fourtb bition induced him to resign, yet that the joint occurrence of the two had left him no alternative. Plausible as this defence may be, it is hardly sound; for a far shorter ex perience than that of Lord John Russell might have told him, that although neither Radicals nor Protec tionists might approve, abstractedly, of his Government, yet that a permanent union between two such discordant parties for the purpose of turning him out was, to the last degree, improbable. And if so distant an approach to defeat as was implied in the division lists of the 13th of last month were held sufficient to justify —or, rather, to render necessary, a resignation—(for no Minister has a right to abandon his post so long as it is tenable con sistently with honour)—we should very much like to hear upon what principle the Whig Cabinet—composed, for the most part, of the same individuals—of 1839 is to be vindicated from a charge of gross and unjustifiable adherence to the emoluments long after it had ceased to wield the authority of Government. The obstinate indifference to de feat, exhibited ten years ago, contrasts oddly, to say the least of it, with the very remarkable delicacy now dis played. The real fact, then, unless we greatly mistake, is this—Lord John Russell, with a divided Cabinet, having given promises which he could not possibly fulfil, and seeing before him difficulties which he durst not face, slipped out of the dilemma in the easiest, if not the most dignified, manner, leaving to his successors the task of piloting the ship through the breakers, among which, under his guidance, she had all but gone to wreck. It is, we think, Fontonelle who, describing the position of a friend who had contrived to involve himself in a very serious scrape, thus relates the method of his extrication:—"li e'en tiro en homme haide. Savez Volts ce qu'il fit ? Il mourut." After the same fashion Lord John Russell has thought it better to cut short his political career with his own hand than—although not for the first time—to undergo the humiliation and the pain consequent on a repetition of such scenes as attended the long agony, and preceded the reluctant dissolution of the Melbourne Ministry. Pro bably the impartial historian of later days will decide, that as on one occasion the Whig leaders protracted the struggle too long, so on the other they gave it up too soon. But if we could believe that their conduct on the presentoccasion had been prompted only by ajust, though tardy reccgnition of their incempetenc,e to govern, cr by a sudden discovery that the public had grown weary of their continuance in office, we should be the last to visit with severity so amiable a weakness. But we believe the case to lee quite otherwise. Undeniably critical as was the position of the Ministry, little as they were loved abroad, and leas respected at home, we doubt whether popular indignation, or even popular contempt, would have operated so strongly upon their sense of shame as to lead them, unless some other ;more potent influence had been at work, to quit those seats which, once occupied, are ever so reluctantly abandoned. In one word—we believe the Whig resignation to have been a clever, but not very creditable manosavre„ got up on the sudden, partly in order to entrap the Protectionist party into a premature trial of their strength, partly to show to the country the impossibility of doing without a set of men of whom it had begun to evince most unequivocal signs of distrust, and partly to effect a junction, at the ex pense of three or four of their own incapables, with such men as _Lord Aberdeen and Sir James Graham. That the " dodge"—we,really can give it na more dignified name-ehas not benefited its contrivers is already obvi ous: that it has not injured those against whom it was directed we shall shortly endeavour:to show. DAILY NEWS.—The worst of all revolutions, say the French, is a restoration. There are many who will apply the remark to the Ministerial crisis having re sulted merely in the return of, the old Ministry to office. For the friends of the Whigs were as acxious for a reno vation of the dead parts of the Administration as their foes could be. But the nnreadiness of any and of all parties either in Opposition, or semi-Opposition, to meet the religious and financial difficulties of the moment, has rendered a change of Ministry impossible, and a modifi a cation, for the present, equally difficult. This is deeply to be regretted for the financial interests of the country, which required at once the grasp of a bold, and a steady, and an experienced hand. All the great men who ever took a comprehensive view of the financial condition of the empire, included the condition of India and its re venues in their survey, Sir Robert Peel did so especially when he firseintraduced the income-tax. But the result of a syncope at present in financial legislation will be to adjourn all questions relatiye to India, not merely for a year but twenty years ; in other words, adjourn re form for an entire generation. Law reform will no doubt share the fate of financial reform. Whilst the colonies, which have watched with anxiety the meeting of the Legislature, some of which had sent delegates to represent their case, and all of which expected impor tant resolutions from the Minister—all these colonial expectations will be disappointed; and the most unsatis factory answers will go abroad to our foreign depen dencies that t ngland has been two much occupied by its Crystal Palace, and too much put out of its way by Dr. Wiseman's impertinence, to be able this year to give consideration or relief to its colonies. The questions, however, which have come to predominate over all others are those of the Papal pretensions and of Ireland. For it is impossible not to see that they have become blended end entangled together, and that the one aggravates the other to a most painful degree. Now, however, we had de sired to see this Ministerial . Crisis result in the admission of the successors and disciples of Sir Robert Peel to the management of our domestic finances, and of those of India—and whilst, at the same time, we could not deem any Cabinet entitled to the confidence of the people in preparing a measure of electoral reform, until some Members of the great Reform party were called to the councils of that Cabinet—we all along have held and do still maintain the opinion, that on questions of religious tolerance and equality, and on the measures which, for the sake of public liberty and peace, sletuld be intro duced fer the regulation and restriction of sacerdotal power and aetion, there is no statesmen an fully entitled to the confidence of liberal men as Lord John Russell. We should consider it most fatal to entrust such a ques tioe as the present to Lord Stanley. Indeed, his pro posal to shelve it, either by empty resolution, or by a commission, which would perpetuate inquiry, and with inquiry, religious irritation, of these proposals, the one is too illusory, theothertooinsane, to be discussed. Great as is our respect for Mr. Flume and Mr. Cobden, we do not think it would be for either their advantage or that of the question, to entrust it to them. We well know what tindermined'the old utilitarian party in this country, and whet 'completely marred the popularity that might have been attained by Bentham; sired Bowring, and Roebuck. And we know 01 nothing that could prove more fatal to that now enlarged, invigorated; and promising party of popular men, than that they should come before the nation with a line of policy, and with arguments to sup port it,' that could render it possible to accuse them, even falsely, of religious indifference. If we deprecate, for a world of reasons, leaving this religious question in the hands of either Lord Stanley or of the Radicals, we 'eve equal repugnance to entrust it to Lord Aberdeen and Sir James Graham. Their view of it is, in the first instance, a cowardly one. They evade the difficulty by avoiding and throwing it over altogether. The meerest schoolboy could solve any State difficulty in the same way—that is, not solve it at all, but leave it to assume strength, and return to be grappled with under far greater disadvantages. Besides, looking back to the past career of these politicians, we find that they are the'eery men' who caused and aggravated this quarrel "With Rome. • All must recollect the Bill which the Whigs' brought in for establishing diplomatic relatidns with Romte it' was highly pleasing to the Pope and his cardinals, and, had it passed, would have led tts an amicable understanding. It pleased, however, Lord Egiinton to introduce an amendment, forbidding the Pope to send here any ecclesiastics as envoys. This was turning the compliment hese an affront, and, not merely an affront to the 'Pope. but a cause of disgust to the cardinals arid members of the Papal Co urt y et who was the chief speaker in favour of that amendment? Who carried it by his vehemence against the Whigs? Lord Aberdeeth Now had the original Bill passed with out the amendment, this Papal aggression never would lave taken place, for then the Papal envoy must have consulted the British Government. The true, the original cause of our present embarrassment is no other, therefore than Lord Aberdeen. Mr. Gladstone, too, supported, the amended Bill. And as to Sir James Graham, he took tie little' notice of it as he did of the first reading of the present Bill. And it is now this very party, this very-Lord Aberdeen, who denied to the Pope the privi lege of being represented in this country, he it is that comes clamouring about the indignity of refusing terri torial titles•to papal delegates. He indulges in the theatrical exaggeration of coupling Lord John and the Bull with Calvin's burning Servetus, and the Duke of Alva decimating the Protestants of the low country. Were not this the merest twaddle, we should call it the language of disappointed faction. Men such as these, who can blow hot and cold on the same question, who drive their opponents into errors of which they take ad vantage to-trip them up, whilst affecting anxiety to re lieve, them—these are -not men to whore eould be en trusted the task of providing for the security of the coun try and the dignity of the Sovereign against Papal aggres sions .As far, therefore, as legislation in religious matters maY'become the duty of Parliament, we pin our faith far more in Lord John Russell than in any living states man. There are many politicians who might undertake with more evi g o ur or effect other branches of administra tion. The re may be Prime Ministers more conciliatory, more comprehensive, less entangled in the network of f am ily connexion. A leading statesman with a character to make, may be more bold than on© who has accom plished a long and not inglorious career. But for con government- and l eg i s l ature o f the country ducting the through the waxes of its contending sects, maintaining the .great principle of toleration, advancing that of equality, repressing the clamours of the fanatic, discountenancing the arrogance of the high priest, there is no one whom we could pat on a par with the Member for the City of London. If we look farther and closer than the matter imme diately under Parliamentary consideration; if we con sider how the cause of Protestantism and religious freedom freedom is to be best strengthened a g ains t the constitu tional and argumentative hostility of Rome; if how beet our Universities can be purged of superan nuated bigotry, and rendered efficient for the education of Protestant youth and of the Protestant clergy ; h ow hest the great positions of the Church are to be pre served from those Puseyite priests who, having sold themselves to Rome, hesitate to go over till they can bring 'their flocks tees—if ao desire this, bu& desire it uneecompaetied by reaction, or persecution, or injustice, then,may we hell the continuance of Lord John Russell in that pest, in which the confidence of the Sovereign has placed him, and where even the late political earth quake bag left him standing. Old injuries are seldom cancelled by new benefits. —Eliza Cook's Journal. A meeting of the Finance Committee of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 was held yester day, at the building in Hyde -park. There were present Earl Granville (Chairman), Sir A Spearman, Mr. Cu bitt, and Mr. Bowring (Secretary). SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. MINISTERIAL CRISIS. MEETING AT LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S (THIS DAY.) A large number of the supporters of the Whig Ministry assembled this afternoon, by previous appoint ment, at the official residence of Lord John Russell, in Downing-street. It was estimated that not less than 300 members of the House of Commons were in at tendance. Lord JOHN RUSSELL opened the business of the meet ing by depicting in glowing language the position in which his Government was at present placed, making a special reference to the existence of the Protectionist Opposition, which he characterised as a powerful and compact body, which acknowledged for its leader an experienced statesman, and whose aim appeared to be the reversal of the present commercial policy of the Government, a policy which had produced so much benefit to the country, and which was likely still further to increase the happiness and welfare of the people. From the exertions of that body (if suc cessful) either of two evils would result—either protec tion would be restored, or the country would be thrown into a disastrous state of agitation, to repel the efforts of the o pp onen t s o f f ree trade. Under these circumstances he had called them together for the purpose of seeking a continuance of their support, and of asking them to forego all differences on minor questions, in order to seal the success of the commercial policy which they advocated in common. The Noble Lord then adverted to the Papal question, and said that, while adverse to any unnecessary le- gislai Ecch plan assenl mighl mony thong to dis finanl not 1 ion, be !felt bound to go on with the siastical Titles Bill in a modified form. The proposed by Lord Stanley did not meet his as by referring the subject to a Committee, which I last possibly for two years, the feelings of acri t which prevailed would be prolonged. This he rht most undesirable, and therefore was induced pose of the question at once. With regard to :ial arrangements, he said that the Cabinet had "let since their return to office, but he hoped at the meeting of the House on Friday to be able to make a statement on that subject, which would be satisfactory. His Lordship concfuded by asking fur a continuance of that generous support which had been given him for the last two years—not for the personal object of keeping himself and his 'colleagues in office, bat for the sake of securing that which they all had at heart—the welfare and prosperity of the country. Messrs. Greene (Kilkenny) and Ouseley Higgins, seve rally remonstrated strongly with the Noble Lord on his determination to persevere with the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which they pledged themselves to oppose; even at the risk of the Noble Lord's Government. Mr. Sharman Crawford, The O'Gorman Mahon, and Dr. Power (Cork), followed in a similar strain. Mr. Bernal Osborne next addressed the Noble Lord, and expressed his intention of supporting the Govern ment, concurring, as he did, .generally in his policy, but entreated him to except Ireland from the operation of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Sir Lo Hon. pervt sent con 6 pies CO Amsted Olt] tiottci Antvn /latuibl De Lacy Evans spoke in a similar spirit. d Ebrington, Colonel Rawdon, and several other /embers afterwards spoke, and the spirit which . . tied the meeting (with the exception of the" die , t*" the Irish Members present) was one of strong lence in, and attachment to the policy and princi if Noble Lord and the Government.

The Prussian military journal, the Wehr-Zeitung, has the following paragraph on the active force of the English artillery : " Notice has lately been taken of the number of guns ready for service, that is provided with horses and arti tillery-men, at present in England, Ireland, and Scot land, and it appears they amount to the, for a great European Power, almost incredible figure of 68! .And even these are not in a state to take the field in actual war service, but might be readily made so, or in the same state as a Prussian battery of exercise. The artil lery stores in Woolwich are certainly immense, and it is well known that in this respect England could do won ders on an, emergency; but of what use would be the guns without good artillerymen, and the number of these has been reduced by economy to the extreme minimum. In any case this official admission that the active artillery of the whole kingdom consists only of 6S cannon appears to us remarkably small for one of the greatest powers of the world.' The German Journal of Frankfort contains a letter from Carlsruhe, of the 28th ult., announcing that the state of siege is about the beginning of April to be taken off everywhere throughout the Grand Duchy of Baden. It results from the reports sent in by the authorities, the letter states, that a spirit of order has gained ground very considerably of late amongst the populations, so as to render any further coercion un necessary. The same journal dates that Prussian troops are to form part of the garrison of Rastadt, the Cabinet of Austria not making any objection to such a course. A letter of the 27th ult., from Frankfort, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The projects of the great powers against Switzerland, which have been so often talked of, now begin to acquire some consistence. Within the last week it is positively known that the Prussian Government has transmitted a note to the Swiss Federal Council, in which it demands the re establishment of legal order in the canton of Neuf chatel, threatening to use coercive measures in the event of noncompliance. No answer has yet been given." The Second Chamber of Prussia, in its sitting of the 28th ult., commenced the discussion of the Bill relative to disciplinary procedure against magistrates. A warm debate arose at first on the question of urgency, which was adopted by a majority of 192 to 82. The Chamber afterwards adopted by 144 to 132 the two first articles of the Bill as drawn up by the Committee. The third ‘Committee of the Conference of Dresden, which is charged with the- examination of Manufac turing and commercial interests, still continues its sit tings, notwithstanding the adjournment of the. Con ference, properly so called. It is hoped by its deliberations to arrive at the conclusion of a convention between the Zollverein and Austria. An; agreement has already been come to as to certain facilities to be given to traders in articles of rawmaterial;and on the establishment Of' a uniforth System of 'weights and Measures. The question of negotiating a treaty with Holland had been started in the Customs..: Congress and the majority of the States had given their assenl to it. Difficulties have since arisen on the subject o, the importation of .coffee, and it is doubtful, whether AI will now be carried into effect. 1„: ITALY. Our readers- will remember our mentioning a few months ago an action that had , been corn.. menced by the Minister of Finance at Rome against_ Advocate Carlo Armellini, one of the tri umvirs' of the late Roman Republic, for a 'sum of 42,900 scudi (267,000 fr.), not satisfactorily ac counted, for the expenditure, of the 'Repub lic. i:Messagere of Modena, of the 24th ult., now states that the judicial inquiry, has shown the said sum to have been duly expended,,, according to directions given by the then existing Government Signor Feoli ; the banker, having, by order of the R&. public; drawn a bill for 20,000 f. on Leghorn, and an other for 10,000 f. on Paris ; the former having been employed in attempting to transport the' Lom bard legion to Rome, and the latter sent to Signor Accursi the Roman agent at Paris. 136 sides these comparatively minor transactions, a contract has been produced in court which had been concluded ;;with a London house for 34,000 mus k ets an d 7,000 barrels of gunpowder, for the sum of 6,5001. The tribunal has not yet pronounced its decision on the matter. The Genoa Gazette of the 26th ult.- publishes a statement from which it appears that the intercourse between Sardinia and the Canary Isles has consider ably increased of late, no less than sixteen Piedmon tese vessels having arived at Santa Cruz (Tenerife) in 1850, while vessels of that nation were but rarely seen in that port before. The Breslau Gazette has the folloWing from Milan, 23d ult. :—" The Austr ia n troops concen trated on the Piedmontese frontier have reached the number of 20,000 men, and the garrison of this place (Milan) may be considered as the reserve of that body, as, in case of war, they would be immediately united, as was done in 1848. Negotiations have been opened with the Piedmontese Government, and it will soon be known whether Austria complains merely of the asylum which has been given to political refugees, or whether it is the whole system of the Government at which ate has taken umbrage, in consequence of its, favouring the Propagandist hope of Italian unity. Field-Marshal RadetzkY will in a month r emove hi s head-quart ers from Verona to Milan.,. Under all cases, this measure has for its object an armed demon stration against Sardinia." The Ferrara Gazette , of the 21st ult., s t a t es t h at e arly on the precedi ng day fou r b un dl es , cons i st i ng of 24 gun-barrels, were found near the bridge of ' Santa Lucia; from there being no traces of rust on them, it was supposed they had been left there that very night by some person afraid of being detected with them in his possession. What added to, the singu larity of the circumstance was, that at , the other , end of the town three carbines, a small fowling piece, and a gun-barrel was also found that very mcrning in the vicinity of the church of Santo Spirito. These arms were claimed by the monks, as having been found on their property. The four bundles mentioned above were left in the hands of the police. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The' LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo] sack at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. Lord LANESBOROUGH presented a number of petitions from various Irish counties complaining of the Papal aggression, and praying their Lordships to take steps for its suppression. Lord WODEHOUSE presented a petition from Nor folk praying for the establishment of county financial boards. The Duke of ARGYLE presented a petition from Edinburgh praying that the African squadron may not be withdrawn, and praying their Lordships to take more effectual steps for the suppression of the slave trade, PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT. Lord VIVIAN presented a petition in favour of an improved system of parochial assessment. Lord MALMESBURY thought that the present law of parochial assessment was a most substantial case of injustice. A Committee had been granted by her Ma jesty's Government in the course of last session, and he trusted that the present session would not be allowed to pass without some measure being introduced on the subject. TRANSPORTATION OF CONVICTS. VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition, nume rously and respectably signed, from Van Dieman's Land, praying for the discontinuance of the trans portation of convicts to that colony. He wished to call their Lordships' attention to the terms of this petition, which contained in it an imputation of bad faith on the course pursued towards the colony by her Majesty'S Goverment in this respect. Some 17 years ago, owing to various representatiow, her Majesty's Government had determined on discontinuing to send transports to that colony for two years, and at the opening of the session of 1848 Sir W. Dennison announted to the Legillative Council that even After these two years had expired the system of transportation would not be re sumed. The petitioners stated that not one of the pledges made by the Government had been fulfilled; that even before the lapse of . two years transportation to the colony had been resumed, -and that under the existing circumstances the enormous amount of convict population was not only destroying the best hopes entertained of the moral improvement of the colony, but driving out of it the free population and free emigrants, and lowering the rate of wages as compared with other colonies. The petitioners concluded by stating that in consequence of the persevering in justice of the English Government to the colony, they had no reliance whatever in any pledges which they might make. By the last returns it-appeared that morel than half of the population of Van Dieman's Land wertecoevicts, and he (Lord Monteagle) feared that the eiettarhances which took place at the Cape of Good Hope might have their example elsewhere. Indeed, at present there was every disposition evinced in New South Wales to establish a kind of league for the purpose of rendering the introduction of convicts into any part of that great colony utterly impossible. An opinion had been given by several eminent judges to the effect that the abandonment of transportation as a secondary punishment would be attended with great danger to the administration of criminal justice. If resistance was an alternative likely to arise, it was an alternative that could be foreseen and prevented. No less than 27,000 convicts had been thrown upon Van Diernan s Land alone, and he put it to their Lord ships whether that was either right or proper. —(Hear, hear.) He had now performed the duty ho had undertaken, and as the subject lie had brought under the notice of their Lordships was one of considerable importance, he hoped it would not escape the attention of her Majesty's Government.—(Hear.) Earl GREY did not think it necessary to detain their Lordships with any lengthened reply to the ob servations of the Noble Lord who had presented this petition, but the Noble Lord had repeated a statement which he made last year, namely, that there had been a breach of faith on the part of the Government with re gard to sending out convicts to Van Dicman's Land.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Now, he begged once to contradict that allegation;—(Hear, hear.) All the dispatches which had been laid either before the House or the Colonial Legislature distinctly stated that it was not intended entirely to abolish transportation, but on the contrary, it was intended to continue it in a limited degree, and thought some parts of those dispatches taken singly might lead to the impression which the Noble Lord appeared to labour under, yet when taken as a whole no one could form any other ; conclusion from them other than that Government proposed to adopt a system which should compel the convict to suffer the greater part of his punishment at home, and which ultimately contemplated his transportation to some distant colony ouch as Van Dieman's Land.—(Hear, hear.) He had represented that in this country, where there was an excess of labour, that if his system were adopted, that those persons would be a benefit instead of doing an in jury to the state if a place were provided for their employ ment. The returns had shown that the system which he bad adopted had been profitable to the whole State. His object and that of his colleagues was to send con victs out to colonies where their labour was required. The result had proved that the notions entertained by her Majesty's Government were correct. The object of the Goverment was to make a dif ference in the fate of the convicts, in order that, instead of sending a number of convicts out at once from a state of restraint to perfect liberty, They would naturally be unfit for that liberty, but thought that if an intermediate state was provided, by which the convicts might learn habits of tem perance and order. The result had shown that they were correct. It was true that on =Address had been voted by the other House of Parlia ment, in which, as he thought, his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury had imprudently concurred. His Lordship had, in his opinion, unwisely concurred; but he might say that the effect of their plan had been fully effective in its operation. In New Zea land the test had been closely applied, and the effect was to show that no labour had been so valued as convict la bour. That it was compulsory is true, but it was none the less compulsory on that account. The labourers had invariably proved honest and industrious, and had been a material assistance to the colony. This was a matte.' to be looked at, as the object of the Government was to render a benefit to the whole of the colonial dependencies.—(Hear, hear.) Then, from the reports respecting Australia, he could say that out of 1,618 convicts sent to that colony only 40 were ever brought before magistrates, and of these only 10 had been convicted of any offence greater than that of petty larceny. He could cite other instances. -He was persuaded that the inhabitants of New South Wales would see that it would be for their advantage that convicts should be again sent to that cololy. He agreed they ought not to be sent to Sydney or the large tuwns, but it would be for the advantage of the colony that they should be sent to commence sheep-feeding downs; and on a division which took place in the Sydney Legislature as to the propriety cf receiving convicts, the numbers were equal, and it was only the casting 'vote of the Speaker which decided the question, and when the Legislature should be divided, there wotildelew-bat little' doubt but that the northern district would be in favour of receiving con victs, as every inhabitant of that district wished to have the advantage of convict labour. , The latest accounts he had received from Van Dieman's Land proved that that colony was rising from the depression under which it had been suffering, the demand for labour was improv ing, the revenue was increasing, and commerce was im proving ; the ship-building trade had greatly increased and he believed it would increase; and that convict la bour would be found ,most valuable. The convictions at the police-courts had fallen off, which proved that the morals of the population were improving. The petition was then ordered, to lie on the table, and their Lordships adjourned.

LADY FRAIVKLIA"S ARCTIC EXPED ITION: The intense inteiesi and anxiety still felt in the safety of Sir John Franklin, and the heroic crews of the Erebus and Terror--in particular the anxious solicitude of Lady Franklin—and probably the fact of the Government reward of 20,00 W. for • the discovery of the missing voyagers being still obtainable, have led to the un dertaking of another expedition to sail from this port. It will be recollected that the Prince Albert—, a manageable little craft—arrived here in October last, after about three months' absence in the Polar Seas. During the period she was in these northern regions, much, in the circumstances, was accomplished, traces of the missing expedition (the only distinct and unmistak able ones that had ever been found) having been discovered. Circumstances, however—and chiefly, per haps the state of the ice—prevented Commander For syth and his crew from fully accomplishing what bad been intended in the way' of a search for Franklin and his, gssoeiates. , An attempt under hopeful auspices is, however, to be made this season to effect, if possible, - a search in the same quarter and to the full ex tent as Proposed Jest year, The Prince Albert will again be fitted out and manned, and will proceed to Prince Regent's Inlet, where' the ship will be laid up in such safe and convenient harbourage as can be found. The party *will then preCeed in boats so far as can be reached by open water ; they will cross the' Isthmus of BoOthia, and follow out their search as far to the westward as possible. Where boats cannot be worked, " kyacks ' will be used, which, with the assistance of the Esquimanx, will enable the party to proceed 100 or 200 miles further than boats could carry them, as the , " kyacks " can be rolled up and dragged over the ice. It is proposed that the, ex pedition shall remain. out one season, and; if the state of the weather and the ice be favourable, it is expected that a very extensive search will be effected. The Prince Albert, which has lain here all winter, will be got ready as soon RS possible, and it is hoped she Will be able to reach LancaSter Sound by the 'middle of June. The expedi tion will be under the command of Captain W. Kennedy, who hag come here from Aiiierica for that purpose. Mr. Kennedy has a very intimate acquaintance with the Arctic regions, having served. for a considerable period in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company. He wintered eight years in Labrador, and was the first 'European who explored ,the northernmost pointof that icy coast. Captain Kennedy who passessesinfleiibledetermination, cuorage, and enthusiasm, is very hopeful of success. He 'speaks highly Of the courtesy, and even affection eve r y w h ere shown 'him, and . which the Sympathy felt, both in Ame rica and this country, for the •auccess of his noble object, has inspired. He proceeds to •Oi kney, probably on Thursday (Feb. 27), to engage landsmen for the expe dition. Those who have ,been in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company will be chosen. They will be twelve in number, and with six able-bodied seamen and the comraander,will complete the expeditioti..'Weheartily pray that they may succeed in their noble enterprise.— Aberdeen Journal. TnE A. TLANTIC STEAMERS. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—. Tha first time during many months no steam-ship can ; for the week be expected at this port with mails from New York. Formerly the rnereantile public were accustomed to 'ieceive during the winter menthe, December, january, February, and 'March; only - fortnightly Mails; but since the United States mail line started the or dinary vacuum, much to the public satisfaction, has been filled up; and hence the present accidental breakis • felt as . a proportionately more; irksome and unplea sant occurrence. It: was at one time hoped that the royal mail steam-ship Cambria might , arrive out at New York in. time . .to carry the European mails des tined for the eastern voyage of." the Atlantic; but as she left Queenstown only On' the 4th, and would scarcely arrive out' at New York before the 18th ult., it would' be 'impossible for her "to leave that port on Wednesday,' the 19th; with 'the 'mails of the week ensuing since the departure of the - Royal Mail steam- , ship Canada. ' It is understood, also, that the Cansbris, although open to receive such an offer, was not on her departure hence chartered for a 'return voyage by the United States Mail Steam-ship. Company- Her cargo being also utrumally heavy would require some time •for discharge, so that .tio ,prqhability exists of the usual intermediate mail being received; Several packet-ships are, however, due, and the Royal, Mail steam-ship Africa, with mails of ihe 26th ult., may be expected on Sunday next. She will be succeeded, according to present arrangements, by the United States steam-ship Bal tic, unless that ship should be detained in N ew York, as some time ago arranged, for altera. tions ki her cabin accommodation, &c.; it is not im probable,, we are told, that such would be the case, the Cambria being again brought into requisition to fulfil t h e compave °c o r ps in ,tho.,. meantinae. We question, however, whether anything decisive can yet be stated, and it is at least certain that great embarrassment must have been experienced by the managers of the line in meeting the difficulties caused by the Atlantic's disaster. Great efforts are being made to repair the Atlantic's machinery, and it is hoped that in a few weeks she will be again ready for sea, though scarcely in time to render effective service during the earlier days of the Exposi tion period.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT: - • ' HOUSE OF LORDS', Marsh 3. (Continued from our Third Edition of. last night ) - • - PAPAL AGGRESSION. The Duke of ARGYLE, in presenting a petition from Glasgow, on the subject of Papal aggression, deelated that, in the event of such an aggression taking place in Scotland, the difficulty would be not to excite, but to restrain popular • indignation. He could not agree that the Papal power was a dead power, but a living and an aggressive power; and he rejoiced to find' that' it had been impossible to form an Administration on the basis of passing over the aggression unnoticed. He supported the measure of the Government. - Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition - from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Cork against the Go vernment- Bill for repressing Papal aggression. This petition characterised the. Government mea 'sure as tyrannical e in • that he • could not agree, neither could he. - agree in the - -other terms in which' the petitioners characterised that Bill; but,considering the present state of agitation, he be sought-their Lordships and the Government not to le gislate at piesent' on the subject, but to content them setvei with resolutions of both Houses of Parliament, in order to-afford an opportunity for the present‘ heats to subside. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several petitions against the Papal aggression, and could assure their Lordships that the people of Scotland Would have tolerated no such aggression.. He thotight that a more complete inquiry ought to take place-into this subject before legislation, so as to, ascertain pre cisely the powers which the person lately arrived in this country—who was at the same time a British• subject and a foreign Prince—claimed to exercise. He considered that the existence - of nunneries was incompatible with civil liberty, and theyshould introduce some measure to make the law of this country paramount over,the civil and every other law. Lord BROUGHAM explain'Od. The Earl of ABERDEEN had beau 'misappre hended by the Noble Dukea He had not recom mended 'this aggression to be - pissed over in si ence ; on the contrary, he had said' that he thought it might-engage the attention of Government and of Par liament, and he was of opinion with his Noble and Learned Friend,• that the proper . way of proceeding would be by resolution of both Houses, carried to the foot of the Throne ;° but that he did not think it was a fit subject of legislation.—(Hear, hear.) He was mach mistaken if the experience of their Lordships and the other House of Parliament did .not convince them of the difficulty of legislation on this subject. The - Noble Lord'who was again at the head of the GOV6rnment had already pro pesedidalter the Bill as introduced very Materially, and he 'believed that as further advances were made in the prosecution of the measure, it would be found, as in all cases of the kind, that greater difficulties would daily ariseSL-(Elear, hear.) The Noble Earl (the Earl of Rodeti)'had thought fit to allude to his having styled the measure a penal one. carrying persecution with it. Now, no doubt, whether they imposed a ` penalty of 1001. or imprisoned a man, it was a penalty;:and a Bill inflict ing either was a penal Measure. It'Swas another ques tion how far it might be severe or..nottsbut he would re mind the Noble Earl, that persecution was very different at different periods. People entertained differenthotions o f w hat persecution was according to the age in which it was exercised, and according to the state of society in which they lived. He did not doubt , that when Archbishop Crannaer •burnt a poor wretch for denying the King's supremacy, he had not the slightest idea that he was a persecutor, or that Calvin when. he burnt- Servettis thought himself guilty of persecntiai. He doubtecinot' that Philip 11. and the Duke of - Alva believed that what they did in'the - veay of persecution 'w'as •redeetiaell by 'their tender r4atil for the salvation of souls; butthese ,day S' . were' pest.' lie remepbered having , Oen., and' Own- lieerd sn,ost ele quent speeches in that House, end, eSißGl4llY : ifrQui the Woolsack, to preve.that the Bowen esthetic!! bad Jae cause of complaint, and that they, enjoyed s ,e , re„ry privi lege to which they could with:, rosies t lay elaitna and he bad .heard the 'greatest opposition, ,made, from quarters Of ewioence,to that Bill which ;gave ahem the.-lull pos session of their present privileges, and tebich a great majority of their Lordships believed were properly-be stowed upon them.—(llear.). But -the speech of the Noble;Dailte, if good for anything, was a good s reason for repealing the Catholic Relief Bill, for theawhole.spirit of that speech, would completely, justify, ,suen Course.
