Etve LONDON, SATCRDAY, MAT 10, 185 In the House of Lords, last night, Lord LyrrEzzoN, in presenting petitions from Van Diemen's Land, against the continuance of transporta tion to that colony, took the opportunity of raising a discussion on the question of transportation, and of ex pressii.glis opinion that criminals should, after under going reformatory punishment in this country, be per mitted to expatriate themselves intead of being sent out with a ticket of leave to one particular colony. The Archbishop of DUBLIN and , he Bishop of SALISBURY bore testimony to the admirable working of the penitentiary system. Earl GREY defended the present system of transpor tation, which the Bishop of OXFORD deprecated. The pen tion was laid on the table, and their Lord ships adjourned. In the Commons, in answer to Mr. URQUHART, m sta tu t e e n d eed tha e t va t c h u e atin i g t u :b s p i an Da e n n a d . L r k i 3dh troops ts o n 8 8 d i. iteys,et beena ci l t i h b a , c r a a t e l d : Tu r b e id fu n g P ee r s in h e a lp d a n li , t ) ough the Hungari a n he hoped they would be shortly set free. On the motion for considering the Property-tax Bill, as emended, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had considered tbepropoAtion of Colonel 6IBTHORP, and had come to the conclusion of introducing a clause giving the right of appeal to the tenant-farmer, should his profits fall short of the sum at which, by law, they were now assessed. After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP and Mr. DIsitAELT, the clause was brought up, a. (1 the Bill, as amended, was agreed to, and ordered to be read a.third time on Monday. On the motion tor the Speaker's leaving the chair to into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titled Assump tion Bill, Mr. URQUHART m^veil as an amendment the follow ing resolution :—" That the recent act of the Pope in dividing England into dioceses, and appointing bishops thereto, was encouraged by the conduct and declara tions of her Majesty's Government." He did not mean his motion to be a vote of want of confidence in the Go vernment, but he did mean it as a vote of censure, Mr. t.sADLEIR seconded the amendment. Sir G. GREY hoped the House would not, after having affirmed the principle of the Bill by so large a majority as 450 to 90, now stultify itself by voting for the amend ment, thus getting rid of the measure by a side-wind. Mr. FRESHFIELD opposed the amendment, which was supported by Lard JOHN MANNERS, Mr. SADLEIR, and Mr. STANFORD. Sir R. INGLIS thought the Bill a good Bill, but it did not go far enough. He hoped all true Protestants would vote against the amendment of the Hon. Member ter Staffird. Lord D. STUART, although he objected to the B;" _....,, .. _ would not support th e amendment, which had, he be lieved, been framed with a most insidious purpose. AIL BANXES supported, and Mr. PLUXPTRE opposed the amendment. Mr. REYNOLDS supported the amendment, because be was of opinion it would, and Mr. SPOONER supported it, because he thought it would rit - A en:longer the Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL was surprised that Hon. Gentle men who voted for the second reading of the Bill should avail themselves of the paltry and shabby excuse which the resolution moved by the Hon. Member for Stafford aff.,rded, to endeavour to defeat the Bill. He denied that the concessions which had been made to the Catholics were the cause of the Papal aggression, for these concessions were better calculated to prevent any wanton insult to the country which conferred them. He rather b-lieved that the aggression was to be considered as part of a area plan directed against the civil and re ligious liberties of every country in Europe. He be lieved that the ohj,ct of the eggre,sion was to disturb the minds of the peuple of Eugtand, and thus counteract the liberal influence exercised by this country on the continent. Is was not necessary fn. the House either to affirm or deny the resolution of Mr. URQUHART, for the real question upon which they would have to divide would not be the resolution, but the preliminary spr-e -don, that the words " That I do now leave the chair" stand part of the question. Mr. DISRAELI said that the resolution stated a pro position which he had himself over and over again stated it that House, and which he had expressed to his constituents in a letter shortly after the aggression had taken place, and he therefore felt bound to vote for it. • Mr. ROEBUCK supported the proposition, and would take every opportunity of endeavouring to throw out the Bill. Mr. DEEDES opposed the resolution of Mr. UR. QUHART. s4r. T. D. ACLAND also opposed the resolution. The House then divided, and the numbers were— For the resolution ... ... 201 Against it ... 290 Majority against the resolution ...-79 The debate on the original motion was then adjourn( d until Monday next, when it will come on as the second order of the day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has consented o modify the " conclusion" he had arrived at. Moved by the numerous and urgent complaints forced upon his attention from all parts of the country, he has yielded to the "pressure from without," and acknow ledged the propriety of rendering the impost, or rather one portion of the impost, in some degree more equitable than it has hitherto been. The sharp end of the wedge has thus been introduced, and the matter cannot long, be permitted to remain in its present position. The instrument once admitted will be driven home, until the iniquitous fabric be rent asunder, and its innermost recesses laid bate and exposed to the execration el the multitude. As usual, however, the Right Honourable Gentle man has made the tardy concession ungracefully and ungraciously. He has *elected one grievance to be redressed, hu: a grievance by no means the moat glaring or intolerable of those perpetrated under cover of the law. He now affects Some degree of sympathy with the tenant-farmers, and ac knowledges that being called upon to pay the tax on profits that have never been realized may pos sibly be conaiderrd in the light of a hardship. He has, therefore, introduced a clause, providing that " if at the end of the yt ar of assessment any person occupying laud fur the purposes of husbandry only, and obtaining his livelihood principally by husbandry, who should be assessed under Schedule B, should prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that his profits and gains arising from the occupation of such lands fall short of the sum on which the assess ment was made, it should be lawful for them, en appeal made within three months after the expiration of the year, to cause an abatement to be made pro portionate to the deficiency of his profits." This is palpably a sop flung to the Protectionists, intended to conciliate and gain some trifling support from the Anti-Free-trade party. It will, however, totally fail in producing the intended effect. The trifling boon will only excite the contempt and deli. sien of the advocates of monopoly ; it will not neu tralize or get rid of a hostile vote or blunt the edge of a single sarcasm ; w hil e those assessed under Schedule D, and who are charged at the hig heat ratell on the fluctuating and precarious profits of their trades or professions, will naturally feel indignant at the lesser evil, to which the sgricuhurists were subjected, beieg remedied, while the monster grievance under which they themselves were suffering remained unchanged and unaltered. for _h . e amendment of the Noble Lord the Member !ande l : bad been adopted—if the as scssinensnt:hu:nddLueylrenBnchedule B were assimilated to that placed o D, and the manufacturer of corn n the same footing as the manufacturer of to the concessi 4n . teouncto pay a calico, there be no reasonable objection urged W it e freely admit the hardship of A person being 1 that have no real ! an unproductive, heavy tax on profits perhaps and if farming has be comeßut if they should be ex just and adequate measu n re p o s f a I°.bing occupation, a obtained that relief tended to the parties. i n had years, they should suri3:nly :: o better seasons avei . 4 114 ay..sess. be called on to contribute actual gains they might have rcauz,dpo7n to the nen t under Sch.. dub.

The treasures of art stored up in the palaces of our nobility have in several instances been recently opened to the inspection of the public generally, with a view to the especial gratification of the foreigners visiting the metropolis. Among the patricians who have thus endeavoured to add yet more to the attrac tions held out to the visitors of the English capital may be mentioned his Grace the Duke of .N OaTnUets BERLAND, the Earl Of ELLESMERE, and, if we reckon rightly, the leaders likewise of the illustrious families of SUTHERLAND and WESTMINSTER. It fur nothing else, therefore, the enterprise of the Crystal Palace would be a matter of satisfaction from the circumstance of its inciting these noble owners of some of the most precious and remarkable galleries in England, to ren der them somewhat more accessible to the multi tude, instead of shutting them up for the delectation of the house-spider and the cockroach, like that strangely conducted museuin of Sir JOHN SOANE, at Lincoln's Inn-fields, a museum nominally left to the nation by its distinguished architect, but hitherto screened from the national eye except during two or three months out of the calendar. Saturday lust, it will be remembered, was invested will a particular interest, from the fact of its being the day selected for the annual dinner given by the members and associates of the Royal Academy. Upon the present occasion the banquet was invested with a new attraction by the attendance of his Royal High ness the Prince ALBERT, more than usually a guest of importance, seeing that, he has rendered himself more than ever illustrious as the originator of the Indus trial Exhibition. With a courtesy fully appreciated by the Academicians, the Prince Consort evinced a certain eagerness to participate in their festivity for the present season, both because of its being contem poraneous with the display at the Crystal Palace, arid because cf its being, as it were, the inauguration of the newly elected President of the Academy, Sir CHARLES LOCK EASTLAKE. Throughout the whole oroceedings, we are gratified to observe, from the scanty report which has crept in a morganatic fashion into print, that every regard vvas had to proprieties iu any way desirable. Some allusion we should have rejoiced to have seen made to the venerable and lamented predecessor of Sir CHARLES EASTLAKII—a reference which, we conceive, could not but have been most graceful and honour able wider the ciscumetances. We are willing, how ever, to believe that some remembrance still survived net only of Sir MARTIN ARCHER SURF, tile . late dis tinguished President, but of WILLIAM ETTr likewise, one of the most illustrious ornaments of the artistic world in England —a man who, among other things, may, without any er.ravagance whatever, be said to have emulated TITIAN as a colourist. lii acknowledging the com plimentary toast which coupled his health with that of the other members of the Royal Family, the PRINCE ALBERT availed himself of the opportunity to com ment upon the progress made of late years in the ad vancement of art in the United Kingdom, and encou raged his hearers to believe that the successes already achieved in this way were merely forerunners of in 'every respect yet more remarkable. Referring to the necessity of other qualifications besides those of ge nius, adroitness, and perseverance, his Royal HIGHNESS remarked —" The production of all works ie art or poetry requires, in their conception or execution, not only an exercise of the intellect, skill, and pa tience, but particularly a concurrent warmth of feel ing, and a free flew of imagination. This," said he, in continuation, and by way of illuetration, " renders them most tender plants, which will thrive only in an atmosphere calculated to maintain that warmth, and that atmosphere is one of kindness—kindness towards the artist personally as well as towards his production." Carrying out the metaphor rather in geniously, the Prince insisted that " au unkind word of criticism passes like a cold blast over their tender shoots, and shrinks them up, checking the flaw of the sap which was rising to produce, perhaps, multitudes of flowers and fruits." y e t, while maintaining the necessity of preserving a gene rous treatment of art and artist, to the end that their proper encouragement might be secured, his Royal Highness did not for a moment pretend that art should be screened from the bracing influences of criticism, or the artist rendered morbidly sensitive by not being subjected to unrestricted observation. " Criticism," said he, "is absolutely necessary for the development of art, and the injudicious praise den inferior work becomes an insult to superior genius." It would be weil,pierhaps, tor the majority of painters to bear this latter 'truth snore frequently in remembrance. It might tend ellen possibly to justify even in their consideration tl ie words of blati,e sometimes adieus lated by the liti nary men upon whom the responsi bility of that us dill criticism has devolved, men who, although studee to in li'erature, may still, we would s ubmit, be prufi titles in taste and not aicogether ig norant in triattevs of art. Bqkficial also we believe it would be, if the circumstance of HOMER sometimes nodd ing were applied, even if it were only by way of hypothesis, to the masters inthe sister ar t o f pa i nt i ng. S ome reasonable conjecture might then be formed of the which th e cr i t i cs may by possibility be justified manner : I I applying the scourge of condemnation even to individuals who have otherwise and oiler where rem i dered themselves deserving of admirati on . It would I ie a trifle more obvieue) We mean upon that suppositiai a, that because a great artist has painted landscapes of marvellous beauty, and sea-views of. ONDON, SATITRDAY EVENING, pving a well-circumstanced tenement, with comfort able farm-house' and out-offices, for which he pays 3001. per ennum—a just rear, such as would be given b y a solveet tenant, and that of a clerk in a mercan tile house, receiving an annual stipend of 1501. per annum. Under the Act they are required to pay the same charge, viz , 41. 7s. 6d. each. The former has his lands well stocked—cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry, milk, butter, vegetables, flour, possibly (on rare oc casions) a bare, or some other description of game, and many things that make fearful inroads on the in come of the citiaen, are all at hand without trouble or outlay. lie has nothing to pay for house rent, and can use his farm-horses for moving about, if he con siders it necessary. According to the estimate of Mr. BOOKER, he would have a capital of 2,4001. ; the more correct estimate we believe would be 3,0001. or 101. per acre, so that his family would not be utterly unprovided, if he were suddenly cut off. The necessity for insurance would thus be dispensed with. On the balance of cash between what he ex pended in rent, rates, taxes, seed, labour, and all the other necessary expenditure of the farm, and the amount of produce sold (which he would alone take into account), there might not be an apparent profit of 1501.; and he might, and very probably would, consider himself aggrieved, making no allowance for a comfortable house (rent-free), milk, butter, vegetables, eggs, poultry, mutton, beef, and pork, &c., &c. Servants' wages would form part of the farm expenditure, and be calculated in that department, so that if he made what he called a profit of 1501. per annum, it would be available for luxuries, the necessaries being all provided for previously. The clerk, on the other hand, who by un tiring industry and unblemished integrity, ex hibited through a service of twenty or thirty years, during which he had gradually worked up from a salary of 1.5& or 203. per week to the com parative affluence of 31. a week, or 1501. per annum, will first have to pay for rent and taxes for a cottage in some of the suburbs at least 301. per annum ; then 6d. per diem, or 71. 163., for omnibus tares (aesuming that the " Association" will give up the penny recently added). He must then dress rather more expensively than would be required in walking through and overseeing a fnrrn in the country. A large proportio❑ of the balance of his income is abwrip-Al in providing the articles which his fortunate neigh bour receives off his holding without any outlay, while he in vain looks to the possibility of putting by any provision for wife or children, in the event of his unexpected decease. They must stand their chance, and if anything should happen to the father aed protector before they are able to provide for themselves, must have recourse to the tender mercies of the union workhouse. Well may ouch a person envy the lot of the fortunate agriculturist, and bitterly feel that giving relief to the latter, while denying it to himselt; is little better than heartless mockery ; that it is, in fact. adding insult to the deep injury already inflicted on him. yet more miraculous truthfuhr.sb—therefire we are not obliged to accept at his hands a contused Agglo meration of red, an I while, and yellow, and b.,w down our heads before it as before, a masterpiece. Or, upon another hand, that bee -.use a different artist has achieved triumphs both in genre and historical painting, that therefore we are not obliged to see in any wooden face he may be pleased to depict nobility of sentiment or grandeur of expression. Against all shams, of what kind soever they may be, the voice of the true critic is raised in spite of every obstructing consideration. In art as in other things this latitude of comment should, we maintain, be unscrupulously exercised—no matter whether the aspirant for praise be a sign-painter or a Royal Academician. TilE FRENCH. REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Io the Assembly on Thursday M. EMMANUEL ARAGO ascended the tribune, and read a circular ad dressed by the Jug.. de Paix of Sere (Lot•et-Ge ronne), calling on the several mayors under eis juris diction to encourage by every means the signing of petitions in fhvour of the prolongation of the powers of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, " if' they venerated their father and mother, if they loved teeir wives and children, if they cherished the religion of Jesus CHRIST, it they believed in GOD," The Hon. Repre sentative asked whether such language ought to be tolerated by the Government. M. ROUHER, the Minister of Justice, expressed his disapprobation of such coeduct in any functionery. He had only heard of the matter two - days back, and had at once written for explanation., but had not as yet received an answer to his communication. The Committee on the proposition of M. BAZE, re lative to the sale of journals in the btr« , t,ts, has adopted the principle of it, and appointed a Sub committee, consisting of MM. BAZE, EvARIsTE, BA VOUX, and CANET, t) prepare a report as to the excep tions that may be admitted. The Bulletin de Paris says— " The Government is seriously desirous of inspiring confidence, and consolidating order and public tran qullity, at a moment when the country is already in a of :Anxiety in pres,Pce of the grave questions of tee revision of the constfution and the prolongation of 'he powers of the President. The measures which they have nearly decided ou adopting are said to be—lst, An ensemble of new repressive laws; 2.1, The nomination fa Prefect of Police at Lyons, where the pelted is in sufficient et present to repreis the continual awmpts to disturb urde,, ; and. 3.1, A place for removing, f,:r the department of the Seine-, t he reprim dejuqice, vagabonds, and persons ithAlt The President of the REPUBLIC, by a degree of The 4th instant has promoted General OUDINOT DE REGGIO to the reek of Grand Cross in the Legion of Honour, in consideration of forty-three years' service, nine campaigns, and one wound. A French squadron, consisting of six sail of the let Brest on the 6th for Cadiz, where it is ex pected to reamin for some time in consequence of the late events in Portugal. The Bill presented on the 34 instant by the Mi nister of Public Works, for the execution of the Lyons to Avignon Railway, bas just been distri buted. The Minister proposes to make a direct con cession, for ninety-nine years, to.the St. Etienne, to Lyons Company of the Avignon line, which is to be divided into two - sections, the first from Lyons to Valence, and the second from Valence to Avignon. The company is to execute the works under the control of the Government engineers, and is to receive in thirty equal payments a subvention to meet one -ball of the expense, toe said subventi not to exceed • sixty millions, and the company on its side to expend at least a like sum. The State is not to be called on to expend more than 44,000 f. per kiloMetre for its share of expense. The company is to be authorised to procure thirty mil lions of its capital by means of a loan, for the interest and sinking fund of which the State will guarantee five per cent. interest. Tne bonds of this loan can be issued only to the extent of eight millions, until the complete execution of the line from Avignon to Valence ; and when the whole line is finished, the bonds of the loan are to be preference ones over any other payment. The section tram Avignon to Valence is to be finished in two years and a half, and the re mainder in three years after. The line is to start at Lyons from Perrache, where a goods station is to be established, common to it and to the line from Paris to Lyons. At a period of fifteen years after the completion of the line, if the profits exceed 8 per cent., one-half of the surplus is to be paid to the State. Such are the principal conditions of the Bill. The Bourse was aninasted, and the price of public Securities was rather firmer. The Five per Cents. opened at 911. and ciosA at 90f. 80c. The Three per Cents. closed at 56f. 40c.

In Acartnania a band of fifty men had given battle to th , , armed forces, and the mayor Coisouat and five of the frontier guards were killed. 'fhe banditti lost only one man.

The patronage of several or the principal Consuls in London has been given to a system of " Unive.sal Registry for Interpreters and Guides for Foreigners and other Visitors," The information received already by the association as to the immense number of Germans, Frenchmen, &c, who intend visiting our shores. proves the imperative necessity of early arrangements for their protection. It is not by tens or twenties, but by thousands than we are to expect them. It is stated in explanation of the objects of the Registry, and every thing depends upon the character and standing of its managers, that " the Consuls-General for the various foreign countries have also testified their concurrence in the arrangements now completed, and many of them have already recognised this establishment, as a means of satisfying the demand which is constantly made upon them for interpreters, guides, and couriers. A large number of qualified persons have been examined by the committee of investigation. and have been duly pl Ted upon the register—and the public, therefore, can now be supplied by this association with interpreters and guides, whose respectability and integrity have been fully established. Every interpreter, permanently placed upon the register. will be eistinguished by a number, and by a duly authenticated certificate. He will also, when on dut at the Great Exhibition, and at any other of our national institutions, be r, quired to wear an official medal, which will be supplied to him by this association. A proper surveil lance will be exercised over the interpreter when on duty, and, in the event of any dereliction of conduct, his name will be erased from the register, and he will be rendered in competent for future employment by this association. The promoters of this registration have the satisfaction of an nouncing that the whole of the details of this establishment have been submitted to the Executive Committee of the Great Exhibition, who ha' a been pleased to express, through their chairman, their entire approval of the same." The exportation of silver from London, this wet k, has been again considerable, viz., 205,000 ounces to Rotterdam, 179,000 ozs. to Belgium, 4,800 ozs. to Hamburg!), 8,500 ozs. to France, and Y,fitio/. to the Mauritius. Of gold, the ship ments have been 260 ozs. and 4,2401. to the Mauritius, 259 ozs. t Rot terdam, and 52.5 ozs. to namburgh, besides 321 ozs. in gold dust to Havre.

Mr. R.

For one or two years sit e ' s r bonds were issued interest was paid upon them, but tbeog. rears of interest now remaining unpaid amounted to 10 9 In order to recover this sum the plaintiff had entered e. an tachment in the Lord M ayor ' s C ourt on moneys in sion of the Queen of Spain's agents in the City, and the sent rule for a prohibitio n on t h e ground of want of tal/i 3 tion was obt a i ne d b y h i s Learned Friend Mr. Man ta ble Chambers. The Learned Counsel adverted at co nsiders or length to the privil eges and practice of that Court, and to of, veral precedents, and contended that though the Quel p i s , Spain was a forei gn potentate, the fact of the bonds ee o made payable at London made the cause of action aTi Se o ti the City, and gave t h e Court jurisdiction in respect of itLi o this and othe r grounds he maintained that. the rule ougu"'t be discharged. Mr. WELSET was heard on the same side. The case was likely to occupy their Lordship , / tbe whole day. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Late in the afternoon Prince Albert, attended by three.

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.—Tbe anniversary meeting of this institution took place in Exeter-hall last night; John Henderson, Esq., of Glasgow, in the chair. After a few brief observatioos from the chairman, the Se cretary read the report, from which it appeared, that while the circulation of the society's tracts at this establishment in 1799, was only 200,000, and its receipts 4601., its present cite culation was so extensive as to produce, during the last year, a revenue of 62,0 Oi. The total circulation of tract!, since the foundation of the society, was 549,000,000, and many of those tracts had been published in upwards of one hundred and ten different langnages The society had been instrumental in stablishing 712 libraries during the year; making a grand total since the commencement of the society of 6u,733. The report was received with great approbation, and unanimously adopted. Resolutions in support of the objects of the institution having been moved, seconded, and adopted, the meeting broke up.

The value of a kindness is en hanced when thus gracefully conferred, and we trust this seasonable example will not be without its imitator& HARWICH ELECTION COMmiTTEE.—Yesterday this Committee resumed their Scrutiny of votes. Tbe com mi Riddell, ttee decithe ded that they would not insist upon Si r W a l ter revising barrister, giving reasons either for his allowance or disallowance of votes, but that they would re ceive any evidence other than that of the revising barrister thereon. After considerable discussion, the committee de termined on allowing the votes of Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P., and his father, Mr. John Cobbold, which were objected to on the ground of non -continuous residence. The vote of Mr. E. Lawrence, soliciior, of Ipswich and Har w i c h, im pugned on the ground of no n-continuous residence, was also allowed. The vote of Mr. John Attwood, in respect of an estate near Ilarivieb, and objected to on the ground of non residence, was next taken. Mr. J. Baker gave evidence on the point of non-residence, and complained that the notices of votes objected to at Harwich were stuck so high up in side the church door that it was next to impossible to read the m. - --(Laughter.) The witness, en his cross-examination. created considerable merriment by admitting that, as re garded himself, he could hardly read at all. The com mittee, at four o'clock, adjourned to this day. Of eight votes out of twenty-three already gone into one only, an undo fended one, has been established or struck off.
