Lord BROUGHAM deserves our cordial acknow ledgments for the manner in which he forced the present frightful condition of the money t market once more upon the unwilling at ' of Parliament and the Government. We cordially coincide with the Noble and Learned Lord, that the interference of the Legislature is in a peculiar manner demanded at thi s j unc t ure , see i ng th a t the present embarras s ments in the ba n ki ng t ra d e neeP-sirate th e i ncrease s : . change for the cereal Porta e lon of bulli on i n ex prod and other corn-growing countri es 4 were th e B an k t he 'United States of England only restored t o its origi nal fre edom, th e co untry would necessarily be relieved f rom further a nxiety or involvment ; for wh a t i s the f rom further anxiety or involvment; for what is the aCt at thisll tion of the commercial world in England ment ? Why, England is in one of those ano malous conditions conditions which brand the statesmen of a ki ngdom with fatuity or incompetence. Witn extensive American orders upon our cotton and woollen traders—orders such as would furnish our manufacturing districts with active employment for a very considerable time to come—the mills are motionless, an the arti zans unable to get work—because of the scarcity o f discount, and the exorbitant per centage required. Lord BanUGHAM enforced his remarks upon th;s point, by the repetition of the statements that had been previously made elsewhere, namely, k-liqh best paper cannot often be cashed ev e n a t th e I _4a.43riT4s reduction o'' twelve or thirteen per cent. sometimes offers of twenty per cent. _ for iftyrtient of discount bare been refused, j . tl THE SUN, LONDON, i SATURDAY_ MORNING, MAY 8, 1847. his disinclination to permit the solemnization of the marriage of his Royal Highness until such time as he has elicited the approbation of her Spanish in consequence of the timidity arising from 1 the financial condition of the country. Wit h 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 ASHBURTuN very simply intimated to the House of Peers, they all originate, without one excep tion, in the deplorable Bank Restrictiqn 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 satisfaction of 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 Bias," 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 bet seen the dreamings of La SAGE or the obstinacy of Sir ROBERT PEEL. MAJESTY. The Duke DE SAN LORENZO had been appointed Captain• Genera of the llalberdiers, the Duke DE BAYLEN having resigned that post. The Ministerial combination under the personal influence of General. NARVAEZ had failed, and the General was to leave for Paris on the Ist instant. It was still believed that the Parliamentary labours would be suspended during a fortnight. The Gazette publishes a royal decree confirming the authorization granted by the Cortes to the Ministry to collect the taxes until the latter end of June. The Three per Cents.were done at 314 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 191 ; the Debt, without in terest, at 54 ; and the Coupons at 16. The Paris papers of Wednesday have arrived. Aftention is altogether engrossed by the explana- 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 moat condemnatory terms imaginable upon the course pursued by 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 Commerce '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 Coma tutionxel M. TESTE, who was Minister of Public Works at the period when the concessions were granted to the company in which Gen. CUBIERES 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 ail are protected. These rules have been followed, and these rights have been fully respected in the matter in question. This is all that M. Teste 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 his 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 mey choose any engineer he pleases fur 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. beratiuns of the Council of State. It must be admitted, on the other hand, that none of these formalities can be con summated.m ithoat his direct participation. Not only is this egal, but it is necessary; for his responsibility is involved in allithe 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." What we feared has come to pas , . 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 afford 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 ABINGER), 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. The Courrier Francais contains the following re, 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, are gave rise to strange commentaries. We exaggerate nothing in saying that it is a fact which compromises the honour ot 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 ministe;ial 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-dozni 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 afforded 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 ! 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 person s , 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. O n the bringing up of the report, the measure may be restored to its original form. If not, we trust that the h ouse o f C ommons w ill b e fi rm an d unyieldin g , and that they will not suffer that which was carried by an overwhelming majority in their House t o b e a f terwards frittered away and deprived of its efficacy. If a collision should take place, we warn the Irish party that on seatth enext occasion a much I I stronger mea sure may to up which cannot be refused or weakened, but must be adopted in its in- tegrity. The Prince of SYRACUSE had reached Paris on a mission, so it was reported, from the Neapolitan MONARCH to Queen CHRISTINA. Wednesday, the sth instant, being the anniversary of the death of NAPOLEON, a solemn funeral service was performed in the church of the Invalides ; and the bodies of Marshal BERTRAND (his com panion in exile) and of Marshal Dunoc (his most beloved adherent and Grand Marshal to the Imperial Palace) were buried in tombs adjacent to the sarcophagus of the Emperor.

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. Duat,m, MAY s.—His 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." No other bulletin was issued up to post hour, and the an swer to inquiries 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 nole 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 tcannot,his poin t th e a s r e a fo d r e is , as b t u r t ou r s eg in ar d d ica te o i n r , laonndg lament-conti n u i by a favourabl e p rognos i s , th e y wou ld not h ave f a i led to do so. o ilenc W e oen ed The Societe Generale of Belgium has just lowered too 4 per cent. its rate of discount on commercial bills. MAJOR-GENERAL SIR HARRY SMITH, BART G.C.B.—The officers of the Rifle Brigade int en d t o g i ve th e gallant General a grand banquet to welcome his return from India. The banquet is to take place on the 17th instant, at the Thatched House, St. James's-street, when Lieutenant- General Sir Andrew Barnard, G.C.8., Colonel-Commandant of that distinguished corps, will preside. 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 for 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 Duidale as Catesby Nunnery, was seized upon by the Church Spoliation Commissions in the time of Henry VIII., and there is no estate in the country which bears more interesting evidences of ancient per;od, than Catesby Nunnery; indeed, we know of none which can confer greater,importance upon a purchaser. LORD LINDSAY'S LETTERS ON TILE HOLY LAND. —The prediction of the Quarterly Review as to the " ensuing editions, which this work very richly deserves," has ben amply verified—a fourth edition having just appeared, com plete in a single volume. "Atm , ngst the many travellers," says the Quarterly Review, " who have contributed to our knowledge of the interesting regions dignified by events recorded in Holy writ, a prominent place must be assigned to Lord Lindsay. His abilities and accomplishments are of a high order; a spirit of enquiry, and a glowing enthusiasm, have been aided by various knowledge. and ruined by a sincere piety ; he exhibits a considerable store both of ancient lElavi . ng g . o and modern learning, but his draughts of Helicon have been abundantly tempered by • Siloa's brook that how'd ne out F w as it t h by tt t m he p o e r r a s c e l l e ,e o ra f n G ce od a .

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, itrikes 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 of 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. 77f. 25c. 25f. 90c. 9114 Amber., Notting., Boston, and Eastern Junction .. .. 2%.... 1% , tinning ham and Oxford Junction 10 .. • . 17% 17 ...... laledonian .. 30 .... 23% 24 .....

SUNDAY -SCHOOL UNlort.—On Thursday the anni versary of the Sunday. school Union was held in Exeter hall. Mr. C. Hindley, M.P., took the chair at six o'clock, at which time the large 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, Canad a , an d o th er foreign countries, as well as at home. Th e total income of t h e un i on f o r the past year was 86,157/. 150 grants of libraries have been made , mak ing a total, si nce t h e commencement o f thi s branch of the union operation s , o f 1 , 7 03. Th e f our 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, of proposed an addition, seconded by the R ev. T . A rcher, D. D . , an d supported by the Rev. T.

On its being put, Mr. Thoma s Th ompson, embracing inst ruct i ons to the comm itt ee f or oppo s in g an y Governmental measure which wou ld f e tt er th e p rogress o f 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. Eoz's LAST WORK.—It must be a matter of sur prise to the publi c generally to perce i ve h cw var i e d are the opinions express e d b y t h e leading newspapers, w i t h respect to Mr. Dicken s ' s l ast publication. It may well be imagined that some adverse criticisms upon the works of this and other celebrated authors may proceed from personal feelings or educational prejudices. These, however, could account for tut a few. Th e ma j or i ty, as we have the best medical au thority for statin g , may be ascribed to irritability of temper, generally arising from aderanged state of the liver and other viscera, and which could easily be remedied by the occasional use of Frampton's Pill of Health, which is 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 FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
