BENEFIT will take place

The House divided on the fifth clause, respecting
the running of third-class carriages on Sundays, when
Ministers were left in a minority of 32.
Several Members announced that they would make
no further opposition to the Bill.
Clauses up to 24 were agreed to, and the House
resumed.
The Joint-Stock Companies Bill was read a third
time and passed. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill
was also read a third time and passed.
A brief conversation then took place relative to
Captain WARNER'S experiment against the John
o'Gaunt at Brighton, but, unfortunately, little in-
formation was communicated respecting the manner
in which the operation was conducted. .Notwith-
standing the report read by Lord INGESTRE the pub-
lic will suspend their judgment. So much secrecy
has been observed that persons tolerably well in-
formed are as incredulous of Captain WARNER'S ex-
ploits as those of Monsieur ALEXIS.
Mr. SHELL brought forward his motion relative to
the possessions of the French in Algiers in an altered
shape. The original motion was for a Committee of
Inquiry, but in introducing the subject last
evening he simply moved for papers. Af-
ter giving historical details of the occupation
of Algiers by the French, and the heavy duties im-
posed on foreign manufactures, he concluded by
moving for papers, in order to show how far the pos-
session of that country by the French was consistent
with the political and commercial interests of this
country.

By an official letter which has been received at the
Castle and forwarded from thence to the Lord Mayor,
it appears that the new Viceroy will arrive in Dublin
on Friday, the 26th instant. Being well aware, as
he must necessarily be, of the utter failure of the
shilly-shally system of policy pursued by his prede-
cessor, it is to be hoped that he will see fit to adopt
without delay a totally new system, and exhibit, by
deeds as well as words, a sincere disposition to pro-
mote the welfare of that exciteable and aggrieved
country over which he is placed in authority.
Hitherto, the policy of the Irish Lord Lieu-
tenants has been, with one or two rare ex-
ceptions, to rule for the benefit of a party,
not of a people ; and to show the vast
mass of the liberal Catholic population that they are
still held in distrust, notwithstanding that the Eman-
cipation Bill professed for its leading object the doing
away with all invidious distinctions between them
and the Protestants. But this policy, founded on the
principle of an unworthy jealousy, can no longer be
pursued with safety. We see how egregiously it bas
failed in the instance of Lord DE GREY, who with
the language of impartiality ever on his lip gave
every encouragement to the spirit of partisanship—
the curse of Ireland from time immemorial ; and he
who would endeavour to persevere in this one-sided
system ofgovernment, 'can anticipate none other than
a humiliating and disastrous issue to his perverse exer-
tions. Lord HEYTESBURY has now as fair an opportunity
as statesman ever had, of achieving for himself high
renown as a politician, and earning the respect and
gratitude of all classes of Irishmen. It is not ex-
pected of hiin that he shall favour the Catholics to
the injury of the Protestants, but simply that he shall
administer equal justice to both parties, and show that
there are no longer divided councils at the Castle by
whose malign influence every useful remedial measure
is sure either to be strangled at its birth, or else to be
so frittered away and clogged with mischievous ex-
ceptions as to be rendered nearly, if not quite, ineffi-
cient for any practical purpose. Till now—if we
except the administration of Lords NORMANBY and
FORTESCTYE, so fruitful of good results—the Lord
Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary have usually
been opposed to each other in their views, the one
acting as a sort of drag-chain on the other, to curb
his movements, and paralyse his measures, should
they chance at any time to sin on the side of liberality.
Thus . was it throughout the whole course of Earl de
GREY'S administration. The Chief Secretary, Lord
ELIOT, being considered somewhat too liberal for
such an official, the Viceroy deemed it his duty to coun-
teract his views, or if not absolutely counteract them, at
any rate to throw a variety of insidious obstacles in the
way of their accomplishment. If Lord ELIOT pulled
one way, Lord Ds GREY immediately made a point
of pulling another, and the consequence was that
little or nothing of vital i4nportance to the interests
of Ireland was done, and people began to wonder—
not taking into consideration the difficulties and
delicacies of his position—how it was that a man
who professed such liberal opinions as the Chief
Secretary had always done, and who had openly
boasted of them not a month before his entrance upon
office at the Castle, should have accomplished so little
that was in- accordance with his professions Lord
ELIOT suffered much in public estimation from this
apparent lethargy and indifference on his part; but
the fault was not so much his, as the fault of a pur-
blind, vicious system of which he was made the scape-
goat. Henceforth, however, if our anticipation of
Lord HEYTESBURY'S course of policy prove to be
correct, Lord ELIOT will have a finer opportunity
than he has yet had, of carrying his liberal views
into practice. He will not be teazed and thwarted,
and obstructed at every step of his progress, and be
worried into moving in one direction, when he feels
that he ought to move in another ; nor will he be

taunted with being two liberal, when he feels that,
if anything, he his hardly liberal enough, for it is

hardly possible to suppose that so experienced and
thoroughly practical a statesman as Lord HEYTES-

BURY, who has seen so much of life in all its forms

and varieties, and who has passed so many years
in the public service, during which he cannot fail to

have noted the steady, uninterrupted progress of libe-
ral opinions both at home and abroad—it is hardly
possible, we say, to imagine that such a statesman can
seriously dream for an instant of persevering in the
Irish policy of his predecessor, more especially when,
from first to last, it has proved so egregious a failure.
Hence 'se may expect to find the Viceroy and his
Secretary acting in a spirit of mutual harmony, in-
stead of doing their best to hamper and embarass each
other.

More State murders, for we can give no other
name to the executions ordered by NARVAEZ, have
been committed in the east of Spain. It appears
that three Carlists and two smugglers were arrested
in the month of June, at Caspe, a town in Arragon,
and their trial before the Criminal Court of the dis-
trict was fixed for the Bth inst. The trial had com-
menced, the evidence for the prosecution was closed,
and the Counsel for the defendants were allowed till
the 12th to prepare the defence. But superior orders
put an end to the trial. An officer, commanding
a detachment of twenty infantry and nine ca-
valry, arrived from Alcaniz, at Caspe, on the
evening of the Bth. Next day the three unhappy
Carlists were removed from their dungeons and en-
