LONDON, SATURDAY,-JULY 18, 1846.

The House of Lords on Thursday came to a resolu-
tion rescinding that adopted by them on the sth of
June last by a majority of twelve on the Hardinge
and Gough Annuity Bills. On the present occasion,
which was the first division taken by the new
Ministry since their accession to power, they suc-
ceeded by no less a majority than twenty-nine in
inducing their Lordships to re-consider their former
decision. The Bills are now therefore restored to the
state in which they were sent up from the Commons,
and there no longer exists the difference of opinion
between the two branches of the Legislature, which
must have proved fatal to the success of the measures,
and which might have totally deprived the Noble
Lords of any compensation whatsoever from the
country, owing to the success of those who wished
that they should receive a higher amount. The Bills,
being money Bills, must be passed by the House of
Lord.) in the same manner in which they come up
from the other House, and any alteration or amend-
ment would certainly be rejected by the Commons, who
entertain thegreates t jealousy cfany attempt to interfere
pith their constitutional privilege—a privilege, too, on
which a great part of their power is based. We
confess that we regretted the course pursued by the
W. Government iu reference to thus oungitio. We

Mr. O'CONNELL has at length replied to the letter
of Lord MILLTOWN, to which we callei public at-
tention last week ; and as might have been expected
from his recent declarations on the subject, he has re-
fused to accede to the reasonable and moderate re-
quest contained therein, or to postpone the repeal
agitation even for an hour. Much as we respect Mr.
O'CoNNELL, honest and successful as his exertions on
behalf of his native land have, hitherto, undoubtedly
been, and great as the experience and foresight which a
man of his extraordinary sagacity and mental power
must necessarily have obtained during a career of
agitation, as a leader of the people for more than fifty
years, we are reluctantly obliged to question the
wisdom of his decision, and the justice of the grounds
which have led thereto.

In the first instance, he pays a well-deserved com-
pliment to the noble writer, assuring him that he
is one of the very few to whose authority he (Mr.
O'CoNNELL) would feel disposed to surrender his
own opinion. The energy and activity with which
his Lordship has ever laboured on behalf of Ireland,
the liberality of his opinions, and the readiness he
has, on all occasions, exhibited in joining his brethren
for the redress of the grievances under which
Ireland has so long been afflicted, demanded such
a compliment at the hand of Mr. O'CONNELL, hich
he was not the less willing to render, as his Lord-
ship's letter contained a pledge that he would join the
repeal ranks in the event of full and perfect justice
not being rendered to Ireland, and the recommenda-
tion of Sir R. PEEL in his speech on his retiring from
office being carried into executior, by her being
placed on a footing of real and substantial equality
with England in her civil, political, and municipal
institutions, within twelve months from the present
time, a pledge of which Mr. O'CotiNELL intimates
his intention firmly, but respectfully, to demand the
fulfilment.

Mr. O'CONNELL asserts that there are not the
materials for even the nucleus of such an Irish party;
that, with the exceptions of Lord MlLL•rowx himself,
Lord CLONCURRY, and his second son, there are no
others in whom the people have confidence. Surely
in this he inflicts' a deep injustice ol the many
liberal and patriotic noblemen and gentlemen
who have laboured, are lab,)uring, and will
continue to labour on behalf of the green
island and its inhabitants, although conscientiously
opposed to the repeal, which in its results they
believe calculated seriously to injure not only Great
Britain, but Ireland itself, in no less a degree.
They all form an Irish party, anxious to promote
her welfare, her prosperity, and happiness, to raise
her in the scale of nations, and to remove all well-
grounded causes of complaint. Does not the
improved spirit exhibited in the Legislature when any
liberal and beneficial measure is brought forward, or
sentiment uttered favourable to that country, attest
this? Was not the declaration of Sir R. PEEL in favour
' of full and perfect equality with this country, if not
to the letter, at least to the spirit, received with most
cordial approbation by the great majority of the
House? And did not the statesman who proclaimed
so liberal, so just a proposition, entitle himself to a
place amongst the Irish party, embodying, as it does,
all that the most zealous advocate for Ireland could
claim or desire on her behalf, all that Mr. O'Corr-
NELL himself for many years demanded, and in the
hope of procuring which he tried the various ex-
periments he has himself set forth in his letter, and
which led to the formation of the "National Associa-
tion," the " General Registry Association," and the
"Precursor Association," the avowed object of each
and every one of which was " to procure a perfect
equality of all constitutional rights and privileges for the
people of Ireland with those of England and Scotland ?''
Are not the senators by whom the pleasing enuncia-
tion was so loudly cheered, and who thereby evinced
their readiness to carry it into full and perfect execu-
tion, who so readily joined in the just and proper
measure for sweeping the last remnant of the penal
code from our statute-book, and removing the last
vestige of bigotry and intolerance, who so readily
received the measure. for the improvement of the social
relation between landlord and tenant, and protecting
the latter as far as possible in the enjoyment of his
holding, entitled also to admission into such a party.

Have not the Ministry tie Served some credit for what
they hate already effected, and for what they profess
themselves ready to do ? Mr. O'Corctitil himself
admits that they mast mine the atempt. Can he
doubt that they will do so honestly and efficiently ?
They will have the energetic support of the Whig
and Liberal party, of which they are at the head;
they will receive the assistance of Sir ROBERT PEEL,
by whom, as he states, they have been taunted into
active exertions, and his personal friends and fol-
lowers; and, though we confess we do not place much
confidence in the promised assistance of Lord GEORGE
BENTINCJ and the protectionists, to which he also
alludes, the unanimous wishes of all other sections
and parties in the House, and their earnest co-opera-
tion with the Ministry, must render any oppo-
sition from that quarter useless and unavail-
ing. The Ministry are undoubtedly in a
position of great strength on the subject of Ireland.
Do not the re-elections of the new Ministry, without
a single seat being lost in consequence of the accept-
ance of office, afford the strongest evidences that the
feelings of the public at large in Great Britain are
identified with the Liberal party in their wishes and
intentions in respect to Ireland ? True it is that an
occasional exhibition of bigotry, of intolerance,
may have taken place ; but look to the
uncontested return of the Secretary for Ireland,
for Taunton, and the glorious and triumphant ma•
jority for Mr. MACAULAY at Edinburgh, and do they
not testify that those feelings were not participated
in by a large proportion of the constituency in these
towns ? We do hope that Mr. O'CONNELL may him-
self, ere another year has elapsed, acknowledge that
he was in this instance mistaken, and that when sa-
tisfied of his error he will give up the attempt for the
dissolution of the Act of Union, and by his great in-
fluence assist in cementing more firmly the bonds of
friendship that will subsist between the nations, and
in promoting a real union, in which will exist strength
and power.

According to a custom which has become abso-
lutely habitual to the Hon. Member for Dumfries,
he introduced last evening, for the first time during
this session, his educational inotion—a motion imply-
ing the expediency of an annual statement as to the
condition and prospects of education previous to going
into Committee on the education estimates. With
this primary other secondary motions were combined
—as to the " formation of additional training schools,
for schoolmasters to be encouraged"—as to aiding the
accumulation of public libraries for the perusal of the
inhabitants of the larger towns—and, finally, as to the
expediency of " appointments to the subordinate offices
of Government being made, as far as possible, on the prin-
ciple of open exam i nation of the respective qualifications
of the candidates." A cursory survey of the somewhat
desultory discussion which arose out of the scheme
proposed by Mr. EWART for the adoption of Parlia-
ment, will amply attest the enormous discordance of
opinions entertained in regard to this most important
subject. The Hon. Member for Dumfries himself in-
sinuated that the system of education adopted in France
demanded the serious attention of our Legislature,
while Lord JOHN MANNERS, taking the undoubtedly
clever compilation of M. CARMENIN as his text-
book, inveighed upon the Gallic system as one of
the most specious, but reprehensible charlatanerie.
The Hon. Member for Weymouth, on the other hand,
considered that the possession of a degree from the
University of London should be declared a necessary
qualification for any one desirous of being nominated
to certain employments under Government, while Sir
R. H. INGLIS considered that such an arrangement
would prove in every respect pernicious. The Hon.
Member for Montrose stoutly maintained, from cer-
tain statistical calculations which he had been at the
trouble of making, that these islands retain a
greater amount of ignorance than any other country
in Europe; while Mr. PETER BORTIIWICK insisted
no less emphatically that there is a greater pre-
ponderance of crime in France, Spain, or
Portugal than in the British Islands—two
propositions diametrically at variance, one being,
so to speak, a mathematical refutation of
the other. It is not, however, our intention to dilate
upon this divergence of opinion as to the necessity or
the particular mode of encouragement to education ;
we purpose merely at this moment to direct attention
to the abstract merits of the question, and to express
our sympathy with the aspirations which were uttered
by the Hon. Member for Dumfries—aspirations for
the earnest consideration of a subject so intimately
connected with the moral elevation and the social
happiness of the people of this great empire. It cannot
be forgotten that previous to his re-election as
their representative by the citizens of the metro-
polis, Lord JOHN RUSSELL particularly specified the
education of the multitude as one of the principal
matters requiring the attention and the active inter-
ference of Government. In his observations upon
the motion of Mr. EwART, the Prime Minister has,
if possible, enforced that declaration. He acknow-
ledges himself " impressed with the conviction that
the absolute amount of ignorance in this country is
in itself a most lamentable fact ;" and the inference
which can alone be drawn from such a
confession, and especially when uttered by a
statesman so peculiarly associated with the
Reform Bill and with free trade, is, that (a
grievance so intolerable existing) it must be eradi-
cated ! That is the only rational deduction from such
language ; it is the only honest corollary to such a
premise ! We may therefore, without much fear of
meeting with disappointment, anticipate the in-
troduction of some wholesome and comprehensive
reform. Nor are we the less sanguine upon this par-
ticular, when we hear the Premier declaring that the
subject of education "is one in which he feels a deep
interest, and which he has very much at heart;" or
again, when he pronounces himself unbiassed in
favour of any antiquated modes of tui-
tion, regarding the writings not only of
CicERO to be useful, but those of JEREMY
TAYLOR to be instructive. Before a very
long period has elapsed we shall hope, with Mr. Jo-
, SEPH FUME, to see 800,0001. voted for the education
of the people, and considerably less than 870,0001. for
the prosecution and punishment of crime.

The Duke of SAXE COBURG has just presented to
the Assembly of the States two Bills, which have
been received with the greatest enthusiasm. The
first declares that the property of himself and his
family shall no longer be exempt from taxes and dues,
but I,hall pay the same as other property. The
second orders that three•fifths of the revtinue of his
private estate shall be set apart to pay the public
debt ; and that, when the debt shall be liquidated o
one-fifth shall be for ever employed in relieving his
subjects from taxes and contributions to that amount.

A letter, dated Naples, July 7, says :
" The honours paid here to the memory of the late Pope
were marked by an incident which is much spoken of. The
duty of delivering the funeral oration had been confided to
Monsignor Luca, Bishop of Averse, a man of great talent.

caise of the Abbe Chatel, and the errors of the Abbe Lamen-
' nais; and spoke of the suppo!t which, after so many trials,
the Pope had found in the religious sentiments of the coun-
try, and in the virtues and piety of the King. He then pro.
ceeded, to speak of Prussia, and alluded to the persecution of
the Bishop of Cologne; and, in the presence of the Minister
of Prussia, he declared that the late King had been punished
by God; he concluded, however, by a eulogiuni on the
present King. Russia came next. He commenced by

and England were treated with some consideration ; but
what was strange is, that not a word was said relative to
Austria; Prussia and Russia had all the honours of his attack.
It is said that the Ministers of these two Powers demanded
explanations from the Nuncio, and received an assurance
that he had had no previous knowledge (4 the address. How-
ever, it is certain that this grave attack, from a man so high
iu the Church, has caused a great sensation."

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The Moniteur Parisien says that the pit at Fam-
Poux into which the carriages fell on the occurrence
of the accident on the Great Northern Railroad on the
Bth, has been carefully explored by fifteen hussars,
who have plunged into every part of it, and that no
bodies were remaining there.
The "'atria of Wednesday evening has the fol.
lowing
A report was current to-day at the Bourse that a second
very sericUS accident bad happened on the Northern

road. Accordi,ng to our tisithi prildttice Rh have again ap-
plied at thh '(jrfice ht" the company, and the secretary has
'dec:ared to us that no news of this kind had reached it. We
sincerely hope that this contradiction inay not have the tate
of that which was given a week ago."
The Duke D'AUMALE, who passed through Aix on
Saturday, and received the troops in garrison there,
has arrived in Paris.

Accounts have been received from Algiers to the
9th. The refractory tribes in the province of Con-
stantina have all submitted and pail up their contri-
butions, and five Arabs who were concerned in
attacking a convoy of wounded soldiers have been
delivered up b the French authorities.
The Courrier de la Gironde gives the following account
of the state of the crops in that district :—" The wheat
harvest has nearly terminated throughout all the depart-
ment, and in many places advent ige is being taken of the
fine weather to thrash the corn. This operation but too fully
confirms the fears entertained that the hot weather of the
early part of June would affect the quantity of the crop. The
potatoes looked tine at first, and held out favourable hopes,
but at present there is reason to fear that the quantity will
not be great, but should this be the case it will be in some
measure compensated for by the goodness of the quality.
The field vegetables, such as beans, lentils, &c., have been
so much injured by the late dry weather that a very light
crop is expected. 'The vine has been highly favoured by the
weather of the last month, and the late rains have tended
much to improve the swelling of the fruit; its vigorous
growth is a matter of astonishment even to those who daily
watch its progress. From the failure in the crop of certain
vineyards, and the havoc caused by the late storms, we may
however calculate that this year will be but a middling one
with regard to quantity, but there is every reason to hope
that the quality will be good. If the present weather con-
tinues, we tray expect the vintage to commence in the early
part of September."

awing from Ceuta, dated

July 4 :
" The Emperor of Morocco has placed under the command
of the Governor of Tetuan the province of Anchors, which
joins our territory, and the other provinces near it, and has
separated it from the pachalic of Tangiers. For this purpose
a new Governor has been appvinted at Tetuan, and an alcalde
for the contiguous territory, who have paid a visit to the Spa-
nish General, and expressed their wish to preserve the good
harmony which at preseni exists between them. An officer,
with an escort of horsemen, and accompanied by an inter-
preter, has also paid a visit, and expresser., on the part of his
Excellency, the same pacific sentiments."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 4,000 to
5,000 bales, at firm rates. Shares were much the same. The
Stock Exchange is to be closed from Wednesday, the 29th
instant, to Monday, Aug. 3, owing to the visit of Prince
Albert ; and the settling day for the end of the month, is
fixed for Aug. 3.
There appears still to be a good deal of uncertainty
respecting the cotton crop, and it is as much as a writer on
this side of the Atlantic can do to steer clear of error by con-
sulting conflicting authorities, and endeavouring to elicit
something tangible from the whole. In the accounts re-
ceived this week, we find various prognostications of short
crops, and among them the following, by a firm in one of the
southern states:—

"These figures speak so conclusively for themselves,
that without entering into any elaborate argument,
they must tend to place the future prospects of the
planter in a more flattering light than we have been
enabled to represent them for some two or three years
past. The only circumstance that could materially
affect these expectations would be the recurrence of an over-
whelming crop, an event which the developments of the sea-
son thus far scarcely lead us to apprehend. On the contrary,
the accounts from various sections of the country induce us
to the opposite belief, inasmuch as the cold and rainy spring
has, in many portions of the cotton-growing regions, inflicted
such severe injury on the plant, that without venturing on
any estimates with regard to the yield, we may be permitted
to say that there is not much prospect of any great excess
next season."

Rather more favourable advices reach us from the German
wool fairs, and the sales were brisker. _ _ .
