conduct of Lord PALMERSTON is not condemned.
And now Sir JAMES GRAHAM blames the Noble Lord
for not giving greater power to the Superintendent.
The impudent renegade! as shameless as the:drunken
Greenwich pensioner, described by Captain MARRY ATT
" Poor Jack ;" with his coat turned inside out, for
disorder and drunkenness, he assures the credulous that
yellow is the colour of honour, and brazens it out that a
punishment is a reward.

Sir JAMES dwelt very much on the Duke of WEL-
IANGToN's memorandum, which, in fact, was the soul
of the lumbering_ body of or.ltory he draped on
the floor of the House of Commons. But that des-
patch was dated early in 1835, and though in July,
1833, Sir JAMES had not sat for twelve hours in the
same Cabinst with the Duke of WELLINGTON, he was
then intimate enough with the Tories to be well ile-
quainted with their views. Why then did he not bring
forward that memorandum in 1838 ? If he were net
acquainted with it, Sir ROBERT PEEL undoubtedly was ;
and why did he—why did the whole Tory party allow
such patriotic wisdom to be buried for three years, only
now to be disentombed? Why did these pr triot
Tories, with their wonderful foresight and knowledge,
allow the affairs of China to be, as they now say, tnis-
e:nducted for four years, and never open their mouths?
The answer is obvious. They care nothing for the
country, nothing for its best interests—(or, if the Duke
of WELLINGTON has not yet forgotten his early attach-
m lit, it is now stifled by party passions inspired by
low-minded party followers)—and only bring forward
their hidden and obscure wisdom, when it may damage
a rival. The speech of Sir JAMES GRAHAM is the
severest censure we have read for some time of the
conduct of the Tories ; as Sir Wm. FOLLETT'S speech
was nothing but a bitter condemnation of that first Order
of Council issued under the Act of 1833, for which his
friend Sir JAMES GRAHAM is responsible, if he were
not its author.

It is with the utmost pain we refer to the proceed-
inzs in the House of Lords last night, because we see
souse of the leading men in that place inclined to back
the bench of Bishops in an attempt which, if successful,
will, to a certainty, lead to the last insurrection against
Monarchy in Canada. The Legislature of Upper
Canada were anxious to have the Clergy Reserves
and the proceeds set apart for the purposes of educa-
tion ; but in order to preserve peace, they passed a Bill
reserving them for the Clergy of the principal sects in
that country. This, however, will not satisfy the Bishop
of EXETER, nor the Bishop of LONDON, nor the meek
and gentle Archbishop of CANTERBURY, who is led on
and supported by these dangerous and encroaching
Prelates. They claim as their right the whole of the
Reserves for the Clergy of not one-fourth part of the
population ; they throw the Catholics, Wesleyans,
and even the Protestants of the Church of Scot-
land overboard, as if, by the infatuation of the
ALMIGHTY, they were destined to excite the hos-
tility of all classes, and be the instruments in
his hands of humbling and finally destroying this
overgrown and insolent Church. The Catholics,
though it is more Catholic than any Protestant
Church, it denounces as the enemies of GOD and man.
The Scotch Church, it declares is no church--their
very clergy have not received ordination, and conse-
coon* they have usurped the holy functions of the
ministry ; and rather than allow these to share in the
provision sat apart for the clergy, it will excite, as
it has often excited in Ireland, a bloody civil war
in Canada. WELLINGTON and RIPON, and many
others, are favourable to their views ; they are fighting
the battles of the Sympathizers on the American fron-
tier—they are aiding and abetting the enemies of Eng-
land, and taking the most effectual step to make the
whole population of Canada throw themselves into
the arms of the United States. If the Bench of
Bishops prevail, they will have the merit of settling the
affairs of Canada. We shall have no trouble about the
Eastern Boundary. The accounts of last night's dis-
cussion will rouse the indignation of the whole popula-
tion of our American Colonies, and the first announce-
ment of the victory the Bishops will be the signal
for throwing off the English yoke. The people of the
United States rebelled because England would impose
a small duty on their tea. Will men of the same race,
with the same blood in their veins, and with the same
independent spirit, stand patiently by while England
imposes on them a Church ? Well might the Tory
Lord ASHBURTON exclaim, " You might as well at-
tempt to plant the English Church in the moon." Men
of sober sense among the Tories see the dangerous
game which the Bishops arc playing. They will by and
bye see the danger to our institutions of allowing a med-
dling and insolent priesthood to interfere in political
affairs, and, we trust, will in time concur with the
friends of liberty, peace, and religion, in the propriety
of removing the grasping, insatiable Bishops from the
House of Lords.

There is no news of any interest in the Paris Papers
of Monday. M. DE MALLEVILLE, the Under-Secre-
tary of State to the Minister of the Interior, has re-
signed that office, finding its duties incompatible with
those of Secretary of th Chamber of Deputies, which
he continues to hold. This unexpected vacancy has
caused a great stir in the ranks of the Opposition. The
rival candidates are M. BERGER, supported by the Mi-
nistry ; and M. QUESNAULT, the chosen of the " 221,"
or Tory party. It was to be decided by a vote of the
Chamber on Tuesda).
'fhe Duke DE SENA CAPRIOLA, Neapolitan Minis-
ter to the Court of France, has left Naples for Paris.
Count PAULEN, Russian Minister to the French
Court, had reached Berlin on the Ist instant, on his
way to the French capital. The return of the Count
to the French Embassy was insisted upon by M. TIMERS.

On the 16th ult. Prince MictiAEL of Servia was so•
lemnly invested with the insignia of his Viceregal rank.
All the Notables of the Principality attended to hear
read the Imperial finnan, and to do homage to the
youthful Sovereign.
The Madrid Papers received are of the 30th ult.
Their contents are not of the slightest political impo:-
tance.

We subjoin the only extracts from the French Jou:-
nals of any interest :

The Temps publishes the following returns of sulphur
exported from the entrepot of Girgenti, in Sicily, between
the Ist of May and the 31st of December, 1839:—Lon.
don, 4,920 cantari; Liverpool, 4,650; Falmouth, 26,705;
Rouen, 17.580 ; Marseilles, 74,294. The French Com-
pany, it add:, possesses in store at the present moment
more than 450,000 cantari.

The journal L'Outre-Mer says—" We are assured that
the Minister of Marine has chosen Captain Duval d'Ailly
to succeed Rear-Admiral Moges, as Governor of Alas.
tiaigne, M. Duval d'Ailly was Governor of 13Jurboo in
1810. It is not known whether he will accept the post
that has been offered to him."

A letter from Marshal Clauzel, pub!ished in two jour-
nals, has for its object to contradict the opinion ascribed
to him by the Presse, that the presence of the Princes was
an inconvenience and an obstacle at the time of the expe-
lition to Mascara and Constantine. " This assertion,"says
the Marshal, "is totally false. So long as I had the
honour to have with me the Duke of O, tears, in the expe-
dition to Mascara, and the Duke of Nemours in the ex-
pedition to Constantine, they rivalled the bravest in cou-
rage, coolness, and energy; and when Princes conduct
themselves in this manner in the presence of the enemy,
far from being an embarrassment, they are powerful
auxiliaries to the General invested with the common.] in
chief."

The Serdiizelle des Pyrenees was seized at the Post-eine,
on the 316 t of March. The editor of that journal has
appLared before the Age telnstruction. He is accused
of an offence against the inviolability of the King, ar,d of
exciting to the overthrow of the Government.
An important arrest took place at Valence on the 30th
of March, as is reported, of an aide-du camp, or at least
an emissary of Cabrera, sent on a secret mission to the
little coat at Bourges.—Le Constilutionnel.

WANSTEAD FLATS AGAIN ON FlRE.—thi
Sunday evening last it was discovered by the police on duty
near the place, through a large body of smoke which ascended,
that the surf.ce of a large portion of Wanstead Flats, to the
south-east of the Eagle and Child Tavern, was on fire, and
that, from the peat-like substance of the soil, it was at that
time spreading with great rapidity. The grass and surface o
t acre., were completely consumed, and it was not until late
evening that the fire, which was tapidly progre...A.f

ance of a number of the sappers and miners from Woslwich
attended, and entrenched upwards of seven acres of the burn-
ing plain, that the progress of the wide-spreading injury was
checked. It is not a little singular that on the same evening,
about tour o'clock, another fire was discovered in Alonkham
Wood Forest, near the toll-bar at Woodford, the freehold pro-
perty of Bruce Pearce, Esq., and upwards of an acre and a
half of surface, consisting of underwood, was to'ally destroyed.
It is generally supposed that the latter fire particularly was oc-
easioned tttaliciously. The police in the vicinity are on the
alert to discover the authors of the injury,
Lady Fitz-Wygram's soiree dansante on Monday
was a prelude to a ball after Easter. The dancing was in the
dining room, which was brilliantly illuminated, Among the
company, who exceeded 9.00 of the brau monde, was Prince
Jean de Soutzo, several foreigners of high rank, and the Duk(s
of St. Albans; Newcastle; Roxburgh, &c.
