Lord BROUGHAM deserves our cordial acknow led,_;ments for the manner in which he forced the pre -stint frightful condition of the money market once more upon the unwilling at _el"n of Parliame n t an d the Gov e rnment. cordially coincide with the Noble and Learned Lur~l, tha the interference of the Legislature is in a pPcalLar m ariner demanded at this juncture, seeing that the present emba r rassm e nts in the bankin g t ra d e Th .„ .late the itierttaselrod uce exporta t ion of the of bulli on i n ex change for the cer ea l United the Ba n k W St a t es and other corn-growin g countries. of England only restored to it s original f reedom, country would necessarily b e relieved fromct fu rther l the rther anxiety or involvment ; for what i s the a tion of the commercial world in England at thisPrt ment ? Why, England in one of th ose anomalous conditions which brand the statesmen of a kingd om with fatuity or incompPtPnce. With extensive American orders upon our cotton and woollen traders—orders such a s would furnish our manufacturing districts with active employment for a very considerable time to come—the mills are motionless, and the arti aans unable to get work--because of the scarcity of discount, and the exorbitant per tentage required. Lord BROUGHAM enforced his remarks upon this point, by the repetition of the statements that had been previously made elsewhere, namely, that the best paper cannot oft be be cashed even at the monstrous reduction or twelve or thirteen per cent. Nay, that sometimes offers of twenty per cent.l for payment of discount have been refused, • ~~ ~~ THE SUN, in con , equence of the timidity arising from the financial condition of the country. With the cellars adjoining the Exchange crammed with larger quantities of bullion than can be remembered -to have been in the possession of the directors for a con siderable period, there is the diminution of value in the Three per Cent. Consols, there is the difficulty of obtaining discount, there is the incapacity of paying up instalments, there is the impossibility of completing foreign orders upon our manufacturers, and there is the consequent incapacity of affording employment. All these gigantic evils spring, moreover, from a single source ; they all originate, as Lord ASHBURTON very simply intimated to the House of Peers, they all originate, without one excep tion, in the deplorable Bank Restriction Act of 1844. From the disastrous effects of that very foolish result of a very foolish hypothesis, come a multitude of evils such as would have entailed opprobrium upon any class of men, providing the public were as quick to detect their pecuniary foes as they are to recognise their social and constitutional antagonists. From the enactment of 1844—the notorious enactment of 1844—the enactment nurtured under the Peel- Loyd auspices—have arisen—stoppage of employ ment, unnecessary exportation of specie, en tanglement of the monetary affairs of the kingdom, interference with commerce in all its multiple branches, and the exceed ing and appalling probability of an actual panic. The financial crisis of 1825 was not preceded by such ominous fluctuations in the pulse of trade as those which have latterly aroused the fears of the com munity, and which on Thursday induced Lord BROUGHAM to revive the question to the consideration of the Hereditary Senators. And all these fluctuations, all these sufferings, all these diminutions of confi dence, all these malign approximations to the bank ruptcy of many thousands of men whose characters are unimpeachable, and whose fortunes are of un doubted amplitude—all these deplorable things, we repeat it, with a comparative glut of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England! When we say a comparative glut of bullion, we cannot well be derided, seeing that ac cording to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S enactment, the Bank of England is at any moment in the risk of being left witk merely 2,500,0001. disposable issue, whilst it has 10,000,0001. in its cellars. We cannot tire of repeating our abhorrence of a plan by which this vast commercial country is placed in perpetual danger for the bald sa ti s f ac ti on o f grati fying a diseased whim. Literally, the scheme, under the penalties of which the market is at present groaning, is the tying of metal about our heels to enable us to keep afloat ! Precisely when credit money is most wanted, it is restricted in amount; when it is little better than a superfluity it is lavished about in abundance. Assuredly Lord ASHBURTON was justified in stigmatizing the course adopted by the late Administration as equivalent to the perseverance of the doctor in " Gil Blas," in his undeviating remedies of hot water and phlebotomy. Assuredly the Act of 1844 is about as judicious as a prescription penned by SANGRADO. And little pre ference can there be betv‘ een the dreamings of La SAGE or the obstinacy of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Paris papers of Wednesday have arrived. Attention is altogether engrossed by the emplana tion.given on the preceding forenoon in the Chamber of Peers by M. TESTE in extenuation of the conces sions made by him in regard to the :mines of Goubenans. Nearly all our French Contemporaries, without exception, speak in the most condemnatory terms imaginable upon the course pursued b) the Hon. Gentleman in that matter ; but we cannot but regard their adverse observations as premature in utterance, and as too vituperative in tone. Of all the papers published on Wednesday the Commence speaks of M. TESTE in the discreetest manner. "We think it unbecoming us," it says, "to pronounce a definitive opinion upon the merits of explanations, which are destined to furnish an important document in a judicial discussion." According to the Consti tutionnel M. TESTE, who was Minister of Public Works at the period when the concessions were granted to the company in which Gen. CIIDIERES was interested, pro tests most solemnly and emphatically, that those con cessions were made in accordance with all the cus tomary forms, and with the strictest integrity. The National speaks out pretty plainly however, and with something like a show of contempt for the protestations of the Hon. Gentleman. It says as follows: " The concession of a mine, according to M. Teste, is the ministerial act in which the personal influence of the chief of the Administration is the least possible. Everything passes without his interference, according to certain pre cise regulations by which the rights of all are protected. These rules have been followed, and these rights have been fully respected in the matter in question. This is all that M. Tests knows ; the rest, as far as he is concerned, being enveloped in mystery. Such is an analysis of the speech of the late Minister of the Public Works. It will be at once conceived that we are bound to keep the greatest reserve as regards him until the facts are made known. We shall make only this general observation, which appears to us to be important : M. Dumon and M. Teste have both greatly exaggerated the purely negative part which they represent to be played by the Minister in the concession of mines. Were we to listen to them, we should believe that everything was done without his meddling with it, and that the responsible chief of a Ministry had nothing more to do than to sign bis name at the foot of the report or the ordonnance. This, in truth, is lessening somewhat too much the action of the man in power, in order that he may be relieved from responsibility, and such a proceeding is not founded in law or in fact. In each step of the official ladder the Minister has a decided in fluence. He may suffer to sleep or expire any application for a concession; he may choose any engineer he pleases for in spector; he may accept a report or order it to be reconsi dered; it cannot be denied that his voice has weight in the Council of Mines, over which he presides, and in the deli berations of the Council of State. It must be admitted, on the other hand, that none of these formalities can be con summated mahout his direct participation. Not only is this legal, but it is necessary ; for his responsibility is involved in all i the resolutions come to by the Ministry. Let it not, therefore, be asked with such singular simplicity, where is it that favour can be exercised or corruption creep into this series of operations? The answer is ready enough :—Favour may be exercised from the first to the last day, and corrup tion is a subtle poison which may penetrate every part. Let then this pretended improbability be laid aside, for it will not bear the slightest examination. Let us wait then till M. de Cubieres can give his explanations before we decide whether he is to bear all the odium of this affair, or whether it is to be divided." The Courrier Francais contains the following re- What we feared has come to pasi. Noble Lords, hostile to an efficient poor-law for Ireland, could not, in the face of the frightful scenes of misery and destitution that are of daily occurrence in that unhappy land, venture to meet with a direct ne gative a measure intended to afforti relief to the sufferers—a measure, which affirmed the great principle that the poverty of the country had a right to relief out of its property—a measure which declared that henceforth no man should be suffered to die of starvation in a Chris tian land, and that the necessities of all should be provided for before any portion could be made applicable to luxuries or superfluities. These Noble Lords, however, have attained their object indirectly, and by a side wind. One of themselves (Lord ABINGEE), after stating that the principle of a poor-law, at all times dan gerous, was peculiarly so in Ireland, advised that they should not reject the measure altogether, but so modify it as to deaden its effects. The recommendation of the Noble Lord has been acceded to. The effects of the measure have indeed been deadened. As Lord GREY truly remarked, " the great experiment must now be made under every possible disadvantage," un less their Lordships recal their fiat, as it is still possible for them to do, and unless the representatives of the people refuse to accept the Bill in its diluted and emasculated form. marks : " The shameful affair of the mines of Gouhenans, in which the morality of the whole Government is profoundly com promised, was yesterday the subject of all conversation, and gave rise to strange commentaries. We exaggerate nothing in saying that it is a fact which compromises the honour of the Ministers more than anything that has occurred since 1830. M. Taste, Minister of Public Works in 1842, could not dispense with ascending the tribune of the Chamber of Peers to offer explanations. It must be stated that he was heard with extreme coldness, and that his brother was the only one to advance towards him and press his hand when he descended from the tribune. When M. Teste affirms that he remained a complete stranger to the practices employed to obtain the concession in question, we are entirely dis posed to believe him ; but when he declines all responsibility in an act which occurred under his administration, we be lieve that he is strangely mistaken in the sense which he attaches to ministerial responsibility." In addition to the interest excited by the statement made by M. TESTE, in the Chamber of Peers, the political circles of Paris were agitated by a rumour, insinuated by the Presse, that nearly half-a-dozen members of the Cabinet had intimated their intention of withdrawing from the Administration. This it is which causes that organ to observe that the Ministry at present holds but a nominal existence. In the Chamber of Deputies M. BILLAULT availed himself of the opportunity aflbrded by the renewed discussion upon the Supplementary Credit Bill, for inveighing against the Government for its lavish ex penditure in reference to the foreign department. The Noble Secretary for the Colonies spoke out boldly and manfully in defence of the measure. He pointed out that the great principle had for three centuries been recognised in England, and that he was prepared to recognise it—not for three years only— but permanently in Ireland. And in that he is sanctioned and confirmed by the unanimous voice of the British people. Are we prepared to encourage what has too truly been termed " The Irish Invasion ?" Are we prepared to permit the Irish landowner to withhold from the people born on his estate that which the more humane landlord of England extends even to the casual poor Here every destitute person is entitled to relief in or out of the workhouse. If that relief is practicable in the workhouse so much the better, but under any circumstances it must be afforded whenever it is required. But in Ireland however urgent may be the necessity, however pressing the demand, it cannot legally be given if the workhouses are full. The starving wretches may sink and perish at the very thresholds of the poorhouses, but they cannot be permitted to receive one solitary meal until room is made for their admis sion into the house. Is this legal obligation to maintain the poor of Ireland only to commence when they arrive in this country ? Most assuredly not 1 Such a system is not compatible with the con tinuance of a free intercourse between the islands. If persevered in, we must be contented to take upon ourselves the duties which we permit the landowners of Ireland to shirk. We must be satisfied to feed the hungry, and to clothe the naked, in that par of the United Kingdom, at the expense of British industry. We are willing to render every assistance to the landlords who are disposed to exert themselves properly and efficiently. We are willing to pledge the national credit in order to procure these means for the improvement of their properties, the ade quate employment of the labourer in useful and profitable works, so that the capabilities of their country may be fully developed, and their lands brought into the highest degree of culti vation and productiveness. We will assist those who endeavour to aid themselves, but we will not assume the burdens from which they have shrunk, or the post from which they have deserted. Already the measure is, perhaps, of too restricted a character as to the power of affording out-door relief. It is only when satisfactory proof is given to the Commissioners, that by reason of the want of room in the workhouse adequate relief cannot be afforded them, or if by reason of severe or infectious disease it is unfit for the reception of poor persons, that it is lawful for the Commissioners, by order under their seal, to authorise and empower the guardians to administer relief out of the workhouse, for a time not exceeding two calendar months, and that relief cannot be given to the able-bodied, save in food only. Surely this might satisfy the most cautious. They cannot suppose that the Commissioners would wantonly abuse that power, or that they would au thorise that out-door relief save in cases of the utmost urgency. There is still an opportunity for revising their decision. On the bringing up of the report, the measure may he restored to its original form. If not, we trust that the House of Commons will be firm and unyieldin g , wa scarried an d h that a h overwhelmingthey l l not sutlermajori majority that n which their House to be afterwards frittered away and deprived of its efficacy.

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. Duauw, MAY s.—llis Excellency has made another rally. The bulletin issued at ten o'clock this morning was as follows : " His Excellency has passed a good night, and is much better this morning." Ne other bulletin was issued up to post hour, and the an swer to inquiriel at the Castle was that his Excellency con tinued to improve. The Mail of this evening says— " But whilst the general course of his Excellency's illness forbids us to encourage the expectation of his eventual re storation, it gives us sincere satisfaction to be able to an nounce those occasional mitigations of his complaint, which give immediate ease to the noble patient himself; and in some measure relieve the painful anxieties of his affectionate fa mily. We are quite sure that if his Excellency's skilful and considerate medical attendants were able, from the symptoms that have marked the progress of his case, to relieve the anxiety so prevalent on the subject by a favourable prognosis, they would not have failed to do so. We cannot, therefore, but regard their long-continued silence on this point as a disastrous indication, and lament it."

The lovers of literature and the fine arts should pay a visit to Robins's Auction Rooms, where the library of a well-known collector is arranged for public sale on Mon day, and to continue during the week. The auction seems to be formed from the gems culled from the most valuable libraries which have been offered fox' sale during the last few years, and thus, in one catalogue, offering more of variety and value to the collector, than is often to be met with. Catesby Abbey, in Northamptonshire, one of the most attractive estates in this luxuriant country, is, we per ceive, announced for public sale, by Mr. Robins, in July next. This property, described in Dugdale as Catesby Nunnery, was seized upon by, the Church Spoliation Commissions in the time of Henry.ylll., and there is no estate in the country which bears more interesting evidences of ancient period, than Catesby Nunnery; indeed, we know of none which can conkr greater importance upon a purchaser.

We have the exchange from Hamburgh decidedly higher again : viz., 13 5 3 A, and we see nothing unfavourable this morning, except that the corn market is again higher. This, however, may probably be corrected ere long by the increased arrivals from abroad, large as our wants undoubtedly are. As a satisfactory result of the frequent interviews between the " Chairs" of the Bank of England and the heads of the Government, we may mention that the Directors of the Bank have this day made the very agreeable intimation that they will advance money at 5 per cent. to the holders of Exchequer-bills, a circumstance which at once caused a de cline in the value of money in the Stock Exchange, and which must be felt beneficigy out of doors likewise, and in the general discount market. The Funds have not been higher to-day, but have a firm tone. Consols have ranged from 86 3 / 4 to 87 1 / s for present transfer, and from 87% to 87% for time. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 88 to 87%, and Three per Cents. 86 to 85%. Bank Stock is quoted 187 to 189. Exchequer-hills have been Bs. to 3s. discount. The Foreign Market is dull. Spanish Five per Cents. are marked 23, and the Three per Cents. 34%. Mexican Stock has been steady at 19 3 / t , and Grenada at 19%. Dutch Four per Cents. have realised 871. Austrian Bonds are 104}. The Market for Railway Shares is very quiet, and there is consequently no improvement in the quotations. On the other hand there is no general decline. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock .. .. .. .. .. .. • • 188 187 189 188 Three per Cent.

Mademoiselle Jenny Lind made her second appearance on Thursday night, which was a " long Thursday." The impression she produced on her audience on this oc casion completely shows how firm a hold she has taken on the public mind. Here is no transient, flashy success, but the more she is heard, the more she is appreciated. Those exquisitely-lengthened notes which sound clear as a bell, and then become more and more piano, preserving their musical quality even when they sink to the lightest whisper, always come with fresh power on the hearers; the shake in the subdued voice, so firm, and so delicately warbled away, strikes as something new in vocal art, and when executed on Thursday night drew forth the loudest acclamations. In her execution of passages nothing is more delightful than the feeling of confidence with which she inspires her audience. One never feels a moment's doubt about the truth of her intervals, and her utterance pf a passage is at once marked by the greatest accuracy and the greatest ease. Her acting gains upon repetition ; the more the minutice are fol lowed out, the more perfect do they appear. The scene at the cross in the second act is in itself a complete study, so various are the emotions which she introduces. Now it is in mere terror that she flies to the symbol of refuge, now she clings to it with child-like faith and confidence, the feelings regulating her gestures and pervading her song. And throughout she completely preserves the innocent de portment of the simple peasant girl, who though capable of the greatest energy, always remains to a certain degree un conscious of her own power. The character of Alice is really the only interesting one in the book of .Robert le Diable, and 'as represented by Mademoiselle Jenny Lind is a complete personification of feminine goodness. The house was crowded to the roof, and Mademoiselle Jenny appeared three times at the end of the opera, to receive tumultuous plaudits, and abundant showers of bouquets. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SUNDAY -SCHOOL UNION.—On Thursday the anni versary of the Sunday. school Union was held in Exeter hail. Mr. C. Hindley, M.P. , took the chair at six o'clock , at which ti me t h e l arge room was densely crowded. The re port detailed the extensive operations of the union in France, Holland, Germany, New South Wales, the West Indies, Nova Scotia, Canada, and other foreign countries, as well as at home. The total income of the union for the past year was 86,1571. 150 grants of libraries have been made, mak ing a total, since the commencement of this branch of the union operations, of 1,703. The four London auxiliaries to the union contain 588 schools, in which are employed 11,165 unpaid teachers, with 108,531 scholars. The sale of books at the depository amounted to 8,7721. The resolution adopting the report was moved by the Rev. J. Waddington, seconded by the Rev. T. Archer, D.D., and supported by the Rev. T. Borse, missionary from Calcutta. On its being put, Mr. Thomas Thompson, of Taunton, proposed an addition, embracing instructions to the committee for opposing any Governmental measure which would fetter the progress of the Sunday-school system. Dr. Hewlett seconded the reso lution with the addition, which was carried with but few dissentients. The Rev. J. Branch moved, Dr. Beaumont se conded, and the Rev. C. Stovel supported the next resolu tion, expressive of gratitude to Almighty God for past suc cesses, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks having been passed the meeting separated. Loz's LAST Woax.—lt must he a matter of sur prise to the public generally to perceive hcw varied are the opinions expressed by the leading newspapers, with respect to Mr. Dickens's last publication. It may well be imagined that some adverse criticisms upon the works of this and mho • celebrated authors may proceed from personal feelings or educational prejudices. These, however, co account fur tut a few. The majority, as we have the st medical au. thority for stating, may be ascribed to irri ility of temper, generally arising from a deranged state of e liver and other viscera, and which could easily be reined" d by the occasional use of Frampton's Pill of Health, w his gentle in its operation, and unfailing in its effect. The Right Honourable Sir Robert and Lady Peel will give a splendid entertainment this evening to Major- General Sir Harry and Lady Smith, at their mansion in • ' Whitehall-gardens.
