LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Four.

The Earl of ABERDEEN then moved an address in an•
swer to her MAJESTY'S Message on the subject of Sir H.
POTTINGER, stating that the House would cheerfully con-
cur in giving effect to her MAJESTY'S gracious considera-
tion of Sir H. POTTINGER'S services. The Noble Earl in
moving the address passed a high eulogium on Sir H.
POTTINGER for the services he had rendered his country.
Ti.e House being addressed by the Marquis of LANS-
DOWNE, the Earl of lIADDINGTON, and the Earl of
GLENGALL, the address was agreed to.

The order of the day for the third reading of the
Maynooth Bill was then read.

A long discussion ensued, but eventually the Bill
was read a third time, by a majority of 131.
The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. The
second reading of the,Cambridge and Bury St. Edmund's
Railway Bill was carried by a majority of 15 ; the
numbers being—for the Bill, 47 ; against it, 32.
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON moved that the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway Bill should be recommitted. The
motion was opposed and eventually lost on a division.
The numbers were—for the motion, 77 ; against it, 118 ;
majority against the motion, 41.

Mr. ROEBUCK then drew the attention of the House to
a letter which, by implication, conveyed a challege
which he had received from Mr. J. P. SOMERS, fly--
Member for Sligo, in consequence of certain expressions
which he had used with regard to the repealers of Ire-
land on Friday night. In the course of the debate one
of those personal scenes ensued which always create
an interest in the House.

Mr. J. P. SOMERS, in the most frank and manly manner,
withdrew his letter, and expressed his regret for what
had occurred, and both Honourable Members were com-
plimented for the course which they had pursued. In
the midst of this discussion Mr. O'CONNELL entered the

House, and was received with loud cheering from the
Opposition, and laughter from the Ministerial benches.
Eventually a resolution, approving of the conduct of
Mr. ROEBUCK in bringing the matter before the House,
and also of that of Mr. SOMERS in apologising, were
agreed to.

Sir R. PEEL moved, in answer to the QUEEN'S Mes-
sage, a grant to Sir H. POTTINGER of 1,5001. per annum,
to commence from the day on which he ceased to be her
MAJESTY'S Plenipotentiary in China.
In the course of the discussion which followed, the
conduct of Sir H. POTTINGER was highly eulogised. by
the Members on both sides of the House, and the mo_
tion was agreed to.

The order of the day for the third reading of the
Irish Banking Bill was then read.

Mr. Smrrn O'BRIEN then moved the amendment of
which he had given notice.

A long discussion ensued, and eventually the amend
merit was negatived.

The order of the day was then read for bringing up
the report on the Academical Institutions (Ireland)
Bill, when

Sir JAMES GRAHAM postponed entering into details
upon the Bill until Thursday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned atlialf-past Ten o'clock.

We have intelligence from Lisbon by the Royal Tar
steamer to the 9th inst., but it is not of importance. A
royal decree had been issued relative to the foreign trade
with the island of Madeira. According to that decree
the recent dues levied by the Board of Health, on ships
touching at Funchal, had been suspended, and the pre-
vious scale of dues re-established until the Commission
appointed to investigate the subject had made their
report.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the Bth inst. The
Government had received dispatches from Malaga,
stating that a riot had taken place in that city, in which
the provincial regiment of Jaen was implicated, but ac-
cording to the Castellano the accounts were greatly ex-
aggerated. The affair originated in a petty quarrel be-
tween some of the inhabitants and this regiment, and
was quickly suppressed. The capital remained per-
fectly tranquil, but the funds continuei to decline to an
alarming extent, the Three per Cents., on the ith, having
fallen to 30 for cash. The Espectador had been con-
demned in a fine of 20,000 reals (2001.) for publishing
an article offensive to the Government. The case was
decided by the judges without a jury. The QUEEN
still remained at Barcelona, where it was understood
the greater part of the Ministry would be assembled
on the 24th, in order to be present at the celebration of
Queen CHRISTINA'S birth-day. Accounts from Bayonne,
of the 10th, announce the arrival of Mr. BULWER in
that town, on his way to London. CORTINA FALCON,
late Aide-de-camp to ESPARTERO, PRAT SANZ, and
several superior and subaltern officers of the Carlist
party were residing at Bayonne.
On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed
at 30 for cash, and 31 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents.
at 211 at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 6,1,-
at 60 days.

The articles in the Paris papers relate chiefly to the
iscussion in the Chamber of Peers on the Jesuits, and
the new convention for the suppression of the slave
trade. The Jesuits, we are glad to find, receive no
countenance from the Government, and the laws against
them are to be put in force without delay. No doubt
whatever exists that they have been intriguing with the
French bishops, and secretly forming plans for the ex-
tension of their influence, both at Court and in the
universities, under the guise of maintaining the Catholic
religion in its pristine purity; but the Ministers of Louis
PHILIPPE wisely reject their aid, and will not allow them
to meddle with education. This probably will excite
another philippic from Mr. O'CONNELL against GUIZOT
and his royal master ; but Mr. O'CosINELL's abuse finds
no echo in France. The French, to their honour, sup-
port almost unanimously the policy of their SOVEREIGN
on this question—they know well what miseries France '
has suffered from the interference of priests, and would
risk another revolution rather than see them again in-
stalled in the Tuileries, as in the days of CHARLES X., or
allowed to corrupt the minds of youth by disseminating
their doctrines in the universities. This universal
feeling in France contrasts nobly with the bigotry of
epxecialptle.theln
Mr. O'CONNELL, who, as in the dark ages, would
priesthood above atbhoeveboth sovereign and
the Journal des Debate thus proclaims
discussion in the Peers,
la tshhe in-
tentions of the Government :—"The
.all be
executed, and they shall be executed without
and without severity. No essential principle shall be
violated in the execution of the measures projected
against the societies not authorised by law. The So-
ciety of the Jesuits shall be dissolved, but the Jesuits
shall not be persecuted. Their dwellings shall not be
violated, the right of property shall be respected, nor
shall the citizens be removed from the jurisdiction of
their natural judges. The laws shall be executed with-
out shocking by their execution the mildness and huma-

nity cf our public customs. The laws shall be executed,
and the Charter shall not be violated."
The remarks of the Opposition journals on the new
treaty possess little interest. Attempts are made to
show that it is not perfect, and still inferior to that con-
cluded between England and the United States. The
following remarks on the late return made to Parliament
of the number of steamers in our merchant service ap-
pear in the Journal des Debats. After stating that the
total number amounts to 900, it adds:—
" Compare with this the 110 steam-vessels which are em-
ployed in our commerce, and the effective force of Great
Britain will appear considerable in proportion, and much
more so if there be added the 65 steamers belonging to the
English colonies. Our steam fleet, it is true, yields in
nothing, either in number or size of ships, to that of our
neighbours, but we must not lose sight of the fact that the
steam forces of a nation are not to be measured only by the
number of its ships of war. The commercial navy may also
be made an instrument of war, and has now become one of
the first elements of the power as well as of the prosperity of
a nation. Our Government has shown itself convinced of
this by applying to it a wider and more efficacious construc-
tion of the law of 1840 on the trans-Atlantic packets.
Austria, in concert with England, is increasing its means of
communication in the Mediterranean, between Trieste and
the ports of the Levant. We are in possession of a superiority
at this point which it behoves us to maintain at any cost."
The Gazette de Be, ri, a journal published in the south
of France, publishes the following farewell address of
Don CARLOS to the Spanish p.ation :
"Spaniards, my faithful defenders,—Called to the crown
of Spain by imprescriptible rights, my sole desire has con-
stantly been the happiness of my beloved country. That
happiness requires to-day my renunciation of those rights in
favour of my most beloved eldest son, Charles Louis, Prince
of the Asturias. No sacrifice could be painful to me when
the welfare of my country was in question. I have most
heartily subscribed to the act of renunciation in behalf of my
son, whom von will recognise as my legitimate successor, and
surround with the same affection and fidelity. He will take
care, on his side, to recompense according to their merit your
loyalty and constancy in supporting the sound principles
which alone can save Spain.
" In retiring from public life I feel a great satisfaction and
consolation in expressing to you my gratitude for the heroic
acts with which you astonished the world, and which will
ever remain engraved in my heart.
" Farewell, my constant defenders and faithful companions.
Pray the Almighty with me to remove the evils which op.
press our country, and give us more tranquil and happier
days. " Your affectionate and grateful King,
" Bourges, the 18th of May, 1845." "CARLOS.
The Presse says:—

"Don Carlos, it is well known, has numerous creditor;.
The act of abdication made at Bourges appears to have
thrown them into great anxiety. Who is to pay, they in-
quire, all the debts he :has contracted, and the obligations
of all kinds which bind him, or which he has authorised?
The manifesto of the son says nothing about, and does not
even allude to, the debts of the father."
