The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill was read a second time, as was the CustomslDutics Imports Bill. Lord BROUGHAM again drew their Lordships' atten tion to the encroachments of Railway Companies. After a short conversation on the subject of the Welsh bishoprics, Lord DENMAN moved the second reading of the Oaths Dispensation Bill. Lord CAMPBELL and Lord BROUGHAM censured the principle of the Bill, which was objected to by the Earl of \Vic KLOW. The Earl of DEVON objected to leaving it to the dis cretion of the Bankruptcy Court to decide whether the objection to taking an oath was conscientious or not ; and the Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that a general declaration should be substituted for an oath. This suggestion was acceded to, and the order of the day was discharged, in order to afford an opportu nity of introducing a clause to carry the suggestion into effect. The Bail in Error Bill was read a second time. The Earl of DALHOUSIE moved the second reading of the Auction Duties' Bill. After a few observations from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord STANLEY, the Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, as there were but twenty-nine Members present at Four o'Clock, there was no House. Another division has taken place on the Maynooth grant, and the majority, as at the first, is still as large as the friends of liberty, and justice, and charity, could desire. In a House, consisting of 355 Members, 232 voted for the grant, and only 119 against it, leaving the large majority of 113. Oxford and Cambridge have thus tried their strength, and they have been signally defeated. But we do these learned bodies injustice, for they have not petitioned against the Bill, nor in any way moved against the Bill—they have, on the contrary, rejected all solicitations for that purpose; but still the bigoted Tories, who represent them, have per severed in their preposterous career, and thereby fixed a stigma upon our seats of learning, which in this instance they little deserve. Indeed, their conduct in the whole affair, which has raised such a fierce outcry, is highly commendable. They have adhered to the purposes for which they were instituted—the in struction of youth in elegant literature, arts, and sciences —in labours, the object of which is to civilise the human mind, and prevent Englishmen from degrading themselves like barbarians, by indulging in national antipathies and wicked religious animosit'es. The, Church of England, we rejoice to say, has at last shown the same Christian disposition, and its conduct has been nobly followed by another Church—the Church, too, that has in flicted incalculable woes on Ireland. There has been no opposition in that quarter. On the contrary, many of the heads of the Establishment, but more especially the rectors and curates, who live among the Catholic popu lation, have given to the measure their full adhesion and regard it as the very best measure that could be de vised for allaying the irritation that has so long pre vailed, and absolutely destroyed every influence that the Protestant religion could by any chance have exercised in a country abounding with Roman Catholics. We are, therefore, inclined, looking at all these demonstrations of the Established Church and Universities in both countries, to attribute the opposition raised by Sir ROBERT INGLIS and Mr. LAW to personal and individual motives, and it is gratifying thus to find that men who can oppose such a just and necessary measure have so very little influence in the community, and also have been so thoroughly de feated even with a host at their back who, by the way, have not one feeling in common with the representatives of the two national Universities. Sir ROBERT INGLIS conducted himself with his usual ability, which is re spectable, but Mr. LAW added no honour to his former displays in Parliament. When making the first speech against the measure, he was repeatedly interrupted for reading it. When he, at last, announced his motion, no one could understand it, and he finally adopted the usual phrase, that the Bill " be read a second time that day six months." In this he has been triumphantly defeated, and we therefore trust that after such fair trials this will be the last serious contest on the question. At all events, whatever may happen, Sir ROBERT PEEL is prepared to persevere with unabating zeal in the good cause, alike regardless of the reproaches of bigoted friends and worthyer occasion o f the taunts of p o liti ca l enem i es. His speech on M7l-11,3• wa r sn a 1 in e i s r t e e r m e o m f be th r e did Cr h ow e n so , e a o n m d pl o e n te n ly o f. a Minister w satisfy every reasonable mind, that in 1829 he had no alternative but to r ema i n in office and fight w i t h WEL LINGTON in putting down all those bigoted and blind par tizans who would have risked a civil war in Ireland, under the hypocriti ca l p re t ence o f maintaininc, the bl • blessings of the Established Chur c h. Th e most bitter' opponents of the measure, it is well known, were GEORGE IV. (thou g h his opposition was carried on un d er h an d ) and his Royal Highness—the chief of the rebellious Orange Club--now his Majesty of HANOVER. It is a singular feature certainly in this contest that the two great bulwarks of Protestantism at that time were the KING and the Duke of CE3IBERLAND. We wish the Church of Eng land joy of such saints. Sir ROBERT red, at that time acted a wise part—he set the Court and the Church at defiance, and triumphed over intolerance and bigotry. He is pursuing a much more easy course now, for the Court is fully with him. The Church, at all events, is quiescent, and he has mainly to contend against Sir ROBERT INGLis and Mr. LAW, supported by only a very small section of Tories, and resting almost entirely on men whom they more cordially hate than Catholics or Mahomedar.s The question in fact is settled, but coma what may Sir ROBERT PEEL will fight in so just a calls., to the last, either as a chief or a subordinate officer. The concluding part of his speech on Monday, which is admir able, leaves no doubt on the subject, and the Irish may trust to his promise. His words were:—" I will not say that I was net prepared for the opposition which this measure has met with from the Dissenters ; but I will say this, that much as I re spect the expression of public feeling upon all subjects, so far from deterring me upon this, it will only tend as an additional impulse to me to proceed. Ido not say this in defiance of any party, but to prove to the Roman Ca tholics of Ireland that the Government of this country are prepared to adhere to their measures, which are dictated by none other than a kindly feeling. But of this Iv. ill give them the assurance—that, in office or out of office, that which I have undertaken to do I will, to the utmost of my power, fulfil ; it may be short of their expecta tions, but they never shall have cause to charge me with abandoning their interest-11 hich I will advance to the extent to which I feel, consistently with my public duty, I can promote it." It is impossible to regard without profound interest the present tendency of legislation in this country to re pair the wrongs, the omissions, the injustice of past pe riods of civil oppression, of political animosities, of re ligious bigotry. If, under some aspects, " the present age" is really to be regarded as " that of a cold, selfish utilitarianism" (a proposition which, however confidently advanced, we take leave flatly to dispute), it must be allowed by its worst defamers that it presents others of an ennobling and most generous character. It is in these that the healing spirit of conciliation is mani fested—now so happily extinguishing long-rooted and exhausting prejudices, and infusing new life and energy and harmonious action into the various members of our great national family. Between Protestants of the Es tablishment and Protestant Dissenters the influence of conflicting dogmas—nurtured by unworthy jealousy Con the one hand, and estranging disabilities on the other, into destructive prejudices of caste and party—is fast subsiding. Day by day they are returning into relations with each other of Christian fellowship. The repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts is fast doing its good work of paralyzing that principle of repulsion which has for centuries driven a Christian of one denomination from the presence of a Christian of another. The re peal of the Roman Catholic disabilities, in like manner, has operated, in spite of the accidents of party strife and the re-action of politico-religious agitation, to pro mote a gentler and more genial feeling in members of the Romish for those of the Protestant Church, than the Christian world has witnessed, perhaps, since the Re formation. To smooth the " rough ways" which the ob stacles interposed by religious intolerance have, too long, offered to their united march in the career of uni versal charity and improvement, of active benevolence and speculative morality, has surely been among one of the holiest, as it has been—so far as it has yet proceeded —one of the most successful efforts of British legislation during the last eighteen years. But whilst the two great divisions of the Christian Church of this empire have thus been brought nearer together by the counsels of an enlightened toleration, which leaves the general responsibility for religious doc trines to be settled between the creature and his CREATOR ; and whilst the results of these counsels have displayed themselves in the increased impetus communi cated to the movement of the national progress through all its branches of material industry and moral energy, there is one great community among us still hampered by the badges of civil disqualification—of political re pudiation—imposed upon them by the barbarous preju dices of benighted ages. Christian lawgivers in every country in Europe—in many more harshly, but in none mere obstinately than our own—have combined, under the delusion of rendering a signal homage to truth, to visit with pains aad penalties that devoted race whose existence is identified with two thousand years of suffer ing and persecution for that they have conscientiously believed to be THE truth. By the Churches of Romanism and Protestantism the Christianity of both has been derived through the Jews. Both of them, despite their conflicting polemics, concur in recognising their Jewish origin, in the succession of patriarchs and prophets, which preceded the nativity of the DIVINE FOUNDER of their common faith. The perverseness of the Jews, in obstinately refusing to acknowledge the identity of that Thymic BRING with the promiseditMEssiAli of their sacred Scripture and their native traditions, is a fatuity which one might have imagined it were better to leave to be dealt with by the OMNISCIENT SUPREME, than to attempt to coerce or to restrain by human ordinances and vindictive penalties. To these, however, that mar vellous and venerable people, which boast to this day its irrefragable evidences of having produced by far the most illustrious of human law givers, have been subjected for twenty centu ries. The theatres and the progress of their civil amelioration have hitherto been but few and tardy ! If in Holland, and Prussia, and some parts of the Austrian dominions, they have acquired large political and municipal privileges, they are sore persecuted in Russia, and from Poland they have been driven forth with a rod more stern and terrible than that wherewith the Assyrian smote their captive fathers. If in England and in France they have been raised to the highest rank of that social intercourse which many among them have refined by their talents and embel lished by their magnificence, they are permitted "Pariahs," only, in the Papal States; they are outraged in Italy; they are but upon sufferance in Spain and Portugal ; and in the most refined countries of the East their tenure of property and life is almost as precarious as that of their occasional honours, or the favour of the Sovereigns by whose caprice or connivance they hold them. But in England—the land where personal rights and the claims of legal citizenship are best appreciated— their position of civil disability is more anomalous than it could be in any other country. It now becomes a question of deep interest to the moralist, as well as the political observer, " What will be the ultimate fate of the Jewish Civil Disabilities Bill, now pending in the House of Commons ?" Upon what principle are these disabilities to be con tinued ? In which of the elements that constitute good citizenship are our modern English Jews wanting ? Is it in loyalty to the SOVEREIGN ? Obedience to the laws ? In habits of industry, in commercial ability or enterprise ? In thriftiness ? In the accumulation, employment, and diffusion of capital ? Why, it were as idle to challenge their pretensions in any one of these particulars as to dispute their expansive charity (for that is by no means sectarian or exclusive), or their general kindliness of deportment. In treating such questions as these, we are not to be hampered by a few miserable exceptions which, however, if they came be fore us more prominently or offensively in persons of the very lowest and most abject of this people, are common among the more inferior classos of all nations. Looking to the general position the Jews occupy—to the ability and integrity with which they must be allowed to have dis charged whatever duties and trusts of a public nature you have yet confided to them—we cannot repress our astonishment that there should be any, from which, on no better warranty than that of mere worthless, legen dary prejudice, you still exclude them by law under a sweeping sentence of civil disability. If he make an unexceptionable sheriff; what is that peculiarity in the idiosyncracy of a Jew which incapacitates him from be coming an excellent Alderman, or an unimpeachable Lord Mayor, or an eminently useful Member of Parlia ment ? And yet, by an adamantine gate, mo:e impas sable, hitherto, than that which shuts out a Soodra from dl possibility of entering the Brahminical caste, you shut out the Israelite sheriff on that side from all that lies on this ! But we are of good heart. The tide of common sense, as well as common justice, has set in : and we have a strong faith that the day is not distant when our Jewish sisters shall snatch from " the willowss," that have so long wailed over their humiliation and sorrow, "the harps," whose strains shall be exchanged for those that erst were wafted " over the waters of Babylon," for the music of that exultation and joy which shall bespeak a people restored to the long lost dignity of freedom and equality among the equal and the free of a happier land. On recurring to the debate of Friday night last, on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S moving the House into Committee on the subject of Irish and Scotch banking, we must repeat the expression of our satisfaction with the general features of the plans announced by the Premier. If this satisfaction appears at first sight somewhat inconsistent with the earnest and anxious tone of deprecation we have adopted, on so many occasions, in looking forward to that exposition, which has now been given, of the Minister's intentions, we must take leave to remind our readers that our misgivings, up to Friday evening itself, were shared in by the whole Scottish public. On that very morning, indeed, there was published in some of the London jour na l s a report of the proceedings and votes of one o f t h ose numerous meetings of the Scottish nobility, ge n t ry , b ankers, &c., which have been conTened THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1845. during the last twelve months, to take into considera tion the propriety of petitioning the Legislature against the intended interference of the Premier with the exist ing system of Ireland as well as Scotland. Under that system these two portions of the empire had been per mitted to retain the small note circulation, which is on all hands admitted to have been an essential and pri mary element in the development of that prosperity and wealth, the growth of which, in Scotland more especially, has been so rapid and so steady, and which, in both the ens and the other, carries with it so many indications of permanency. It will be recollected that last year, not only at the commencement, but both in the progress and at the termination of the debates on that which we can never characterise as °thee than the " disastrous complement" of his Currency Stan dard Bill of 1819, Sir ROBERT PEEL, in answer to the numerous questions propounded to him on the subject, over and over again distinctly intimated his purpose, this session, to assimilate the law of Scotland and Ireland, with regard to a small-note circulation to that of England —that is, to make 51. notes the lowest paper issues. We might not without impropriety deplore the needless uneasiness and pain which Sir ROBERT'S long-continued mystery on this question has occasioned. He has, in this affair, carried to its extremest limit that secrecy of intentions which no British Meister had ever before pushed to the same extent ; but we will not quarrel with him on that head. We sincerely rejoice at the fact of his greatly modified intentions en this point. The scheme of requiring monthly or other periodical returns from Scotch and Irish banks of their issues is, in the languago of Mr. Fox MAULE, " not so dangerous as we expected." It " scarcely touches," as Mr. PATRICK STEWART observed of it, " that most material question of the low denomination of the bank-notes, about which the greatest degree of alarm and dissatisfaction had been created." Mr. HOME founded his approval of the scheme on this very ground too ; for he " had come down to the House expecting that the plan to be proposed would do more, which, had it done, would have produced mis chief." And Mr. COLQUIIOUN'S approbation was won by the same features of abandonment of the original de sign to withdraw the small bank -note.circulation, and the general moderation of the rest of the plan, with the excep tion of one or two details, into which we shall not, on this occasion, enter. Mr. WARBURTON'S question, although it elicited a negative answer—namely, "whether it was in tended to allow banks that should have made excessive is sues (or issues to an amount beyond that which, on the first average struck of their circulation, they are afterwards to be limited to), to pay their notes, when 40s. in value, in silver ?"—this question is also suggestive of some important considerations that we may discuss at some length hereafter, when we shall consider in what degree it will be possible for the Scotch and Irish banks to make those deposits of specie in the nature of guaranteed se curity for their respective circulations. On the Pre mier's own showing and figures, in his estimate of the aggregate gold currency of the United Kingdom, and from his answers to the significant questions addressed to him by Mr. C. W ow), in reference to the continued allowance of 255. notes to circulate in Scotland, and to the calculation of the monthly averages, we feel no doubt that, in practice, these deposited gold specie se curities could not be so made. On the other hand, we have no fear—after the statement of Friday last, corn paring its proposals with his announced determinations of last summer —that Sir ROBERT will be found squeez able enough on this, or any other points of exception which such an influential and determined body as the representatives of' the moneyed and banking interest of Scotland have shewn themselves to be, may hereafter take to specific details of his plan. There is one very notable concession, if we rightly collect Sir ROBERT'S meaning in a (somewhat obscure) passage of his speech, of his extreme and overruling principle of a deposited gold equivalent to be always forthcoming on demand for paper note circulation. It is, that he seems disposed to allow a large infusion of the silver element into this specie " security." If we are correct in our interpretation, we are glad of the fact. The necessity for recognising such an inconsistency in its action must go far to impress Sir ROBERT'S mind with a clear, though it be a tardy, conviction of the fallacy of his gold standard principle. If this be good for anything, it must be good altogether, not partially. It is an organic statute in his monetary legislation. To relax its application, if enforced at all, is to demolish the whole basis of controlling necessity upon which alone he has ever ventured to rest so vast an interference with existing contracts, and the value or wages of labour, as is involved in the whole theory and working of his bullion standard of currency. He so well understands that unity is at once the indication and the essence of truth, that such a deflexion from the base-line of his system must prove to him its inherent fallacy. But are we at liberty to augur any favourable result from, such convi4lons, ho aver strong they may be. when. en the face of' the forfeiture, the sacrifice of interests, mid the destruction of property, and the fearful blow he has in flicted on the great community of industrial labour in England and Wales, by his abolition of a small note circulation here, and by his rigid en forcement of the convertibility of all paper issues into gold at a pre-determined and arbitrary standard of value, he permits, to Scotland and Ireland, the very privilege he has thus withdrawn from us, at so vast and still continued a sacrifice, admitting that it is essential to their prosperity ? We will fain hope that the day is: not far distant when some moral force, of a nature like that which has been so honourably and emphatically exercised on this occasion by the gentlemen of Scotland and of Ireland, shall induce him to extend, in the same matter, " justice to England," by l we pressure. The greatly fear must the removal of his Currency Act and its " complement" from the Statute - book. What such moral infl uence , reckonings however, oonbe d a ay gran t edy w ai t l oh t i to accomp lish externala theco m frenzied spe cu l a t ors of is or h internal rail way share gambling are assuredly precipitating, and the ominous aspect of some of our foreig n re l at i ons, may b ut too soon violently nece s sitate that w hi c h soun d policy and provident statesma n s h ip would long ago have con ceded. Madrid journals of the 21st instant have been re ceived. On that day a renewed discussion took place on the proposition of Senor LLORENTE for a reduction of the expenses of the coast-guard. The measure was op posed by the Ministers of Marine and Finance, and, on a division, rejected by a majority of 64 to 7. The Minister of the Interior presented a Bill to raise a loan of 15,000,000 reals for the construction of canals and roads. The Three per Cents. closed at 35 3-16 for cash, and 354 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 25i at 60 days. The French C h aamsbpeere i o of I De l puties i. h i a tr e p rejected d b e r y e d a s la i, r in ge or m d a u j e o l r li i n ty g. bthye m otion of M. Dozo x , for the repres the present enactments sufficient, and the Minister of Justice, M. MARTIN DU NORD, took the same view. These laws, he said, from experience, had been found to work well. Previous to the alteration of the law, which took place in 1837, duels were more than three times more frequent than since that perice- In 1827 the number of persons killed in duels amounted to nineteen, in 1828 to twenty-nine, in 1829 to thirteen, in 1830 to twenty, in 1831 to twenty-five, in 1832 to twenty-eight, in 1833 to thirty-two, and in 1834 to twenty-three. In 1837 the Court of Cassation adopted a new system of jurisprudence in respect to duels, which was confirmed by the Legislature, and since then the number of deaths was comparatively small. In 1839 six duels were fatal, in 1840 three, ilnB32l,Bw4hleresbixy, the e n law 0f1842 seven , and in 1843 six. M A petition was presente d b y I. CnEmiEux from Corsica, prayi ng f or the repea l o f the law passed in 1816, condemning the BONA rAnTE family to exile, was confirmed, and the elder branch of the BOURBON dynasty was also banished from France. M. CREMIECX supported the prayer of the petitioners, but was willing to except from this measure of lenity the Duke of BORDEAUX, the Duchess of BERRY, and Prince Louis NAPOL EON . The petition was referred to the President of the Council and the Minister of the Interior. We rejoice to find that the Committee of the Chamber appointed to examine the Colonial Bill, passed by the Peers in favour of the slaves, had approved of the principles of the Bill by a majority of eight to One. The cause of the unfortunate slave is now not only popular with the public, but finds sympathy in the Chambers, and France, we trust, will soon bring to completion the grant of eman cipation. The Moniteur publishes the report of the Committee upon arming the fortifications of Paris. The total num ber of cannon amounts to 2,208, and of these 982 are to be placed on 16 forts, each fort so constructed as to be capable of maintaining itself against an enemy, and the total armament of the continued wall is reckoned at 1,226 guns. There are besides 50 Paixhans mortars, independent of wall pieces and muskets. The whole of the arms at present are to be deposited at Bourges. The Com mittee, however, are opposed to this plan, as they con sider the KING ought not to be fettered in the matter. The KING, with the advice of his Ministers, has the right of declaring war, and he should therefore not be prevented from making such preparations as he may judge necessary. These different points, however, have yet to be settled by the Chamber, and the discussion on the subject is anticipated with much interest. The report thus concludes " It is a fact that war in future will be transferred to the frontiers, that it must necessarily become methodical and slow, instead of a war of invasion, as it was formerly, and that the fortified towns of France, recovering their regular attributes, will no longer Le reduced to see their patriotic efforts annihilated, or rendered impotent. This, it cannot be too often repeated, is the principal object of the fortifi cations of Paris. But, in order that this object may be ac complished, the fortifications must be completed by being armed. For in vain you will think yourselves secure of the defence of other parts of the territory if the capital remain without means of defence, and if it be again expoSed to all the disasters of which the invasions of 1814 and 1815 have left us the cruel recollection, Regarded in a political point of view, the fortifications of Paris are not of less importance. You have ever wished, gentlemen, and with good reason, to consider the fortifications of Paris as a work of peace for the present and for the .future, by attributing to them a preventive character. That, in fact, is one of their prin cipal merits, because it is impossible that foreign Cabinets will not consider them as a considerable weight in the balance of their determinations. If you wish that it should be so you will not hesitate to terminate completely this great enterprise. The defensive resources of nations are no longer a mystery for any, and if it could exist in any country it could not be under a representative government, which, by its form and publicity of discussion, demonstrate to foreigners, as well as to the country itself, the strength and weakness of its position. Is it not evident that if ere constructed fortifications, without given them arms dispos able at a fixed period, we should, is reality, have created but a dead mass, without soul or without life, and for that reason condemned to impotency? You would not wish, gen tlemen, that a nation like France should be accused of incon sistency; and it could not enter into the mind of any friAul of his country to expose it to the ridicule of Europe and of all rational men." Accounts from Lucerne state that a treaty was con cluded at that place, on the 23d instant, between the Commissioners of the canton of Lucerne and those of Berne, Soleure, Argau, and Bale country, for the release of the prisoners belonging to the latter cantons. Ac cording to its provisions, the said cantons are to pay together au indemnity of 350,000 francs—of which Berne is to pay 70,000 francs, Soleure, 20,000 francs, Bale country, 35,000 francs, Argau, 200,000 francs, and the other cantons 25,000 francs. The contracting parties also hope that the Diet will pay 130,000 francs for the calling out of the troops, in which case Lucerne will altogether receive near 500,000 francs. In return, Lucerne promises to issue a complete amnesty to all the prisoners not belonging to that canton. The French Three per Cents. were done at TORTONI'S, on Sunday, at 85f. 60c.

We perceive from the Dublin correspondence of yesterday morning's Herald, that another new railway, purposing to tra verse a considerable portion of the opulent and prosperous county of Down, is about being launched under very favour able auspices. This is the natural result of the success of the projectors of the Newry and Enniskillen line : from the moment that excellent and much needed measure was first broached, until the Bill was read a second time on Friday last, all opposition having been withdrawn The two important towns of Newry and Armagh, between which an innuensu traffic already exists, being about to be coupled by railroad, has rendered Armagh the focus of several em • bryo lines verging to the north and north-west, any and all of which must materially enhance the value of the Newry line. Considerable interest attaches in this country to the completion of the Newry scheme, as opening up the nearest route, not only to the north, but to the whole of the west of Ireland; but to give adequate effect to that in tention, a daily communication should be established between Liverpool and Newry by more powerful steamers than those now on the station, which only ply twice a week. When this shall be accomplished, as no doubt it will be, not only wiLl :the Newry and Enniskillon line realise the national ad vantages anticipated from it by the powerful local proprietary who first took it up, but it will prove an infinitely more lucrative investment than the present shareholders have any idea of, though the shares are at a very excellent premium, which is rather to be wondered at, see ing that nearly all the original holders purchased with a view to keep, and have kept. We are glad to observe that all the Irish lines, and especially the Irish northern lines, are advancing in favour with the English capitalists. This will be the case in a more marked degree every suc ceeding day, as the recent beneficial alterations in the bank ing laws of the sister country become more apparent. No measure could have been devised more conducive to the pros perity of the northern Irish lines, than a cessation of the mo nopoly of the Bank of Ireland. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

WRECK Or THE FRENCH BRIG EUGENIE, OF DUNEIRE.-It appears that her ballast shifted, and she became so leaky that the crew could not keep her clear, and they run her on shore at Brook, at the back of the Isle of Wight. She had five feet water in the hold when she struck the ground, which was at seven o'clock ♦.M. on the 27th. They effected a landing, and most of the material will be saved ; but as it was blowing a gale right on the shore the ♦essel will become a wreck. Capt. Russell, of the Queen steamer, which arrived at Southamp ton on the 26th, reports that when off Portland at eight A.M. he saw a small sloop.rigged vessel, with square topsail, square sail, mainsail, and jib set, running with the W.S. W. wind for the Chan nel ; within the Race and the Bill of Portland a sea broke over her, she broached to, fell over on her broadside, and instantly sunk. The steamer rounded to and got ready her boats, but the unfortunate crew were never seen. After a short time the vessel was observed bottom upwards ; the steamer went round her, but nothing but a few floating spars could be seen. Prince Albert has purchased the Woodhouse estate, which in cludes the Isle of Wight racecourse, and the whole of the land from Osborne and Batton to King's Quay Creek, about 1,400 acres. Her Majesty and the Prince are expected down about the 6th of May. The ffirniture at Osborne House was to have been removed before the Ist; but application has been made to Lady Isabella Blackford to allow it to remain till after the 10th of May, her Majesty's furniture not having arrived. The Woodhouse es tate was the property of the Hon. W. H. A. A'Court Holmes, M. P. for the Isle of Wight. It cannot be too generally known that this gentleman has for some time discharged his gamekeepers, and de clared the game on his extensive estates to be the property of the tenants on whose crops they feed. MRS. SALMON.—We regret that this celebrited vocalist is suffering from the extremest poverty. To those who re. member how splendid were her talents but a few years since, we feel assured that any further appeal to their sym. pathies will be unnecessary than the fact that she Is at the present moment in a state of almost hopeless misery. A former sum of 1201. was raised by subscription, and invested in an annuity of 121., which is paidt o her in weekly instalments of four shillings and sevenpence halfpenny. And this sum has been her sole means of dependence. Her Majesty, with her usual benevolence, has transmitted a sum towards her relief— and many charitably disposed persons have followed the august example. Mr. John Oxenford Is the treasurer, and will, we feel satisfied, devote any sums hems , / receive to the best advan , age to the indigent and aged songstress. Subscriptions will be received at the principal music shops —Morn* Post SUMMARY OF NEWS ANll Vtibitt 14: ptuton. " Who runs may read." ro REIGN. The Duke de Bourdeaux and the Duchess d'Angoulerne arrived at Trieste on the 16th instant. The Duchess was to take passage in the next steam-packet for Ancona, and to proceed thence to Loretto, to visit the santa casa of the Holy Virgin. _ _ We learn by a letter of the 14th inst., from Christiana, in Norway, that the Prince Royal of Sweden, who had been suffering from a violent cold, was completely recovered. On the 15th the King, Queen, and family were to leave for Stockholm ; but his Majesty was expected to return in the autumn to close the Storthing. The Minister of Marine had forwarded orders to the com mander of the French naval station at Bourbon, to send one of the vessels under his command to Bussora, to take on board the sculptured monuments lately discovered at Nineveh by Messrs. Botta and Flandin. Those remains had been removed on rafts as far as Bagdad, and thence to Bussora. A hall in the Palace of the Louvre is now fitting up for their reception. The Constitutionnel says that M. Guizot has got leave of absence for a month, that he may have the repose necessary for the recovery of his health, and that M. Duchatel will in the meantime carry on the business of the foreign department. Friday is fixed on for the debate on the question of the Jesuits. M. Carn6, Berryer, and Lamartine have already inscribed their names as intending to speak on one side ; and M. 'Pliers, Barrot, and Dupin on the other. The Prefect of Police bas published a new ordonnance conr cerning dogs running loose in the streets of Paris. It has annexed to it recommendations from the Board of Health as to the treatment of bites from dogs. The first measures to be taken are to press the wound strongly, to force out the poison, to cauterise it, or at least wash it well with alcaline water, and afterwards without loss of time to call in the aid of a medical man. The Constitutionnel mentions the arrival at Paris of two Commissioners from Hayti, whose mission is connected with the financial questions long pending between that State and France. A letter from Lucerne of the 23d inst., in the New Zurich Gazette, says:—"Yesterday the council of war condemned several persons who, when summoned to take up arms, had not repaired to their posts, but had joined the expedition of the free corps. The Court condemned the greater part to five years' imprisonment." Vie following is taken from L'Afrique :—" Abd-el-Kader is still on the Morocco territory. The Emperor has really ordered him to quit his states, but the answer of the Emir was, that the soil belonged to God, and that he had as much right as the Emperor to remain upon it." LAW AND POLICE. Alfred Ashton aad another, who had been committed by a magistrate of the county of Huntingdon to the county gaol for refusing to enter into recognizances to keep the peace, were brought up by habeas corpus in the Court of Queen's Bench, and discharged. At Guildhall, a fellow named Jackson was committed for picking pockets at the execution. At Marylebone, James Goff was placed at the bar before Mr. itawlinson, charged with having stolen a copper, the property of r. Cheston, landlord of the Rose of Nor mandy, High-street, and fully committed. Richard Green, described as a clerk, and living with his father in East-street, Red Lion-square, was charged at Bow street, with robbing his employers, Messrs. Pickering and Co., solicitors, of No. 4, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's Inn, of upwards of 181. in notes, gold, and silver. The case was clearly proved, but the prisoner was remanded for a week, in order that the evidence might be completed. Mr. Benjamin Myer. 3, a tailor and woollen-draper of Ox ford-street, appeared at Lambeth, to answer a charge of furious driving, and running over George Jones, a child of five years of age. After commenting severely on the fact that the defendant, after having run over the child, had driven on furiously for the purpose of endeavouring to avoid detection, inflicted on him the highest penalty the law al lowed, viz., forty shillings, in addition to the expenses of the witnesses. This he said was a very inadequate punishment for the offence. At the Thames police-court Thomas Thompson, aged 29, who has been long known to the police as one of the most expert cracksmen in the metropolis, was on remand, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. William Findlay, a revenue-officer, of No. 11, Catherine-street, Poplar, and stealing property to the amount of 201. therefrom, and after further evidence he was committed for trial. COURT—PASEIIONABLE. On Monday one of the most splendid balls of the season was given by the Viscountess Palmerston at the Noble Lord's residence on Carlton Terrace. There were present the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipsthal, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duke de Broglie all the foreign Ambassadors, and nearly 400 other persons of rank and fashion. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne's • dinner party, at Lansdowne House, was given to a party of eighteen, including the Duke de Broglie, and Viscountand Viscountess Leveson. The Countess of Longford had an elegant ball also on Monday night, at her Ladyship's mansion in Bruton-street. It was expressly for the introduction of her Ladyship's daughter, Lady Georgiana Pakenham to society. The Duke of Cam bridge honoured the Countess by attending the ball, and about 300 of the nobility were likewise present. The Earl and Countess of Wilton gave a princely enter tainment, at their mansion in Grosvenor-square, when they were honoured with the company of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and Prince George of Cambridge. The Royal Prince received the cordial congra tulations of the entire party on that Prince's return from Corfu. Lord Frederick Fitclarence, who left Etal House on the 24th instant, has repaired to Buxton for a short sojourn. Sir Edward and Lady Kerrison have arrived at their resi dence in Great Stanhope-street, from Brighton. The Marchioness of Londonderry intends to give a large party on Tuesday, the 27th of May. The Marchioness of Normanby has left the Clarendon Hotel for Mulgrave Castle, near Whitby, Yorkshire. The .Earl and Countess of Lisburne have arrived in town. The Earl of Glasgow has left town to attend the Newmar ket Spring Meeting. Lord and Lady Cottenham and the Hon. Misses Pepys have arrived at their new residence in Park-lane. MISCELLANEOUS. The centemplated retirement and promotion of naval officers, of which we have heard so much, will take place probably about August next. The number it will include, and the details of the measure, are not yet determined. Mr. Sturge has withdrawn from the British and Foreign School Society because it has accepted pecuniary assistance from the Government. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, APRIL 24.—The Mons Gazette says, " We have just learned that Mr. George Rinnes, the engineer to the Anglo-Belgian Company formed at London by the name of ' Company of the Railway of the Dendre and of the Canal from Jemappes to Alost,' arrived on Wednesday morning at Mons, and immediately pro ceeded to the line, accompanied by Mr. Dubois Nihon!, the author of the plan, and by Messrs. Tercelin, Sigart, and Brunneau, Directors of the Company. We are as sured that this able engineer will also visit our coal basin. It seems that the project of this canal will be shortly carried into effect." The following is the final result of the discussions of the Central Section of the Chamber of Representatives, appointed to examine the project of law relative to the duty on corn. No change is proposed with respect to barley, rye, and oats. As for wheat, when the average prices are between 15 and 20f. per hectolitre, the duty will be 37f. 50c. for the 1,000 kilogrammes (equal to 12i hectolitres). When the prices are from 20f. to 22f. the import duty will be reduced to 12f. 50c. When the prices are from 22f. to 24f. the duty will be only 3f. The number of markets for delivering the average will be increased to 22; the averages will be taken once in a fortnight. TRIESTZ, APRIL 17.—The Duke of Bordeaux and the Duchess of Angouleme arrived here yesterday. The Duchess proceeded in the steamer to Ancona, whence she means to go to Loretto. About the middle of next month the whole of the French corps will leave Goritz it is said, for ever. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BauswELs, APRIL Si. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent .....

The change of wind from the adverse quarter, in which it was so long almost stationary, has had the effect of bringing a large number of vessels of all descriptions and from every part of the globe into the port, which had been de. tained in the channel, and the docks and other places of commerce on the shores of the river now present a very bustling appearance, and full employ has been given to the large body of labourers con. netted with these establishments who were deprived of work for a very considerable period, and suffered a proportionate degree of privation in consequence. THE BUDE LIGHTS IN rRAFALGAR-SQUARE.--The massive bronze lamps, constructed at Stevens and Son's, Darlington Works, Southwark, under the direction of Mr. Barry, are corn. pleted, and will be erected without delay. They are four_ in num. ber ; the two at the southern angles to be mounted on granite pillars; the others, which are to be placed on the terrace, are wholly of gun metal. They are all plain and substantial, but the lamps by which they are to be crowned are deserving of notice. These are of great magnitude and ponderous weight; the glass alone in them amounting to about 12 cwt. They are octagonal in shape, the centre cqmprising square plates of cut flint-glass of un. usual clearness and solidity, the thickness within the bevel amount. ing to an inch ; and the crown and* base consisting each of sixteen triangular pieces of the same substance and density. The refrac. tion of light occasioned by these numerous varieties of surface, all highly polished, is likely to occasion a very brilliant effect; and in the event of another lamp being added, as proposed, to be placed between the fountains, some very novel appearances may perhaps be obtained, especially if the focus of either of the prisms should fall on the jets of water. LIEUT.-COL. CAMERON'S ADVENTURES. —Georgia and Circassia are the true countries of beauty and ro mance, and from being also the natural soil of " the true Caucasian variety " of our species, so enthusiasti cally referred to by the author of " oningsby," they may be said to possess attractions that should secure for any new work respecting them a most welcome recep tion. We are not therefore surprised at the interest ex cited by the volumes now published, under the title of "Adventures in Georgia, Circassia, and Russia," by Lieutenant-Colonel G. Poulett Cameron. A book of personal adventure is pretty sure to form pleasant read ing, but a narrative -of adventure amongst the gallant Circas inns, the handsome Georgians. and amongst the (':_obbilck. of tiao moat of Course 60 of an extremely entertaining character. There can be little question of the popularity of such a production. ~............_____ MONEY and COMMERCIAL NV P . (From The Sun of Last Night.)
