Tai Bishop of Lostriox's bill for establishing an Epllleopal Ward of Heresy reads for a second read ing this evening in the Lords We have already shown that this bill will not satisfy the high church party ; that it is not called for by the low church pirty; that its tendeney is to in crease the strife and discord now prevailing amongst the clergy; that its operation would be injurious, if not destructive, of th a t comprehension which the occasional and harmless discordance between the' Articles and the services of the March has, intertionally perhaps, established; that in all pro bability it would lead to collisions between the Episcopal Board and the Judicial Com mittee; that its decisions would settle satisfactorily or conclusively no doctrir e, but would unsettle property; and that it would augment the power of the episco pate in this country at a time when it is the desire of every rational friend of religion to diminish what may be called their metropolitan functions, and Az them down in their dioceses. _ _I We have also shown that the bill is a compromise of the principle on which it is founded, ter it gives to the Episcopal Board of Heresy appellate jurisdiction only; whereas, if its principle be worth a single straw, that board ought to possess original jurisdiction, and so be able to &c .d. on questions of doctrine and tenets in the first stags of their contention. Nor dose it fully and fairly carry out appellate jurisdic tion ; for, with singular inconsistency and, we may add, with singular timidity, whilst it enacts that the decisions of the board shall be conclusive and binding. it directs that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, to which those decisions have to be returned, shall report them to the Sovereign with their advice thereon ; thus shifting the ultimate responsibility from the new tribunal to the old constituted authori ties of the country, and making the Sovereign the' medium by which to narrow church and to augment dissent. That a measure involviog such dangerous incon sistencies and such sectarian consequences will ever become the law of the land, appears moat impro bable ; and first and foremost in opposition to it may be anticipated to be found the Law Lords, again: whose traditions, learning, and judicial fitness, it is topeciany directed. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council is one of those great reforms for which the country is indebted to the Law Lords, and now that India, the colonies, and the mother country have, for upwards of sixteen years, enjoyed its advantages, it will ill become its authors, and particularly Lord BROCGBA3I, to alluW its authority to be dintinistied, or the sphere of its utility to be contracted. It mast not for a moment be supposed that in the establishment of the Judicial Committee it was not in tended to give that Dew tribunal jurisdiction over such cases and questions as those of the Commit case. The very con'rary is the fact. Such jariniction was not conveyed inferentially or by any general words; but after lull and ample deliberation, with a complete perception of all the consequences, on the recommen dation of the heads of the church; particularly and emphatically on the recommendation of Bishop litouriLLD; who now asks parliament to undo, what on the 23th day of January, 1831, he especially re commended parliament to enact. Scarcely had WILLLUI IV. been comfortably seated on the throne ere be issued a commission directed Outer oleos) to six of the episcopate io investigate and ✓eport co the E.clesiancal Courts ; and Lord Baorouau had not held the (;teat Seal many weeks before be requested this commission " to report epee cialiy sad immediately" on the jarinictioa of the Coast of Delegates. The commiseionees almost at onos recomaseaded to the Loan CILtaCeLLOI " that it would be expedient to abolish the jurisdiction hitherto exercise 1 by Judges Delegate and to transfer the right of bearing appeal+ to the Privy Council ;" and the grenade and reason of this recommendation they subsequently made the sub j ect of a " special report." la this special report, the commissioners, after pointiag out the objections to and inconvenience* of the Cart of Delegates, state: The Privy Commit balm maapemd of lords spiritual sad temporal, the judges is equity, the chiefs ot the cosmos law courts, the lucre sof the civil law court., cud other per sons of legal educatkai sad habita,Melal to comprise the mate nth of a moat per) ect trOwnal far decidiag the appeals is queues. Nay, one of the particular advantages which the commissioners then saw in this transferenoe was, that the judgments of the Privy Council would be given by lawyers: It is tonal at the Privy Council for the presidia, law lord to deliver the rrinads of the jadynset ; which, being thus koowa and reported, tend to seuie principles add te establish antrormity of decision. And to this " special report" the second name sed meal appended are those of C. J. LONDON! In conformity with Bishop BLONFIELD'iI advice, the set of 2 and 3 William IV., c. 92, abolished the Coat of Delegates, and in its plow erected this " mart pe►Ject tribourof "—the Privy Council ; subse queotly rendered still more "perfect " by the 3 and 4 Wilda= IV., c. 41, which laid down the Judicial Committee, the more fully to carry out our diocesan's advice. Those were, however, days when, ender the in flame, of Lord Gnat's warning voice, the bishops IMO on, their good behaviour. Unhappily, they were finaoseded by tractarian Sinn; and their first object was to exal: and elevate the episcopacy. For a while the object was successful; it was then that the all importance of prelatical agency and of apostolic suocession came into play. But this folly has now likewise passed away; the trainarian leaden now wonder, like Caliban, at the close of the "Tempest," what it was they worshipped in the bishops they once adored ; and treat them as " dull" if not insincere. So flattering • d agree .ble was, however, this delusion, that the episcopacy are still under its influence; it has misled and still has bold of even oar astute diocesan ; and taking the traeta rians at their word, from which they have long receded, he now proposes to confer on the bishops all the power which tea years ago was so di siderated by the party. To which propuition Mr. KULL now coolly replies that " 7ha bishops are by no moans representatives of the general mind the church." And, in truth, the rieht reverend Fathers in God have oversee their masket. Bishop BLOMPILLIitI bill is therefore a piece of tracterianime. at which the tractarians themselves now tarn up their oases. But while to the tractirians matter of contempt, it is to the law lords matter t,f offence. Fur it pur poses, for the first time since the Reformation, to transfer the ciscision of contention from the learning of lawyers to the subtleties of churchmen. True it is we still have courts ecclesiastical ; but nevertheless in all of such tribunals the judge. are !avulse. Bet now, far the first time since the reign of HENRY VIM --:now in the middle of .he nineteenth century—we are to recede to the practice o! popery, and have a coast composed of spiritual persons only—of appellate bishops unacquainted even with the forms of the court whose judgments they are to over-rule or affirm ~etchurehmen unlearned in legal knowledge, nose colitamsd to foreman habits—ignorant even tit legal terms. The vury option is so monstrous as to reader the realisation a canoe's. Taff constitutional ti e:ries broached.° propos of the law tar giving a legislature to the Australian col °. 411.9, are, se ner opiates, exceedingly erroneous; wrung historically, wrong socially, wrong praden lidly.

The British °methadon is =mune between them. a most happy and sae sempressige. and, we believe, the wry best estgaintien that could be given to a meshy which is entimieing or hoe just outgrown feudalism, whilst preserving metals of its elements. To meet a Belli\ eggellitsden, however, without the final or historic elesased,in set only preposterous beg iminiiblo. And, indeed ea looking round th e wield, we do not now diseern one spot, where se= a enotitution would be likely to stand. Two years irk indeed, there existed two ()pantries in Europe ease of which not only had constitutions like the BMA, bat possessed the peculiar elements and traditions fsrpodseting them. These countries were Bioily_sat Wangery. It has pleased the Austrian sad Nenislitaa tyrants, however, to uproot theme oon stitutioge—to tread into the dust and scatter to the winds tbe elements of those that 'xis: ed . And these mili tary governments are now in the act of levelling the last historic atonements of those countries so as to leave that wide and unbroken Hat, which, in consequence, democracy cannot fail rue day to have all its own. The British congaed= will then he unique in Europe, and, we fear, in the world. For there is no fact more manifest or more remarkable than the ina bility of the English to transport either the state, each as circumstances have made it at home, or the church such as it has grown in adherenos to the state, even to one English colony. The English colony is Eng land without its adventitiousness, ite histoncal bias, and social necessities. It is Saxon England that has colonised the world, leaving, as it sailed on the waters, the Norman element at home. Nothing, therefore, can be more comical, or more distressing, than to contemplate the House of Lords dis cussing the constitution of the Australian, or indeed of any other colony. The universal desire is, of course, to see our colonists, like ourselves, under two houses, not for the colonists' sake, but fur the example. Even the good and liberal Lord FITZWILLIAN held up his hands in horror at a constituent assembly in the colonies framing for those colonies a consti tution to meet their wants. As to ministers, their arguments are plain enough. They say, we should be delighted to establish a House of Lords in the colonies, but there are neither the materials nor the moos. We hope that both may yet be found, but we see no signs of them. Strange to say, Lord SUNLIT himself, the leader of the aristocratic party in this country, was obliged to corroborate this doctrine. And his lordship gave a most striking example. A House of Lords had been ereattd, he saA, in Newfoundland, where persons in the position of lords there were none. The Commons, naturally jealous, quarrelled with the upper house, and the Speakers of both houses sent each other to prison. The imbroglio was naturally terminated be Iputtiog Lords and Commons in one house to sit and vote together, in other words, the nonsensical House of Lords of New foundlande was abolished. It would be the same in any one of our colonies. A House of Lords founded on hereditary right, on • monopoly of land, and of privilege and power attached to land, is an essentially artific;al institu tion, sprung from our history and circumstances, and which cannot be transplanted. The only thing of the lt , nd possible either in one of our colonies, or in most European countries, is • senate ; not a senate chosen by the same electors as the Commons, to sit in merely another house, and reconsider from the ' same point of view th • same questions—for that is mere political tautology—hut • senate elected by a federation of states. Now, the oddity of the debate of Friday in the House of Lords was this, that it admitted an hereditary second chamber is the c deny to be impossible, and yet anything like a federal constitution, which alone could retain and establish a senate, was scouted se a heresy equal to the heresy of a single chamber. In other words, they can't have en Australian House of Lords, and they won't have an Australian senate. It is impossible to afford a more complete cenionstratioo, teat the demarcations of the Australian constitution must be laid down by Australians them selves. As to the federal portion and provision of thaw i constitutions, it is evident that it is the prospect of foreign war , and the necessities of commit defence, which chiefly prompt such • union. When these necessities press, each state is willing to give up some portion of privileges and independence, in order to obtain a league for common safety. At a time, how ever, when such necessities do not press, and in fact are not even contemplated, separate colonies are unwilling to make the efforts and the 'seri floes requisite to form a federal onion. And hence the present resistance of some of the colo nise. In England, we cannot but feel the necessity of union and strength. But war is as yet, msy tt long be, unknown to the Anglo-Saxon peoples of an other hemisphere. We may rest assured, however, that, true to their race, they will soon know how to devise the necessary measures both for union and for farce, the moment that the state of the world requires them.

There was some talk yesterday of Lem Faucher , being appointed ambassador to . Englsad. It is to be hoped that this rumour is unfounded. M. Faresber t whatever sterling goads!s he may possess, bolt singularly un fi tted to undertake a diplomatic minion where tact and delicacy are required. It is reported that M. Busch° will ppm* Ss bill on political and civil domicile on Tassasy. Urgency will be demanded for it. The transparts. tion bill, u amended by the government, will follow a few days later. The members of the Mountain who al:retained from voting on the Electoral Bill are numbered at 40. The facts complained of by M. Faucher, in his report on the petition. agalut the Electoral Law. wore of a ludicrous and puerile character, which contrails& comically with the acrimonious solemnity of the reporter. The sum total of signatures was rear more than half a million. But many were sot Ir► cured in the most regular way. A host of mamma and children figured among the petitioners. Here a democrat of the Marne had put down all the little choristers. There three or four pages of signatures were written all in the same hand, which seemed the master's. Among the names were those of the who had drawn up the law, if M. Dupin, and Louis-Philipps. Some were violent is language, others had no text at all; many were without the printer's name; and nearly all had been taken about to cafés and taverns to sweep up a list of protesters, half of whom were sham and the other' half disreputable. M. Leon Faucher saw in all this a gross infraction of the great civic right of petition ; and proposed to institute legal proceedings for the punishment of the irregular petitioners. The results of the sitting I sent in my letter of yesterday. M. Bac made a powerful reply, in which he reminded the majority of the importance they had attached to the petitions for the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, the signatures of which only amounted to 177,000. After all the signatures to which M. Faucher objected were deducted, there would still remain in the present case half a million, who had signed in ten days a protest against the law. The signatures of the 'petitions in favour of .the law only amounted to two thousand. People talk of the Assembly being prorogued from July 16 to the let of Oct,ber. This proposition, founded on the fatigue of the Chamber, is to be brought forward by M. Berryer when he presents the budget of 1831. The Ordre ascribes the absence of M. Odilon Buret from the division on the Electoral Law to ill health, and states that had he been present he would have voted with the majority. The Nlontagnards of the Assembly, before the vote, held a meeting in the old hall of the Chamber of Deputies, to determine on and prepare a statement of the eating of their abstaining. The meeting sepa rated without being able to come to any unanimous resolution on the cootie to be followed. This will explain why some members of the party voted whilst others abstained. The committee on the budget continues actively the examination of the different credits for 18M. It has allready investigated those of the ministry of fureige affairs, the interior, justice, finance, public instruc tion and worship, agriculture and commerce, and public works. There only remain the war and navy departments. In general the committee adopt, with out modification, the ministerial propositions, taking for bails the budget of 1850. The budget of income alone will undergo some changes, which the com mittee will consider next week. It is supposed that M. Berryer, the reporter of the budget, may present his report from the 15th to the 20th June. and the Assemb may enter on its consideration in the early part of July. The report of M. Brinvillien on the project of law to nations the law on the clubs for another year, was yesterday presented to the Assembly. The present law expires on the 19th June, and authoring the government to close the clubs and other meetings which may compromise public security. Besides this the new law proposes that the government shall also have power to interdict electoral meetings, where public safety would seem to require it. The com mute., convinced, from the evidence of the commis sioners of police as to the recast elections, that electo ral meetings are merely made in some cases a means of exciting the passions and inducing disorder and eniteufs, have unanimously agreed to accord to the go vernment for a year the powers demanded. It pro poses to declare the urgency of the measure. Another report on the project of M. d'Olivier to suspend labour during Sunday and fete days, has been presented. The principal points in this law are that all public works are to be suspended, with power, however, to the authorities is case of urgency to con tinue them. All masters and employers are restricted from obliging their workmen to work on such days, and this condition relates to all religious holidays re cognised by every religion tolerated by the state. Shopkeepers are forbidden to expose their goods in any of the public streets or ways. Offences against the law are cognizible by the tribunals of simple police, and punishable. The Liberie has the following " Lord Nor mandy had an interview to-day (the Ist) with Gene ral La Hitte, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Yesterday, also, he had a long conference with him." M. Adrian Delmont, secretary of legation at Turin has arrived in Paris, with the ratification of the King of Sardinia of the convention for the continuance of the treaty of navigation and commerce concluded in 1843, between France and Sardinia. SeMuri sot arms and ammunition are stated still to be made from day to day. In one case was found a recipe for making gunpowder, which is said to be similar to others already seized in the provinces. M. Ciaranbe, the responsible editor of the Republi• can Dimotrate of the Moselle, has just been tried before the Court of Assizes of Mem, for publishing a protest against the Electoral Reform Bill, in which it wu declared that such members of the Legislative Asembly u did not oppose that measure should be cuosid. red as having given in their resignation. He was coodemued to tour months' imprisonment and 2,000 fr. fine. Likewise has just been tried before the same trout, M. Blue., responsible editor of the Courtier de to Moselle, fur publishing a protest of a somewhat similar character. M. Blau° in his defence dccl trod himself altogether opposed to socialism, and emitted that the language need was too wrong. He was sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment and 1,000 fr. fine. Them has been no business done at the Panto de l'Opera to-day, probably owing to tue Versailles races. SWITZERLAND.

Prime Sobererlsenberg has left for Wanaw, so• aompanied by several employee. It is rumoured that the Emperor will; shortly follow bins, with several of the arobdakes. Should his Majesty really decide en appearing is Person in the Polish metropolis, be will meet assuredly add to his unpopularity here; for it is well kaowa in Vienna that the only motive for such a jimmy would be the restoration of the Holy Alliance, and of new offensive and defensive union of oasaarehe meant the people of the continent. The Bunion asiondm, Count Modern, has also started for Warsaw. Sines the day before yesterday the wart has wen pled the stammer palace at Schtichrunn; and on Sun day the open space in front of the palace was crowded by the equipages of the great nobles, who designedly show themselves to the world in all the pomp and pride of their former glory. Since the Emperor's return from Trieste the ministerial councils at Schonbrunn have been most frequent : the public attach great weight to a subject disenased in councils which meet regularly twice a day, and although great secrecy is at tempted to be preserved, it is tolerably well known that the attention of the go verement is turned to Hungarian affairs. Baron Beringer, the present civil commissary in Hungary will, it is said, now enter the cabinet as minister for Hungary, but without a portfolio. The Hungarian diet is to be opened in November, by the Emperor in person. It is beyond all doubt that the government is determined not to permit the constitution of the 4th March, 1849, to be introduced into Hungary;. indeed every man of sense must at once perceive the impossibility of governing that province from Vienna. But now that the constitutional deed of the 4th of March is not to be applied either to Hungary, still less to Italy or to the provinces of Croatia, Dalmatia, and Sclavcnia, which were recently placed under the authority of the Ban, it is tolerably clear that this document cannot retain much force with respect to the other provinces. The empire of Austria is, in fact, in a state of the most perfect anarchy. Cues of madness are unusually frequent just now ; indeed insanity seems to Dave aisumed the character of an epidemic. No less than thirteen pereons were carried into lunatic asylums in one day last week from Vienna alone. This strange occurrence has drawn to Vienna several foreign medical men of ability desirous of investigating its cause. The Vienna Gazette announces officially that the government intend to regard the representation of Austrian industry at the London Exhibition of 1851 as an affair of state. 81,1 MM, I.—Voluntary Loan, 1031; National Debt, 851 ; Bank obarea, 95.

PARIS, SnrIFILDAT Elrannro. Towards the close of the sitting of yesterday M. Larabit, a veteran of the imperial army, who accom panied Napoleon to Elba, and an energetic member of the Left, made some remarks which excited attention. It appeers that according to the 57th article of the Constitution laws voted with urgency ought to be promulgated wittin 3 days after their adoption by the Assembly, whereas laws voted in the ordinary way are promulgated at the end of a month from the period of the r passing. Hence the President of the Republic has, on the pre sent occasion, enly three days instead of thirty for ar riving at the decision, competent to him by virtue cf his prerogative, whether the bill shall be submitted t o a fresh del'heration. M. L ara bit' s proposition was that the Assembly should give the President on so important an occasion thirty days for ripe considera tion on this point. Some members taking this me don for an occult protestation from the Elyeee, and a sign that some members of the cabinet were not friendly to the bill, or at most lukewarm, reminded the government that urgency had been demanded in accordance with its wishes. M. 'lapin declared that the Assembly amid neither stretch nor shorten the President's prerogative ; sxd so the affair dropped. ' The process of balloting took place yesterday, ac cording to the most solemn form, at the tribune. Each voter put into the box a ball as well as a ticket. The name of Od.lion Barrot is not to be found on either side, nor is that of De Tooqueville, who is very unwell at preeent. Gustave de Beaumont, Bar thelemy de S - . Lamoriciere, Langui pair, Fabvier, and many more members of the Ctrs porti, are among the minority. In its sitting of to-day the Assembly decided the fate of the petitions for and against the electoral law, the report oo which by the committee was presented by M. Loa Faucher.

The bulletin issued this morning states that he slept quietly the whole of last night, and that the fever is completely gone ; the swelling and paiofulness of the arm are also coneider ably lege. Notwithstanding this favourable condition his Majesty's advisers have recommended him to post pone the journey to Sans Souci (Potsdam) for a few days longer. The Emparors of Austria and Russia, and the Kings of Hanover and Saxony, have all sent extraordinary representatives charged with their con gratulations on his Majesty's narrow escape. The Prince of Prussia received, at Breslau, a depu tation from the town council and magistracy, headed by the mayor. In answer to the loyal expression of congratulations at his Majesty's recent escape, and indignation at the attempt, the Prince replied in the following fashion: Gentlemen, I can give you the joyf u l n ews t h a t hi s itspin is u well as he can be under such circumstance. ; such ere the °Patents of a telegraphic message which has been de.patelted eine* I left Berlin. It is unfortunate that Prussia'a King and people must undergo this diestraoe a second time. You will be made acquainted with matters which you must credit, but which are so tiler •dible, that without the strongest proofs of their truth, you will not be willing to believe. Thom proofs shall be forthcoming. I ant glad that such loyal feeling. ar e displayed by th e imb a bi• tante here ; but words an linger suffice ; your loyalty moat be displayed by deeds. It is Was for action, and we shall act. Public attention is now directed to the conferences atWarsew. According to the Troseissehe Zeitung the Prince of Prussia carries with him an autograph letter from the king to the Emperor of Russia, in which the former declares, in the most decided terms, that Prussia can serer consent to the restoration of the old Berman diet, and that the differences which prevented a better understanding between Prussia and Austria arise solely from the policy pursued by the letter. The differences with Denmark are said to be included in the objects of the prince's journey to Warsaw. The Prussian plenipotentiary to the Frankfort con gress has not yet arrived there, nor will he appear until the formal questions in dispute shall have been settled. Herr Mathis will enter the congress at Frankfort simultaneously with the plenipotentisri. s of fourteen other governments, members of the narrower union. Letters from Denmark confirm the previous state ments of preparations for war being made by the Danes: even the guards have left Copenhagen for Jutland. General von Krogh, who is said to be a very good officer, has been appointed oommander-in chief of the Danish army. The duchies are not idle. General Willisen, since his taking the command, hes been very active in promoting the discipline of his troops, and great efforts have been made to complete their equipment. Their number amounts to about 35,000 m e n; the Danish army is about 45 or 46,000 strong. MAY 31. The metropolitan and provincial journals fully con firm the information forwarded within this last day or two, of the preparations for war which the Prussian government are making. These preparations have, it appears, been progressing for some time in silence ; they have, however, now beeome public, and have even for.i,ed the subject of certain notes from foreign ambassors with which the Minister for Foreign Affairs has recently been troubled. The answer to all inquiries has been, that Prussia is arming to protect herself spinet any attacks that may be made on her by other countries. Orders have been issued for the immediate repair of all defects in the fortifications of Erfurt, and the placing of the forts and garrison on a war-footing. The garrison are at this moment actively employed in mounting the can non on the ramparts, repairing palisades, &e. Similar orders have been issued with respect to Neisse and one or two other timilar small fortresses. "It is also in contemplation," says the Corresponcletaz Buren-, " to encamp an army of 60,000 t 060,000 men between &fart end 'forgan, and another equally large on the Bohemian Silesian frontiers." The orders fur putting the guards on a war tooting were promulgated yes terday. Their strength will be as follows : • lit Bent. of Ft. fade , 3 battalions, at 1,000 men each 3,000 2nd Ditto ditto Emperor Alexander's Regiment ditto Emperor Francis's ditto Ist Battalion of Chateaus A Pied 2nd Di , to ditto let DlTiiil/11 of Pious. is or the Guard --- - Total 14.800 Adding 8 battalions of Ouards of al Landwehr ll.OOO Total of Infantry 22,800 CAVALItY. 1 Roit. of Dragoons, w.to four squadrons of 160 men, and 1 reserve squadron of 160 1 Reoct. of Danaher., do. do . 2 Rory. of Hussars, do. do 1,500 1 Itsgt. of Dallas of the Guard, do.

It is rumoured this afternoon that suveral soldiers have been arrested, both in Potsdam and here, in out.- sequin* of facts implicating them having come tar upon the examination of Sofologe. The steps dreidral on by the ministry with reaps ct to the press are the restoration of the old system of recrering the deposit of onution-usuney by the proprietors of all journals; the withdrawal of the government concession from all printers of insarrectionary or immoral publications; WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

INDIA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our despatches in anticipe.. . the Overland Mail from India. The dates are : hoc bay, May 1, and Calcutta, April 20. The f is the summary of the Bombay Ti,,,es: The approach of the monsoon now begins to be_ in on the usual days of mail despatch : on the pr sent occasion, the Ist has bee., substituted for :he 3rd; on the next and the following we Ethel'. bye the II th and the 25th instead of the 17th May a.l .-d of June; and thenceforth till Septemoer we sheet have only one Bombay despatch monthly. The past fortnight has been in a great measure tewsiess, the local press having been chiefly occupied by the ,1:,. suasion of the question of the most eligible lice 1.- s railway. Public opinion, both at home and here, s - to becoming round to the views of Colonel Gran:. the Poona line is the beet. So far from the 1. of Director having, as is averred, neglected t: • duty in the matter, so far back as 1812, before : public thought of railways here at all, they de . :rid the services of Mr. Vignolies, as commissioner, :o inquire into the railway capabilities and proepec:s of India. The supreme government have a: length passed an act enabling the managers of coin riiy schools to appren ice the children under their charge, and magistrates of police to bind those that fall into their hendo to ...urn trades and pro- fessions ; the latter clause has been introdu.ed by ill gestion from Bombay, where sch.ole of industry have long been in prepara:ion for the reception of the cle,‘- titute, and fur the instruction in the improved prac tice of the arts and handicrafts of all who care to re sort to them.
