The Bill For Suppressing Unlawful Associations of Ireland
was last night read a third time and passed, after a debate
of some warmth and interest. We can at this moment only
refer our readers briefly to the debate itself, for the in-
formation they may derive respecting it. On the third
reading a division was called for by the opponents of the
Bill, When the numbers were declared by the Tellers to
be—Ayes, 226 ; Noes, 96 ; leaving a surplus majority of
130 votes in favour of the measure. In this way has
one House of Parliament made known its judgment on the
expediency of continuing to tolerate those political knots
and clubs, acting on exclusive principles, which, in all
disturbed 0/11•0411; in all agitated countries, have been
found to be the most active end powerful instruments of
mischief. That the judgment of the House of Commons
it that of the people of England, we boldly affirm ; and
mine, we beliPte, know this feet better than those
who have roost loudly rased their voices against the
13.11. We have at least this negative presumption
against them—that with all this fondness for public
meetings, they have not dared to rail together any
portion of the inhabitants of the metropolic to petition against
the Bill. When before was there ever so touch breath
wasted in St. Stephen's, without even a meeting at the
Crown and Anchor, or a ringle oration from Mr. GALL
JON ES or the Blacking-maker on the fall of our constitu-
tional freedom? As a (fernier resort, Mr. O'Cos N ELL and
Mr. Sit et T. will make an appeal this morning to the " gene-
rous and magnanimous people of England," which failing.
as it requires no gift of prophecy to foretel it will, the de-
putation will, in due course return home, and abuse cold,
selfish, base, and immoral John Bull, as heartily as they
did three months ago. Beyond that point we rlefy them
to go, and as they must be praising or vilifying somebody,
they cannot be mere harmlessly employed than in attacking
our national character.

Yesterday was settling day in the English market, but,
like the last, it passed off as quietly as a:iv other. Consols in
the early part of the morning were rattier heavy; but to-
war{], the close of the market they recovered and left off at
94 for money, and 94} for the account. The Foreign
market was for the most part steady ; New Brazilian kept
its price at 48 ; Mexican was 31 4; Greek Scrip was done
at 1, and Spanish Bonds were steady at 44 ; Pasco Peruvian
Mining Sham were up again ; at one time they reached
45j; they closed at 434; the Mines were all steady; the
parties interested in these securities, appear to have lost all
apprehension about the Chancellor's long-looked-for Bill.
Speculations do not now exclusively attach to the Stock
Exchange. The Colonial Mart in Mincing-lane, is equally
a scene of adventure. Money and account prices are
quoted, and we may shortly look for as regular settling days
there, as in 'Change-alley. Sugar yesterday advancedSs. per
cwt., by reason, it was said, of large orders being received
from llamburgh, and from the expectation that the crop
in Brazil would fail. Speculators were in consequence
busy, but the principal purchases were made by regular
merchants, with a view to prevent, s► moth es possible,
the produce from getting into the hands of the jobbers.

Miss M—, a young heiress of considerable personal
attractions, chanced to be seated the other evening at a
dinner party, next to a gentleman remarkable in the fashion-
able circles for the brilliancy of his wit, who had long made
one in the train of her admirers. The conversation turning
on the uncertainty of life, " I mean to innee mine," said
the yowig lady archly, "in the Hupe." " In the hope
of what?" said her admirer; "a single life is hardly
worth insuring; I propose that we should insure our lives
together, and if you have no objection, I should prefer the
Alliance." .

PATRONL—Patrons are but too apt to reward their au-
thors with compliments, when they want bread. Sor-
biere being treated in this manner by his friend, Pope'
Clement IX. is said to have complained in the following
humorous terms:—" Must Holy lather, you giro ruffles
to a man who is without a shirt."
Report bas sent a highly respected Magistrate, and the
only son of a Doctor in Divinity (both residents in this
neighbourhood), to Havre, to terminate, by duel, a quarrel
which it is said subsisted between the Rev. Doctor himself
and the above Magistrate. The origin of the quarrel is
thus stated :—The Rev. Doctor raspected that a labourer
in the employ of the worthy Magistrate had made too free
with his (the Doctor's) game, and without mentioning a
word of his suspicion to the said Magistrate, he applied to
another Magistrate, residing at a distance, and obtained a
search-warrant, which he put in execution. This excited
the angry feelings of the first-named Magistrate, and cal-
culating on the result, the Reverend Doctor contrived to
get him bound over, in a heavy penalty, to keep the peace.
Shortly afterwards the Maristrate came in contact with
the son of the Reverend Doctor, who he conceived had
Leen acting in concert with bis father, and to whom he
spoke in plain terms, what he thought of the conduct of
both his father and himself. A challenge was the conse-
onence ; and on Tuesday last, it is said, the parties, with
their respective seconds, proceeded by way of Southampton
for Havre.—Devizes Gazette.
