ELIGIOUS INJUSTICE.-Sir Robert Inglis, last evening objected to every attempt to divert property to purposes contrary to those of the original testators. We must, consequently have the utmost horror of that Act of Parliament, by which Protestants seized all the property left by pious Catholics, for purposes which they believed necessary to their eternal salvation, yet no man in the United Kingdom would be more horrified at any attempt to carry the wills of the original testators into effect. He looks upon it as s icrilege to teach writing and arithmetic, in schools founded by the testators for grammar, yet will not allow one shilling of the funds to be expended on the education of those for whom they were originally set apart. Religion in the eyes of some people sanctifies the grossest acts of injustice and cruelty ; and when misapplied perverts, in the most upright minds, the plainest dictates of morality. T  wo ,ueens were at theATe7aTi..rTuesday night Last,—.her Majesty and the_ Queen Dowager—each attended by a numerous suite.  REDORTE said that the Gallant Marshal did not hold 'the same language in the Chamber of Peers, and that though there were two Chambers there certainly were not two Spains. Count MOLE had done nothing for constitutional Spain, and yet the frontier was as well guarded, and the naval force within two sail of being as large as they were proposed to be under the more liberal auspices of the illustrious Marshal. The ships of the English squadron were allowed to unship their guns and carry them ashore, thus rendering material military as well as naval assistance to the QUEEN'S cause. What was there to prevent France doing the like ? And what the meaning of a reserved right by the Government but a liberty to falsify its pledges to Spain in the hour of need? This was not fulfilling the Quadruple Treaty—it was reserving French intervention till the existence of Spain as a nation was perilled. M. DUFAURE, Minister of Public Works, in answer to M. MATTHIEU DE LA REDORTE, said that the present Ministry had been accused of violating the ar; ides of the Quadruple Alliance, but he repelled the accusation. Nothing had been done further, than to facilitate the transport of troops, ammunition, &c., for the constitutional cause, and, as far as regards internal intervention, the Government thought that the Spanish people were the best judges of what was best for their country, and that France had no right to impose a Constitution upon them. M. PAssY, Minister of Finance, was more explicit. With respect to the relative conduct of Fiance and England he observed, that their commercial interests differed so essentially that no just comparison could be drawn between them. Should, however, he be a Minister, and the Pretender were on the point of gaining the upperhand in Spain, he would not hesitate to inundate the country with French troops to protect the Constitutional cause. This is surely the essence of absurdity. and self-contradiction. One Minister tells the Chamber that the Spanish people should be left to choose their own form of Government ; and another follows, declaring that should that form be the absolute, represented in the person of CA RLOS, he would inundate the Peninsula with French troops to destroy it ! And if France has determined that CARLos shall not reign, does not the principles of justice and humanity dictstte his immediate expulsion ? Is it not the excess o? cruelty to permit him, month after month, and year after year, to go on pillaging and saturating with blood the finest provinces of Spain—aping the airs, prostituting the prerogatives, and exercising the executive functions of lawful sovereignty ? Why not at once denounce him as a traitor and a murderer--an enemy to Spain, to civil liberty, and social order ? Is the assumption of the regal dignity a nolens volens investiture with a sacred character in the eyes of Marshal Sour,r and his Royal Master ? We have been acquainted in our time with some pious old women who thought it very criminal in children to devour with irreverence ginger-bread Bishops ; and doubtless there are courtiers who are sticklers for an equally awfully approach of whatever bears a no nearer resemblance to a lawful Sovereign than does a bit of gilt dough to the Bishop of
