BRUSSELS, MAT 7.—A dreadful catastrophe, which public report however exaggerated, occurred on Monday last about eleven o'clock in the morning. It was an explosion of fire damp at Mons. The workmen above ground were astonished at seeing a thick smoke arise from the shaft, as they had not heard any explosion ; not seeing any of the workmen come out, they gave notice to the direc. tor, who immediately descended into the shalt with two other per.sons on arriving at the bottom they found a number of men more or less mutilated and burnt, but still alive, and a greater number already dead. It was ascertained that ninety-four men had gone down the shaft, of whom twenty-seven escaped uninjured ; twenty. five were brought out mutilated and burnt, of whom two died im. mediately, thirty-four were found dead, and it is certain that five are still buried under the rubbish. It appears certain from the testimony of the survivors, that the disaster was caused by the imprudence of a workman who dis. obeyed the chief orders which he had received. This workman has escaped unhurt. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baus:ELS, MAY R. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent • • • • • • • Loan of Thirty Millions, Four percent...

At the very gates of Paris stands the Batte Montmartre. Now, just suppose that some thirty of the five or six hundred pieces of cannon kept at Vincennes (not far off either) be conveyed to that height —suppose that seven or eight thousand men be also stationed there, in order to fire and protect them—just suppose this, and I most positively tell you that Paris will be destroyed in less than twenty-four hours." " Don't make suppositions like these," said General LAIDET. " There are crimes of which we should not allow ourselves even to form an idea." " replied the other, " but let us look to ourselves. Permit me to add that the front of the palace in which you are now sitting presents itself so very well to the aforesaid Batte, that I defy the most in experienced gunner not to send his first ball amongst us." This was followed by shouts of laughter, and the speaker continued :—" Thus when you accuse the forts of threatening the liberties of the country, you must own that the Batte Montmartre is also guilty of the same imputed crime. To these suppositions there are but two things wanting —a Government daring enough to realise them, and an army to second it. lam cn vinced that neither will ever be found." When the President was about to put the question of the vote, the scene between M. TRIERS and M. DE LAMARTINE eurred, of which the following is a brief outline:-- " M. 'pliers (from his place) said that he wished to explain why he should vote in favour of the Bill now before the House. He should not have made any remarks, were it not for the speech which had been delivered the preceding day. If he had done his country any service during the last fifteen years, he felt convinced that it was principally on the day when, on his ownlrecponbibility, he had called on the Government to undertake the fortifications of Paris ; there was no act of his life of which he was so proud. His conduct on that occasion had certainly drawn on him most shameful calumnies, but he despised them when expressed as they had been the day before.—(Great agitation.) " A Voice—Order I Order I " M. Thiers—lf what the Hon. Deputy asserted yesterday was true, the Chamber must have been composed, when the fortifica tions were voted, of dupes and traitors, but there had been neither one nor the other. They who had voted for that work had not done so to please him (M. Tillers), but because they were satis fied, like General Haxo, like General Valaze, and like Napoleon himself, that such an act would be of the greatest benefit to the country. He had frequently heard General Bertram' declare that the Emperor had said to him that the greatest service that could be rendered to France was to fortify the capital. M. de Lamartine had spoken of the influence of the fortifications on the balance of • power in the State. Some day or other, he (M. Thiers) should perhaps tell how in that balance the equilibrium had come to be broken, but he should choose his own time for doing so, and should himself decide when it might be useful to write that history. " M. De Lamartine thought that the violent language used by M. Tillers, when complaining of having been calumniated by those who considered the fortifications most dangerous to France, justified the doubt and uneasiness which the measure inspired in the country.—(Murmurs.) But the words of the Hon. Deputy were not of the same weight as facts. He should prove from his own dispatches that he had not the slightest idea of war in 1840, and, consequently that the fortifications of Paris were not re quired, but were nothing more or less than an act of Ministerial dictatorship.—(lnterruption.) M. Thiers, in a dispatch, dated March 15th, 1840, declared that the French and English Govern ments agreed at bottom in their views.'—(Movement.) In a dia. patch from Lord Granville, of May 1, 1840, it was said, ' M. Thiers has communicated to me a dispatch to his consul at Alexandria, di recting him to make the Pacha clearly understand, that France, in order to preserve Syria to him, would not compromise her rela. tions with England.'—(Fresh marks of interest.) Besides, M. Thiess had himself declared in the Chamber just before the forma tion of his Ministry, that ' whatever might. be the aspect of affairs in Europe, there was no danger of a cannon being fired.' Where, then, were the signs of war Where the necessity of the fortifi cations ? Lord Palmerston, in one of his dispatches to M. Bulwer in Paris, said, ' I have given M. Guizot to understand'—M. Guizot was then Ambassador at London—' that the French fleet ought not to be placed in such a position with respect to ours as to produce a collision, and he replied that care should be taken to prevent it.'—(Continued movement.) He respected the convic. lions of M. Tillers, as that gentleman ought to have respected his, but he must still reproach him with having placed his country on the verge of so great a danger, and thrown round the capital of France so menacing a circuit. M. Thiers, in the course of his remarks, had pronounced a word which might possess a personal dbaracter— one that had never been applied to him (M. de Lamartine), and which he should never permit any man to so apply. He must call on the Hon. Deputy to declare precisely what he meant by that ex pression, and when be should hare explained, he (M. de Lamar. tine) should know in what manner he ought to reply to him.— (Tumult, agitation.) " The President—Both Hon Deputies had expressed their opi. nions as they had a right to do. Nothing of a personal character could be attributed to their words. Their political views were alone referred to, and nothing more could be said of the matter.—(Cries of Hear, hear,' and continued agitation.) " Some other speakers made brief remarks amidst great agitation ; a division took place, and the Chamber ad journed. Immediately a fter the Chamber rose, the President sent for M. TRIERS and M. DE LAMARTINE to his private cabinet The following account of the in terview is given by the correspondent of a Contem porary : " M. Thiers replied, that he had no wish to meet M. de Lamar tine, but he appointed M. de Remusat and M. Ganneron to at. tend for him; while M.de Lamartine attended in company with Ge neral Liadet and the Mar luis de la Rochejaquelin. M. Thiers had previously declared to his friends, that he would rather stand fifty shots than retract a single word he had made use of.' M. de Lamartine was the first to enter the President's cabinet. He stated distinctly to the President, and the four friends present on behalf of the two parties, that in the words which be had used in the course of his speech on the preceding day, and which had given offence to M. Thiers, it was not to that gentleman he alluded at all, and that he had never suspected the good faith of M. Thiers. After M. de Lamartine had left the cabinet. M. Thiers entered. and on being informed of the explanation given by the former, he said that as hii opponent had no intention of alluding to him, he could have no objection to withdraw the offensive expression of which he had made use; but he reserved to himself the liberty of withdrawing what he then said till such time as M. de Lamartine's explanation was regularly drawn up upon paper. M. de Remusat was then appointed to draw up a statement of the explanations on both sides." Next day before proceeding to public business the President informed the Chamber that, " in consequence of the language which had taken place the preceding day between M. THEIRS and M. DE LAMARTINE, he had deemed it his duty to call those Honourable Gentleman to his private cabinet; that there, in the presence of mutual friends, explanations had been given by both the Honourable in the opinion of their friends were President)perfectly satisfactory. The Chamb e r (ob served t h e would hear with pl easure o f t hi s er Deputies, termination of the difference that had arisen between two of their colleagues of such consideration, and so well deserving of each other's esteem." This announcement was received with cheers. The discussion was then re sumed. The amendment of M. LAROCREJAQIIRLIN for depositing the guns in the arsenal of Toulouse fell to the ground, as no one seconded the motion. Another amendment was proposed, but no result had taken place at the time of post. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers :— • . - The Journal du Havre publishes a very long letter from M. Lepaire, master of a trading Vessel, complaining of vexations whilst at Ichaboe taking in a cargo of guano, on the part of Captain Brooke, of her Majesty's ship Thunderbolt. The" writer, however, does not reproach Captain Brooke simply with his con duct towards French traders, but declares that he has been equally tyrannical and unaccommodating to th ose of h i. own country. As regards M. Lepaire, however, the charges are chiefly for want of courtesy, and too unimportant to render it necessary for us to give them in detail. The New Zurich Gazette states from Lucerne, May 3, that Dr. Steiger, one of the leaders of the late movement, has been tried by the Criminal Tribunal, and condemned to be shot. The Gazette du Midi of Marseilles quotes a letter of the 22d ult. from Alexandria, stating that Mehemet Ali was irritated at not having received any intelligence from England as to the postal treaty, and has threatened that, if it be not settled within a month, he will put a stop to the internal navigation by the boats of the English Company. Already, it is added, one of these boats, lately built for running between Alexandria and Atg, has been refused admittance into the canal." the New Loan at 86f. 35c. ; th e The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Orleans Railroad Sh ares .

The whole of the convicts brought down on Friday have been sentenced to transportation for crimes which call for the adoption of rigorous punishment, and they will all be sent to Norfolk Island; but 1t is expected a few will yet be received on board for conveyance to Van Diemen's Land.

Among the benefits which alow tariff gives us, and which could be much further extended, is the early obtainment of products, which our less genial climate does not enable us to obtain until much later in the season. A quantity of new potatoes from Bermuda have been received by the Trent steamer, and a sample, we understand, will , be sent by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt to the Free Trade Bazaar. We need hardly remark that at present new Potatoes can only be had of hot-house growth, and conse quently that there would be kere no pretext for the cry of injurious competition to home producers.

The Irish Academies' Bill, introduced by Sir JAMES GRAHAM on Friday, appeared to meet with the general approbation of the House, and looking at the difficulty of establishing a system of education for young men of different religious persuasions, which shall not give offence to one party or another, we can see no objection whatever to the scheme. Schools, and academies, and universities are but ill adapted for teaching theology, and unless a Confession of Faith is laid down which every pupil must subscribe, the great object of such institutions would be defeated, and constant wrangles be carried on about particular dogmas in religion. If such a rule of faith is established, then only one sect can be benefited, and all the rest must trust, not only to their own means for education, but also pay for the teaching of the favoured class. This is the case at Oxford and Cambridge ; and for that reason nearly one half of the community are op posed to these venerable institutions. Trinity College, Dublin, is founded on a much more libcral plan ; it partakis more of the progress of the age and less of the wisdom, or, more properly speaking, of the bigotry of our an cestors, and admits Roman Catholics to certain honours and preferments, and scholars professing the Catholic faith are eligible for a considerable number of the pro fessorships. It is wise, therefore, to leave that seat of learning as it is, atleast for a time, end till the experimen proposed by the Government shall have had a fair trial. Nothing, however, can prevent its success but bigotry The system has been long in existence in one of the most religious countries in the civilised werld, and it has been found to work well. In the University of Edinburgh, for instance, no religion whatever is taught. Catholics and Protestants, and Maho medans and Hindoos may assemble in the same class, enjoy alike the blessings of education, and aspire also to the highest degrees. Such an inter course tends to humanise the mind—it wears off the asperities of different sects encourages g' od will among pupils who had unfortunately been taught to hate and detest every religion but their own, and it often leads to friendships which last fur life, and contribute largely to mutual happiness. The man who can obstruct, from selfish motives, such a system can have no claims to those cardinal virtues which raises the Christian faith above all others. Sir ROBERT Innus, the representative of Oxford University, stood almost alone in opposition to the Bill, and denounced it as a " gigantic scheme of godless education." He, of course, would have religion taught, but only the reli gion contained in the Thirty-nine Articles, and would thereby exclude from its operation all Catholics, all Jews, and all Dissenters—the very men who by some strange infatuation have leagued themselves with their bitterest enemy. The measure, we trust, will have no such opponent in Ireland, but be welcomed as another proof that the Government and the Imperial Parliament are resolved to persevere in the right course, and pave the way for full justice to that distracted country. When measures of such importance are under discussion, it is to be regretted that Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleague. are still determined to absent themselves and take no part whatever in the debates. The fact is thus stated in one of the Dublin papers of Thursday : " We are in a position to state," says the Freeman," that should a call of the House be ordered, it will be disobeyed, and that O'Connell, O'Brien, John O'Connell, Dillon Browse, Grattan, and the other representatives of the people, who labour in the na tional cause, will treat the threat of Mr. Hume and the call of the Speaker with equal indifference. When these men came to the resolve of serving Ireland in Ireland, they counted the cost and accepted all the difficulties of their choice. At pre sent the interests of Ireland demand their presence here, and here they have determined to remain till duty shall call them elsewhere. If duty should call them to Westminster either to resist oppressive, or to improve ameliorating measures, they are as prepared to labour there as they now are to labour here. But they, and not the British Parliament, are the judges of the time and the circumstances under which their presence in the English House of Commons may become a duty ; and should the Parliament attempt to coerce them to attend its sittings at any time, other than they themselves may select, they are resolved to give the Sergeant-at-Arms an opportunity of making an arrest, and afterwards to test by due process the legality of that arrest, and thus try the right of the British Parliament to enforce the attendance of an Irish representative. This resolution was unanimously come to yesterday by an influential Committee, and we lose not an hour in giving the assembled senators thcbenefit to be derived from an early knowledge of the fact." Is there any one of our readers who has a definite matured idea of the office, functions, and jurisdiction of a Stipendiary Magistrate ? A magistrate of our police c"urt-3, we mean, under the organisation of a recent Act of Parliament ? We are so utterly at a loss upon these subjects ourselves—after perusing our reporter's statement of certain proceedings befcre Mr. BOND, of the Queen-square Police-office—that we shall be glad to receive some of those new lights that seem to be illuminating other minds on subjects, our own views of which appear to have become utterly anti quated. If Mr. BOND be right in his conceptions of a Police Magistrate's duty, we must be extravagantly wrong. If we are correct in our views of the end and objects of a Police Magistrate's appointment, Mr. BOND might as well have been sitting at the foot of the Cadi of Bagdad as at Queen- square. for any purposes of redress or aid to be afforded to the QUEEN'S lieges in Westminster. Mr. DUNN, a barrister—whose name, we take it, is not unfamiliar to the readers of Police reports, in connexion with some by-gone passages of " ill-starred hopes,"—presents himself before Mr. BOND. lie com plains that for a long time past he has been annoyed by a person in plain clothes (who enters the office with him), and whom he believes to be a constable : that this man has long been in the habit of dogging the complainant by following him from the moment of his quitting his lodg ings till his return, through every street, square, or alley he might happen to traverse ; that complainant had tested the fact of this being an intended watch upon him and his actions, by purposely taking very short and ab rupt turnings ; still the " mysterious stranger" was a t his heels, inevitable as a tax-collector, persevering as a dun, ugly as an evil conscience. Mr. DUNN wished to know whether this person was one of the officers attached to the Queen-square establishment, and Mr. BOND an swered in the negative. Then he very naturally asks the magistrate if he will take his charge against the police. man of following him with intent to commit a felony. Has he no east- on which to found such a charge? He was seen constantly watching his house when he is at home— when he goes abroad, out starts this Argus from some neighbouring public-house, and sticks to his skirts the live long day, let him go where he will. Surely Mr. DUNN is amply justified in describing this as an " un warrantable and illegal annoyance." What if Mr. DUNN'S eccentricities have brought him, ere this, into notoriety, in consequence of some affair of the heart—if we recollect the matter at all ? Is that any reason for his being put under a surveillance more rigorous than a French loyalist had to encounter in Paris, through the various phases of the Revolution? Does the Home Secretary's system of Post-office eaves-dropping extend to the permission of this clearly " illegal and unconstitutional" practice, known only at this day to the most despotic of European Governments ? Is there any criminal record, any conviction for felony extant against Mr. DUNN, that he should be put out of the pale of that common-law protection which shelters every free-born Englishman, not labouring un d er suc h d i sabilities, from all nuisances of this vexatious and insulting nature? Let us see how thi s case stands.—Mr. BOND refuses to interfere w ith t h e accused, or even ' to subject him to an exam i nat i on, when a: gentleman alleges that he has for a long time past been subject to the intolerable persecution of being perpetually followed and watched by the same party. Why does the magis trate refuse ? Because the complaint is groundless? Not at all. Because the accused denies the charge of Mr. DUNN ? On the contrary, he dues not attempt to dis prove or gainsay it. ." I believe this man," says Mr. D "intends to commit a felony upon me. Will you take my charge ?" Mr. BOND does not refuse because he doubts the fact —because there is no case—because there is no probable ground to proceed upon—but be cause this ESCOTT-of course, letter and figure—is a police constable. " I have nothing whatever to do, Sir," say's Mr. BOND, " with regard to the management of the police." What of that? Has he no cognizance to take of offenders, policemen or not ? If the constable mis conducts himself (he adds) or any complaint is lodged against him, he must be taken before the Com missioners of the Police, who, "if they saw occasion," would order the constable to be brought before him, to be dealt with according to law. But what if they should not " see occasion ?" Now, among the very numerous charges of delinquency which from time to time are brought against "officers of that force" at criminal as sizes—we have seen several of personal outrages ad duced, and in several instances established. Suppose other Magistrates had held the same opinions as Mr. BOND, how would those culprits have ever been committed ? Does Mr. BOND imagine that he is administering justice in the name of the QUEEN'S Majesty, or of the Commissioners of the Police ? And does he seriously imagine that any man in his senses will submit to carry his complaint against a policeman for an assault or an annoyance, or a suspicion of felo• nious intent, before the Scotland-yard Commis sioners in the first place, to be remitted to the proper tribunal in the second, only in the event of these Commissioners, forsooth, " seeing occa sion" for it ? We are really sick Of the ridiculous pretensions and vagaries of the police constabulary on many recent occasions. But, for Heaven's sake, let the Commissioners stick to their drillings and reports, and marchings and counter- marchings, without presuming to interfere between the subjects of the QUEEN and their remedy against any members of a paid constabulary who may have acted illegally towards them. We entirely coincide in Mr. DUNN'S opinion of his own case :—The conduct of the constable has been illegal (unless, in deed, he have a pocket warrant from the Home Secretary) and though we should deprecate all extreme measures, we should not particularly lament if such intolerable and suspicious intrusion on any Englishman's privacy had been summarily chastised in the person of a policeman in plain clothes, whose actions must really have borne so felonious an aspect. Mr. BOND was bound, at all events to hear the charge; hit he seems to have been impressed with as reverential an awe for t'ie aristocratic majesty of the Police Commissioners, es the Inspector FORBES himself ; from whose refusal to listen to Mr. DUNN pre viously, he seems indeed to have liar en h s own cue. From the concurring testimony of the City or money articles of our own paper and our contemporaries, we are induced to believe that the period of re-action in the Share• market, to which we have so often felt it our duty to advert, is not very far distant. The Times thus pointedly alludes to the matter, in its Friday's impres sion :—" The Railway Share-market continues heavy, and the increase of sales depresses prices. In fact, all the markets are in a declining condition ; and some few fancy that the period of re-action has at length arrived." It must have struek the most casual observer of such operations for some time past, that prices in the Share-market have either maintained a buoyancy difficult to be accounted for on all ordinary principles of scrip speculation, or have even exhibited a tendency to rise in a degree to be looked for, under ordinary circumstances, only in the shares of first-rate and long-established concerns which have attained a species of maturity in the continued confi dence of the public. One can perfectly well understand, when the interest on Government securities is so low as that which they at present pay, that shares in the capital of such magnificent and undoubted Companies, or Asso ciations, as the Bank of England, the East India Com pany, the New River Company, and some others which rarely find their way, at all even, into the market, should be eagerly sought after as the safest and most eligible channels in which individuals can make investments. It is easy to imagine that, with a view to the security of their principal, parties may be disposed to buy into such concerns as these, at as high a premium (should the shares be carrying such, in the market) as to leave them but an inconsiderably higher return of interest than they would receive from investments in the Government stocks. They are justified, however, in thus determining, by the guarantees of long experience, reiterated tests, and not merely the unabated but increasing favour in which these Associations stand with the monied public of all the civilised world. But when we find—out of two new railway undertakings —some, not yet in actual working, others but very recently commenced—that 99 are above par, and perhaps 70 or 80 at a premium in the share market, and again that the range of this pre mium from 1 per cent. on the shares of some railway companies to le per cent. on those of others, is not referable to the •arying degre3 of relative advan tages which they are likely to secure to their respective proprietaries, but by some not apparent and not inhe rent causes ; we are justified in surmising that a spirit of gambling, either fraudulent or capricious, must be the principle which strikes these differences of nominal value, where there are, as yet, no practical results of fact and of experimental working to decide the real value of such shares. Now, whether the price that is thus set, be created by the caprice or the fraud of gambling speculation, that is to say, whether it be a fancy or a factitious price, it is equally worthless as an index of value:. If these premises be admitted, let us apply them to the eighty or ninety millions of capital stock of railway undertakings, which the heat of that excitement we speak of has, for months past, kept fer menting and raising to an artificial temperature. The time is coming at which, if we may be allowed to pursue the figure, a vast proportion of this aerated mass is to be drawn off. What will be the per centageof immediate loss occasioned by that process ? When the moment has come at which the operation of settling and realising shall be extensively resorted to —when it will no longer be a question with speculators how high by a little management the) can send up shares on this ur that project over a certain day (all dealings in them, in the meanwhile, being in the nature of time bargains only, and for " differences°", but how low beyond their original cost price they can prevent them from tumbling down, when the disorganization of the general share market shall square prices by the value of money multi plied in the inverse ratio of the discredit that will have infalliby overtaken the scrip of two-thirds of such com panies ; when that moment shall have - arrived, we must be prepared to hear of frightful deficiencies and defalcations. The balance between the prices at which shares have been nominally bought, and must be actually sold, will represent a sacrifice of capi tal perfectly appalling. And all this will be indepen dent of that loss which is always most severe, on the most sanguine or mercurial speculation. What we have supposed above, applies specially to the railway projects that will probably be at a discount—that is to say, to the great majority of them. But there will be a few a favourite few —of which more shares will have become the subject of cm tracts for delivery at a specified day, than there will be afloat in the market. These can only be evoked by the potent but ruinous spell of pa)ing increased premiums upon them. By analogy we shall have the old story re-enacted of the Dutch Bur gomaster who speculated in the " stock" of the unique black and white Verelst Viceroy tulip, to the extent of a thousand bulbs at a thousand guilders a piece. The frenzy of the tulip-mania had just then attained its height, and " the one famous , " Alemaez Viceroy had fetched 4,200 guilders. Our Burgomaster was tempted by what ever amount of premium he liked to set upon his Verelsts, till at last he had disposed of his thousand bulbs for 2,000 guilders each, covenanting to deliver the said bulbs in two months. A very capital operation he thought he had made. His tulip contract shares changed owners, till they were distributed into nearly a thousand hands. The usual panic came, and with it the re• action. The Burgomaster's day of de livery arrived ; and, lo ! there were but 500 bulbs to be had, or known to be in existence. Could the Burgo master have summoned together twice the capital repre sented by the exorbitant price he had obtained for his bulb shares, he could not have extricated himself from the ruin which overwhelmed him. Madrid journals of the 2d inst. have been received. Monday was kept as a close holiday, being the anniver zary of the rising against the French in 1808. The Cortes did not meet, and the Bourse a as shut. The first clause of the Bill for farming the fortifica tions of Paris has been adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. The sum proposed was 14,130,000 f. (5G,5001.), and on a division there was for the clause, 227, and against it, 144—majority, R 3. This is very large majority, and leaves no doubt that the fortification of the capital is now un flit accompli. The debate on this clause was enlivened in a variety of ways—by some sharp-shooting between M. ARAGO and General Parx- HANS, an amusing speech of M. ALLARD (the reporter of the Bill), and a personal quarrel between M. THIERS and M. DE LAMARTINE. The philosopher, when the affair became serious, had no chance with the General, and was compelled to admit that many of his calculations and conclusions, made at a former sitting, were quite untenable.

The Manchester Courier, of Saturday,contains along letter from Lord Francis Egerton, in reply to the remonstrances of many of his constitutents on the subject of his recent vote in favour of the grant to Maynooth. It appears that one of his Lordship's correspondents has thought proper to express his regret at Lord Francis Egerton's vote in the following, certainly not most refined, language :—" I regret it also be cause it gives the lie to almost all the other actions of your Lordship's honoured life." FroM the charge of inconsistency thus recklessly brought against him, the Noble Lord vindi cates himself in the following calm and gentlemanly manner : " It is clear from the latter passage that one of the few incldeuts of my life worth the notice of the writer or any one else, had altogether escaped it. I changed m 7 name in 1833, and this cir cumstance may possibly accou.,t for his evident unconsciousness that in 1825 I moved a resolution for the payment of the ftoman Catholic clergy in Ireland. I nave never, with respect to the justice and policy of that proposal, altered the opinions which induced use to make, and a majority of a purely Protestant House of Commons to accept it ; but I can also say, what is more to the purpose of this letter, that I have not to my recollection or know ledge, in any assembly, public or private, given any reason or ground for the supposition that I had done so. It is true that, as far as I am aware, the subject was never brought into discussion at any county meeting, but that is not my fault. It was a topic per fectly open to any of my opponents, Churchman or Dissenter, to bring forward, even if my supporters chose to avoid it. It was embalmed in Hansard ready for use; I never shrunk from it; if I had seen reason to de so, I should not Wave twice solicited and obtained the services of a 'Kaman Catholic gentleman for rey tr).. mittation at the hustings of Newton. If I had exchanged nsy opi. nions of 1825 for those which I am now invited to adopt, I could not have even asked for his vote." With regard to the warnings held out to him by his former supporters, he says— "l am now warned—l cannot call it threatened—that my votes will lose me support which I value, and coedidence I have been proud to enjoy. I make no pretence to indifference on receiving these intimations. I view them with deep regret, because I con. eider them as indications that a state of opinion prevails is a meet Important and valuable class of my countrymen, which, in propor tion to the good qualities of those who hold it, is dangerons to the security of the state and the integrity of the empire." Such an opinion so expressed by such a man would, we should hope, cause those opponents of the Maynooth Bill, and who have not altogether suffered their reason to be swamped by their passions, to pause in their career, and to consider well the consequences of their conduct before they give themselves up to do the work of bigotry and fanaticism. Lord Francis Egerton resigns his seat for South Lancashire. He, however, disclaims the honours of political martyrdom. " In an ordinary, but Incerrect acceptation of the word, I am a martyr; not, however, to Maynooth, but to disease, which in. capacitates me for the public service; and this circumstance will preclude me from becoming one in the real intent of the term." After expressing his respect for the religious convictions in which the remonstrances on the subject of Maynooth have had their origin, Lord Francis Egerton concludes in the following terms:— " As it happens, be the principles what they may on which the Government of this empire is henceforth to be conducted, I can have but little share or influence in the matter. I confess that, if that Government is to be administered on the assumption that our Roman Catholic fellow-countzymen are idolators—if that theory is to be worked out to its consequences, I shall be thankful that cir cumstances, however distressing in themselves, operate to release me from the 650th share of responsibility for the welfare of the State, to which, as a Member of Parliament, I now consider myself liable." We trust that all men of all parties will ponder well this the deliberate record of the opinions of a Christian gen tleman, a man of honour, a true statesman, and a profound scholar. : Where can there be found a man who is all these willing to incur that responsibility from which Lord Francis Egerton shrinks.
