By the arrival of H.M.S. Fly, from Singapore, Unglish news has been received up to the 24th of May, being a few days later, than we have receiver] direct The June packet had arrived there, but the news was not very important; we give below a few extracts. As was expected, the Maynoofh Endowment Bill had passed the House of Commons. The third reading being moved on the 19th May, Mr. Ewart moved as an amendment, that " Whilst it is expedient to open all the educational establishments of Ireland to Catholics, to reduce to its due dimensions the Irish Church, and to establish civil and religious equality between Great Britain and Ireland, it is not advisable to extend the principle oi making any religious denomination endowed by, and dependent on the State." Mr. H. Marsland seconded the amendment, *hich was not pressed, the object being merely to place the principle on record. Mr. Banks then moved that the third reading be deferred for six mouths : and on this question a debate took place which lasted three nights, when the Bill was passed by 317, to 184, being a majority in favor of the Bill of 133. Mr- Duncotnbe moved an amendment confining the Bill to three years, which was rejected by 243 to 145. On the 24th May, the Bill was sent up to the House of Lords, and read a first time, the second reading being fixed, on the motion of the Duke of [ Wellington, for the 2nd of June. Lord Brougham had introduced nine Bills for the | amendment of the Law in various departments, but it was doubtful whether they would pass. i The Lord Mayor of Dublin had an interview with the Queen, for the purpose of presenting an address from the Corporation, praying that Her Majesty would visit Ireland " to receive in person the homage of her loyal and devoted subjects." The Queen's reply, after the usual 'expressions of gratification at the address, said, " Whenever I may be enabled to receive in Ireland, the promised welcome, I shall rely with confidence on the loyalty and affection of my faithful subjects." From this there would appear to be some doubt whether her Majesty would visit Ireland during the present year. Mr. O'Connell's language was much more conciliatory that it had been. Instead of threatering that if the Queen went to Ireland, she should be met with shouts for Repeal at every point, and that the ministers who accompanied her, should be groaned at, he promised that the noise and hubbub of agitation should be kept from royal ears. He had also declared that " for the first time since the Union they had a government that was aware of the great advantage to the empire of conciliating Ireland." There had been "a great national demonstration," on the Hill of Tara, at which Mr. O'Conneli and the chief repealers received the sacrament, an altar having been erected in the open air; but it is spoken of as a failure, not above five thousand persons having been present. The Queen and Royal Family were well. On the 1 9th May, the Queen gave a grand state ball at Buckingham Palace, at which a thousand persous were present. Trade was exceedingly brisk, and prices were spoken of as very satisfactory. We have not been able to find any remarks about wool ; but on the 24th of May, 107 casks New South Wales tallow were bold at 355. 3d. to 39s 6d. Cousols closed ou the 24th May at 99|. There was no foreign news. Dr. Steiger, the principal mover in the late revolution m Switzerland, had been tried at Lucerne, and condemned to death.
