The Earl of WINCHILSFA d.ffcred from the Noble Duke with great pain ; but, being convinced that passing the Bill would lead to the separation of the two countries, and the establishment of a democracy with the worst spirit of intolerance that ever disgraced a civilized country, he moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. After a little; mutual crimination and explana tion between Viscount MELBOURNE and the Duke of WELLINGTON, their Lonkhips divided, and the Bill was read a second time by 131 to 32. The Bill is to be committed on Thursday week. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of a great number of petitions, Mr. HUME put some questions to Lord PALMERSTON relative to the policy of Government as to Turkey. Thu Noble Lord replied that in July last a note was presented to the SULTAN in the name of the Five Powers, requesting him not to enter into negotia tions with MEHEMET ALI relative to anything done with the concurrence of the Five Powers. He admitted that two Greek ships, intended to carry Albanians to recruit MEHEMET A Les armies, had been stopped by Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS ; and stated that no orders had been been given to Col. HoDGES to grant passports to Turks. In revly to Sir R. PEEL, the Noble Lord stated that the mediation between Naples and England of the French Government had been offered and ac cepted, that orders had been sent out to stop the reprisals, but before they could he carried into execution the King of NAPLES had laid an em bargo on all English vessels, and the reprisals had, in cons, quence, not been suspended.

Major-General Sir CHARLES - NAPIER, K.C.8., &c. " This work consists of two distinct narratives, written by T 4 different individuals, who served in the armies of France, and whose military recollections are here comtined, with an in troduction and observations by Sir Charles Nanier. In liter: Ty characteristics these French writers immeasurably excel our English military authors. The Count de Vigny imparts to his narrative the interest of a romance ; and M. Blaze has such a happy talent for the picturesque that one might suppose he was telling some agreeable half historical tale with the most consum mate art of the poet and the artist. M. Blaze's portion of the work is the most sketchy and amusing, crowded with light and sunny traits, and bringing before us so graphic a picture of life, in the various vicissitudes of military experience, that it is possessed of a facination which has rarely before been imparted to such subjects. We like these two volumes., because they give us fresh views of the soldier's life, and because, written by soldiers, they speak out of the fulness of thought and knowledge."— Atlas.

Private Boxes to be had solely of Mr. Andrews bookseller !f57, Nev! Bond-street. Sze., were voted. Some conversation took place about Kew Palace and Gardens, which . Mr. HUME, with his usual attention to the public, desired to have made more accessible. Some conversation also took place about the new Houses of Parliament, which may cost, it appears, 2,000,0001., and will, after ail, as Mr. Harp: said, be in a damp, dark /,lace. On the vote of 67,C00/, for the Poor-law Com missioners, Mr. WILMA MS objected to the amount. Lord G. SOM E its ET proposed that the sum be reduced 11,744/. Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that the Assistant Commissioners had been reduced from 21 to 17, but he could not advise a further , reouction at present. After some conversation, the Committee divided, and the original proposition was carried by 57 to 21. The House subse quently resumed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the Registration of Voters, and explained at some length the nature of the 13:11. The Noble Lord proposes to substitute a permanent body of fifteen barristers for the revising barristers now employed. He laid down as the principle of the Bill that the registration should be as simple as was possible, consistently with ascer taining the occupier or person entitled to vote. He will keep a "name on a register after being there for some time, and not admit of an annual objec ' tion. He will do away with payment to the as sessed taxes altogether as a criterion of yoting; and he means to require that the poor-rates be paid up to within half a year of the time of fixing the vote. Justly dtd the No!,ic Lord state that those who passed the Reform Act were too much mistrustful of having too many voters and too low a class of voters. The Bill seemed to be generally approved of, and leave was given. The Noble Lord also obtained leave to bring in a III! to regulate further the right of Voting. At a Quarter-past Twe;ve the House adjourned. We Linn from the Aorthent Whig that the great Ulster meeting, held on Thursday last, at Belfast, to opp3se Lord STANLEY'S Registration Bill, was lof a must imposing description. " The place seas tined from roof to floor, with public zeal, rank, respectability, and independent spirit ; and, graced by the presence of those who shed a softer lustre upon the business of the day, it presented such a spectacle as has seldom warmed the heart and nerved the energies of men battling for their rights and liberties." Never, since the days of the Volun teers, who were cradled in Belfast, has there been any thing like a meeting for political purposes which deserved the name of an Ulster meeting : On Thursday." says the Northern Il'hiy, " some of the Volunteer veterans acre present, taking pan in the proceedings, and sanctioning, as if by right of a commis sion from the thus of bygone ;1 lory, the efforts of the men of Ulster, in delence of their freedom. Then, there were :he sons and daughters of Volun . cers ; and when Mr. Haliday, in his brief and very eloquent address, called up the memories of the past, when the illustrious Chief of the Velunteers, the late Lord Charleitiont, attended by such men as Colonel Sharman, stood ;at the head of the citizen toidiors of the Prey:ace, in Belfast ; and when he spoke of the presumption of those miserable and wretched fac tionists, nho would essay to represent as ' intruders' upon the same ground a Gosford, a Cauffeild, and a Sharman Crawford—the swelling burst of enthusiastic acclamation which re-t elmed his appeal, proved, that the men and women of the present day, in the North, are not deg,•- nerated from the patriots, whose deeds remain to cast a splendeur upon the page of Irish history." Catholics and Protestants were united in a common cause to declare their sentiments in direct hostility to Lord STANLEY'S Bill. The Earl of GOSFOIID was in the Chair, and the people of Ulster have hardly any recollection of the time when the aristocracy of that province have come forward to join the people for the attainment of a common good, and the security of general liberty. We see, from a letter previously published by Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, and by the speeches at the meeting, that this gentleman, who was present, was chiefly instrumental in bringing about this great public demonstration, and by his exertions has added to the mane- claims he already possesses to the enlightened gratitude of the whole empire. When men of all classes so units—when patriots of so decided a stamp and such a trustworthy cha racter tak e th e lead in their several localities, and unite with one another to attain a common end, it is a hopeless stru gg l e f or suc h a puny wh i pster as my t Lord STANLEY, STAN EY, hol:gh backed by th e p r i es t s , to pit himself against the moving and the mighty mass. The agitation, too, is not confined to Ireland. Meetings have been held at Liverpool and other places to back the Irish in their re.4istance to the uncalled-for oppression of the Tories. If the Irish cannot (11coinfit the Tories single-handed, and should Lord STANLEY pctsist in acting on his own self-will, many mure such meetings will be held in England. One of the resolutions at the Ulster me et i ng i s well calculated to promote them, and may b e con sidered as an appeal to the English. As a speci men of the good feeling which prevails in Ireland, and of a desire not to seek a repeal of the Union if the II isit be only treated with common decency, we will quote it " That. we ions, in England acrd Scotland, to join us on this feel, that the liberties of the nation can whip h instutiti,, only b e effectually secured or defended by that moral power ununimity produces, we call upon the friends of free occasion. e call on t h em to reflect, that any su c c essful w LOYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The Judges attended yesterday in the House of Lords, and, by the mouth of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas stated, in answer to the peE tions put on a fanner occasion, that all the Ju.l2,es of England, except Lords ABINGER and DEN MAN, who did not attend (on account of being Peers) were unanimously of opinion that the words Protestant ciergy " included other clergy besides the priesthood of the Anglican Church—they in cluded the Scotch clergy, for the Scotch Church was called an Established Church in the Statute book—which must mortify the Bishop of EXETER very much. The Judges also gave it as their opinion that the Legislative bodies of Canada had exceeded their power in passing an Act to provide for the sale of the Clergy Reserves. A new Act will, therefore, be necessary. Earl STANHOPE, on presenting the petition of the Freemasons' Tavern Anti-Opium Petitioners, indulged in a few unnecessary remarks, which made the Earl of ROSEBERY protest against " the whole proceedings of the meeting, particu larly that strange resolution that their inflamma tory language should be translated into Chinese, and transmitted to the Chinese Emperor, through Commissioner LIN. Earl STANHOPE defended his conduct, and said that the resolution was nei ther illegal nor reprehensible, for the communi cation might be made to the Emperor of CHINA, I when ail the business was over. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented petitions for the abolition of the Corn-laws, bearing 72 ; 000 signa- tures. Viscount STRANGFORD stated that the French had embarked slaves on the we: tarn coast of Africa, on the pretence of serving in the Ewell military, u n d er t h e sanct i on of French men-of war. Viscount. MELBOURNE moved the second readin g of the Irish Municipal all. His Lord ship alluded to the former progress of the ine;7.- sure, and stated that it had only been prevented from passing last Session by the latenifis of the pe riod at which it was sent back to the Commons, and by technical difficulty. It had been brought early into the Commons this Sessi on , and sent up to th e i r L ordships by large Si includi ng t h e principal men on both s es, of the House. The delay des which had sub sequently taken place he could not help, but he did not regret it, as he hoped it would enable their Lordships; by a numerous attendance, to settle the question. The Duke of WELLINGTON did not oppose the motion, but he found fault with the Bill for not syN, LONDON, TUESDAY. MAY 5l 1 s4O. attempt to swamp the rights of the Irish people, would be the vrclutie and the fuundanon for like attacks upon their own." And the call of the Ulster men will not go un heeded. Mr. O'CONNELL has already made his appeal to the slave class in England, and he will be listened to. The Irish, when the G:11 inst. comes, may have an opportunity of retorting on the Tories, and will defy them to produce from the wildest parts of Connaught, or the most politically excited regions of Tipperary, such scandalous and wholesale cor ruption as have been exhibited in the centre of our morality and civilization, under the imme diate influence of our clergy, in the University town of Cambridge. If Lord STANLEY and his friends have in them one spark of genuine modesty, they will begin to reform at home before they cross the Channel. Let them pluck the beam out of their own eye, and then they may perchance see to take the mote out of their brothers'. Let them first bring in a Bill to disfranchise the corrrupt small towns of England, or throw them open to all the inhabitants; let them extend the franchise here, and, by the Ballot, release the voters from their sinister influence, then we shall think them sincere in wishing to put an end to corruption, and then the Irish may perhaps tolerate their attempts to meddle with their franchise. Tiil the Tories do that, they will deserve to be scouted as base hypocrites, who prostitute the most hallowed prin ciples to the vilest purposes; who, while they talk of morality, are only looking for poxer that they may exercise tyranny. Within the memory of living men, the bulk of the people followed the lauded aristocracy and the clergy with so much confidence, that they were called the natural leaders of the people. They had no political opinions of their own, but received and reflected, with some distortion, the opinions of the upper classes. Those were the days of 'Church and King mobs, when PAINE was burnt in effigy, and the houses of Dissenters were razed to the ground. - Subsequent to that time, after the French Revo lution had sounded the phrase, " rights of man," in the public ear, and the Tories continually re peated it by their crusade against those who used it, the people rather separated from their natural leaders; their discontent was embodied into words, their opinions were echoed by BURDETT, CO/t• BETT, WATSON, HUNT, and others ; and two or three successive demagogues partially took the place of the natural leaders of the people. These were the da)s of Radical Reform mobs, Luddite riots, and Manchester massacres. At present the separation of the people from their natural leaders seems almost total and com plete, and no demagogues, at least in E ng l an d, supply their place. A Ceirrespondent yesterday, who called himself a Tin-plate Worker, and vouched for the sentiments of many of his class, said that the people - deride the no:ion of the Church of England being the poor man's Church, and de clared that his class of workmen never go to Church. The hostility of the bulk of the people to the landed aristocracy is open and undisg,eised. They maysometimes look at the journals of the aristocracy and of the clergy for information, but they have journals of their own, which the clergy• and the aristocracy very seldom see. The Northern Star, the Northern Liberotcr, the Scots limes, the Scottish Patriot, the Weekly Di - s , pOtCh, may be quoted as specimens of the peopl e s press, which express their opinions, and nourish in them a peculiar body cf sentiments, into which no particle of respect for the institutions of the country, or the former natural leaders of the people, ever enters. Instead of being led by one or two dema gogues, individuals of their own class stand out a little before the others in every town, many of whom are eloquent, well-informed men, and recently some fifty or sixty such were nominated to form a Convention. Between the working and the upper classes ti,e separation is now almost as complete as between the races in Ireland, and now are the days of long-headed plans of extensive reform. The revolution which is approachin g here, does not come, like that of France, with ti-:e people wholly unacquainted with its nature, and wholly unpre pared to act. On the contrary, the multitude have gone before any leaders, and have far outstripped those who have vainly endeavoured to frighten them back. We have given this very brief outline of a remarkable change in the opinions and relative situation of the masses, with a view of at tracting attention to the subject, for the change is still making a rapid progress. Within memory a separation has Ingot', and is aimost complete, between the so-called ruling and - ruled classes. Laws have nothing to do with the past ; the pre sent escapes and becomes the past while we are writing about it ; and we wish to knew wh a t legisla tion will be adapted to that future which is ever hurrying forward, and which is shadowed out by the great change we have noted. We wish to ask if our legislators, who are so busy wilt) Irish Re gistration and Irish Municipal Bills, with Bills for establishing a rural police and for regulating beer houses, have ever considered this startling change, and have prepared their minds and their measures to meet it ? We would also humbly ask pur Contemporaries of the broad-sheet—those who C 11.4 themselves leading journalists, and pretend to guide thr,-e-lourths of the nation—we would put it to all the _Posts and Heralds and Standards of the empire, Vd4.) on day after day railing at Popery, abusing o CONNELL, calumniating th e Ministers, andc' nourishing in their readers sentiments of estrange ment from, and contempt for, the great multitude, and of must overweening arrogance in themselves ; we would humbly ask these—the echoes and guides of the upper and middle elassos—if they have ever thought of the course of policy or the system of Government which can long be carried into execu tion in a community now so 'divided as our's has become, and which is every day becoming more divided ? Prescription is at an end. Physical force is on the side of the governed, and moral force will speedily be where there is strength of muscle and bone. The dominion of those who were long called natural leaders has been thrown off, and it cannot be supplied by the dominion of the ten-pounders. A system of Government estab lishcd in 1832, with which all Blass .s are discon tented, which no person thoroughly approves of, will never be hallowed by prescription, and with such blots. as those of Ludlow and Cambridge continu ally appearing, will never command the respect and willing obedience of the masses. We therefore again ask our wise and learned Contemporanes, who descant so ably day after day on climbing boys, or the hard words used by Mr. O'CONNELL, or on the number of false oaths taken by Irish voters— we ask our very busy Lords and Commons if they have scanned all the consequences of the change we have indicated, and have prepared, like wise men, a system of policy and government adapted to the strange future which is rapidly hastening on ? In publishing, in another column, th e t ex t o f t h e treaty between Great Britain and Naples in 1816, we are less influenced by any desire to justify what requires no justification, namely,- the conduct of the Governmeot, than to place our readers in a condition to form a just conception of the bad faith evinced by the Sicilian Government. When it is borne in mind that on the faith of this. treaty, a company of British merchants undertook to work certain sulphur mites in Sicily, which they fanned from the Governm:nt—that, after having expended vast sums io machinery and the erection of the re quisite works for mining operations on an extensive scale, they found themselves subjected to ruinous im posts, befor3 unheard of—and that, to complete the perfidy of the KING, the whole sulphur trade was made over by th e G overn m e nt to certain French spe cu l ators , i nc l u di ng i n the medley associa tion, the Royalist Duchess DE BERRI and M. LAFITTE the Radical banker ; the only wonder is, th at t h e B r i t i sh Government did not sooner send an armed squadron to demand reparation for so flagrant a violation of a purely commercial treaty. Nor has the French Government less rea sonfaith of t h e Sicilian to c o mpl a i n of the consequences of the bad sulphur p ro d uced to two)y-tliiiimrditsinogf The actual monopoli s t s , by than we have. g th w e h q a u t an i t t ity wa o s when th e mines weref contriv e Nnvoearkrieyd. to by dou t h i le e British merc h ants, the price to the French as well as the Eng lish consumers, without putting one farthing mo into the French or Neapolitan State coffers. This has been repeated over and over again by M. THIERS and the other members of the French Cabinet, who are as much opposed to the con tinuance of the monopoly as Lord PALMERSTON. As the King of NAPLES has accepted the Mediation of Frpnce, we enteriajn no doubts as to the pacific settlement of the question. Our Go vernment has certainly acted with great moderation, and, in the end, with proper firmness and decision. In the whole conduct of the Neapolitan Govern ment only one act honourable to it can be men tioned, and for that act we wish to accord it the fullest praise. It rests on the authority of a private letter from a mercantile house in Naples, and is to the following effect hen the Hydra war steamer arrived for the last time at Naples with instruc tions for Mr. TEMPLE, the British Minister, it was notified to British merchant vessels in the port, that they could not gut out: of the way too pon, and that as our Consul could not be answerable for the consequences of any delay, they were re commended to land their cargoes as soon as pos sible. When this was made known to the KING, orders were promptly given to give the preference in landing cargoes to British vessels, and to afford them the utmost facilities of clearing out be fore the Neapolitan Government would find itself compelled to make reprisals. We arc not a people upon whom the effect of so generous an act as this can be lost; and we are confident that when authenticated, as we have no doubt it soon will be, it will wonderfully tend, upon the restoration of friendly relations, to obliterate the remembrance of the causes of their interruption. The King of tne. Two SIGILIEs is the unfortu nate dupe of the Tory delusions concocted and pro mulgated by the Times, the Post, the Herald, and the Standard. Because these lying Journals set forth daily, in their editorial co:umns, that the Whigs would patiently submit to any chastisement —to any dishonour. The despot of the Two Sici lies fancied he was safe in despising them. But, like the Shah of PERSIA, and the Emperor of CHINA, and the ex-King of CABOOL, ann others of the same kidney, his Sicilian MAJESTY has by this time discovered his mistake. The Duke of WEL LINGTON, when Foreign Secretary, did conseLt to endure rough handling n Turkey, and his cele brated memorandum on 'the China question is an enduring proof of his willingness to submit to any indignity at Canton; but Lord PALMERSTON has never yet displayed such an accommodating spirit Except in the single affair, of the-Vixen, Lord PAL MERSTON'S policy has been bolder and more deci sive than that of any British Minister since the peace, with the exception of Mr. CANNING. This boldness and this decision are not incompatible with the most earnest desire to maintain peace every where. 0n the c ontrar y they' ensure it, a n d hav e it ensured under the most threatening circumstances. The Semaphore of Marseille's, of the SOW ult., brings interesting intelligence from Naples, of the 25th, by the Sully steamer, and of the 26th, by the Papin—being two days later than the previous arrivals. The Duke de MONTEBELLO, French Ambassador to the Court of Naples, arrived with his fainily and suite at Alar.seilles on the 28th, pre paratory to his embarkation in the Ocean steamer for Naples. The intelligence is certainly most ex traordinary, inasmuch as it represents the King of the TWO SICILIES as carrying on hostilities after accepting the mediation of the French Government. But we are not yet in possession of sufficient facts for the expressio n of a decided opinion. The fol lowing is the news published by the Semaphore:— The acts of reprisal continue. The En g lish have captured seven Neapolitan vessels. The - King of Naples, - on his side, has Jail an embargo on English ships lying in the port_ . cf Napl es ; has also had the m e r c h an di se at the Custom-h ouse sequestrateri, and, according to some, the public stock belon g ing to subjects. These acts on the part of the King of the Two Sic'. lies have astonished every one, for they have been done since the arrival of the French.steamer, the Papin, that brought despatehesrelative to the mediation of France. The Papin left Toulon on the 21st, and reached Naples on tire 24th. V Oar 4 Charge d'Affaires, B iron. d'H..ussonville, as soon as be received these despatches, forwarded them immediately to the King, who was at the inJincnt at some distance from the capital, briny at his palace at Cms.-iro. 4‘ The King, on learning the communications of the French Government had six horses pot to his c;irriage and proceeded In great haste to Naples, and on his arrival had his Council assembled, and, in short, issued orders for the above-mentioned measures, which were put into execution on the following day. The Papin received orders at two, on the With, tl he ready tor sailiog, and was waiting for despatches from the French Charge d'Affsires with the King's answer, which had nut transpired at the departure of the Sully. .‘ It appears from the letters brought 'by the Sully, that the commander of the Hydra had effaed to gin up to the Neapolitan Govei noir nt the crews of the vessels that bad bee n seized, but that the proposal had been rejected. Nevertheless, the English commander having insisted on receiving provisions horn the King of Naples for the rive sailors, received rrmiision to victual at Naples. The English vessels approach the fort so closely that they have captured a merchant vessel under the very walls Of Fort Proude, from w hid) not a cannon was fired on the occasion. P. S. When the post left oils acre quoted at 24.4 80; Neapo:i;an Stock at 1001 corn at Id 82. •' The Pario . left Notes en the 2Gth, and reached Toulon on the 29th, bringing wart that the King had ac. ecpted the mediation, but according to private information it was no easy matter to ivauce his Majesty to do so. Thus up to the very moment of =he departure of the Papin the King had not raised the embargo, and, consequently, the English bad not suspei ded h s ilia es. The news from Spain is very unsatisfactory Throughout the w hole of the .Ba , que Provinces Carlist emissaries are at work to rekindle the flames of civil war, and we have mason to fear, with more success than is dreamt of by the im becile and dishonest Government at Madrid. The masses are said to evince no sympathy for the rebek, and to join in pursuing them wherever the% show themselves ; but to us there appears something ominous even in the attempt to excite rebellion in a country so long desolated by civil war. The chief Carlist emissaries arc time unfortunate monks whom :he Government, after stripping them of their propert)', has shamefully left to perish with out the means of t;ie scantiest subsistence. Now this conduct towards a number of men, whose functions imparted in the popular eyes a sanctity to their character—many of whom were old—not a few fanaties—und nearly all by ther previous habits rendered unable to provide for their own support—was as atrocious as it was impolitic. In seizing the property cf the Convents the Govern- meat voluntarily guaranteed the support of the tai• serable inmates male and female, and it is notorious that no faith was kept with them, and than already some hundreds of the wretched creatures have r. , - iished of malaßs brought on be destitution and the agony of mind consequfmt upon being castp• less upon the world. The more youthful and des. perate raised the banner of Don CARLOS, and but for their aid it would lint have covered an inch of the Spanish soil one year after it was first u n . furled. The followitig summary of the Spitish news is from the Moniteur of Sunday An attewpt at a Carlist insurrection has taken place in several parts of the provinces of- the north of Spain. This demonstration has been foreseen for some time, and the French Government, advised of ;he part which seve ral Spanish refugees were likely to take, used p ecautiocs to prevent their return into the Basque provincei. - The strictest watch was kept up on the frontier, and many of the would-be chiefs were arrested and sent into the interior of organised, deprived precaution, the in of France. In s pi te , ho wee' i surreeticn has taken pl ace , b ut everything :rane shows that the bands are but i n d i tl e:ent l y deprived of the in fluential chiefs whom they expected, and so feeble that they cannot long trouble the repose of the country. " The movement commenced on the 26:h April, when several bands were in Navarre and Guipuzcoa. " In this latter province, a priest called Amaliba put himself at the head of about twenty Carlists, and went into the vicinity of Zavia, calling on the people to rise. He then fled to the mountains. Guerillas were also seen in the same quarter. " Similar manifestations took place in Navarre. The Amcscuas, Zugaraniuedi, Estella, and other localities, are cited as the principal theatre of CarLst operations. " In Biscay there have been some slight disturban"st but nothing that can alarm the public . mind. " The Spanish military authorities have lost no time in taking energetic m , asures. The troops are already pur suing the rebels. General Aleala, at the head of several battalions, was on the •'B , ll at Andoiri. The Viceroy of Navarre ordered trim Rimpeluna several companies to watch the B-istan, rind it is thought that by this activity the {rowing spirit of revolt will be put down. " A Carlist etti,f, taken with arms in his has been shot. Tbe insurrection, whiel. has no other promoters than and the monks, thPCar i l r i ebr; o a s r s e o left h vr e i i r t I p t o ri u v t i resource, icges : finds no sym.• paths an.ong the i na , s t s . "The pc pie join i n n um b ers to pu -, 41 , the rebels. The latter are in want of arms, ammunition, and money ; and everything leads On e to believe that, reduced to their proper level in a few days, they will speedily abandon a desperate cause." The Phare de riallonne of the 30th ult. has following paragraph to the s , .me effect : Just as we were going to press, we learn that the rebels who bad then on cur frontie..-i had ocnetr:tted into the interior of Navarre without having found the resistance which they had expected. It is further stated that the insurrection in the vicinity of Estella had become more extended. Amongst the in.iividwils whom we have already do.ign..ted as the pr;ncio.ll chiefs of the move ment are General Sopetina and different other Ca:lists of distinction." From EsPA hTErto's head-quarters the news is of the 27th ult. He had then removed to Mon royo, four hours' march from Agua-Viva. At the same tim;: General LEON and Brigadier ZUEBANO wen, mar:l6llg in tile direction of Mara de Ebro. The Carlists had abandoned Otto, leaving about forty sick and wounded in the hospital. The cor respondent of the Chronicle, writing from ESPAR TERO'S head-quarters, relates the following revolt ing atrocity, which we dare not' trust ourselves to give in other words than his own. It is too hor rible for comment : The appalling fact incontestibly prnved is, that the Her rera prisoners acre dying from starvation, on the average of tietween twenty or thirty a day, in the Carlist depots at Orr*, &c. ; and that the famishing survivors kept thereseives alive by feeding upon the carcases of their late companions ; selecting pieces of flesh from the calves of their legs and thighs, aft ch they cooked, and after a first meal off this revolting food preserve.' the remainder—cold _fur a day or two's subsequent supply I Ten of these poor fellows, who had made this wretched store, were discovered to have dono so by their inhuman keepers, and on that accbunt were taken to Bezeite, and there shut !!! My respectable informant saw the human flesh taken from the haversacks in which the sti.rving Cliristino prisoners had deposited it ; and witnessed their execution at Be zeite ; other equally respectable people in this place were present at the sanie horrible scene. Thus Cabrera and his crew starved a large proportion of their prisoners to death—left the remainder famishing, driving them to the adoption of the unnatural means just described for keeping life within their debilitated frames—and then shot them, under the plea that they were cannibals!!! The following additional news from the Spanish frontier is from the Commerce of Sunday. It in cludes all that we have received relative to SpaM this morning:— The France .tWeridionale of the 29th of April has the following passage : " A l e tter which we have received from French Cer dagne, dated April 24th, says--' A swarm of Spanish priests, flying from the environs of Solsona, have come to our frontier, and etitieted thcie entrar.co into France the day before yesterday ; they fly from the part of the country which, according to all appearance, will soon be the theatre of coal :tits, since the- Christinos and the Carlists are both advancing towards Solsona. The latter to the number of 10 or 12,000, with some pieces of cannon, are going not only to hinder it being revictualed, but even to lay siege to it. Thus the belligerent parties will at length have an opportutiity, which they have so long . de sired, to meet each ether, for there is no longer any room to apprehend that from prudence, or in consequence of any unforeseen even:, they will both take any direction but that a hich will bring them together, and lead to an engage ment, the issue of which may contribute to the pacification or a province v.hicli has been long exhausting itself in fruitless sacrifice. It is suspected that among the priests who have entered France there are individuals who have assumed the ecclesiastical habit in order the more easily to escape the investigation-of-the-French The Lisbon Papers ofthO 27th of April bring no more important intelbg2nce than that the QUEEN having completed. the third month of her pregnancy, prayers were to be offered m all the Churches of the kingdom for three several days, for her MAJESTY'S liappy delivery. There is no danger of the Crown of Portugal reverting to Don 111rOuEL for want of heirs. The Paris Journals of Sunday bring no local news of the least interest. The intelligence from Naples and the Spanish frontier contained in them, will -be foil - net elsewhere in our leading columns. The KING'S fete passed off tranquilly. The fbilowing is the latest news from French Africa : ALottits, Aratt.2s.—lt is announced that Abd.el-Kuler has approached onr advanced posts with fifteen or twenty thousand horse and foot, which he has raised, not without difficulty, in" the three provinces. From the statements of some Arabs taken prisoners at Fondouck, it should seem that the Emir is resolved to oppose the march of the cxpe : dition. If this news is confirmed, our brave army will have at I:zigth an opportunity of trying its strength with the enemy,- who is sure to he severely handled. Already during the cxour•ioos which the Marshal has just made towards the Fondouck, the Arabs gave signs of lite; but a small column of French troops has sacked several tribes, and carried off 1,000 head of cattle. We killed a great many of the enemy, and bad on our side only a few killed and wounded. Among the latter arc three officers. It has been found necessary to order the evacuation of the camp on the Arba, where fifteen or sixteen men were daily cart led off by fever.—Le Constautionnel. INDIA. MAIL. The following intelligence appears in a Third Edition of the Times of this day : " The Bombay mail of the 31st of March has artived. All was stilt hostile. The Emperor-of China had approved of all Governor Lin's mea sures, and had distinguished the Admiral of the junks who had cngaged with our vessels. Our military preparations woe proceeding.

SYMPTOMS OF COMMON SENSE.—At the last meet iror, of the Edinburgh Presbytery, Dr. Muir, one of the ministers of Edinburgh, moved to overture the Ge neral Assembly as to the danger to be apprehended to the inierets of *ound religmus education from any grants in aid of schools, unless the inspection was left norely to the Church. The object of this motion was to carry out the absurd principle contended for by the English Bishops, that the Garret) should have complete c ntroi over schools, even over time for which funds are twilished by the State. The motion, however, was oppo,cd by D. Lee, the Principal, on the ground that the I..gislature bad ever claimed and exercised the p'ewe r of inspeetin t ; the instructiun given in the schools of the country. lie therefore moved that the motion be rejected, which was rejected accordingly (even some of the wild Churchmen voting with him) by a majority of 27 to 8. The Scotch know the value of money, and the Clergy arc not afraid of being stripped of their mocerate incomes by the progieis of education. This consummation the Bisheps dread.

SlR,—There is a strange fatality in all our Government undertakes when in connection, with the Arts. If a monu ment is to be erected—a public bAding (our National Gallery, to stit)—cr anything clic, where bcaaty of design is required, if in Government hands, they make sad work of it. This appli .s doubly to the Postage envelope a.nd adhesive stamp, 'just isinec.'—more disgrace ful productions it is impossible to conceive ; there is nei ther design nor execution but of the poorest description ; and this, too, after all the parade of premiums and invitations to foreign and English artists to send forth something worthy this age of refinement. . The result is before the public—and such result l—lt is abso-, lutely disgraceful to all the parties engaged in the production of such vile trash ; even the paper itself is below mediocrity If better things have not been sug gested among the thousands sent to the Treasury for ap proval, it is a most unfortunate business ; but I 'cannot imagine this to be the case, aid hope that the various designs and plans will be exhibited, that the public may judge if the contributors have hail fair play. Designing, engraving, printing, and embossing, as well as papr min!, are carrier! to such perfection in this country, that there can be no difficulty in obtaining something chaste, ele gant, end beautiful, as well as very difficult of imitition, in stead of rime miserable trash just tssead. For the honour of our couniry, let these wretched things be put aside! I hope that jchbiog is not at the bottom of all this, and that Rowland Hill's anxiety to secure to his brother the situation of manager or director of the envelope and stamp department, although totally unac quainted with the business, has not b-en the cause of this failure. How Messrs. Cluwes, Perkins, and Co., and Mr. DicEnson, must laugh in their sleeves at the party who superintends the execution of these envelopes and stamps. AN ADMIRER OF THE ARTS. QUEEN' BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings ru Banco.) LANE V. CHAPMAN. This was an a c ti on b rought by the assignee of a btak rupt against the Marshal of the Queen's Bench, for having, discharged a prisoner out of custody, who was in his cus tody at the suit of the bankrupt. The Marshal pleaded, as a justification, that he had discharged the person out of custody by orders of the plaintiff's attornej-. The case came on for argument on demurrer this day. Mr. Richards appeared for the plaintiff, and the.Atter ney-General for the Marshal of the Queen's Bench. The arguments having been conc'uded, Lord DENMAN said that the question was whether the Marshal could defend himself for the escape of a prisoner, on the ground that•the plaintiff's attorney in the original suit had authorized the release, the plaintiff having become bankrupt. It appeared according to some of the old books, that the authority of the attorney terminated with the judgment, but according to the later books it appeared that the authority of the attorney lasted for at least a year afterward s .. But in thi s case he thought sufficient had not been shown to release the Marshal from his tespon sibility. The whole statement amounted te this, that the attorney for the plaintiff had authoi z .d the release without stating that the attorney had his client's authority for so doing. It appeared upon this pica that it was the act of the attorney alone, and this was no defence to the action. the Marshal had been deceived, it was an unfortunate thing for im ; but this pica was really no defence to the action. It had been argued that the Marshal would have been subject to an action for false imprisoitment, if he had detained this prisoner ; but he thought that if, under such circumstances, the Marshal had been sued, and it had been shown on the trial that the original plaintiff himself had not authorized the discharge of the prisonee, that then such action must have failed. The other Judges concurred.—Demurrer allowed. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

A grand Concert was given last evening under very dis tinguished patronage. at these rooms, by Messrs. Carte and Hayward. The pertnrmanees were divided into two parts. the first consisting of a new Sacred Oratorio, written and composed by Miss Mary Linwcod, and entitled David's first Victory. Sir George Smart conducted the Concert. The Oratorio has considerable merit as a composition. It abounds with passages of feeling and expression, and indicates occasionally much fervour of thought. The se cond part of the concert was miscellaneous, It com menced with an overture of Beethoven's, followed by a performance by Mr. Hayward on the violin of a " cappriccio sentimentale." Mr. H ryward subsequently played a" Ve netian barcarolle"...-a wore attractive composition—with much spirit and effezt. Ile is a very clever performer. loose, and somewhat ragged in his style, but gifted with genius and capability, and only wanting a mature,. polish to become great. Mr. Carte played with more power and animation than we have been accustomed to bear hire. He accompanied Miss Clara Novello with great spirit in the " Rising of the lark," the vocal portion cf which was do. quently sustained by the lady. Mozart's overture to Figar o served to play the departure of a very crowded company. • SOCIETA ARMONICA. This Society gave thtir third concert last night it the great room in the Queen's Theatre. The per;dimances commenced with Beethoven's eighth smpitony, better known as th e o ne i r ,F major; and although it does not rank so high as any of his first six, there could be no good rea son why it should be indifferently played. The singers and instrumental performers were of the very first els* but the concert had not been properly rehearsed, and full justice, therefore, could not be done to it. With this ex ception, we have to bestow unqualified praise upon the performances of the evening, which, in the instrumental department, included the overture to, The Ruler of the Spirits, by Weber; that to Egmont, by Beethoven; and the celebrated Der Bergeist, by Spohr; with Hummel's charming quintett in E flat, for pianoforte, violin, violas violoncello, and double bass; the whole of which were ad mirably played, especially the last-mentioned, by Messrs. Lindley, Howell, Maralt, Tolbecque. - and Forbes. la addition to these, Mr. Baumann performed a solo on the bassoon, and Mr. Jarrott, another on the horn, both of which were very well executed. a)- though we think flute variations upon the latter not a little out of place. The singing was confined to compositions of which we have repeatedly made mention, with the excep tion of a song from Spohr's Faust, Va Sma— rm:lido," wherein the accompaniments are of the moss charming description. Lablache gave this most fartutiful air with surprising effect. The other singers were,Madame Grisi and Mademoiselle de Varny. The next concert vrill take place on the 18th of this month, for which, we under stand, Mdlle.

Every corner of the great room was filled ahnost to suffocation. Sir P. L a urie, the Chairman, said there never was a better man than the - founder of their body, John Wesley.
