There is a vast distinction between the principle of the measure introduced by Lord G. BENTINCIE, for the a d vance of _ 16,000,00 u sterl ing, amounting to no less than instalments of 4,000,0001. per annum, t o be b y distributed indiscriminately to ail the railways in Ireland, io proportion of two part s from the State for one provided the companies, and which was deservedly rejeetedbbidan overwhelming brought majority ; and that which was on F riday ni ght Exchequer, compaerimer,.for the forward by the Chancellor of g,t.that loan of 620 ; 0001. to three railway country, (in sums of 500,0001., 83,000 t, and respectivels), v• hich are already in progress of co : . 8 truction, and which, in two of the three cases, have a portion of their lines now open and in daily use , with an average traffic yielding returns sufficient to afford ample security for the sums they are about to borrow, and which was sanctioned .by an equally clear and decisive majority. The first proposition, if carried, would introduce a new precedent, would impose new duties on the Government ; give enor mous advantages to speculators in Irish railways; deteriorate the property of those who had made in vestments in similar works in this country, and prove a weighty drain oil the finances of the country. The second proposition, which has been approved of, is merely an extension of a principle that has long been recognised, and the results of which have proved bighlybeneficial to the country. In fact, it is placing an additional SUM attbe disposal of the Public Works Loan Commissioners, a body many years constituted, add who, if they had had sufficient funds at their disposal for the purpose, would have themselves made the advance without any a pplication to the L , -gislature. Ar, the Right Honourable Baronet said, " thcre is, indeed, a wide difference between the Government wear i ng as mo ney lenders in the market, and their advancing a sum to the Commissioners in addition to the amount annually placed at their disposal by Par liament, for the purpose of enabling them to make loans for the construction of approved works of this description." No injury is done to any other class of speculators. If the undertaking in which they are interested requires assistance so urgently, that unless that aid is granted its progress must be stayed— if its immediate completion is calculated to prove so advantageous to the- kingdom in general, to effect such public benefits, and if, above all, the par ties seeking aid can show such ample security for its repayment, the Commissioners will be ready to re ceive their applications, and to make the advances, if they have it in their power, and, if not, a new appli cation may be made to Parliament to enable them to do so ; and if similar advantages can be shown to follow therefrom, we doubt not that a similar sanction will be given to the advance. Each case must stand or fall by its own intrinsic merits. Again, there is no additional charge on the Exche quer occasioned thereby. It is simply a different mode of application of a sum that was intended to be devoted to the relief of Irish distress, to the promo- tion of Irish industry, and the development of Irish resources. In place of being expended in the recla mation of waste lands, it is to be applied, together with an equal sum provided by the companies, in the actual construction of earth-works and brick-works on the lines by instalments, the second instalment not to be paid until full proof is afforded that the first and a similar sum paid by the company is properly expended. The debate was in many respects a very satisfac tory one. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, although he admitted the grave aspect of affairs, and that the panic that had set in was not utterly and altogether without foundation, gave his decided opinion " that the apprehensions went far beyond any measure of caution or prudence." Ile Announced also a decided improvement in the condition of the Bank of England; that her returns showed a diminution of her liabilities and an increase in her securities, and that he had that morning heard from the Go vernor that the Bank had on two days during the last week been enabled to give additional facilities to the money market ; so that he felt himself justified in announcing that the extreme pressure of the last fortnight might be said to be at an end. This is, in deed, a consolatory statement, coming from such a quarter, and we doubt not its good effects will be manifested in an universal activity in commercial affairs. The Bill for the reclamation of the waste lands has been postponed for the present. We regret this ne cessity ; we believe that there is no single measure so well calculated to benefit our sister kingdom, or which would yield a more ample return for the ne cessary outlay. The Government, however, decided to abandon the compulsory clauses of the Bill, and in doing so abandoned a great portion of that which made it practically available in the parts of the country where its operation would be most useful. They found great difficulty in framing a Bill that could be made to work efficiently this year, and they consequentlF gave it up, we trust, only, for the present session. One-half of the million intended to be applied to that purpose has been added to the fund for the improvement of landed estates in Ireland. The remaining 500,000/. remains available for the purposes of relief works, or any other mode of encouraging private enterprise in that country. The reduction of the number of persons em ployed on the public works from 734.000, the number employed in the month of March, to 284,000, or little more than one-third of the number, so occupied after Saturday last, is also satis factory. A sum of 40,0001., part of the sum of 50,0001. last year voted for the promotion of useful works in Ireland, is to be applied to the carrying out the Fishery Piers' Act of last session. The question how far the Bank Charter c 1844 had really answered the objects for which t was intended was incidentally discussed. Our %lc:ions on this subject have been ch ally and distin - :ty . eKnressed ; we are convinced that until a thorough change is effected the industry of the country will Le liable to become para,ysed, and its commercial operations checked and i.: . peded. Every discussion on the sub ject must he useful, and tend to the advancement of truth and the exposure of the faults of the present system. In our remarks of Friday upon Mr. llumE's mo tion, relative to naval architecture, we objected to the sweeping nature of the condemnation passed by Mr. HUME and others upon the expenditure we have in curred in endeavouring to improve eur system of ship-building; and we indicated that where reasonable experiments lvive and ought to be made, with the view of rendering our ships of war more efficient for their every purpose, it is puerile to denounce the ,x penses thus incurred as " wasteful," seeing it is in the nature or things, and indeed is implied in the word " experiment" itself, that the results are consi dered doubtful until the necessary trials have been completed. We sbiwed also, that in considering the amount of money spent in the prosecution of different experiments, vie should not only place on the credit side certain bniefits which have undoubtedly been obtained, but likewise the advantages derivable from the negative knowledge which ti 'e may be said to have acquired at the same time. Upon the other hand, it is manifest from what has transpired, that a sufficient regard to economy, under this important head of national expenditure, has not been observedby former administrations,of which the presentßoardof Admiralty evidenced their conviction by appointing a Committee of Reference. In forming this Committee, composed of some of the most eminent members of the late School of Naval Architecture, the object of the Admi ralty was and is, by a preliminary investigation, con ducted by scientific men, into the merits of every new plan, to impose a check upon the late expensive system of ship-building. The benefit to accrue to the public from the services of this Committee re mains to be seen. It is evidently a move in the right direction. It imposes a species of control upon the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. Srmorips, against whose excessive influence in the construction of our ships for the last fifteen years the public has heard so much. A dead set was made at this public officer by Mr. Hume and others in the recent debate, an attack in which Sir C. NAritst himself most honourably refused to participate. The gallant Commodore re pudiated the personal character which was infused by many into the discussion, and confined his stric tures to the system which has hitherto regulated the building of our men-of-war. There certainly are very discordant opinions as to the merits of some of the ships which have been built from the lines drawn by Sir W. SYMONDS. Upon a review of the different facts elicited we may deduce, first, that in the construction of ships of the smaller class Sir W. SYMONDS may be said to have gained an almost unanimous approval, whilst in that of the larger his success is very equivocal; and we think it not impro bable that his failures may be in a great measure ttttributable to his having been indifferent to the advice tendered to him years ago by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, to whom he was indebted for his appoint ment. The Right Hon. Baronet gave the purport of that advice on Thursday night in the following words person s: introducing a new theory under such circum a,tanees as those to which be was alluding was under the ?indyan!.age or being difficult to be convinced of any faults there e . which might appear in carrying it out, and he therefore ad ',l.%!tei(gtiZuScimoncl.s to apply his attention to the objections from the adoption t o l f to remove an wisdom to . but . ships, for .he was satisfied that !ervati „ n . , '" a u s c n ttien tu in giving consideration to such ob- I, disadvantages result ingshuch theory."

But re , to this ex ception is of the gravest character, for, from the manner in which they are represented to roll and pitch under the above circumstances, it is clear that we should at times be liable to engage an enemy under great disadvantages, from our being unable to fire with precision, or to keep the lower ports open. This seems to be the chief, TER SUN, LONDON, IvIONDAYMORNING, MAY 3, 184?. defect alleged against the Surveyor's ships by Sir C. NArIER, and it certainly is one from which every effort should be made to free our present and future men-of-wart The question of stowage, though of considerable importance, is not now-a-days so much so as it v as formerly, seeing that, by the introduction of steam, the supplies to cur squadrons can be furnished with a speed and accuracy unknown to our ances tors. Vessels built of iron are excellent for packet service. Their bottoms, liable to become fouled, are easily cleared in tidal harbours, but with iron war-steamers the case is different; they are constantly requiring to be docked. Again, in action, iron steamers are easily destroyed, which, both in point of safety, expense, and e'pecially fur the great end of all, victory, renders the substitution of iron for world far less efficient for warlike pur poses, and exceedingly dangerous. We cannot con clude these remarks without suggesting whether, considering the extent of the duties incidental to the office of the Surveyor to the Navy, the prejudices which every man is liable to entertain in favour of his own system, and the jealousies, heartburnings, and misgivings to which their almost inevitable indulgence naturally gives rise, the Surveyor should not be prohibited from submitting any drawings of his own for the building of ships and vessels. With this restriction he would be enabled to take a more impartial view of the merits of the different plans of competing architects, and being thus, to a certain extent, practically divested of prejudice, he might be found a more valuable assistant to the Lords of the Admiralty, on whose fiat alone the construction of ships should continue, as now, to be ultimately de pendent.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 23.—The c ,,riespondent who lately represen t e d the visit of the E m p eror Nicholas to France as probable, inform s us to-da y that this visit will not take place at present. A contract, dated April 3, has been concluded for a line of sailing vessels between the ports of Antwerp, Galati, and Odessa,* between the Minister of' Foreign Affairs and Mr. Frederick Harkort. The contrant is from the year 1847 to 1851 inclusive. Oe the 21st of April the prices of corn in the market of Lisle continued to rise. This rise has been 2f. 6c. in the course of one week. The hectolitre of the finest a hest was 421. 72e. • We learn from the Journal du Commerce d' Anvers that the Minister of Finance has given orders, dated the 14th April, to the Custom-house, with necessary directions, to prevent the importation or trade in the port of Antwerp under the name of Molasses and at the duty to . which that article is liable by the tariff. BRUSSELS, APRIL 27.—The average price of wheat in the ~seek ending on Saturday, April 24, was 391'. 98e., .end that of rye 29f. 21c. per hectolitre. Thee prices are cotedderably above those of 14,t vv, elc, namely, 31. 14,-. on, wheat. and of 27c. on rye. BATAVIA.—We have news from Batavia of the Ist Mai•ch, which is not very interesting. The Governor- Geitral of India hos taken measures for the execution the articles of the treaty concluded on the 29th July with Belgium relative to the exportation of 4,000 lasts of colonial produce. A letter from Singapore, dated March Bth, praises in the highest terms the efforts of the Dutch Government in favour of a more liberal colonial system, as well as of the enlightened views of the Governor-General of Dutch India, who it is hoped will open the Molucca Islands also to the trade of all nations. The authorities of Java and Singapore are on the most friendly terms, and a com mission from itlacassar had arrived at Singapore to ar range several points relative to trade. The Journal de Lisle says, the accounts from the markets all announce a decline in the prices within these ten days—wheat has fallen everywhere on an average from 2f. to 61. per hectolitre. We were yesterday informed that the prices are more favourable to the seller. . THE HAGUE, APRIL 27.—We have received, by the overland mail, Java papers up to the let March. BATAVIA, FEB. 19.—During the afternoon his Ma jesty's steamer, the. Merapi, arrived in the Roads of Batavia, having left Singapore on the 15th, and brought the letters and parcels destined for this port by the European overland mail, which left London on the 24th December. The arrival of the mail was delayed in consequence of the Lady Mary Hood, British steamer, which brings it from Ceylon to Singapore, furtherando to China, having been surprised in the Gulphb wb;ch gal b) very stormy weather and a high f sea, Ceylon }. to it required eleven days for the voyage Penang, which is usually . performed in 13_7 r e o o m r l4ohrs. on the same day his Majesty's steamer thThßatavia, ar rived from the Cape of Good Hope. is vessel is intended to communicate with Singapore, and there to meet the British Overland Mail.

Strutt had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday, at his official residence, in Downing-street. The Earl of Zetland had an interview with Sir George Grey on Saturday, at the Home-office. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The " progressive Conservatives," if we may judge from the language of their organ, have completely thrown off their allegiance to M. GUIZOT. The at-. tack:4 of La Presse on the Ministry are more unceas- 4 ing and more hitter than those even of the Nationa itself. In the Presse of Thursday we find the follow- ing bill of indictment against the Ministry : " The Ministry has existed for seven years, and not one session has been signalised by any of those able measures which alleviate the position of the tax-payers without dimi nishing the public revenue. Twenty departments suffer from the unequal division of the taxes, and impatiently wait for the more equal partition that has been so long promised them. The measure concerning the cadastre (registry of lands) is yet to be presented! The Pension Bill, badly con ceived at first, has gone on from report to report ; the Sugar Bill has to be remodelled ; the reduction in the price of fait will not take place; the Bill on the liberty of instruction is still only a promise of the charter; postal reform is threat ened with the fate of electoral reform; the Ministry which fund it inopportune in 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, will find it still more co in 1847. There was only one measure which could ensure the execution of railways; it was that which should adjudge the works to private industry, and re serve the working of the lines to the State. But this is pre cisely the only one which was altogether avoided; all the most false, most complicated, most contradictory systems have been engaged in ; at one time they were all amalga mated together, and at another opposed to one another. Ali i s a c ha, a perfect Tower of Babel! Now, too, they do not know how to get out of the scrape, and aid the companies of which the sharehAders :cruse to pay up the legal calls. They dare not restore the caution-money, and dare not confiscate it. They do not, in Pict, know what to do; they are wait ing until th , 2 evil be sufficiently aggravated so as to spare them the trouble of , eeking for an efficacious remedy." After half a column of bitter vituperation, the article concluder by declaring that the Ministry must either arise and be doing, or retire. On the subject of railways the Journal des Dads has fallowing, which is important as announcing the inter:Cons of the Government with regard to thome companies who are unable to execute their con- , tracts : " If it be desirable to make an example of the companies and to show mute que coute, that for the future no one shall contract lightly with the State, the law must be maintained, and the companies, after having been summoned to con tinue the works, must. if they refuse to do so within the periods fixed by the cahier des charges, be subjected to the loss of the caution-money and to the confiscation of the works already executed. But if, above all, it be desired. as we helive it cs, that we shall have railways, these Draconian or Napoleoni,ni measures will not be adopted. It is easy, in fact, to understand that such acts of severity would nt.t advance the termination of the railways, but, on the con trary, would retard it. For the Lyons Railway, the works executed and the caution-money represent about 30,000,000 f. The company which should take the place of the pre ient company would, therefore, obtain a premium of 30,000,000 f. The expense for it would be reduced to 270.000,000 f. The diminution is not to be disdained ; and yet, in the present state of affairs, thet e is no reason to be lieve that an association of . serious capitalists could be found to charge themselves with the railway to Lyons for 270,000,0001. Coercive measures, therefore, would have no effect. The construction of the railway from Paris to Lycets would he suspended ; it would be suspended indefinitely, unless the conditions of the adjudication were to be changed ; but then it is much more simple to change them in favour of the present company. Moreover, according to the ea bier des charges, the process of expropriation against the company cannot commence for three years, and the process itself would occupy another year ; so that the rigi,rous system would cause the loss of four years. Are we not already suf. tieiently behind other nations ? As regards the company from Lyons to Avignon, the same argument presents itself wi: h even greater force The company of the Paris and Lyons line LA commenced its works not only from Paris to onnerre, a distance of 200 kilometres, but also on souse other points. The company (f the Lyons and Avignon line has not giveo a single Wow with a pickaxe. The only hold there is on it. it rigorous measures be adopted, is in its cau tion-money, which is 10,00,000 f. But it is certain that the temptation of a subsidy of 10,000,000 f., arising from the confiscation of the caution-money of the present com- party, would not determine the formation of a new coin paoy under present circumstances. It may even be supposed that so long as the embranchment to Grenoble (which will cost 40,000,000 f., and for which the least advantageous of all the directions has been adopted) shall remain-. annexed to the principal line, it will be impossible to find any substan tial company to undertake it. Thus the line from Lyons to Avignon would be indefinitely adjourned. Yet it is a line of vast importance. The extreme dearness of grain at pre sent seems to have come expressly to demonstrateits utility. If communication by railway had existed between Lyons and Marseilles, the population of Lyons, and of all the country which has received the corn of the Black Sea through that city, would have paid from 6f. to 71. per hectolitre less. It is from this point of view that political men ought to judge the railway question, and particularly the two railways between Paris and Avignon If the Government does no thing, or announces the intention to do nothing, we are threatened with the breaking up of the two companies. This would be onerous to the shareholders, but less onerous than the pure and simple maintenance of the conditions of the adjudication ; and, what is important—what ought to decide the conviction of the Government and the Chambers is, that the consequence would be a cessation of the works, which would be doubly disadvantageous to the public inte rest. First, it would be the delay to an unfixed period of he tn.it important line of railway that it is possible to esta blish in France, that of the greatest traffic in Europe, be tween he Mediterranean and the Channel or the North Sea, that of the most important interior traffic. Secondly, it would be the clo.ing of works which must offer immense re sources to the necessitous popu4ai-ns. Deduction made of the cost of the land, it would be a capital of 400,000,000 f., which would be almost entirely disbursed in labour. To the public powers anxious for the maintenance of order, and de sirous to assure the existence of the people, it is a piece of good fortune. which cannot be allowed to escape. To relieve the misery of the people the Minister of the Interior pre sented, and the Chambers voted with universal acclamations, two bills for creating work to the amount of 32.000,0001.: in all. What would be thought if, the day after the vote cr these laws, a remmeiati4n were made of enterprises causing an outlay of 400,000,000 f. ? In this point of view, which under present circumstances is deserving of serious consi deration, the two enterprises which we now signalize are not the only ones to which regard should be had. All those for which capitals have been united and companies constituted met it that efforts be made to prevent their dis organisation." The Union Monarchique, the organ of the P ar a_ pretre, is endeavouring to;excite a persecution against the Jews, more particularly those of Palestine, by publishing a pretended letter from Beyrout, reviving the old calumny against them of murdering a Chris tian at the celebration of their Passover. We hope that M. CahmiEux and the other French Hebrews will take measures to trace these falsehoods to their source. It is worthy of observation that these Jesuit revivers of exploded calumnies are the persons who complain that the University deprives them of the liberty of instruction—a false accusation be it re membered—yet still it is well that those who join in the cry should know the species of instruction which these learned and most Christian men demand liberty to impart to their pupils.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having read in your paper an account of a meeting of " the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire" at the Hanover-square Rooms, on Tues day last, that a prize was awarded to policeman Fisher, 48 C, for saving Mrs. Devonshire, at the fire at my late father's hotel (Raggett's) Dover street, Piccadilly, near two years since, I write to inform you that 1 was the person who saved Mrs. Devonshire, by taking her from the second floor window, and placing her in the Society's fire-escape, which is confirmed in the accounts of the inquest and lamentable calamity in the papers. This being the case, I am at a loss to know why policeman Fisher, 48 C received a prize for what I did. entirely unw:sisted, and without the aid of any person whatever, and for which I received the thanks of the St. James's Society, conveyed to me through the Secretary, Mt. Newton, of Brewer street, a copy of which I herewith inclose.--I have the honour to remain Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, HENRY RAGGET. 48, Coleshill-street, Eaton-square, May 1, 1841.

The weather during the past week has been of a rather extraordinary character for the tune of year, tem- . pests of unusual severity having been experi,?nced in many parts of the kingdom. Here, yesterday, we had several storms of hail, accompanied by thunder and lightning louder. and more vivid than often occurs in the mast sultry weather. On saturday, also, we had a similar visitation, but of less severity. On that day, however; the force of the tempest was very great at Lavington and the neig,hbouritood, several trees having been injured, and one of them shivered to pieces by the • lightning.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. I Due Foscari was repeated here last evening, for the last time this season we are scrry to say, for we should have liked again to witm-ss the admirable acting of Coletti, Fraschini, Madame Montenegro, and Bouche, in their respective parts. After the opera we had a Diver tissement, in which Cerito and St. Leon appeared ; then a selection from La Favorita, with Gardoni and Bouche; and then the ballet of Thea, with Rosati and Marie and Taglioni. The house was crowded in every part. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. The opera of 1 Puritani was repeated here, last even ing with the same cast as on Thursday. After the opera a new Ballet Divertissement was produced, entitled La Bouquetiere de Venice, for the debut Of Mademoiselle Fanny Eilsler. It might be as well called by the name of that deessee de bal danse, for it was a mere vehicle for introducing Fanny Ellsler to the public. There is no plot, no story, no change of scene. Fanny Ellsler is all in all, and right well able is she to be all in all. She is the same Fanny Easier as ever. There are the same "twinkling steps, the ssrne wonderful tours de force,- the same marvellous "toe walk leg," but the Divertissement gives her no scope for the exercise of her peculiar talent.

BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, APRIL 30.—The sugar market has been dull this week , and the transactio n s comparatively unimportant ; but prices are agai n evi dently lower, the determination shown to sell, and the pressure for money will, it is expe c t e d, prevent the market recovering itself at present, and the dealers, consequently, buy with caution, and only for their im mediate wants.

In the punabor just published the latt er failing Is particularly visible. M. de Tocqueville has so depreciat ed the system of republicanism as applied to modern gec"; vernment, that Maga feels bound to him by the gratitude: and, in acknowledgment of the kindness done to the cause of Conservatism by M. de Tacque " Democratic en Amerique," the reviewer has the cab' city to place him on an equality, as a political philoo: pher, with—Machiavelli and Bacon!'

But Blackwood is n ot satisfied with merely once drawing this a bets' O u r parison; it enlarges anti dilates upon it.

At the risk its tautology, Christopher tells us again, with his prise self' cemplaeency, that M. de rocqueville "is e fi lli e s without Ins imagination,—a meeetteselli without bi crimes."
