MARK-LANE.—THIS DAY.
A very short supply of Enkli.h Wheat, by land-carriage
samples, from the near counties, was taken off by the
millers at prices about equal to those of last Monday. The
quantity of foreign Wheat on sale from ship-board was too
large to admit of any advance being established; there
was, however, rather an improved safe for some descrip-
tions at late rates.

Choice qualities of Flour sell readily enough, and the
value of such is well supported. Secondary and inferior
sorts are very unsaleable.
Barley was in good request for feeding and distilling pur-
poses, and quite as dear.
The greater portion of the supply of foreign Oats reported
below came to hand in the early part of last week, and
were disposed of on Wednesilay Wilt Friday last ; C 011.41.
quently the display of samples this morning was moderate.
The turn in price was in fa% our of the seller, but was not
sufficient to warrant any alterition in quotations.
Beans and Peas brought rather more money.

LONDON, MONDAT, MAY 19.

AMIDST the shoals of Jesuits and Jesuitries,
spawned since the Papal aggression and the attempt
to legislate against it, there has been no specimen of
the enigmatic, the amphibious, and the insincere, so
portentous as that displayed in the speech of Mr.
Disaasti on Friday night. Such an attempt to
varnish over the bronze of religious indifference
with a coating of religious wallas not been wit-
nessed since the days of Caoserm.
Mr. DISRAELI, the leader of a Irma party in the
House of Commons, that party which most especially
to uphold the church and sympa-
rattestaith its every effort, and every peril :
tie leader of this party comes forward to declare
that he is decidedly opposed to everything that has
bets propped, whether by those who sit opposite or
by those who sit alongside of him, for repelling this
aggression. Ho scouts Lord ions ItessELL's bill, be-
cause it does too little, and majestically brushes
away Mr. WALPOLE'S amendments because they do
too much. This ecclesiastical aggression he is de-
termined to look upon exclusively in a political light,
and to avenge after a political fashion ; and by the
word political Mr. piquet! evidently means
Pickwickian, and nothing more.
His aim is to phraseologize, to assure fe protcs-
taste of his ardour, and the catholics of his lukewarm-
sea He would make political capital for the English
beatings by denouncing the ministerial bill as insuf-
ficient, and at the same time keep political capital
is Ireland by pooh-poohing and defeating all legis-
lation on the subject of the day, so as to Hatter that
Irish tail, on which the member for Bucks
sonata for his majority. Thus the tory leader
sacrifices Mr. WALPoLE to Mr. Motote, and
Sir Roemer INULIS to Mr. REYNOLDS. If Ireland
was PIEL's difficulty wee, it shall no longer be, as it
threatened, lirs.suifis difficulty ; for the protection-
ists have secured an alliance with that rump of
repeal which 'Astra. O'Cosset.t. himself, we will
be bound to say, would have had none of.
We were prepared for some shilly-shallying on the
part of Lord STANLEY--sorne manoeuvring on the
part of Mr. DISRAELI; but we were quite unpre-
pared for so barefaced and unprincipled a humbug as
this, on the part of men who are, in a few months
or weeks, to awe before the electors of England.
The papal aggression consisted of the assuming
and claiming of authority over portions of the king-
dom, and of territorial dignities attached to that
authority, without the consent or consultation of
either government or parliament, or of the Crown.
Such an assumption was intended to serve pur-
poses of propagandism and rivalry. It was
a precedent that might have been followed up
in a great variety of shapes. The cause of religious
liberty and of protcstantiam, the rights of the crown
and of parliament, all imperatively demanded that
these should be checked at once. Even if the pos-
sibility were admitted of one day allowing to the
Roman catholic hierarchy the supremacy and the
dignity it chinned, it was absolutely necessary not to
allow that, what might be a gracious cession, to be
ravished by sacerdotal impudence. The bill before
parliament does what it is imperative to do, and
what it would be both disgraceful and idiotic to omit
doing.
We can well conceive the objections of those who
are of the American school, and who look upon
church interest and state interest as things utterly
apart. They have reason in deprecating what runs
counter to the spirit of their ideas. We do not agree
with their view, because it is based on the future, not
the present, era state of things that is to be, or may
be, but which certainly does not exist. The
church of England is a fortress erected for the
defence of protustantism. Protestantism, we ad-
mit, may be defended without the fortress. But
if the resolve be taken to do so, let the
fortress he destroyed, its walls levelled, and its
moat filled up. For to abandon such defences
without destroying them, in order that they may be
occupied by the Homan catholic enemy, is not to
save protestantism, or to get rid of establishments,
bet to betray the one and to render the other im-
mortal.

A favourite cry with the younger Peelites, and
one that Mr. Diswieti humours, without developing
ottexploring, is that the religious difference was a
purely political one, and should be treated politically.
Mr. DisKAT.LI seizes on Lord JOHN RUSNELL'S
ad-
mission that the WISEMAN advent was but a part of
• great conspiracy against the civil and religious
liberties of Europe ; and he proposes, in consequence,
to take the matter out of the hands of Lord lons
RUssELL, of the prelates, and of the religious
communities, and to hand it over altogether to Lord
Patrzawroit. It was a political aggression, and
the Foreign Secretary should avenge it. What is
our Mediterranean fleet for? A vessel of war
could have taken WI4EMAN, and dung him
ashore at Civita, and blockaded that port, whilst a
more formidable fleet appeared before Ancona, and
threatened bombardment, unless it were forthwith
stipulated that the papal court should send us no
more legates uncalled for, and should waive its claim
to carve out the English territory.
Such things wo know cannot be done without
arousing all the rage of Austria, all the jealousy of
France, all the spite of Austria. If the Holy Alli-
ance was nearly resuscitated, and the continental
blockade again renewed by our defence of a Maltese
Jew in the waters of Athens, what would have been
the consequence of making a political affront of Car-
dinal WISEM te's aggression? It would cost us a
couple of millions in warlike preparations to com-
mence with. It would, in fact, have been from pure
caprice, creating a Kaffir war on the coast of Italy,
and on the coasts of Europe.
We must confess that when we consider and passin
review these and other crude proposals, indicating the
means which Peelites and protectionists would have
employed against papal aggression, in preference to
the present bill, we can see in these proposals of two
separate parties schemes of such incoherence, each
ichotcy, such impoliey, that they evidently could
be but the suggestions of tyros out donee, conscious
that the objections they uttered would serve to create
hesitation and mistrust, but could never recoil on
themselves from the utter impossibility of any m-
inima being putting them in practice. The greatest
=that has appeared of Lord STANLEY's and Mr.
ARLIN incapacity for office, and insincerity of
principle, is the nonsense, the hollowness, and the
ambiguity of all they utter upon this religious
question.
As to principle, it is difficult to sea to which the
STANLEY conservatives are more fa Protes-
tantism or to protection.

It has been settled by each of the three leading
parliamentary clubs of the majority that they will
each piesent a motion for the total revision of the
Constitinion couched in the same terms, but sup-
ported by a separate statement of the grounds.
Notwithstanding the animated opposition of the
legitimist fraction, headed by M. St. Priest and
M. Laboulie, tho Rue de Rivoli Club adopted last
night the motion of M. de Fallout, in favour of
total revision. . .

The Aseeneblee Nationale pronounces to-day in
favour of total revision. _

It is reported to-day that after animated dis-
cussions the committee of the doctoral union has
acceded to the instances of the Bonapartist Club of
the Rue Neuve St. Augustin for propagating peti-
tions for the revision, and consented to a " fusion "
with the latter. Although this sounds improbable, the
report has reached me from a respectable source.
The Mositest publishes the following semi-official
defence of M. Leon Faucher against the attacks of
the Press* :

The Minister of the Interior has refused to several muni-
cipal councils, which applied for it, the authorisation to
hold an extraordinary session to deliberate on the question
of revision of the constitution- Some ether municipal
councils, it is true, forgetting the formal prescriptions of the
law, have passed, in the course of their ordinary sessions,
resolutions favourable to the revision of the constitution.
But as soon all the minister was informed of these facts, he
gave orders to the prefects to annul in the councils of pre-
fecture these resolutions of the municipal councils to the
above effeet, which the councils themselves would not sup-
' press 3d. Leon Faucher has, therefore, the rare merit of
carrying no ;Not for legality so far as to strike the friends of
the government, who in order to serve it depart from the
prescriptions of the law.
Girardin, who keeps no the ball with unflagging
spirit, finds his task of filling the first page of the
Prease somewhat relieved to-day by Dr. eron's ar-
ticle in the CosaMistionnel in favour of abolishing
the law of May, which he quotes at full.
In another column of the Freese, alter printing a
fae-sinaile of the circulars, applying for subscriptions,
of the Rue Neuve St. Augustin Club, he says,
" Hem's my answer : I declare that I subscribe for
the sum of 500 G. to tho Club fur the abolition of
the low of May M."
The report on M. Ste. Beuve's free trade project
concludes for its rejection.

SCNDAT EVENING.

The government has receiveatelegmAlel-
- announcing the revolt of part of a regiment
of the line at Salines, in the department of the Jura,
in a socialist sense. The mutiny is said to have
been confined to two companies, which were speedily
disarmed, and order was restored.
