the Bill was within an ace of being thrown out on
the second reading, and has encountered to the
last a determined opposition in the Commons en-
tirely on private grounds. And what are these
grounds? Why, forsooth, the proposed railway will
interfere with a certain canal ! It will, it is
feared, somewhat lessen the value of a concern
which is now fleecing the public at the rate of
TWENTY-EIGHT per cent. on the capital em-
ployed in it ! I This is the secret of all the
undue influence which is at work to defeat this—
we may call it—national measure. To be sure, the
Eall of HOPETON is thrust forward also as an oppo-
nent :
.but will it be believed, the railway does not
;lass within two miles of his Lordship's grounds ?--
whereas, it is clear, that had it gone through his
Lb-awing-room, as Mr. WALLAcir happily remarked,
that would have been no solid objection to the Bill.

The usual cavilling was made in the House of
Commons last night, by the men who lay claim tg
superior sanctity, agai►►st the paltry annual grant of
9,000/. to Maynooth College. The treatment of the
Catholics
.as regards this grant, and the origin of it,
has been akin to that which they have received at the
hands of the Protestants ever since the Reformation.
L►sult has been mixed up with injustice, and an avowed
suspicion that the Catholics have no other object in
view but the destruction of the Protestant Church and
Constitution. The mcn to whom at one time belonged
all the funds for education, and the greater part of
which had been bequeathed by their ancestors, were
forcibly deprived of every part of it, though constituting
a third of the inhabitants of the British empire, and
those intended for the Church were obliged to go to
foreign seminaries to obtain that instruction which
was denied them in their native land. The Protestant
then became jealous of this practice, and, in order
that the Catholic might not acquire habits and
opinions unfavourable to a Protestant Government,
granted a small sum for their education in Ireland.
Within these few years since the PLUMPT RES, and
SINCLAIRS, and AGNEWS sprung up, opposition has
been made even to this grant; because it encourages
popery, and also forms a school for political agita-
tors. Never were people treated so cruelly as the
unfortunate Catholic priests ! They are not allowed
to go abroad lest they become contaminated by
foreigners, and these staunch Protestants will not allow
them to be educated at home, because with their cleri-
cal-education they may acquire political opinions ; in
other words, they will allow them no education at all ; they
will put a mark upon them as aliens, and keep them and
their flocks in that state of ignorance, which is the
fruitful parent of all superstitions. But it is of no
use to reason with such men as Sir GEORGE SIN,
CLAIR and S►r ANDREW AGNEW. Their miserable
bigotry, combined with their strong political opinions,
blinds them even to palpable historical facts. What
else could make the former last night call on the people
of Scotland to raise their voices against Popery, be-
cause they had suffered so much from it, when he
knows. that they were subjected to ten times more
cruelty in opposing that very Episcopacy, which he
now 'extols as the perfection of religious worship.

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals
of Sunday. Their contents are, politically speaking,
devoid of interest. The KING and Royal Family
have gone to Neuilly, where they will remain for
some weeks. The ex-King of Holland, L•trts Bo-
NAPAIITE, Count DE St. LEU, is so ill, that fears are
entertained for his life. The POPE'S medical attend-
ant, Dr. A LLEyz, now at Aix-la-Chapelle, has been
summoned to his assistance.

On Sunday evening the French Government received
the following telegraphic dispatches from the Spanish
frontier

" BORDEAUX, JUNE 23.---The Carlist squadron quitted
Salsona about the 19th inst. Don Carlos and the Infant, it
is probable, arc at this moment at Berga, and it was said that
Cabrera was near Caspe, desirous of taking that place to en-
sure the passage of the Ebro.
" On the other side a new Carlist expedition which had
united itself in Navarre had passed the Ebro, and was making
its way for Castile. Espartero was in pursuit of them in the
direction of Lodosa. It is probable that Don Carlos acts in
concert with all these manceavres, but that he is unable to
throw himself on the Ebro in order to pass it."
" NAREON:YE,- JUNE. 23. —The Baron de Meer was on the
15th at Cervcra, and, according to Spanish authorities, his
force was composed of 16,000 infantry, 900 horse, and sixteen
pieces of artillery. Ile was preparing to follow l3unerin, who
had quitted the 'shores of Lubrigos, directing himself upon
Bergs.
" On the 20th Ros d'Eroles was at Oliana with 600 Cata-
lans."

The French journalists are puzzled to make out
how a Cellist expedition could cross the Ebro in the
vicinity of ESPA RTERO'S victorious army, the more
especially as the chieftain ZARIATEGUI was only at
the head of a handful of Navarrese insurgents, who
had refused to march in any direction but that of the
capital. An acquaintance with the character and the
military career of the Christino CoMmander-in-Chief
wonderfully contributes to strip such events of every-
thing like mystery. A listless turpitude, which his
followers mistake for a habit of the most profound
meditation—a procrastinating vacillation of purpose,
which the same dupes designate wariness and extreme
caution—and a drill-sergeant attention to the minutest
trifles—supply a key to whatever appears incompre-
hensible in his movements, without presuming him
guilty of a wilful prolongation of the civil war. These
remarks may be thoUght to refl2ct too severely on the
character of ESPA RTERO ; and we may be reminded of
the handsome manner in which he behaved to General
EVANS and the British Legion. We admit, as readily as
can his advocates, that his treatment of the Legion after
his arrival at San Sebastian did him the greatest credit,
and that in allowing General Evans to capture Irun,
he acted with equal delicacy and good feeling. But
be it remembered that isolated acts of this kind offer no
excuse for the passage of the Ebro by the Navarrese
insurgents. Extreme courtesy to a British officer and
a British auxiliary force is not by any means incom-
patible with a neglect of the duties of a Spanish Com-
mander-in-Chig. We arc not the only persons that
charge ESPA LITER° with criminality or neglect in not
guarding more effectually the passes of the Ebro.
Take for example the following extract from a letter
addressed to a Liberal Morning Contemporary, and
dated Bayonne the 20th inst. :
Espartero's latest act of generalship has been to let Zaria-
tegui, at the head of 5,000 men, pass the Ebro, sans coup
ferir. This is. said to have been achieved on the 15th at
Career. And how, it will ba asked, could this occur, with the
great force scattered about in Navarre ? Nothing more
simple. It has been all along well known that Zariategui
was at Estella anxiously waiting an opportunity to pass the
Ebro, and then make into Lower Arragon. Espartero's de-
tachment at Tafalla alone prevented him. These must be
diverted, and Goni accordingly gets orders to take four batta-
lions (about two thousand) to Zubiri, and immediately Espe-
taro betakes himself to Pampluna, calls up his troops from all
parts of Navarre, and, with some 14,000 men, prepares to
take the flOd against the 2,000 Carlists. The detachment in
observation of Zariategui, at Tafalia; is of course called up,
and accordingly the Carlist Chief—the road being open to
him—quietly saunters down to the Ebro, and, with a pontoon
bridge, takes over his battalions. But, of course, the 2,000
Carlists at Zubiri are hemmed in by the intrepid Conde de
Luchana ?—not a bit of it—they disappeared, God knows
where and at the end of forty-eight hours Espartero finds
himself with 14,000 men at Pampluna with no enemy to fight,
and nothing to do but to amuse themselves, until, perhaps, the
appearance of some 100 peasants in another part of the pro-
vince may excite the attention of this modern Quixote—el
Conde de Luci.ana. In the name of common sense, how
long is this creature to be permitted to cast a slur upon the
nable cause he nominally espouses? Public patience with re-
gard to him has been long since exhausted.
The number of the Carlists under ZARIATEGUI,
who thus effected the passage of the river, is grossly
exaggerated. They did not at the utmost exceed
three thousand men. If then a Carlist chieftain at the
head of such an insignificant force can cross the river,
where the passes can be most easily guarded, what is

there to prevent the passage of the Ebro by the main
expedition, if indeed it be the intention of Don
CA }mos to enter New Castile ? •Why absolutely
nothing—since EsPARTERo has convinced us that
numhers and positions are not to be relied upon.
What then is to. be done ? Let France and Eng-
land promptly interpose their authority, and—if ne-
cessary—employ their power in crushing a rebellion so
fraught with evil to the Peninsula. To leave the civil
war to exhaust itself is to leave Spain to all the
miseries which years of anarchy and bloodshed must
bring upon her—to suffer her people to plunge her
into an abyss of infidelity, crime, and barbarism, from
which ages will not recover her. Spain may now re-
sent such intetferunce, but wh2n her re.tson is r2stored
she will bless thu nations that saved her children from
the guilt of polluting her own blood.
The Gazette de France, a Royalist organ, states that

The following extracts from later ii puhihahed in the
Paris Pitinrs of Suod4y, :eintain the latest details of
the actual condition and prospects of the Carlist expe-
dition in Catalonia :

SARAGOSSA, JUNE 7.—MI acoonnts agree that the loss of
the Carlists, since they Otitored Upper Aragon, is not less
than 3,000 men, among whom must be included nearly 800
deserters. It may hence be calculated that Don Carlos had
not above eight or nine thousand men, after having passud the
Cinca. The loss of the Carlists in the afTiir at Ginsona, was
above 2,000 men. They left An the field of battle a great
quantity of arms and 14agg 4go. This success is of great im-
portance it has completely discouraged the Navarese and tits
Ibliseayans. The plac,, where the action took place votst, that
Don Carlos entered Catalonia only becalm. ',to aoufd not do
otherwise, fur all his movement% iniiehie that 1:,3 object was
to pass the Ebro, He knows very well ttaat he ciinliot ho eto
form in upper Catalonia a centre of action 4 ay he was able to
da in Navarre.

There is no truth in what is rulated of the pretended orga-
nization of Catalonian hands. The same may be said of those
of Lower Aragon, where General Oraa, whose firmness has
already begun. to establish order among his troops, is at this
moment acting with twenty-four battalions and two squadrons,
without reckoning the garrisons. His principal enemy,
Cabrera, however numerous his bands may be, is not formida-
ble, for he has not :1,000 men that deterve the name of sol-
diers, Reducing to the truth the exaggerated statements which
the Carlists have published of their force in Lower Aragon and
Valencia, it is doubtful whether they can put in motion 8,000
men completely armed, who are certainly not equivalent to
4,000 Navarrese, if' the latter had retained the energy and en-
thusiasm of which they have given so many proofs in their own
country.

LERIDA' JUNE 15.—The army of the Pretender, since it
entered Catalonia, experiences all kinds of privations, hard-
ships, and distress. It is certain that famine has obliged the
soldiers to eat several horses and mules, and even asses, be-
longing to the equipages. In several villages the lees of the
oil-presses of last year have been devoured by the famished
troops. The men wounded at Huesca and Barbastro, who
-were left at Ager, were almost all dead for want of attention in
dressing their wounds, and even want of food.

Here follows an account of the great victory said to have
been gained by the Queen's army on the 12th, in which the
bands of Pep del Ole and Ros de Eroles were cut to pieces.)
We have to deplore the loss of the Commander of the
Belgian Grenadiers, and some brave officers. The enemy,
after their rout, took the high road. It is thought that they
are going towards the camp of Tarragona; others believe
they will attempt to pass the Ebro below Meguinenza, to join
Cabrera, but this passage will be more difficult than that of
the Cinca, for one of the divisions, which was at Tamareta
yesterday or the day before, is now making a countermarch to
guard the lower Ebro.
The Catalonians curse the arrival of Don Carlos, who, they
say, is come to spoil their affairs, with an army, the ranks of
which are daily thinned by desertion. In fact, on the day be-
fore the action 47 arrived at Agrament, 25 at La Puebla, 9 at
Batagner, and 5 here. These deserters confirm the accounts
of the despondency of the troops that Don Carlos has brought
from Navarre."—Le Commerce, June 25.

The new Aide-de-Camp to the Earl of Mulgrave, in
the room of Captain Murray, 15th Hussars, resigned, is the
Hon. Captain Howe Browne, brother to Lord Kilmaine.

We have to announce the death of the Marquis of
Bath, which took place on Saturday morning, a few minutes
before eight o'clock, at his seat, Longleat, near Warminster,
Wilts. His Lordship was barn on the 24th of May, 1797,
and married on the 19th of April, 1830, the Honourable Miss
Harriet Baring, daughter of Lord Ashburton, by whom he
has a family of four children. He succeeded his father on
the 27th of March last. His Lordship was a: Captain in the
Royal Navy. His family were very distinguished, being a
brother to the Duchess of Buccleuch, Countess Cawdor, Rev.
Lord John Thynne, Lord Charles Thynne, Lady Louisa
Lascelles, Lord Edward Thynne, Lady Caroline Thymic, and
cousin of the Earl of Chesterfield and Earl of Aylesford.
Viscount Weymouth, now Marquis of Bath, hat just completed
his sixth year.

Sir Henry Oxenden has entirely recovered from the
effect of his late accident. The venerable Baronet, who is
in his Slat year, was overturned in his chaise, and had a most
miraculous escape, but was not so seriously injured as at first
reported.—Canterbury Weekly Journal.

Some time ago, as some workmen were employed in
repairing a wall in the interior of Mount Orgueil Castle, they
found an opening, leading to a room which by all appearances
had not been entered for many centuries by any human being.
The roof was full of stalactites, and some human bones were
found on the ground.

The gloving trade of this city has manifested some
improvement during the last few weeks, and most of the hands
are now in work. The Relief Fund Committee made their
sixth and last delivery of bread and ibur yesterday.— Wor-
cester Herald.

On Saturday next, William Howard, Esq., son of
that gallant officer the lion. Major Howard, who fell at Water-
loo, will lead to the hymeneal altar, at Burlington House,
Chiswick, the Lady Fanny Cavendish, sister of the Earl of
Burlington. The Duke of Devonshire will leave Brighton on
Friday next, to attend the ceremony. Many members of both
the distinguished families will be present. The bridegroom is
an attache to the embassy of Lord Grenville at Paris.
MR. DISRAELI'S NEW NOVEL, a VENETIA.”—
This story is shaped upon the character of Lord Byron, and
some of the events of his life.. He figures here, as in his own
poems, as the hero of the piece ; and is introduced as Lord
Cadurcis, at the age of eleven years. His fond, passionate, and
inconsistent mother is also prominent, nhilst Miss Chaworth,
somewhat metamorphosed, appears as Venetia Herbert. There
is much of poetical beauty and vivid description throughout
the volumes. The personal scenes are also finely wrought,
and the literary topics discussed show much of originality aid
power.--Literary Gazette.
At a public meeting held on Friday, for establishing
a Savings' Bank in Fart ingdon.street, to be called the " West
London," the Bishop of London, who presided, alluding► to
the deplored event of the death of the King, said he could,
from personal knowledge, bear strong testimony to the esti.
mable character of the deceased Monarch ; in him the people
had lost a most firm, sincere, and devoted friend. The Right
Rev. Bishop said he frequently had made applications to him
on behalf of different charities, and he always found him dis-
posed to give, cheerfully and bountifully. His frequent in-
quiry on such occasions was, " Tell me how I can best serve
the cause of the charity, and it shall be done."

Count and Countess Louis Szecheny have arrived
at Mivart's Hotel from Vienna. They are of a distinguished
Hungarian family, and arc related to Prince Esterhazy, who
waited on the Couut and Countess immediately on their ar-
rival.

At the Croydon Petty Sessions on Saturday, a ve-
teran delinquent, by name -John Bragg, alias " The King of
the Poachers," who appeared to share the sporting propensi.
ties of his prototype, and with equally disastrous results, was
brought up on a warrant before Mr. Reid and a Bench of Ma-
gistrates, charged with having been found poaching in the
Wandle near Wallington, during the night of Saturday, the
17th instant, together with others who made their escape. The
case was clearly proved by Thomas Sheppy, keeper of the
stream, and his son ; and Mr. John Bragg was consigned for a
month to durance vile, notwithstanding his positive assurance
" on his honour," that he was, at the time stated, snugly in
bed at " his little place in Surrey."
A letter has been received in town from an officer
now at Malta, dated the Ist of June, 1836, giving an ac-
count of the influenza raging among several ship's companies
now at that port.
Directions have bean given for preparing a statue to
the memory of the late lamented King William the Fourth, to
be placed in the vacant niche at the Royal Exchange, next to

From all quarters of the country we receive the most
cheering accounts of the effects of the present fine weather on
the crops—effects which have almost the appearance of being
produced by magic, so astonishing is the change which a few
days has made on the fields and gardens. This has been owing
in a great measure to the happy interchange of " sun and
shower," which we have lately had—and which, if it shall con-
tinue for a little longer, will produce a crop surpassing, per-
haps, any we have had for several years past. The heat for
some few days has been excessive.—Scotsman.
A case in which the Clergyman of Belgrave refused
to bury, in the usual way, the child of a Dissenter, has ex-
cited a deservedly strong feeling in the neighbourhood. The
conscientious Dissenter, it appears, hesitated not to sacrifice
his feelings as a parent, to his independence as a man. The
Leicestershire Mercury justly observes that the conduct of the
clergy man in question, is " characteristic of the fearful igno-
rance, the fatal errors, and the hateful bigotry in which too
many of the Established Clergy are plunged."
Epping Wool Fair was held for the first time on
Friday last, and taking into consideration the causes which
have this year had such a deadening operation upon the busi-
ness of similar marts throughout the kingdom, it may be pro-
nounced a promising beginning.
