The Peers, meetingon yesterd few petitions, were informed by L ?Y o , r after receiving a A dCit A R L EV IL L E that the Sheriff of Galway, Lord Tors, had be come a Peer, and he wished to knew whether a Peer could perform the duties of a High Sheriff? Lord NORMANDY said the case was one of some no velty, but he was not prepared to give an opinionon it. The Colonial Passengers Bill was read a second time, Met. Lord BROUGHAM had said a few words appr ov i ng of the c l auses re l a ti ve t o the Hill Coolies havi ng b ee f, omitted,and after Lord ASHBURTON had expressed an opinion that something ought to be done to procure a supply of labour for our sugar colonies. The Judge of the Admiralty Courts Bill was also read a second time, after Lord BROUGHAM had ex pressed his approbation of the Bill, now that it had a clause disqualifying the Judge from sitting in Parlia ment. The Church Discipline Bill was read a second time, with the approbation of all parties. Some other mea sures were forwarded, as if their Lordships were now disposed to do business, and their Lordships adjourned. In the House of Commons a petition from Limerick, reflectin g on the stone chosen for building the new Houses of Parliament, and praising that of the Bally shannon quarries, which though offered was not ac cepted, occasioned a short discussion, but it was ordered to be printed. The Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill was put off till kfonday, Lord JOHN RUSSELL having more important alterations to make in it. Several notices were given, and several questions asked, which .are shortly stated in the report. The House went into a Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill. On the first clause, Mr. E\VART rose to move for a reduction of the duty on foreign sugar from 64 5 . t o 345. per hundred-weight. Mr. Lw ART supported the mo tion by a long and able speech. He showed that the demand for sugar was increased in consequence of a change in the habits of the people, and the consump tion diminished in consequence of a diminished importa tion, that the stock in hand was totally inadequate to supply the demand, and that reducing the duty would secure a better and cheaper article to the consumer, would increase the revenue, and would extend com- mercc. Mr. THORNELY supported the motion. Mr. L ABOUCHERE opposed it. He admitted the importance of the question, and the shortness of the supply of sugar ; but the question was not a simple one ; and while the people petitioned to reduce the duty on free-labour sugar, Mr. EwanT proposed to reduce it indiscriminately on the foreign sugar. He said that the prayer of the petitioners for the admission of free-labour sugar could not be granted without violating existing treaties between England and the United States, and between England and the Brazils. The people required that the e mancipation expssriment should be fairly tried, which would not be the case if, when the Colonies were struggling for exist ence, foreign sugars should be admitted into this country. Mr. HUNIE said on one night the House voted against the Colonies getting labourers, and on the next voted against the country getting any sugar but . what those Colonies supplied. He suppo rted the mot:on. Mr. HAWES also supported the motion. Sir S. LUSHINGTON opposed the motion, as encou raging slavery and the slave trade. He seems to have caught fire from the Convention, and doomed the people of Engl n 1, with right good will, to the want of sugar, in order to keep the slave trade in check. Never did a nation pay so much for the cause of humanity, as the English hale paid, and are paying, for the abolition of slavery. There are, however, many of them who are most unwilling c ntributors to the payment. Mr. A. CHAPMAN opposed the motion on behalf of the shipping interest. Mr. O'CONNELL opposed it because it would promote slavery. Mr. VILLIERS supported it on behalf of the people, who should not always be sacrified. Mr. GLADSTONE thought those who supported the motion were inconsistent, and he should a ote against it. On a division it was lost by 122 to 27, and the Bill went through a Committee. Th House the i went into a Committee on the Constabulary Bill. The Report to be received nest 'Thursday. Tne Chimney Sweepers' Bill subsequently went through a Committee, after some opposition to the elai 333, and a division ce leaving the cord " rebuilt" out of one clause, which was ordered to be retained. Th Report is to be brought up to-day. The House sat till One o'Clock. The public hears continually from the tithe and Church-rate-loving parsons, that the Roman Ca- 1 tholic religion sanctions perjury, and promotes every species of immorality. It is denounced at Exeter Hall as idolatry, and as the mother of su perstition, profaneness, and iniquity. All these accusations, if founded in fact, are grossly exag gerated by the Anglican priesthood, for the purpose of exalting themselves at the expense of the Ca tholic clergy. Admitting, however, that the Catholic religion is a dark as the priests of the An glican Church paint it, we wish to be inforned, and the public requires to be informed, what arc the essential differences between the two, Romish and Anglican, Churches, so that one is the parent of virtue, and the other the parent of vice. Will any calm and rational person point out the prin ciples which make one the source of incalculable mischief, and the other the source of unspeakable blessings ? Both are Christian Churches, and differ so little in the faith they inculcate, that it requires a sharp and practised theological understanding to ascertain the minute points on which they do not agree. Both acknowledge the divinity of the Saviour, both found their claims to credit on his miracles, both adopt the great doctriHes of original sin and of the atonement, both believe in the fact of the resurrec tion and the redemption of mankind. Agreeing on these great leading principles of Christianity they differ as to the interpretation of some few passages of Scripture, in extending the divinity of the Son to the Mother, in adopting or not some visible signs of their faith, and in affirming or denying the real presence. But these are such comparative trifles compared to the great points on which they agree, that whatever can be said of the influence of one over the hearts and understandings, ;over the affec tions and morality of mankind, may with certainty be predicated of the other. Their resemblance is much more clear, and their differences much less, than the agreement and difference of the French and English Governments, and 'yet no one affirms that the Government is in one country exclusively a source of benefit, and in the other of mischief. Now, as to the discipline of these Churches: one is derived from the other, and retains almost all its features. The orders of its priesthood are nearly the same ; they underwent little alteration at the Reformation. A few monks and nuns, abbots and abbesses, were knocked off; but all the priests who were retained, and all whom we now have, were in the Romish Church, and were preserved fiom it. They are paid, too, by tithes, oblations, gifts, and alms just like the Popish priesthood, though they scarcely do as much work for their money. The ritual and practices of both Churches bear a close resemblance. Both have preaching and pray ing on Sunday—both observe saints'-days and holidays—both enjoin the saying and the repeti tion of prayers, which seem rather a mockery both of the creature and the Creator than the correct expression of man's feelings towards his Maker on his wants. Both draw, as Churches, all the in struction they impart from the same books, and neither travels beyond their bounds for the morality it teaches. Now, when the resemblance in principles is so exact, when the two so closely agree in doctrines and discipline, it seems to us very injudicious in the Anglican priesthood continually to throw so much dirt on the Catholic Church. Every spot they make on it is a stain on their common Christianity. Every imputation they heap on the Catholic priesthood applies equally to themselves. Every stigma they cast on the faith and on the morality of the Papists reflects discredit on the faith and morality of the Anglican Church. Mr. PLUM P TRE may conscientiously refuse to vote money for the Catholic Church, but his conscience must be made of extraordinary stuff if he do not at the same time vote to withdraw every farthing now given by the State, tithes and all, from the very similar Church of England. We are unable, on any principle of con science, to reconcile the prostration of the understanding in our statesmen to the English priesthood, and their fierce hostility to the Roman Catholic priesthood, unless it ':,e a conviction that they committed a gr(L 5 towards the latter, which they " ustice seek to hi,le by abuse. They first plunder , :,, Chem, imposed cruel laws on them, and 11:.,w, as a self-justification, they abuse them. Weak persons like Mr. PLUMPTRE, and his (1 - rends, have probably another ground of hostility. They envy the Catholics the confes sional, by which they get rid of the uneasiness of sin, and they envy them the consolation which is derived from the absolution pronounced by a priest, whom Catholics and good Churchmen equally believe to be clothed with Divine authority. What they are really angry at, is the want of resem blance in those points to the Catholic Church, and its great superiority ; but these defects in the English Church Dr. PUS EY and his friends are zealously employed in correcting, their exer tions corresponding to a very general sentimeot amongst Churchmen, that the Anglican priesthood cannot give that consolation to sinners which the confessional and the power of absolution enable the Papal priesthood to bestow, and they arc stea dily resolved to supply the deficiency. The mann er i n w hi c h the investigations r e l a ti ve to the murder of Lord WiLLIANt•itussELL have been carried on, and the ample confession made by tiihkeemwisoenradeblr o o culprit, have p u t an en d to anyt hi ng r surprise, comm itt that committed within so a f e many a ,, c v t acts of years, similar character, still remain undiscovered. Notwithstanding all the boasted exertions of the police, the numbe r o f Ma gistrates, p o li ce Commissioners inspectors, cons'ahles, th a t fl ocked to the house, and the and strict surveillance which it was said the police authorities kept over the suspected party, up to th e commence ment of the trial, universal belief prevailed that no evi dence had been obtained which would warrant a jury in returning a verdict of guilty. The damnin g fact, indeed, was discovered by accident, w hil e, had any thing like common sense or sagacity been displayed, the murderer might have been discover e d in a few hours after the police had been called in. Some of the police, indeed (so strongly impressed were they that CoußvolslEß was the murderer), di s _ tinctly charged him with the deed, yet, strang e to say, they allowed the criminal for three days to wander about the house, and conceal in variou s places property which would at once have decided his guilt. " The watch," says the convict in his confession, " I had by me until Friday morning. I then burnt the ribbon, and put the watch under the lead in the sink. When I wa s celled THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1840. to go down to the pantry, I let the seal fall, and put my foot upon it, and afterwards put it behind the water-pipe in the scullery." All this watching, it appears, was a mere mockery. And why did they watch him? Because they had good reason to suspect him ; yet, notwithstanding that, it never entered into their precious heads to search his per son. But it is needless to give more details. One half of this confession consists of proofs undeniable that no investigation ever undertaken could have been carried on in a more stupid, bungling, and careless manner. With such agents to discover murder, life would be as safc in the wilds of Africa as in this civilized country. The Morning Post announces the " suspension of two more Joint Stock Banks," and on their failure, grounds a panegyric of the greatest of all d Joint Stock Banks, which stoppe payment for years, and which has been totally unable at any period within the last few years to pay its notes on demand ; which has been upheld by the Government rather than by the gold in its coffers ; which has borrowed 18,000,000/. sterling of the public, promising to pay it on demand, and has not had the fourth part of that sum in its coffers to pay with, had any demand been made on it, and which consequently owes its existence to the forbearance of its creditors, not to its own good management. Whatever recommendation the Committee of the House of Commons, which is sitting to inquire into banking, may give, it will not do justice to the public if it do not present the Bank of Eng land monopoly as a nuisance which ought to be abated. On this subject an excellent and a well-timed pamphlet, entitled " A Defence of Joint Stock Banks and Country Issues," has recently been published by the author of "M oney, and its Vicis situdes in Value," a gentleman well known amongst political economists as a sound and vigorous thinker. We shall content ourselves now with quoting from Mr. BAILEY'S pamphlet the con cluding: observations, which—corresponding with those of all scientific inquirers before the science of political economy was debauched by an unhallo xed connection with money-jobbers—may be said to ex press deductions from the most enlarged experience. " The effect of taking away the power of issuing pros missory notes frcm the Country Bank!, would be to de prive the districts in which they are situated, not only of a species of currency to which they are attached, but of the command of capital to nearly the amount of their present circulation. By the use of local notes these districts are now in the enjoyment of at least nine millions sterling, which would then be vvithdraww from them : they are just as fully in the enjoyment of this capital as if, wickr a metallic currency, the amount were lent in specie to the Country Banks without security and without interest. Withdraw it, and one of the immediate consequences of the measure would be a check to industry, a loss of confi dence, and a fall of prices highly detrimental to the com munity. " It must be some very great and indisputably prepon derant benefit, indeed, which could justify any attempt to deprive the provinees of such an advantage and to inflict upon them such evils. No preponderant benefit of this nature is presented by any suggestion which has yet been made. The consignment of the whole circulation of the country to the Bank of England, or any other body asso ciated together for lucrative objects, would not for a mo ment bo listened to by the nation. To a National Bank of issue, if intended to engross the whole circulation, there would be the same main objections, although unac companied by some of - the grounds of resistance to con ferrina a similar monopoly upon the Bank of England. " The desire of some such change seems to proeeed from a hypothetical notion that there is a necessity for sub. jecting the amount or quantity of the currency to regula tion—a notion engendered probably by long habit and im perfect institutions. The more the subject is considered, the more clearly I am inclined to believe it will be dis covered, that any system which involves the necessity of any arbitrary, speculative, or deliberate adjustment of the sum total of a credit note currency to the supposed com mercial condition of the country is essentially wrong ; on the same grounds that it would be a mischievous arrange ment!which imposed on any Government or assigned to any Board of Commissioners the task of regulating the quantity of a currency which wholly consisted of the pre cious metals. " No principle can be depended upon for the nice ad justment of the currency to the wants of the people, but that play of interests in which we unhesitatingly confide for the adequate supply of all the other necessaries, com forts, and conveniencies of life." There is no news of the slightest political interest in the Paris Journals of Wednesday. The Constitutionnel has a Iptter from Mostaganem, which states that a for midable rival to ABD..EL-KADER. has appeared in the person of a Marabout, noted for his great sanctity, and who has taken under his protection the tribes oppressed by the EMIR. The writer infers that a division of the Arab strength will bethe consequence, which must faci litate the triumph of the French. The two Spanish QUEENS arrived safely at Saragossa on the 18th. Her Majesty the REGENT had signified her determination to visit the Basque Provinces before her return to the capital, and to be present at the anni versary of the celebration of the Treaty of Bergara, on the 31st of August. Her MAJESTY will visit San Se bastian, Vittorio, Bilboa, and all the other principal cities and towns north of the Ebro. The Castellano, a Madrid paper, publishes the fol lowing confirmation of the account received by tele graph of the attempt of the Carlists to seize the two QUEENS and their retinue : SIOWENZA, JUNE 15.—0 n the:approach 0(3,000 infantry and 700 cavalry, our city was a prey to the greatest anxiety, but we hoped that as the Queen was to sleep at Medina celi, a column would be detached to pursue Palacios and Marconcel. Attacked by our troops, the rebels were dis persed. The infantry was put to the route completely; 1,317 prisoners have entered our town. The enemy left a great number of dead near Mogares and Alpuenza. The„Carlist cavalry abandoned the infantry, and retreated to join Balmaseda. CABRERA was at Berga, which he was deluging with blood. Among the latest victims were the Commander CASFAG NOLA, Captain CORRETJA, the Physician-Gc neral SAQUES, and Rose D'EnoLE's brother-in-law, RIBOT, Adjutant of the Staff. A letter from Toulon of the 19th says : " The extraor dinary bustle which is observed in our roads and in the port is occasioned by, the v :ry pressing order for the dc. parture of the vessels which are to proceed to the Buenos Ayres. These vessels, the two steamers, the Styx,land the Tonnere, which are arming as ships of war; and the transports Agathe and Tarn. These two transports will take on board a part of the 3,000 men riluired by Admi ral 13audin. The Prince de Joinville leaves Paris on the 24th, to proceed to Toulon.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES.---THURSDAY. The second day here, as at:Epsom, is always considered the most attractive, and, although the promise of sport did not merit any particular distinction, as there were but two races an nounced, yet the anticipation of a large assemblage was fully realised, and the company was not only numerous, but highly respectable. The weather was not so favourable as on Wednes day—a few flying showers creating no small alarm, although no serious mischief. The roads down presented the usual diver sity of travellers ; but the display of aristocratic carriages, in cluding a goodly turn-out of the " four-in-hand" professors, was equal to any former meeting. The line of vehicles on each side of the course was treble deep, and extended from end to end. Among others whom we noticed in the throng were—Lords Chesterfield, Stradbroke, Macdonald, Shelburne, Southamp ton, and Waldeo ° Tave ; Sirs G. Heathcote and W. W. Wynn ; Hon. Colonel Anson, Hon. W. Bagot, Hon. Captain Rous, Colonel Isdney, Colonel Peel ; Messrs. Greville, Payne, Dol phin, Stanhope, King, Caldecott, &c.

In our report of Wednesday's races, the figures for the fourth heat of the Strawberry Hill Stakes were accidentally omitted ; it nas won by Tenebrosa, Dromedary second, and the Camel colt third. The match between Mr. King's Appleton Lass (Sly) and Mr. Jones's Pcterel, was won cleverly by the former. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

YORK, JUNE 24, 1840.—Mr. Dundas, the present M.P. for this city, having signified his intention to withdraw himself from tl-e representation thereof at the next elec tion, 11. R. Yorke, Esq.. made a public entry hero this evening, preceded by a band of music and a gorgeous ban ner, accompanied by an immense concourse of freemen end vo•ers. The carriage drew up at Lockwood's Hotel, when immediately Mr. Yorke was introduced to the free men by Sir John Simpson in a brief speech. Mr. Yorke was received most enthusiastically, and after the applause subsided, entered into the line of policy he meant to pursuo in the event of his being returned as a Member for York. The Corn-laws he would cause a searching inquiry into. The shortening of the duration of Parliaments would have his sanction. Avowed himself of the Protestant religion, but not of that part of it caused by Acts of Parliament. The right of conscience he held paramount to every other consideration, as it was between man and his Maker. He was the poor man's friend ; their rights and privileges would have his ready support. The ballot should have his undivided attention, as he was a staunch friend thereof. Ireland had suffered long and patiently ; her wrongs be would, if possible, speedily redress. Mr. Yorke was heard most attentively for upwards of an hour ; and, although labouring under a cold, was extremely animated, and appeared to be perfectly master of the various other matters cursorily touched upon. He was a gentleman, and would not speak disparingly of the absent. Mr. Lowther (one of our present Members) he thought was a pains-taking kind of person. The bells rang a merry peal, and everything bore the aspect of an approaching election; many fancying that event not very far distant. I may add, that the march of intellect (hackneyed as the phrase now is) has evidently made progress here ; formerly at meetings of this descrip tion all was uproar, confusion, and worse. Now every one listens and gives his sanction or dissent to what he bears said, in a far more rational manner than I have ever before witnessed. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Madame Sala took &benefit last night at this theatre, which was crowded to excess. The pieces selected were the Lady of Lyons, A Kiss in the Dark, and The Culprit, in the last of which Madame Sala appeared in a character which used to be a favourite one at the St. James's Theatre, and in which last . night she was received with much applause. Be tween the first and second pieces a miscellaneous concert was introduced, in which Mr. Jarrett played on the horn, and M adame Sala, Miss Rainforth, Miss Ii orlon, Mademoiselle Parigiani, and Mr. Brizzi sang. Miss Rainforth introduced a new song, said in the Bill to have been composed by Prince Albert, called " Sounds aro in the Forest Dying," in which she accompanied herself on the piano.

The French were mingled with the English, and among all the greatest good humour pre vailed, All were delighted with the urbanity of the Governor, who allowed no guest to leave the rooms without receiving sonic testimony of his appreciation of the pleasure afforded by their presence. On the 27th ult. the 73d ievAtrtcnt had arrived at Montreal from Upper Canada. The 15th regiment hid at the same tine embarked for England.

Excellent crops were expected. HIGHLY INTERESTING.—THE FRESHET AT THE SOUTH. (From the Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle, May 30. GREAT. FRESTIET. —On Wednesday night, when our first notice of the freshet was penned, cur city was in the most painful state of excitement. Already had a considerable portion of the city been inundated, and the river continued to rise at a fearful rate. To attempt any description of a calamity so awfully sublime, would be worse than vain ; it required to be seen to comprehend its vast destructive capacity. About twelve o'clock on Wednesday night the city was completely submerged, and the river continuing to rise. Many families were still in their houses, en tirely surrounded by a current to them impassable without aid, and the water making rapid inroads upon them. From this fearful and alarming situation they were relieve:l by boats and horsemen, not, however, in some instances, until they were standing to their necks in water. In this work of philanthropy many of our citizens were engaged all night ; and in many instances it was perilous, as the street; in many places would swim the tallest horses. When the day dawned, our city appeared as if standing in the midst of a vast sea of water, which extended as far as the eye could reach, from the highest eminence. The destruction of property, both public and private, has been immense. The upper bridge has been entirely carried away, and about 300 or 400 feet of the lower one. Our citizens watched throughout the day on Wednesday, with almost p iinful anxiety the lower bridge, and the air sv As rent with shouts as they saw it withstand shock after shock, from mountains of rafts, mill and gin.houses, bridges , dwellings, and every class of tree from the small sapling to the sturdy oak of the forest, which had been washed up, and was borne away by the resistless force of the torrent. During Wednesday night the bridge gave way. Much cotton has floated out from the warehouses and was carried off, and hundreds of bales are for ever lost both in this city and Hamburgh. The precise quantity we know not, but suppose that at least one thousand bales Wl° been lost in the two places. One of the most thrilling incidents which occurreD that of a little girl, about 11 years of age, who was taken up in the middle of the river about twenty-five miles above the city, by Captain Joseph Staunton, of a I ) , terburgn boat. The story of the adventure of this little girl we have obtained from herself. She is the daughter of a poor wi dow, who lived on the river, near Ferguson's Ferry. She says the first intimation they hal of their danger, they:wer e surrounded by the river, when her mother, a d a ughterol fai de r than Eliza, two brothers younger than herself, and a th" ful dog, fled to the top of their little cottage, soon after which the house was taken off by the current. One after another they met a watery grave, Eliza and the dog only clinging to the wreck, when she came ie sight of th eboat of Captain S., and succeeded in making her cries heard. Captain S. immediately rowed hands, who were all asleep, and after pursuing her taboo three miles, overtook and rescued her and the dog fr o m their perilous situation. Captain S. says she was bed,tl few shingles, which were supported by a feather being all that was left of the house on which she started. on which frail bark :she hi d descended the river twelve miles when she was licked up. (From the Savannah Georgian, May 30.) All the mill-dams of which we have heard have been carried away. All the bridges on the carriage-roads have been sn'T e away, preventing the passage of the mail. Several of t.e. culverts on the railroad within fifty-six miles of the cal have been swept away, and it will be some days before the damage on the railroad is repaired so as to allow . 0 f t transmission of passengers and goods. ( From the Charleston Patriot, May 30.) COLUMBIA, MAY 28.—During the night it rained toga alarming extent. This morning the high bat ks were overflowed. Cotton, which was stowed on high grout 0, was floating down the canal. The destruction must be immense. Half. past three o'slock.—The water is about stationarys.' : TIIE LAST MURDERS IN FLORIDA.—By a letter, date Garey'a Ferry, May 25th, we have the following ,ac count of the melancholy scene that occurred on the r'; colata-road on the 23d. One waggon was coming out of St. Augustine and another going in ; both wagge r ': were attacked at about the same time, although ab out two miles apart, by parties of Indians, numbering ab",i fifteen each. They killed two men in one waggon, an' three in the other. The Indians plundered the wagg °l° of every thing; the one going in contained the wardrobe and articles belonging to Forbes's theatrical company' One of the actors, a Mr. Lyne, and a musician, riere of the number killed. One of the actors jumped out of t h e ' waggon and took to his heels • two of the Indians fol lowed in pursuit, fired at and missed him ; they then threw away_ their rifles and ran with their tomahawks, and wh e n they came up near him he di ew a Pistol he had , a nd tl would retreat. He thus kept them at bay for three miles, which enabled him to reach Fort Searle in safety—the In dians close on him. There were only six men there; About thirty Indians came up, dressed in the acto,estne dresses, and danced all round the place, challenging .. soldiers to fight, but they were too weak to sally on‘ The Indians remained on the ground nearly f ou r hours' they they packed two mules and one horse wish their piton and put off. An express went to town, the citizens turn _ out in hot pursuit, but did not reach the pl ice until an hour after the Indians left. They followed the trail t" Six-mile Creek, a little bolow Picolata, where t hey 111°w ,, the Indians had ;crossed. Fort Crane, near Ntwn 112`-- vine, was taken by the Indians, and all but one la? killed. The ladies of the theatrical corps went in the day previous.
