FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE. —The increased grant to Maynooth Col lege was the subject of two notices of motions last even ing in the House of Commons. Sir Robert Peel gave notice that he should, on the 3d of May, move that the House take into consideration the proposed grant to May nooth. Mr. Ward gave notice that he should, on a fu ture day, propose that all further money grants for the purpose of religion, be made out of the funds appro priated to the maintenance of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It will be at once seen that these two notices involve the entire controversy to which the proposed in creased grant to Maynooth necessarily gives rise. First, the expediency of the proposed increase. Secondly, the funds out of which the increased grant to Maynooth shall be supplied. The former applies itself to the pro priety of endowing Popery at ali ; the latter raises the question, whether the very ample revenues of the Church of the minority ought not to provide the funds for this increased amount tikthe ecclesiastical school of the majority ? It is already know n that the Premier intends to make this increased annual sum to Maynooth a permanent payment. It will there fore be no longer the theme of annual debate in the House of Commons, or of strife out of doors. The question, if settled now, will be settled once for all— this, at least, is the intention of the Government. Sir Robert Peel has afforded ample time for deli beration. Whether the Right Hon. Baronet was desirous of feeling his way before he encountered the formi dable opposition, both within and without the walls of Parliament, which he is aware is preparing to meet his proposal, and therefore fixed a distant day, to afford him time for conciliating the malcontents on his own side of the House ; or whether, relying upon his subservient majority, he look s down rom the height of his, power upon the contemptible things which venture to lift up their puny voices ogainst his will—whom be leaves to complain, or to be silent, as they may be disposed— it may not be easy to decide. The six weeks will be employed in preparing for a resistance to this measure more formidable than any which the Government has had to deal with since its accession to office. We have some claim on the confidence of Minis ters, so far as pre-monitions of such movements are con cerned. We cautioned and warned them against the storm which was preparing for their factory-children education scheme in 1842. The tokens of that well arranged and simultaneous agitation, provoked by an uncalled-for attempt by the Government to cripple, if not to destroy, the Sunday and week-day schools of the Wesleyans, and other bodies of Dissenters from the Es tablished Church, resulted in that cordial union of the sectaries before which the power of the Government was weakness. Have Sir Robert Peel and Sir J. Graham so soon lost the impressions made on them by the scenes which the House of Commons exhibited, night after night, in April and May, 1842 ? The table and floor of the House literally covered with petitions—the agitation out of doors increasing as the Government evinced a disposition to recede—until, at length, unable to subdue the storm it had excited, and fear ful of encountering its energy, the obnoxious measure was withdrawn. The same spirit has been again suc cessfully invoked. The same indomitable opposition is in preparation. The stern determination which pervaded the different bodies of sectaries in 1842 and which they embodied in the many thousands of numerously-signed petitions with which they importuned the House of Commons to reject the measure—is rapidly taking possession of those stern hereditary adherents to Protestantism, and firm opponents of Popery in its creeds and practices. We write advisedly. We state with confidence that there will be an opposition as firm, as numerous, as well concocted and arranged, as energetically expressed in hosts of petitions as numerously signed, and as earnestly enforced, to this attempt to endow the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth out of the national revenue as any measure which has ema nated from the expediency-guided Cabinet of Sir - Robert Peel ; or would have been called forth had such a measure been proposed by a Whig Administration, reiie Of ace, 'to - "de:iote• 'i~-=as he would then have denounced it—as a measure fraught with danger to the Protestant institutions of the land. The members of the Established Church in both countries will, to a very large extent, swell this torrent of discontent with the Premier's proposed endowment of Popery. To the na tional jealousy of the real or imaginary aggressive policy of the Roman Catholic religion which pervades the great majority of the people of England and Scotland, every class of the Irish Protestants will be added. Sir R. Peel's policy in Opposition was to preserve and foment these feelings. He employed them to gain the object of his ambition. Can he complain if they do not now sub side?

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GLERKEIV WELL. A strong able-bodied Irish labourer came before Mr. Combo, who, in consequence of his statement, sent for the relieving overseer of Clerkenwell parish. Mr. Dyer, and several of the parochial authorities attended, in consequence, the case being one of great importance to tha parish, as it involved to a considerable extent the principle upon which the unemployed Irish labourers, resident in the metropolis, and who abound in Clerken well more than any other London parish, are to be dealt with. Mr. CONDE said that, in order to prevent an ex parte statement, prejudicial to the authorities of Clerkenwell parish, going forth, he had sent for the overseer, and directed the man to repeat his statement. The applicant, who possessed in an uncommon degree the native shrewdness of his country, said that he did not wish to make any complaint against the parochial officers. He had resided in Clerkenwell parish for he last 18 years, had married in it, and his three children were born there. He was a bricklayer's labourer, and could refer for character to those who had employed him. When the weather was open, he had always plenty of work ; but during the last two months brick laying was almost entirely suspended, in consequence of the frost. In order to support himself and family during that time, he had pawned every thing he could at all spare in the shape of clothes and otherwise, so that his little room was stripped of almost everything. During the 18 years he had been in the parish, he had never be fore applied for parochial relief ; but starvation staring him in the face, he reluctantly went to the work house on Friday last, and on that and on the following day received a 41b. loaf, and on the first occasion 6d. Tliey, however, refused to give him any , more out-door relief unless he went into the workhouse, and suffered himself and family to be passed to Ireland. Mr. Comm—And why did you not comply ? Appli cant—lf I went to Ireland I would not know whi ch way to turn my head when I got there. Nobody knows me. I came over here a boy ; my children are English by birth ; nobody cares for me in Ireland. I have con ducted myself well here, and so has my wife. We would be all friendless in Ireland. I hope the English will not turn their back upon us, but help us whilst we cannot help ourselves, which I hope will be but a very short time. I would not make the request if the weather would allow my master to give me work. Mr. Dyer said the applicant was commonly known as the Attorney-General of the Irish in London ; he, how ever, knew nothing to his prejudice, and he certainly had never troubled the parish before Friday last. They had no sooner relieved him on that day than an immense number of unemployed Irish labourers came to the workhouse making similar applications, and in justice to the rate-payers they . felt bound to deny further relief unless they, with their families , e n tered the workhouse, and were passed to Ireland. There were thousands of Irish in London similarly circu mstan ced. Mr. ComM—Well, but really I thi n k t hi s man ' s claims are not of an ordinary character. His family are in great distress. He has been in the parish eighteen years. He never sought relief before. It appears he is industrious and well conducted. The assistance he asks for is but temporary, and I think you might give him a little help until the open weather comes. Mr. Dyer—But our workhouse is now filled with bricklayers, plasterers, and other mechanics. The rates are heavy, and I fear I cannot do so. Mr. COSIBE.—Oh, come, now, give him something. Mr. Dyer.—Will he work in the stone -yard ? I'd rather have wo A rk pp t l h ic a a n n t t h . ; Y moneyeGod bless your Worship, I'll work whatever I earn. Applicant.— Yes, and w i glad tho u to t work. get t. Mr. Dyer then consented to give him w or k i n th e stone-yard, and the poor fellow left the C our t h av i ng thankedthe Magistrate with tears in his eyes, f or hi s kindness.

The work embraces the most important period in the history of France, next to the great convulsion of the preceding century, when the French throne was overturned, the nobility and clergy expelled from the country, war declared against not only the ancient institutions of France, but against monarchy in every shape ; and the golden age of pure republicanism, upright govern ment, and stern patriotism, was proclaimed to ad miring nations. About the period when these delu sions had nearly passed away, when France was saturated with blood, and anarchy was triumphant, the " man of the age" became at once the most pro minent character among generals and orators and statesmen ; some of them rendered illustrious by great deeds and many of them detested, execrated and held up to public indignation as the most ruth less of mankind. The scene is full of the stirring events, and embraces a period of fifteen years from 1800 to 1815, when the fatal battle of Waterloo ter minated Bonaparte's career of glory, banished him from France, and established a general peace which has now lasted for thirty years. In compiling a history abounding in so many great and glorious events for his native country, M. Thiers has advantages which no writer of the age possesses to the same extent. He is a man of the first-rate abili ties, of great energy, tact, perseverance, and compre hensive views—he has for more than twenty years taken an active part in the political affairs of the country, either as a writer in the leading journals, a Member of Parliament, or a Minister of State ; and, at the great revolution of 1830, was one of the most active agents in rousing the whole of France against the imbecile, tyrannical, m.d worn-out dynasty of the Bourbons. Since that time he has filled almost every important office in the State. He has been Mi nister of Finance, Minister of the Interior, Minister fur Foreign Affairs, and, finally, Prime Minister. lle has therefore enjoyed facilities of no ordinary kind for procuring from original documents materials for his work. In addition to these appointments, he was also at one time Keeper of the Archives of the State, and had access to diplomatic papers and documents not only relating to late events, but to those embraced in the work. It is said he also possesses many diaries, letters, and memoirs hitherto unpublished, while the principal men who had served under Napoleon have supplied him with a great deal of information on striking events; some of them still very doubtful as to their origin. Ile has devoted, too, many years to the undertaking. He has travelled to witness the scenes of French glory, perhaps, too, placed his future fame on his history, knowing well that a Secretary of State, a Prime Minister, nay a Sovereign in distant ages is generally a very ob scure and ignoble character when placed by the side of a powerful writer, and, above all, of an impartial, spirited, and eloquent historian. That fame he ap pears to keep in view, for, though partial to his own country (and that is no blame), though enthusiasti cally worshipping the hero of his story, and proud of deeds which surprised the world, he rarely diverges from the truth; he blames Bonaparte for his despotism, and praises Siey6s for his skill in manufacturing con stitutions. In reference to the Constitution of the year VIII., he says : " The plan of Di.

The present Company has bean formed for the purpose of guaran teeing to the trade between the Tyne and the Thames the benefit of a moderate and fixed rate of charges, and of preventing shippers from being subjected to imposition, caprice, or fluctuation of charge. In order to effectuate these objects, a scale of freights and fares has been framed to the entire satisfaction of shippers. It has been clearly ascertained that the proposed rates will secure a profitable return to the Shareholders ; and, with the view of open ing more extensively the London markets, and of giving Increased facilities to the trade, it has been determined to place on the station two first-class efficient steam-vessels. The trade of the district is already quite adequate to give ample employment to two steam-vessels, and a large increase may be ex pected from the late remission of duties, which must act as a power ful stimulus to the manufactures of the Tyne. The Shareholders of the Company will consist almost entirely of persons engaged in the manufactures and commerce of the district, including the majority of west-country shippers; full employment to the vessels, and a liberal remuneration to the Shareholders, may therefore be safely relied on. The advantages of steam navigation have never yet been fully de veloped in the port of Newcastle. The present Company, however, will act in conjunction with a Committee appointed by the trade; and it cannot be doubted that the best results will follow from a mode of conveyance so much in accordance Win... ei tne traae, con- It _will be with the utmost economy and regularity, and the strictest attention to the interests of shippers. Application for prospectuses and for shares will be received by the London Committee, at No. 42, Lombard-street, London ; and also by Messrs. Preston and Browne, solicitors, 26, Dean-street, Newcastle upon-Tyne; or Mr. Jonathan Dreury, sharebroker, 92, Side, New castle-upon-Tyne. As a considerable portion of the capital has already been subscribed, no application for shams can be received after the sth April, on which day an allotment will take place. FORM OF APPLICATION.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON. lIALSE'S SCORBUTIC 'DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Rolins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his, fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first nottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Dunning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1843. Tne above-mentioned Thomas Rolins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful ; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the "Nottingham Review" " IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, BAD LEGS, &c. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to he afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well ascertained fact that Halse's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the hulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our Mends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed, we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation, the now justly-celebrated ' Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yielded as if by magic. We again say, 'Try Halse's Scorbutic Drops.'

Sieyas was the author of all the adminis trative circumscriptions of France. He had already conceived the division into departments and induced its adoption ; he wished on this occasion that the cantonal administrations, which existed to the number of fire thousand, should he superseded by administrations of arrondissement, which, much less numerous, were a more convenient intermediate between the commune and the department. The principle only was laid down in the Constitution ; but it was agreed that a law should ere long reform, upon this principle, the administrative system in France, and put an end to the communal anarchy, a melancholy picture of which has been given above. There was to be a tribunal of first instance for each arrondissement, and a tribunal of appeal for several united departments. " The second of the creations of M. Siey;, which be longs exclusively to himself, is the Council of State, a deliberative body attached to the executive power, pre• paring the laws, supporting them before the legislative power, adding to them the regulations which ought to accompany the laws, and rendering the laws adminis trative. This is the most practical of his conceptions, and, with the preceding, it must outlive the present and subsist in future times. To the honour of this legis lator, be it said, Time has swept away all the ephemeral Constitutions of the Revolution, but the only parts of these Constitutions which have survived have been his work." Nearly his whole Constitution was adopted and without an absolute power like that of Solon, Lycur gus, or Mahomet, and " such as it was," adds M. Thiers, blaming Bonaparte, "if the conqueror of Marengo had not afterwards made two considerable changes in it—the addition of the imperial succes sion and the retrenchment of the Tribunate—this Con stitution might have furnished a career which would not have been the triumph of absolute power." We give as specimens of the work two extracts, one de scribing the passage over the Alps, and the other the close of the decisive battle of Marengo, and it is worthy of observation that both these important events would have been entirely frustrated had the Austrian officers done their duty. The French army was allowed to dd)oitch('; on the plains of Lombardy, entirely owing tp the negligence and stupidity of the officer - who com manded the impregnable fortress of Bard, and Gene ral Melas, who had gained the battle of Marengo, gave up the victory for a dinner. The following is M. Thiers' description of the descent of the French army from St. Bernard, and the manner in which it escaped destruction : " The First Consul halted for a short time with the monks, thanked them fir their attentions to his army, and made them a magnificent present, for the relief of the poor and of travellers. " He descended rapidly, suffering, himself, according to the custom of the country, to glide down upon the snow, and arrived the same evening at Etroubles. Next day, after paying some attention to the park of artillery and to the provisions, he set out for Aosta and Bard. Having ascertained that all he had been told was true, he resolved to send the infantry, the cavalry, and the four-pounders by the path of Albaredo, which would be possible, if the path were repaired. All the troops were to goand take po ssess i on o f t h e dCb ouc he o f •t h e moun tainsin advance of Ivrea, and the First Consul designed, meanwhile, to make some attempt on the fort, or at least find means to turn this obstacle, by making his artillery cross one of the neighbouring Cols. He ordered Ge neral Lecchi, at the head of the Italians, to ascend on the left, to penetrate by the Grassoney road into the valley of the Sesia, which terminates near 'the Simplon and Lake Maggiore. " The object of this movement was to keep the Simplon road open, to gire the hand to a detachment that was descending by it, and to reconnoitre, in short, All the roads passable for wheel carriages. " The First Consul, at the same time, directed his attention to the fort of Bard. The French were in pos session of the only street composing the town, but could only pass through it under such a shower of balls that it would be scarcely possible to get through with artillery, though the distance was but two or three hundred fathoms. The commandant was summoned, but he re plied with firmness, like a man fully sensible of the im portance of the post entrusted to his courage. Force alone, then, could make us masters of the pass. The artillery which had been planted on the mountain of Albaredo produced no great effect; an escalade was attempted on the outer inclosure of the fort; but some brave grenadiers, and Dufour, an excellent officer, were uselessly wounded or killed. All the while, the troops were proceeding alonr , the path of Albaredo. Fifteen hundred labourers had done the most urgent repairs re quired by that path. In places where it was narrow, it had been widened by the removal of gravel from the sides; too rapid slopes had been diminished by cutting steps to prevent the feet from slipping; in other places, trunks of trees were thrown over ravines, which it would otherwise have been too difficult to cross, and used as bridges. The army advanced successively, man by man, the cavalry leading their horses by the bridle. The Austrian officer commanding the fort of Bard, seeing our troops filing iu this manner, and mortified at not having it in his power to stop their march, sent word to M. de Melas, that he had witnessed the passage of a whole nymcp , _ it would arrive without a single piece of cannon. "Meanwhile, our artillery made a remarkably bold attempt ; this was, to pass with a piece beneath the very guns of the fort, under favour of the night. The enemy, unluckily a arned by the noise, threw pot-grenadoes, which lighted the road as though it had been broad day, and enabled them to pour upon it a shower of projectiles. Out of thirteen artillerymen who had volunteered to draw that piece of cannon, seven were killed or wounded. This was sufficient to dishearten the bravest men ; when an ingenious method, though, withal, a very dangerous one, was thought of. The street was covered with straw and dung ; tow was fastened about the pieces, so as to prevent the slightest sound from the jar of those im mense masses of metal upon their carriages ; the horses were unharnessed, bold artillerymen, dragging them by main strength, ventured to pass under the batteries Of the fort, along the street of Bard. This contrivance suc ceeded completely. The enemy, who fired from time to time, by way of precaution, bit some of our gunners ; but very soon, in spite of this fire, all the heavy artillery , was removed beyond the defile, and this formidable ob stacle, which had given the First Consul more concern than the St. Barnard itself, was overcome. The artil lery horses had taken the path of Albaredo." The following extract describes the change which took place when Desaix came to the relief of the con queror of Marengo : " Half the day was spent. M. de Midas fancied him self sure of the victory, which he had so dearly purchased. This old warrior, who, for courage at least, proved him self worthy of his adversary on that memorable day, re • turned to Alexandria, worn out with fatigue. He left the command to M. de Zach, the chief of his staff, and sent off couriers to all Europe, to proclaim his victory and the defeat of General Bonaparte at Marengo. This chief of the staff, invested with the command, then formed the bulk of the Austrian army into marching columns, on the high road from Marengo to San Guliano. He put at the head two regiments of infantry, and then the column of Lattermann's grenadiers, followed by the baggage train. He placed General Oreilly on the left, and Generals Kelm and Haddick on the right, and endeavoured to gain in this order that high road to Piacenza, the object of so many efforts, and the salvation of the Austrian army. " It was now three o'clock. If no new circumstance in tervened, the battle might be considered as lost by the French, unless they could, on the morrow, with the troops shifted from the Tessina and the Adda to the Po, retrieve the misfortune of the day. Desaix, however, with Boudet's whole division, had not yet cometp : would he arrive in time? On this circumstance depended the issue of the battle. The aides-de-camp of the First Consul had been galloping in quest of him ever since morning. But, long before they reached him, Desaix, on the first cannon-shot fired on the plain of Marengo, had instantly wheeled about. Hearing this distant re port, he had concluded that the enemy, whom he frad been sent in search of to Novi, on the Genoa road, was at Marengo itself. He had immediately dispatched Savary, with a few hundred horse, to Novi, to see what was going forward, and had waited with his division, listening intently to the cannon of the Austrians and the French, which never ceased thundering in the direction of the Bormida. From Savary having discovered no trace of the enemy in the environs of Novi, Desaix was confirmed in his happy conjecture, and, without further delay, marched for Marengo, send ing before him several aides-de-camp to apprise the First Consul that he was coming. He had marched the whole day, and, at three o'clock, his heads of columns at length appeared at the entrance into the plain, in the vicinity of San Giuliano. He himself, preceding them at a gallop, rode up to the First Consul. Happy inspiration of a lieutenant equally intelligent and attached! happy fortune of youth ! If, fifteen years later, the First Consul, now so well seconded by his generals, had found a Desaix on the field of Waterloo, he would have pre served the empire, and France her preponderant posi tion among the powers of Europe. " The presence of Desaix changed the aspect of things. He was surrounded; he was made acquainted with the occurrences of the day. The generals formed a circle about him and the First Consul, and discussed with warmth the critical position of the army. Most of them advised retreat. The First Consul was not of this opinion, and he earnestly pressed Desaix for his. Desaix, surveying the devastated field of battle, then drawing out his watch and looking at the hour, replied to General Bonaparte in these simple and noble terms:— " Yes, the battle is lost; but it is only three o'clock; there is time to gain another." General Bonaparte, de lighted with the opinion of Desaix, prepared to avail himself of the succour brought him by that general, and of the advantages ensured to him by the position taken ever since morning. He was, in fact, in the plain, on the right, while the enemy was on the left, in marching column, on the high road, advancing towards San Giuliano. Desaix, arriving from San Giuliano, with 6,000 fresh troops, and facing the Austrians, might stop them short, while the bulk of the rallied army should fall upon their flank. Orders were forthwith issued in accordance with this plan. " The three demi-brigades of Desaix were formed in advance of San Giuliano, a little to the right of the high road; the 30th deployed in line; the 9th and 59th in close columns on the wings of the former. A slight un dulation of the ground concealed them from the enemy. On their left were the rallied and somewhat recovered wrecks of Chambarlhac's and Gardanne's troops under General Victor; on their right, in the plain, Lannes, whose retreating movement was suspended, then the consular guard, then Carra St. Cyr, who had kept as near as possible to Castel Ceriolo. The army then formed a long oblique line from San Giuliano to Castel Ceriolo, and between Desaix and Lannes, and a little in rear, was placed Kellermann's cavalry in the interval. .. 4 - ~ "1 .+». 1 SPANISII PASSIVE BONDHOLDERS!!
