THE Tot*ll or THE PRINCE or WALE.—The Prince is beginning public life early in representing the queen on this occasion. He is only in his nineteenth year ; and on his return from America he is to resume his studies at Oxford, and afterwards at Cambridge. Will not the coolness of his youthful head be rather severely tried by the incense of loyalty—that incense whose overpowering fumes gives kings only too much right to he deer Lute of common sense! He must remember that the sovereign whom lie represents is the principal object of the enthusiasm which will attend his progress, and that so far as he is him- self its object, it is the expression of affectionate expectations which it must be the aim of his life ass man and a sovereign to fulfil. It is, perhaps, not a hail thing, re fares his future academical career is concerned, that he should at °Dee put his education to some use. and learn that his studies are, or ought to be, not a mere lavish task, but areal prepuration for the world. Public action la proleibly the best antidote to those corrupting coil ilegrailiug influences which beset the youth of princes. It is indolence, joined to passion and opportunity, that has too often made the history of an heir apparent one of family misery and personal disgrace. It is hard enough for one to whom the highest honour and boundless wealth come without effort, who can never feel the bracing effects of struggling with early difficulties, or the salutary influences of roped friendship, to he on a level in all points of character with other men ; but his best chance is an early familiarity with the real duties and responsibilities of his high place in life. The prince must see how it fares in the present age with Royalty unsupported by personal merit. He may ob serve that the "Cal:elide" of Voltaire's story might again sup with six throneless kiwa. He must perceive that of him, ton, an effort will be required, if lie is to transmit, as he will receive, a secure and honoured throne. We augur well of his expedition. H e goes un d er the auspices of a Colonial Minister deservedly in the coloniesconsistent as the friend of a liberal M4Liger neroino system of administration. His own demeanour, if it is in Canada what it is in England, will certainly lose no hearts. May his voyage be prosperous, his mission sue eensful, ar i l 'his return safe and happy !

I MPES NG SHAM FIGHT.—Next to the volunteer review (says the 31 , tirlatorte Juernall, we suppose the fortlivoming sham eight at Chislehurst with the Metro. pont:in and Kentish corps will be the topic for general conversation during the nest fortnigh t, and for some tim e after. No better spot near London could have been se lected for so important an event as this romantic and de lightful neighbourhood. The park kindly lent by Strode, Esq., is situated near to the Chislehurst-common, and is well wooded—the hill and dale forming admirable oppor tuity for ambush and skirmishing. On Friday last the ground was inspected liy Lord Hanclagh, Lord Red stock, and several other noblemen and gentlemen, who were 4111.10111TOUS in approving the advantages of the situation. lie. It may not be generally known that '.kinden Hous • and Part takes its name from the celebrated historisa, Camden, and was also at one time the residence id Prince Literlazy. There will be excellent opportunities for visitors to view the fight from the high grounds in the neighlsiurhool. Acconling to rumour, the Kentieh division have arrange! to tai defeated, which we think is very hon ourable on the part of so highly distinguished troops. We sincerely trust that no gentleman of the corps will forget his ramrod in the chargui.:, and let go at the antagonistic captain -we have heard of such things before now.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE postponed until Mae day next his motion relative to that portion of Savoy, the neutrality of which had been guaranteed by the great rowers. DISTURBANCES AT ST. GEORGES-IN-THE - HAM Viscount DUNGANNON, in rising to call attentioe be the recent riots in the pariah church of St, George's - hi - the East, more especially to those which had occurred on dr 17th and 24th June, and to ask whether any and what seer sures were being taken by her Majesty's government her their suppression, expressed his fear that, after the very un satisfactory reply which had been given on a previous even lag in another place to &question similar to his, he eboold not get any satisfactory information from the noble earl who represented her Majesty's government in that house. He believed that if the advice of the Bishop of Loodoa bad been taken by Mr. King he would have put an end to these unfortunate disputes. But as Mr. King would not give his bishop the power to act he could not do anything in the matter. He therefore asked the govern ment whether this state of things was to be continued, and not to be checked. It should be remembered that the days ',would soon be getting shorter, and darker nights would come on, and he felt certain that these serious arrays would lead to loss of life, and then, perhaps, the govern ment would do something to put an end to these able proceedings. He would appeal to the government to interfere in this matter, and stop these riots which ovelinod week after week, and which seemed to be getting worse irs stead of better. (Hear.) The Bishop of LONDON .id he wished to state to the noble lord and to the government that this question ought not to be trifled with any longer—(hear, hear)—because every day it would become more and more important. He could not agree with the noble lord that every succeeding Sunday wag worse than the former, for from the information which he weekly received upon the subject., he believed that the proceed ings within the church were better, or at least not so very bad as they wore before they had become the subject of d r acundon. But that might be owing to the presence of the police in the neighbourhood. He would frankly state that he had received information that if it were not for the presence of the police in the church, the riots would he as bad as ever they were. Now, what he wished to call attention to was this, that so long as this house was sitting there would be some check upon those proceedings, but these was rapidly approaching the time of year when that house would not be sitting, and probably the noble sad the President of the Council would consider whether it would be possible to go on until February nest without large body of police being kept within the church during divine service. It was gainful for him to speak of any church in his diocese in such terms. There must be great blame somewhere when a clergyman required so large a body of police for the purpose of keeping order in his church. A. bill was being pawed through the legislature, and when it had become law it would provide against persons disturbing congregations and the clergymen —in short, if persons were guilty of br awling in church they would be liable to be taken before the nearest justice of the peace and be committed to prison. He hoped it would be no long time before the bill was in force. It had been questioned whether the churchwardens had done their duty or not, and he believed they had, though perhaps unwillingly ; but he wished to point out that it was quite impossible for two churchwardens aided by four aldermen to restrain a mob of 4,000 people. The police were in fact indis re pensable at resent to aid in the services of this church. (Hear, hear.) He wished to point out that some legislation was necessary to punish the persons who were the cause at these riots. The law of the' church of England as it war at present administered left every clergyman to settle foe himself which of certain services, within certain limits, he would use within the church. There was no check upon the clergy as te that part of their responsibility. The parishioners had no power over the in cumbent, and all they could do was to leave their monk church and go elsewhere. But he was glad to say there were very few clergymen who were so utterly deed to all good feeling as to persist in maintaining the use of services, the result of which would be to compel their parishioner' to leave their parish church, but the good sense . end good feeling of the great majority of the clergy prevented them from trifling with these persons whose souls were com mitted to their charge. (Hear, hear.) This matter re quited to be looked into, and he had caused an inquiry to be made as to whether clergymen could fit np their churches as they thought proper. It was not often that clergymen desired to do so ; but if they did, he would just observe that he bad come to the conclusion that they had no such power as some of them imagined ; and he had sent round a circular letter internee(' his clergy that he should require them thenceforward to make no changes whatever in fitting up their churches with out first obtaining a faculty from the Bishop's Court. (Hear, bear.) He had proposed a scheme some four month' ago for the purpose of giving the bishops a larger power, but the government had not thought fit to carry it into law; and at present a clergyman could set at nought the power and authority of the bishop. He did not think George's-in-the-East was altogether au isolated ewe. There were other cases in different parts of the country ; and be thought there ought to be some check upon the power of individuals who would persist in outraging the feelings of the people. He should be glad to know whether the government would take steps under the new statute, for in case persons so miscoodneted themselves they ought to be punished. He would also a* the government to consider whether some plan should not be devised by which the root of these evils might be touched ; and whether the persons should not he punished who caused these riots by trifling with the feelings of the people! l r e (Hear bear. GRANI..LB was understood to ray that in reference to this painful subject the observations of the noble lord opposite was not quite accurate, for nothing had taken plias which amounted to a breach of the peace, though there had been serious interruptions to the perform ance of divine serene. . . . . Lord DUNOANNON said he referred to what took place outaide the church. &A GRANVILLE then read the reports' of the polies which had been sent to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and which reports showed that the resorts the newspapers were not correct. Every Sunday for some time past there bad been inside and outside the church seventy-three policemen—a force larger by far than ever employed in one place except in cases of danger from the assembling together of great numbers of persons. bo far as putting the law as it stood into action, he did not think the government could take any f urther steps in the matter. He did not wish to say anything which might appear to sanction these disturbances, but it certainly was a matter for comment that a clergyman should respire the assistance of 73 policemen to protect him in his panels church. He thought the bishop of the diocese should have been vested with power to put a stop to these disturbances, but under any circumstances all must repro bate the proceedings of the mob. As to the power of the right rev. prelates to deal with these individual clergymen, he could only say that the government had considered the scheme laid before them, and although it might have led to some advantages, yet, on the other hand, there would be great diiadvantagee. Upon the whole, the scheme would not obtain the end in view. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said this was really a matter which was becoming more serious every week, and he did not think that the government bad paid veryowit attention to the subject. It was said these were Isolated eases, bet whether that were so or not, it was a gross viola tion of the law, mid it was monstrous that the law should give greater protection against a riot in the house of a pri vate individual than it afforded against the desecration of the hone of God. (Hear, hear.) He believed there was a want of power in the bishopsto control their clergy. The parochial system was much praised as being the best pos sible, but every parish was a little state, subject only to the suzerainty of the bishop, end it was like the suzerainty of the sultan over the provinces of Turkey, they were independent states. (Hear, hear.) He thought the hest way to act with St. George's-iuthe-East would be to close the church. It would not do to go on trifling with the matter lon:mr, because the riots there affected all the other churches in the neighbourhood. The LORD CHANCELLOR mid it appeared to be sup.. by a number of persons that the government or the io ()amen had power to make an order to shut up e church, but neither the Queen in council nor thegovers recut had any authority to do that. The bishop et the diocese was the only authority who could make such an order, and he could not do it without the consent of the incumbent. There must bo a change in th e law before such a power as that supposed to be in the government could be exercised. (Hear, bear.) After a few words in explanation irons Lord Domaine); the subject dropped. The Caledonian and Crinan Canals passed through committee. BIBLE EDUCATION IN THZ GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS OP INDIA. Earl GRAN - vriii.:idb,fineiieri g ht reverend pre late (the Bishop of Oxford), who bad a notice On the peper to present petitions in reference to this subject, did so, he wished to state that the matter had been carefully considered by the government and by many of their lordships on a former evening, and there was then a general feeling in the house that it would not be prWent that the subject should be debated at present. He would therefor* ask the right reverend prelate not to do more than present the petitions, ns it was not destrahte that there should be a discussion of this matter in the house. (Hear.)
