THE SUN,- L_ONDON, THURSDAY__EVE NING,' APRIL 22, 1847.

A Berlin letter of the 15th states that the pro-
posed Address, in answer to the KING'S speech, was
read at that day's sitting of the States-General, and
immediately taken into consideration. The terms
are said to be rather violent, and if the Address were
voted without modification, it would probably lead
to unfortunate consequences. Therefore, Count
D'ARNIM, r late Minister of the Interior, wishing to
prevent all conflict between the SOVEREIGN and the
States, proposed, in a speech which had great effect,
an amendment, which appeared to be favourably
received by the majority of the Assembly. The
amendment maintains the same sentiments, but in
more temperate language. The debate was expected
to last two days at the least.

The Cologne Gazette; states that the Prussian
Cabinet has decided on not renewing the navigation
treaty of 2d March, 1841, between the Zollverein
and England, which is about to terminate. The
southern states of Germany objected to the treaty
being discontinued on account of the effect it would
have on the importation of sugar; but the Zollverein
states were unanimous in resolving that it should not
be renewed in its present form. The Cologne Gazette
adds, that the dispatches directing the cessation of
the treaty were sent to London last week.

Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived.
The QUEEN attended a bull-fight on Monday, and,
notwithstanding the bando of the Political Chief, was
greeted with loud vivas on her appearance.
The Ministers have introduced into the Senate a
Bill of Indemnity for having banishedAvteANETA and
Cuico to Alicant and Almeira. The Minister of the
Interior, who introduced the measure, declared that
he had no moral doubt of their guilt. The Bill
authorising the Ministry to ' collect the taxes has
passed the Senate by a large majority.
Senor OLOZAGA, who has taken his seat in the
Chamber, had solicited an audience of the QUEEN, in
order personally to thank her MAJESTY for having
permitted him tch`return to Spain.
The Elamor Publico publishes a memorial ad-
dressed to her MAJESTY by MENDIZABAL, CORTINA,
MADoz, and GOMEZ DE LA SERNA, praying that
Generals IRIARTE, LINAGE, RODIL, CAPAZ, and
SANTA CRUZ may be permitted to return to Spain.
The Spanish Government has not received any
official account of the landing of any English troops
in Portugal to protect the QUEEN.

The Tiempo states that the negotiations between
Spain and the Papal See are going on very favourably,
and there is every rbason to hope that they will be
speedily terminated satisfactorily.

The debate on the motion Of M. REMITSAT for ex-
cluding placemen from the Chamber of Deputies still
continued, and was the subject of comment in all the
papers.

On Monday there was a riot of a somewhat serious
character at the College de France. The Minister of
Public Instruction, M. SALVANDT, had, in pursuance
of the reactionary plan which he has long been
steadily carrying out, forbidden M. QUINET, the
great opponent of the Jesuits, from con-
tinuing his lectures on the literature of
Southern Europe. In these lectures M. QUINET had
exposed the intrigues and doctrines of the Jesuits,
and it was doubtless at the instigation of that body
that M. SALVANDY issued his prohibition. On Mon-
day M. QUINET presented M. DUMAS HINART as his
substitute. The pupil; considering M. Dumas
HINART as a mere tool of the parti-pretre, refused
to listen to him, and at length compelled him to re-
tire. It certainly is strange that M. GUIZOT, with
all his experience, should abet M. SALTANDT, in
his absurd crusade against the University. Has M.
GUIZOT forgotten the days of the Mini.tire deplorable,
when he himself was forbidden to lecture ? Has he

forgotten the triumph of his restoration to the pro-
fessor's chair undez the Martignac Ministry—a
triumph which led ultimately to his attaining his
present high position ? But perhaps M. GUIZOT is
anxious that M. QUINET too should become a Member
of the Chamber and a Minister of the State—if so, he
cannot do better than aid M. SALYANDT in these pro-
ceedings.

Theßuzancais rioters were executed on Friday.
The .lioniteur announces that the Chamber of
Commerce, desirous to participate in a grand and
highly useful enterprise, had voted a sum of 5,000 f.
(200/.) to defray part of the expense of the explora-
tion of the Isthmus of Suez preparatory to thG 9/cit-
ing of the canal which is to unite the Mediterranean
and the Red Sea.

According to the Siecle, M. GUIZOT has become
so alarmed at the present state of affairs in Spain that
he has determined to send Count BRESSON to Madrid
without delay.

DEATH OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Died of dysen-
tery at the Cape of Good Hope,on his way home from Madras,
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Walter Scott, Bart., of Abbotsford,
eldest son and last surviving child of the author of " Waver-
ley." Sir Walter was born in 1801, and was a Lieut.-Colonel
in the 15th Hussars. The baronetcy is extinct, but the
Abbotsford property passes to Walter Scott Lockhart, a
Cornet in the 16th Lancers, the only son of the editor of the
Quarterly Renew, and the only grandson of the author of
6' Waverley." Sir Walter was married in 1825, to a Miss Jobson,
of Lochore, Fife, who still survives to lament, as all who knew
him must do, an excellent officer, with many amiable quali-
ties and mach kindness of heart.

GRAY'S INN, APRIL 21.—Edward Crispe Ellery,
Esq., was this day called to the degree of Barristor-ht-law,
by the Honourable Society 0 Gray'd Inn,

statute the rent-charge was made a lien upon the
lands, and•the owner of the first estate of inheritance
was made responsible therefor, while in the event of
non-payment a summary jurisdiction was given to
the courts of equity to grant a receiver over the
rents, issues, and profits of the lands liable for the
payment; from thenceforward there has been no pay-
ment of any kind of demand in Ireland made with
such regularity and punctuality as that which
could not previously, by any means, be enforced
or obtained.

The clause in the Poor-law Bill which was
proposed by Lord GEORGE BENTINCL in the
COmmons, and rejected only by a majority of
three, and which will again be brought forward
in 'the Lords, if made part and parcel of the Act,
will occasion a renewal of the scenes of 1832,
and the subsequent years, and practically render the
law inoperative and inefficacious. The occupying
tenants will believe, and with reason, that they
are treated with injustice that the entire
burden is shifted from the shoulders of the
landowners to their own. By the law as it now
stands they are entitled to deduct from their rents a
certain proportion of the rate, and by a wise regula-
tion that deduction is in the inverse proportion to the
rent they pay. If that is a rack rent higher than the
poor-law valuation, the chief portion falls on the
landlord—if very low, on the tenant. He is, in fact,
entitled to deduct a moiety of the rate per pound
from every pound of rent he pays. If no such al-
lowance should be made from this time forth,
nothing could convince the occupier that
he was not seriously aggrieved, and passive
resistance would again be introduced by a people,
who from their former triumph were made acquainted
with their real power. It is incumbent, therefore,
on all friends of the measure to oppose the introduc-
tion of the clause to the uttermost, for, if carried, it
will render the entire enactment worse than useless,
and occasion the greatest confusion and disturbance
in the land it is intended to benefit.

Accounts from Rome state that Don ENRIQUE, on
his arrival there, "demanded an audience of the POPE,
who, in reply, desired that he should be presented by
the Spanish Ambassador; but as this functionary had
made pretension to being present at every audience,
the PRINCE declared that he could not admit of any
witness to any conscientious intercourse that might
take place between him and the Sovereign Pontiff.
Consequently, he announced his intention of address-
ing his Holiness directly, the first time he met him in
public."
