"9. Because, if it should be true, as has been stated in debate by the supporters of this bill, that if it becomes a law it cannot be carried into effect, but mast remain' a dead letter,' we consider that it is still more inconsistent with sound legislation to pass a bill which, without giving any security whatever, tampers with all the principles of religious freedom, creates discontent and alarm, and, by bringing the law into contempt, lessens its farce and right ful authority. " 10. Because a determined resistance has been offered to all suggestions made during the progress of the bill for the correction even of obvious and verbal errors, as wed as for the amendment of certain provisions of which uo justifica tion has been attempted ; and because the reason assigned for taking this course, arising from the possible inconveni ence and delay apprehended if this bill were returned to the House of Commons, is inconsistent with the free delibe rations of this house and derogatory to its just rights and authority as a branch of the legislature. " 11. Because, upon these grounds, we cannot but con sider the passing of this bill to be most inispedient and most unjust. We consider it ill-adapted to protect either ' tho prerogative of the crown or the independence of our country, while edealated to revive civil strife and se :tartan diermations _• we paiessa against it. likewise, as a departure tom those WO pdasilies of religious liberty to which our greatest states ea bays devoted their intellect, their genius, and *dr sobisat mantissa don;the LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 31. 7 40NTEAGLE of Brandon.

Because no such measure as eat present is consistent either with justice or expediency. "2. Because tho bill appears to have been misnly dictated by the excitement which has recently prevailed—an excite ment which it was the duty of the government and the legislature rather to allay than encourage. Any attempt to interfere with doctrines by act of parliaraent is not only likely to fail, but may even promote what it is intended to repress. " 3. Because it is most unreasonable and inconsistent to pro fess to grant full toleration to the Roman catholic religion, and at the same time to prohibit that species of communica tion with the see of Rome which is indispensable (or its per • feet discipline and government. " 4. lke.tufn• the undue assumption of power involved in the terms of the Papal rescript of the 25tli of September, Imo, and of other documents connected therewith, however justly open to exception, can supply no reason for depriving her Majesty's Roman catholic subjects of a regular and or dinary part of their ecclesiastical organisation. " 5. Because the appointment of ecclesiastical officers is essentially a matter of religious concern ; and although it may be expedient in particular cast that such appointment should be under the controul or influence of the civil power —and although it is the undoubted duty of the legislature to provide that no temporal powers are exercised, and DO temporal rights impaired, under the pretext of ecclesiasti cal regulations, yet to restrain a religious community not established by aw in the management of its religious con cerns, otherwise than by confining them within the sphere' of religion, is inconsistent with the spirit of all our recent legislation. Such restraint involves the principle, and may lead to the practice, of religious persecution. "6. Because the set of the 10th George IV., chap. 7, which, fur the first time since the Reformation, secured to the Roman catholic subjects of the crown an equality of political rights, constituted a solemn expression of the in tention of the legislature, and a pledge to the Roman catholic community that they should thenceforward enjoy a full religious toleration. . . "7. Because the 21th section of the 10th Cizorge IV., which prohibits all persons, other tlam those thereunto authorised by law, from cumin the titles of archbishops, bishops, and deans of the national church, affords no pre cedent ter this bill, inasmuch as the former simply defends from 111%14411 certain known legal titles already appro. priated, and importing high digaitics and eulnahle rights, whereas the latter amounts to the total prohibition of a diocesan episcopate. "8. II cause the penal prorisions of this bill not only differ in the above-- wed respect from those of the 10th of - George IV., but they differ further to the prejudice of our Boman catholic fellow-subjects, inasmuch as they are pre ceded by recitals and declarations of law, concerning which the 10th of George IV. was silent, whereby a new and ex tended construction may be given both to tho penal provi sions of this measure and likewise retroactively to those of the 10th George IV. "9. Because the ancient statutes against the exercise of a foreign jurisdiction, or restrictive of the importation of balls, brick, and restripts, which are cited in justification of the present bill, are unavailable for such a purpose. These statutes hal, long been sun: red to remain in.:lesuctudo. If now revived, they may be found to assert powers for the crown which would b• destructive of the religious liberties secured to protestant dissenters as well as Boman catholic's. They have no 'meth' reference to the establishment of pnn winces or revs or to the asesnnpp•.o of title., but arc equally and indifferently directed against nil exercise of jurisdiction, whether by diocesan bishops or by vicars-apostolic, and are therefore incompatible with our recognised principles of toleration and religious freedom. " 10. Because there is a peculiarly harsh and ungracious character in the present prohibition of dioctwut government of the Roman catholic community as it is not disputed that at various period..s from the Reformtion down to a recent date, the secular clergy, and more especially the Boman catholic laity, have sought for the introduction among themselves of a diocesan episcopacy, with the approval and encouragement of the British government. •' 11. Because there ire prt sumptive grotads for believing that the late measures of the Pope have been adopted under the persuasion that, if be should do what in his judgment was requisite fur the spiritual wants and intereshi of I.is own communion, the advisers of the crown not only would have no desire, but had in fact publicly ditchtimed all in tention and all title to interfere. " 12. 14ecuuse this bill, while it professes torefcr to Roman catholic titles, enacts a further and wholly gratuitous inter ference with religious freedom, by forbidding the assumption of episcopal titles on the part of any other ?ersons than the prelates of the tatablishen church and the prelates of the Scottish episcopal communion. lty the exception from its provi,ions of the mast-named prelates, who ate appointed in dependently of the royal authority, the bill plainly admits that the appointment of biahops is, in its essence, • spiritual matter, and thereby condemns it own principal provisions, . . . "13. Because it is inexpedient to protect he rights of the episcopate established by law, by needless ind unjust re straints upon the religious freedom of others. Such protec tion is likely to weaken rather than to atreagthen the na tional church, in its proper office of maintaining and en larging its influence over the people by moral and spiritual meaty. .14: Because the bill, besides being unjust to principle, greatly endangers the peace and harmony of the various classes of her Majesty's subjects in the United Ki ng d om , and especially in Ireland. Should the measure he carried into actual operation, it may engender the most serious political and social evils; while, if it should not be put in force against the use of titles openly assumed, its introduction into the statute book will have tended to disparage the dignity of parliament and the authority of the law.

The offer was accepted, and in twenty hours the Anna Robertson was got fairly into the Bay without the smallest difficulty or the least danger. For this service the master offered the Hermes 5001.; the offer was refused by the QUEEN'S officer;' he wo•did, he replied, take nothing less than the law woritd give him. He arrested the ship, and pro ceeded in the Vice-Admiralty at the Cape for 3,0001. The court awarded him 1,500/. The master had no credit for that sum, and, failing to raise it, part of the cargo had to be sold; the vessel was detained for four months by the captain of the Hermes in the open roadstead of Algoa Ray, 500/. had to be drawn on the owners for her current expenses; and the total loss to all concerned is estimated at 3,000!. Such is the salvage practice lind system of which our merchant service complain ; and well they may when they contrast the treatment they receive at the hands of foreign ships of war with that they suffer from their own. kor the Neptune steamer, being lately wrecked on its passage to St. Peters burg, was aided, protected, and succoured by the Mulish naval authorities, and neither fee nor reward was asked or expected. Isr enumerating the other day the just grievances of British shipowners, we included the heavy charges made by Queen's ehips, under the name of mirage, for assistance rendered to them in cases of distress and difficulty. This claim is, we venture to think, notwithstanding Admiral Duxuss's passionate de fence of it, not very sound in principle, very oppres sive in amount, besides being a burden exclusively borne by the marine of this country. The enormous royal navy maintained by England during times of peace, and stationed in every sea, is always justified, when objected to, on the ground that it is needful for the protection of our extended com merce. Yet fur any aid or assistance seven by a ship of war to an English merchantman, an extravagant and increasing payment is required by Queen's offi cers, and is awarded by the Queen's Courts of Ad miralty. So that the country has first to pay heavily fur OAPs of war to protect our trade ; and then the shipowner has individually to pay still more heavily for any protection, however trifling or unsubstantial, that the ships his country has already paid for may afford him. This system has the effect of reducing gentlemen bearing her NiAJEsTT's commission very decided, we live chiefly by levying extortionate tribute on first time to be have any should elect to nearly to the level of Deal and Margate boatmen, W HETH ER, if the whole matter were now for the who practical and scientific authorities entertain Channel. grayest the vessels they assist in hazy mornings in the paten t l a ws at all, is a question upon which the On so precarious an element as the sea, where dun ger is so sudden and aid so scarce and valuable, the regard the views of men so competent mr o c i principle of salvage remuneration even to Queen's judgment on the point as Mr. BRUNEL, deliberation, : Ur ITT, the most opposite opinions.

The Marquis of BLANDFORD thought at all events the clause might have been retained, so far as bodies politic were concerned. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that an attempt had been made to amend the clause with that view, but it had failed. Mr. FREWEN moved an additional clause as follows: i " That upon the nest avoidance of any benefice which has 1 so:church or chapel belonging to it,and which lima popula- of 40 persons, or upwards of 40 persons, and whieh has not been united to any other benefice or benefices by ' order of her Majesty in council, the said benefice shall re- main and continue void until a church or chapel is built wherein divine service shall be performed; and the fees and emoluments arising from the said benefice shall from time to time, whilst it is void, be paid over to the arch bishop or bishop of the diocese, who, together with the archdeacon of the archdcaconry and patron or patrons of the mid benefice, shall act as trusted for the receipt of the said fees and emoluments, which shall be appropriated by the said trustees for the purpose of building or assisting to build a church or chapel for the said benefice ; and ea soon as such church or chapel has been consecrated or licensed for divine worship by the archbishop or bishop of the diocese, then it shall be lawful fur the patron or pa terms to present a spiritual person to the said benefice, who shall enjoy all the rights, fees, and emoluments, and perform all the duffs appertaining thereto, and who shall he under the same ecelesnstical control and authority as any other incumbent in the name diocese—t?rovided always that if the said archbishop or bishop shall license any coons in the ',aid parish for divine service, then it shall be lawful for the patron or patrons to present a spiritual person to the said Will lice, who shall perform all the duties apper taining thereto, sad who shall be under the same ecclesias tical control and authority as any other incumbent." The SOLICITOR-GEN EItAL objected, that the clause was beside the subject matter of the bill, which was to amend the Church Building Acts. But beyond that be objected, that the elf, et of the clause would be in a case like that of Limohouse, where the parishioners were de prived of their church by un accident, that there would be me clergyman until the accumulative income of the living amounted to sufficient to build a new church, end no minis- Motion of the offices of religion, The CIIAIR3I.IN (Mr. Bernal) intimated his opinion that the clause did not come within the scope of the bill.

Mr. IMEWEN olioncrred that his reason for urging these clauses was this,—that in ' , all() eases churches hail bon allowed to tunable doin, awl no service %%IS performed in them except by the clergyman reading himself in. After some further c inversation, it was agreed that a choose more in consonance with the general feeling of the committee should be inoted by the Solicitor-General upon the bringing up of the mined. Mr. EItEWEN then moved the following clause: And b. it enacted that it shall and may . hu lawful for any ploh.ll to hare a private chapel built in or near to their own hawse at their own private charge, where they and their families, these visitors, their servants, and dependents may attend the usual services of the church, without such chapel loving licensed for divine worship; and it shall not be lawful for any archbishop or bishop, or any other person or persons to take any precut:dings in any court of law or ecleskiatical court against any spiritual person for perform ing any of the services of the church in any such chapel, but all such proceedings shall be and are hereby di Oared to he null and void ; provided always, that no marriage shall be solemniosl in any such eltjlit'l without its being duly licensed or consecrated according to the laws in forte at the time of the passing of this act." After having stated his reasons fur proposing t h e: clause in its prevent form, the hon. member consented to withdraw it. 'Else' hetet: resumed, and the C11.1.1101.1N reported progress. PETTY SESSIONS (IRELAND) DILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. WetiLLAGII stated that as this hill hail hitherto progressul sob silcootio, it wall uivessary now to test the committee :is to whether it should be further proceeded with. In the year 1t427 sea act was pass,l depriving ma gistrates in all 1.14.1..4 (non acting alone ; and it it were ne e:Lucy to pie. such an act then, it was still snore essential now. There had been variuil. departnre• from tho prin ciple of that hill until, by the 10th clause of the prevent measure, It was prOplAell that use magistrate should adju dieatu seminally in al! Ile admitted that in the south and west of Inland mugistraten were few in number, sail that a failure of justice might in wane instances follow if it were made imperative that there should to two magistrates to decide ; but why not appoint a stipendiary magistrate to such di/trims ? In 1101, there were 15,0110 persons in I)unclalk. 1.417 of whom were members of the church of England, and 13,740 Roman catholies and dissenters. At present there was only one resident magistrate in the place, and neither the Ito man cathuliias nor the dissenters had any man belunging to their creed in the commission of the peace. Would such a condition of things be permitted in England? Ile appre hetuled not; and what lie complained of the gosernment was fur exercising a system of exclusion in these matters, which exclusion consisted of one of class and one of creed. Ile devastated the principle of conferring such extensive powers as this bill proposal upon individual 'magistrates. It was true the bill gave a power of appeal to the quarter se,- slims, but that was a farce. The main objection, however, lie took tin the hiU was this—that it ran counter to the great principle propounded ht. Lord Plunket and Sir Robert l'eel in 11427, namely. that there should be more than one magistrate to hear eases and to adjudicate. (Hear.) olonel 1)1 iNh' suppos teil the bill upon the ground that it was absolutely necessary in the present state of lees land. Luse 1 win then agreed to. Clauses 2,3, 4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9, were agreed to. Oh Clause 10, Mr. hI.CULLAGII moved the omission of section 2, enabling one magistrate to adjudicate summarily in all eau".

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. Mr. HENLEY wished to 'snow from the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it vets the intention of the govern- Mont to carry out 90 1191K;l1 of the report of the committee upon the subject of steam communication with Australia as meornmmileel a route :lets:Ten the Cape of Cvood Hope and Sydney, and if so, whether nen h recommendation was to be Carried out by private contract or public arrangement? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that nn step or positive determination had been come to on the sabject. Ile was anxious to etc what the result of the inquiry would be as regraded the expense. The suloe,t required their most anxious consideration ; because it appeared that the minimum sum required to carry out the reeommendations of the committee amounted to lost, $lOl., being 0,0001. more than they could obtain the performance of the service for, as estimate d in the last year. Lord JOCELYN begged to move the adjournment of the house, for the purpose of having an opportunity of saying a few words on the subject. Ile begged to say that the state ment of the right hon. gentleman was contrary to the facts n,..iated before the committee. The assertimi was diame tr.eally opposed to the evidence on which the committee came to their conclusion. The statement now made by the right henouralde gentleman was similar to ow. whirl; he made before the full cointuittee of accen t. ea members, who, having heard the statement and Wor hoeing titanl the evidence of the various witnesses, asiseeel to the report whirls he (Lord Jocelyn) had the h o nour of drawing up, awl which contained the follow ing paregr ph. " Your e.sminitt,e having maturely vreig'itil the see, cal lines sag:tested, together with the objections urged against each, have come to the conclusilm that the line mew /1 from the Cape of (Jowl Mope to Sydney is the one that combine, th- Fruate4 advantages and the smallest cost to the public." There was another paragraph in that report, loath was added subsequently to the state meat made by the Chaneellor of the Esehequer, which was as fellows: " As regards the expewee to the peddle, nes sc....ley to the maintenance of each of the several lines, it appear. to your COMlilittlie, in reference to toe tenders made and to the evidence ...blue .4, that the l'iwaina route would require for its establishment to Sydney ideate a grant of &P PM., in addition to that already paid for that portico of the line. coielucted by the Royal Mai!

Or. the first elatise, Mr. ALVOCK was gratified to find that the clause gluing the CartliniSeilillert power to convert free scats into pews had 1., ue•pungtel. Ile regretted that th e goecr uaient had not u.lopthl the anegenion of the commis.ion with regard to tie salsli•iWou .0 parialiee. No one could have accused the noble lewd (Lord J Rowell) of the breach of a public trust it he had peupesed the gradual disposal by private contract of the in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and also the raking of all livings below lOW. a year up to that amount' Few were rei are of the another of livings in the gift of the Lewd !Chancellor. The pariah of St. George the Martyr lad oatmeal goody from that cause. The vain, of the Lonl ettaacellorpt living. was about 100,01 W. 000,0001. ntiaired to ra6o all the existirr.: litinge to 200/. a year, atom to create livings of that amount where Ito kings at all were now to he found. Mr. HENLEY said a great number of persona had sub se rilaXto the building of churches on the eipren condition that ties nada should be free : and no alteration should be had, without their cur.sent. Would the goventment oh. jei t ta introduce words which would offeet that object ? Lord J. It 111400.1. add the only object of the clause was to minable thn commissioners, with the non.cut of the holop, is doterwaits that certain *rata oboold he allotted to ishandarts who were regular attendants without the pay ment of say mitt ; and he thought that arrangement would be the hon. the public, and mature it by experiments, without any apprehension of thereby forfeiting his claim to patent in respect of it. Any party objecting to the patent must within this period lodge with the eon. missioners the particulars of his objts:tion, the hear ing of which will be open, and in the presence of both parties. With so much of this scheme as relates to " provi sional protection" we very heartily concur ; it is vast improvement on one of the very worst portions of the ancient practice, and will tend materm4 t o benefit the condition of the poorer class of applicants for patent rights, by enabling them to bring their inventions in a public way before 'the attention of capitalists, and so obtain that pecuniary assistance for want of which so massy practical improvements of the highest value have either been lost altogether, or have proved wholly valueless to their invenews, With respect to the board of scientific examiners, we are more doubtful. It looks plausible on paper, but in the United States, where it has been for some time in operation, it has not been found to work beneficially. We are strongly inclined to think that the true policy would be to dispense altogether with this preliminary investigation into the novelty and utility of the proposed patent, and to grant the right in the first instance almost as of course, leaving the parties who may bona jute consider themselves aggrieved to try the question of priority in the ordinary tribunals working by a the. roughly reformed system of procaline. We regard as chimerical the anticipation that this course would give rise to any increase of litigation. Then, as now, no patent rights would be contested, except those which experience had shown to be really vain. able ; and as regards these it is not pretended that the preliminary investigation before the commis. sinners should be conclusive and final as to the ques tions of novelty and priority, on which the concession and preservation of patent rights must, on any nye. tem, be made to turn. _ . . With reference to the two highly important points of providing an adequate machinery for registering and classifying specifications, and also for the trial 01 patent rights, the government measure has done much, but has left much still to be done. Reserving the further expression of our opinion on these and other portions of the bill until we have had an op• portunity of more maturely considering it as amended by committee, we may say that the public has reason on the whole to feel considerably indebted to Lord GRAN:N7I.I.es committee and to the ATTORNEY. GENERAL, for the ability with which the one has framed, and the readiness with which the other has adopted, this alteration in the law ; an alteration which, though it cannot be regarded as a final ad justment of a confessedly difficult social problem, must yet be accepted as a timely concession to an urgent public want, and a very decided step in the right direction. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENIN,. The Men/item. is headed by the resolution passed yenrtcrdav by the Assembly to prorogue itself from the lOtliAngust to the 4th November; and to ap point a committee of permanence, in conformity with the provisions of the 32nd Article of the Constitution. The Assembly has selected among the dates moved for the commencement and termination of its vacation those which comprised between them the largest term of repose. Me chief objection to tire adoption of the 10th of August for the starting point of tho holidays being an implicit evasion of the re-election of the board of the Assembly, fixed fur the 12th, M. Dupiti o d a igosed of this argument by proposing that the shorffel be reelected to-morrow, to gether with the committer of permanence. The 4th of November was preferred to the 31st October as the limit of the prorogation on the motion of M. Lefebre-Darufle, who showed that these elutes amounted virtually to the same thing, the three first days of November being religious festivals. In fuet the Ist November is All-Saints' Day, the 2nd a Sunday, and the :kd "Ia jour des Morts." The Assemble has thus managed to carve out for itself nearly three solid months of repose. The single representatives will. however, enjoy but little of that rest which they have voted themselves+ in the aggregate. They will have to place themselves in closer communication with their constituents, and to receive as well as to impart in fluences tending to the solutions of the great quells tions of the day. Among these revision (reentries of course the chief place. Already the initiative has been taken by the representatives of the (lard in framing an address to their constituents, setting in the strongest light the reasons which urged them to vote in favour of amending the constitution; and no doubt this example will be followed by the repre sentatives of other departments. On the other hand those parts of the country whose opinion has not been faithfully represented in the parliament„ will cull their deputies to a strict account for their votes. From all this mutual action the will of tho majority of the country will gradually respond with greater power and intensity to the will of the majo rity of the parliament, until revision become a ms. Ronal cry, and bear down all opposition before it. The prorogation was opposed altogether by the IMountain, who hold that the course of legislation shou'd flow on in an uninterrupted stream ; and ad mit neither fatigue of mind or body as a sufficient excuse for suspending the labours, of which the nation is impatiently awaiting the results. Later dates for the commencement of the vacation were prol.osed by M. Monet and M. Valentin, to gite time for the discussion of the Lyons Railway Bill and the first book of the Municipal Hill, but the arguments l o f neither of these members of the Left feel any weight with the Assembly. M. Orton wanted to know what was to become of his motion lire opening the gates of France to the exiled branches ut' tho l house of liourlsm, adjourned to Ist of S' member, 'which fell in the midst of the recess. The Assembly refused to accede to his proposition for anticipating the date of the discussion of this question, but ad mitted, in acquiescence with the arguments of M. Haze, that the motion for the abrogation of tho laws-of exile fell de jure on the order of the day for the Ith of November. To-day the Assembly was occupied in discussing the bill for tho renewal of the law of police on theatres. But the engrossing subject was the ap pointment of the committee of permanence, which comes on to-morrow. There appears to be a general feeling of confidence that the prorogation will pass over very quietly, without any demonstrations of Bonapartism. Hence the mission of surveillance will be probably confided to peaceable second-rate men. Everybody is us anxious as possible to ovoid being named on the committee; for the only meaning at present attached to the appointment is that it will detain the commissioners in Paris. M. Pascal Duprat demanded that M. Haze's bill on the sale of journals should be placed on the order of the day. 'this motion was rejected. '1 he house then promeded to discuss the pr o p os iti on relative to the duty on spirits distilled from molasses. interview with 'morning General Oudinot had an with the President at the Elyske. No sooner does a vacant seat occur in the Assembly than the name of M. Guizot is immediately put for ward b y rumour as a candidate. This ha s b een th e case with respect to the impending election of the Seine, in consequence of the retirement of General Magnan. It need hardly be said that the present parliament is too near its latter cud for the ex-mini& ter of Louis Philippe to seek to become, as it were, a fresh patch in the worn-out Assembly. The committee on the bill for authorising the city of Paris to contract a loan of 50 millions of francs, has adopted_ purely and simply the bill o f M. L eo n Faucher. M. Vitet is appointed reporter. The following is the result already known of 250 sections of the department of the Nord—Rh:eta' inscribed, 104,078. M. Vaisse has obtained 15,145; M. Delaroyire, 9,221; lust votes, 5,032. The number of votes to render the el ec ti on va lid i s 30,250. There a s.rc es st7lol sections of which the results are not known. The election of M. Value is secured. M. Deluroyelre is the legithnist!candidate. Thus the lest four elections will have terminated in the truunple of the lionapertists. With regard to the alleged interview between Girardin and Ledru Rollin, the Patric saes: M. Leclru wrote a letter to one of his friends, dated London, Saturday evening, which reached Paris on Sunday evening, in which, in hi' Lace demonian laconic style, he says : ' It is now four o'clock in the afternoon;'s[nilc'to Girardin has just left my house; he came here at eleven this morning.
