The Dieppe Journals mention several instances of robber/
and sacrilege which have been recently committed in the enli'
rons of that place. A few nights since some thieves entered
the church of Avesna, by means of removing one of the win'
dows, and discovered and broke open the poor-boxes and the
box of the tabernacle of the altar, the contents of which tbel
took away, together with a silver chalice, of the value of 1,000
francs.

A meeting, on the subject of rail-roads, was held at the
Town-hall, on Friday, for the purpose of addressing the Le'
gislature on the subject, when, after a lengthened discussion
and a good deal of sparring between the advocates of the dif-
ferent lines a resolution of a very judicious character was
adopted, expressing the preference entertained by the inhabi-
tants for a direct line before any other; but declaring also
their desire that if the Committee of the House of Commons
should reject the direct line, that they would please at all events
to pass some line or other this Session, to put an end to fur-
ther litigation, delay, and expense. Some pretty warm alter-
cation took place between Mr. Briggs, of the Direct, and Mr.
Somers, Clerk of Stephenson's line ; the effect of which riot Is
probable, may be to make the public better acquainted wit'
the mode in which shares are subscribed for, and to render
them, it may be, cautious of investing their money in specula-
tions of this character.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

Mondaht.
In the second race Rosabel made play to the cordsNig where
Caudia challenged, and, after a desperate race, won by a bead-
She was claimed.
In Vulture's race the last betting was 6 to 4 agst Madeira,
4 to 1 agst Vulture, 4 to 1 agst Rioter, and 4 to I agst Idiot.
Vulture went away with a strong lead, was never caught, and
won in a canter by two lengths ; Champion, Idiot, and. Havil-
dar were beaten off.

In the last race Tom Beazeley had it to himself after the
first mile, and won by thirty lengths—he actually walked in.
In the course of the day the betting on the Portland Han'
dicap and Derby, without being heavy, was very interesting;
for the Handicap Venison was backed freely et 7 to 2, and In
some instances at 3 to 1 ; Ellis and Hock were supported, but
with less spirit, at 4to 1, the odds being afterwards offered;
Elis's party was not very numerous, and some of them urea
seemed to doubt whether he would run. Jack-in-the-Green
rose to Bto 1, after being backed at 9 and 10. A more
portant change will be found in the Derby. Acbmet keeps
his ground, but neither Jcreed nor Mango are in such good
place as on Thursday last. Hybiscus tried on Saturday, as ,re
are informed, rose to Bto 1 (highest offer), his companion.
Dardanelles, dropping off two or three points. Critic we°
backed as low as 30 to 1, and is obviously on the rise. Seve-
ral inquiries were made after Caravan and Wintonian,

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1837.

In the House of Lords yesterday, whilst the presentation
petitions on the Church-rate question was proceeding,
,rd BROUGHAM observed that ho himself had presented 2,000
itions on the subject.
The Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was read a second
le after some discussion, which was chiefly remarkable for
declaration made by the Duke of WaLLlNororr and Lord
:NOHURST, of unabated hostility to the Ministerial measure
securing to Ireland a system of local administration, analo-
gs to that now enjoyed by England.
Lord BROUGHAM expressed his deep regret at the course
Itemplated by the Opposition Peers, declaring that he him-
I regarded the question as one of the greatest importance
the peace and welfare of the country. It being now appa-
It that the Obstructives were bent on strangling the Bill,
thing, of course, could result from going into the debate.
Would. be quite useless, either as regarded the measure itself,
benefit of the country.
he Small Debts (Scotland) Bill, was read a second time.
tile other Bills also were advanced a stage, after which their
rnships adjourned.
the House of Commons there was a stormy discussion
5 ivrlng out of a motion made by Mr. WOULFE, connected
t
n the last Carlow Election, on which election a Committee
hallotted for last night. The proceedings that occupied
remainder of the Sitting (which was of unusually short
ration) related chiefly to private Bills, the advancement of
1101 will be found detailed in our Parliamentary Report.

le Irish Municipal Corporation Bill was read a
time last night in the House of Lords, on the
Itin-n of Viscount MELBOURNE, who introduced the
is
Bure in a speech pregnant with valuable matter,
'II reasoned, and remarkable for the temperance of
His Lordship disposed of all the Tory objec-
ns to the Bill in his most pithy and effective manner ;
It Was replied to by the heads of the faction in a way
theonvinces us that Ireland has nothing to hope for

ng' tbe Bill will be burked in Committee. Not
e slightest forbearance will be exercised towards
It will be treated as cavalierly as it was last
!ssi °n ; deprived of all its efficiency,
ek • and then flung
with contemt into the House of Commons,
Lich will be required to receive it with gratitude and
2.11-,Ter it a God-send. Are we premature in hazard-
' assertion ? Hear Lord LYNDHURST on this
'YIn
point. " He must be allowed to say, in the most
tutet terms, that he, for one, never would acquiesce
is
Bill. How far it might be amended ; how far
'night be possible to render it beneficial, or shape it
,°1 a forth that would be consistent with the safety of
eand' it was not for him at present to say ; he gave his
j"this occasion merely for the purpose of giving
rh,'ortunity for consideration and enquiry, acluing
that nothing should ever induce him to acquiesce in
Is
measure." The Duke of WELLINGTON was still
explicit, for he unhesitatingly recapitulated the
iris of the Bill which he should oppose, and which,
, Znr3e are amongst the most important parts of it.
:theiir it appears that their Lordships will still rn
treating Irishmen as " aliens "—or rather
lunatics unfit to be trusted with the management of
is-t," affairs. And will the sister country submit to
-eatment? Will she tamely endure to seejustice done
ernelandand Scotland, and denied to her? Not so ; she
I,',.ciws her power, and will not hesitate to exert it.

countrymen do not fall on unwilling ears. They

salt' h-t Lord BROUGHAM observe, that the pro-
° go into Committee was a sheer farce. It
Its a fare; but
, one likely to be attended with re-
tio„ nYtl'ing hut farcical. The sight of a whole
t fo agitated to the heart's core is no sub-
-511 tar, laughter. When simultaneous meetings
urcplace all over Ireland ; when the re-
ed of the National Association shall We multi-
.ty,,:oliuritlied fold ; when the thoughts of millions of
inratte men shall be exclusively fixed on one grand

come to pass, and events are fast hasten-

` Y."lollave mistaken tragedy fr farce, and jeo-
their ;pot vital interests. , pok on

the discussion of last night as decisive of the fate of
the Irish Corporation Bill. The Lords have doomed
it to destruction ; and this fact being proclaimed
officially by themselves, it is the bounden duty of
Ireland to " agitate—agitate—agitate”—without an
instant's Joss of time. The House of Lords
may be frightened, but it will never be rea-
soned into a surrender. Ireland has knelt a sup-
pliant at its threshold long enough. Let her now
assume a manly attitude, and change the language
of supplication for that of determination, ever hearing
in mind that a unanimous people resolved to have
justice done them never yet failed of their object. The
whole bearing of the House of Lords last night was
haughty and offensive in a high degree. The Duke
of WELLINGTON actually found fault with Lord
MELBOURNE for presuming to bring in nearly
the same Irish Corporation Reform Bill that he
had brought in last year, forgetting that he him-
self had done the very same thing as regards
the Catholic Relief measure, which, previously to
its being carried, had been rejected by the Upper
House times out of number. As if this were
not sufficiently arrogant, his Grace further observed
that such measures only should be brought forward in
the House of Lords as were congenial to lordly natures,
just as if the Coinmons were to have no will of their
Own, but were blindly to follow in the wake of a fac-
tious oligarchy I Truly this is betraying the cloven
foot with a vengeance I

Annexed will be found the substance of a speech
delivered by Mr. CATTLEY, in the name and on the
behalf of the British merchants resident at St. Peters-
burg, at a grand dinner given by that enlightened and
influential body to the Earl of DURHAM, on the
29th of March, immediately after it was announced
that his Lordship would be obliged to return to
England for the recovery of his health. Never was
Ambassador more popular at a foreign Court, both
with the highest authorities of the State and his own
countrymen, than Lord DURHAM. The diplomatic
body respect his firmness, and are charmed by his
genuine unostentatious hospitality ; the SOVEREIGN
is pleased with his candour, and the absence of all
mystery in the communications which he has to make
to the Imperial Cabinet; and the British residents are
delighted to find in him a protector, to whose presence
the humblest of them is never refused access. What

progress his Lordship has made in settling or
deciding the question of the seizure of the Vixen,
we know not ; but we arc confidently informed,
that, but for that affair, the Noble Earl would

have been now in England with his family. From
the indisposition his Lordship has shown to pro-
ceed to even possible extremities with Russia on a
question of such vast importance to Western Europe,
we think it would be advisable, on the part of the
Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, to permit the
immediate return of Lord DURHAM, and leave the
question of the Vixen to be settled by his Lordship's
successor at the Imperial Court. We offer this sug-
gestion from no apprehension that Lord DURHAM
would, for an instant, prove forgetful of what is
due to the insulted majesty of England ; but be-
cause in his hands the affair is likely to suffer from
a procrastination, to which the delicate state of his
health, and his individual feelings, must to some ex-
tent contribute. It is not enough that reparation be
made ; it should be mad© instantly. This is what the
people of England do expect, and what they have a
right to insist upon. The following is an outline of
Mr. CATTLEY'S speech on proposing the health of
his Excellency the Earl of DURHAM, at the grand
dinner referred to above :

" I have now the honour to propose to you that we drink to
the health of the Noble Lord, who has this day honoured us
with his company as our guest ; in doing which I am anxious
to express those sentiments of admiration and gratitude, and
those wishes, which I know to be felt by every individual here
present.
" Permit me then, my Lord, to assure you, that we feel
the highest admiration for that noble and undaunted spirit
which has led you far from the bye-ways of the old school of
diplomacy, and induced your Lordship to move boldly on in
the straight paths of truth and justice. That spirit, aided by
sound judgment and deep penetration, has enabled your Lord-
ship to brush away the cobwebs of suspicion, and to inspire
with the fullest confidence in you the highest individual in the
empire—whereby, my Lord, you have succeeded in rendering
most important services to your King and country. Permit
me further to assure you that we highly admire those amiable
qualities in private life which arc an example to all around
you. Where they exist, my Lord, where there are good hus-
bands and good fathers, will ever be found loyal and faithful
subjects, and virtuous and happy citizens.
" In endeavouring to cypress our gratitude to your Lordship
I am aware that my poor abilities must fall greatly short of
what is felt by your countrymen in this place; but what I
have to say will at least have one advantage—that it proceeds
from the heart. As Britons we thank you, my Lord, for the
important services which you have rendered to our beloved
country. As merchants established in this city we are truly
grateful for the constant and effectual zeal and attention with
which you have promoted our interests, and followed up all
matters represented to your Lordship as points on which
your intervention with the Russian Government would be
beneficial.

" As individuals, my Lord, we have to thank you for your
hospitality, unbounded and unparalleled ; and for your libera-
lity in having promoted that truly British amusement of races,
by presenting to the British residents of this city a handsome
piece of plate at the Strclna races last year. We have, more-
over, to thank your Lordship for that great urbanity and kind-
ness with which you have on all occasions received every in-
dividual who solicited from your Lordship aid and advice.
Laying aside the distinction of rank, and descending from the
high station in which your Lordship is placed, you have made
every man feel, when he entered your cabinet, that he was going
into the presence of a friend."

" As members of the same congregation, also, we have great
reason for the expression of our gratitude, when we recollect
that benevolence which has led you to give yearly a liberal do-
nation in aid of the fund fur the support of the British poor.
We have been truly gratified to see that your Lordship has not
only paid every attention to those who are prosperous in the
British colony at St. Petersburg, but has thought also of those
who arc in need, and aided our funds for their support, when,
as it happened, there were unusual calls upon them, and your
aid was therefore the more beneficial.

" With respect to our wishes towards your Lordship, I
know, my Lord, that if I could read the idea which is at this
moment uppermost in the mind of every man in this company,
I should find the wish to be, that your Lordship were not
about to leave us.' But, my Lord, since it is necessary that
you should go, in order to restore that health, he interrup-
tion to which has been the only drop of bitterness in the cup
of our happiness while you have been amorg us—if, my
Lord, the interests of our beloved country call for your
attendance at home, be assured that at all times, and under all
circumstances, you will be attended by the kindest wishes of
the British residents 'of St. Petersburg for your health, your
happiness, and your prosperity.
" And now, gentlemen, let us drink to the health of the
Earl of Durham, with four times four."

In the Report of the proceedings of the General
Association of Ireland on Thursday last, which ap-
pears in the Dublin Pilot of Friday, we find a speech
of the far-famed THOMAS STEELE, Whitsll, as it serves
to expose the calumnies of the Tories, is not undeserv-
ing of public attention. The readers of an apostate
Morning Contemporary will not soon forget the accla-
mations with which the denunciation of the mis-
chievous policy of Mr. O'CONNELL by this gentle-
man, at a public meeting in Limerick, was announced
some two months since. For several days consecutively
the most foul-mouthed 9nd unprincipled organ of the
Tory faction taunted the Liberalswith the desertion of Mr.
O'CONNELL by his former friends ; and particularly
with the exposure of his arrant duplicity by one of the
most chivalrous and high-minded, though mistaken,
assertors of Irish independence, and his quondam col-
league in agitation—Tom STEELE. Now, though
the object of the Tories, in lauding to the skies the
ardent enthusiasm and incorruptible patriotism of Mr.
STEELE, was to depreciate, by a dishonest contrast,
the high character of Mr. O'CONNELL, we do not
think they over-rated, in the smallest degree, those
public virtues which all who know Mr. STEELE
intimately freely allow him to possess. But what are
the facts of the case as regards his denunciation of
Mr. O'CONNELL ? Why that the whole report—the
basis upon which the Tories have raised such a super-
structure of calumny and abuse—was an infamous
fabrication concocted by some correspondent of that
worthy vehicle of treble-distilled Orangeism and cant,
the Dublin Evening Packet-. Between Mr. STEELE
and Mr. O'CONNELL the best understanding exists,
and has existed since 1834—more than two years pre-
vious to the date of the celebrated speech at Limerick.
So far is Mr. STERLE from hostilely denouncing the
policy of Mr. O'CoNtigu,, or repudiating a personal
6socintimacy with him, that in addressunl the -As •a •tion
on Thur.-42,y last he styled the Liberator " the NEW-
TON of political science rloipted him out as " the

only man living on the face of the globe fit to be t,
leader of Ireland even for one hour"—called him his
" august friend"—and pledged that honour which the
Tories admit to be unimpeachable, that Mr. O'CoN-
NELL and himself are, and have continued to be, " on
terms of private friendship and political confidence."
What will the apostate Tory MUNCHAUSEN of Print-
ing-house-square say to this public disclaimer of what.
Mr. STEELE denounces as the " noisome ribaldry" of
the Evening Packet? We will answer for it---not
syllable. An open acknowledgment of error, volun,
tary or involuntary, is not to be expected where no re-
gard is had to political principle.
Mr. STEELE has discharged a public duty in ex,
posing this base intrigue to injure the moral influence
of Mr. O'CONNELL. The Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber for Kilkenny was never more deserving of the un-
limited confidence of his fellow-countrymen than he is
at the present moment. His exertions in behalf of his
native country are as far above all praise, as his Parlia-
mentary services to the empire at large are above all
price. Differing as we do from Mr. O'CoNNELL
on many questions of national interest, we have plea-
sure in acknowledging that we have recently witnessed
with delight the statesman-like vie dirocted
the exercise of the immense power which Ireland has
wisely placed at his disposal. To calumniate such a
man is Hot to misrepresent the conduct of an in(iivi444
but to insult a nation.

The Paris Papers of Monday are wholly destitute of
any domestic political intelligence. In the sitting of
the Court of Peers on that (lay the trial of MEUNIER,
LAVAUX, and LACAZE was terminated ; but the sen-
tence of the Court was not delivered when the mails
left Paris. M. DELA NGLE, Counsel for MELINIER,
defended him on the ground of idiotcy ; M. LEDRu
ROLLIN, on behalf of LAVAUX, pleaded his client's
former good conduct, and his recent marriage
with a young and beautiful woman, whom he ten-
derly loved ; and M. CIIA IX D'EST ANGE founded
his defence of LACAZE entirely on his past unim-
peachable character, and the known moderation of his
political opinions. Judging from the report of the
trial now before us, the last-named learned Counsel
conducted the defence of his client very indifferently.
Should the accused be capitally condemned, an opinion
prevails that the KING, out of regard to his son's
nuptials, will not permit the sentence of execution to
be carried into effect.

Advices from the north of Spain to the 20th inst.
have been received. It appears from them that the
report of the murder of the San &bastion correspon
dents of the Times-.and Morning Herald, was a hoax
which some scoundrel practised upon our over-credu-
lous evening Contemporary the Courier. That jour-
nal has latterly been made the dupe of two very dis-
creditable impositions. In future, no great heed will
be taken of its foreign revelations.
DON CARLOS is still at Estella. In the Onate
Gazette of the 18th inst., we find two decress of the

The ninth article of the second decree offers rather
a gloomy prospect to those who may become the dupes
of this artifice to rob Europe. However, the real ob-
ject of Don CA R LOS is not to raise money, which he
melt knows no merchant would give for his paper ; but
to plunder the Basques, upon whom his soldiers will
force it as a legal tender, and likewise to appear to the
Northern Powers, by whom only he is supplied with
specie, as not altogether destitude of credit, even in
London and Paris.

Annexed are extracts from the papers :
There is no official article in the Moniteur or this morning.
The Nouvelle Minerve has the following article :--'• It has
been agreed in the Council that there shall not be a special
law for the appanage of the Duke of Nemours, but a complete
code on the subjee,t, regulating the dotation of all the King's
children, from the younger brother to the daughters ; their
portion, in case of marriage, and their annual pension in case
they remain unmarried. Thus, it is said, there will be pen-
sions for each sex, for every age, and every position. The
dowry of the daughters to be a million of francs—the pension
300,000 francs. The same sum of 300,000 francs to be al-
lowed the sons till their majority, when it will be raised to
500,000 francs—the law to he presented to the Chamber du-
ringthe present Session."

The same Paper says--" The million voted by the Cham-
ber for the expences of the marriage, is intended for diploma-
tic presents, independently of the secret funds of the foreign
departments. It is said that two thousand Napoleons go to
M. Ancillon ; the lady who, as diplomatist in petticoats,, has
earned her pin money, will have ten thousand. In a word,
the Prussian diplomatists, who have been so complaisant,. will
absorb nearly the whole of the million for its own share."--

An account from Trieste says, " The fire which broke out
here in the night of the 11th, reduced to ashes a great ware-
house filled with cotton, sugar, and cocoa. The loss in this
article alone is between 400,000 and 500,000 florins ; fortu-
nately insurances had been made to the amount of 300,00011."
The estate which Prince Polignac has just purchased near
Munich, is the little Chateau of Neuberghausen, which is said
to be most delightfully situated.
The Genoa Gazette of the 15th, publishes a Royal decree,
creating a Special Commission to examine the several plans
presented to the Government for another railroad between
Genoa and the Piedmontese provinces. The Commission is
to point out that, the execution of which would be the most
eligible.—Journal du Commerce.
