The Rev. Dr. Miley and Mr. Nc yd O'Connell bad arrived at the Hotel firabeae, on Monday night, on their way to Havre, du i the remains of Mr. O'Connell. They travelled hth c elerity, having left Genoa only on the night of hs 12th inst., and with the utmost privacy, declining testimonies of respect to the memory of the de wed. Immediately on reaching Paris the hearse !argon) in which the coffin is inclosed, was removed ma the hotel, in order to the necessary preparations ce its transfer to Ilavre, where they would arrive ist sight. The state of M. Teste's health continued moot alarming. Intelligence received from Lisbon to the 12th inst. dorms us, that tho fortress of St. Julian bad idirered up its last captive, and that Du Antes, is di Bandeira, and all the state prisoners had ow restored to freedom on the 9th. On making heir public appearance they were received with caridemble enthusiasm, but no disturbance followed ; ad, up to the last accounts, the capital was quiet, hough the streets were thronged by the dis rmed forces of the late junta, and by soldiers in the seal service, neither party being very favour bly disposed towards the ether. Saldanha was waling Carlist volunteers in several towns in he Beim, Minho, &c., but it was doubtful if they oald be depended upon ' • in Lisbon, at all events, hey were notoriously disaffected. Hitherto the go. eminent has been in no hurry to realise some of y e most important conditions guaranteed by se allied powers. No period had been fixed l e the elections; and, to excuse this delay, Diane was attempting to prove that m ote districts of the country continued in a disturbed 21e. The insurgents who fled from Oporto previous the surrender were stated to be still in arms, and ,me cases of violence were tramped up by the go ernment, in order to justify the further suspension of re liberty of the pens. The monetary difficulties so eg felt continued to press upon the treasury; for the nail loan negotiated at Paris through the agency of aron Renduffe was barely sufficient to discharge two maths' pay out of the five mouths' salaries due to oldie functionaries. The losses to the state during le nine months' insurrection are estimated at 2,220,000,000 reis, to which must be added 1,000 coutos, the estimated loss of the bank g• establishments and holders of the funds of the ablic internal debt, making a sum of 30,000 contos, or ,000,000/. sterling, without taking into account the sees of those embarked in trade, commerce, agricul &c. To redeem the credit of the country, now at quiet has been in some degree restored, the mance minister was arranging for the collection of aes and the suppression of smuggling, especially on a coast of Algarve. In this way it was hoped to emit the finances of the country, while many of the her evils of the late civil war were being in a great tree repaired by an abundant harvest. Wheat had ready fallen 50 per cent., and the crops in general rrer showed greater promise of plenty. The insur nit leader Mantas, in making the last distribution of ry to his guerilla, told them to " keep their arms rd be ready to sally forth again, for he would speedily ant them.'

The attendance of visitors to-day has far exceeded that of esterdey. The number of visitors to the Implement-yard 1 as amounted to nearly 4,000, The horticultural exhibition es also been crowd ed, and the appearance of Sir Harry with, the hero of Aliwal, added considerably to the gratifi. anon of those present. The public breakfast, given by the sayer, was well attended, and plated off very pleasantly, as a introduction to the business of the day. To-morrow, *Tree?, is to be the grand day. The Cattle-yard will be wed at six in the morning, and the grand dinner will take hos in the afternoon, in a large pavilion, erected for the ammo in the close of Mr. Manning, situate in Waterloo, ad within a few minutes walk of the Market-square. This anlion has been erected by Mr. Manning, of Holborn, Landon, and is as elegant in term and convenient in accom eadatioe as could well be devised. It is similar in its ar rangements to those of former years, being 140 feet long, and Ii feet broad, end is capable of accommodating 1,100 persons. It is well ventilated by the roof (winch is covered with floor-zloth, and perfectly weather goof), rising in steps, around which are leaves formed of thin coma so as to allow the heated air facility to escape. The emu is to be a cold collation, supplied by the Messrs. H ig etas of the George Hotel. Ilr. Warne', of Trimingham,delivered a lecture this morn * an the cultivation of flax, which, although forming no Sestet the proceedings of the society, may be considered Whys( notice, from its connexion with agriculture. The mating was well attended, and a large number of samples elfin grown in this and other countries were exhibited. lbs lecturer examined the different varieties and pro perties of fist, and remarked that be was not going to attempt to explain the matter scientifically, but practically. ile wondered the cultivation of flax to be most beneficial la the soil instead of injurious, as had been the popular im plosion, and that it was the most profitable crop a farmer suld possibly fix upon to cultivate. The markets were sivaes good, and no difficulty was ever experienced in dia- Pang of the crop, at a remunerative and indeed ship profit. He would undertake that 500 tons could slab be turned into money as he could obtain change for alreamand note. The land might be sown with flax, and lesierwards followed by excellent crops of wheat, without to= for manure which would be required in case it had fallow. The seed might be given to cattle, and Ulmer. obtained on account of it would be far superior le say artificial manure ever brought into notice; beetles which its cultivation gave employment, not only to klaseten, bat to their wives and families, who would be *toted* their work at such times as circumstances would ; and even then every boy of ten years of age would sul._ . hreea 31. to 58., per week; and the labourer who had a • 01 7 would be far better off than those who had and Th e poor-rate in the parish in which he Ulald might be styled as merely nominal; and la be attributed to the introduction of the cut *Mien of flax ; and if any perish that was overburthened * lll sage would try the experiment, they would be able to loVief their surplus population profitably, and soon find 1 4 the advantages they had gained.

In conclusion, the lee- .1, and see tuner stated he was not one of those who thought that the . ; Mr. El adoption of thin sowing would prove a national saving, but ace Rive. he should be happy to hear what the advocates of either side a and on had to advance. i Fredc , Mr. Davis was called by the chairman, but it appeared he 4 „ erne was not present. Mr. Mackie, another advocate of thin sowing. was also absent. Mr. Harthill then came forward, sad explained the dif- A ferent quantities of wheat he had sown per acre on his farm I P' in Norfolk, and the produce. Since 1844 he had only sown 6l pecks per acre on an average, and found his crops larger than previously, when he had sown more. His general plan was to sow three pecks in October, and increase two pecks per month until January. He was not, however, an advo cate of the system recommended by Mr. H. Davis, and felt that, however it might succeed on Mr. Davis'„ farm, it would not succeed on his (Mr. H.'s) land. Mr.Warnes, Mr. Brown, Mr. W. Bennett, Mr. Oedney, Mr. Shelley, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Hilddyard, and Mr. Pope took part in the discussion. lost of them, however, seemed rather opposed to thin sowing ; and Mr. Pope proposed that the meeting pass a resolution, "That thin sowing is not a safe practice to be pursued in the United Kingdom." This was subsequently withdrawn. Mr. Shelley's remarks were to the effect that the object of the meeting was to hear both aides of the question, whereas as yet they had heard but one, that of thick sowing. Farmers must not there fore treat the question as en absurdity until it had been further investigated. He regretted the absence of Mr. Davis, aa it was he who had first called attention to the subject, and he had hoped to have been enlightened by the statements he expected Mr. Davis would have made. Mr. Davis may have succeeded, but he (Mr. S.) had found it a complete failure until the present year, when he had a crop of Barley drilled thin, at twelve inches between the rows; and it appeared to him, at the pre sent time, to be the finest crop he had ever seen. He in tended to measure the produce after harvest, and announce the result. vlJt (fTllttis N0.279.] LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1817. [3d.

Bentiork) whether, if he had a seat in the next parliament, he would more for a committee on the subject (Dike d “ Ordar.n Lord G. BENT/NCB said it was his fall intention to do so. CHARITABLE TRUSTS. Mr. HUME said if the government did not bring in a bill on the subject of charitable trusts in the nest parlia ment he should do se, if he had the honour of a scat in it. Mr. BANNERMAN complained that the hon. gentleman the member for Birmingham (Mr. Monts) had made a state ment, at a railway meeting at Biimingham, respecting the conduct of a committee of the house of which he (Mr. Bannerman) was chairman. It was imputed to 'him that he had been influenced in the decision to which he had come by Mr. Parker, an opposing solicitor. He could assure the house that, neither directly nor indirectly, by writing or orally, or by message, bad he held any communication with Mr. Parker on the aubjeet. Sir E. FILMER bore testimony to the impartiality and ability of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Bannerman) as chair man of the committee. Mr. \VADDIIQOTON also testified bis approval of the conduct of the hon, gentleman as chairman of the com- Mttee. BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER, &c., BILL. On the order of the day for the third readi ng of th's bill being read, Mr. HUME said he wee opposed to the b 1 1, because it was, in his opinion, a violation of the agreement entered into in 1836; and, although the bill bed been greatly modified, it was still of so objectionable a character that he felt bound to oppose It, and be should move that it be read a third time that day six months. An hon. MEMBER (whose name we could not learn) sup ported the bill. Mr. EWART said the objection was not to the appoint ment of bishops, per se, but to the creation of bishops e:th reference to the poorer clergy, amongst whom the surplus revenues of the church should more properly hove been divided. He objected to the admission of the bishops tnto the House of Lords, and he should vote for the motion of his hon. friend the member for Montrose. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was about to give a painful vote • be, therefore, wished to state his opinions for doing so, an d it might be well to state that they were his indiv:d4 opinions, and not founded in concert with any one else. Ile was not prepared to -dissent from many of the constitutional principles laid elown by the noble lord at the head of the government, the other night, but the only ques tion for the consideration of the house was, whether there should be a change in the conditions on which parliament assented to the creation of the bishopric of Manchester. To wards the close of the reign of William IV. the noble lord brought forward, with the full concurrence of the church, and almost the unanimous consent of parliament, a measure for the erection of the see of Manchester, to be taken out of the see of Cheater on certain conditions—namely ; first, that the dibeeses of St. Asaph and Bangor should be united; next, that there should be no addition whatever to the num ber of bishop' in England and Wales; sad thirdly, that the Bishop of Manchester, when created, should enjoy all the rights, titles, dignities, and privileges of a spiritual peer. The bill before the house might be said, in all its 'ceding particulars, to be the very converse of that bill. (Hear, hear.) The Bishop of Manchester was to be created, but the sees of St. Asaph and Bongo, were to tontine* upends; there was to fie an addition to the number of bishops, and the bishop of Manchester would not en joy the full rights, dignities, and privileges of a spi ritual peer. (Hear, hear.) When the arrangement was made tea years ago the contingency contemplated the lapse of two heel, because neither the Bishops of St. Areph or Bangor would consent to the union of the gees. One of those prelates, however, had since died, and a successor had been appointed, a most zealous and active prelate, who had accepted the see of St. Asaph on the condition that be would take charge of the two sees (in accordance with the ad of parliament) on the demise of the Bishop of Bangor. (Hear, hear.) And he would ask what changes had taken place in the dioceses of St. Asaph and Bangor which would afford a reason for departing from the arrangement which had been made ? Was there a great increase in the popula tion ? He believed not. (Hear, hear.) Had there been many new churches built ? He doubted if there had been more than three or four. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the see of Chester, he admitted that the population bad in creased, and there might be some necessity for a Bishop of Manchester ; but the question was were the terms proposed such as would justify the creation of that new see? (Hear.) Something had been said as to the Bishop of Chester. It was impossible to praise that right rec. prelate too highly; but he held a prebend in Durham, and his periodical absence from his diocese, large as it was, to attend to his duties there, in addition to his parliamentary engagements, proved that he did not consider such absence inconsistent with his episcopal duties. He had reason to know that the Bishop of Chester was able by means of correspondence to settle mat ters connected with the discipline of the church quite as satisfactorily as if he had personal intercoarse with the clergy. He did not think that there was any principle with regard to area which was imperative as regarded the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. They had dealt with the limits of every diocese in England either actually or prospectively. In the diocese in which he lived, that of Carlisle, already a large one, an additional district of sixty miles was to be appended. (Hear.) It had been said that he had spoken disrespectfully of the episcopacy. If one word fell from him having any such tendency he sin cerely regretted it. (Hear, hear.) But when it was said that the bishops had too much to do, he thought it was only natural to ask what they had to do ? (Hear, hear.) la the diocese of the bishop under whose pastoral care he lived for 18 years, what were the practical duties mere immediately performed ? Was an hospital to be founded, an infirmary established, or a church to be built—were the family of a clergyman to be relieved —was, in fact, any work of kind ness or charity to be performed, the bishop of that diocese was the firstand largest contributor on such occasions. iHear, hear.) His church patronage was not bestowed on his rola• tivea hot on the most deserving, and frequently on the humblest of his clergy. (Hear, hear.) He spoke of what he himself knew. But, at the same time, his visitation was only triennial. He lived seven miles from the cathedral town. He did not meddle needlessly in matters of comparative insi gn ificance and unimportance. (Hear, hear.) In no diocese had dissent made less progress —in none certainly was it less angry—and it was not for want of episcopal superintendence and pastoral exhortation that' the laity of the diocese of the Bishop of Carlisle did not do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before their Lord. (Hear, hear.) He, however, still maintained that the duties of the episcopacy could not be considered over whelming. He admitted, with the noble lord, that the crown had not the power of creating bishops, and that, if it was the will of parliament that more bishops should be created, it was competent for parliament to prescribe the terms on which they should be mated. But then arose the question of whet these terms were. The noble lord admitted that the new bishop would have a right to a seat in the House of Lords if he was not restrained from sitting there by statute. For the first time, therefore, they were going to restrain by statute this ancient privilege of bishops. He would not trouble the house by entering into the origin of this privilege, but he would read a passage from Bishop Warbarton's " Dissertation on the Alliance be tween Church and State." The right hon. baronet here reed the plumage, which was to the effect, that an alliance having been formed between the church and the state, and the church having surrendered its independence to the state, it received the pnvilege of state in the House of Lords for its superior members, in order to prevent the power which the state received from being perverted to the Injury of the church : and that for the church to give up its independence without preserving its privilege in the legislature would be to make itself not the subject but the slave of the state. Bishop Warburton further argued that it was not by pre scription only but baronial right that the bishops sat in the House of Lords. But it was said in Ws case that there would be no diminution of the number of bishops in the House of Lords, and that by the system of rotation, while the number of bishops was increased, the representa tives of spiritual interests in the House of Lords would not be increased. One word with regard to this principle of rotation, the introduction of which he regarded as the most forcible objection to the measure. From the oldest times the occupiers of these ancient sees represented England, and all the laity of the country, in matters spiritual. And it was now p r op osed that, with the exception of the two archi. episco sees, the see of London, and the sees of Winches. ter an Durham, every part of England should, in ro forego those rights which it enjoyed fr o m i mme = usage. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord very wisely objected to the motion of the hon. member for Erceham, for the creation of an inferior and degraded class of bishops; but this measure, by which each bishop, with the exception of those he had mentioned, was to be excluded in rotation from the House of Lords, sinned In that very direction. (Hear, hear.) He could not but look on the introduction of such a principle with foreboding and alarm, when he considered the wide-spread pravalenoe of dissent, and the language that had been used the other evening by the hon. land learned member for Bath an d t h e h on. mem b er f or Finsbury. They represented large and popular constitu encise—they declared that they supported this part of the measure with pleasure—they said the consequence of its in troduction would be, that the bishops would be one day hurled from their seats in the House of Lords—they stated that their opinions wore shared by large masses of popular constituencies; and, seeing these things, he, as a sincere friend of the church, was entitled to look round, sad to con sider whether the establishment of a Bishop of Maachester was worth a risk and sacrifice of this hind. (Hear, hear.) The Roman catholic members of that house also, who while the question related to the internal regulation of the church abstained—with a feeling of reserve which entitled them to respect—(hear)—from interfering, did, when the question of a seat in the House of Lords came to be discussed, deliver their sentiments ; and the hon. member for Kerry, with a very cavalier air, declared that bishops ought not to rear " their mitred fronts " in parliament, but ought to attend to the spiritual Mb el their respective dioceses. lie had the greatest feat that they were 'uterine on a ours.? II( 1 .7"... 41, lion pregnant with dangers to the church . (Hear, heat.) lie did not wish to go into the whole truth respecting this mat ter, though if the matter was pressed further it must be stated. It wu not only the dissent that was raging outside the church that was to be apprehended, but the heartburn lugs and divisions within the church itself were most dan gerous. (Hear, hear.) If they asked for more bishops, on what principle would they be selected? Were they sure, if they were to be taken from a particular party in the chureh, that they would add to its concord and its strength? (Hear, hear.) United within, they might bid defiance to all attacks. But if this measure should have the unfortunate effect of widening the breach and causing more separations and divisions, then, without intending it, they might do an irreparable injury to the church. (Hear, hear.) He was not reconciled to the measure by the unanimity on the paig of the episco pacy. But he would oak was there unanimity amongst the bishops with regard to the exclusion of one of their members from the House of Lords ? However, even if there were, he would oaly remark, as he had done before, that unwise de mands, inadvertently made, had ever marked throughout the conduct of human affairs the approach of ruin and decay: Itagnaque nun:Mlle. rota emudtta (Chem.) It Ives the duty of the respoosible advisers of the crown to mak* reek measures so they thought dangerous, however powerfully urged—no matter by whom supported. While he was in the service of the crown, he entertained Inch strong opinions on this subject, that he never would consent to any departure of the arrangement made e ith regard to the union of the sees of St. Atapk and Bangor preceding the erection of the see of Manchester. (Hear, hear.) When they were told by the noble lord that he contemplated the creation of three more bishops, and that the one to be now created was to be excluded from the House of Lords. he could not reconcile his judgment to this measure. (Hear, hear.) These three bishops could only be endowed by maintaining the distinction of the episcopal and common fund, to which he had before alluded. Thcirincome was to be 4,200 f. a year each. Then palaces were to be built for them, and when he looked forward to the charges which must be made on the savings from the surplus of tke episcopal fund, they would never, if they sanctioned this principle, live to see the distinction between the two funds obliterated. (Hear, hear.) He thought that it ought no longer to exist, and said that it should be de stroyed in the next session of parliament. He hoped ke had said enough to justify the vote he was about to give; to his own conscience tke reasons he had given were amply suffi cient. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said that the right hon. gentleman took a somewhat different course with respect to the bill on the present occasion from what he had heretofore pursued, though he did not mean to say that it was an In- • consistent one. lie would not again repeat the arguments by which be thought the proposition for the maintenance of the two sees of St. Asaph and Bangor separate was to be sustained. But the ar;ument of the right hon. gentleman went chiefly on the consideration that one of the bishops was to be, for a time, excluded from the House of Lords; and in support of his argument he quoted the authority of Bishop Warburton. He must say, however, that he agreed in the views of Mr. Ilaiweave, who designated Bishop Warbur ton's opinion on this subject a visionary theory. The work of Bishop Warburton, "On the Alliance between the Church and State," was marked by the usual learning• and ingenuity of that prelate ; but a more unsubstantial theory he never knew, and nothing 'but the great learning and powerful writing of Bishop Warburton could make such a theory plausible, or even readable. (Hear, hear, hear.) But the right honourable gentleman maintained his opinion in a very curious way, from opinions which • had been delivered in that house, while he set aside the opinions of the bishops, who had an opportunity of stating their objections in the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) He did not think that they had a right to apprehend any danger to the church from this measure, when the bishops did not apprehend any from it, and when it would have been as very easy, u it had been in former times, to get up a cry of the " church in danger." The bishops said, as they were justi fied in saying, " This is no proposition of ours; it is the pro , position of the executive government; and therefore we are not to be considered responsible as originating it." But when the proposition was made to them, and when it was drawn up in the shape of a Liil, there did not, on their part, arise such a repugnance to it as to make them see extreme danger in it. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman said he attached great weight to the opinions of th e hon. member for Bath and the hon. member for Kerry, aid considered the opinions of the bishops of no vales at all, that they ought to be set aside, and that they made foolish and rash vows, which would only bring on their own ruin. (Laughter.) He (Lord J. Russell) admitted that the hon. and learned member for Bath made an able speech on tho subject, but it seemed to him that he did not so much mean to convey his own opinions as to induce hon. gentlemen, on the opposite aide, to imbibe those apprehensions for the church which he endeavoured to instil, and, therefore, to reject the second clause of the bill. (Hear, hear.) That was very ably and skilfully done by the hon. and learned gentleman, the =unix'. for Bath, but he did not seem to attach much value to the establishment of a principle which he said would work a complete change in the spiritual con stitution, because, if he recollected rightly, he did not give his own vote on the question. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) His hon. friend, the member for Kerry, who had shown both good sense and good taste in not interfering when the question merely related to the efficiency of the church, gave his opinion, when they came to the question whether the number of bishops in the House of Lords ought to be increased. The opinion of the hon. mem ber for Kerry was that they ought not to be increased; but he conceived that opinion did not strengthen the case of the right hon. gentleman, but the view which be (Lord J. Rus sell) took. The purport of his argument was, that as long as their object was confined to increasing the efficiency of the Church of England, the rest of the country, who did not be long to the Church of England, would not interfere ; but that if they declared their object was to increase the number of bishops in the House of Lords, the protestant dissenters of England, the presbyterians of Scotland, and the Roman catholic' of Ireland, would all say "this is a proposition which we are entitled to look on with jealousy, and which we have a right to object to." The course taken by the honourable member for Kerry, showed that he was right in the view he took. (Hear, hear.) He would not enter into the question of the rotation of the bishops. Theoretically or practically he did not ate any ob jection to it. On the contrary, he thought that practically it would be an advantage. (Hear, hear.) Neither would he enter into the question of further bishoprics. But the right hon. gentleman pointed to other dangers arising from the bosom of the church itself. He could only say that he felt perhaps more responsibility on this subject than any one else, haviug to advise the crown on matter, of this descript ion ; but be sincerely wished to see the church of England united in itself (hear, hear)—he wished to reit maintain its ancient doctrines (hear, hear), and he muted that the protestant character of that church would be maintained in all its bishops and clergy. (Cheers.) . . . . . . ' Mr. S. WORILEi rejoiced to hear the language used by the noble lord at the close of his speech, and united with him in a similar prayer. He had heretofore supported the bill, in all its gages, but he felt compelled to vote against the third reading because he thought that the Bishop of Man chester should have a seat in the House of Lords. He could net forget that there was a time when the attachment of the noble lord to the church did not seem to be so certain so it appearedl to •be now. Neither could he forget that some who now sat on the same bench with the noble lord, voted for the expulsion of the bishops from the House of Lords in 1834. The noble lord would reform for the sake of presery ing, but others might succeed the noble lord who would change for the sake of overturning. They might use this measure as a precedent, and he would, therefore, oppose the third reading. Sir R. H. - INGLIS could not concur with his right hon. and learned friend in opposing the bill, mutilated though it was. ___ Mr, HOPE supported the third reading Mr. HORSMAN trusted that during the recess the government would well weigh this subject. The spiritual destitution of the people would be better met by strength ening the working clergy than by adding to the number of biahops. Lord H. VANE thought the bill in its present shape an improvement upon its original form. Mr. OOULBURN supported the third reading of the measure. He considered that there should be enough bishops to enable each prelate thoroughly to superintend the conduct of all the clergy of his diocese. He did not himself feel that there would be any evil in admitting an additional bishop into the House of Lords. After observations in explanation from several hon. members, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE concluded the debate by offering a little advice to members opposite, and to the government below him. To members opposite, who supported the go vernment so strenuously now, he ventured to recommend that they should show their sincerity by assisting the noble lord in his contest for the City, and ranging themselves be hind him when he resumed his seat ss minister in that house. To the noble lord he would say, that he hoped he would gather a little experience by the oourse of this debate, and beware how he burnt his fingers a second time by meddling with a bishop. (Laughter.) The house then slinded.—For the bill Against it l4-79 Mr. P. 13ORTHWICK then moved the omission of so much of the second clause as enacted the exclusion, in rota tion, of the future bishops of certain existing sees teem seats I. tb Mouse of Lords. lend J.
