EVEN ENG EDITION!. s attar outrage having been committed. The utmost that had ever been done before had been to suspend the trade.—(Hear, ' hear.) The memorandum of the Duke of Wellington had been referred to. There was much in it to confirm the high character of the illustrious Duke, and to exhibit his great foresight and saga- 1 city.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) But what were Isis orders to Lord Napier ? Why, that he should pay the utmost attention to , the instructions he had already received from the Noble Lord. — (Cheers from the Ministerial Benches) —therefore, so far the illus trious Duke confirmed the orders of the N oble Lord.—(Continued cheering.) A great deal had been said about the want of powers to Captain Elliot. It was rather singular that at page 283 of the papers before the House, Captain Elliot entered into a particular discussion as to whether it was expedient formally to require all British subjects engaged in the opium trade to quit the coasts of China. Th.s order was issued in 1 539, and had it been issued seven months before, andbeen obeyed, the immediate cause of the present rupture would have been avoided.—(Oppositioncl . eers.) Capt. Elliot, in the passage referred to, gave five reasons why he could not then give those orders, but want of power was not one of them ; therefore, if power had been given by the Government at home, ' still he would have kept to his own view of the subject. He was sorry to see ni a pamphlet which was circulated yesterday,that he I was riported as pressing hard upon the conduct of Captain El liot ; this was not the case, and having exercised the functions in China which he (Sir G. Staunton) had exercised, he felt it impossible not to feel the utmost sympathy for the difficult and embarrassing position in which that gentleman was placed—he , had exhibited great gallantry and great anxiety to do his best for his country—(Cheers)—and what a pp eare d t o b e vac illation he verily believed was only extreme anxiety to meet the various exi gencies of the case.—(Cneers.) The pamphlet then went on to i ask what he (Sir G. Staunton) would have done if lie had been subjected to the edict of Commissioner Lin, and been ) told to tremble?—(A laugh.) The only answer he would give would be to state what he actually had done under circumstances somewhat similar. When he accompanied Lord Amherst to Pekin, similar threats had been held out to him ; he was told that his life would be forfeited if he did not advise the Ambassador to perform the ceremony of the Ko-tow ; he did not r tremble at the order ; he did not advise the Ambassador to per firm the ceremony. The ceremony was not performed, and the embassy was dismissed in safety, and on its returning from Pekin, received even greater honours than had been accorded to the pre.. ceding embassy of Lord Macartney. He did not say this in dis paragement of Captain Eiliot--he believed he had been actuated by a sincere.desireto benefit his country, and that he had exhi bited a total disregard to his personal safety in the execution of his duty.— (Cheers.) Still entertaining as strong an opinion on the opium trade as he had ever done, and hoping that the Government would give the fullest consideration to that part of the subject—having considered the orders the Government had issued, lie could see no ground for fixing on those orders the present un happy state of affairs, and he therefore felt bound to give a decided negative to the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet.—(Cheery.) Mr SYDNEY HERBERT wished to make a few observations to the House on the subject under discussion, which he would coin ' Liss as much as possible. He would first state, with regard to the , :peeeh of the Right Hon Baronet who hail just sat down, that though the House had listened to him with the attention which his position and authority deserved, it was impossible precisely to collect his opinion on the subject before the House.—(Hear, hear.) Looking at the speech of the Right Honourable Baronet, he should say that he had given his (Mr. Herbert's) side of the House the moral weight of his opinions, while he had seemed to promise his vote to the other.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Edinburgh had said that the resolution was a retrospective one. 'But he wished to know how it could be otherwise.--(Hear, hear.) }lon. Members had no means of deciding on the future policy of i Ministers, while that policy remained unknown. The fact was that Hon. Members on his side did not wish to harass the Government —(Hear, hear, on the Ministerial benches)—they did not like to harass diem on questions on which disclosures might affect the in terests of the country. We were about to engage in a war of doubtful justice —we were going to an expense of six millions of money to recover two. 'We were throwing good money atter bad—bad in more senses than one; we were in a situation in which we could neither retreat with ho nour, to: advance without risk ; the complaint was, in a word, not that an armament was to be sent, but that an arma ment was rendered necessary--(Cheers)—that measures had been allowed, which had tarnished and dishonoured our national flag. Mr. HUME rose, and on the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the debate waa adjourned. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Route adjourned at Ten Minutes past Twelve o'Ciock. THE DUBLIN LETTER-CARRIERS: The Memorial of this very bard-worked and, in our opinion, very ill-pail body of men, to the Right Honour able the Postmaster-General, was presented lately by a highly respectable deputation, amongst whom were Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Hutton, the Members for the City of Dublin, Mr. Sergeant Curry, M.P., Mr. Evans, M.P. fur the County of Dublin, and others, accom panied by Mr. Watt the Queen's Proctor for Ireland, Mr. Kilt. of Dublin, &c., &c. The case of the memo rialists and the grievances they complained of were stated by Mr. Sergeant Curry, and Mr. O'Connell all terwards replied to some observations made by Colone- Maberly, the Secretary of the Post-office, with refer ence to the comparative salaries and duties of the Lon don and Edinburgh Letter-Carriers, and to the same class of men in Cork, Limerick, Belfast, Derry, &c. 41r. Watt stated that a general feeling pervaded all classes and parties in Dublin, as to the merits of the Memorialists, their laborious and increasing duties, and the very inadequate compensation they received as compared with persons holding si milar situations, with infinitely less dut;es, and not a twentieth part of the responsibility, in other public de partments. He also mentioned the highly honourable testimonials borne to their characters by the noblemen, gentlemen, bankers, merchants, and professional men, on the presentation of a memorial in their favour to Mr. Godby, the Secretary at Dublin, in December last. Colonel Maberly would not hold out to the Deputation any certainty of the prayer of the memorial being granted, but he promised to convey to Mr. Watt, with whom the Postmaster-General bad been in communi cation, his Lordship's reply on the subject. The Depu tation then withdrew, after expressing their sense of the very great courtesy shown by the authorities of the Post-office on the occasion. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF LICHFIELD, POSTMASTER-GENERAL, &c. THE MEMORIAL OF THE LETTER-CARRIERS OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN. Humbly Shoveth, . That the many and recent alterations in the Post-office, more particularly the last oae of the General Per.ny-postage, have deprived memorialists of emoluments. .... _ . . . That their duties have been threefold increased, and that the salary they receive is not sufficient to support them and their families in Dublin, where rent and provisions are always so high. That these emoluments arose from keeping weekly accounts with the public, and collecting letters by ringing bells through ;he city ; the former was worth from 301. to 50/. and in some instances 60/. per annum, and the latter from 401. to 6 1. and in some eases 701. per annum. The adoption of the Penny postage, the establishing receiving-houses through various parts of the city, and extendinrr the time of keeping them open for the accommodation of the public, has deprived memo rtahsts of both these sources of revenue which, with their salary, enabled memorialists to support their families respectably. That the thirty general carriers formerly bad to attend at tie office at 6 30 a.m. to do the morning or general de itvery, which was completed by 10 a.m. ; the remainder of the day they had to themsAves. rhat now they attend at 6 a.m., and from the increased number of letters, although assisted by the second class, comprising sixteen men, the morn ing delivery is not completed before 10 30 a.m., and more fre quently 1l a.m. _ That they have bo attend at twelve o'clock every day and if any of the English or other mars are due, wait and deliver them ; they are also required to attend every evening at half past six o'clock, Sabbath not excepted, to sort the newspapers, and forward the mails. That before these alterations took place tor this newspaper duty, a duty not one third so severe as ziow, a class of clerks received a salary ;and 241. per annum was allowed to a portion of Memorialists, as well as 8/. per annum for brii ging receiving-house bags, which was paid out of the re venue; sitar the duties of the other classes are equally as 'every, anti have become more so since establishing the second London and Liverpool mail, which keeps them on duty until eleven and half-past eleven at night, and for this severe duty the small pi•ssnce of from 17s. to 19s. 6d. per week is only received. T sat the Commissioners of Post-office Revenue Inquiry in the: 19th Report, recommended a reduction of men, a conse quent increase of duty, and an increase of pay, but that while the red action in the number of men and increase of duty took } lace the ;nerea.e Of pay ha.. no to the present time, been thou h e scale of salary recommended to other d partmenta of toe Yost-orrice has been granted.

Also the mail guards enter at 70/. per ann., after three years 100/. ; after ten years, 115/. ; and after fifteen years, 130/. per annum ; but how different is the case with Memorialists; they enter at 45/., and they may ')e in the sitiedion upwards of twenty 02 E. before they wart to 50/. tur 2nrinlll.

We had the pleasure of witnessing at this theatre last night Charles Kemble's performance (for the last of the Kembles is too great a name to be designated, notwithstanding the respectable au thority of the play bills, with the prefix of Mr.) of the character of Benedick, in Sliakspeare's excellent comedy of Much Ado about Nothing. Benedick was allowed to be one of Garrick's best cha racters, and, upon the whole, we are clearly of opinion that it is one of the most successful of all Charles Kemble's - performances. We have never seen anything to equal his acting in the scene in which the woman-hater all at once discovers that he is beloved to distraction by the equally wedlock-eschewing Beatrice. His absolute bewilderment, at first distrustful of himself, by no means satisfied as to whether he be asleep or awake, and labouring, as it were, under the narcotic influence of laudanum, presented one of the finest exhibitions we have ever seen of the first workings of some great, overwhelming passion, in a mind previously a stranger to its influence. The scene in which he challenges Count Claudio, the innocent repudiator of Hero, was not so much to our taste, but the actor was less to blame than the author. In truth, our moral feelings are shocked by the proposal of the father of Hero, that her lover should marry her cousin a few days only after her reported untimely death, and still more by his acceptance of such a mode of expiating the wrong he had unintentionally committed against his ladylove. We think it is Hazlitt who says that Hero is the principal figure in this play by her beauty and her misfortunes. This judgment must have been come to after a perus - 11 of the comedy in the closet. On the stage the main characters are unquestionably Benedick and Beatrice. From first to last they alone divide among them all our sympathies. Mrs. Nesbitt performed the part of Beatrice, and we can give her no higher praise than to say, that since the days of Mrs. Jordan there has not been such justice done to that charact r. Her arch ness, and womanly raillery, which all could feel to conceal deep and tender feeling, was only equated by her quiet self-possession, which left nothing to be desired. Mr. Farrell, as Dogberry, and Keeley, as Verges, convulsed the house with laughter. Miss Emmeline Montague threw what life she could into the dull character of Hero—a personage, by the way, with whose misfortunes we would find it difficult to sympathise. At the falling of the curtain, Charles Kemble was loudly called for, and made his appearance amid thunders of applause, which lasted several minutes. There was not an auditor present who did not appear to feel that an individualcompliment had been paid him by the aipearance of this last of a race of histrionic heroes on the stage. We trust he will be pre: ailed upon not to withdraw from us for a few nights longer. There are thousands who have not yet seen him—who wish to see him—and in whose lives the very sight of him would form a delightful era. This consideration deserves to have weight, both with him and with his friends. The house was densely crowded. TIIE ITALIAN OPERA.—Last night Pasta's pupil, Signora Emelina TOsi made her first appearance in this country, in the character of Norma. Her voice is not powerful, yet, neither is it thin. It is on the contrary, full, sweet, and of extraordinary compass—reaching from the region of the contralto to the altitudes of the soprano. Some of her low tones are peculiarly fine and impressive. What she still wants seems a degree of physical strength, which, it may be presumed, she will gradually acquire. She was favourably received. Ernesta Grisi, Lablache, and Ricciardi, were all in excellent voice. The ballet was the Gipsy ; and Fanny l'assler was as captivating as usual. The house was full. Baton and Baroness Dirnsdale, and the Misses Ditnsdale, arrived at Alivart's Hotel, on Saturday, from Dover, where the Baron and Baroness, with their family, have resided during the winter. The Earl of Coventry is labouring under severe indisposition at his seat, Severn Bank, Worcester. Lady Elizabeth Dawson has arrived in town from a tour in France and Italy. FREEMASONRY.--BV letters overland under date the 13th February, we learn that Dr. Grant, the newly appointed Provincial Oland Master for Bengal, has nominated the following brethren to be officers of the Grand Provincial Lodge of Bengal : Robert Neane, Esq., B.C. S., Deputy Grand Master. Sir E. Ryan (Judge of Supreme Court) Senior Grand Warden. Major Bu:lton, Junior Grand Warden. Major Henderson, Senior Grand Deacon. Dr. Egerton, Junior Grand Deacon. Alexander Grant, Esq., Grand Secretary. It. Bagshaw. Esq., Grand Treasurer. S. Smith, Esq. Grand Registrar. There have been some difficulties in reconciling contending claims for masonic distinction, but they have been obviated by the courtesy and decision of the Provincial Grand Master, upon, whom now rest the hopes and the expectations of the Anglo- Indian masons in the extensive Presidency over which his masonic rule extends DEATH OF SIR RICHARD PHILLIPS.—We hare to announce the demise of this venerable Knight, which took place on Thursday last at Brighton, after a long illness, in his 73d year. Sir Richard was collaterally related to the !ate Lord Milford, and served the office of Sheriff of London in 11:4)8-9. He was known in the literary world as the projector, editor, and proprietor of the Monthly Magazine, and the author of various books connected with an improved system of education. MATCH AGAINST TrAtE.—,last Friday, on the Chester road at Trannicre, a match against time was performed by Mr. Barker's celebrated chesnut horse, Reynard. He was mounted by his owner, and was backed to trot two miles in six minutes and a half, which he accomplished in good style in six minutes and 22 seconds. The match was for 4 0/., and the betting in favour of time, two to one being laid against the horse performing the task. We understand the same horse is backed to trot seventeen miles within the hour, within twenty miles of Liverpool, next week. Reynard has won 31 out of 33 matches that he has run. —Liverpool Cht angle. The Earl and Countess of Radnor and family arrived at their mansion in Grosvenor-street this day, for the. season.

In the Lords last night, after some petitions bad been presented against the - Irish Corporation Bill, when the two Noble Marquises we mentioned yesterday again dissertate& somewhat after their fashion, the Bishop of EXETER brought forward a motion to ask the opinion of the Judges on certain points of law in the construction of the Canada Act touching the Clergy Reserves. The principal point was to decide whether the words " Pro testant Clergy" in that Act were meant to include any other priesthood than those of the Anglican Churc:t. The Bishop contended they were not to include any other . Viscount AIELUOURNE opposed the motion, and stated that the words included the clergy of the Church of Scotland. The Duke of WELLINGTON finding this difference of opinion supported the motion. After a short debate, in which we rejoice to see that some Tory Peers, as Lord ASHBURTON and Lord Er.- LENBOROUGII, took the honest and the liberal side, the House divided, and it was decided by 57 to 40, that the Judges should be asked the questions, including that, whether the words " Protestant Clergy" meant cxcln elusively the intolerant money-grasping priests of the Church of England. Counsel were afterwards called on behalf of Messrs. STOCKDALE and HOWARD against the Printed Papers Bill, and, at Half•past '['en, the House adjourned. In the Commons, besides the presentation of peti tions, and the trans....cton of some private business, in cluding the reference cif a petition for a Bill to amend the. (la-gow and Edinbur!!h F ailway Bill to the Coin mittee on Pik. ate Bilk, and Ow . from Ei t ,ti n n Committee on :he appointment of the Committees to try the 'fotnes and Cambridge peti tions, no business was done, except snaking a factious attack on Ministers in reference to China. Sir JAMES GRAHAM in a very long speech, far the Right Hon. Baronet spoke upwards of two hours, and read a number of documents, brought forward Ids mo tion to censure the Ministers for not having, by pru dence, foresight, and discretion, prevented the conten tion with China. He began by a description of the value of our trade with China, from which and India one-sixth of our revenue is derived. He gave an elabo rate description of the strength, wealth, and population of the Chinese empire. He referred to a communication made by the Directors of the East India Company to their servants at Canton explaining the importance and antiquity o f t h e trade, andrecommending - attention to the laws of Chi na as a means of securing those advan tages. ' e snot;on,ce r n h sureßdigthhet m H i„ o i n st . e l , 3 .s a f s- o o r n n e o t t , s a v a:ground n p fa r r op h e i r s instructions to the Superintendent, and not having given him adequate power. He admitted that he was in office, and was responsible both for the Act opening the trade with China, and the Orders in Council appointing a Superintendent, and giving him instructions. He admitted that there were f wits in the original instructions, such as ordering the Superinten dent to take up his residence at Canton, and such as directing him to communicate di rec tly w ith the Vice roy of Canton,instead of through the Hong mer chants ; but he contended that subsequently to his leaving office the faults and errors of those instructions became known ; they were pointed out with great clear ness by the !memorandum drawn up by the Duke of WELLINGTON ; they were repeatedly brought underthe notice of the Ministers by their own officers at Canton, but they had paid no attention to these representations —they had not answered the communications—they had given the Superintendent n o f res h i ns t ruc ti ons —they had not increased his power, and they were responsible by their negligence for the present crisis in our affairs. The Right Hon. Baronet spoke feelingly of Lord NAPIER, though he was obliged to censure some of his conduct ; he praised the proceedings of Sir GEORGE ROBINSON and of Captain ELI.IOT, down to the time when he made unprovokedly the attack on the Chinese junks. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by draw ing a picture of the great expense and danger which would be involved in the war with China, which he said would not be a little war ; and, by declaring that the people would not place confidence in those who had destroyed this valuable trade, and all but plunged us into a war in which success could bring no glory, and defeat would be ruin and shame. Mr. MACAULAY replied to the Right Hon. Baronet. I He observed conclusively, but briefly, that the points of accusation on which the Right Hon. Baronet had relied, had completely failed. It was a satisfaction to him that in a series of transactions, extending over five years, the Right Hon. Baronet cou ld on l y fi n d s i ns of omission, with which t o accuse t h e Minis ters. The paucity of instructions, of which Sir JAMES GRAHAM complained, was wise at sach a distance ; as those d espatc h es w hi c h would be scant and meagre, if sent `to Paris, might be sufficient at the other side of the globe, where men must necessarily be guided by their own d•s_irc tion. India must be governed, it was said, in India, and the English trade with Canton could only be ju diciouslyinterfered with by some one on the spot. The first ground of Sir JAMES GRAHAm's complaint of the errors of the instructions in regard to the Su2erinten dent residing in Canton, was disproved by the statement that Captain ELLIOT had succeeded in taking up his residence there. The second, that he was only to cram municar.e with the Viceroy, was equally futile, far Captain ELLIOT had actually established that mode of communication. The third, that Lord PALMERSTON had not, according to the advice of the Duke of WELLINGTON, sent a stout frigate and a smaller vessel of war to the assistance of the Sup,:r intendent, was shown to be a misunderstanding of the Duke's recommendation, which was confined to the time when the trade was disturbed, and for more than two years subsequently to that recommendation, the trade had been carried quietly on. Mr. - MACAULAY might have strengthened this part of his case by referring to what Sir JAMES GRAHAM called a standing order under the East India Company's monopoly, that no man-if war was ever to go into the China seas ; and by the sad consequences which have arisen from their presence there in later times. But he -bowed that Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S objections on these points were groundless. With respect to not sending more specific instructions and greater power t the Superintendent, to put down the opium trade, Mr. MACAULAY was eminently successful, and clearly de monstrated that it was neither the duty, nor was it possible for Great Britain to put an end to the opium trade. To attempt it would only drive it from Canton to the coasts, and convert smugglers into buccaneers, The Right Hon. Gentle man concluded his speech by an affecting appeal to the right of Englishmen to the protection of their country wherever they might be, by an emphatic description of the cruelty of the Chinese, and by assuring the House that the people would never be backward in making any sacrifice to ensure respect to the name of England in every quarter of the world. The Right Hon. Gentle man's speech, of which we have here presented a very imperfect analysis, was most effective, anti scattered the fallacies and the twaddle of the heavy ex-First Lord of the Admiralty to the wind, as a smart English frigate would demolish a heavy Spanish ship, blow her up, and scatter her in disjointed fragments on the waves. Sir WM. FOLLETT followed Mr. MacauLav, and laboured by long and many quotations from the despatches to prove that the Ministers had not supplied the Superintendent with sufficient power, nor defined his duties with sufficient precision. Sir WM. FOLLETT concluded a much more able speech than that of Sir JAMES GRAHAM by deprecating war of any kind, and above all, a war with an unwarlike people, from whose defeat we could only gain disgrace. Sir GEORGE STAUNTON effectively closed the debate or the evening, for Mr. HERBERT'S speech goes for nothing, by making a speech in favour of Ministers, which was imperfectly heard. Sir GEORGE fully confirmed, however, an observation which we made in The Sun a few days ago. He said that our empire over India rested on opinion ; and that if we suffered commercial degradation in China, and took no steps to maintain our trade, we should lose our Indian empire. Such a sentiment, and coming from so high an authority, will have its weight with the nation, and induce it to be very c autious how it c h ec k s an expe di t i on , t h e f a il ure of which •l might destroy our power in Asia. The debate i was git adjourned.' The House was generally well filled through the evening, and at the close was crowded. The question excites great interest in the House as well as in the country. We think the Ministers had completely the advan tage in the debate. Their opponents made no appeal to the immorality of the trade in opium. As Mr. MACAULAY said, the same measures to demand repara tion would be carried forward though the men were changed. The To:ies, therefore, who are as ready for the war as their opponents, will not be supported by Mr. Sr URGE'S party. With reference to this factious proceeding of the Tory landlords, we must remark that it is very easy to be wise alter the events, but not so easy to foresee and provide for them. It is easy enough also, as Mr. MACAULAY explained, in looking back for five years over a series of events, to say, had this been done or that omitted, the result wou:d have been different ; it is easy enough to find fault, but it is not so easy to prove how the thing could be better done, and how any Government in England could avoid the contest wh'eli the Chinese authorities, from a dread and hatred of the red-haired barbarians, have begun. Neither Sir JAME S M GRAHAM nor Sir WILLIAFoLLETT explained how power could be conveyed from England to the Super intendent at Canton, nor what were the in.tructions he ought to have received. Under the India monopoly a power was created which the abolition of that mono poly destroyed designedly, and to revive the license system would be to restore it. A fleet of ships could not bring back that power, and would he sure to involve us in war. Till these gentlemen explain by what means power can be conveyed to the Superintendent, and till they describe what instructions are requisite, ore shall treat their complaints as were factious deela mltion, intended merely to damage their opponents, not to serve their country. We bag leave to recommend Mr. MACAULAY'S stirring speech to a careful perusal. We have received a file of the Ceylon Herald to the latter end of December, in looking over which we find numerous complaints of the administration of justice in the District Courts of that colony. In the Supreme Court the business appears to be con ducted very creditably ; but the acting Justices of the District Courts are represented as vouna men with little experience, and no knowledge 0f law, and whose decisions, when they take it into their heads to decide at all, which seems to be very sel dom, are invariably guided by the r ecommen d at i on of the Proctors of the Cou rts. calls for s e rious inquil y. Justice at least ju s ti ce This complai n t impartially, promptly, and e fficiently administered, is the birthright of every British subject. as the rest of his ---.....--- Sir JAMES GRAHAM last night reminded the house of Commons, by referring to the Chit:a Bill brought in by Lord PALMERSTON in 1838, that the Ministers had not been so inattentive to our relations with China jects within his his resolution affirms. That Bill was intended to give speech was directed to prove, and as more power to the Superintendent, namely, the power of deciding in civil causes between her Majesty's sub. of that all was Mr. 'HAWES in the name of Si r jurisdiction. The p rincipal opponent Grotto': STALINToN, on the ground that it was per reedy useless, and even mischievous to establish anv power in China without the consent of the Chinese Govern ment. It was then expressly stated that the Americans carried on their trade without any such power, either civil or criminal. 'Pallowin; Sir GrORGE STAUNTON, ~tid rPlyilii: on his autliorit;., Sir .1.4:,1Y.F.• Ga.ktia:u, and for a miiiiikAr ry.a:44)n, alsu opposrd the , Bill. (;liAtiAM tll,Ol acid. a,: a re::-.11 f'or ."1)1 10 'i"if Ole 11:11, that he decidedly considered that the clauses of the Act o f 18 33 , to w hi c h h e W as a art y o n the Superinten- , and which enabled the Government to confer powper dent,' were unnecessary, and it w ould be highly inexpe dient to extend their operation." Then the Right Hon. Baronet disclaimed giving more p o wer to the Superinten dent, and stopped Lord PAL3ILRSTON from doing so . :Now he finds fault with the Noble Lord for not hiving done what Sir JAMES in 1838 would not allow him t o do. Sir JAMES, in support of his view, " asked the Noble Lord," according to Hansard, " whether he did not think it prudent to wait for further accounts from China before he called on the House, at that late entreaties the Bill. and This ; on July 28, 183$, subseque nt to which ti me the such was period of the Session, to pass a measure whi c h might interfere with commercial relations which w ere every day becoming more important, and which h a d been the source of great prosperity." Lord PAL MER - BTON, opposition,in gave consequence iv4y,an d o f withdrew su such h conduct of Lord PALMERSTON is not condemned. And now Sir JAMES GRAHAM blames the Noble Lord for not giving greater power to the Superintendent. The impudent renegade! as shameless as the:drunken Greenwich pensioner, described by Captain MARRY ATT " Poor Jack ;" with his coat turned inside out, for disorder and drunkenness, he assures the credulous that yellow is the colour of honour, and brazens it out that a punishment is a reward. Sir JAMES dwelt very much on the Duke of WEL IANGToN's memorandum, which, in fact, was the soul of the lumberi ng_ body of or.ltory he draped on the floor of the House of Commons. But that des patch was dated early in 1835, and though in July, 1833, Sir JAMES had not sat for twelve hours in the same Cabinst with the Duke of WELLINGTON, he was then intimate enough with the Tories to be well ile quainted with their views. Why then did he not bring forward that memorandum in 1838 ? If he were net acquainted with it, Sir ROBERT PEEL undoubtedly was ; and why did he—why did the whole Tory party allow such patriotic wisdom to be buried for three years, only now to be disentombed? Why did these pr triot Tories, with their wonderful foresight and knowledge, allow the affairs of China to be, as they now say, tnis e:nducted for four years, and never open their mouths? The answer is obvious. They care nothing for the country, nothing for its best interests—(or, if the Duke of WELLINGTON has not yet forgotten his early attach m lit, it is now stifled by party passions inspired by low-minded party followers)—and only bring forward their hidden and obscure wisdom, when it may damage a rival. The speech of Sir JAMES GRAHAM is the severest censure we have read for some time of the conduct of the Tories ; as Sir Wm. FOLLETT'S speech was nothing but a bitter condemnation of that first Order of Council issued under the Act of 1833, for which his friend Sir JAMES GRAHAM is responsible, if he were not its author. It is with the utmost pain we refer to the proceed inzs in the House of Lords last night, because we see souse of the leading men in that place inclined to back the bench of Bishops in an attempt which, if successful, will, to a cer t a i n ty, l ea d t o t h e l as t i ns urrection against Monarchy in Canada. The Legislature of Upper Canada were anxious to have the Clergy Reserves and the proceeds set apart for the purposes of educa tion ; but in order to preserve peace, they passed a Bill reserving them for the Clergy of the principal sects in that country. This, however, will not satisfy the Bishop of EXETER, nor the Bishop of LONDON, nor the meek and gentle Archbishop of CANTERBURY, who is led on and supported by these dangerous and encroaching Prelates. They claim as their right the whole of the Reserves for the Clergy of not one-fourth part of the population ; they throw the Catholics, Wesleyans, and even the Protestants of the Church of Scot land overboard, as if, by the infatuation of the ALMIGHTY, they were destined to excite the hos tility of all classes, and be the instruments in his hands of humbling and finally destroying this overgrown and insolent Church. The Catholics, though it is more Catholic than any Protestant Church, it denounces as the enemies of GOD and man. The Scotch Church, it declares is no church--their very clergy have not received ordination, and conse coon* they have usurped the holy functions of the ministry ; and rather than allow these to share in the provision sat apart for the clergy, it will excite, as it has often excited in Ireland, a bloody civil war in Canada. WELLINGTON and RIPON, and many others, are favourable to their views ; they are fighting the battles of the Sympathizers on the American fron tier—they are aiding and abetting the enemies of Eng land, and taking the most effectual step to make the whole population of Canada throw themselves into the arms of the United States. If the Bench of Bishops prevail, they will have the merit of settling the affairs of Canada. We shall have no trouble about the Eastern Boundary. The accounts of last night's dis cussion will rouse the indignation of the whole popula tion of our American Colonies, and the first announce ment of the victory the Bishops will be the signal for throwing off the English yoke. The people of the United States rebelled because England would impose a small duty on their tea. Will men of the same race, with the same blood in their veins, and with the same independent spirit, stand patiently by while England imposes on them a Church ? Well might the Tory Lord ASHBURTON exclaim, " You might as well at tempt to plant the English Church in the moon." Men of sober sense among the Tories see the dangerous game which the Bishops arc playing. They will by and bye see the danger to our institutions of allowing a med dling and insolent priesthood to interfere in political affairs, and, we trust, will in time concur with the friends of liberty, peace, and religion, in the propriety of removing the grasping, insatiable Bishops from the House of Lords. There is no news of any interest in the Paris Papers of Monday. M. DE MALLEVILLE, the Under-Secre tary of State to the Minister of the Interior, has re signed that office, finding its duties incompatible with those of Secretary of th Chamber of Deputies, which he continues to hold. This unexpected vacancy has caused a great stir in the ranks of the Opposition. The rival candidates are M. BERGER, supported by the Mi nistry ; and M. QUESNAULT, the chosen of the " 221," or Tory party. It was to be decided by a vote of the Chamber on Tuesda). 'fhe Duke DE SENA CAPRIOLA, Neapolitan Minis ter to the Court of France, has left Naples for Paris. Count PAULEN, Russian Minister to the French Court, had reached Berlin on the Ist instant, on his way to the French capital. The return of the Count to the French Embassy was insisted upon by M. TIMERS. On the 16th ult. Prince MictiAEL of Servia was so• lemnly invested with the insignia of his Viceregal rank. All the Notables of the Principality attended to hear read the Imperial finnan, and to do homage to the youthful Sovereign. The Madrid Papers received are of the 30th ult. Their contents are not of the slightest political impo:- tance. We subjoin the only extracts from the French Jou:- nals of any interest : The Temps publishes the following returns of sulphur exported from the entrepot of Girgenti, in Sicily, between the Ist of May and the 31st of December, 1839:—Lon. don, 4,920 cantari; Liverpool, 4,650; Falmouth, 26,705; Rouen, 17.580 ; Marseilles, 74,294. The French Com pany, it add:, possesses in store at the present moment more than 450,000 cantari. The journal L'Outre-Mer says—" We are assured that the Minister of Marine has chosen Captain Duval d'Ailly to succeed Rear-Admiral Moges, as Governor of Alas. tiaigne, M. Duval d'Ailly was Governor of 13Jurboo in 1810. It is not known whether he will accept the post that has been offered to him." A letter from Marshal Clauzel, pub!ished in two jour nals, has for its object to contradict the opinion ascribed to him by the Presse, that the presence of the Princes was an inconvenience and an obstacle at the time of the expe lition to Mascara and Constantine. " This assertion,"says the Marshal, "is totally false. So long as I had the honour to have with me the Duke of O , tears, in the expe dition to Mascara, and the Duke of Nemours in the ex pedition to Constantine, they rivalled the bravest in cou rage, coolness, and energy; and when Princes conduct themselves in this manner in the presence of the enemy, far from being an embarrassment, they are powerful auxiliaries to the General invested with the common.] in chief." The Serdiizelle des Pyrenees was seized at the Post-eine, on the 316 t of March. The editor of that journal has appLared before the Age telnstruction. He is accused of an offence against the inviolability of the King, ar,d of exciting to the overthrow of the Government. An important arrest took place at Valence on the 30th of March, as is reported, of an aide-du camp, or at least an emissary of Cabrera, sent on a secret mission to the little coat at Bourges.—Le Constilutionnel.

It is not a little singular that on the same evening, about tour o'clock, another fire was discovered in Alonkham Wood Forest, near the toll-bar at Woodford, the freehold pro perty of Bruce Pearce, Esq., and upwards of an acre and a half of surface, consisting of underwood, was to'ally destroyed.

Gover norand the Caffre Chiefs, Botman, Maromo, and Tyali. It was generally believed that Colonel Hope was about to exhibit his authority to these Chiefs so as to prove he was determined not to b-2 trifled with but alas he appeared to shrink into insigni ficance before these swarthy Princes. His Honour com menced by taking Botman to task for some murders and assaults which had been committed by his people, and read over an awful list of depredations to the Chiefs, and intimated that some alteration must be made in the treaties. To this the Chief replied, with the utmost non chalance, that any alteration in the treaties would be con sidered a declaration of war. His Honour appeared abashed at this reply, and immediately exclaimed that he would forgive all that was past, but they :must promise to commit no more crimes. Tyali, upon whose countenance a significant, half suppressed smile of contempt was evident, nodded assent. Tyali, in his usual bold manner took his Honour to task re lative to a trial of three of his Caffres for stealing a horse, who were convicted before Mr. West. In fine, to show the contempt with which they treated our representative, they began to question him, and to charge him with a br..ach of faith in not giving up some white ladies for their wives, and demanded compensation for such conduct ; and thus ended one of the most extraordinary meetings ever assembled.

NEW STEAM VESSEL.—Experiments are in the course of being tried with the model of an eatirely new form of steam vessel, and, as far as they hai4 yet gone, with every prospect of a successful result. At present we can only state of this remarkable invention, that there are na paddle wheels, nor external works of any kind. The whole machinery is in the hold of the vessel, where a horizontal wheel is moved by the power of steam, and, acting upon a current of water, admitted by the bow and thrown off at the stern, propels the in-se at a rapid rate. By a very simple contrivance of stop cocks, &c. on the apparatus, the steamer can be turned on either course, retarded, stopped, or have her motion reversed. This will be literally a revolution in the art of steam navigation.— ..Hampshire Advertiser. A fine specimen of that rare bird, the Falco Pe regrinus of Lin, was lately shot at Walloch Crag, near the lake of Hawes Water, by William Graham, gamekeeper to the Earl of Lonsdale.

GENEROSITY OF JOURNEYMEN --The jour neymen of this country are remarkable for the promptitude with which they come forward to assist their fellow-workmen in distress. Indeed, we think it would not be possible to name any trade among the men employed in which there is not some charitable institution, the object of w hi c h i s t h e relief of the unfortunate, th e sick, the widow, and the orphan. Yid how often is this generosity abused ! for we see the honest, sober, and in:!ustrious man make any sacrifice, and deny himself and his family every indulgence, rather than apply Icy assistance, while the idle, the dissipated, and unprineipled, are the first to avail themselves of a fund which ought to be sacred to mis fortune, OUR Cuuncur.—There is at present one of kingdom, in the Established Church, eleven livings, n i t ncomes which is v. orth 101. a year; 986 clergymen, whose icomes are are between 10/, and 50/. a-year ; 1,629, in this t b , e y t e l e v n eer oo Soz. a a a n d d 2 l o o C o l / . . aa year, and 2,956, w h " o .h s o e s i e ncom es are be- SPIRIT!
