The Lords met at Five o'clock. In presenting a petition from the Protestant Dis senters of Birdrush, against the Government scheme of National Education, Lord BROUGHAM said that there was an unfounded prejudice raised against the measure, which was one of a most tolerant character to all sects of whatever religious persuasion. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE declared that nothing could be more unfounded than many of the statements contained in the petitions against the measure. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the High Sheriff and Grand Jury of the County of Tipperary, ex pressing their alarm at the unprecedented sale of fire-arms in Ireland, and praying their Lordships to pass a law to prevent evil-disposed persons from having fire-arms in their possession. The Noble Lord also presented petitions in favour of a gi - neral scheme of Irish rail ways; and a third, in favour of a general scheme of emigration. A desultory conversation ensued on the subject of emigration as a means of draining off the surplus popu lation of Ireland; in the course of which, Lord MONT EAGLI complained of the very inaccurate manner in which the census had been taken in Ireland. The subject then dropped, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Fou446opck. In answer to a question *bm Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, Mr. MILNER GIBSON said that the report which had last session ben presented to the House, as the report of the Select Committee on Railways, was merely the draft report drawn up by the Chairman (Mr. MORRISON). The Right Hon. Gentleman moved the re-appointment of the Committee, which was agreed to. In answer to various questions, Sir J. C. HonliousE stated that the Khelat prize money was in course of dis tribution ; that the Ghuznee prize money was about to be distributed ; and that the distribution of the Sinde prize money awaited the decision of the Board of Con trol, which would be given shortly. It was stated by Lord MORPETII, in reply to Mr. C. BERKELEY, that the Wellington statue was to be re moved. The aljourned debate on the motion for going into Committee on the Poor Relief Ireland Bill was then resumed by Sir W. CLAY. The House was subsequently addressed by Captain JONES, Mr. VILLIERS STEWART, who complained that his name had been attached to a resolution come to by certain Irish Members against the Government measures, without his authority ; Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, who said, if he could get a repeal of the Union, he would take it immediately ; Lord COUR TENAY, Sir DENHAM NORREYS, who was opposed to union rating ; Mr. VESEY, who denied that the land lords of Ireland had neglected their duty ; Lord J. MANNERS. Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. ROEBUCK, and seve ral other Hon. Mcmbers. The House then went into Committee pro forma, and ,he Bill was ordered to be re-committed on Friday next. The Drainage (Ireland) Bill was read a third time arid passed. The General Register House (Edinburgh) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The Mutiny Bill was also read a second time, and or dered to be committed on Thursday. The second reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was deferred till Friday. The Agricultural Tenants Right Bill, after a short discussion, was postponed till Friday week. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at One o'clock. A grievous impression appears to be prevalent that Government can and ought to do EVERYTHING for the starving multitudes of Ireland. The notion is alto gether absurd. Government has neither the power nor the moral obligation to give shelter and suste nance to the famishing million 3. Were it to under take anything so extravagantly beyond its capacities, the whole empire would become insolvent. Were it to take upon itself the task of feeding and clothing and employing one-half of the population of Ireland, the loud would be immeasurably beyond its strength —its back would be broken. The emergency is quite analogous to the insurrection recorded in Roman history, when the plebeians revolted,against the patri cian citizens, and were only reconciled to their lot as labourers by the cunning allegory of the Belly and its Members. 'Were a different course to be pursued by the Legislature than that of compelling the rela tive portions of the body corporate to support each _ . other, that body corporate would either be distorted i►►to an ailing deformity or would perish. The reasoning is obvious. Without a symmetrical diTo tion of the various parts of any production, whether _ . natural or artificial, health, and power, and comeliness, and a good organization are impossible. Supposing the Government yielded to the demands of a clamourous and selfish minority, what would be the inevitable consequence ? Why the whole vigour of the consti tution would be sapped in appeasing the wants of a famishing peasantry and pampering the vices of an indolent proprietary. Ireland would no longer be the Ministerial difficulty—it would be the Ministerial damnation. The object of the Irish representatives and Peers, who remonstrated with Lord JOUN RUSSELL upon the impolicy and impracticability of his Po. .r Relief (Ireland) Bill, is to transform the tenantry of Ireland into perpetual pensioners on the Exchequer, or to obtain the consent of the Govern ment to a system of inaction, whereby the peasantry would be rapidly and conveniently thinned in num bers from the combined influences of famine and pesti lence. Criminal beyond all possibility of utterance as are these endeavours, their criminality is immeasurably surpassed by their foolish ness. Let the men who would thus strive to debar 3,500,000 of their fellow-countrymen from all chances of assistance upon the occasion of their direst necessity, let these men remember that for every able-bodied labourer that dies through their neglect would perish a portion of the national vigour —fur every child, a germ of the future prosperity of the kingdom—for every woman, a guarantee for the so , . brie ty or the domesticity of the industrial classes. Hence it is that a systematic emigration is altogether inde fensible. Hence it is that the preservation of human life is more desirable than the reclamation of a given portion of land from the ocean, or the transformation of moorland into arable land, or the clothing of rocks with turf for pasturage. Hence, in fine, is it among the most solemn admonitions of Christianity that the poverty-stricken should be cherished, that the naked should be clothed, that the hungry should be fed. In the language of the fine old Latin chaunt, there is recompense as well as benignity in raising the poor from the dunghill—de stercure erigens pauperem. During the adjourned discussion upon the poor laws for Ireland, Lord JOHN MANNERS intimated that by rendering Irish property answerable for Irish po verty, according to the Government system, the pro perty would be either "depressed or annihilated," and that therefore he was disposed to offer the mea sure his earnest opposition. Shallow logic, Lord JOHN ! What, must the poverty of the peasant be do- 4 , •r,• ' • • Apt .04 .7j,e 01 -k\ . • THE SUN, LONDON, USDA' EVENING S MARCH l6 , 1641, need all Assistance from the property of the landlord, because, forsooth, it would be injurious to the imme diate interests of the latter ? That is apply ing to the Irish proprietary the principle which Lord BYRON has christened "regal blasphemy"— it is giving them the fee simple of their es tates by " right divine." Now we have seen the medallion—let us look at the intaglio. The favourite aphorism of COWPER, that " GOD made the country and man made the town," is not one jot more truthful than that the landlords are only the trustees of the tenantry, inasmuch as the produce of the land is the property of the people. In periods of pros perity the peasantry is nourished by the wages re ceived for the cultivation of the soil, and the surplus capital realised directly by the crops, or indirectly by the crops through the rental, is ensured by the State to the landlord, as a recompense for the faithful dis charge of his duties as a guardian of the poor, as a promoter of local industry, and as a representative and agent of the Government in a certain divi sion of the empire. Whenever a proprietor fails in the performance of the duties enjoined upon him by this tacit compact , his right of possession has virtually evaporated. It is a sacred part of this mutual agreement, that in moments when the tenantry and peasantry are reduced to a state of pauperism by the accidents of vegetation, that ' they shall receive from the surplus coming to the landlord a modicum sufficient to prevent their death by inanition. And the poor-law is the in strument by which this principle is enforced. Now, in the present destitution of Ireland, Government has generously relieved the proprietary from the first onus of the duty of succouring the population. After a certain time of preparation has elapsed the Legisla ture is called upon by the Ministry to stimulate the memories of the Irish landlords to a recollection of the conditions upon which alone they are entrusted with the land—to compel them, in short, to fulfil one of the foremost and most rational and most necessary of those conditions. At this announcement the Irish proprietary are indignant—qiy are altogether averse to the system of givihg relief to able bodied labourers. This remonstrance has not even the credit of being enunciated adcaptandum vu/gus. In a great trading community there is nothing of more vital importance to the public generally than that due and fitting provisions should be made with regard to the manner in which payment of debts may be enforced, so that every facility should be given to creditors to compel those who have the ability, but not the will, to liquidate their responsibilities, while, on the other hand, every assistance should be afforded, and indulgence given, to the honest but unfortunate debtor, who is willing to surrender all his property for distribution amongst those who have just and equitable claims upon him, and who has not been guilty of any fraud or unfair dealing in the manner in which his debts were contracted. It is really asto nishing that matters should so long have been con ducted on false principles in England, essentially a commercial nation ; and even to this day the entire bankrupt and insolvent code is susceptible of vast improvements, which, if adapted, would prove equally beneficial to all parties —as well to the cre ditor as to the eebtor. Much has already been effected, but much remains still to be done. Every step that has been taken of late years has been in the right direction, the errors and mistakes Of former years have had remedies gradually applied, and we may hope speedily to see the law of debtor and creditor brought to as great a state of perfection as can be hoped ler in any merely human code. It is, perhaps, well that the ameliorations in the law have been brought forward with such precautions as not to shock the prejudices of any whose interests were involved. it would be next to impossible at once to build up a system that would suit every interest. Even were it desirable in itself, it would prove in jurious if the public mind was not duly prepared for its reception. "Festina lente" is a maxim that must continually be borne in mind by legal reformers ; and in no department of the law must greater caution be used in effecting changes than in that to which we are alluding. The test of experience must be applied to the mode of wos king of every former provision. Its advantages and abuses must be fully weighed and maturely considered before any change is proposed. The opinions of those who, from their positions, are competent to form a correct judgment on the proposed alterations, must he taken as to the defects and defi ciencies of the new enactments, and the probability of "their working well, so as practically to attain the desired object. The new measure introduced by Lord BROUGHAM to the House of Lords, and which received its first reading on Thursday last, appears to have had every possible care and precaution bestowed upon it. It has been substituted for the former mea sure of that Noble and Learned Lord, who very pro perly sent a copy thereof to every Commissioner in the country, and embodied in the present Bill the several alterations suggested by those learned gentlemen. Lord BROUGHAM has long held a prominent posi tion among legal reformers, and entitled himself to the marked thanks of the community for the great and beneficial changes he has effected, but in no re spect has he merited greater approbation than in the present instance. The present Bill abolishes the jurisdiction given to the Court of Baiikruptcy and the district courts in insolvency, under the sth and 6th Vic., cap. 116, and 7th and Bth Vic., cap. 96, and transfers that juris diction to the Insolvent Debtors' Court and the judges appointed under the Small Debts Act of last session, but that jurisdiction is to remain in force as to petitions now depending. From the time of the passing of the Act all persons who shall have resided in any of the metropolitan counties—Middlesex, Hertford, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, or Essex—for six calendar months, are to be within the jurisdiction of the Insolvent Court, and, in other cases, of the judge of the Small Debts Court within whose district the insolvent shall have re sided for a like time. It is not stated within what period previous to the filing of the peti tion that residence must have been, but it is plam that the party must have been resident for six calen dar months within the district before his petition can be entertained. The Acts now about to be amended required residence for twelve months immediately preceding the petition. The chief feature in the new measure is, that every insolvent, whether possessed of any property or otherwise, who has resided within the jurisdiction for the period aforesaid, may file his petition, and the court or such judge is thereupon entitled forthwith to grant him an ifs terim order protecting him from arrest ; or if he should be in custody at the time in execution, to order his discharge on receiving an undertaking in writing from the insolvent to attend the court on the day appointed for his first examination, and on every sitting day held in the matter of his petition, or at any other time when - required by the court or judge so to do ; and every wilful breach of such undertaking is to be a misdemeanour, punishable by impri sonment, with or without hard labour. The court or judge may at any time suspend or withdraw this protection and ::gain renew or suspend it at their or his pleasure. This is a just and humane provi sion, and prevents the possibility of any person being imprisoned to gratify the malevolence of a vindictive creditor, unless his conduct shall appear to the satis faction of the court to be worthy of punishment. Our space prevents us from concluding our obser vations this day. We shall resume the subject to morrow. We published on Saturday, in extenso, a letter upon the Government Education scheme, written by Mr. ROBERT ECKETT, and addressed by him, on behalf of the Committee of Privileges, to ministers of the Wesleyan Association ; also the form of petition recommended to be numerously signed by every con gregation over which they presided; and likewise the letter of Dr. KAY SIIIITTLEWORTII to Mr. ECKETT, penned with the view of convincing this gentleman and the Committee of Privileges that the opinion they had formed of the nature of the plan and of the intentions of the Government in respect to education was completely erroneous. It is impos sible to suppose that any acting body of so influential and highly respectable a class of religionists as the Wesleyans could condescend to misrepresentation; but the documents before us afford a striking instance of how men's judgments may become perverted by looking at anything through a false medium. In the present case, the bite noir of the Wesleyans has been Government interference and patronage in matters ecclesiastical or educational ; and so strong a hold ha the apprehension of such a result taken of their minds, as apparently to have disabled them from dis passionately and calmly deliberating upon any scheme that might be propounded for the intellectual culture of the people. Who on earth could form a fair opinion of the Government scheme from the repre sentation that "it will most extensively and dan gerously increase the patronage and power of the Government and of the clergy of the Established Church, by making the instructors of the masses of the youthful population dependent upon the Govern ment for stipends, premiums, and pensions, and on the clergy of the Establishment for certificates of satisfactory conduct to enable them to obtain such payments ?" Yet such is the actual description given of the plan in the body of the petition, which nume rous congregation are to be invited to sign. The description is erroneous in every particular. This is rendered manifest in the able, temperate, and con clusive letter of Dr. SHUTTLEWORTH, who establishes that the proceedings of the Committee of Council on Education have been strictly in keeping with the principles and remarks which we put forward on this subject on Friday last. The letter of Dr. SHUTTLE WORTH comes most seasonably before the public. It will serve to disarm suspicion and dissipate error. It will prove that, by the plan proposed, civil and re ligious liberty will not be " insidiously assailed," and that it is not to be apprehended that "the principles of bi gotry and hostility against all classes of Dissenters, and of slavish subserviency to every measure of Govern ment or of the State Church, will be strongly incul cated on the ris . ng generation." What is the hinge upon which the hostility of the Rev. Mr. ECRETT to the educational scheme turns ? As he alleges, it is this —before making any grants to Dissenting schools, Government insist upon appointing an inspector, who shall be approved of by an archbishop. But Govern ment not only do no such thing, but never have done it. In ChurZA of England schools, and in them only, the approval of an archbishop to the inspector has been rendered requisite to their nomination. All the other inspectors have been elected without clerical sanction, and they never interfere (unless especially invited) in religious matters where the establishments they visit differ either in doctrine or form from the Church of the State. It is by their scrupulous adherence to the maintenance of this principle of non-interference that the Council of Education have secured to themselves so large a share of public confidence. The premiums, pensions, &c., will be equally open to all classes; and we hope the Wesleyans and other sects will avail themselves of the advantage of the proposed system. There can be nothing objectionable in public patronage, humble as it will be in its character, being bestowed upon those who do justice to the education for which the public funds are being liberally allocated. The Nuremburg Correspondent publishes a letter from Munich, of the Bth inst., which states, that on the preceding night the King of BAVARIA visited the theatre, where he was received with the most en thusiastic applause. His MAJESTY appeared to be much affected at this demonstration. It is said that the KING has given orders to his representative at the Germanic Diet to support the representatives of Wurtemburg and Baden in their applications to extend the liberty of the press in Germany. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 10th, and from Oporto to the 11th inst., by the Pe ninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Montrose. SALDANHA still continues at Oliveira de Azemis, four leagues from Oporto. PovoAs, the Miguelite Gene ral, has arrived at Oporto, and has been received in the most distinguished manner by DAs ANTAS and SA DA BANDEIRA. On the 25th ult. DAs ANTAS reviewed the garrison of Oporto, amounting to 6,000 men. The blockade of the Douro is strictly enforced. The English merchant• ships, the Emma Graham, the Laura, the Lusitania, and the Wilberforce, all freighted with wine, were captured by the brig of war Sera di Polar, and sent to Lisbon for adjudica tion. It is, however, said that they are not lawful prizes, as no information of the final and efficient blockade had been transmitted to the Consul at Oporto. The QUEEN'S troops on the 26th ultimo captured Almeida, which surrendered on terms without firing a shot. The only force in the town was the movable battalion of Almeida. The capture of Almeida frees the district of Guarda from insurgents. A meeting of the shareholders in the Bank of Portugal was held at Lisbon on the 9th, and the following resolutions were adopted 1. That the Bank will cancel 50 contos per month of its notes, on condition that Government pay a monthly sum of 39 contos by way of liquidating its debt with the Bank. "2.

There still remains to be obtained a quantity of foreign corn, equal to seventeen days' consumption, or 340,000 tons, to provide for the food of the people until the next harvest. The following observations from a letter, addressed by the Mayor of Rennes to the Echo Agricole, are worthy the attention of those who find fault with our own Government for not in terfering with the corn trade :—" It is no doubt praiseworthy," says this letter, " for the authorities of a town or district to associate and advance money to purchase and import foreign corn to keep down the markets, but, unfortunately, such measures pro duce alarm and consequent hoarding, and thus defeat the intended object." Queen CHRISTINA has arrived in Paris. We find the following in the Union Monarchique : " We are assured tha, Count Beeson, who is at present in Paris, has declared to the Government that he is firmly re solved not to return to Madrid. The repented requests of M. Guizot, and even 01 a still more influential person, have not succeeded in overcoming Count bressoit's determination. This resolution causes at this moment the more embarrass ment to the Government, as Count Bresson insists on the performance of the promise formerly made to him of the embassy to Rome or to Vienna." The Funds remained stationary in Paris on Sunday. The attendance of wtteculators at the Passage de 1 9 0pera was im mense, but so nicely balanced were hopes and fears that none ventured on a sale or a purchase. The Three per Cents., 77f. 70c.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CIIANCHLLOR of ENGLAND.) BIRCH V. JAY. The arguments in this cause were resumed to .day. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) HUMBLE V. SHORE. This case turned upon the construction of a will, the tes tatrix divided her estate into six parts, one of which she lett to Sarah Whittaker; but by.a codicil to her will she re voked this legacy, and the question at issue was as to its disposition. His HONOUR delivered judgment to-day, and decided that the intention of the testatrix, though the will was ambigu ously worded, was that this sixth of her estate should be given to the other legatees. He was also of opinion that the tenant for life was not entitled to any interest during the first year. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Edward Bunney, landlord of the Fitzroy Arms, Clipstone street, was placed in the duck before Mr. Bingham, charged, with violently assaulting Bennet Endean, on the 10th inst., by striking him on the head with a mallet, whereby his life is despaired of. _ It appeared that, in consequence of information received on the previous afternoon, from Sergeant Park, of the E division, that a man was in the Middlesex Hospital, who had been taken there on Wednesday last, in a very precarious state, from injuries inflicted by his master, Mr. Bingham, accompanied by the second clerk, and Smith, the usher, proceeded to the above hospital, to take the injured man's depositions, who stated that his name was Bennet Endear) ' and that he was potmau in the employ of the pri soner. On IVednesday last deponent was in the tap-room, between three and four o'clock iti the afternoon. The pri soner came in, and told him that he had taken too much drink, and cautioned him against drinking with the men. Deponent said he had not been drinking, and followed the prisoner to the bar, and asked him to pay him his wages, and he would leave. The prisoner refused to do so, and after a few words, he took up a wooden mallet, and struck him a violent blow on the head. He recollected nothing further. Police-constable, 105 E, stated that between three and four o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday last he was on duty in Clipstone-street, when a person met him, and informed him that the prisoner had struck his potboy on the head with a mallet. lie proceeded to the Fitzroy Arms, and saw the potman in the front of the bar, bleeding from a severe wound in the head. Dr. Weeks came, and after dressing his head, recommended his immediate removal to the hospital, where he now remains in a very precarious state. Police-constable, E 111, said he was on duty in Clipstone street, The prisoner, on his informing him that he must consider himself in custody, replied that he was very sorry indeed for what he bad done. He then took him to the sta tion. He produced the surgeon's certificate, which stated that " Bennet Endean was suffering from erysipelas, in con sequence of a severe wound in the head, and at present was in a dangerous state." Mr. fownst.nd, the prisoner's solicitor, applied to have the prisoner admitted to bail, but Mr. BINGHAM said, that at present the charge bore too serious au aspect to do that. He should therefore remand him for a week. PROTEST of POLISH EMIGRANTS AGAINST THE TREATY OF VIENNA. We have received a communication from Mr. V. 0. Zienkiewicz, the chairman, and Mr. J. Wellman, the secretary of a public meeting of Polish emigrants, held on the 6th of March, at 41, King-street, Snow-hill, ut which the Pol e s present, lest their silence should be construed into an acquiescence in the views adopted IV some of the speakers at the meeting at Freemasons ' Hall (viz., that the treaty of Vienna was binding on Poland), came to the following resolutions:— "1. That the Vienna compact in 1815, and its stipulations, were entered into without the consent of Poland, against its wish, will, and imprescriptible rights. " 2. That the compact of Vienna sanctioned the immoral and, violent dismemberments of Poland in 1773, 1793, 1795, perpetrated without the consent of Great Britain and Ireland. "3. That this Vienna treaty established the hereditary and Muscovite dynasty in Poland. " 4. That this iniquitous compact stigmatises as a rebel lion, as a state crime, all the efforts of the Poles to regain ancient, entire, and independent Poland. The Poles against these and other immoralities and violations of their innate and imprescriptible rights, sanctioned by the Vienna treaty, have protested, and shall ever protest, not only by words, but by their deeds and their blood." These resolutions, it is stated, were come to with all due deference to the honourable speakers and friends of Poland who attended the meeting held at the Free masons' Tavern, and with an expression of heartfelt gratitude for their zeal, solicitude, and good wishes for Poland. The emigrants thus assembled repudiate all connexion with the " Committee of Poles residing in England," which committee does not represent their feelings or wishes. „ DON'T YOU REMEMBER?” (From the Dispatch.) Oh ! these are the words that eternally utter The spell that is seldom cast o'er us iv vain ; With the wings and the wand of a fairy they flutter, And draw a charmed circle about us again. We return to the spot where our Infancy gamboll'd ; We linger once more in the haunts cf our Youth : We re-tread where young Passion first stealthily rambled, And whispers are heard full of Nature and Truth, Saying, "Don't you remember ?" We treasure the picture where Colour seems breathing In lineaments mocking a long-worshipp'd face; We are proud of some tress in a chain of close wreathing, And gold-links of Ophir are poor in its place. Oh ! what is the secret that giveth them power To fling out a star on our darkest of ways ? 'Tis the tone of Affection—Life's holieit power— That murmurs about them and blisfully says "Don't you remember?" The'voice of Old Age, while it tells some old story, Exults o'er the tale with fresh warmth in the breast; As the haze of the twilight e'er deepens the glory Of beams that are fast going down in the west. When the friends of our Boyhood are gathered around us, 7 The spirit retraces its wild flower track; The heart is still held by the strings that first bound us And Feeling keeps singing, while wandering back, " Don't you remember? " When those whom we prized have departed for ever, Yet perfume is shed o'er the cypress we twine; Yet fond Recollection refuses to sever, And turns to the Past, like a saint to the shrine. Praise carved on the marble is often deceiving, The gaze of the stranger is all it may claim ; But the strongest of love and the purest of grieving Are heard when lips dwell on the missing one's name, Saying, " Dont you remember!' ELIZA COOK. ACCIDENT TO Mtt. WAonoaN.—This indefatigable traveller, while crossing the Alps with Mr. Austin, the en gineer and surveyor, was upset in his carriage. An ava lauche had fallen across the road, which had been cleared away only from half the breadth of the road. It being night, the postillion did not see it, and he drove one wheel tfp the slope of the bank, and overturned the carriage. Neither Mr. Waghorn or his companion were, however, in the smallest degree hurt. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The mcrriage of the Viscount Ebrington with the Honourable Miss Dawson Darner was solemuized on Thursday last, at Came House, Dorset, in the presence of Prince Louis Napoleon, and a select family circle. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT OSBORNE HOUSE.—The man Blake, who was so severely injured by the accident at Osborne House on Thursday, has since died from the injuries he received. VISIT OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT TO GERMANY, &C. —The Duchess of Kent _is expected to leave England early in the spring (probably shortly after Easter) tor the Conti nent, proceeding first to Brussels, upou a visit to her brother, the King of the Belgians, and thence to Germany, to pay a visit of two or three months' duration to her Royal High ness's relations at Saxe Coburg and Saxe Gotha, and in some other of the German States, previously to returning to England. It is stated that her Royal Highness will probably take Paris en route to this country from Germany, and will be the guest of LouisXhilippe, at the Tuileries, during her short stay in the French capital. 'ihe Council of the British Archa3ological Associa tion, at a meeting held on Wednesday, Sir W. Chatterton Bart., Vice-President, in the chair, decided upon holding the fourth annual Congress at Warwick during the last week in July. CANTERBURY ELECTION.—The election of a MRIII• r of Parliament for the city of Canterbury took place yesterday. Lord Albert Conyngham being unopposed, was returned. His Lordship was proposed by Mr. Alderman Brent, and seconded by Mr. Alderman Neame. HERTFORD AND HITCHIN RAILWAY.--A public meeting of the inhabitants of llertford, called by the mayor, in compliance with a requisition which was signed by most of the resnectable inhabitants of the borough, was'_held at the Town Hall, on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of consider ing a petition to Parliament, in favour of the line of railway w hi c h i s projected by the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany, from Hertford to Hitchin. A . petition in favou r of th e direct line from Hertford to Hitchin was unanimously adopted, and the buainebil closed. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. - : A curious scene took place in the Chamber of Deputies during the course of the debate on Satur day. The Mi n i s t er o f Finance presented a Bill for legalising the contract entered into between the Go vernment and Messrs. Hssoux and HUNDEL, for the establishment of a steam-packet service between Havre and New York. The Minister proceeded to read the contract entered into between " His Excel lency the Minister of Finance and Messrs. HERoux and HUNDEL." The word " Excellency " roused the ire of the Republican party of the Chamber. Up rose M. GLASS BIZOIN. " I have an observation of some importance," said this Hon. Deputy, "to ad dress to the Chamber. I find in the preamble of the agreement entered into with HEROUX and HUNDEL a word that could only have crept in through inadver tence on the part of the Minister of Finance. In this preamble I read these words : 'Between his Ex cellency the Minister of Finance.' Well! Since 183 0 we have had no Excellencies."—(A laugh.) Hereupo n severa l vo i ces e xclaimed, " The title of Monseigneur h as a lone been suppressed ;" whereupon M. GLA IS BIZOIN rejoined, "There are only Minis_ ters.— (Agitation.) I hope that no one here will attempt to restore the word Excellency to the Par- liamentary vocabulary." The Minister declared that the word had been used by his predecessors, and that he would continue its use ; whereupon M. LHER BETTE said, " I formally demand the omis , ,ion of the word, not because it is a word of insignificance in itself, but because the use of such a word has a tendency to revive the usages of a former regime. Recollect that contemporaneously with the use of this expression we find our Ambassadors making use of a new sort of language. They no longer speak of the monarch, but of their master. Considering him also as their sole master, they invariably sink the word `national,' and in all cases re-establish the word 'royal.' On every occasion they - revive these ancient symbols." This speech of M. LUERBETTE produced such a scene of agitation that the debate was ulti mately adjourned. There cannot, however, be MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THPEE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 3,000 bales, including 500 for export. The market con tinued dull and heavy, with vary little change, though prices tended downwards. The sales included 600 Pernams and Maranhams at 7d. to 7.y., 50 Bahia at 7d. to 7 1 4(1.. 50 Sea Bland at 134 d. to 174 d., and 2,300 American at 6d. to 7Ad. per lb. Railway Shares were quiet and flat in price generally. Accounts from Belgium state that a very patriotic propo sition had been made by a merchant cf Bruges, viz., to ab stain entirely from speculations in grain, and to make no purchases excepting in foreign markets. Several parties had already acquiesced, and a bond was to be signed, by which a penalty of 100 francs was to be incurred in every case where the parties bought home-grown corn. The object, of course, is to leave the market to the unre stricted influence of supply and demand, and to keep prices at a moderate level, which would be the case probably were the dealings direct between the grower and the consumer. Imports of foreign grain are the legitimate province of the merchant, and as an importer he confers a direct benefit on his country, while the mere speculator for a rise aggravates the necessities of the poor. An oruinance of King Leopold provides for the admission into Belgium, duty free, of salted and cured mews. The Exchange trom Ilamburgli comes rather higher under date of Friday last, viz., 13 334 for three months' bills on London. The price of gold was 432. In the recent accounts from New Orleans we are furnished with certain particulars which convey a good idea of the ex tensive employment of shipping in the Mexican war. One party writes— " The quartermaster's department still are taking up more vessels, and we learn that there are now b u t s i x or e i g h t un engaged American ships in port. The Government have at present at least 20,000 to 25,000 tons of merchant vessels in their employ, which have been chartered in this port, within a few weeks. The rates at which they have been engaged will average from ten to twelve dollars per ton per month, which is a profitable employment for the vessels, but under the present rates and prospects for ft eights to Europe, not only here, but also in all the other ports of the United States, they could not have been obtained on more favourable terms. At Mobile we understand, there is not a single unengaged vessel. The withdrawal of so large a quantity of tonnage from the regular employment, will naturally tend to advance freights, and to keep them up during the season, and we are among those who sincerely rejoice that our shipowners Lave the prospect of one good business season, after so, many of de pression and loss to that important interest. The present expenditure of the Government, for the hire of vessels, in cluding steam- boats, cannot be less than 5 to 600,000 dolls. per month, as in addition to those chartered here, there are a great number at other ports, carrying troops and supplies to the seat of war." There is quite an exhilarating appearance in the English Stock Market to-day, and the Bears have been buying in accounts,.although there is an occasional reaction.
