respect to the position of a Minister of the Crown. I am
proud of the confidence, as any man can be, which a great
party has placed in me ; still 'never can admit that he owes
any personal obligation to those members who have
placed him in a certain position, and I should consider
it as the happiest day of my life when I was permitted
to act merely as an indvidual Member of Parliament,
unconnected even with party, rather than continue to
hold office by the servile tenure of the advice I give to
my Sovereign upon every subject being exactly in con-
formity with every opinion which every member of that
party might hold." Lord Jour; RUSSELL, after ap-
proving of the measures of the Government, declared
that no party views should induce him to oppose what
he thought right, and added:--
" I would say to the Government, g Do net stop short with
this measure, as you see you have no party differences to fear when
you bring forward measures really advantageous to Ireland. What-
ever obstacles you may meet with, you will not be encountered by
the anxiety of those who have lost power to possess themselves of
office; expect a majority of this House to go-with you if you
fairly and boldly declare your intentions, and rely, as the Right
Hon. Gentleman declares he will, on the value of those measures
themselves for the support and acceptance they will receive.'"

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Morning .. 52 minutes after 1 I Evening .. 18 minutes after 2.

From these sentiments we are led to anticipate the
dowufal of all those narrow party views which fur so
many years have disgraced our Legislature, divided states-
men into placemen and expectants, caused questions of
right and wrong to be regarded but as factious disputes,
and given rise to that fatal system of expediency, the curse
of modern legislation, which has proved alike destruc-
tive to the fame of parliaments and Ministers, and op-
posed to the happiness and welfare of the people.

The accounts from Madrid, which are to the 14th inst., are
without interest. The Chamber of Deputies had adjourned
to the 16th, when it was understood the Cortes would be
prorogued by the QUEEN in person. The Court was to leave
for Barcelona about the 24th.

The Three per Cents. closed at 34 3-16 for cash, and 35 at
60 days; the Five per Cents. at 241 for cash, and 25i for 60
days; the Coupons at 27i for cash; and the Debt without
Interest, at 8i at 60 days.

In the French_ Chamber of Deputies, the Minister of Fi-
nance, in reply to questions put to him relative to the propo-
sition of M. GANNERON to raise the sum of 25,000,0001. on
certain conditions for the construction of railroads, said he
could not accept such an offer. The demands were exor-

bitant, and he had too good an opinion of the
credit of France to contract loans on such disad-
vantageous terms. The adoption of the line by Haze-
brouck and Fampoux had caused unbounded joy among the
delegates from the department of Pas-de-Calais. One of the
Paris papers says—" Scarcely had the President declared the
amendment adopted, when they fell into one another's arms,
and tumultuously rushed to the Salle des Pas-Perdus, which
the members for the north and Pas-de-Calais were
at the time entering. The latter were immediately
seized and embraced. The ladies from Fampoux and
Hazebrouck, unable to resist so much enthusiasm, fell
into the arms of the Hon. Gentlemen. At length the emo-
tion subsided, and the Delegates, storming a table allotted
to the officers of the Chamber, who draw up the reports of
the discussions in the Committees, hastened with every paper
and pen they could pounce upon, to transmit the glorious
news to Fampoux and Hazebrouck." At the opening of the
sitting on Tuesday the Minister of Public Works presented a
Bill for regulating the police of the Channel fisheries, and
also two other Bills, one demanding a vote o
5,000,000 francs to construct a wet dock at St. Nazaire
and the other 3,000,000 f. for works on the Adour, between
Bayonne and St. Esprit. The Chamber then resumed the dis-
cussion on the northern line, when it was proposed that the
condition of the contract for the branch line from Haze-
brouck to Fampoux should be the same as for the St.
Quentin and St. Creil line, and , that the security
should be fixed at 1,500,000 f. This clause was adopted
as well as another, of some importance to Boulogne and Ca-
lais, that no reduction of fares or charges for goods should
take place on the lines to these towns which should not be
common to both. The debate on the fourth clause relative
to the duration of the concession was going on at the hour of
post. The Government had proposed a period of 45 years, and
the Committee on the Bill had reduced it to 33.

The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tues-
day, at 86f. 25c. ; the New, Loan, at 86f. 65c. ; the Five
per Cents. at 122 f. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,252 f. 50c.;

DIVISIONS ON THE MAYNOOTH BILL.-The number of
Members who divided on the third reading this morning
were :—Ayes, 317 ; Noes, 184 ; Tellers, 4—Total, 505.
The number of Members present at the division on the
second reading, which took place on the morning of the
18th of April, was 503, being two less than in
the last division, and were arranged as follows :
Ayes, 323 ; Noes, 176 ; Tellers, 4. So that the ayes on
the second reading exceeded those of the third by 6, and
the noes were less by B—a very trifling difference after
so many speeches, both in the Rouse and out of it,
On looking over the lists we can discover the names of
only three Members who have changed sides. These are
the Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY, Mr. JOSEPH BROTIIERTON,
and Admiral DUNDAS, who reversed their votes. Mr.
POULETT SCROPE voted for the second reading, but was
absent at the third. Mr. ALEXANDER PRINGLE voted
against it, and was also absent at the division this morn-
ing. Mr. WAWN voted consistently at both divisions in
support of the measure.

There are no late arrivals to.day from any quarter.
The ungenial state of the weather is much complained of
by all who- are connected with the piece-goods and fancy
trades, and the sales usually effected about this time have
been much diminished in consequence. In sugar, coffee, and
other articles of large consumption, there is more business
doing than for some time past.
The Funds have been steady this morning., but scarcely so
high as yesterday. Consols have been 991 y,B for present
transfer, and about 99% for account. Exchequer-bills
have realised 58s. to 60s. premium. Bank Stock has been
marked 211, and India Stock 279, being very firm. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 1011 A %, and the Three
per Cents. 981/1 to 96%.
Spanish Bonds have been at about previous rates, but there
is no disposition to speculate in them. The Five per Cents.
are 304 A, and the Three per Cents. 42%. Portuguese
Converted have touched 673/4, and Brazilian 90. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. brie 633/4 %. French Three
per Cent. Scrip has been done at 11,4 premium.
The Share Market is pretty well supported in most in-
stances. The most extraordinary movement, however, is the
continued rise in Great North of England, which have
touched 120 premium, the shares being apparently in first.
rate hands. The French lines are not in general so buoyant,
and the same may be said of the other Foreign Shares. The
English Scrip Shares are relatively not so good as those of
the established lines.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DA Y.)
The Lord Chancellor sat for the first time to.day in his Court at
Westminster since the last day of Easter Term. This was the
first day of Trinity Term, but in consequence of the arrange-
ments that have been made for the purpose of facilitating the dis-
patch of public business, his Lordship did not entertain the Judges,
Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast, but took
his seat at eleven o'clock.
The whole morning was occupied with the hearing of motions.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
Nothing of public interest occurred in the Vice- Chancellor of
England's Court. His Honour took motions, after having given
judgment in the case of " Fleming v. Swinerton," which came
before the Court on demurrer.
Nothing of any public interest took place in the Courts of Vice-
Chancellor Knight Bruce and Vice• Chancellor Wigram.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(PHIS DAY.)
Although this is the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges did
not breakfast with the Lord Chancellor, and the Courts of Law
were consequently opened at an earlier hour than usual.
The Judges of the Courts of Queen's Bench and Exchequer
appeared in their respective Courts shortly before eleven o'clock.
The Judges of the Court of Common Pleas did not take their
seats on the berch until one o'clock.
There was no case of interest heard in either of the Courts during
the course of the morning. There is posted in the passage leading
to the Court of Queen's Bench a list of enlarged rules, which will
be argued this term In the Bail Court ; two cases, in the order in
