TIMES.—The question has been asked and answered; and in the almost fabulous and incredible majority which, at a late hour on yesterday morning, carried the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, the Court of Rome and its adherents have received a lesson on the true state of public opinion in England, which, let them put what face on it they may, must strike them with dismay, with shame, and with confusinn. They went forth in all their pride to reconquer to the Holy See its revolted fief—the kingdom of England; and, ignorant of the future as of the present, their vaunting missives announced an easy and assured victory. They thought, or pretended to think, that the ancient spirit of this na tion, which had so often risen against the open encreach ments and so successfully resisted the covert advances of Rome, existed no more, and that, immersed in the sordid cares of commerce and the engrossing industry of ma nuafacture, England had made mammon her god, and worshipped no longer with the fervour and simplicity of other days. They thought, those subtle and penetra ting politicians, that the large number of sects into which the unrestricted exercise of private judgment has divided our people would regard each other, with a mutual animosity, which would effectually prevent them from combiing against an invasion from without. They calculated on the support of a supine and undiscriminating Liberalism which refuses to recog nize the most obvious exceptions to its general rules, and dreads persecution in the most salutary and necessary precaution. They calculated on the support of men able and influential, who had frittered away the manly creed of their forefathers into a metaphysical abstraction re sembling, so far as an entity so unreal can resemble any thing, the faith of the Vatican much more nearly than the creed of England. They have had the support they counted on. The Liberals have given them the benefit of their liberality and the Peelites of their sophistry, and yet these forces, combined with the united Roman Ca tholic party, have met with a most signal defeat, the like of which is hardly recorded in Parliamentary an nals. The power which the Pope in his arrogance did not condescend to notice has declared itself with an una mita, which, on a matter of so much importance, could hardly have been expected, and which nothing but the strongest feeling within the House, acted upon and kept alive by an equally strong feeling without it, would be sufficient to account for. When it was found that there was such a thing as a popular will in England, and that the people were nut likely to pass by the Pope and the Cardinal with the same convenient blindness as to their proceedings with which those eminent personages chose to be affected with regard to them, it was thought ne cessary by Cardinal Wiseman to appeal to those who had made their existence so suddenly and disagreeably manifest. The Cardinal might have demurred to the jurisdiction, he might have objected to submit the claims . of his ancient and infallible Church to the decision of a nation of heretics, deeply imbued with what Gregory XVI. called " that worst species of indifferentism, a propensity to private judgment." This, however, the Cardinal disdained to dp. He voluntarily selected the people and Parliametitef England for his judges, and tie must not quarrel with the decision because it is not such as he most presumptuously hoped, and most shal lowly led the Court of Rome to anticipate. No future flights of metaphor, no new achievements of style, can persuade any one hereafter to confuse his proceedings for a moment with the feelings and institutions of the English nation. The Pope and the Cardinal are con victed of having most wantonly and gratuitously com menced a movement which was not, as they pre tended, national, which was not, as they hoped, indifferent to the nation ; but which was eminently anti-national and anti-popular. They have made a solemn display in the sight of all Europe, not merely of filly and impertinence, but of weakness and unpopu larity. They have destroyed the prestige which the conversion of a few enthusiastic young gentlemen had given to their cause, and rendered it impossible even for themselves to assert for the future that the faith of Rome has any hold whatever on the public mind of England. But, while nothing can be more complete as a demonstration of opinion than the gigantic majority in the House of Commons, it must be fairly admitted that we have not advanced a single step towards the ultimate settlement of the question. Although the second reading was to triumphantly carried, the Ministerial Bill has really no supporters. It tenders, as Mr. Gladstone truly observed, a false issue, not whether the Pope has any right to found bishoprics and create bisho within the realm of another sovereign, but whether ish subjects ought to be allowed to bear g 4 the titles deriv d from such bishoprics. Of this false issue Mr. Gladstone dexterously availed himself, and en deavoured to persuade the House that the question was, whether the appointment of bishops should be declared void because made by a foreign Power, and thus entirely got rid of the question as to the validity of the creation of bishoprics. A strong party in the House will at tempt, and we sincerely trust with success, to exempt Ireland from the operation of the measure, and an effort will doubtless be made to restore the second and third clauses to the Bill. The proposition of Mr. Walpole, supported by Sir Frederick Thesiger, being, as we be lieve, by far the most reasonable and logical method of dealing with the subject, would also require attention. The question as to the inclusion of the second and third ' clauses in the first, upon which every lawyer who has ' addressed the House expresses a different opinion, will also have to be discussed, and the event of that discussion is fraught with consequences most serious to the stability of the Ministerial measure. Thus we have only just launched from the shore into a stormy ocean, full of dangers and difficulties, and our guests may find us in May engaged in discussing the details of a measure not very agreeable to their sympathies or pre judices. We cannot imagine that the party of Sir Robert Peel has improved its position by the part it has adopted in the recent debate; nor, whatever may be thought of Mr. Gladstone's talents as a debater, do we think that his speech will add much to his reputation as a practical and far-sighted statesman. The elaborate argument by which he seeks to prove that the aggression of the Pope should have been met by negotiation is, with reference to the position of the Roman Pontiff, simply puerile. The 1 Pope, as a temporal prince, has nothing to lose, and strong in his weakness, can afford to defy our power. ' As au ecclesiastical potentate, he set all on the cast when he issued his rescript. Negotiation, though it might have prevented it, could never recall it. Besides, Mr. Gladstone was at great pains to show that the Pope is in the hands of the ultra party in the Roman Church, the party bitterly hostile to this country, and determined in their arrogance and bigotry to push matters to every ex tremity against us. To be sure Mr. Gladstone has, with great ingenuity, in flat contradiction to his former state ment, sought to prove that this was the measure, not of the ultra, but moderate party at Rome; but, as both these statements cannot be true, and as the former is confirmed by the unexceptionable authority of Lord Shrewsbury, we take the liberty of adopting it in pre ference to its contradiction, which Mr. Gladstone asserts with equal confidence. Mr. Gladstone admits that we have a right to see that the aggression is not of a tem poral nature, and in the same breath denies our right to' inquire into the necessity of the new hierarchy; but is not the fact that the new hierarchy is not wanted for spiritual purposes pregnant proof that it is intended to servo some temporal object? If we are to leave to the Roman Catholics unfettered judgment as to what ec clesiastical changes they require, and, under the advice of Mr. Gladstone, to renounce the use of our reason on the subject, what safeguard does he leave us against the encroachments of a religion which has ever refused to distinguish between tem poral and spiritual authority, and always em ployed the second as a means of obtaining the first? Mr. Gladstone admits the arrogance of the brief and the pastoral, but he does not admit what is quite as evident as their arrogance, the claim of dominion which they put forth on behalf of a power which has never renounced its claim to the feudal sovereignty of England. We ought, he says, to meet this arrogance with fresh conci liation, for, if not, we shall unite the Ronan Catholics against us, and strengthen the hands of the ultra party at Rome. Surely, after we have seen the Roman Catho lic Members putting up their votes to auction for the purpose of revenge, and felt in the recent aggression the utmost rancour of the ultra party at Rome, but little is left for us to fear. Whatever be Mr. Gladstone's merits as an apologist of the Pope, they are not appreciated either by the House or the country, neither of which evince the least inclination to place themselves under the guidance of statesmen who, regardless of the just sus ceptibilities of the nation, conceal their own lukewarm attachment to Protestantism behind the loosely-worn mask of a spurious liberality. DAILY NEWS.—After a fortnight's bearing of the opinion of parties relative to the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, the House of Commons have decided by 438 votes against 95 that it will proceed with the meas ure. That there exists a majority for strengthen ing the Bill, at least as far as regards England, and for rendering it, as the Leeds Mercury justly desires, self executory, there cannot be a doubt. And that there is also a general desire to exempt Ireland, if it can be done, without giving a triumph to Rome, is also very mani fest. And yet the Bill would not affect any of the pre sent Roman Catholic bishops in Ireland, save one. One of the great difficulties in the debate, as well as in deal ing with the question, is certainly the h a bit i n w hi c h political parties have been of humouring and flattering the Irish Roman Catholics, instead of meeting them in the manly and open language of frankness and honest respect. The language of Peelites, Whigs, and even Ra dicals, has so long been th a t of c a j o l er y an d compliment, thatinstead of being able to meet the Irish intelligent Roman Catholic face to f ace , an d t e lli ng him what is objectionable and dangerous in his Church, government, and religious tendencies, this duty has been so shrunk from and blinked, that the language, when necessarily resorted to, has all the air of insult. The Whigs have now been reduced to the necessity of speaking thus openly to the Roman Catholics, of objecting to the con sequences of their Roman allegiance and Austrian Con nexion, and to the principle of rendering all political considerations subordinate to the desires or the honours of their p r i es thood. The necessity of stating these ob jections, of acting upon them, and making them matters of legislation, bas fallen on the Whigs; whilst the onus and the o bl oq uy are rejected by the Peelites, who, with Sir James Graham, continue their old cajolery to the Irish Roman Catholics, in the vain, the idle, and inte rested hope of swelling a party. It is this attitude of the Peelites which has given inveteracy to the debate, Penna .,l Annual Policy Bonus in Jaunt Re- Age il l ?..

Workmen are busily en gaged upon it, and there is no doubt that many of the openings through which the rain penetrates are broken panes of glass, which of course can be mended. The mischief, however, is not altogether of this description; and we observed that during the heavy showers yester day morning the spots of wet caused on the floor by the drip from above followed very frequently the line of the gutters. The present state of the building is seized upon by all who are behindhand in their preparations as an apology for further delay, and nat i ve an d foreign exhibitors who are not ready by th e I s t o f May will not be slow to throw all th e bl ame upon the contractors and the Executive Committee. Im mense exertions coatinue to be made in carrying for ward the preliminary arrangements, but the nearer we approach the time fixed for opening, the more doubtful, or rather, wo may say, impossible, does it seem that all will then be in order and fit for public inspection. Great, however, as the intervening difficulties may be, we still regard it as a matter of vital importance to the success of the Exhibition that the Commissioners should keep their plighted word. The first few days of the month of May will probably determine its character, and if during that critical period the preparations are still going for ward, and chaos is not reduced to order, what will be thought of our punctuality? The Executive Committee seem determined to do all that in them lies to secure the derired result, for they have issued a caution to exhi bitors not to delay sending in their goods till the 2d of April; by doing so at the last moment they may be dis appointed of the means of coaveyanee. Agricultural and horticultural implements and machines must be de posited in the building by the `.9th inst. The selection for trial will be made by the jury on the Ist of April, and the actual trials will commence on the 2d. The arrivals of packages, both from home and foreign con tributors are daily and hourly increasing, and an im mense number of hands are incessantly employed in every part of the building.

This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life Office., generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve menthe preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Wixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 320/. 3e. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 115. 6d.

ROME.—The operatic season here closed last Tuesday, the 4th of March, with the opera of Maria de Bohan, in which Miss Catherine Hayes appeared for twelve succes sive nights. Nothing could possibly exceed the sensa tion her singing and acting created. The enthusiasm of the audiences, whose delight knew no bounds, was manifested after a fashion that must have reminded your fair countrywoman of her glorious reception in her native city. The cavatina and duet from the Linda also created great excitement. The last performance on Shrove Tuesday, took place, as is the custom here in the morning, o'clock,alsoallthe amusements of the to allow time for preparations Carnival invariably terminate befor e 1 2 o ' cloc k , i n or d er commencing for that Lent should not be inf ringed on. You will be pleased to bear that the m os t distinguished individuals a t among the proudest of aristocracies have paid Catherine Hayes marked attention. No dancing is permitted in Rome during Lent, but the musical parties commenced last evening. Mi ss Hayes had the honour of being invited to one given by the Princess Borghese, by whom she was introduced to the most distinguished of the noble ladies present. Sho has also been honoured with the diploma of " Sonna della Pontificia Congre gazione ed Accademia di Santa Cecilia," one of the oldest and most respectable musical societies is Italy, the last name enrolled in which is that of Madame Malibran. Miss Hayes purposes to leave Rome in a fortnight, and expects to be in London by the 10th of April. She in tends to remain in London for the entire season, as she does not sail for America until autumn.

FINS `BITING.—We give the following as a re cent specimen of fine writing, from the columts of a eon temporary f a h l e ongsfoarmywater3, you will stormy sea, watching thetem plovrfaldry note how as one raging mountain chain has p assed before t h e : r —As of next comes up, you seem to have fallen into a peaceful valley of still waters : you have fallen below the level of the tearing wind ; fix your eyes on the surfa ce b y the s id e o f the vessel, and you shall see nothing but little mimic billows, which seem to chafe in sport; the exhausted ship sinks to repose. But look closer into the waters, and you shall see the same boiling seething of the mass; the Liu and jangle of the little mimic waves within the trough is about to be again overwhelmed by the roar already rising from the next raging mountain as it comes heavily but not slowly on ; and the vessel does but steady before the next stunning thunder clap of the never-staying waters. So it is now i n our sea of politics. It is absolute suspension. Men's minds are in capable of forming definite ideas. They sit and wait the next commotion ; and, from the unaccountable still ne ss new, they begin to fear that something is coming whi c h w ill be very formidable." THE ScoTnser HOSPITAL.—A quarterly meeting of this institution took place yesterday at Crane-court, Fleet-street; Dr, Webster in the chair. The subject of the site for the new building, which Lord James Stuart had in terested himself in with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, was al'uded to. A 1-gacy of 1,000/., bequeathed by Mr. Ross, was also brought before the meeting, but after some conversation it was agreed that the consideration of the matter should be adjourned.

But the scope and reach of its actual penalties are so small that it is really not worth discussing, and would not have been seriously disputed had not the friends of the late Sir Robert Peel made a mountain of the molehill, and taken their party stand upon it, for the mere purpose of showing how much more liberal and tolerant they were than the Whigs. And Set such an appeal as this to the Dissenters, and to the liberal religionists, however adroitly made by such loose and leading fishes of the party, as Sir J. Graham, is the most profound of hypocrisies, coming from a band of voliticians the ablest of whom entertain notions of reli gion and of ecclesiastical government, the most opposite of intolerance, of voluntaryism, and of free thoughted ness. National Popery. a worship to enthral the senses, and a doctrine to exclude the reasoning faculty, a go vernment of the State by professional politicians, and of the religious mind and church by professional priests— these are the doctrines of the Young Peelites ; and from these naturally flow respect, affection, and symp'sthy for Rome. The most crafty and able of these Papistical wolves in Protestant sheep's clothing, is undoubtedly Gladstone. Ile commenced his speech on Tuesday by admitting that the Church of England was in serious peril. The peril was not, in Mr. Gladstone's opinion, aught that temporal legislation could cure. From this we can only infer that Mr. Gladstone wishes to re-establish convoca tion, and restore synodal action to the Church of Eng land, whilst he allows it to the Church of Rome in England. We must say that this scheme is the most extraordinary one for allaying religious excitement that we have yet heard. We can perfectly understand the American system, which declares the State indifferent to religion and a stranger to it, after hoving first passed education laws, mortrnain laws for personal and real property, and taken every guarantee that can be required against Rome. We can conceive the Americans caring little for Roman Catholic titles or synodal action. But in England, to uphold a State Church, and then encourage rival churches to jostle and pelt at it, is not possible. The Protestant Established Church must be either pro tected or abolished as a State Church. As to the Pro testant Church in Ireland, Mr. Gladstone abandons it, by alleging, with his friend Sir John Young, that it is such a ricketty concern that the least quarrel with or provocation to the Roman Catholics of that country would give them the pretext, which they want, in ad dition to the power, which they have, to destroy it. For our part, we had always hoped, and do hope still, that a fair accord may be come to between Protestants and Catholics, that the limits between them may be fixed, and the rules laid down, as they are in all countries of mixed religion, how far eacn may assume and claim authority. But this must be done by law and by Parliament—by that temporal legis lation, in fact, which Mr. Gladstone deprecates, and without which the Roman Catholics will go on assuming, and the Protestants resenting, until we awake in the midst of civil war, and that whilst politicians are preaching a peace and a tolerance, incomprehensible to any save themselves. Mr. Gladstone says, that to forbid a Roman Catholic to style himself Archbishop of Can terbury is an interference with spiritual authority. This he would not do for the world. But the forbidding Ro man Catholic prelates or churches from inheriting pro perty, that may be done, according to Mr. Gladstone, without infringing spiritual liberty. It is a temporal concern. Now this is a mere quibble, for we will be bound to say that more serious persecution could be ex ercised against the Roman Catholics, and far more seri ous discontent excited amongst them by following out this principle of Mr. Gladstone, than in observing that delicacy of Lord John Russell, who inflicts the lenient inhibition to assume territorial titles. Al though we have slight respect for those professional politicians, who, though calling themselvs Tories, affect to pooh pooh the Bill as inefficient, and at the same time denounce it as persecution, it is with fear and reluctance we differ from such liberals as Mr. Hume, in whose regret for the waking up of such a ques tion we fully concur. But we think Mr. Hume deci dedly wrong in throwing upon Government or upon the Whig party the blame of havin,tr, excited this relgious feud. The very principle of the Whigs is to keisp out of such scrapes; their very instinct prompts then to do nothing in such matters, and we are confident that if Lord John Russell thought he could with safety and in honour have done nothing, he would infinitely have pre ferred that course. But unfortunately Cardinal Wise man and the Popo left him no choice. Whet this pair of worthies have dared and have done, may appear of very little importance to those unactuated by strong re ligious feelings, or by principles of liberty which are bound up . with these religious feelings, such as English liberalism has always been. These form the very pulse of the nation, and to euppoge that it would not, or to say that it did not, (teat with indignation at the appointment of a cardinal to t vern our counties, is merely to shut one's eyes and it,7 nore the age. Considering that the cause of all this ex* citement and offence came from the Roman Catholic party in Rome;—considering that, far from being denounced or disapproved, it was taken up and abetted by the Catholics of Ire land ;—considering that the principle of the pre sent Bill already existed in the Act of 1829, which was accepted with gratitude by the Irish Ca tholics;—considering how mild and tolerant the Govern ment had shown itself in sanctioning great and national encroachments on the part of the Irish Catholics on the limits of this Bill—we do think that when the Pope so glaringly exceeded, and insolently stepped beyond and ignored the concessions of that Bill, assuming of his own autocratic power authority and dignity far beyond it, and of course as far us it might in future please him to make—we do think that the Government had a right to expect no such uncomprising abettal of the Pope and his acts from the Irish Catholics. We think the Pope and ihem decidedly in the wrong, in the aggressive, and on the offensive. Now, we should be very glad to live at peace with the Pope; and it is still more necessary to live in harmony and good understand ing with the Roman Catholic population. But there are two parties to peace and good fellowship, as there are two parties to every bargain in the world ; and if one side is to make all the aggression and the other all the con cession, there is no possibility of lasting accord. For let the Government or let Parliamentary parties be ever so conciliatory—let them even be anile in their humility, and allow themselves to be walked over by Roman Car dinals, the people of England and the Protestants of England will be but the more excited, the more exigent, the more impassioned fur this sheepishness of their Government ; and when the people bring these causes of complaint against their rulers, it is not the philosophy of Mr. Hume, nor the sophistry of Mr. Gladstone, that will appease them. If any statesman wants to kindle a flame of Protestant fanaticism, he will begin by ignoring and contemning the just grounds of complaint, which moderate Protestants put forward, and for which they demand moderate security and redress. ADVERTISER—We feel that we breathe more freely. So, we are sure, must the nation. If we are called on as a people to be thankful for small mercies, we are bound to be doubly grateful for so great a bles sing as the termination of the anti-Papal debate. It is melancholy to think that a whole fortnight of a session, which hag been so deplorably unproductive of practical legislation, should have been wasted on a measure which, were it to pass to-morrow, would not, as it now stands, be worth the parchment on which it is written. The only consideration which in some degree reconciles us to a fortnight's debate on the Bill before the House, is, that though it is, as it stands at present, a mere mockery and fraud upon the public, there is still ground for hope that it may, before it passes through its final stages, be so amended as that its provisions shall bear some resemblance to its preamble. As it now stands, it has no provisions at all of an operative nature. It has a title, but nothing more. It professes to do a certain thing, but does not provide the requisite machinery for accomplishing the object which it professes to have in view. Happily, however, it is in the power of the House, when in Committee, to supply that which is lacking. It is, indeed, the special province of the House, in Committee, to add that which is necessary for rendering a measure efficient, as well as to expunge that which is calculated to prevent the beneficial operation of a Bill. If, therefore, the friends of Protestantism—the upholders of the prerogatives of the Crown—the supporters of the cause of civil and religious liberty, are only true to themselves and their principles, the measure may yet be so altered and amended as to be, at least, to some extent operative in checking the aggressions of Popery. As the House in Committee has the power of thus remodel ling the measure, and as Hon. Gentlemen know that the country loudly calls for it, and that the House of Lords will give effect to any amendments they ma y make, cal culated to give greater stringency to the Bill—we cannot doubt that before it comes out of Committee it will be a very different measure from what it is at present. It is not for us to dictate in positive terms what th e Bill ought to be made; but we know that we only give expressionsl tbo.. m to the deep-seated feeling which pervade s the nation will not a, when we say, that the House of Commons meet the views and wishes of the country if it at least as rigorous as it wa s when first ben otmade at introduced.ade o Even then it did not meet the necessit i es of crisist w hee h a ie se h . th l e t fell short of the requirem ents f a n c i e v d i l a a u n d d a c ireligious a r h i s g assumptions, precipitated . Roman Pontiff had, tory of bybiinbathree all that could be desired, still it lly stood, was not originally the country. But though the measure, as it was something; and had it been p ermitted to p ass with out mutilation, it would have been worth accepting on the part of the country. The Premier unhappily aban doned his principles, and all the better parts of the Bill, at the same time. lie fancied he could conciliate the Romish Church by transforming the original measure into one of a much milder character. In coming to such a conclusion, the head of the Government betrayed an ignorance of the principles of Popery which seems un accountable in any one bearing the name of Russell. The martyrdom which some of the most illustrious of his ancestors were doomed to suffer from Popish hands would have sufficed, it might be supposed, to convince the Noble Lord of the implacable character of the Romish Church. That Church is not to be propitiated. If she ever appears humble, gentle, and unaggressive, it is only when she feels herself feeble—when she has not the power for mischief. When in the ascendancy. Po pery has invariably proved itself arrogant, aggressive, and despotic. Regarding all without her pale as doomed to perdition, Rome accords toleration to none who differ from her.

Walker l3s 9d Ships at m HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Return.) The aggravated rate of mortality in London, which marked the first two weeks of the current month, has prevailed without abatement in the period embraced by the present return. The deaths, which increased to 1,247 in the beginning of March, and subsequently rose to 1,401, amounted in the week ending last Saturday to 1,412. Taking for comparison the 10 corresponding weeks of 1841-50, it appears that the highest number was 1,197, and occurred in 1845 (in a week when the mean temperature had fallen about 10 degrees lower than usual), and that the average mortaility was 997. This average, if corrected according to the supposed rate of increase in the population, amounts to 1,088; and the increase above it exhibited in last week's return is 324. The sickness which now prevails is common, as al ready shown, to all periods of life; but it deserves notice, that whereas the total mortality returned in either of the last two weeks is nearly the same, the deaths of young persons under 15 years shows a decrease from 593 (in the week ending March 15) to 566 last week, while those which occurred in the middle period of life rose from 442 to 456, and those in the still more advanced stage (or above 60 years) rose from 365 to 390. In the last week the deaths attributed to influenza— simply, or in conjunction with bronchitis, inflammation of the lungs, disease of the heart, or other malady—are 65; in the previous week they were 39, while the ave rage of corresponding weeks does not exceed 8. The _ in those countries iu w • . her soprani ,is ablishedy. 'What it is in Spain, . Portugal, it / 49.isifi be Eng land, if it were eq ,".iy in the ascene here. Give the Nomish Church her own way, and More twelve months Id elapsed, there would not be a Protestant place of Tship within the boundaries of the United Kingdom. ~ cannot be too strongly impressed on the minds of our statesmen, that Popery is not to be conciliated. The more the attempt is made, the more audacious it will become. If the Romish Church is to controlled, or kept in check, it must be by means of coercion. All history bears its attestation to this truth; and our recent experience comes forward to confirm the language of history. So long as Popery was kept in due subjection, it assumed all the mild-like virtues of the lamb; but since we placed it on a footing in every respect of equality with ourselves, it has been gradually becoming more and more arrogant and fierce, until we see it now broadly and undisguisedly exhibiting all the qualities of the wolf. It scarcely cares to conceal that its great object is to destroy Protestantism,—includ ing, in the phrase, the substitution of a Stuart dynasty for the House of Brunswick—a Popish Sovereign for the Protestant Queen who now sways the sceptre in these realms. Since Lord John Russell, whose letter to the Bishop of Durham, inveighing in such unmeasured terms against the Pope and Popery, induced the country to believe that he would prove the unflinching champion of Protestantism,—sinco he has deserted the standard which he planted with his own hand, and has ingloriously deserted from the Protestant camp,—nothing remains for the people but to take the matter into their own hands, and to see that the claims of their religion shall be pro perly vindicted, and the assumptions of Rome be met with that spirit and energy which are indispensable to their repression. There is yet time for the public to make its voice heard—yet time for such an expression of national feeling as shall convince Dr. Wiseman. and the fifty cr sixty repre=entatives of the Pope in the House of Commons, that Popery is not yet in the ascendant, but that, on the contrary, it must shrink back into its shell. If it has boldly, of late, put out its horns, it must now be made fain to draw them in again. It las pro voked the contest with the Protestantism of the country, and it must take the consequences. It will have itself to blame for whatever may result from the conflict now going on. It has proclaimed hostilities against the Pro testant religion and the Protestant institutions cf the country. Protestantism, though not seeking the battle, will not shrink from it. It. has already marshalled its noble army. It has taken up its place in the field of conflict. It is at this moment confronting its Popish foe. Since hostilities must be, says Protestantism, let the war be a deadly and a final one. Either or the belligerents must be annihilated, as well as vanquished. We have net a doubt as to which it is to be. IRELAND. THE DECREES OE THE SYNOD. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—Dr. API - lair, it would ap pear, is determined to carry matters with a high hand, and is resolved, so far as lies i❑ his power, that the de crees of the fathers of Thuries shall not prove a nullity or become a dead letter on the ecclesiastical statute. book. In the course of last week it transpired, through more than one communication, that in a certain national school in the diocese of Tuam, which was attended up to a very recent period by 90 poor Roman Catholic chil dren, the number of pupils had on Sunday week sud denly dwindled down to just one-third. Inquiries, to account for so remarkable a defalcation, were instantly set on foot, and it was ascertained from some of the pa rents that orders from head-quarters had been promul gated from the chapels on the tiunday previous, threatening all sorts of pains and penalties on the bodies and souls of such fathers and mo thers as would not withdraw their offspring from all schools in connexion with the National Board, those institutions, as well as the Government Colleges, having been solemnly declared to be " dan gerous to the faith and morals" of the rising generation of Romanists. Meanwhile, the children thus shut out from the benefits of instruction are wandering about the hedges and roadsides, an occupation they are at full liberty to follow until, perhaps, the erection, endowment, and chartering of Primate Cullen's new " Catholic Uni versity" shall open the prospect of a system of education based on the enlightened principles enunciated by the decrees of the Synod of Thurles. A later communica tion from the west announces that the ranks of the pupilshave been since diminished by additional deser tions to the amount of 28, and, as no school at which the number of scholars is less than 30 is entitled to the Government grant for the payment of th e teacher, Dr. M'Hale will probably soon have the satisfaction of sealing the doors of one of the obnoxious schools. We have been informed, and it is but right to mention the circumstance, that the great primary objection of " his Grace" to the national system. is directed in an especial manner to all schools of which the patrons happen to be members of the Pro testant Church. Wherever Roman Catholics happen to occupy this position, the case is in a degree different. Although far from getting any encouragement, they are not as yet positively denounced as moral pestilence,. SALES OF ENCUMBERED E‘TATES The Meath estates of Mr. Charles Henry Smith, owner and petitioner in the case, producing a profit rental of about 4001. per annum, were set up for sale yesterday, in three lots, before two of the Commissioners, and realized in the aggregate a sum of 5,4001., being some thing like 121 years' purchase. An extensive property in the county of Tipperary, the estate of Mr. Hems worth, the rental of which was estimated at a little over .1,0001. a year, was offered in nine lots, the whole of which, atter considerable delays, owing to the kck of competition and various other causes, was disposed of for the sum of 10,150 L Lord Cremorne, the petitioner in the matter, was a purchaser to the extent of half the amount produced by the sales.

FATAL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. The metropolis was yesterday morning visited by two fires, one of which unfortunately destroyed the lives of two human beings—a man and his wife. One fire broke out at a few minutes before four o'clock at 31, John-street, Harper-street, New Kent-road, in the joint occupation of Mr. H. Richardson, a type founder, and Mr. Samuel Potts. Police-constable, No. 779 o f th e A division, kept the door of the premises closed until assistance came up, when he started for the fire-engines. The engines and firemen of the Southwark-bridge-mad and Waterho-road stations, and those of the West of England office, were soon on the spot, and plenty of water being procured the engines were set to vi erk, but the flames had previously penetrated the roof, and were rising so high as to illumine the whole neighbourhood. The firemen, however, soon got the flames extinguished, when they entered the premises for the purpose of look ing after the two persons who were known to be in the building. On approaching the front room window a shocking spectacle presented itself, for lying cn the floor were the lifeless bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Potts, burnt almost as black as a coal, every article of furniture in the place being consumed, and not so much as oven the trace of a bedstead being left. The other fire broke out in the Grand Janction Canal Company's dockyard, No. 18, Wharf-roed, City-road, and although the firemen had been actively engaged for six hours, the flames were not entirely extinguished at seven o'clock. The stores were burnt out, and the ad joining buildings are also much injured by fire, water, and breakage. The heat from the furnace flue was the cause of the outbreak. The Royal Society's fire escapes with Mr. Inspector Braddelly were soon on the spot, bat fortunately their services were not required. LATEST PARTICULARS. A most painful sensation prevailed the whole of yes terday throughout the extensive parish of Newington in reference to the melancholy loss of life which occurred at 31, John-street, noticed above. The house consisted of only three rooms, and from the ground floor to the roof was, probably, not more than 12 or 14 feet high. Mr. Richardson, who with his wife lived in the parlour, on being awoke by the smell of smoke, and on finding that the house was on fire, made his escape as quickly as possible. The policeman, while waiting at the corner of the street for his sergeant, was suddenly alarmed by loud cries of " Police," and "Murder," proceeding from the premises. As soon as he reached the door Mr. Richardson and his wife emerged from the house, and, not knowing that any one else was within, he closed the street door to prev h en ni t ldi t n h g e u draught hhetnhedispatched him to a fr r o r m iva f l or o c f ing his th s e es er fl g a e m ant, twhhroougt factnot otifllthafeteprootlriemeaffincer and had h his call the engines. departed that the became known. T in the upper room h wile being ten. dering it impossible for any one to enter. The Bri fl:arwfuals flames then had enveloped the room in question, gado and West of England engines were on the spot in less than ten minutes after the alarm was gi ven , and by another quarter of an hour the fire was safely extinguished. Shells having been procured during the morning the mangled remains were removed to the dead-house, to await a coroner's inquest. Tho Brigade authorities during the day instituted a very searching inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining how the melancholy event happened, the result of which leaves no doubt that both Mr. and Mrs. Potts, when they arrived home, were intoxicated, and it is suspected that in retiring to bed they dropped a spark on to the bedding, which being unperceived must have smouldered until it broke out in a flame. The poor creatures were by that time so overcome with the liquor they had drunk that they were unable to assist themselves. In the Lord Mayor's Court, yesterday, was heard a case of gre a t interest to parties having claims upon foreign Baron de H a b er had, at his private bankers, is London, a Governments. As far back as the y ear 1834, the considerable sum. The Government being pressed for m oney , compelled the banker to surrender it for their use, and the Baron received assurances that the amount would be re turned. From that day unt il the p resent not a six p en ce has been refunded, and according l y to obtain so m e se ttlement of the claim, im amounting, with arrears of interest, to about the moneys lodged by the Portuguese Financial agency here with the London Joint Stock Bank, have been attached. The merits of the case as regard s th e se i z ure were not before the cour t, but simply the rights of attach ment, and this was held not to exist, because the amount does not belong to the Queen of Portugal, who, it is alleged, has no control whatever over it when once remitted to Eng land. The difficulty, of course, in these cases is to deter mine the party to whom the money really does belong. No doubt the case will, in a new shape, be followed up, and if Baron de Haber is unable to recover of the Government, we presume his banker will be liable. If any justification of the seizure is to be made, we shall then probably have it. The public debt of Prussia which bears interest amounts to 155 millions of thalere, to which must be added 18,333,000 thalers of provincial debt. The debt of the State has increased 26,599,006 thalers s ince 1850.
