This was a proposal to rub MSS to pay Tent with a vengeance ; ar.d, as roe':, it wee very properly tejected at once by the surname poet rament ; and the rejection was ecoompaitd with natty smog hint to the Supreme Court that the fete ad commission payable to its registrars ought to be forthwith reduced.

They were obviously right is.+ m o oing their &section to Sir IstWEINCE Pages plea of indemeiffesties; but having rejected it. they were by so emelt the more bound to devils ems Mme whereby empezeatioa might be made to the e dbras. That qmstios, however, they do nut sp rat to have considered; sad in the only prow Word sir documents is which it is refined to, b treated as one of doubtful solstice✓ sad se if the acre e• goverasont of has were set the sw borithe k decide it.

Their claim, too, has bees recognised in legislation; foe when Mr. Blame wade a wailer &fink as registrar of the Symms Court of Madras, no less a sum than 49,906 J. were directed to be made good to the sufferers from the Tolman d the Indian governments. Tter lanes of the papers on this point is the more sigsifieset, es tee report of the commiaion which beamed into Sir Tuccus Terrines debar:atlas:9, cloa eledes by corgrathiating the eupreme government that though their grass amount is large, " it is so sub ended anacerit tee diarist estates and trust., that theses abstracted from etch is, happily for the enf lame, is melt cams somparatively small.* But seedy it le set intended to be argued that cothpeesa tise should not be made because the lon is meet Mrs will be little felt? There is a complete agreement of opinion amongst the lawyers sioasulted teat Sir THOMAS TURTON'S reveries di not amount to a legal offence. Bu' so impressed was Mr. &TWINE, the law member of the liwirtme Cunoc I of India, with the enormity of his slime, that he suggieted the propriety of sappythe the eeficiriacy of the statute law, by the enactment ef a retrospective act of pairs and penalties, under which he would have bad Sir Tisomea Team henspertsd for fourteen years. On this proposition there wee a daft tierce of opinion in the council; and Lord Dennouns at otos announced that be remold refute his sinerot to any such enactment. Is coming to this determination the Governor Oeseral was principally indu.'uced by doubts as to the power of the supreme government to pus such se set; and herein again he differred in op-mon with Mr. Bernuni. The difference on this posit involves a garottes of the very highest impsmears—nothing short of the extent of the legislative powers of the supreme government of India. On it Lord D.u.- JONI! Witte as follows : I am by no mesas confident that the power of the mama d LAS to pass a retrospective set, inflicting peaishenest on es iis'ivldual fur • ioaduct which the statists law of Bag had had not mord id to be a at.., sad thus exercising se authority which the imperial pailsseat ball does not pet forth except es the meet oceastous, sad at dismal later val., would be received es isdispwabls, either by tr g La s : *Mt ups in England, or by eke Hoeourahle Court of ardor whom we serve.

To this view of the Qovernor-General Mr. BITEIIIII this replied : I lielE the legislative power conferred by parliament se the Ooverserlieseral is Couseil to be as hog. with's the ethers dies op reties, as that of parliament itself for the whole of Is-r lifejesty's dominions, fabled fret to Mess 01- yeso seeptious, made b 7 the set by which this power was seated, sad I thick it right to rent this eplaiss se phial, bee, whet se pona the eirmilless of doe gevencip °l4 l 4l novel appear is some degree le esisliMasste 6 Isferest doetriaa And there, at present, the matter rest& Sir Meth ItASTrITON has perpetrated afoul robbery,for whisk there is no punialmmet, and his victims are without redress.

Nor would the ne- 'virtu. SW. me ham been arrested or det cted, even now, but for the abilLy and fearlessness with which the camemittee pro. reeled to . xreute the important teak c mfi led to them. The names of James Nlscfartaee the younger, Leeurieux Chalon, sad Pediment Cavalier, will be long held in grateful re imemtnnoe by the Inhabitants of this colony, and our chil dren yet unborn will be taught to repeat them with venera tion. We Avian, for the present, from further remarks upon the subject, as legal proceedings have been taken against the debnquents. The last fortnight has witnessed the meet i ng and the diaolutio t of oar assembly. Readers at a distance are aware that the sitting of the legislature in March terminated unsatisfactorily. Th• council had refused , to give its assent to the hill passed by the Assembly I for reducing the salaries of public officers, and the latter body had declared its want of confidence is the ' former. It had further applied to the crown for a reform of that board. The council had also petitioned her Majesty, complaining of the conduct of the Amiably, and justifying the coarse it had pur- sued in nf. rence to the measure in question. Having received her Majesty's determination upon the ques lion n fervid to her by the two branches of the legis lature, the governor summoned the house to meet on the 26th June for the discharge of business. Hie speech at the opening of the session will be found in our impression of the 26th. To this speech the house replied very shortly on the 27th. On the following day the governor sent down copies of the despatches from her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colo nies in reply to the mentor al respecting the council, and his despatches relative to the cooduct of the amenably. These were referred to a special commit tee, which made a report on the 3rd inst., and subse quently passed the following resolution : That as there seems to be no disposition oa the pert of her Majesty's government w afford the Tenets so urgently prayed for and demanded by the home and the people, ae set forth in MINIS amorists end palm% but °tithe con trary, every de-ire has bees seated tameness the present eatssersgant espeeditere which the impoverished coodi , ion of she inhabitants readers it impassible long--r to sustain, the WIWI considers that it will best wank the rights and in tomes of the mastitmucy by abstainieg from any attempt at the farther executes of leiefelative Inactions until the pito * shall have expressed their decidon on the course whisk kat bees hitherto pursued by the house. Copies of the report on the despatches and of the above resolution having been sent to the governor, the latter immedisk ly dissolved the Assembly. In the speech delivered by him the following denial of the assertion in the rimier ion is made : The erroneous assertion that a desire haa been evinced by her !dojo ty's government to continue my extravagance of expenditure, will be sadleisetly answered by nay remarking, fine, %hot the seals of expenditure, at its highest elevation, was always what had bees prop- sod by the Moue of Assembly; secondly, that the general szpendimee, by efficail returns. which hays been for soma time beim the Home of Amiably, is shown to have decreased within the last three yeah, from three hundred and four Mound, to less than two hundred and thirtraix thoussadqads; and thirdly, that it is toper WM* to point out a • expression, on the part of her Ma esty's government, w ieh is indicative of the slightest ob jection to the colonial logialature's reducing the expenditure still further, provided there be no violation of lsgel oblige , tion or avid faith. The elections are to commence on the 14th instant ' with the parish of Metcalfe. This parish is the last formed in the island, and is named sifter our late esteemed governor, Lord Metcalfe. It has been selected we presume in oonstquence of its juvemility, as well as on amount of its present unsettled condi-ion arising out of the late legal decision respecting the clerk to the magistrates, sad the agitation of a general and very active canvass, in which the cake and one of the justices of the peace are engaged in opposition to the late members and another justice of the peace. Party . spirit rune very high in this parish, and the election is expected not only to be severely , contested, but also to be charactenad by unusual violence. The circumstance of the head of the ms a candidate, arc engaged in it, added to lie hams my recently tendered his resig nation as costae, in consequerce of the decision of the Grand Court is the mitre of the clerk (which resignation we understand ths governor has declined to accept until the election has terminated) has occasioned considerable alarm for its procoe and quiet. Partial rains have fallen, but dry weather still afflicts portions of the island, blasting the planter's hopes, and destroying his best efforts. In the midst of our distresses, however, we enjoy peace and quiet, and notwithstandies the excitement Inseparable from a general election, we have every reason to expect these will be recurred.

FIRST REPORT OF THE SUB•LIVISION OF PARISHES CO t ItISSION RS. To the Queen's Most Excellent Msjoity.—Wr, your Majesty's C..ismiesioners afp dated "to isepoire into the practicability and mode of subdividing into distinct a"4 dependtiot parish. a, for an atelesiastical purposeg, all the densely-peopled parishes in England and Wales, in such manner that visa population of each, except fa particular cases, at our discomfits, shall not exceed four thowiand souls," have inst.:wed as titans:ye i. quiry throug..nu, ti.. morel dioceses respecting the condition of such parishes as appear from the amount of theta population to come within the mope of voter %jetty's commiwi n. and we are sequirit g much valuahle information respecting those palettes and thar existing subdivisions. We have see ezantined several witnesses for the purpose of aseeraining the state of the law as applicable to these subdivisions, of which there are now many kinds, differing in their legal character and circumstances ; • few only hating the templets form of distinct and independent parishes. The field of our inquiry is so extensive, and the details which it campy/herds am so various, that we cannot hope, without mach more information than we yet possess, a. d ry careful further deliberation, to be able to present to your Majesty • full report; but we think it advisable to state without delay oar opinions on some important point/Ira moving which we are already agreed. We may, as a prelminary bservation, state that we find large and extensive powers, relative to the division and illiii•1111011 of parishes for ecclesiastical purpose, &heady vested in the Church Building Commistioaen ; but we con r the law at present very defect we, with respect to many important pinto connected with church extension, and with that improved pastoral euperintendence which it was the object of the Church Building Atte to effect. It is moe drivable that those acts, now seventeen in number, should be consolidated, and that the various t nutmeats scatter.d through them should be made consistent with one another. We undendend the t rens of your Majesty's commission, se directing our inquiry to the expediency of giving • eom pletely parochial comae et, for all o celniaatical purpose., to every division or anbdivision of a parish, and of making every such division and subdivision with its church sod minister in all respects independent of the original parish; and we conceive it to be our duty to consider this question, with reference to admire divisions and subdivisions, as well • so those which may be made hereafter. With revard to the question of division, the opinion we have formed is strongly in favour of entire independence, as a general principle. There are doubtless loses in which, Gem peculiar circumstances, it may be desirable to have chapels of ease served by licensed curates, the incumbent of the mother ehurch being in every such core incumbent also t f the chattel of ease ; but we recommend, that there should be no lateens. diate state between this entire subordination to the incumbent of the mother church and complete separation and independence. One of the chief obstacles is the way of carrying out the principle of complete separation is the difficulty of making an adequate provision for the incumben:e of newly formed nerisher. Wears not yet prepared to report fully on this sub ject; hut, in connexion with it, we desire to offer the follow lug suggestions. With respect to pew nate, we are aware that various and conflicting opinions exist as to the expediency of reeognia Eng by law the right of nceniog money fee pews or sittings in churches. Thir, however, has already been done in the Church Building Acts • and independently of the great practical difficulty of abolishing so large • source of teen atictical revenue, we are of opinion that there sr , dher reasons in favour of the continuance of the system, and that it may be so regulated as not only not to exclude the poorer clue's, but in some oases to be made the moans of encourthirg many to frequent the church, who now seldom attend public worship. Although it is no doubt desirable that an incumbent should derive his income from endowment rather than from pew ream, and that all 'Wier in church should be free, it must be borne in laird that in many instating especially in the cue of additional churches, the income depends chiefly, it not entirely, on that s now, and thee pew rents are nasally pail by persons who would not contribute to the support of the church in any other way, to tie same extent ; and it is also to be considered, that many parsons, in comparatively humble life gladly pay a moderate rent for the privilege of occupying a permanent sitting. The Church Building Com missioners are empowered to fix • scale of pew.renos, when ever the,' have contributed to build the church, but not otherwise, except in the ease of a church built under the Private Patronage Act (1 and 2 Will. 4, e. 38) wiser. such power is vested by the Cturch Betiding Acts in the Church Building Commissioners, or by their direction ia the trustees of a church built under that statute; sad, with three cr eepiness, no such power is vested by the Cnorch Building Acts is any other petty. The scale of pew-rents established by the commissioners tiny afterwards he revised under certain conditions; but the aumb r of free sittings origi nally settled is incapable oil alteration, although experience may demonstrate to the conviction of all parties that a change is desirable. We are of opinion, that are should be taken to provide a due propertion of sittings, at moderate rents, for persons of the middle or lower Wean, and that tree seats should be ap propriated to those who cannot afford any pment, but whose regularity of attendaeoe makes it desira ble that ear nth specified sittings should be appropriated for their use We also think it desirable, that askule external difference es possible should be made between rented and free sews. We also .recommend, that upon any question arising as to the appropriation or occupancy of settings is any thatch or chapel, the bishop should be empowered to issue a commis don to the archdeacon, rural dean, or one of the aeighb wr ing clergy, • clergyman nominated by the incumbent, and a layman chosen by the churchwardens; and that the den 'ion of them commissioners, it approved by the bishop upon consultation with his chancellor, should be final. We recommend that the powers of the Church Building Commissiossers with respect to thing and altering a scale of pew rents should be enlarged. Doubts have arisen on so important point connected with the right of menpying pews. It ia contended that the in habitants of district parishes may not merely continue to occupy pews and anises, but even hive pews and sittings assigned to them, is the mother church, at the end of twenty years, although they shall then have become estempt from the liability to mph it. We are of opinion that after the formation of • district se fresh sasignment of sittings in the mother chunk amid be made to inhabitants of the new district. The saleject of fees laid cffierttige has also engaged our attention, and we have no baited= in expresang our opinion, that all fees and offerings arising within each tech damical division should, as soon as possible, he amlgned to the incumbent of that division. This general rule, however, cannot be fairly carried into effect without compensating the existing incumbent of the mother church, to whom these does bare been reserved, mid who depends upon them as a portion of his perhaps scanty Income ; and, in the case of a Heine dependant almost en tirely upon fees, the nestemese might require the same protection. We end that the principle of making compen sation in inch cases has been acted upon to a considerable extent by the ecoladastical oommisii*nere for England. We next d to the important subject of patronage. The • phi of amigniag patronage in return for endow- ment, appear to have be en acted upon from the commence. mint of our paroehial system ; and it was recognized in the act 1 & 2 Will. IV., a. 38, -and still more fully in the act of 6& 7 Vie. e. 37, 90 (generally known as Sir R. P. el'a Act), whi ch provides, that if any person shill offer a bear &alin deemed sufficient by the Eadesisatkal Comminionera /or England, he may, upon the recommendation of the coin misaionen end by an order of your Majesty in council, be made patron of any new district or parish constituted under that act. . . . . . . . . W4;aire of oplatoa that the prongs,» of the Aet 1 and 2 Wm. 4, e. 38, are capable of improvement, with a view to, the further encouragement of the erection and endowment of new churches by private persons. With respect to the patronage of district parish churches, the framers of the Act 58 Oeo. 3, o. 45, appear scarcely to have paid sufficient attention to the ground, on which atone a right of patronage should be given ; they provided that the patron of the mother church should, in all oases, ,become patron of the district parish church We are of opinion that the right of patronage may, in such cases, with the consent of certain parties, be properly usigned to any individual who shall contribute an adequate endowment. Similar arrangements es to patronage might be applied to some of the numerous district churches and chorines, of which the incumbent of the mother church has already been made the patron, without having endowed them : the patron age, however, not being changed until the next avoidance of the mother church. Under the 15th section of the Act 30 IV., e. 72,• provision is made, empowering incumbents, trustees, and others, with the consent of bishop, patron, and incumbent, and with the sanction of the church buildiag commissioners. to surrender the right of patronage of any church ot benefice in favour of any corporate body or person, or to mike any . agreement as to its endowment fo r the xpress purpose of im proving the Parochial system by the r e eiderAul division of the parish. By the act 8 & 9 Viet., a. 70, it is provided that the patron age of a church may be assigned to any body corporate, or to any individuals, but then the enigma's» must be made prior to the consecration of the church, and the consent of the bishop, patron, and incumbent is required. We are of opiates that these provisions may be extended; and that additinial facilities should be given for assigning patronage isfeeturn for endowment. We are aware of the difficulties connected with the sub ject of church rates, m affecting the division of parishes, but it appears to us essential that we should offer some sugges tions up°n it in this report, minor, In our opinion, the pre sent state of the law is at once vague, detective, and un just, and forms the chief to the establishment of a sound sound parochial system. It has been ureently represented to us that the law in its present state »flies a very serious hardship on the owners of property, in distinct and separate parishes end district pares, by compelling them for twenty years, not only to provide for the expenses of their own church, but to contribute towards repairing the 'Bother church. In the cue of a chapel» distill*, out off from& distinct and separate or dis trict ;ninth, the grievance is still greater; for although the inhabitants, during that period of time, pay • doable mito— sis, to the mother church and to the distinct and 'operate or district parish church, they have generally to provide foe the repairs of their own ehepel also, by voluntary *cairn». tiona, thus vinosity incurrine the burden of a third rate. The most obvious remedy would be, that every division and district should be liable tea tete for its own shuck ex chapel oily, and for as other. Such a role, however, could not be immediately and universally applied. Some special provision must be found for those oases, in which there are still existing charges on the chars* rates of the whole on anal pariah, for the »paymest of moneys borrowed for the general ecclesiastical purposes of that parish, and also for eases, in which the mother church has contributed, by rates or voluntary contributions, towards the erection of a new chores ; and probstly ataofor other caws, where a very poor near, Gulp may have been lett to tee mother church, that church lei g perhaps large and uilapidated and !igniting frequent and expensive repairs. We are or op nion that the Chu-ch Building Commission ers should be required to re-consider the boundaries art aQ &vintner Subdivision" of panshee, which have been effected under proper authority, with special reference to the question of a part and equitable dirribution of the chunk rre ; and then to Tee...mond to • our Majesty, in cocoa], to fix a time when the new parish may be Properly and fair!, exempted from the double rate, and tile remaining part of the otiginal parish, and the new pariah, or district, 'overpay made liable only for .he repair 01 i a own c..urcrn or che j a A l• and we recommend that each parish or district shoul d then posams an open p,riah 'miry, with all the incidents, powers, and promaions applicable to within of parish churches ; with separate churchwardens, one choer aria l the inhabitant ratepayers within the particul a r or district, and the other by the incumbent; and that the churchwarden belorgiog to any new parish or district should, so far as may be practicabie, have the same power of seating the parishioner., as la payees. d by the church wardens of old parish churches; and under such circum stances we recommend that all select vestries formed under the Church Building Acts should be abolished. Soma difficulty may arise in oases where an endowment has been left, timer for the exclusive becefit of toe mother church, or for church purposes within ti e parish ; and ca ne general rule could fairly be applied to all nth COW ' it stems that power to deal with them should be given to the church buildicg connnicniers. One of Use mast serious obstacle a to the effectual mbar'. sion of parishes is found in those numerous !neat acts of par liament which have been cons rued to exclude certain pe rishes from the operation of the Church Building Aat... It appears to us, that this °basely to church exaction should be removed. Our attention bee been directed to the recent legislation on the apportionment of parochial charities, which it is leered will give rise to muen *sedan end expensive litiga tion. By the act 3 fleo. IV., c. 72, a. 11, it was provided, that the chetah building commiseteuers naiad have power to apportion parochial charities among the several ecelesies ' teal districts, but en this power could nut be conveniently ennead by that body, it was afterwards tranterred, by the act 8 & 9 Viet., c. 70, s. 22, to the Court of Chancery, which was enabled to apportion them by a summary process. It appears to us, from cases which have a Irony arisen, that sums 1111111 tr legialation is nem siary, to prevent litigation sad expense. Amongst the subjects to which our attention has beta directed is that of affording infused totalities to the In habitants of parishes or enlesissucal districts, towards pro viding themselves wiih suitable places of burial ; the act 9 and 10 Viet. o. 68, mint., parishes or districts, with the sanction of th e Church Building Commissioners, to divide off land amongst themselves tor separate burial grounds, to which a chapel for the burial service is attached, osmium to each parish or denim. We thins that a further power should be gat a for parishes and districts to unite in pur chasing land for this purpoie and homing it off according to Whir respective wants, and to deny tote cost by a rate ap portioned among the several parishes and districts, according to the extent of land assigned to each. We hand to prosecute our inquiries, in the hope of ar riving at further practical conclusions, and expect to be able shortly to lay before your Majesty a general view of the probabto number of aew pertains and new churches re quired in ell the dicomes of linked and Wales; but in the meantime we have considered it to b. our duty to submit to your Majesty the foregoing suggestions, in the full belief that their adootian would esientialty promote the object of your Majesty's commission, not only by facilitating the for mation of new parochial divisions, but by giving a more completely parochial character to the numercus disairs al ready formed. All welch we humbly report to your llajesty. Wawaa our hands and seals, this ten. nty.seventh day of July, 1849. T. Bbor, Harrewby, C J. Landon, J. Lich field, Ashley, Sidney Herbert, Y. N.

On Saturday morning, shoal, after 8 o'clock John Smith, of Newcas•le, a middle-aged shipwright now in the service of Mews. li,wks, Crawshay, and Sees, was at work on the High Level Bridge, across the Tyne, the floors of which are laid in shipbuilding fashion. Ile had occasion to pus from the permanent to the temporary bri 'go at the south end of the first water etch, counting from Newcastle. A loose plank eateuded from the oue brings to the other as a roadway, and when tie placed his foot upon it, it canted over. The end upon which us stepped had bean lying, probably, upon SLIM loose gravel. Ha was looking westward at the time, hut found Liman suddenly turned eastward, and with his bead down. His thought at the moment was—" I'm gone !" Immediately below wrath* projeeungeomice orate stone pier a.. the lower-roadway of the bridge, eu which he must dash in bis descent, and be thence precipitated into the Tyne, at a depth from the plank of 120 feet. But he was miraculously arrested in his doe award course. A huge sail had been driven to the depth of an loch ands half into the end of a eras-bearer on which the tempo rary platform rote. It served ao purpose, but had apps. natty been driven in from mire caprice. The projecting head was John Smith's guardian angel: it aught his fustian trousers at the leg, a little above the hem (if that be the right word), and he hung suspended, swinging to and fro in the wind, and g ring downwind upon the cornice and the flood, which threatened him with a double death. Edward Ward, a painter, with Mears. Cummins and Fkbenk, was the first to observe his situation, and running up, held him by the leg ; but Smith told him that he aunt obtain rusher assistance, or he could do him no gxd. Ward then alarmed the other workman—soar of whom procured a ladder, by which they got ein to their comrade from the lower bridge, and reieesed him frost peril. Oa the following Monday, when in c invereation with him on the bsidge we suggest :c1 that he s ould pr serve hie tram ra and the nail as memorials of his deliverance from death. "Nay," deverutly replied the worthy shipwright (who has been many years a member or the Wesleyan body), thought either of my trousers or the sail while I was hanging in the air. It was the hand of God that held me up. I thought so at that moment, and I think so now." Unlike tie bailie he gave no thanks to the nail-driver or the weaver.—Gagerhsod Observer.
