most strenuous resistance to the popular voice—and
actually push their opponents forward to be cheered
and carried to victory on the shoulders of the people.
By their protracted resistance to the extension of the
suffrage, and their denunciation of the ten pound house-
holders, they caused the return, in the first reformed
Parliament of the largest number of ministerial sup.
porters that ever sat in any House of Commons.
While this majority remained, and the Whigs had
little occasion for assistance, the Tories were tolerably
quiet; but no sooner did the balance begin to turn,
and public enthusiasm for a Reform Ministry flag,
than their generous opponents came to their relief. Sir
R. PEEL, well aware that he could hold office for only a
few months, rudely seized the Government in 1834,
excited in favour of the Whigs many who before had
been neutral or cold in their support, and thereby, even
with his own Parliament, enabled Lord JOHN R us-
SELL to defeat him on every question, and finally drive
him from power. Since that period the Tories hare
continued the very same line of generous policy—they
resisted to the last a thorough reform of English Cor-
porations—and thereby did what they could to increase
the influence of the Government in borough elections.
As if it were not enough, however, to increase their
power to such an extent in England, they must take
the most effectual means for increasing it also in Ire
land, by declaring their determination to support tithes,
and by denouncing in the most violent and insulting
language the whole nation as aliens ; the indiscreet
and violent conduct of the Bishops last evening
completes the climax. By these means they have
restored the popularity of the Government in that
country, and by their promised resistance to a
most popular measure—the abolition of Church-rates
—they are preparing the way for making them nearly
as popular in England, and consequently securing a
large majority in favour of the MELBOURNE Govern-
ment at the next general election. The Whigs, as a
body, are said by some to be ungrateful, and their con-
duct towards the Tories proves it. Though the Tories
are their best friends, they not only make no return for
favours conferred, but rail against them as their bit-
terest enemies.

We had hoped that Orangeism—for centuries the
plague and curse of Ireland—would not have outlived
the sentence of annihilation passed upon it by the
KING and Parliament of Great Britain. With deep
regret do we find that we were mistaken. Orange-
ism was never more rife in Ireland, and never
showed itself in a more malignant form than at
the present moment. The " faithful subjects" of his
Royal Highness of C UMBERL :AND, setting the voice of
Parliament and the commands of the Kt NG at defiance, are
again reviving those hotbeds of sedition and intolerance,
of bloodshed and rebellion—the Orange Lodges, in
every corner of the Sister Kingdom. We make this
assertion on the very best authority—on authority
which we defy Colonel PERCIVAL himself to im-
pugn. Ruffians are at this moment traversing every
part of Ireland in the character of agents from
the principal Orange Lodges, charged with au-
thority to re-open such Lodges as have been
closed, and even to admit " new brethren," as
they facetiously style the misguided abettors of
their treason. We have not time to-day to enter
into further details of this infamous conspiracy
against the Government ; but we will take an early
opportunity of returning to the subject. We shall
conclude with presenting to our readers a copy of
" Lodge Order" found upon the person of an itine-
rant apostle of Orangeism, seized a few days ago by
an active and intelligent Irish Magistrate :
LODGE No. 440.

The Paris journals of Wednesday, the whole of
which we have received, are filled with comments upon
the defeat of the Cabinet on the " Disjunction Bill."
Immediately after the rejection of the Bill on Tuesday,
the Ministers proceeded in a body to the Tuileries to
acquaint the KING with their defeat. A Cabinet
Council was
,held, when the dissolution of the Cham-
bers was discussed. The result is not known ; but it
would appear from the Paix that they determined at
all hazards to retain their places. " The Ministers,"
says that journal, " manifest a firm resolution not to
retire, in consequence of the late deplorable (!) vote
of the Chamber on the Disjunction Bill. We congra-

,plate them upon this determination. It is an act of
patriotism (I) for which the country will applaud
them. To yield to a refusal of concurrence attended
with circumstances so strange would have been more
than a fault, more than cowardice—it would have
been a crime I" If consistency in error—perse-
verance in mal-administration--figure among the
Paix's catalogue of Ministerial virtues, then the re-
signation of Count MOLE and his colleagues would
undoubtedly have worn, in the eyes of that Journal,
the aspect of a vice rather than a virtue. The same
paper adds—" Henceforth impunity is secured to
traitors. The vote of the Chamber has faithfully re-
echoed the verdict of Strasburg." The Journal des
Debats follows in the same strain :—" More than one
Member who voted yesterday against the Disjunctive
Bill already repents of having aided the Opposition,
and must have become convinced of his error from the
moment that so tumultuous a burst of frantic exulta-
tion arose on the benches of the Left, and among the
partizans of anarchy." The Journal de Paris is not
more mild in its censure of the vote of the Chamber.
" The Deputies," says that semi-official organ, "do not
seem to understand their own tendencies, or to possess
any settled principles of policy. The vote of yesterday is
a new certificate of impotence, delivered in due form to
the Monarchy of July. To withdraw at the present
crisis would be an act of cowardice of which the Cabi-
net cannot be supposed capable." On the contrary,
the Gazette de France, a respectable Liberal paper un-
connected with party, emphatically exclaims—"Honour
to the Chamber of Deputies I They have overturned
the Doctrinaire system ; they have discovered to what
that fatal system might have led them. The light of
truth and of knowledge broke in upon them. Despo-
tism had made its appearance, and might have become
irremediable. This event is of colossal importance.
The Chamber has done what the Court of Cassation
did, when Paris was placed under martial law. The
consequences of these events are immense." The Con-
stitutionnel observes—" The decision of yesterday is
an ever-memorable event, and ought to be classed in
the records of France with the celebrated protest of
the Two Hundred and Twenty-one, (the protest which
drove CHARLES X. from the throne). The Chamber
has vindicated its independence, and a dissolution, or
a change of Ministry, is inevitable." The Temps is
better satisfied still. " The Chamber," says this paper,
" has raised itself in the opinion of France and of
Europe. A debate distinguished for sound logic, ster-
ling knowledge, elevated views, and lofty eloquence, has
terminated in a vote honourable to the Deputies of the
country, and in strict accordance with a just system of re-
presentative Government." The ..lournalclu Commerce
and the Messager repeat the same sentiments in pretty
nearly the same words. The Quotidienne, a Carlist
Journal, but in general well written, says—" The loss

of the Disjunctive Bill is a grave and terrible event for
Ministers. They must either withdraw at once, or
dissolve the Chamber. This vote has not merely
placed on record the opinion of the Deputies as to the
Bill in question—it goes farther—it condemns the
whole policy of the Cabinet, and reprobates the Doc-
trinaire system altogether." Such is the apparent
conflict of opinion in Paris with respect to the
loss of the Disjunction Bill. But in reality there is
little or no disagreement in the public mind of France
on this subject. The journals that support Ministers,
and the Deputies who voted in favour of their mea-
sure, are equally dependent upon them for a political
existence. Were the Chamber of Deputies cleansed
of the foul presence of Deputies over whom the Crown
constantly exercises a pecuniary influence, there would
not be found two of the Representatives of France—
the number of the absolute majority against Ministers,
—to vote in favour of such an infamous measure as
the Disjunction Bill. Corruption raises and swells the
cry against the Opposition.
The Chamber of Deputies met on Wednesday ; all
the Ministers, with the exception of M. BERNARD,
were in their places ; but no explanation was either
volunteered or ddmanded. The discussion commenced
upon a project of law, demanding an extraordinary cre-
dit for carrying on public works.

Letters from San Sebastian of the 4th instant an-
nounce no intention of moving on the part of General
EVANS, who is now in a condition to take the field at
the head of 15,000 men, with twenty pieces of artil-
lery—leaving 2,000 troops to defend San Sebastian.
This is really " too bad." If General EvANs cannot
cope with the garrison of Hernani at the head of such
a force, he ought to bethink himself of returning again
to Westminster.

(From the Papers.)
The Phare of Bayonne, a Ministerial Journal, has a cor-
respondence from St. Sebastian, from which we take the fol-
lowing passage :
" February 2.2.—The English Legion is now perfectly,
clothed and equipped ; it is provided with everything in abun-
dance. These troops when exercising together make a satis-
factory appearance ; but the men taken individually are re-
markable for an inconceivable want of discipline—half of them
are drunk the whole day ; you see them lying about in the
streets, the gutters, and the roads approaching the town;
they fight, they roll about, utter frightful cries, and their
affrays are generally attended with bloodshed. If an officor
interferes they do not fail to shake their fists at him, and some-
times to strike him ; accordingly they are left to do just as
they please."—Gazette de FA4nce, March 9.
PARIS, MARCH B.—All the independent journals are of
opinion that the only alternative that presents itself, in conse-
quence of the rejection of the law of disjunction, which was
resolutely declared to be necessary and indispensable to the
policy of 6th September, is the dissolution of the Chamber or
the resignation of the Cabinet.
P. S.—The Moniteur of this morning does not repeat the
declaration inserted yesterday evening in La aarte, to the
effect that the Ministry is resolved not to retire in consequence
of the vote of the Chamber.—Journal du Commerce,

Brussels, Dutch, and German Papers have been
received. In the sitting of the Second Chamber at the
Hague, on the 7th instant, the members took occasion
to impress on the Government the absolute necessity
of reducing the expenses of the War Department.
They stated the taxes to be so heavy that the people
could no longer bear them without complaining.
The King of SWEDEN and NORWAY is labouring
under severe indisposition. By accounts from Copen-
hagen of the 28th ult. his MAJESTY slept better, but
his appearance manifested no symptoms of returning
convalescence.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA has fixed the opening
of the Session of the States of Hungary for the 17th

The petition presented to the House last night by
Mr. Gully was from the parish of Ackworth, Yorkshire, for
household suffrage.
EXETER AND FALMOUTH RAILWAY.—We have
the satisfaction to observe that the petition to the House of
Commons for leave to bring in a Bill for constructing the
above Railway has passed the Standing Orders of the
llouse, and leave has accordingly been given to bring
in the Bill, which is to be done by Lord Viscount
Ebriugton and Mr. Pendarves. No doubt is entertained, we
believe, that this Bill will be passed during the present Session
of Parliament, so that there is every prospect of the speedy
commencement of what is acknowledged to be a great and
beneficial national undertaking.
Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock,
the following appalling accident occurred in Newport Market.
A young man of the name of Henry Jones, 25 years of age, a
butcher, belonging to the slaughterhouse, was frightfully gored
by an infuriated bullock. It appears that he was engaged
assisting to kill it, when, not being perfectly secured, the
animal dashed furiously at him, and his horns perforated both
his thighs to a considerable depth ; in that dreadful situation
the unfortunate man remained until the slaughterman killed
the ox. He was immediately conveyed to the hospital, bleed-
ing copiously from his wounds, and enduring excruciating pain.
HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY.--APPEALS.--
Ross v. NIACLEAY.—In this case, which was not concluded
yesterday when we went to press, the further hearing was post-
poned till to-morrow.

On Tuesday morning considerable sensation was
caused in a highly respectable and opulent family, residing in
the Regent's Park, by the elopement of their daughter with
a Lieutenant on leave of absence from a regiment quartered
in Ireland. The gay Lothario had provided a postchaise in
readiness at daybreak a short distance off. About seven
o'clock the young lady, with the aid of a maid-servant,
escaped from her home. She had not left the house more
than five minutes when her absence was discovered. Prompt
measures were instantly taken to pursue the guilty pair, who,
it was ascertained, had proceeded towards the north ; and, in
consequence of an accident happening to the chaise, they
were overtaken near Barnet, where the disappointed lady was
torn from her disconsolate lover, and was brought back to town
and restored to her family.

Agnes Stewart, a well-known nymph of the pave,
dressed as a sailor, was on Wednesday taken before Mr. Raw-
linson, at the Marylebone Police Office, charged with having

previous night. She was very troublesome, and laid hold of
every one who passed. She was sent for one month to the
House of Correction, Mr. Rawlinson informing her that she
should go just in the state she was.
