THIRD EDITION OF ~ THE SUN."

irt have received many complaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
etillfarther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
Vfee fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
rhisEdition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a
.2carter to Serett—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the ' Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official
Prices of Shares in Railways, &v. &e.—The Betting at Tattersalls on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
' The Proceedings in Railway Comnsitteoe up to the close—and all other
news arTriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Second or Evening Edition goes to press.

In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
novas IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early
intelligence.

In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night,
' the " MORNING SUX," containing Aix the Debates, &c. ay., will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.

;Itspectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The
Ban" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their
representations.

repaired and enlarged. The whole grant would be for
a sum not exceeding 30,0001. He also proposed that
the Board of Works should undertake to keep the
building in repair, and that suitable apart-
ments should be provided for the president,
professors and students. He did not propose to
give the visitors greater powers, but he proposed to
increase their number to five, and to make the visitation
annual, instead of triennial, giving the Lord-Lieutenant
power te order a visitation whenever he may see fit,
The visits would have no reference to doctrine er dc,s-
cipline. He could assure the House that the measure
had not been brought forward without consultation with
those who might be supposed to be acquainted with the
feelings of the Catholic body, and he believed
that it would meet with the general appro-
bation of the Catholic hi-rarchy, The measure
itself was nothing more than a liberal fulfilment of those
obligations into which the Legislature of the country
had entered with the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Ile
deprecated any attempt at making the grant a pretext
for intermeddling with the doctrines of the Roman
Catholic Church, as ungracious, unjust, and uncalled for.
He thought they would be amply remedied by the im
proved education among the Roman Catholic ecclesias-
tics of Ireland, and he believed that he violated none of
;he obligations of honour and good faith in promoting
improvement in the character of those who were en-
trusted with the education of those who were to be
spiritual guides and instructors of millions of our fellow-
countrymen. He concluded by moving for leave to bring
in a Bill to alter the law relating to the college of May-
nooth.

Sir R. H. Iscus in rising to oppose the motion remarked
upon the single fact, that all the cheering, during the
Right Hon. Baronet's speech, had come from the Oppo-
sition side of the House, while the usual supporters of
the Government remained silent. Although he
would have offered little objection to the con-
tinuance of the usual grant, yet he thought even
that uncalled for. There was no compact
either expressed or implied by which Parliament was
bound to uphold the College of Maynooth. The mea-
sure was wrong in principle, he considered, and as a
matter of expediency he felt convinced it would fail. He
regretted that Sir R. PEEL had not stated his views on
the subject in 1840. For himself, taking his stand on
Protestant Christianity, he should certainly move a
negative on the question.

Captain B. OsilonsE approved of the increased grant,
and hoped the Right lion. Baronet would not be de-
terred from his principles by the No Popt‘ry cry, but
he thought that instead of the money coming out of
the pockets of the people, it ought to come out of the
funds of the Established Church.

Mr. GREGORY opposed the increase of the grant.
Lord F. EGERTON, although deeply sensible of the
fact that his vote that night would be at variance
with the views and opinions of those who supported
him—of those, the representing of whom he always
considered the greatest honour he could obtain—
yet &it comptlied to vote for the Ministerial proposi-
tion, which he considered a just and reasonable one.
Mr. 'WARD complimented the Minister on the manner
in which he had introduced this measure, which should
have his most cordial support ; although, at the proper
time, he should propose that the money be taken from
the revenues of the Mil Church, instead of from the
pockets of the people.
Mr. LAW opposed the Government proposition.
The House was afterwards addressed by Mr.
BELLEW, Lord SANDON, Mr. PLUMPTRE, Lord
JCUN RUSSELL, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Colonel SIBTRORP,
Mr. SUEIL, Mr T. DuNcomnu, and other Hon. Mem-
bers ; and, after a lengthy discussion, the resolution of
Sir R. PEEL was carried by a majority of 102.
The House adjourned at 20 minutes to Two o'clock.

We hail with unqualified delight the debate on
the great question which came befere the House
of Commons last night, and the large mejority of
102 in favour of justice to Roman Catholics. It is the
first great step t') reconcile religious and political dif.
ferences between two integral portions of the British
empire ; it will pave the way for future deeds of charity,
and, we trust, convince the various sects of
religionists in this country, that peace and
brotherly love, and forgiveness and charity, are not only
more pleasing in the sight of the CREATOR, but are the
only certain proofs that the truths ( f the Gospel have
produced their just effects. We need not tell our
readers that the Catholic religion, and its off•
shoot, Puseyism, have not had a more deter-
mined enemy than this journal. We have uni-
formly opposed the tenets of the former, and treated
as they deserve those traitors to Protestantism,
who, under some hypocritical pretence, would
remain in the Reformed Church, enjoy the loaves and
the fishes, and at the same time profess, at
first secretly, and then openly, the very doc-
trines which they denounced only a few years ago
as damnable and idolatrous. But because the Catholic
religion is considered defective and injurious in many
respects, that is no reason why all its professors are to
be driven beyond the pale of society, treated as worse
than infidels, and made the bitterest enemies of the Esta-
blished Church. The professors of no religion believe that
others of a different persuasion are in the right path, but
what madness would it be for the one to denounce the other
as visionaries, enthusiasts, and men ignorant of the
truth, because they choose a different road to heaven.
The main point, however, is to ascertain what is to be
gained by persecution. That system has been tried
towards Ireland for three hundred years; it has
utterly failed. To continue in the same course
is tempting PROVIDENCE. It may, nay will, lead to civil
war, the most horrible of all wars, and only make the
wall between England and Ireland higher, the people
more hostile to each other, and leave religious pre-
judices stronger than ever. History, which is said
to be the great mistress of wisdom, has taught
English Protestants this lesson ; and woe be to those
who, in these days, would renew contests which stained
even the middle ages, and exhibited man as more
savage, more degraded, and less human that the beasts
that perish. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL was
admirable, and it was echoed in a g,nerous
spirit by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Even those who
opposed the Christian scheme, opposed it with
mildness, and we arc willing to believe solely because
they considered it their duty as Protestants. But these
prejudices in time will give way. Justice will yet be
done to Ireland and the present House of Com-
mons will have the honour and the glory of sealing for
ever the anion between two powerful nations. The
conclusion of Mr. SHEIL'S speech was also excellent. He
will be imitated by his eloquent countrymen, and Sir
ROBERT PEEL every day will only be more encouraged
to go on in the glorious path on which he has entered.
" Assist," said Mr. SHEIL, " the designs of PROVIDENCE,
cure the misrule of centuries, pour balm into the nation's
heart to efface pernicious recollections, awaken it to
salubrious hopes, banish a splendid phantom, and sub-
stitute in its place an attainable reality.—(Hear, hear.)
To do justice to Ireland, and to teach Ireland to appre-
ciate the justice of England, these are the objects
worthy of a statesman conscious of the great
duty imposed upon him, and of the capacity
which Gon has given him ; and I should turn with
a disdainful smile from those who tell me that the
maxims of government are to be found in the dogmas of
a divine, whose principles, if they are carried out,
would lead to the restoration of that fatal ascendancy of
which we have had experience ; and I should be pre
pared to fling the seals of office to the winds rather than
be retarded in the completion of that great work which,
laying the foundations in honour and justice, I invite him
to the consummation of."

It is gratifying to find, on looking to the list of the di-
vision. that the Liberals nobly performed their part,
not fewer than 107 voting with Sir ROBERT
PEEL. This is honourable to their patriotic
spirits, and sheds a lustre on the principles
of men who will not swerve from their duty to crush
their political opponent. It forms a noble contrast to
that of the old Tory faction, who considered place not
too dear at any price, not even at the expense of honour
and principle.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received.
According to some of those in the pay of the Government,
the plot for which twenty-six persons had been arrested
on the previous day was of a most serious character,
thougb,•however, the prisoners are of the lowest class of
society. It was said their plan was an imitation of the
Cato-street conspiracy—to murder all the Ministers, and
then compel the QUEEN to adopt their policy. A letter
had been discovered which revealed the scheme, said to
be of a most revolutionary character. The Eco dcl
Comniercio publishes the following Carlist placard, posted
at Miranda:—" Attention! Royalists! The day of
your triumph is at hand! Success to our companions in
Catalonia! We shall soon imitate their boldness and
their firmness. War to all liberal Jews without dis-
tinction. Live religion. Live Bilmaseda."

The intelligence from Paris possesses considerable in-
terest. The strength and courage of the Ministry are
reviving. M. qtrIZOT made a b:)1(1 stand on the Sardi-
nian treaty, and did not shrink from the ungracious
task of dethanding.a vote fur arming the fortifications
of Paris, and suceetb has hitherto atteuded both rue -

sures. On Wednesday afternoon the Sardinian treaty
was adopted in the Chamber of Deputies, by a majority
of 206 to 32, the Opposition having preferred secession
to defeat. In the Committees 0.1/Poirtlr: t.'Lmine the
estimates for tie foiltlt;ations of Paris, the Ministers
tdtO Were successful. Seven of the Committees were
favourable to the measure, and only two against it.
M. TRIERS absented himself on the o.e.ta,;c!r, 131.1 he
would have acted yr,.rn hot oti:-AblY, had he manfully sup-
portrd ttlYeirie which for certain purposes he advocated
while in power, and which he and the SOVEREIGN, in fact,
carried through the Chamber. The works now, ur.a,
bombs, shells, bastions, couriterlearps, ditthts-, and all,
will be ultimately cotrpitttd, according to the original
plan, and something more.

The intelligence from Switzvrland is to the 30th ult.,
and, on the whole, more satisfactory. The Governor of
Berne was actively engaged in restraining tilt V-oliinteers
enrolled for the invasion of Lucerne, while, according to
accounts from Basle Campagne, preparations for the in-
vasion were still going on. It was said that desertion
from the Lucerne troops had been become frequent, and
hopes were entertained that the Executive and the Je-
suits—the cause of all the mischief—would find it more
prudent to yield than risk a civil war. The following
is the reply made by M. MoussoN, President of the
Extraordinary Diet, held at Zurich, to the note of M.
GUIZOT, addressed through the Swiss Chargé d'Affaires
at Paris :

TO M. DE TSCHANN, CHARGE D'AFFAIRES ON THE SWISS CONFEDE:
RATION AT PARIS.

" Zurich, March 17

" Monsieur,—ln a special audience demanded by.the Count de
Pontois, the Ambassador of the King of the French, his Excel-
lency hat ded to me a copy of a dispatch, dated March 3, which he
had just received from M. Guizot, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs. In performing his mission, his Excellency declared
that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to
interfere in the domestic affairs of the Confederation, and that
the present atop was dictated solely by the ancient friend.
ship of France for Switzerland, and by a sincere interest for
her independence and happiness. I thanked the Count de
Pontois for this declaration, adding, that it was in that
light I regarded his Excellency's communication. However,
Monsieur, I consider myself called on, as President of the
Diet, to transmit to yen some observations, to which I beg leave to
call your attention. When the dispatch of the Minister for Fo-
reigh Affairs was written, the instructions of the States en the
question of the free corps—en the subject of which it speaks parti-
cularly—as well as the probability of a solution in conformity with
the interests of Switzerland, could be known from the Ambassa-
dor. The communication of this dispatch, at the very moment
when the Diet was on the point of taking into consideration mea
sures relative to the free corps, was calculated to arouse the national
susceptibilities, and this result was so much the more natural, that
some of the expressions which M. Guizot employed seemed rather
those of an injunction, than of mere friendly advice. I shall
not, however, point out the passages that have given room for
such an interpretation, since I admit it as certain, as his Excel-
lency the Ambassador declared to me, that it never entered into
the idea of the Minister for Foreign Affairs to hurt the feeling of
national independence—a feeling which France possesses in an
eminent degree, and which she respects amongst other nations. If
the troubles which have lately afflicted Switzerland have attracted
the attention of Europe, it is just to observe that they have never
in the slightest degree affected her international intercourse. The
Confederation, I am convinced, will avoid with care all that cou d
compromise that intercourse ; but it also considers that its right
as an independent State to regulate its domestic affairs cannot be
the subject of the slightest doubt. You are authorised to read this
dispatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to leave him a
copy of it. " H. MOUSSON, President of the Diet."

It is soitiewhat difficult to conceive upon what principle it
is that the +Government of. India is about to increase the du-
ties upon, i:nports, cotton twist and thread excepted. Still
we understand, by the private letters which have come to
hand by the Overland Mail from Bombay, that this is really
in contemplation. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce have
been most active to prevent so absurd a proceeding; and no
doubt the Committee of the East India and China Associa-
tion here will very soon meet, to memorialise the India Board
upon the subject. The course of policy of the Legislative
Council is considered the more extraordinary by our mer-
chants, as it is so contrary to the movements of the home
Government with respect to the tariff of Great Britain.
The announcement has taken most people by surprise,
and no doubt a vigorous opposition will be given to it here
as well as in India. The intention is also most inopportune,
as commerce, after a period of very considerable depression,
had began to show symptoms of a rally, which had been
hailed with much satisfaction by all parties interested in
trade. We hear that the treasury at Calcutta is somewhat
embarrassed. It certainly is not the right way to improve
the finances of India by placing restrictions on its trade.
The majority obtained by the Ministers on the Maynooth
grant has been a topic of conversation. Few politicians had
thought it would have been so large.
A good deal of interest is felt as to the result of the debate
in the Hoge of Commons to-night on the subject of the
Oregon territory. We understand that the Caledonian
steamer is detained for the purpose of carrying out the
opinions of Ministers upon this subject, the debate upon it
being fixed for this evening. The steamer will be kept back
to receive letters posted to-night, as well as by the early mail
to Liverpool to-morrow morning.
Stocks are rather flatter this morning, notwithstanding
the Ministerial majority. Consols have been 9914 % for pre-
sent transfer; and 99% % for Account. Exchequer-bilis
have also receded a little, being 61s. to 595. premium. Bank
Stock for Account is 215%.
The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 29% 3%, and the Passive 7% 14 : coming rather
better from Paris they have improved a trifle here also.
Mexican are quiet at 35%; Colombian are 1574 to 16 ; and
Brazilian 88; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63%
to 63%.
An extraordinary degree of activity continues to pervade
the market for Railway Shares, the Scotch and Irish lines
being especially buoyant, and the latter principally, on the
statement that the Queen will visit the Emerald Isle this
summer. The French lines are also buoyant.
