LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five.

Among the petitions presented were several against
the Maynooth Bill. Among them one was presented by
the Bishop of DURHAM, who stated that he did not agree
with the petitioners, but on the contrary thought that
great merit was due to the Government for introducing
the measure.

In answer to Earl Powis the Duke of WELLINGTON
stated that Ministers had not received her MAJESTY'S
permission to consent to the progress of the Bill for pre-
venting the uhion of the Sees of St. Asaph and Bangor ;
and Earl Powis gave notice that he would, on Monday,
state the course he intended to pursue.
Lord BROUGHAM moved that the standing orders re-
specting railways, which he had brought under the con
sideration of the House, should be printed.
Lord CLANRICARDE brought in a Bill for extending
the elective franchise to persons paying the income-
tax, which was read a first time.

The Bastardy Bill was read a third time and passed.

Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a return of all grants for
religious purposes to the colonies, which was agreed to,
and their Lordships adjourned.

The House of Commons met at Four.

Lord G. SOMERSET moved a resolution to deprive
Counsel before Railway Committees of the privilege of
summing up. Finding, however, that his proposition
was opposed, the Noble Lord withdrew his motion.
Mr. HUME gave notice that he should not bring for-
ward his motion on the subject of the recal of Lord EL-
LENBOROUGH, until the Government should be freed
from the annoyance of the opposition to the Maynoot..
grant.

In answer to Lord IlowlcK, it was stated by Lcrd G
SOMERSET that no order bad been made on the subject
of laying the Reports of the Board of Trade before the
Committees on the various Railway Bills which meet on
Monday. A short conversation ensued, in the course of
which several Hon. Members animadverted in severe
terms on the carelessness which had characterised the
proceedings of the Railway Department of the Board of
Trade from first to last.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he intended, on Mon-
day, to state the terms of the motion which he intended
to bring forward, on the Ist of May, on the condition of
the labouring daises.
Sir R. PEEL stated, that in the event of the discus-
on the Maynooth Bill closing to-night, he intended
to move, on Monday, that the House do go into Com-
mittee for the purpose of taking the money vote on the
Bill.

The adjourned debate on the Maynooth Bill was then
resumed by Mr. S. CRAWFORD, who, although he gave
full credit to the Government for proposing the measure
with the kindest disposition towards Ireland, yet felt
compelled to oppose it, as it was contrary to the volun-
tary principle.
Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON supported the motion.
Mr. MUNTZ was opposed to all State endowments,
and therefore he could not support the motion.
Mr. NEVILLE and Mr. BELLEW supported the measure.

Mr. COBDEN considered the question not as a theo-
logical, but as an educational one, and on that ground he
supported the measure.
Mr. FERRAND denounced the Ministry as having
violated every pledge which they had given at the last
election, and opposed the measure as pregnant with
danger to the established religion of the country.
Mr. SHELL said that the inevitable consequence
of not granting the measure would be the increase
of the repeal agitation. He was glad that the
Queen had been alluded to in the course of
the debate, because it gave him the opportu-
nity of stating that the Queen was personally at-
tached to Ireland. She had expressed to Mr. O'Com-
NELL her gratification at his elevation to municipal
office. She had expressed to Earl DE GREY her desire
that the Administration should be one of conciliation to
Ireland, and he hoped the day would never come
when a majority of the House of Commons
would step in between the loyalty of the Irish people
and the affection of the Sovereign towards them. In
Canada, where justice had been done to the Catholic
clergy, their loyalty had been a principal means of
preserving the allegiance of that colony to
the mother country. Let them pursue the same
course towards the Catholic Clergy of Ireland, and the
innate loyalty of the Irish nation would manifest its de-
voted loyalty to the SOVEREIGN, whom they loved for
her virtues and for the affection which she had ever
manifested towards her Irish subjects.
Mr. LAW, in a very vehement speech, which was lis-
teeed to with great impatience, opposed the motion.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE defended the course which had
been pursued by the Protestant Dissenters with regard
to this question, and felt bound, as an advocate of the
voluntary principle, to oppose the motion.

Lord J. RUSSELL would have been content to have
given a silent vote on this question, had it not been out of
re,pect to the numerous petitions which had been pre-
sented on this subject. Irish questions had always been
a source of weakness to this country, and, therefore, he
considered it of the utmost importahce that every oppor-
tunity should be taken of settling them. Ile regretted
the intolerance and bigotry which had been displayed in
relation to this question ; but believing the measure pro-
posed by the Government to be for the good of the
nation, he felt bound to support it.
Sir R. INGLIs said that the measure of the Go-
vernment was against the policy of all those who
had endeavoured to make Protestantism the religion of
the United Kingdom, and as a conscientious Pro •
testant he felt bound to oppose it.

Sir B. PEEL, in a brilliant speech, replied at great
length to all the arguments which had been adduced
against the measure.
The House then divided, when there appeared for the
amendment, 176; against it, 323; majority for the second
reading, 147.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved
that the House do resolve itself into a Com-
mittee on the Bill on Monday, which was op-
posed by Sir ROBERT H. INGLIS, Mr. SHAW, Mr.
PLU3IPTRE, and Mr. DUNCOMBE, who divided the
House, when there appeared for the motion, 61; against
it, 25; majority in favour of going intothe Committee on
Monday, 36. _ _

The House adjourned at half-past Three o'clock.

The result of the division on the Maynooth grant,
which took place this morning, is only what might have
been expected. After declarations in favour of the
measure from so many representatives who usually
oppose the Government, and taking into account the
influence of the Cabinet on the Conservative party, it
was calculated that the majority would not be less than
130, and the actual number falls short of that only by
three. Though we rejoice at the result chiefly for the
peace of Ireland, and the integrity of the empire, the
satisfaction is modified by the reflection that it resembles
the victory of one of the contending parties in a civil
war. A great contest has been carried on now
for nearly three weeks, in which the Liberals
have been fighting with each other, their opponents
being placed in the same predicament, and victory has
at. last declared for those who vote against their poli-
ttieoal interests, who prefkr duty to any selfish considera-

given the lie to these wicked calumnies, and saved theiro
enemies from absolute destruction. This is a
sacrifice which, as regards politics, is above
all price, but they have made still greater sacri-
flees—they have offended several of their staunch
suppefrters, they have weakened their interest in many
large constituencies, and produced a coldness among
not a few of their ardent admirers, by refusing to join in
the cry against the Catholic religion. It would be dif-
ficult, nay, as far as our recollection serves, impossible
to point out in the history of this country so aoble a

display of political virtue in any one great party in the
State, and it reflects an imperishable lustre on the Whigs,
and seals their character for consistency and disin-
terestedness ; but how the act contrasts with that of
their opponents, who cast to the winds, for the sake of
place, every consideration that should guide human
conduct, reprobated the conduct of Lord NORMANDY
and Lord Esnescroer, for their attachment to the
Irish people, threw every obstacle in the way of
reconciliation, goaded the people to madness by regis-
tration Bills, by opposing corporation reform, and con-
stantly upbraiding the Melbourne Government because
they did not by sabres and bullets put down the just
complaints of an entire nation ! That was not all. The
very clergy of the people, so revered by their flocks, were
nsulted by the most opprobrious epithets; no calumnywas
considered too low, no imputation too mean—renegade
Catholic priests and ravage Orangemen, in the garb of
ministers of peace, were encouraged to travel through
England as missionaries, and to assemble multitudts
it Exeter Hall, to excite the most fiendish pas-
sions against their fellow-subjects and fellow-Christians ;
out we will not pursue the painful subject further.
A new light has arisen—the da) of peace has dawned on
Ireland, and Whigs and Tories at last cordially agree
in the justice, the mercy, and the absolute necessity, of
•reating the Irish as subjects of the same Sovereign.
Ar.d we cannot mention the name without paying
a tribute to our beloved QUEEN for the deep interest
which she has always taken in the welfare of Ireland. It is
needlesss to recount all that we have heard respecting
the fixed, the unalterable sympathy which she has dis-
played—it is enough to say that the reconciliation of the
Irish nation to England is the wish dearest to her
heart. Her Ministers have cordially joined in such
noble sentiments. Concession and justice to Ireland
were the themes of Sir J. GRAHAM'S speech, and these
were re.echoed last night by Sir R. PEEL. " I know
not," said he, " what the consequences may be with
regard to the kindly relations between England and
Ireland ; but this I know, that the proposition has bee..
the means of calling forth the most kindly feelings in
the minds of a grateful people." And he will not stop
here. GOD forbid that he should. He has yet other
measures in store, and wisely rejected the earnest and
deceitful solicitations of the chief opponent of the
mea,ure to say where he would stop. The peroration
of his speech is worthy of the cause. It shadows forth
that real union with Ireland is now his first object, argil
:hat he will join even the ranks of his op-
ponents in asserting such an inestimable blessing
o the United Empire. "in the course of this
lebate," said the Right Hon. Baronet, "it has
oven supposed that an occasion might arise when all the
energies of the country should be called forth in our
defence. May Goy forbid that so great an evil may
tall upon us. But whatever may be the result of this
debate—to whatever hands the destinies of this coun
try may be committed, I shall take my place by the
side of my successors, and give them every sup-
port in my power to this just and honourable cause.
It' the calamity of war should Mal us, it is my earnest
hope that when it occurs it will find the people of this
empire united in loyalty to the throne, in mutual confi •
dente, and in a love of those institutions from which they
derive the highest benefits. It is my earnest prayer
that the result of our measures will be so to unite the
people of this realm, as to ensure the triumph of a just
cause."

Madrid journals of the 11th have been received, bu.
they contain nothing worthy of interest. The Money
Market was very dull, and prices lower. The Three
per Cents. clostd at 35i for cssh ; for Account 354 ;
and the Three per Cents. for Account at 25i ; Debt
without Interest, 8i cash, and 9 for Account.

The Paris papers, which contain no domestic news o'
importance, are much occupied with the discussion in
the House of Commons, and the excitement caused by
the Maynooth Bill. The Government paper, the Journal
des Debats, approves of the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL,
with regard to Ireland, but still thinks it would be better
to govern with his party than without it and against it.
The Presse takes a different view of the question, and
after adverting to the insults heaped on the Premier by
a London journal, which called him the MA.ROTO of the
Conservatives, says :—" Thus we find that party spirit
is every where and at all times the same. Only prove
younelf to be more enlightened, more moderate, a better
judge of the wants and interests of society than others
are, and you are immediately denounced as a traitor and
a felon. Happily these accusations by narrow and
prejudiced minds are treated with contempt by most
of those to whom they are addressed." The National
contrasts the religious feeling in the two countries.
The Catholic religion," it says, "is treated as bar-
barous and idolatrous in England. In France that which
is barbarous and fatal is the right of examination, the
liberty of opinion, the independence of mind which seeks,
studies, and compares, and, freeing itself from the ac-
cepted dogmas, soars aloft to regions where thought
alone is sovereign. Let those sectarian violences appear
at the same time to all eyes ; we know nothing more
likely to get them appreciated than to show them side by
side. In England, as in France, the public good sensi,
will cover with its impartial disdain all these passions
of a time that is past."
The Sentinelle of Toulon says :—" Rear-Admiral
TuRPIN, commander of the Levant squadron, is recalled.
He is to be replaced by a Capitaine lie VAISSEAU. This
measure has been concerted with the Cabinet of London,
which also withdraws the Admiral in command of the
British squadron in the Levant."
The intelligence from Switzerland is to the 13th. The
Prase says :

" The canton of Lucerne has anticipated the wishes of the
Diet. The Grand Council has authorised the Executive
Council to enter into negotiations with the governments of
the other cantons for setting its prisoners at liberty. Even
the Lucerne refugees, who have been captured, are to be
brought before the tribunals, and tried according to the law
on the Free Corps. But there is reason to believe that this
process will be a mere matter of form, the Grand Council
having shown a disposition to listen to all appeals for grace
that may be made to it."
On the Paris Bourse there was much speculation in
railway shares, which closed with a decided fall. It
was settling day, but no defaulters had been named.
The following are the prices of shares in the principal
companies: —Paris and Orleans, 1,207 f. 50c.; Paris and

We find that in reference to the necessity for an alteration
in the duties on butter and cheese some remarks by Messrs.
Keeling and Hunt, whom we quoted under this head, as good
practical authorities, are not considered by our Contempo-
rary, the Post, as being sufficiently clear. When we
point out, however, that the leaning of Messrs. Keel-
ing is in favour of an important article of consumption
coming in at a reduced duty, and that this
by extreme protectionists is sure to be considered an
encroachment on agricultural rights, we need feel no surprise
that the matter appears less plain to that paper than to the
brokers. The meaning of the latter, however, as we take it,
is the meaning of all who desire to see trade re-
lieved from some of its shackles, and especially as
regards the importation of food, and may be thus very
easily explained. A merchant imports 1,000 firkins of
foreign butter; part, being of prime quality, may realise 955.
per cwt. ; a second portion, being somewhat inferior, may
sell at 655. ; a third 50s. The two former prices will enable
him to pay the duty of 21s. per cwt.; but the third, if the
duty was to be paid, would leave him but 295. per cwt.
nett. And then comes his alternative of having this portion
destroyed by tar, and clearing it for grease purposes, for
which he would obtain 40s. per cwt., without any
duty being paid. Therefore, he would gladly let
the public have his butter at the least differenee
in his own favour compared to what he would get
by destroying it. The same system of protection, if ex-
tended to any other article of every day consumption, would
SO puzzle the mind of a merchant, as to the ultimate re-
sult of his investment, that the best judgment in the world
would be defeated by the uncertainty it engenders.
With regard to the union workhouses consuming foreign
cheese, it must be recollected that not one-third of the
farmers make this article ; therefore the former have
no other alternative than resorting to foreign—and conse-
quently they have to pay the price of the protection or must
put themselves in a position to compete with the foreign
market, to produce the material at the same price as the
foreign article. The question then lies between the union
workhouses having foreign cheese or none at all. They have
no choice, and such is about the case with most protected
1 articles. _ _

According to the Bank of England returns. the issue of
notes has decreased in the week to April 12, by 135,195/. ;

been diminished by 2,568,9401., and the other deposits in-
creased by 1,307,0721.

Although the majority on the Mavnooth question is so

The Share Market has been brisk, and there is fair sup-
