite a local insurrection. Several hundreds of persons assembled on the Paquis, proclaiming an intention to march against Lucerne ; but their real project becoming evident, the Government im mediately took measures to d►sperse the agitators. They were composed for the much greater part of men from Vaud, Neufchatel, and Germany, very few Genevese being amongst them. The movement was principally directed by two men from Vaud, who have escaped. The soldiery answered the call of the authorities, and came out with the greatest ala crity. In Lausanne itself the Radical Government has been outdone by the people, and has been obliged to resist their exigencies. We have received the report addressed to the Vorort by the Federal Commissioners. It is dated on the 6th, ffom Arau, and expresses great uneasiness, the Com missioners being forced to acknowledge that, iu general they have met complete defiance from the Government of Lucerne and its allies, and that they seemed to foresee a federal in tervention. The Commissioners declare their apprehensions that Lucerne and the lesser cantons will refuse to place their troops under the federal command." THE BOURSE--.SATURDAY, Arm, 12. Madrid papers of the 6th have been received. A settlement of the difference between Spain and the Holy See appears to be in a fair train. The Heraldo announces that the POPE acknowledges the rights of the owners of Church property purchased according to the laws of the State, and a nuncio from Rome was daily expected. The following appears in the Madrid Gazette of the 6th :—" Ministry of Foreign Affairs.—Dox Jose D 4 CASTILLO T ATENzA, in a dis First 1 tit hest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

We subjoin a copy of General Almonte's protest to the Executive against the annexation of Texas. The Minister, it is now said, intends to remain in New York until he receives fresh instructions from the new Mexican Administration, and he expresses openly his belief that war will ensue. The New York Herald states :—" That it is kis intention to issue through the press, and place before the American people, not only the recent diplomatic correspondence between him and our Government, but a number of other views and considerations addressed to the American people against the policy, the justice, and the legality of the recent movements_ in favour of the annexation of Texas." The protest of General Almonte is as follows : (Trltnslation.) " The undersigned, &c., has the honour to adiress the lion. J. C Calhoun, &c., for the purpose of making known to him the profound regret with which he has seen that the General Congress of the Union has passed a law consenting to and admitting into the American confederation the Mexican province of Texas. " The undersigned had flattered himself that in this question the good sense and sound opinions of the citi zens most distinguished and experienced in the manage ment of public affairs in this republic would have pre vailed in the deliberations of the legislative body and of the union ; but unfortunately this has not been the case, and, contrary to his hopes and most sincere wishes, he secs consummated by the American Government an act of aggression the most unjust which can be recalled in the annals of modern history, such as the spoliation of a friendly nation, like Mexico, of a considerable part of her territory. " For these reasons, the undersigned, in fulfilment of his instructions, finds himself obliged to protest, as he dots accordingly protest, in the most solemn manner, in the name of his Government, against the law passed on the 28th of last month by the General Congress of the United States, and sanctioned on the Ist of the present month by the President of the said States, by which the province of Texas, an integral part of the Mexican territory, is allowed to be admitted into the American union. " The undersigned, in like manner, declares that the aforesaid law can in no manner invalidate the right which the Mexican nation possesses to recover the afore said province of Texas, of which she is now unjustly despoiled, and which right she will sustain and enforce at all times by whatever means are in her power. " The undersigned will say, in conclusion, to the Hon. Secretary of State of the United States, in order that he may be pleased to inform the President of the said States of the same, that in consequence of the law against which he has just protested, his mission to this Government is terminated from to-day. Consequently, the undersigned requests the Hon. Secretary of State to be pleased to send him his passports, as he has arrang‘ d to quit this city as soon as possible for New York. " The undersigned, &c. " Washington, March 6.' THE THEATRES. DRURY LANE._ Dupree appeared here last night in the character of Ed gardo in Donizetti's opera of Lucia di Lammermoor. Deni zetti composed the music of Edgardo expressly for Duprez, and he created the character on the first production of the opera some ten years since at the theatre of San Carlos at Naples. The admirable talent which Donizetti possesses of exactly suiting his music to the peculiar talents of the artistes who are engaged in the production of his operas is well known, and he has certainly been morethan usually felicitous in the present instance. To speak theatri cally it is the best fit he ever made, and we think that all who have heard Duprez will agree with us in opinion, that it is also his greatest character. He perfectly embodies the ideas of the maestro, and does him more than justice. It is seldom that he has occasion to have recourse to his falsetto, his voice is never strained, and his full rich tenor tones tell beautifully. His acting too was magnificent, and as a specimen of 'what the highest order of lyrical tragedy ought to be, the Edgardo of Duprez is perfect. Nothing could be more beautiful than the duet at the close of the first act, " Vevianna a to sull aura," as given by Duprez and Madame Garcia, whose Lucia is already well known to the play going public, and who made her debut at this theatre last evening. There was something sublime in the energy which Duprez threw into the concluding scene of the second act, in which he bursts in upon the bridal festival. Awe-inspiring was his manner of asking Lucia if the signa ture to the marriage contract was hers—low, tremu lous, subdued, yet energetic, and intensely impassioned— his every tone thrilled to the soul; and then his burst of fury, as he accuses her of perfidy, and spurns her from him, was absolutely terrific. The last scene was a perfect triumph. The strong man is broken down—the impassioned man has become weak as a child. He woos death as he would a coy mistress—his great want is to die, and to be at rest. Never has the utter prostration of despair been more beautifully delineated— there is nothing on the lyrical stage more intensely pathetic than Duprez's " Tombe degli avi miei." He was loudly ap plauded throughout, and was of course honoured, in union with Madame Garcia, with the usual call at the fall of the curtain. He was excellently supported—the Lucia of Ma dame Eugenie Garcia is by far the best on the English stage, and the Enrico of Burdini was a more than creditable pertbrmance. The house was crowded in every part long before the rising of the curtain. FRENCH PLAYS.—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Who that pays any attention to French theatricals has not heard of M. Ravel, the Prince of Farceurs? His fame is European, his name has long been "familiar in our ears," but his person was unknown to us until last evening, when he made his debut at this theatre in the new vaudeville of L'Etourneau. Verily he is worthy of his fame ; a more amusing, laughter-moving, lively, bustling, humorous, aye, humorous actor, has not appeared on this stage. We use the term humorous advisedly, for humour is the distinguishing characteristic of the acting of M. Ravel. Wit is more com mon among our neighbours across the channel than it is among us islanders, but they are deficient in humour, in that broad, rich unctuous humour, we mean, which keeps an au dience in a roar from the rising to the falling of the curtain. Now, M. Ravel possesses this power, and for two hours last evening (lid he by his acting keep the aristocratic audience of the St. James's in a roar. At first the laughter was constrained —they laughed as 'twere despite themselves, but after the lapse of a few minutes nature overcame etiquette, and peal followed peal of hearty laughter, because, as old Charles Mathews would have said, "'i hey could not help it." L'Etourneuu is an admirable farce,—and who and what is L'Etourneau? Why, L'Etourneau is M. Ravel—a Certain Felix, a scapegrace of a junior partner in a broker's of4ce, who must needs fall in love with Madame Dunois, the young wife of one of his old clients, and who can find no more effectual mode of telling her the story of his love, than that of writing it in a letter, and presenting it to her in a bouquet. The bouquet with the letter is presented. The lady laughs—Felix simpers—the lady laughs still more. Felix suspects some contre temps, looks at the letter he has given the lady, and finding it is a letter of business which he had addressed to the husband that he has inserted in the bouquet, while the billet-doux for the mife has been regularly posted to her husband, and his best of clients, M. Dunois, he hastens to the post-office to endeavour to get the letter back—he cannot succeed—he is driven nearly mad. lie runs about from pillar to post in search of this unfortu nate letter—he gets into all sorts of scrapes --and at length he finds the letter in the side-pocket of his coat, where he had quietly deposited it when he placed the business letter in the bouquet. These are alight materials for a three act vau deville ; nevertheless, in the hands of Monsieur Ravel, they were all- sufficient. He is all life, and bustles and keeps up the fun gloriously the whole time he is on the stage. We are rejoiced to have made the acquaintance of M. Ravel, and hope he will remain among us a long time, and when he dots; quit us, we shall say t o him from the boitout of our heart, Au recoir. The house was well and fashionably attended.

THE FOREIGN AND HOME SHAWL TRADE.—An exposition of Shawls, surpassing anything of the kind which has appeared in this country, is at present at tracting much attention, both from the manufacturer and from the public, at the Messrs. Everington and Graham's, of Ludgate street. The Shawls are all se lected from the best looms of France, Paisley, India, and China, and, although the two first named are pro nounced by competent judges to evidence a great and important improvement in advance upon those of a few years back, the Indian and China are said still to sur pass them i n a remar k a bl e d egree .

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET, SUNDAY NIGHT, ELEVEN O'CLOCK. The arrivals as yet are few, nor, from all that we can learn, is it probable that this meeting will he very fully attended. The list, in fact, is not very imposing, and the weather is anything but inviting. Of betting we have little to say ; the afternoon, owing no doubt to the raia having prevented the customary assemblage in the street, passed almost with out a bet, and this evening, although the Subscription Room was opened and the list read as usual, business has been ex eeedingly stack. The only bets up to post time were 12 to 1 agst Ides. 22 to 1 agst Weatherbit, and 1,000 to 20 agst Fuzbos for the Derby, and offers to take 15 to 1 about Cobweb colt. Semiseria is first favourite for the Chester Cup, but no bet laid. ENTRIES FOR TO-MORROW. Handicap. D. M.

New Match for to-morrow—Discord agst Oakley, Bst 101 b each, 300, h ft, from A.F. to end of Ab.M. (RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.) NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. Our last dispatch was made up to two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and had reference only to such .engagements as had already appeared in print. We were afterwards informed that, in the course of the morning, a match had been made for the following day, between the Duke of Bedford's Oakley and Lord G. Bentinck's Discord, Bst 101 b each, to run from the starting post of A. F. to the end of Ab. M., 300 each, h. ft.—Oakley the favourite, at 5 and 6 to. 4. A second match was subsequently made for Friday, between Oakley, 9st 101 b, and Hartshorn, 6st 51b, T. Y. C., 200, h. ft. In the course of the day, Lord G. Bentinck tendered a formal objection to Perkin Warbeck for the Newmarket Handicap, calling upon the stewards to enforce the second resolution passed at a meeting of the club, in October, 1838, and the fifth resolution of the June meeting in 1844. These resolutions render it imperative on the owner of the horse objected to, to prove his age and pedigree before he will be allowed to run. It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that Perkin Warbeck, as Bloodstone, by Bubastes out of Romaike, won the New Stakes at Ascot last year, but was afterwards proved to be the three yrs old, and was dis qualified. He is known to be by Beiram, out of Romaike, but, as in the case of Zanoni, who is represented and believed to be the Gladiator colt, bred by Sir C. Ibbotson, has not been proved to be so. Owing to the rain very few assembled in front of the rooms before dinner, and the only bets laid were 12 to 1 agst Idas to 754 1,000 to 10 agst Due au Durras, and 2,000 to 20 agst Javelin, offers to take 15 to 1 about Cob web colt, who was reported to have been tried on Saturday with I-am• not-aware, Hersey and Seakale filly. The sub scription was opened in the evening, and the list read before a very select assemblage ; not a bet was laid during the reading, and it was only at midnight that they were enabled to make up the following brief quotation : CHESTER CUP. 9 to 1 agst Cataract—taken I 20 to 1 agst Winesour 9to 1 agst Semiseria—tak.

The Minikin colt and several other horses in Boyce's stables reported to be coughing. MONDAY. The arrivals hitherto have, with few exceptions, been con fined to the usual frequenters of the Newmarket meetings, and, looking at the character of the events to be decided, and the " gathering" of Derby nags in the town (including the four leading favourites and Newsmonger) are less nume rous than we had anticipated. Speculation, too, continues extremely languid, the weather is boisterous, and the pro spects of the week—irrespective of the sport, of which we see no reason to change our opinion—not by any means brilliant. The Craven Stakes not being filled, one of the handicaps was selected as the opening race of the meeting, and at one o'clock Mr. Hibburd, the new starter, made his debdt at the starting post of the D.M. for— A Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, and only 5 ft if declared, for three and four yrs old.

At the T.Y.C. the Seakale filly gays up, and at the cords All round-my-Hat had had enough of it. The Ratcatcher colt then joined the leading horses, quitted them half-way up, and won by a couple of lengths. Mocha and All-round-my-Hat were close up.

FROM THE EVINING rari.ns OF YESTERDAY GLOBE.—It was already known that John Tawell, the murderer of Sarah Hart. be, a few hours before his execu tion, placed in the hands of the Rev. Mr. Cox, the chaplain to the county gaol, a written confession of his guilt. The contents of that document the t ev. gentleman declined to make known. It was, in his opinion, a confidential communication •, entrusted to him in his official character as a clergyman ; and therefore sealed from the knowledge of any other individual. But for the criminal's verbal admission to the governor, after lie had delivered the written statement to the chaplain, the public would have been ignorant of any confession of his guilt. The extravagant hypotheses of his counsel on his trial, and the equally preposterous assumptions put forth by certain catch-penny pretenders to science after his conviction, who endeavoured to impugn the medical testimony by which his guilt was esta blished, would have been gathered up and expatiated upon by the ignorant and credulous. The danger of con victing on circumstantial evidence would have been dwelt. upon ; and John Taw - ell would have been chronicled as another martyr to its defectiveness of proof. The county magistrates of Backs, at their Quarter Sessions held on Thursday, very properly took up the subjt ct of the ell aplain's retention of Jol:n Tawell's written confession. It was proposed by Mr. T. R. Barker, and, after some discussion, almost unani mously agreed to, that the chaplain be sent for, and asked, 4 .whether any, and if any, what confession was made by John Towel', and under what circumstances it was made ?" Lord Nugent was among the few dissentients. His Lordship al leged that " the confession made to Mr. Cox might have been under a solemn promise, or dying wish, that it might not be made public." His Lordship's objection was supported by the Rev. J. Harrison, who contended that " Mr. Cox stood before them as a clergyman of the Church of Eng land, and the fact of being their chaplain would not alter his position. He thought no questions should be put to Mr. Cox relating to a matter of so strictly a confidential nature." We have stated the grounds on which those magistrates who objected to the question being put to the chaplain rested their objections, because they were actually those on which Mr. Cox, when called in, rested his respectful refusal to answer the inquiry. We are not about to argue this important question on gene ral grounds; nor to enter into the obviously difficult inquiry, wnether a confession of guilt made by an accused party, before trial, to a clergyman of the Church of England, ' ought to be used as evidence against him. The caste of a convicted party about to pay the penalty of his life for a crime which he had pertinaciously and circumstantially denied, rests upon other grounds. ° The question is brought within very narrow limits. It is simply, whether the con solations of religion and the hopes of forgiveness from the Divine Being can be consistently held forth by a Protestant clergyman to a man on the threshold of the scaffold who declines to make an unreserved and unconditional confession of his crime as the only repara tion he can make to society, while he is willing to make a confidential and conditional confession to the chaplain, if that officer will promise to keep it to himself? That is the question in issue : and to that question we give a decided negative. The affirmative would be to cherish de lusive hopes in a wretched man about to pass into eternity; and would be of dangerous influence on the public interests. By concealing the confessions of guilt made to a clergyman, at the last moment,by criminals who have strenuously denied their guilt of the offence of which they were convicted, the juries who convicted them are left under apprehension that they might be mistaken in their verdict. The impression produced by' the facts, or the circumstances on which they arrived at the conclusion, though strong as proofs from holy writ when in the jury -box, becomes weakened by the opera tion of time; and the fear of having doomed a fellow-- creature to the scaffold on inconclusive evidence, haunts the imagination, and destroys the peace of conscientious but highly sensitive minds through future life. All this agony of doubt in such minds would be spared, were the confessions of guilt made by-criminals to chaplains only to be made public by them immediately after the law has received its penalty. We contend that a clergy man ought not to become the depository of a conditional con fession. His intercourse with the prisoner is in the character of a religious instructor. His office is to make known to the wretched criminal the Gospel terms on which he niay obtain forgiveness and reconciliation with the Most High. If in the recesses of his guilty soul the convict cherish hopes of escape from the death to which he is doomed by " cloaking" his offence especially if he secretly admit his guilt to the minister of religion, while he adheres to the denial he has put forth to the world—then, in such a case, it becomes the imperative duty of the clergymen to show him the fallacy of resting in such a confession, destitute as it is of the elements of contri- tion, and to publish hiscontession so soon as the wretched and deluded man has passed into the unseen state. For a Protestant clergyman to lock up in his escrutoire such a document as that which it is admitted 'fawell placed in the Rev. Mr. Cox's hands, is, in our view, alike inconsistent with his duty to the hurch and to society. It assumes some mysterious efficacy in auricular confession, which the Pro testant Church repudiates. " If," said the memorable John Hales, " a man be stung by an adder, will he obtain healing by whispering his misfortune into the ear of an ass ? Equally absurd is it to suppose that secret con fession of sin to a priest, who is but a man, can avail to ob tain deliverance from the punishment which God has de nounced against it." STANDARD.—Sir Robert Peel has not said that he will retire from office, if defeated upon the question now before the House of Commons. Probably the Right Hon. Baronet feels that such a declaration on his part might be construed as disrespectful to his usual supporters, if not to the House : but though the Premier may observe a respectful silence upon the point, there than be no doubt that if defeated he must resign. His own resolution of 1841.---that a Ministry unable to carry through Parliament measures which it con siders important to the public interest is unworthy of the confidence of the Crown and the country— would stare him in the face after such a defeat as we suppose. And nobody acquainted with the character of the Premier, can doubt that he bas made up his mind to act in the spirit of his own resolution. Upon the result of the debate now in progress will, therefore, we may be very sure, depend the fate of the Ministry; and every man who shall vote against the Ministerial Bill will, in effect, vote for the dismissal of the Cabinet of September, 1841. We are very far from saying that, in a very clear case of moral or religious duty, a man ought to allow the fate of a Ministry to influence his vote. But we hold, and we think no reasonable man will dispute the proposition, that every one who meditates a step tending to produce a violent, and what may be a mischievous, change is bound to satisfy his conscience that the moral or religious duty which he thinks himself bound to discharge, is clear and certain. Let us add, that con science in this respect is not to be properly satisfied by the echoes of public meetings, or the mechanical mul tiplication of petitions, but by the appeal to each man's own reason and judgment. The award upon such an appeal, fairly and calmly made, cannot, in our judgment, be doubtful. The Bill be fore Parliament does not introduce any new principle, this is certain. It does not go to increase the number of the Ro man Catholic clergy. On the other hand, it for the first time limits the number of these clergymen to be educated at the public expense. It does not go to augment the influence of the Roman Catholic clergy—that is impassible, except by, if possible, making both clergy and laity more ignorant than they are. We do not hesitate to say, that the present influence of the Roman Catholic clergy is at the maximum, and that a more learned and polite clergy would possess much less influence—that Angelo Mai or Doctor Wiseman, for example, would have no chance whatever in competition for influence with Father Tierney or Father Tom Maguire. The State finds the Roman Catholic clergy, such as they are, in possession of unbounded and unincreasable (if we may use the word) influence, and the Government purposes to soften the exercise of that influence, by means which we think (whether we are right or wrong is no matter) must weaken its founda tions—which certainly cannot strengthen them. Is the obligation of moral or religious duty . to resist this measure so very clear, that men are bound to incur a very serious risk in its discharge? CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR OLD COURT (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and Mr. Baron PLAIT.) BURGLARY.—John Murphy and Edward Sullivan, both aged 25, the former an itinerant dealer in poultry, and the latter a labourer, pleaded guilty to breaking into the house of CharleN Filcher, and stealing a coat and other articles. They were disturbed in their depreda , ions by some of Mr. Pitcher's family, and made a precipitate retreat with the above-men tioned property. Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced them to two years' im prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. STEALING Lerreus.—Edward Spicer, a mail guard, aged 39, who was convicted last week of stealing a letter con taining property of the value of 201., was sentenced to trans portation for life. STEALING A MARE. Charles Stickins, a groom, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a mare, value 31/. 108., the property of Charles Bevan, Esq., a barrister, of Lincoln's Inn, on the 31st of August, 1843. It appeared that the prisoner, who wai in the employment of Miss Savile, livery-stable• keeper, of Fetter-lane, was di- rected by Mr. Bevan to take the mare in question on that day to Tattersall's, that the might be sold on the following Monday. He pever went, having absconded. from his em ployment and Sold the mare on the 21st of September to Mr. Webb, stable-keeper, of Gray's Inn-lane, for 161. 10s., giving him a recefpt in the name of Mr. Bevan's clerk. Since that period he had not been heard of, until the 3d of March last, when he was taken into custody at Cambridge, by Police. sergeant Russell, 207 City Police, to whom he stated that he left London immediately after disposing of the mare, and had not returned since, and that he spent the money in a fort night's " spree." The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour. INTENSIVE ROBBERY.-- Wm. Jagger, a middle-aged man, pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of plate, consisting of candlesticks, silver forks, and spoons, &c., valued at 200/., the property of his mistress, Mrs. Shipley, a lady residing at Brompton, in whose service he had been for t h e last seven ' years as utler at a salary of fifty guineas a year. It ap peared that he had pledged the articles at different periods, and had expended upwards of NZ. in paying the interest upon them. He was strongly recommended to mercy by the prosecutrix on account of his long services and hitherto irre proachable character. It appeared that he had a wife, who was now enceinte, and several children. Mr. Baron PLATT, after a suitable address, sentenced him to two years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Upon the application of Mr. Bodkin, who is instructed for the prosecution, and with the consent of Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the defendant, the trial of Mr. Lowe, against whom a bill for manslaughter, arising out of the explosion of a steam boiler, at Blackwall, has been returned by the Grand Jury, was postponed to the next session. Several cases of felony were disposed of during the day, but the details were of no interest to the public. NEW COURT. STEALING A ClllLD.—Margaret Doolan, a coarse-looking woman, aged 28, was convicted of stealing John Swann, a child aged eleven months, and was sentenced to be trans ported for seven years. The RECORDER said the object of the woman in stealing the child was no doubt to palm it upon some person as her own, for the purpose of extorting money. THE NEW .MASTER OF THE HOIISEHOLD.—CoI. George Bowles, the new Master of her Majesty's House hold, vice the Hon. Charles Augustus Murray, who was gazetted to that appointment on Friday last, commented his duties on Tuesday, the let instant, on the return of the Court from the Isle of Wight to Buckingham Palace. Colonel Bowles entered the army, as ensign, by purchase, in 1804, and served in the North of Germany, under Lord Cathcart, in 1805 and 1806 ; and was also present at the siege and capture of Copenhagen, in 1807; was actively engaged in the Peninsula from 1809 to 1814. The Gallant Colonel was present at the passage of the Douro; the battles of Talavera, Salamanca, and Vittoria; the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Bourgos, and San Sebastian; the capture of Madrid, the passages of Bidassa, Nivelle, Nive, and Adoni ; and the investment of Bayonne. He was also present at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and at the capture of Paris by the allied armies. The salary of Master of the Household, which was fixed shortly after her Majesty's 1403.94011 1 is LIU/. par annum. MARKET NE WS.—(YESTEHDAI9) CORN EXCHA Gram During the past week, up to Saturday evening, the of all descriptions of Grain—both British and foreign tho s e market were on a very moderate scale, if we except thu s _ to .
