"To Live thy neighbour as thyself," w hat atrocious
wickedness it is to rake up the embers of religious discord
and throw a firebrand among men who live together
in unity ! But the good sense of Englishmen, theirlove
of justice, and their compassion also for the wrongs and
the sufferings of a people so long united with them,
will not suffer this iniquity to prevail. The still
small voice of wisdom begins already to be heard,
and the firm determination of the Legislature—
the admirable speeches made by every statesman
in the Commons' House c f Parliament, and the wise re-
solution of the clergy cf the Established Church to
give the experiment a fair trial—leave no doubt now as
to the ultimate success of the. measure. The great re-
gret is that the opposition has diminished to a
groat extent the benefits which it was calcu-
lated to produce, and has excited a feeling
of bitter anger on the part of the Catholics against a nu-
merous class of Protestants hitherto regarded as their
friends. But that in time will disappear and the peace-
makers will 3et reap the fruits of their labours. We
cordially concur in the following sentiments i:xpressed
by the reverend divine whose letter appears in another
part of this j.mrnal :
" I humbly conceive that ' brother Protestants' are bound
to co-operate' in furthering the great attempt that ' righte-
ousness and peace may kiss each other,' and realising the in.
junction to promote ' peace on earth, good-will towards men,'
enlarge the circle, too long contracted, of Christian charity,
and diffuse that more liberal education which o'erleaps the
narrow mind, softens asperities, and prostrates persecution."

Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received,
but they bring no news.

The French Chamber of Deputies have voted without
opposition the sum of 44,0001. as a compensation to
English merchants for losses caused them by the French
blockade of the Gambia. When that affair had been
disposed of, the grant of 440,0001. fur Oceania—the
French set►lements in the Pacific—was next proposed,
and gave rise to some warm discussion. M. DE MALLE-
\Iux demanded some explanations on a statement in
the journals, to the effect that Admiral aims:lAN had
not been able to communicate with Queen POMARE,
who, under the protection of an English frigate, had
retired to a small island, where she refused to receive
the French officers. It was also said that the Government
intended recalling Captain D'AUBIGNY, who was to obtain
leave of absence for the benefit of his health. Admiral
MAciteu, the Minister of Marine, said, "Admiral

lIA3IELIN arrived at Otaheite on the 22d of Dee., 1844.
lie had sent home a dispatch, dated Jan. 2, 1845. It
stated that he had found the island pert( ctly tranquil,
and that since June 30, the period of the last com Lat,
no trouble or disturbance had taken pl..ce. It added
that the natives occupied camps at some distance from
each other, hut that the communications were rc-esta-
blished with Papeiti, and that everything tended to lead
to the supposition that the restoration of friendly rela •
tions were on the point of taking place. It had bcen
agreed that Admiral HasinurN should endeavour to open
a communication with Queen POMARE to induce her to
return to the French establishments. She was at that
period in a little island, and two officers were dispatched
to her to deliver the letter to herself alone, a letter which
he had written to her fur that purpose. These officers
did not succeed in seeing her, and they had returned
with the letter. The Chamber would perceive that, ac-
cording to the instructions addressed to M. BRUAT,
which he had just had the honour to lay before the
House, in case the intercourse should not be renewed
the course to be pursued was to call the chiefs together,
and choose three amongst them to administer
the affairs of the country." M. ODILLON BARROT
said it appeared now that it was the French who were
reduced to supplication. It was the officers of France
who were compelled to run after the QUEEN to beserch
her to resume her sovereignty. Such conduct was a dis-
grace to France. M. DE MALLEVILLE said that as the
subject would again be alluded to on the discussion on
the budget, he should now confine himself to the expres-
sion of his regret that the Government had not Leen
better prepared to contradict the sad accounts which had
come to their knowledge, and amidst considerable ex-
citement iu the Chamber the matter dropped The Bill
fur converting the Four per Cent. Stock has been laid
before a Committee of the Peers, arid meets with decided
opposition► from a large majority of Members. At the
last sitting 130 Peers attended, and of these mote than
80 are hostile to the measure.
On the Ist of May, the ICING's file, the Bourse was
closed.
