of the French journals received this morning.

stage coach was stopped by twenty mounted knights of the
road, who pillaged the passengers, and took away the horses of
the vehicle.

011 the 25th, with the family of Sir Stratford Cannirg. She
brought the intelligence of the events that had taken place at

few troops, a frigate, a corvette, and schooner.
The Courrier de Lyon of the 13th inst. announces a serious

and the Christians. The Austrian Government was obliged
.to interfere by force; but the people tore up the pavement and
attacked the soldiers with stones, who fired on the multitude,

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Queen's Protection Bill went through all its remaining
stages last night in the House of Lords, was sent down to the
House of Commons with amendments suggested by Lord
Campbell, and was returned to the House of Lords with the
amendments agreed to. In the few observations which were
made on the Bill, both Lord Brougham and the Duke of
Wellington expressed their deep regret at the death of the
Duke of Orleans.

'I here was some conversation about education in Ireland,
which elicited a difference of opinion between the Rev. Pre-
lates as to what a Protestant clergyman ought to do touching
reading extracts from the Bible. The Archbishop of Armagh
contended that the Protestants could not touch the books used
in the national schools without being defiled, and the Bishop of
Norwich contended that they contained the whole Lith of the
Church of England.
The New South Wales Bill was read a second time.

The Mines and Collieries Bill was committed pro forma. At
Eight o'Clock their Lordships adjourned.

President of the Board of Trade moved, in a Committee of the
whole House, certain resolutions relative to the duty on cement
stone when exported, which resolutions will become a Bill to
alter the tariff. It is discreditable to the Ministers that they
have ruined classes and trade without even knowing it. The ce-
ment makers have succeeded in making Mr. Gladstone undo his
own work.

Mr. C. Wood asked whether it was the law that light coin
might be defaced, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer could
not answer.

the system of education against an, attack of the over-righteous
Baronet. He sneered also at Sir Robert as a better defender
of the Church than the Bishops. Then: was some boggling,
too, about the grant for 3laynooth, which occupied the House
till a late hour. It sat till Three o'Clock.
