The American ship Ann and Hope is arriveil in
Channel from China: she sailed on the 19th of
February, and brings advice, that it was expected the
differences would shortly be settled. The Company's
ship Repulse sailed from China for England, on the
12th of February ; and the Kent was to follow on
the 2,Gth of that month ; and, as she will probably
bring decisive intelligence, her artival will be very
ansiously looked for.
ANOTHER Accor.—Letters have just been re:

more favourable; and it was expected the Factory

Tire Tithes of Ireland, a source of great oppression
gr.d misery to that ill-fated country, and a very fit
st.b]ia:t for le:-,islative interference, came last night
bciore the House of Commons, in a discussion of a
v.ry siosular character. Mr. DALY, pursuant to a
pr:vious notice, rose to make his promised motion
for a commutation of Irish Tithes, when Mr. PEEL
sner,es:ed to him to defer the question until neat
Session. MI. DALY then called on the Irish Secre-
tary fora pledge to bring the subject forward, when
the Hon. Gentleman, with " the utmost promptitude,"
as Dr. Prolix would say, most explicitly pledged
himself—that at the opening of the next Session of
Parliament, be would- either bring forward the sub-
•ct of the Irish Tithes, or state to the House why he
did not do so. Mr. GOULDUIIN, though an Irish Se-
cretary, is not an Irishman, and therefore cannot
claim one of the few privileges of the natives of the
sister kingdom, that of being allowed to speak twice,
in order to be understood ; and yet this pledge, as it
is called, which is no pledge at all, satisfied Mr,
DALY, who abandoned the motion to which he stood
pledged. Thanks to Mr.HumE, how ever, the House,
though disappointed in the first instance, bad the
subject discussed.
Mr. Hume, in an able speech, sheaved, that the
Church 1--overnment in Ireland was the main spring
of dissatisfaction and &affection ; and that as Tithes
were the most tangible part of that government, they
had been the principal cause of the disturbances that
had taken place. He denied that, as had been asserted
by an lion. Member, a Cletgyman had abetter claim
to his tithes than any man had to his own estate, con-
tending that it sr as in the power of Government to
change the disposition of that property, with due re-
gard to vested interests. He contrasted the acknow-
le4ed want of spiritual instruction in Ireland with
the Princely revenues that were exacted. He said, so
great were the abuses which prevailed in the Church
of Ireland, that Bishops, receiving £lO,OOO and
VO,OOO a year for their SpiritutO labours and holy
seal, remained absent from the country for twenty
years together ! The late Bishop of DERRY remained
for fifteen or twenty years with his family in France
—so that he never set his feet on the ground which
contributed so largely to his revenues. The revenues
of the Archbishop of ARMAGH amounted to £15,000
a year, but it appeared by the statement of Mr.
WAKEFIELD that the rates and rents of that Arch-
bishop might be made to amount to 1.350,000 f—a
sum which, we presume, the warmest advocate
for • Episcopal magnificence will not justify.—
Mr. HI.ME concluded his argumentative and unan-
swerable statement by moving—

4, That early in the next Session the House will enter upon
an inquiry into the state of the Church Eatablishinent, and the
mode of collecting Tithes in Ireland, with a view to make such
alterations 44 might be found necessary."

.or tell them why he did anti when five years
ate, in the House of Lords. the Earl of Livaaroot. po-
sitively said, that a commutation. though not applica-
ble to England, would probably be applicable to Ire-
land, and was then under consideration of Government.
He said one of the promises held out at the Union,
by Mr. PITT and Lord CASTIAREAGH was, that a
commutation of tithes should take place immediately,
and the House was bound to nuke good the promise,
upon the faith of which Ireland had consented to the
Union. The Honourable Baronet concluded with
moving as an Amendment, that the House should
pledge itself to ,take the subject of tithes into their
consideration early in the next Session, with a view to
substitute a mode of providing for the Established
Church different from the present vexatious and inju-
rious system. Mr. GOULBEIRN, in a speech nearly as
unmeaning as his pledge, opposed the Motion, which,
after considerable discussion, was negatived by a ma-
jority of seven.

At a late hour this forenoon we received a Spanish
Mail. The Papers from Madrid are not of so recent
a date as those that had previously reached us by ex-
press. They state, that on the 26th of May, the Bat-
talion of Barcelona is said to have had an action with
the faction of ROMAGOSIVINKO, in which 25 of the
in,urgents were killed, and 40 wounded or taken
prisoners; the Battalion had a Captain and one man
wounded, and a Serjeant killed.

A Lisbon Mail, bringing Papers to the 9th instant,
reached us this forenoon. They contain little addi•
tional information relating to the late conspiracy, the
following extract being all that is stated on the subject:
