The house of Lords met at Five o'clock. The Public Nuisances Bill was read a second time. Several petitions were presented on the subject of the Maynooth Bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE explained that he had made inquiries into the conduct of the Shei ill's in admit ting the public to the condemned sermon in the case of 'locker, and had found that they had only followed the example of their predecessors ; at the same time, he thought the practice had better be discontinued. Aftcr a complaint (founded on a petition) made by Lord BROUGHAM of the inconvenience to which the in habitants of Newfoundland were subjected by having their letters from England transmitted via Halifax, and an explanation on the subject from Lord STANLEY, Lord BEAUMONT moved for certain papers relating to zrecent transactions in Greece, and made a lengthened statement of the history of recent transactions in that country. The Earl of ABERDEEN shortly replied, after which the Noble Lord (BEAtrmoNT) withdrew his motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved the second read ing of the Charitable Trusts Bill, and in so doing ex plained at some length the bearings of the measure. _ _ After a short discussion, in which Lord COTTENHAM, Lord CAMPBELL, Lord ASHBURTON, and Lord ABIN• GER took part, the motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned. possibly widely divergent paths, are under a sad ae lusion, or are rushing to their ruin ; our goal is a com mon one. I hope, I pray, I believe, that many of us may reach it in common." Let us trust the reign of in tolerance is past. The Government have entered upon a course which friends and foes must alike admire and approve, they have commenced by acknowledging officially, the just claims of Ireland ; they are about to treat Engiiah and Irish, irrespec tively, as the common subjects of a common Sove reign—the common worshippers of the same CREATOR. They will proclaim to the neglected and oppressed, " Ye are brothers, ye are men, And we govern but to save." A distinguishing feature in this debate is the absence of party spirit. Last evening the chief of the Govern ment and the leader of the Opposition both de clared their intention to follow their own opinions regardless of friend or foe. Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke as became his proud position—he boldly declared himself the Minister of England, not the chief of a faction. We know not if his former promises led his friends to think otherwise, but we are sure that every one must agree with him, that a Minister must do his duty to his country without any regard to indivi duals. "It seems to me," he observed, " that a mis apprehension is entertained in some quarters with respect to the position of a Minister of the Crown. I am proud of the confidence, as any man can be, which a great party has placed in me ; still I never can admit that he o xis any personal obligation to those members who have placed him in a certain position, and I should consider it as the happiest day of my life when I was permitted to act merely as an indvidual Member of Parliament, unconnected even with party, rather than continue to hold office by the servile tenure of the advice I give to my Sovereign upon every subject being exactly in con formity with every opinion which every member of that party might hold." Lord JOHN RUSSELL, after ap proving of the measures of the Government, declared that no party views should induce him to oppose what he thought right, and added:— " I would say to the Government, Do net stop short with this measure, as you see you have no party differences to fear when you bring forward measures really advantageous to Ireland. What ever obstacles you may meet with, you will not be encountered by the anxiety of those who have lost power to possess themselves of office ; expect a majority of this House to go with you if you fairly and boldly declare your intentions, and rely, as the Right Hon. Gentleman declares he will, on the value of those measures themselves for the support and acceptance they will receive.' " From these sentiments we are led to anticipate the downfal of all those narrow party views which for so many years have disgraced our Legislature, divided states men into placemen and expectants, caused questions of right and wrong to be regarded but as factious disputes, and given rise to that fatal system of expediency, the curse of modern legislation, which has proved alike destruc tive to the fame of Parliaments and Ministers, and op posed to the happiness and welfare of the people. When we very lately animadverted on the strange anomalies and deficiencies of our criminal law, and in stanced the absurd inequality with which punishment was apportioned to offences coming under the cognisance of its jurisdiction (an inequality by reason of which the severest penalties are sometimes meted out for the most venial transgressions of a statute, having regard to cer tain acts in themselves indifferent—and the lightest are inflicted for crimes the most revolting to humanity, be cause of some technical informalities in the indictment, or some error in the pleadings), we little imagined that we should so soon encounter an evidence of the physical existence of one of those unconvicted ruffians who now and then escape in the last crisis, as it were, of fat', the ignominious doom they have justly merited. It is undoubtedly a sound principle of humanity, and of justice as well as of law, to assume any man inno cent, in the face of whatever evidence may have been brought forward to substantiate his guilt, until a verdict of Guilty shall have been recorded against him. At the same time there are facts and circumstances on which, though the cumulative and legal proof necessary to establish a conviction may be wanting, the impression of the public mind is clear and distinct that they are conclusive of the guilt of the accused. We mentioned the case of one " SHEENE," tried many years ago at the bar of the Old Bailey, for the murder of his infant child by cutting its head off. This ruffian escaped conviction at the time, solely by virtue of some worthless quibble as to the technical description in the indictment of himself or his victim—(for we really forget which). Whichever it was, he had been styled in the pleas of the Crown " THOMAS " for " JOHN," Or " JOHN " for " THOMAS." So ciety, it might have been supposed, was in terested only to know—first, whether a murder had been committed upon the child; secondly, by whom; and upon neither of these points was the slightest doubt expressed, either by the jury or the judge. The flaw in the indictment, however, being pleaded by his counsel, was held to be fatal, and he escaped that doom which it would he an affectation of delicacy to suppose that any individual in the country, who had perused the evidence tendered at his trial, ever doubted that he had most richly merited. In these distressing cases, where the meshes of the law may be said to break through after hav ing netted their prey, natural instinct usually deters the monster which has broken out of them from ever ven• The accounts from Madrid, which are to the 14th inst., are without interest. The Chamber of Deputies had adjourned to the 16th, when it was understood the Cortes would be prorogued by the QUEEN in person. The Court was to leave for Barcelona about the 24th. The Three per Cents. closed at 34 3-16 for cash, and 35 at GO days; the Five per Cents. at 24 for cash, and 25i for 60 days; the Coupons at 271 for cash; and the Debt without Interest, at 8j at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies, the Minister of Fi nance, in reply to questions put to him relative to the propo sition of M. GANNERON to raise the sum of 21,000,000/. on certain conditions for the construction of railroads, said he could not accept such an offer. The demands were exor bitant, and he had too good an opinion of the credit of France to contract loans on such disad vantageous terms. The adoption of the line by Haze brouck and Fampoux had caused unbounded joy among the delegates from the department of Pas-de-Calais. One of the Paris papers says—" Scarcelyhad the President declared the amendment adopted, when they fell into one another's arms, and tumultuously rushed to the Salle dee Pas-Perdus, which the members for the north and Pas-de-Calais were at the time entering. The latter were immediately seized and embraced. The ladies from Fampoux and Hazebroack, unable to resist so much enthusiasm, fell into the arms of the Hon. Gentlemen. At length the emo tion subsided, and the Delegates, storming a table allotted to the officers of the Chamber, who draw up the reports of the discussions in the Committees, hastened with every paper and pen they could pounce upon, to transmit the glorious news to Fampoux and llazebrouck." At the opening of the sitting on Tuesday the Minister of Public Works presented a Bill for regulating the police of the Channel fisheries, and also two other Bills, one demanding a vote o 5,000,000 francs to construct a vet dock at St. Nazaire and the other 3,000,000 f. for works on the Adour, between Bayonne and St. Esprit. The Chamber then resumed the dis cussion on the northern line, when it was proposed that the condition of the contract for the branch line from Haze brouck to Fampoux should be the same as for the St. Quentin and St. Creil line, and that the security should be fixed at 1,500,000 f. This clause was adopted as well as another, of some importance to Boulogne and Ca lais, that no reduction of fares or charges for goods should take place on the lines to these towns which should not be common to both. The debate on the fourth clause relative to the duration of the concession was going on at the hour of post. The Government had proposed a period of 45 years, and the Committee on the Bill had reduced it to 33. turing again into their vicinity. So, in those rare cases where a technical informality has overridden the whole force of direct proof, positive depositions, and circum stantial evidence, the lucky delinquent has gene rally been too happy to withdraw himself from the yell of public indignation and the pointed finger of scorn and infamy, in the safe retreat of obscurity and silence. In the police re ports for Wednesday last, under the head of Wor ship-street, we read of a WILLIAM SHEEN, brought up for having assaulted and threatened the life of a re spectable publican. The case was proved to the satis faction of the magistrate, and SHEEN was bound over to keep the peace, himself in his own recognizance for 100/, with two sureties of 501 each. These were very readily procured, for this SHEEN, it appears, is a pros perous personage, possessing household property in the vicinity of the office to the amount of more than 701 per annum. It is further stated that he is the same than, we were going to say, who, having cut off the head of his infant child, was allowed, through the carelessness of the Clerk of the Arraigns, to slip his own out of the halter. We had no expectation of ever encountering this " wolf-head" again. We had thought that even the most obscene and darksome purlieus of Shoreditch and Spitalfielda could have vindicated themselves from the imputation of har bouring such inhabitants. But this is an age of surprises• It must be imagined that the public like to renew old acquaintances of however questionable a reputation under any circumstances however startling. For our own parts, we are beyond the reach of such emotions. Nil ari 13 the motto we take up with. We shoul I scarcely utter an interjection were we told to-morrow that the injured and scientific experimentalist, Mr. BELANEY, was endeavouring to get enrolled as licentiate in medicine and surgery under a new Charter for " par ticular " instead of " general " practitioners. Yet we do marvel at our law of bail, or the discretion of our magistrates in administering it. To-day a gentleman of great respectability is brought before one magistrate, for soundly horsewhipping the seducer of his own daughter in the person of his brother-in-law, her uncle. Application is made to bail the gentleman who has, under such irrepressible feelings of ' resentment, com mitted such an act of violence. The Magistrate, Mr. TWYFORD, refuses under eircumstan'ces thus special to accept bail, and asks, with a simplicity quite touching— " Why should he ?" To-morrow you shall have a no torious murderer, with no other recommendations but those of his luck in defrauding the public executioner, brought up on a charge of wanton and brutal assault, without any such provocation of intolerable injury, before another magistrate. The charge is proved to his satis faction, and this Magistrate, on bail being tendered for the notorious offender before him, accepts it with a facility that seems to ask—" why should he not?" The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tues day, at 86f. 25c. ; the New Loan, at 86f. 65c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,252 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,130 f. ; Vierzon, Bf. 30c. ; Havre, 917 f. 50c ; Avig non, 1,065 f. ; Basle, 275 f. ; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 62 20; Spanish Active, 40; Spanish Three per Cents., 42 ; Spanish Passives, 8. The following are the quotations for the new lines :- Orleans and Bordeaux, 235 f. premium ; Boulogne, 140 f. ditto ; Troyes and Montereau, 75f. ; Paris and Lyons (Laffitte ), 22f. 50c. ; ditto (Calon), If. 50c.; ditto (Ganneron), 20f. ; Northern line (Laffitte), 32f. 50c. ; ditto (Rosamel), 14E Tours and Nantes (Mackenzie), 12f. 50c. ; ditto (Drouil lard), par ; ditto (O'Neill), 15f. ; ditto (Jacques Lefevre), par ; Lyons and Avignon (Lecointe), 25f. ; ditto (Talabot), 35f. ; ditto (Compagnie Meridionale), 12E'. 50c. ; Bordeaux and Toulouse (Mackenzie), sr. ; ditto and Cette (Espeleta), 17E 50e. ; Creil and St. Quentin, If. 25c. ; Paris and Stras burg (Ganneron), 15. ; Dijon and Mulhouse, 4f. 25c. DIVISIONS ON THE MAYNOOTII BILL.—The num ber of Members who divided on the third reading were :—Ayes, 317 ; Noes, 184 ; Tellers, 4—Total, 505. The number of Members present at the division on the second reading, which took place on the morning of the 18th of April, was 503, being two less than in the last division, and were arranged as follows : Ayes, 323 ; Noes, 176 ; Tellers, 4. So that the ayes on the second reading exceeded those of the third by 6, and the noes were less by B—a very trilling difference after so many speeches, both in the House and out of it. On looking over the lists we can di cover the names of only three Members who have changed sides. These are the Hon. CRAVEN BRRILELEY, Mr. JOSEPH BROTHERTON, and Admiral DUNDAS, who reversed their votes. Mr. POULETT SCROPE voted for the second reading, but was absent at the third. Mr. ALEXANDER PRINGLE voted against it, and was also absent at the division yesterday morning. Mr. WAwN voted consistently at both divi sieus in support of the measure. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL. The last performance this season of Ifaydn's beautiful work, " The Creation," is fixed for Friday (this evening). _ _ _ NEW TREATY WITH FRANCE.—The friendship between England and France has just been further consolidated by a treaty in reference to the slave trade, orwhieb that honest statesman, the Dnc de Broglie and her Britannic Majesty's Government have, we hear, definitively settled the conditions. It requires at present only to be reduced to official form, to be initialed, then signed, and sub mitted for the ratification of the respective sovereigns. While speak ing of the relations between the two countries, it gives us much plea sure to add that there is not the slightest foundation for the rumours recently circulated of the retirement of the Comte de St. Aulaire from the Embassy of France at this Court.—Post. A letter from Berne, of the 16th, states that the Councillor of State Aubry, who was sent to Lucerne to solicit cle mency iu favour of Dr. Steiger, had returned without accomplishing the object of his mission, but that it was hoped the Pope's Nuncio would exercise his influence on the side ofmercy, and in that case it was considered that Dr. Steiger was safe as regarded capital punish ment, although he might be condemned to a long imprisonment. The division of Wednesday decided the fate of the Maynooth Bill. This result is not the triumph of any sect or faction, it is the triumph of the sacred cause of Justice —an acknowledgment of Ireland's rights and England's duties. We gladly receive this measure for its own sake, but, above all, we hail it as the harbinger of better things—as the first step in a system of legislation, which, not based on the shifting sands of expediency, but founded on the solid rock of principle, shall not veer with every breeze, and quail before every storm, but remain firm and in . - vincible as truth. It is another triumph for the cause to find those very men who once were chiefs in the ranks of oppression—they who were first amid the arbi trary and intolerant—should now be foremost in the cause of justice—become conciliators, and messengers of peace. They have been taught in the stern but effectual school of experience—they have learned that right is more power ful than might—that tyranny may control for a time, ever butli the justice alone can ev e ntually conquer. Ireland has been e mustdifficulty" statesman, sister c ando ucountry t n ry o wonder—it like a conquered province • it must be, and, thank Heaven, it is, n o t only difficult but im • possible to govern a free and generous people by any laws but those of justice and equality ; t o say to n opinions shall be your op inion s, a u entire nation '° our be your religion," and our way s shall be religion shall your ways." The power of conscience is the strongest feeling human breast.

MAGNAT. —John Ell, late a warehouseman in the employ of Sir W. Magnay, and John Nicholson, a stationer, were tried before the Common Sergeant, at the Central Criminal Court—Ell for steaing, and Nicholson for feloniously receiving certain quantities of paper, the property of Messrs. Magnay. The jury having heard the evidence, acquitted both the prisoners. Nicholson was discharged, there being no other indictment against him. The trial of the indictments against the other parties charged with robbing Messrs. Magnay was post poned until next sessions. TALLOW CHANDLERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY: The second anniversary of this Society was heidon Wednesday at the London Tavern, and was very numerously attended, John Masterman, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The Society is in its infancy, but promises to be a very useful and excellent charity, and the toast of its " prosperity," proposed by the chairman, was universally re sponded to with every wish for its success. The amount of subscrip tions was considerable on the occasion, including 100 guineas from Mr. T. S. Clarke, 10 guineas from the chairman, Alderman Fare brother ten guineas, the Proprietors of the Loudon Tavern five guineas, Bzc. On Wednesday information was received by the police that on the 16th instant there were stolen from the person of the Rev. J. Heathcote Brooks, of Brasenose College{ Oxford, while In the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street, a nissla , leather case con taining several letters, the scrip of ten Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway shares, receipts of the deposit of ten Great North of Scotland shares, and a cheque for 201. drawn in favour of Mr. Wood upon the Old Bank of Oxford, and backed to Messrs. Coutts, Strand, London. As a proof of the increasing inclination of the in habitants of London to proceed towards the sea for recreation, it may be stated that in the year 1943 upwards of 1,200,000 persons were landed at the various piers at Gravesend, and which was In. creased to upwards of 2,000,000 in the year 1844. These, of course, are exclusive of those who visited Southend, Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, amounting to upwards of 250,000.—Eases Herald.

There are no late arrivals to.day from any quarter. The ungenial state of the weather is much complained of by all who are connected with the piece-goods and fancy trades, and the sales usually effected about this time have been much diminished in consequence.

So much time was occupied in comparing books, that betting until late in the afternoon was almost at a stand still.

ROBERTS, LATE LESSEE OF THE STRAND THEATRE.—We understand that this gentleman sailed last week for New York, and that it is his intention to take a professional tour through the States before he returns to England. We augur favourably of his success, for cur transatlantic brethren are not only excellent patrons, but excellent judges of actors, and they will, no doubt, appreciate the refined manners and the joyous abandon of our friend Roberts in light comedy parts. We understand that he takes out with him Don Cesar de Bazan, in which we have no doubt he will make a hit. Mr. Roberts is not only an excellent actor, but a good singer and a dancer—witness his Lord Allcash in F,'a Diacolo, and his Polka. The Polkamania is now over, but we must confess that of all the Polkas, that danced by Roberts and Mrs. Montgomery pleased us the best, and the public were of our opinion, if we may judge from the fact of its having been repeated upwards of 150 times. We wish him every success during his transatlantic trip, although we should certainly have been better pleased if we could have kept him amongst us, for dramatic talent is now-a-days so scarce that we cannot afford to spare any of it. THE GOVERNESSES BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. We are glad to hear that Mr. Sideman will be enabled, after defray ing all the expenses of the recent concert, - which amount to about 2001., to hand over to the committee of the Governesses' Benevolent Institution the handsome suns of 2241., inauding forty guineas In do nations, COURT CIRCULAR.

A very splendid entertainment was given at the Man sion- Hou , e, on Tuesday, to the Bishops, by the Lord Mayor, after the celebration, at St. Paul's Cathedral, of the 144th Anniversary of the Society for the propaga tion of the Gospel in foreign parts. Amongst the company were the Archbishop of Can terbury, the Bishops of London, Winchester, Bangor, Rochester, Llandaff, Peterborough, Litchfield and Co lombo, the Deans of Hereford, Chichester, and West minster, and several other distinguished members of the Church ; Aldermen Sir C. Hunter, Sir John Key, Bart., Sir John Pirie, Bart., Sir C. Marshall, Lucas, Fair brother, Johnson, Hooper, Farncornb, Musgrove, Challis, Moon, Hunter, and Sidney, the Chamberlain, Town-Clerk, &c. The table was laid in the Egyptian Hall. Several ladies graced the entertainment. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the toast of " Church and Queen, " announced that her Majesty had sub scribed 1001 towards the funds of the Society, and in proposing " the Health of the Queen-Dowager," he stated that that Illustrious Lady had doubled her sub scription. Several other toasts (amongst others " the Health of the Lord Mayor," proposed by the Archbishop of Can terbury, in a most eulogistic speech) were then drunk, and shortly after eleven o'clock, the company separated. About one hundred and twenty guests partook of the Lord Mayor's splendid hospitality on this occasion. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Don Giovanni was repeated last evening with the same cast as on Tuesday. The Viennese gave us the pas Rococo, the pas des fleurs, and the pas des Amours. Then wo had Cerito and St. Leon in a pas from Les Houris, and then followed the Esmeralda, with Carlotta Grisi, her first appearance for the season. The first glimpse that was caught of her, as she comes bounding on from the back of the stage, dancing to her tambou rine, was the signal for a burst of enthusiastic applause. The fair Carlotta looked exceedingly well and danced and acted excellently. it Ti La uandaise was never danced more beautifully than was last evening. But why should we dilate on this them e ? Wh o h as not seen , who has not admired—or if they have nut seen, who has not longed to see, to admire the Esmeralda of Car lotta Grisi ? The house was well and most fashionably attended, for, under the management of Mr. Lumley, Thursday is as fashionable a night as either Saturday or Tuesday. MADLLE. SOPHIE D ULCKEN'S C ONCERT. —PRI NCESSS CONCERT-ROOMS. This very talented child gave a concert at the above rooms lass evening ; and we are happy to say the room was crowded. The performances of Sophie Dulcken are really wonderful. As a youthful pianist; she is un rivalled. She is only ten years of age ; her little fingers cannot yet reach an octave, and last evening she per formed three pieces, one of them the fantasia from La Donna del I.ago, composed by , Thalberg for, himself; and for the express purpose of enabling him to exhibit his own wonderful command over the instrument, with an ease, a precision, and a power, which left nothing to be desired. On seeing that fairy form sitting at the pianoforte, we were al mos t tempte d to as k whe ther it could be possible that such a child could produce such effects. Whether " the eyes were made the fools of the other senses, or else worth all the rest." Made moiselle Mayer, the lady flutist, gave us a fantasia on the flute. The performance of this lady is really very wonderful—in the more level passages it is like the warbling of some sweet bird—her lower notes are parti cularly rich. In what may be called the " tricks" of flute playing, she has not the power of some of her male rivals, but what she wants in power is more than made up for in richness of tone and in exquisite expression and feeling. Staudigl and John Parry were also there. It is needless to add that they were encored in everything they sung. Mademoiselle Schloss gave us the opening sce-ia of Der Freyscluik with exceeding power and great cor rectness, and Madame Blaes Meerti, in Mercadante's aria Della Donna di Caritea, was magnificent. Her fine rich deep contralto voice told superbly in this aria. Since the days of Pisaroni never has such a magnificent contralto been heard. She gave us, in the second part, Schubert's Baracarole ; and here, too, her deep, rich voice told admirably. We hope to have the pleasure of hearing Madame Blaes Meerti frequently during the course of the season. Hers is a voice of a quality so rich—of a compass so great—as to be a rarity in the musical world, and, what is not often the case with contraltos, her intonation is as pure .as possible. We bad, moreover, the Misses Williams, Miss Galbraith, Signor Brizal, and Handel Gear, among the vocal performers, besides Edward Meyer on the clarionet, Giulio Regondi on the con certina, and Adolphe Simon on the violin. They all exerted themselves to the utmost, and were rewarded with rapturous applause. Altogether this concert of little Sophie Dulcken's has been one of the pleasantest of the season. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000 Pales, of .which 1,500 were on speculation.
