The Belfast Northern Whig, received this morning, has an energetic
and spirit-stirring article, headed " OUR CHURCH BILL DESTROYED, Or UR POLICE BILL REJECTED, AND OUR REGISTRATION BILL DOOMED!" To this may be added, the Dublin Police Bill also, is destroyed. Literally, at the close of this-long session, "nothing has been done for Ireland." The Whig points directly to the cause of all this devastation, when it call upon the " Irish slaves" to reflect that "one hundred and thirty-eight individuals" think themselves an over-match for them and iheir Representatives. The news from the Contineot this morning is not of much import- anee. A Carlist expedition from Navarre into A rragon had been un- successful; as the inhabitants of the latter province proved faithful to the Queen, and gave the iusurgents a rough reception. It is said that MERINO suffered a severe defeat on the 20th of August, at Almarza. In several of the great provincial towns, among which were Valladolid, Cadiz, and Salamanca, the monks had been expelled from their con- vents, but Without violence or bloodshed.
