LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1836.

The debate on the Irish Tithe Bill was again adjourned
last night. • The Speakers for the Government mea•
sure, as will be seen by a glance at the report, had im-
mensely the superiority over the advocates o f Lord STAN-
LEY'S proposition both in argument and eloquence. Mr. SHEIL
closed the proceedings of the night with one of those splen-
did addresses with which he astonishes and delights
an audience, when he has to elucidate a general
principle. Never were the fatal consequences of an
exclusive and sectarian system of government pour-
trayed in more vivid colours—never was the necessity of
ruling Ireland on just and liberal principles more eloquently
enforced—than by the Hon. Member for Tipperary on this
occasion. It is, however to the masterly speech of Lord
MoarETit that the country will look for a triumphant re-
futation of those fallacies which Lord STANLEY attempted
to impose upon the public on the previous night, and on the
correctness of which the Noble Lord seemed to plume him-
self with an air of so much self-satisfaction. Our limits
will not allow us to enter at large into the merits of the adnii-
rahle speech delivered on this occasion by the Noble
Secretary for Ireland. There is, however, 'one point in
it to which we cannot avoid directing the attention of our
readers.

One of Lord STANLEY'S main objections to the Minis-
terial measure is the inadequate provision it makes for the
maintenance of the Clergy. Lord MORPETH proved that
his plan would give an average net income of 295/. per
annum to every Clergyman in Ireland, while he showed, at
the same time, that the average income of the English Clergy
was only 2441., that of the Clergy of the Church of Scot-
land 240/, and that of the Ulster Presbyterian Clergy 1551.
It thus appears that the incomes of the Irish Clergy, accord-
ing to the Ministerial Bill, will be"greater than those of the
Clergy of the other Churches in the Kingdom, while the
extent of their duty is less, and their revenue much more
equally distributed.

The public subscription for reimbursing Mr.O'CoNNELL,
for the immense pecuniary losses which the Dublin, and
other Tories have lately occasioned him, is, we are happy
to assure our readers; increasing daily in amount. Monies
are pouring in froM all quarters. Wherever a public Meet-
ing is held for the purpose of demanding redress for Ire-
land, there Mr. O'CoNNELL'S case meets with equal conside-
ration. If anything can show the state of public feeling, this
can. The subscription is not made so much to benefit Mr.
O'CoNNELL individually, as the cause of which he is the
representative. The people recognize in him their ablest
and most powerful defender against the assaults of
Toryism. They see that he hesitates at no sacrifices to
serve them ; that he identities himself with all their in-
terests ; and seeing this, they feel that they are bound, in
justice to themselves, and the cause which they have so
much at heart, to furnish him with the means necessary to
enable him to carry on the war against oppression, Mr.
O'CONNELL ought to be deeply grateful to the Tories—and
the Times more especially—for their abuse has helped him to
reap a most plentiful golden harvest. In fact they have
given him more political influence than any rrrn :n the
kingdom ; and if be succeeds in obtaining " equal justice"
for Ireland—as he most assuredly will, being backed by the
support of all honest English and Scotch Reformers—his

sti&ess will be, in no slight degree, owing to the villainous
attacks made upon him by the Tories, and their appropriate
organ, now everywhere known by the name of the " Lead-
ing. Apostate of Europe.

By the report of the proceedings. in the House of Lords
last niglA, it will be seen that the Earl of CLARE called the
attention of their Lordships to the .expediency of equalizing
the duties on East and West India sugars. The Noble
Earl, who was charged with a petition from the pioprietors
of East India stock on the subject, submitted to the Go-.
vernment that it was of the utmost importance to the
country to promote, by fair and impartial means, the pro-
ducts of India. Lord MELBOURNE. stated that the
question at issue was one of great difficulty ; but
that, nevertheless, justice should be done to the
petitioners. With this pledge the parties interested must
be satisfied. They want but justice, and in demanding the
equalization of the Sugar Duties, they seek no more. We
ourselves are certainly surprised that Parliament has not
sooner interfered to break up the monopoly in the Sugar
Trade, so long enjoyed by our West Indian colonists.
With a longer and more dangerous voyage, and five times
as much difficulty in obtaining suitable cargoes of sugar for
the English market, it appears singularly at variance with
justice, that we should deny to the East India sugar-grower
a fair field of competition against our pampered and un-
grateful colonists in the West.

Our readers will perceive by a letter dated Manchester,
in another part of The Sun, that a petition, praying the
House of Commons to do justice to Ireland, received in
fifteen hours not less than 29,663 signatures! What will
their Lordships say to this manifestation of public feeling?

The election of a Member for South Essex commences
on Monday next. Mr. PALMER is the Conservative, _and
Mr. BRANFILL the Liberal, candidate. The former, in his
address to the electors, deals in vague generalities, after
the Tamworth-Manifesto fashion ; the latter boldly and
distinctly tells us to what extent he is a Reformer, and how
be is prepared to vote, provided he be returned to ParEa,
ment. We trust every Essex Elector, who has his coun-
try's interest at heart, will make every effort to secure Mr.
BRANFILL'S return. It will be long ere the Division will find
a more competent representative. As for Mr. PALMER, we
can gather nothing from his address, or his speech at the no-
mination, except that he is an undoubted Conservative—that
is to say, a waiter on the chapter of accidents. To be sure
addressing the electors, he says, "-while as a land-owner:
and myself a farmer, in the southern division of Essex, my
feelings, habits and interests seemed identified with your
own,"—be is not quite certain then whether they were or
no—they only seemed so ; but he does not say a word about
those sound practical measures, which it is the bounden duty
of every really honest Reformer to support with all his
ability. We do not find a syllable—not one single syl-
lable—about the Irish Municipal Bill, the Appropriation
Clause, the reduction of the Stamp Duties, the Ballot,
or the Septennial Act. On all these embarrassing points
Mr. PALMER, though he has the assurance to style himself
a Reformer, is discreetly silent, wishing to stand well with
the electors, yet at the same time not to commit himself.
Now this coquetting between two parties—this playing
fast-and-loose with Conservative and Liberal—will never,
we feel convinced, find favour with the Essex electors, who
will accordingly return Mr. BRANFILL, for his principles
they can understand. He has nothing to conceal nor to
mystify. He boldly writes himself down Reformer, and is
ready to stand by his creed at all hazards. Electors of
Essex ! if you really desire to promote the cause of national
improvement, and see " equal justice" done to Ireland
_Mr. BRANFILL is the man you must return.

Letters from St. Sebastian to the 29th ult., bring a re-
port of the seizure of the port of Passages by the gallant
General EVANS on the 28th. The Carlists were simulta-
neously attacked by the British Legion under the com-
mand of the gallant Member for Westminster, the Spanish
troops commanded by General JAREGUI, and the Spanish
and English war steamers—the Reyna Gobernadora, the
Isabella 11., the Salamander, and the Pliceni.r. The C3r,;
lists defended themselves with considerable bravery,
so long as they were sheltered from the fire of the
enemy ; but the instant the British troops had crossed
the river, and stormed the outposts of the garrison, the
insurgents fled, without doing the slightest injury to the
town. The following is an extract from General EVANS'
official report of this important victory—addressed to the
Minister of War :

Head-quarters, St. Sebastian, May 28.

" Most Excellent Sir.:-This morning the enemy's en-
trenchments on the right bank of the Urumea were attacked
and carried in the handsomest manner by her Majesty's troops
and vessels of war, and by those of his Britannic Majesty ;
and I have the pleasure to add, that the important seaport
town and harbour of Passages, so long in the power of
,the
rebels, is at length subjected to her Majesty's authority, and
is now again occupied by her Majesty's troops and ships of war.
At six o'clock in the morning we opened thirty pieces of ar-
tillery, which evidently surprised the insurgents, made consi-
derable havoc in their ranks, and compelled them to a preci-
pitate retreat, even before the ebb of the tide permitted the
heads of our columns to reach the other bank of the river. The
castle, in which the insurgents had a casemated battery of
four pieces of artillery, was gallantly attacked by his Bri-
tannic Majesty's ship, under Commodore Lord J. Hay, and
those of her Majesty, under Admiral Ribera and Commodore
Henry, and four pieces of cannon and an armed schooner
were captured. Captain Maitland, of the Tweed, rendered
important services in constructing and laying a bridge of
boats over the bioad and rapid Urumea river.
" We now have a considerable tract of country within our
positions pn either bank of the river, and the altered tono of
the inhabitants, the confidence evinced it, the conduct of the
Queen's troops to them, the absence of apprehension and of
injury observable, was most satisfactory, and augurs well for
the future. " DE L. EVANS."

This victory has not cost the Legion the loss of a single
man, and not more than a' dozen were slightly wounded.
The loss on the side of the rebels, owing to their being so
well sheltered during the engagement, was likewise incon-
siderable. Two officers and about twenty privates were
killed, and between forty and fifty wounded.
General EVANS has most laudably 'exerted himself to
save the people of Spain from suffering the infliction of
those horrors too often attendant on a state of civil war.
For this purpose he has published a Decree, addressed to
the army under his command, in which he orders that all
officers and men, whether British or Spanish, shall not only
abstain from the commission of any outrage against the
peaceable inhabitants, but shall henceforth regard it as a
military duty to render them all possible assistance. An
extract from this excellent document is here annexed,
which when compared with the brutal manifestoes of MINA
will appear another trophy raised by British valour in
Spain :
‘‘ The Lieutenant-General will hold every officer of every
rank, and every soldier of both nations, both Spanish and Bri-
tish, strictly responsible, under the heaviest penalties, not
only that no injury to private persons .or private property be
done, but th,:t every possible exertion be made to repair the
injuries done by the enemy, and to extinguish any fire which
may be found in all houses or buildings which may fall into
our possession. The property also in those houses must be
religiously respected. All the inhabitants, also, who remain
peaceably in :heir dwellings, or who return to them, must be
inviolably protected; and, above all, the women and children.
We, the English, came here certainly not as conquerors,
less as cruel devastators, but as allies, as friends and brothers,
anxious to assuage, not to aggravate, the horrors of a civil
contest. This is certainly our mission, under the orders of
the Spanish Government. We would receive even the re-
pentant rebels with the utmost kindness, on- their simply ac.
knowledging that they have been deceived.

towards them admiration on the part of all who have observed
and reflected on their no less gallant than good and generous
conduct ; and on the part of the Lieutenant General in com-
mand, an indelible sense of approval and gratitude. Ile is
fully convinced that this appeal to their active humanity will
be anxiously attended to both by officers and men."
The news received yesterday from Paris relative to the
movements of CORDOVA near Arlaban are confirmed.ained
CoanovA was for Ilse days successively engaged with the
Carlists, with various success—namely, from the 20th to
the evening of the 9.5t1s inclusive. The advantages g
by bins over the rebels were not important, and even these
were dearly purchased. Salinas was thrice taken and re-
taken in as many days. Tho Carlists lost one of their
ablest Generals—Sl moN TottaEs, who Was mortally wounded
on the 24th. DON CAitLos was on the 2Gth at Villa
Franca, General EGUIA at Escoriaza, where he had esta-
blished his head-quarters. Connova had retired to Vila-
real de Alava, where he had fixed the head-quarters of the
Christinos. We presume that the next post will put us in
possession of CORDOVA'S official account of two or three
more of his " brilliant victories.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been
received. In tho Chamber of pepaties nn Tuesday, the
Carlist Duke de F4TZJAMES made one of the most extra-
ordinary speeches on the foreign Budget, which we remem-
ber to have read in the annals of legislation. It occupied
nearly three hours in the delivery, 4ild
.was, from begin-
ning to end, one coarse, violent, and implacable tirade
against England. The Noble Duke gave a historical sketch

ld
•..

or summary of the leading events of Europe since the be-1
ginning of the reign of Louis XV., from which it would
appear that England was a mere paltry, intriguing adven-
turer, who; by fraud, treachery, and violence of the basest
description, had raised herself to a level with the ancient
int' legitimate monarchies of Europe. War was her trade
—first because injustice was inherent in her nature ; again,
because she adventured nothing, having in fact nothing to
lose ; and thirdly, because her very political existence de-
pended upon the success of her malevolent intrigues. The
Honourable and Noble Deputy stated that the Anglo-mania
was first fostered in France by Cardinal Dußois, who was the
pensioned tool of England, and that the Cardinal had trans-
mitted it as a Ministerial heir-loom to old TA LLEYR A ND. This
mania was stoutly resisted by Louis XVI., by NAPOLEON,
and CHARLES X., for which the orator gave them all praise.
After a deal of ignorant rhapsodizing about the Imperial
ashes imprisoned by England—the speeches of Sir R.
\VALPOLE, and the inuendoes of Mr. CANNING—the
Noble Deputy made a tour of Belgium, Portugal, Spain,
' Poland, and finally sat down before Constantinople.
Throughout this circuitous route he could discover nothing
but evidences of British treachery, and enmity against
France. Even Mr. WILBERFORCE'S labours for the aboli-
tion of the Slave Trade, and the final Emancipation of the
African race in our Colonies was, according to the opinion
of this Statesman of the Absolute School, only a scheme
in which our ladies saw no more than the ruin of French
commerce ! But the most surprising part of this strange
exhibition of rancour, ignorance,. and stupidity, was shown
on the Duke DE FITZJAMES' retiring from the Tribune.
Instead of resuming his seat amid 'any marks of disappro-
bation, a crowd of Deputies gathered around him, and
actually congratulated him in the face of the Chamber on his
successful attack on the policy of an alliance with Great
Britain !

In the early part of Wetinesda)'s sitting, the President
of the Council appeared in the Tribune as the defender of
the Alliance of France with this country. He denied that
the English nation regarded France with feelings of jea-
lousy or hostility ; and maintained that the interests of
both countries rendered the closest union between them
not only desirable, but necessary, for the common good,
and the maintenance of the peace of Europe. He &pre-
crated, in strong terms, the language used by the Duke
de FITZJAMES, as calculated to serious injury to France.
His speech was not concluded up to the departure of
Wednesday's mails for London.
There is no other news of any importance in the French
journals of Wednesday. The accounts from the North
of Spain are similar in substance to those we have given
respecting the capture of the Port of Passages, by Ge-
neral EVANS, on the 28th. Annexed are a few exracts
:
PARIS, Jurts I.—The officers of Spaia have their official
councils of Ministers and their private meetings, to which the
Crown summons the councillors, when it desires to consult, with
or without theresponsible Cabinet. Yesterday there was a
council of the Committee, at which the Duke Decazes, Counts
Dode and De Caux, General Alava, Messrs. Montalivet and
Thiers (his Majesty presiding) brought forward together the
question of intervention.
M. Thiers read a general report on the necessity of putting
an end to the cruel war by a speedy and considerable aid in
men and money. He made a brilliant expose of the imperial
policy in the Biscayan Provinces and the Port of Passages,
recently occupied by the English, but which it would
be dangerous to have any longer in their possession. The
Minister then concluded by proposing the intervention
of the holy Sees to pronounce an interdict and excommunica-
tion against those chiefs who should be guilty of murdering
the prisoners. General Alava is said to have observed, that
the spiritual authority would long delay answering such an
application, and that both the present and the future would be
hazarded by a policy so little suited to the events. The Duke
Decazes, it is affirmed, offered his services to the revolution-
ary Royalty, to bring about a matrimonial alliance which
should blind the fact and the right, and place the crown on
the head of Don Carlos, who should sign an act of abdica-
tion in favour of a Prince of his family. This opinion was no-
approved. The meeting broke up without deciding on any
plan.
It is said that the French Consul at St. Sebastian bas pro-
tested against the occupation of the Citadel by the English.

Advices from Constantinople to the 12th ult. have been
received. A circumstance has occurred there which is
likely to lead to some misunderstanding between the British
Government and the Sublime Porte. The facts of the case
are simply these :—A few days previously a Mr. CHURCH-
HILL, a highly respectable British merchant, while shoot-
ing some quails, had the misfortune to wound slightly a
Turkish lad who was concealed among some brushwood.
He was instantly seized, beaten, loaded with irons, and
thrown into a loathsome dungeon. As soon as the
affair was communicated to Lord PONSONBY his Lordship
waited upon the REIS EFFENDI, and demanded that Mr.
CHURCHILL should be given up to him, as by the treaties
between this country and the PORTE, all British subjects
resident in Turkey are not subject to the criminal jurisdic-
tion of any power, but that of those tribunals established
by, and according to the usages of Great Britain. Thu
REIS EFFENDI consented to release 'Mr. CHURCHILL, but
the Governor of the prison refused compliance with his
order, alleging that the prisoner was detained by virtue of
a firman of the SULTAN himself. Lord PONSONBY in-
stantly addressed a note to the Rats EFFENDI, suspending,
all further diplomatic communications between Great Bri-
tain and Turkey, till the restoration of the prisoner. Thus
the affair remained when the courier left Constantinople.
We approve of the decided course adopted by Lord
• PONSONBY. Had such an insult been offered to Russia,
that power would have compelled the whole Divan to beg
pardon on their knees, after undergoing every humiliation
that unlimited power can inflict, short of a deprivation of
life. We, however, shall be satisfied with the just vindi-
cation of our national honour. Our friends must not test
our forbearance by a violation of the faith of treaties.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Time-s Office, Manchester, June 2, 1836

Sur—A petition from this town to the House of Commons,
praying that it will assent to no measure affecting the corpo-
rations of Ireland, which does not recognize an equality of
rights throughout the three great divisions of the kingdom, has
received 29,663 signatures in 15 hours—a tolerably decisive
expression of public opinion. The 'race-week here brings with
it a total suspension of business. A great part of the popula-
tion is at the races—another great part is oc,upied in finding
recreation in the fields for about thirty thousand children, who
receive education in Sunday schools. Another portion takes ai-
vantage of the general leisure to visit the coast arid watering•
places, or to go to see distant friends. Ia such a week of
course no public movement can take place ; hut on Monday
evening ►when a number of the influential fixfwmers had re-
turned to town, a Meeting was held, Thomas Potter, Esq., in
the chair, at which it was resolved that a petition should b.,
forthwith prepared. Next morning a placard announced that
the sheets would be ready for signature at six o'clock that
evening. By half-past six the inhabitants of every rank were
seen crowding to attach their names, and by the same hour
next evening the petition was signed by 29,663 persons. The
number would have exceeded 30,000, if the sheets only partially
filled had been attached.

A SECRET HISTORY.—The peculiar facility wan
which woman can untie the Gordian knots of policy, and enter
into the mysteries of the diplomatic art, is now proverbial ;
but few have, in any age, transcended the illustrious heroines
of " A Secret History," which is, we hear, to be revealed in
the Court Journal of to-morrow. Whether the " moral" of
the State-story in question is to involve a marriage, or " some-
thing worse," cannot yet be safely speculated upon, but there
is ample room for surmise. The races at Ascot, and the
splendid fete at the British Embassy at Paris, furnish some of
the other topics of attraction, to all who desire to know
" what is going on in the world."
DESTRUCTION OF A CUTTER UPON THE RIVER,
AND EXTAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF TEN LIVES.—On Wed-
nesday morning last a party consisting of four ladies and
six gentlemen, hired a four-oared cutter of Mr. Searle, the
boat-builder of Stangate, for the purpose of taking an ex-
cursion to Richmond and back. Before starting the gentle-
men were strongly advised to take a waterman with them, as
the tide was running up very strong at the time, and the
wind rather high and squally; this wholesome advice, how-
ever, was unheeded, and the party started in high spirits,
one of the gentlemen acting as coxswain. On the cutter ap-
proaching Battersea-bridge, owing to the strong current that
was running, the gentlemen were unable to manage the cut-
ter ; the result was, that she was carried athwart the riles of
the bridge with such tremendous violence as to literally split
the cutter asunder. The scene that followed was of a
nature beyond description ; when the cutter struck against
the piles, a general scramble took place. The gentlemen,
anxious for the preservation of the ladies, clung to the piles of
the bridge, holding their fair companions 'as long as their
strength allowed. Mr. Shone, a most respectable solicitor, re-
siding at No. 11, King's-parade, King's-road, Chelsea, and
whose offices are in Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane,
succeeded in climbing up the brid's°, but his lady, who is far
advanced in pregnancy, was so dreadfully alarmed that she
swooned away when the concussion took place, and being preci-
pitated into the river, was carried along by the tide for several
hundred yards. Mr. Harnett, who is the senior part-
ner of Mr. Shone, however, supported her. Another
lady and gentleman drifted towards the saw-mills, on
the Surrey shore. When the catastrophe took place,
the screams that followed reached the shores on both
sides of the river, and about twelve or fifteen boats instantly
rowed off to the spot—one of them belonging to a fisherman,
named Elmore, succeeded in picking up Mr. Harnett and
Mr. Shone, when they were in so exhausted a condition that
they must inevitably have sank in a few seconds more. Three
waterman, by the most praiseworthy exertions, reached in
time to save the lives of the rest of the party. The whole of
the sufferers were conveyed to the Adam and Eve, near the
foot of Battersea Bridge, on the Chelsea side, The females
were instantly put to bed, and Mr. Fletcher, a surgeon,
promptly attended, and rendered every assistance in his power.
Mr. Shone still continuca very much indisposed, as also the
other ladies. The whole of the parties have sustained more
or less slight injuries. The preservation of the whole of the
party is considered almost miraculous.
