LONDON, FRIDAY. JUNE 13, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five o'clock.
The Bail in Error Bill was read a third time, and the
Deodand Abolition Bill was reported.
Lord PORT3IAN then brought in the Tenants Com-
pensation Bill, which was read a first time. The great
feature of this Bill, which refers to England, is, that

tenants holding under a lease for three years or up-
wards, shall have the power, within six months after the
expiration of the lease, of demanding compensation for
any improvements they may have made, and that, in the
event of any dispute, the demand should be referred to
two persons, one of whom must be a justice of the peace,
an appeal lying from their decision to the quarter sessions
or to a court of law.

Lord DACRE postponed the second reading of the
Game Bill till Tuesday, and their Lordships adjourned.
The House of Commons met at Four o'clock.

A new writ was ordered for the county of Edinburgh,
in the room of Mr. RAMSEY, who has accepted the Chil-
tern Hundreds.

The Government refused to postpone either the Irish
Banking Bill or the Irish Colleges Bill.
The Scotch Banking Bill was read a third time and
passed, after a protest on the part of Mr. Fox MAULE
against the measure.
The LORD-ADVOCATE then moved the second reading
of the Poor-law Amendment (Scotland) Bill.
Mr. RUTHERFORD opposed the motion.

The House was subsequently addressed by Lord
ARUNDEL, Colonel WooD, and Mr. SHARMAN CRAW-
FORD, when

Mr. Locu, in allusion to recent events in Sutherland-
shire, stated that the accounts of the distress in that
district were not true. There were no tenantry better
treated than those of Sutherlandshire, and none more
flourishing.

The LORD-ADVOCATE, in reply, while stating his dis•
approval of a system of wholesale ejectment, admitted
that the reports of what had occurred at Glencarrie
had been greatly exaggerated ; and that, so far from
the ejected tenants being in a state of destitution,
several hundred pounds had been paid to them as the
value of their stock.

Mr. HUME, Mr. COLQUROUN, Mr. E. ELLICE, Mr. R.
SCOTT, Mr. P. M. STEWART, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr.
Fox MAULE, and several other Hon. Members, subse-
quently addressed the House, and eventually the Bill was
read a second time, and ordered to be committed.

The report on the Irish Banking Bill was then brought
up, and after the amendment of several clauses, the Bill
was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on
Monday.

The House then adjourned, at Half-past One o'clock.

If we may judge from the accounts lately received
from Ireland, and especially from the speeches made at
the banquet given to Mr. 0' CONNELL and the other re-
peal martyrs, on Monday, at Cork, the progress of the
repeal 'question is becoming every day more rapid, and
on the assembling of the new Parliament at least two-
thirds of the Irish Members will be pledged not
only to repeal, but to a total separation of the
two countries. The former cannot take place without
being followed to a certainty by the latter. These mem-
bers are, in the first place, to abjure attendance on tke
Imperial Legislature. They are to devote their labonrs
solely to the business brought before ,the assembly held
in Conciliation-hall, and all who do not obey this new
order, those who cling to the Union, or Federalism,
or any other ism, but:i patriotism, will become
marked characters, and be held up to indignant Ireland
as Saxons aid aliens. Whatever may be said of the
religious feeling, this sentiment of nationality forms the
strongest objection on the part of the repealers to the
Academies' Bill. The Catholic prelates have pro-
nounced the Bill injurious to faith and morals, and,
Mr. O'CONNELL joins with Sir ROBERT INGLIS
in denouncing it as, a "gigantic scheme of Godless
education ;" but he has another, more sub-
stantial reason for opposing a measure, which in time
might amalgamate Catholics and Protestants—destroy na-
tional prejudices—and make two nations, formed by
nature for friendship, one and indivisible. 44 Let the
English," said Mr. O'CONNELL, " mix the education
as they like, there shall be no connexion ; we
will spurn the cup from our lips." This is
plain language, and the Government may depend
upon it O'CoNsTELL will keep his word. No com-
munion between England and Ireland will be en-
dured. If the Irish House of Commons is not held
on College-green as yet, it must be held in Conciliation
Hall till that site is prepared. All Irish business
must be transacted there, and all their decisions
ratified—not, of course, by the Imperial Parlia-
ment and the SOVEREIGN in Council—but by the
voice of the Irish people. In fact, this is another ex-
periment of the same character as the celebrated Clare
election, but the question is—can it have the same suc-
cess? We believe not. The great strength of the
emancipators at that time was to be found in Great
Britain. MajoritiaN in the House of Commons had re-
peatedly declared for Catholic emancipation, and, as in
the case of Mayaooth, with some exceptions we admit,
the first statesmen of both parties rose superior to re.
ligious prepossessions and groundless fears—a very
powerful and intelligent minority supported it in the
House of Lords, and so strong were the united forces,
that this great measure of justice was carried, in apposi-
tion to the most determined obstinacy of the Sovereign,
backed by the bishops, the clergy, and a large
portion of the community. flow different is the
cause of repeal ! It contains not one com-
ponent part of the force which carried emanci-
pation, if we except Mr. O'CONNELL and his adherents.
Lords and Commons to a man are not only opposed to
it, but they are prepared to incur e very hazard,
to employ every legitimate means, to use, in fact,
the whole strength of the nation in resisting
a scheme which, if carried into effect, would involve the
ultimate ruin of both countries. The Parliament, how-
ever, do not stand alone. They have the cordial sup-
port of the SOVEREIGN and people. The attempt, there-
fore, to carry the measure by peaceable means is hope-
less, and respecting any other means we must observe
a discreet silence ; but the course which the
Government of this country have to pursue,
whether Whig or Tory, Liberal or Conservative, in
order to put down all reasonable demands for repeal, is
clear and defined. Irish grievances must be redressed;
Ireland must be put on a footing with Engiand and Scot-
land, and among the rest of the community we include
the Catholic clergy. When. these things are done—
when the union is made a just bond of alliance—then
will repeal be set at rest, and Mr. O'CONNELL'S occupa-
tion be gone.

It is pleasing to find so extensive a degree of public
attention awakened to the condition of our national de-
fences, as we find by every day's experience to be the
case. That so little should yet have been accomplished
towards the reparation of forts and batteries on the most
vulnerable part of our coasts—and absolutely nothing in
the construction of harbours of refuge—after the reports
of Committees during three successive sessions, is really
some matter of reproach to the Ministry upon whom the
responsibility of making the necessary preparations in
relation to these matters has been so often pressed. It
is rather a specious than a solid defence, to r:-.y
that the Government is distracted by the lumerous
directions in which the remonstrance
.."4 and the distinctly expressed of the public,
wishes of the Le-
gislatureed upon them. They are
c
ent duty of repairing the harged with have
the beeni;elo
a unr'-6
im-
provident err :iis they have committed in the original
construction, and subsequent so-called amendments and
reparations of ships of war, which appear to be built
only for the purpose of being tak en to pieces again ; to
be heightened only to be lowered ; to be narrowed only
to be widened again ; to come out in one rate of force
only to be transferred into another. Then it is strenu-
ously insisted that the first arm of our naval force, being
its steam arm, the first employment of the public money
upon our steamers of war should be appropriated to the
removal of their engines below the water line, so as to
be out of the reach of shot in any engagement ; and
this, the rather, as the wise determination to
introduce as much as possible the marvellous
powers of the Archimedean screw and the ship-propeller
afforded excellent opportunities for dismissing the un-
sightly and dangerous excrescences of paddle-boxes and
external wheels at the sides altogether. What must
have added to the segation, no doubt, of these strenu-
ously urged suggestions has been, the conviction that
they are founded in truth. If they had been otherwise,
they would soon have been dismissed from official minds,
accustomed to the methodical erasure equally with the
methodical impression of transitory hypotheses—to be
entertained or dismissed exactly as they may suit the
present purpose of the Government.

Then Sir C. NAPIER and Captain BERKELEY hate
tormented the Admiralty into reluctant admissions of the
combined absurdity and peril of sending out the same
ships to sea at different periods—that is in times of peace
and times of war—with different complements of men to
work and manceuvre them. The whole British Parlia-
ment and people are of opinion that the complement
should be " complement"—that is, the complete
crew, in all cases, and under all circumstances, so long
as the craft is afloat on duty, and has the same guns to
'oe served and sails to be handled,

RELEASE OF MR. CARUS WILSON.—We have re-
ceived an extract of a letter from Jersey, dated Wed-
nesday, June 11, which brings information that the civic
authorities had held a long consultation on the
case of Mr. Wilson. Several of them contended that
they had entered on a process of which they could
see no end—that the expense would be enormous, and
that it was much better to give up the contest, and throw
open the prison doors to Mr. Wilson. This opinion
prevailed, the decision was forwarded to the gaoler, and
on Wednesday at three o'clock that gentleman was set
at liberty.

Then the Ministers have been sore perplexed with the
irresistible case established for more efficient and pon-
derous armaments, on the one hand, and the total or
partial incapacity of some of our most expensive war-
steamers to carry them, without previous adaptation for
such a charge of metal and calibre, on the other.
This necessity could be still less disputed—
for the Commodore's " unsparing exition " cf this " department" of the blunders of ourpos modern
naval architecture had all the force of a mathematical
demonstration. There, was no help for it—Ministerf

DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM WINDSOR.
WINDSOR, MURSDAY ETENING.—Her Majesty and the Prince
Consort, accompanied by the Royal Family, the Duke and Duchess
de Nemours, &c., will take their departure to-morrow from the
Castle, for town. The Court will leave in the morning by a ape.
cial train from Slough to Paddington, so as to reach London to
luncheon. Her Majesty will give a grand banquet and evening
party tomorrow at Buckingham Palace. Between 50 and 60
royal si id distinguished guests have had the honour of receiving
invitittio ns. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will also
leave gmore Lime, for London, to-morrow,

were compelled to pledge themselves, as to this abuse,
to " reform it instantly." More money is thus to be ex-
pended than even the large margin taken for the navy
estimates of the present year will allow for. But there
was a surplus in the beginning of the session of re-
venue over expenditure, and if there had not been, the
public would never grudge, towards making provision for
the greater efficiency of the navy, a credit to a far
greater extent still. But to all these exigencies we may
add others which were to be immediately met ;
and yet, the fact that they all existed can-
not justify the Government for postponing, so
long, the commencement of a vigorous prosecution
of these great works, the vital, instant, indispen-
sable demand for which could not have been more
powerfully expressed than by the simple, unaffected, but
decided testimony and opinions elicited from the Duke
of WELLINGTON when under examination as a witness.
It is, however, of little moment who or what has consti-
tuted the cause of this delay. The essential point to be
forced upon the Government is, that it be no longer
suffered to intervene. At what hour the peril may be
realised no man can foretel; but every man will hold
that Government responsible for the consequences,
which is not—after the Reports of Select Committees,
the evidence of witnesses of the first professional and
scientific distinction in Europe, and the emphatically
expressed wish of the Legislature—fully prepared to
encounter that peril, how formidable or various soever it
may prove. If the estuary of the Thames, on the
breaking out of some unfortunate hostilities in Europe,
should be still in that unprotected condition which the
Duke of WELLINGTON showed would in such a case of
circumstances prove absolutely destructive to the whole
commerce of London, the CHANCELLOR of the ExCHE•
QUER, to whose reluctance to make provision for the ex-
penses of such forts and harbours of refuge as have been
proposed, the utter stagnation of all exertions in that
direction is attributed, will find himself in no enviable
position. How long is the construction of these har-
bours, the erection of the block-houses, and other
forts on our southern coasts, which the Duke has
so pointedly recommended, to be postponed ? We
shall endeavour to show in a further paper on this sub-
ject in what respect we may most usefully improve upon
the system adopted by the French Government for
manning the navy, and upholding the service in a con-
dition of—not temporary, but—permanent efficiency.
This object cannot be accomplished without a greatly
enhauced charge for the provision, maintenance, and
further encouragement of our able seamen, ,vhich this
country ought•long ago to have extended to them. On the
same occasion we propose criticising one or two remark-
able papers of suggestions for the external defence of
our coasts and our colonies which have lately been pro-
mulgated, and from which we shall derive matters tend-
ing remarkably to corroborate the views we have from
time to time submitted in reference to considerations so
intimately connected with the welfare of this empire—so
rashly, as we think, put in abeyance, for a term the
longer or shorter duration of which no human foresight
can, from any given moment, determine.

Accounts from Madrid of the sth state that the abdi-
cation of Don CARLOS, and the manifesto of his son,
were received by the Government on the previous day,
and in the course of the evening a Cabinet Council was
held, but the result did not traospire. After the break-
ing up of the Council the Minister of Marine left for
Barcelona. The Heraldo publishes the documents, and
remarks that humanity and justice required a different
conduct from the august exiles—.meaning an uncondi-
tional abdication. The QUEEN was to sleep at Tortosa
en the 3d.

The Three per Cents. closed at 31 3-16 for cash, and
32* at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 214 at 60 days;
and the Debt without Interest at 7 at 60 days.

We gave yesterday the substance of M. GUIZOT'S
speech, in the Chamber of Deputies, on the foreign rela-
tions of France, and find little in the papers of any im-
portance which we can add to it. With regard to Spain
he had not much to say. The abdication of Don CARLOS
would make no change in the policy of France. The
Sovereign of Spain is still Queen ISABELLA—there is—
there can be no other. As respects the marriage, it
is essentially a Spanish question, and Spain must judge
and act for herself. " Spain," said he, " remained
perfectly free as to the question of marriage, but we
continue to have confidence in her prudence, and we
believe that she comprehends that the marriage ought to
draw still more closely /ler tie of connexion with France
of July." As to cite right of search, he said the treaty
of 1841, whi`fn was ready for signature but never had
been siwied, was not his work. It was not he who had
prepared it. For the part he had taken in the new con-
vention he claimed some merit. The Opposition said it
had been slowly conducted, but," he added, " it had
been necessary to conduct the negotiations leisurely, and
to point out that they were the real wish of the nation,
and likely to be efficacious for the suppression of the
slave-trade. He would repeat what he had several
times said, that from the very first day that he had taken
the subject seriously into consideration, he had never
ceased occupying himself with it. It had been for
some time past the custom to say, whenever their
foreign relations were alluded to, that the Govern-
ment had humiliated and sacrificed the country; but he
would most positively deny that France had, under the
Government of July, and particularly under the present
Cabinet, lost any of her influence abroad. Let them go
to foreign countries, and they would hear their Govern-
ments and their inhabitants declare that the power and
influence of France was, on the contrary, increasing
every day."

The Journal des Debats thus briefly adverts to the
speech of M. GUIZOT and the new treaty :-
" After an absence of two months, M. Guizot made his reap.
pearace in the tribune, and obtained one of the most brilliant of the
successes which have distinguished his career as a statesman and an
orator. The Opposition itself seemed for the moment to subdue
its passions, that it might give itself up to the pleasure of listening
to his eloquent voice. Did M. Billault wish to furnish M. Guizot
a triumph ? If so, we owe our best thanks to the honourable
Member of the Left Centre. His intention must have been
fully gratified, and even, perhaps, beyond his hopes. We shall
confine ourselves to-day to being simple reporters. After
giving the speech of M. Guizot, what is left for us to do ? At
the opening of the sitting the Minister of the Marine presented
the Bill for granting the extraordinary credit required for car.
rying into execution the treaty which replaces the right of
search. The reasons for the Bill are accompanied by the text
of the treaty and the instructions which explain its spirit and
meaning. We publish these important documents. Let
us be permitted to make a single remark. Not six months
ago, one of the greatest statesmen of the country, Count
Mole, declared In the Chamber of Peers, that he could find no
substitute for the right of search. Count Mole treated as a chi-
mera the hope of going back from the treaties of IF4 3 1 and 1833.
This chimera, however, has already become a reality. These late
negotiations, which could not then be thought of, have produced a
result which was believed to be Impossible. The treaties of 1831
and 1833 exist no longer. The right of search is abolished. M.
Guizot has kept his Prom? ,es, and the wish of the Chamber is ful-
filled; for our me":",:oant ships will be henceforth replaced under
the exclusi..e of the tri-coloured flag."
.che Constitutionnel says the statement which appeared
in the Revue de Paris, announcing that Admiral
DUPETIT TUOUARS bad been appointed to the command
of the preventive squadron on the African coast is
without the slightest foundation. Rear-Admiral DE
AlocEs was appointed to that post at the Council held
on Sunday, and Captain BRUIT is to be the second in
command. The .4kbar of Algiers states that on the 2d
inst. Marshal BUGEAUD had an engagement with the
Arabs near Orleansville, and defeated them, killing 50,
capturing 150, and taking a considerable quantity of cattle.
The squadron of evolution, under the command ofAdmiral
PARSEVAL DESCRAINES, was getting ready in the road-
stead of Toulon on the 7th. It is to consist of the fol.
lowing vessels :-The Ocean, Captain JACQUENOT, with
the flag of Admiral PARSEVAL; Inflexible, Jemmapes,
Alger, Diademe, Marengo, Triton, Neptune, the frigate
Belle Poule, and the steam-frigate Orenoque.
