The Noble Lord objected to the Synod of Thurles, but the Protestant bishops and clergy had been as meddle some and troublesome, and more so, than the Catholics, when they dared. Then the Synod of Thurles, had been' equally divided upon the question, and that was more than could be said of the Protestant bishops aud' clergy, upon similar questions. When the Noble .

"The supre macy of which the Noble Ltird spoke was a mere fiction, and it was so from the time of James the Sewed. At the pre sent moment there was - no supremacy but that of the three estates of the realm and of the law, and unless these late proceedings had violated this, it was abs ',rd to say that there had been any violation of the law. The making of bishops by the only power that could make them was no violation of the law, or invasion of the prerogatives of the Crown. The Qu en did not pretend to make them. It was no ignoring of the Protestant Church, because the Pope had 'always iguored the Protestant Church of England, and he took precisely the same view of that Church which that Church took of the Dissenters in this country." _This __was what one church al ways did to another. He was no friend to bishops of Any elass.—(Hear, hear.). A constituent of his had pointed out that this"change was really an increase of independence in respect of the people. Vicars apostolic were subject to the arbitrary will of the Pope, and those extraordinary statutes which he might please from time to time to enforce. The change from vicars apoitolic to bishops in ordinary was for the benefit of the Roman Catholics of this country.— (Hear, hear.) The course taken by the Pope was calculated to relieve the Roman Catholics from much of that ultrainon tane doctrine of which they had heard so much. The. Noble Lord said thata.foreign power had attacked the independence of this country; but the whole matter was one of sentiment. He would admit that the language was insolent and offen sice, and he thanked the Noble Lord for not making this Bill more offensive than it was. The question now was not a question of Protestantism, but of politics. He would look at it as such. And now who were the injured? • The Pope and Cardinal Wiseman were unscathed. The true suf ferers were the Crown of England and the six or seven millions of its Roman Catholic subjects. The gulf which had formerly separated Ireland from this country was this session made • wider than •it had ever been before. This was an .evil of great mag nitude. The Noble Lord had adverted to the proceeding at the Synod of Thurles as one of the reasons for bringing forward this Bill. But at that synod one of the bishops was in favour of the Queen's Colleges in Ireland; but the Noble Lord's policy had united all the Roman Catholic Bishops against these colleges. The missionary powers of the Roman Catholic Church had taken hope from the present. The Apostles put down paganism and established Christianity by the influence of their preaching and teaching. Luther, single-handed, wrested from the Church of Rome the power which it possessed. There they had Church identified with the State, and supported by vast temporalitie,s, aud yet 'they were afraid that this Church would be overcome by the Roman Catholic Church, which had no power here. The Church in Ireland was in such a state that there was not a man in the kingdom that would hold up his finger in sup port of it, and it only required' the Noble Lord to lift up his finger against that Church in this House to have it swept away.—(Hear.) Yet this was the Church which the - Noble Lord said was inviolate. It seemed to be a question be tween the Bishop in St. James's-square against the Arch bishop in Goldenssquare. The Noble Lord said he had con sulted the- Lord Bishop of London on this Bill. He re gretted that this course had been pursued. He had seen that the bishop at one meeting shed tears. It was rather a curious sight to behold a bishop with 20,00 W. a year shed sling tears. It reminded him of a story told of a monk of Cyprus, who could shed tears as natural as he could exhibit perspiration, and who subsequently feigned madness to avoid being made a bishop.—(Hear, hear-) The Noble Lord felt he was in a quagmire. At least his colleagues did, and he thought the better course would be for the Government to withdraw the. Bill, rather than proceed with it. The truth was. the Noble Lord was practising .a cheat upon the people of. England. They wanted a Bill to put down what was called Papal aggression, but the. Bill before the House was not the .measure • that they desired.—( Hear, 11eac . ..) The Hon. Member for Salford said that neither his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. M. Gibson) nor himself represented the feel ings of- his constituents on this subject. This might be so, and the time would come when that question could be settledl but his Hon. Friend - had now obtained the approval, of a rev. parson in his borough who had al ways opposed him, but who now thanked God that he was represeuted by such a man. That Huuse was composed of Six hundred and fifty-six Member& They were supposed to be the foremost men in the country, and it was their duty not to be the victim of a popular cry. It was their duty to stem the cry rather than to be, led away by it. Losking at England with her free press, her progress in industry and in morals, she would be ever able to resist any aggression, whether it came from Lambeth or from Rome. Ile was one of a sect which bad invariably upheld the principles which he had attempted to advocate—one of a sect that had suffered for principles which the Noble Lord had said he introduced this Bill to uphold, but he felt it to be his duty as a citizen to raise his voice to withdraw it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SCULLY moved the adjournment of the debate, one reason for which was, that the legal adviser of the Govern ment for Ireland bad not given his opinion on the subject. Mr. LAWLESS seconded the anciendrrient. The Honse then divided, when there appeared— For the motion .. ... 54 Against it 365 Majority against the motion ...--311 An Host. MEMBER having moved that the House should now adjourn. Lord J. RUSSELL rose, and referring to the length of the discusion which the subject had already undergone, said, that in point of deliberation, they might very well be consi dered in Committee (Hear, hear.) After the 'divisions which had already taken place, he was not disposedlo detain the House by further divisions. • He would, therefore, pro pose the debate should be adjourned till Thursday next. — (Loud cries of •‘Hear, hear.") The debate was adjourned accordingly. PROPERTY-TAX BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of this Bill. AN: a tew words frOm ➢ir. COWAN, which were wholly inaudible in consequence of the noise in the House, Mr: lIERRIES expressed a hope that the Chancellor of the Exchequer 'would not in the present state of the fLuse press the third reading of the Bill. It appeared to hint that the- Committee on the tax, which had been agreed to, should be appointed before the Bill was read a third time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, understand ing that the Bill was only to be passed for one year, consi dered that there could be no objection to its being read a third time. Pile appointment of the Committee was wholly inde pendent of the passing of the present Bill. The Bill was then read a third time. On the question that the Bill do pass► Mr, HERRIES inquired when the Committee was likely to ba appointed?. The CHANCELLOR of the EYCHEQUER could not say until he ascertained what lion. Members were willing to serve on the committee. He was in communication with several gentlemen with a view of obtaining their services, but two or three gentlemen, who he, had hoped would have served, had declined to.do so. He had no,doubt that in a day or.two he would be able to lay a list of the Committee on the table. In reply to Colonel SIBTHORP. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be bad before stated that the claims of ,parties assessed under Schedule •11 would be fairly brought under the consideration of the Corntnittee. . , . The Bill was then passed. The. Apprentices to Sea service (Ireland) Bill.was,read a second time. The repOrt on the resolutions relating to conferences with the Lords was considered and agreed to. TL-IE WOODS AND FORESTS. Lord SEYMOUR moved for, leave to bring in a Bill to make better provision for the management of the woods, forests, and land revenues of the Crown. and for the direc tion of public works and buildings. The measure was, he observed, the same in its general features as the Bill of last year, though there were some alterations is the details. Lord DUNCAN hoped the , Noble Lord would afford an opportunity for discussing the measure on an early. day. A Bill of the same kind was introduced, last year, but it was thrown over to the end a the session, at:d was never dis cussed. Sir W. JOLLIFFE suggested that the Government should take the discussion on the principle of the measure upon the second reading. , Lord SEYMOUR would state when he; brought in the Bill upon what d a y the s econd aeading would take place. Leave was then given to introduce the bill. PETITION OF REV. PIERCE CONELLY. The Earl ot. ARUN DEL and SURREY Moved —" That the order of the House (Nlay 1), that the petition of the'Rev:. Pi:rce Conelly b 3 printed for the use of members only, be read;for the purpose of being discharged." Ur STAFFORD said, the circumstances of this case were somewhat peculiar. .. It had b rmn decided by the ;Printing Committee that the petition which the Ni • .ble Lord's reso lution referred should no; be 'Hinted in the ordinary way, so as to be accessible to the public, ami therefore it had been printed for the uses of Members only. The allegations of the petition were so extraordinary, and affcted so many parsons, and the circumstances of. the case were likely to attract so much public attention at this time, that without in the least w6hitig to prejudice . the case on the one side or the other, be hoped the House would not be led, by..assenting to tue resolution, into the publication of a series of persona lities. - • • The Earl of ARUNDEL. ,and SURREY said that it was the excitement prevailing at the present moment which , in duced him to take notice of this petitioa;' wider ordinary circumstances he would not have done so. He happened to enter the Committee on Public Petitions at the time that petition was widtef consideration, and when it, had been pm posed that it should be printed for the use of Members only. He moved, that it should be printed and published. in the usual way, but his motion was negatived. He . disliked the halt publicity which had been given to the petition, and demanded from the justice of the House that full pub. ! . licity should be given to it, in order that be might „obtain information which would enable him to disprove its allee gations. Mr. T HORNKLY said,.that after much consideration•the Petitions Committee resolved to print the petition for the use of Members, because it referred to an unimportant question, respecting which a Member had introduced a Bill to. the House; but they refrained from printing it for general culation because it contained imputations of a serious nature on t he character of individuals. ' • 1 Sir R. INGLIS apprehended that if,the petition was printed for general circulation the Reuse would be involved in ante her Stoekdale and lii. , sard or [lowan! case. .

All the factS stated in the petition had been given in evidence before the siast kid Court. Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND had known the petitioner for two years, and had seen all the documents quotati in the petition. Mr. G. BEREELEY and Mr. KEOGH supported the,ntotion. Sir G. GREY th ught, that it' the petition was such as it was -epresented to be, the Committee bad exercised ?a smnd diScretion in printing it for time use of ,Members only.. Mr. AGLIONBY thought it absurd to attribute.secr(Ty to anything which had been circulated among .upwards of 600 persons. Most of the ,petitions. would fintl 4 tbeir way into .the waste-basket, and then they would go—twona knew where.—(A larch ) Mr.- HENLEY said, if the bled of the Noble Lord was to refute the statements co ,mined in the petition, there WAS nothiag to prevent hiIII rout repeating them to par- thereto re argument :ompletely irect ion would ledents on lost unsa e a Riffl e Bill, yet should be an uni ) rgued they stions, AS ere—first, included if it did, n Caul°. that its ?

All ar rangements being consummated, they boarded the steamer Jacob Bell, which steamed towards Governor's Island, but turned up the East River and went alongside of a United States revenue cutter, and was made fast, and sailed down the bay. in search of the craft suspected. The Marshal and his forces remained down the bay until Thursday morning, to watch the vessel and such persons as were expected to be conveyed to the craft at different hours of ,the night. The, suspected craft, however, was the steam-boat Cleopatra, which, during all his search, was lying quietly at the pier, foot of North Moore-street. She is a large boat, about 14 years old, and was employed as a sound-boat, to which she proved herself well adapted. She has a large quantity of coal on board (we understand 250 tons were ordered), occu pying the forward cabin and hold, boiler-rooms, and a quan tity piled on the forward deck. She has also on board a great number of large empty casks, which now stand on end, the whole capable of containing, probably, some 7,000 gal lons of water. She looks rough, and not newly painted, nor has anything been done to her to give her any different ap pearance from an ordinary sound or river boat. The water casks, &c., we understand, were ordered by Captain !Wilson, who claims to command her. She was alleged to be bound to Galveston, Texas. There were some sugar-boxes, &c., on board, such as fire-arms are usually packed in, but on exa mining them, they were found to contain hams and other arti cles. Application was made to the Navy-yard during Saturday for some marines to take charge of the Cleopatra, which was granted, and they now have her in custody. Mr. C. Rack lewitz,a young man, a native of Poland, one of the deputy marshals, went to South Amboy on the same day, where it was said some Germans and others had assembled with a view to embarking in a Cuban expedition, disguised himself as art emigrant, and conversing in German win some of the parties, obtained information which induced him to get five of the parties to ceme,with him to this city. Affidavits were prepared charging William T. Rogers,jun. ( ne ph ew o f Dr. J. K. Rogers), John L. O'Sullivan (son-in-law of Dr.R.), Captain Lewis, formerly of the steam-boat Creole, engaged in the former expedition (charged with being, in fact, Cap tain of the Cleopatra), Major Louis Schlesinger, one of the Hungarian patriots, Pedro Sanches, a Spaniard, residing in this city, and Dr. Daniell'. Burtnett, an old resident, with preparing the means for a military expedition against Cuba, in possession ot the Queen of Spain, contrary to the sixth section of the Neutrality Act of the 20th of April, 1818. Tne parties thus charged were arrested and held to bail in 3,000 dollars each to appear for examination." The Erie Railroad was completed as far as Lake Erie, Sir Henry Bulwer delivered a long address at the St. George's Society on 23d April. From Mexico dates are to the 9th of April. The financial condition of the Republic was deplorable. A formal complaint had been made by the Ministry to the United States Government as to the Indian outrages on the frontier, which by treaty the United States were bound to protect. Mexico refuses to ratify the Tehtein tepee Treaty as yet. Tne correspondents of the New York journals say that there will be a deficiency on the year to meet the exigencies of the Government amount ing to 4,0(10,000 dolls. The Minister of Finance was endeavouring to consolidate the interior debt, and to raise a revenue. A loan of several millions was con templated. Truzina and Co., Mexico, bad failed for 250,0001. sterling. Our latest advices from Hayti furnish a more con nected.account of the recent plot to overthrow the Im perial Government, and re-establish the Repuolic. The conspirators, it would seem, were blacks, and not mulat toes. The discovery was made in consequence ot the arrest of a person .who was suspected ot robbery. Fire of the conspirators had been shot. New Orleans is again threatened with the ;desolation of water, owing to the flood in that river and the cre vasses in the levees, both above and below the city. Butterfield's stables with fourteen horses, and several adjoining buildings, have been destroyed by fire at Utica, and the alleged incendiaries have been arrested. Incendiarism is the curse of American cities. At New Orleans, last week, Charles Roussell and his wife agreed to commit suicide. He mixed two tumblers of poison and took one of them, but the lady changed her mind immediately after her husband had swallowed the fatal dose. Ho died. She lives, and has been dis charged from custody by the magistrate. The cause of this romantic suicide is said to have been jealousy. John Clines was hung at Freehold, New Jersey, on Friday, for the murder of James Shields. The night before his execution he set fire to the prison, but the flames were extinguished and his escape was prevented. la few days since a terrible railroad riot, in which six hundred Irishmen were engaged, took place at Hornersville, New York. It arose out of a strike for wages. Three were killed, and many wounded. The military were called out, and the ringleaders arrested. Another railroad riot took place on the Central-road, near Greensburg, Pennsylvania—one killed, and several wounded. Hazard's powder mill blew up at Enfield, on Friday week—one killed and three wounded. A free negro woman, named Barnes, was murdered at Leonard town, a few days ago, and her husband is accused of • the foul deed. A curious - affair recently took place at Rushville,lllmois. A blacksmith, who was a notorious drunkard, with a wife and family he did net support, was convicted of inveterate intemperance, and sold by auc tion, for the term of four months' labour ! During March the New York Post-office received by the European mail steamers 618,990 letters, and '293,264 newspapers; and forwarded 620,161 letters, and 366,916 newspapers. Business throughout the States was in an excellent condition.

BARREL ORGANS AND ADVERTISING VANS.—The following is a return to an order of the Honourable the House of Commons, dated April 14, 1851, for copy " of the instruc tions given by the Commissioners of the Police to the police officers relative to the preventing ob s t r uctions and other nuisances, caused by the large travelling barrel organs and advertising,vans in and about the metropolis": " (MEMORANDUM.

A Tale if Real Life. By Ludy Bawer Lytton. 3 'rots. Slsoberl. Lady Belwer Lytton, in a lively French dedica tion, presents these volumes to the Countess Hen riette iu which dedication her Ladyship's remarks on her own countrywomen are anything but complimentary, e. g.:—"Et ce n'est point etonnant, vu que l'idolatrie du veau d'or suit notre culte na tional, I quelques belles et bonnes exceptions pros, la femelle Britannique (animal sans (mar et sans tete, inaite par_ Buffon) est vraiment une °diens° et voila pourquoi le commerce social eat une chose incomprise chez nous ; car tandis que la France a produit tent de famines ce:ehres et de grandes dames. l'Angleterre ne fait gue7e que rnettre bas (et k bas) des females, des femmelettes, et des fine ladies. La precis4-e ne salt rien, la seconde ne fait rien, et it troisKene ne dit rien." The plot of " Miriam Se(iley" is slight - , and possessed of little or no roman ', tic interest, it may rather he regarded as the connect ing link of a series of lively sketcries and observations, for the most part brilliant, occasionally truthful and beautiful, but more often sarcastic and even taut soil pen spiteful ; as, for example, the above quoted re, marks from the dedication. Amonfe ful and s ens ibl e a d vice bestowed the most, truth ful Lady Bulvver upon her fair readers are some excellent recounnen-. dations to goo d housekeeping and the care of invalids. Her remarks on the requisites for a good attendant in a sick chamber are full of practical utility, anti her enumeration of the excellences of good cookery and plain work versus crochet and Berlin wool, would satisfy M. Sayer or Mrs. Ellis. "-I've no toleration," says " for a woman who cannot do every sort of plain work, both neatly and expeditiously; for there is something unfeminine in this sort of incapacity, and an unwomanly woman is always detestable. Most of U 3 take naturally to Berlin work and em broidery ; they are a part of our organization, like hysterics and fainting-fits; but what can be a greater incarnation of discomfort and disgust than one of your dawdling, desultory women, who neither do nor know how to do anything about a house, but accu mulate disorder and privations for themselves a n d every one about them." Good practical teach ing such as this is seldom put before the novel reader, and such observations contrast somewhat strangely with the flippant sarcasm and not very gentle severity to be met with in other , chapters of " Miriam Sedley." Although " variety' is proverbially " charming," it should be, neverthe less, characterised by a certain amount of congruity, a quality in which Lady Bulwer's very " various" observations are strangely deficient. For example, we are at one moment charmed with some beautiful passage like the following :—" But, in either instance, whether our lot be evasion or execution, it teaches that one great truth, that on God alone we must de pend, and that there is no appeal from man but to Him ; and then, come what may, we shall still be lieve that whatever is, is right, however wrong the means may appear that are employed to achieve it, for everything leads one to suppose that that strange . and complicated tissue, called human destinies, must be the tapestry of heaven, which, like every other, is always worked on the wrong side, showing us nothing but the cross grained shreds and nottings here, and which there alone we shall behold as a beautiful and finished whole. Laying down my load for the present," adds Miriam, " I knelt down and prayed. Oh blessed boon of God to mortals, prayer is the electric telegraph of heaven : it asks for mercy and the in stantaneous answer from above is peace." And then, shortly afterwards, we are grieved to find a hand that can pen graceful compliments as well as Chris tian truths condescending to set forth thoughts so un courteous and uncharitable as those contained in a foot-note complimenting Thackeray—" the only English novelist deserving that name." The concluding sentences of this note will convey an idea of the good taste and refinement of the whole passage : " It is much to he regretted, for his own sake that Mr. Thackeray should be splashed by the literary mud of his present entourage; but as he appears to have the feelings of a gentleman, and neither blows a black smith's bellowa of self-praise, charged with hyper borean German plagiarisms, or writes vulgar carica ture (!) of writers eking up schoolboys' dinners, at inns, or all sorts of fine sentiments against cruelty and injustice, the better to toady and herd with all that is most loathsome in moral depravity, it is to be hoped he will soon emancipate him-elf." If we filled twenty columns with a criticism of " Miriam Sedley " we could hardly give our readers a more just idea of its peculiaritie , , both of style and sentiment, than the above brief specimens; may suffice to convey. Recognizing the talent maid-sa' in this production, we feel assured that Lady Bulwer Lytton might bestow upon us far more interesting and valuable works if she would conde-cend to give her readers credit for good taste and kindly feeling, and if she would, mareover, re inemeer that in order to be " brilliant" and "sar castic" it is not absolutely necessary to be un charitable or untrue. THE LIFE OF COLU.IIBUS. By Horace St. John. The author of this admirable little work has com pressed into a very small compass a vuccinct narrative of the life and adventures of the great discoverer of America, and h-is defended, and successfully defended, the character of his hero against the accusations which the envy of contemporaries had brought against him, and which the apathy of posterity had, in too many instances, left uninvestigated, and, consequently, unrefuted. We know no work so admirably suited as a prize -book for schools as the " Life of Colum bus" by Horace St. John. LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. Edited and Published by John Weale. A compact and comprehensive guided-book to the metropolis has in this volume been produced at a reasonable price, and at a time singularly opportune. Besides containing an admirable map, the work is embellished with 205 illustrations. It elucidates the natural as well as the physical characteristics of London, with an account of its antiquity and its architecture. The portions of the letter-press relat ing to its arts, trades, mataiLc',ures and organizAtinn will no doubt be peculiarly acceptable to the majority of foreigners, while the more intelligent among them will, of course, regard with na small amount of in terest the sketch given of its social, literary and scientific institutions. Sight-seers, again, will turn with no slight curiosity to the numerous galleries of fine arts in the capital and its vicinity ; and these in quiries will be rewarded, moreover, by a large fund of valuable and interesting information. MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED.) COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE. The present number of C o lb urn 4:Pens — viiih the introductory paper of what promises to be a valuabl e series" The History of the Briti s h C onques ts in India, ,, by Horace St. John. The object of the writer is to prove how utterly unfounded are the charges of unprincipled aggression which have been brought against the East India Company. The paper is well written, and displays great research, the writer quoting his authority for every statement made and every assertion advanced, and we must confess that, as far as be has gone, he has completely made out his case. Another most valuable article in this number is the paper of the designs of Austria, in which the writer proves that the im i eutes n . Tuscany and other parts of Italy were th e work of Austrian emissaries, in order to give th e graspingred Emperor an excuse for the military occupation of the Duchy, and that the recent Papal aggression in our own country was also an Austrian manceuvre, as a proof of which it may be mentioned that Cardinal Wiseman dated his letter to Lord John Russell from Vienna, and that almost the only . persons in this country who have ventured to eulogise the monster Ilaynau have been Cardinal Wiseman and Mr. John O'Connell. The autho r o f " Singleton Fontenoy" brings to a close his amusing account of " Pipp's Naval Career," and Captain B3llew continues his " Narrative of the Campaign in Arracan." The other articles in this number are all above the usual average. THE COMIC HISTORY OF RO.:11E. By the Author of the Comic History of England. illustrated by John Leech. Part I.
