Last week week we inserted a portion of the interosting intelligence received from Europeby the Acadia. The following particulars were then crowded out: Troops are daily pouring into Irelnnd, and Ihat iinhnppy land seemg destined lo continue what it ever has been - a p.-ey to cont.epding factions and nngty paesions. Ata meeting oftlie Repeal Associations on Monday, the amountof the weekly "rent," ending the l.rth instant, wns declared tt be L296. which Mr. OConneil calis tho "Perl and Welliupton contribution." O'Conneli's Jnngnage i. daily bpcoming b;)lder, and he evi.lently feela the eJevation to which he has heen rostored by the injurticious declara. ions of the EnglMi Cabinet He snys in effect he will obcy0the law as it stand?, bui f new nnd nncoi)5li:utional enacíments are to be enforced ogainst the Repeal movemenr, he will resist them by forcé, if neccssary. Jt seem?, nccording to the declaration of one of the Catholic bishop.-', thnt the wholeof that body in Ireland. wifhout any exception, are in favor of the Repeal lovement.There have bpcn wnrm debates in the Commons on the; subject of the Corn Laws, leading o scènes which doubt less rivalled any of the bear-garden' èxliibitioha at Washington, but f whicli the world loses the record, owinjr to ie precaution taken of "excludiitg the Tïo lorters.' The 'European Timea' lias the tb) - owing refcrence to this sitjec! : - Nothin? can save the Corn Laws from be np sppedüy swept away, but an inmediato evival of trade and a succession of gnod li-irests. The feeling; whifji oxists agninst them s every duy inerrasino-, and tlieir destDiclion s inevitable, un)pss mpii's minds are divertcd 'rom their conlemplation by better times and mppier duys. The debate was resumed on Vlonday, near the conclusión of whicli Mr. Tobden presented hitnselfto the House, nnd :nade ore of the most eifectivc - ïf not the very ablest of the many able speeches which he lm made in favor of Free Trade generally, anc the aboütion of the Corn Laws more particularlv.Mr. Cobdpn was warnily cheered by bis own s'ule of the House, and listened to witli much impntience by the other. Perhaps a more unpalatubie tpeech to themnjority of th rnembers was never lierd in the house of Com moiis. The volinpf showed S31 npaihst til uolion, and 12b for it. Tlie mojority thoug f mol!, bompanitiyely speaking, has increaspf by neaHv 40 votes since the discuesion; bu the resuit of the división Í3 n very inadequ-le criterion of the feeünjr out of the Ilonse on the subject of tliis odious ond unpopular la%v. The commercial accounts are scarcoly as favorable as the last. Severul recent events, soys the Times, have tended lo damp enterprise: -The agitntion for the Repeal of the Union in Irelund has become eo formidable as to aïarm the government. while it has alrcady affected tljnt most sensilive of all commodilies - capital. The mmenee gutherings in all parts oflrelnnd - the adhesión of the whole of tho Ca:ho]c hiemrchy to the cause, as declared the otlier day by one of their own body - the mínense sums pouring in daily into the coffers of the Repeal Association - the tone of defïanre rccenily assumed by Mr. O Connell - the sensntion which has been caused by the government declaration of hostilities - all these causes ivill affect tradp, and have already deprrpsed the price of confols. Tlie intelligence from India and China is of considerable interest. Jn both countries matters again begin to wear a feverish aspect. - We malie a few extracte. The India mail of the lst of April bring-s a confirmation of the brilliant success of Sir Charles Napier in Scmdr, in the capital of whicii treasuies and jewels to an amount considerably exreeding one million haebcen dif;covered. Doubts have been entertained if this treasnre trove is to be considered prize money. Lord Ellenborotigh has declared, nccordinnr t j the rumor, in favor of f Jie gallant ormy tbot won the city of Hyderabnd. Tit the meantime the Governor-general has declared tlie Seinde to be a Brilish province, aboüshed 6lavery in ir, and appoinled Sir C. Napier to be governor; and also declared all transit dutirs abolished, and the Indus open to the ships of all nat ons.The position of Sir Charles Napier in Hvderebad required to be attended to, for the popnlation of sume district?, led on by some ofj the disaffec'pd Ameerg, were preparing to renew the conflict. The Bumbay Government was most active n its efiurts to send every succorlo the gallant general, and troops have been sent from Ferozepore lo Sukknr, in order to co-operate whh those lower down the river. It is stated in a"postFcripr, Miat ü steamer has arrived nt Bombay from Kurrncliee.whicii brousfht ictelligènce tothe 28th of Marcli, and nieniioned thai afightof ihree days had taken place between Sir Charles Napier and the Ameers, in which the British were successful.
