Of this number 114,544 are for the use of the peer. The assistance gins by the Society has all but exhausted its Seances; and yet, such is th4lacreased sad kerns* population of the menet, that Church. room to a mock greater extent is still required. Appliesdeas are even mere numerous mew than they were at any former period ; but unless the Public, whose aid is earnestly entreated, and an whom the Society depeods (for it is supported entirely by voluntary 'contributiou* shall supply the means, assistance can be no longer ' afforded. The Patliameetary Greats are specifically appropriated to the building of addidasal Churches, and in places where the population eXceeds 4000 perms, they cannot be applied to Improve, enlarges or rebuild. These are the great objects of this Society, sad these objects have been promoted with no inconsiderable suc cess during the seven years of its existence. It hat opened the doors of the Established Church to thousands who were before em. chided front joining in its worship. Will not, then, the friends of . that Church come forward and enable the Society to modem its useful exertions? His Majesty has been gritiously pleased tonsil's a donation of 30031. and the Committee cannot bat indulge the hope that the example of the Sovereign will be followed by Ms subjects in every rank of life, for every pound that is suliscribed will be the means of furnishing an additional sitting. They can appeal to the gond which has been already done in various plants, by supplying the spiritual wants of the mulattos.

HOUSE oy. LORDS. JUNE 5. At half-past thee o'clotk, the great central doors (through. which the Commons are admitted) *ere opened. The Duke of Noarout, as Heieditary Earl Marshal bf England, appeared, fol lowed by Clarencieux King at Aron; then came the Marquises., of Towson° and ATLILSIORT ' suppotting the Marquis of Ilanisce, all In their Lobes. The Patent baying been communicated to the Loan CISAICELLOIL, the Noble Marquis walked with his supporters to the Woolsack, and after the usual oaths had been administered to him, stook hands with the Noble and Learned Earl, and took his seat as Marquis of Hastings. Earl DERBY presented a Petition from Ashton.under-Live, in favour of the Bill for regulating the working hours of Cottou-spin ners.—Laid on the table. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a Petkion from J. Wil liams, of Liverpool, praying for compensation in case the Coeur Courts 11111 should pass.—Laid on the table. Lord KIWYON presented a similar Petition from; an individual in the County of Middlesex.—Laid on the table. Earl KINGSTON presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Town of Youglial, in favour of the Irish Joint Stock Company BlL—Laid on the table. Mr. Gamitau, from the Privy Council, presented a Copy of the Order in Council, empowering the Judges of the Supreme Court of Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales, to make regulations for their Courts.—Laid on the table. Mr. Mason, from the East India Company, presented the Monthly List of Salaries, Pensions, and Allowances granted by that Company.—Laid on the table. The Earl of LIVERPOOL laid on the table in a printed shape, the first Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of Education in Ireland. The .same Noble Earl said, that having presented. some dap since, a Petition front the Merchants of London, praying for a re vision and alteration of the Law of Agent and Factor, he had since prepared a Bill, which he now proposed to their Lordships. The Bin was then malls first time, ordered to be printed, and the se cond reading fixed for Tuesday next. The LOUP CHANCELLOR moved that the Jurips and Jurors Regulation Bill be printed, and that be should take as early opportunity of fixing a day for its second reading. The Bishop of CHESTER entered into an explanation of some Inaccuracies which he had inadvertently lOW in his speech upon the Catholic question. UNITARIANS . MARRIAGE SILL. The Order of the Day having been read, The Marquis of LANSDOWN stated that the Bill which helad introduced last year, to relieve the Uni tarians from the necessity of being married according to the forms of the Church of England, had now reached them from the Commons, where it had not encountered one single division in its progress, whilst their Lord ships had thrown it out once already on its second read ing. It had now been framed with the advice and under the direction of mmy representatives of the Church of England, who had given their assistance, much to their honour. It was therefore calculated to accomplish its object in the most" satisfactory manner. Prom the/ mode in which the application of the Unitarians bid been treated, it would appear that the means of marriage were a boon granted by the Legislature. In all coun tries, and under all governments on the contrary, the means of marriage were rendered as easy as possible to all.--If there were any obstacle to any particular class of men not essential for the welfare of this easfre, it would be therefore oss the part of their Lordships not an act of favour, but one of justice, to remove it. The question had two bearings—one civil and the other re ligious. The Unitarians wanted no interference with the civil authority, but Would even cheerfully submit to any civil regulations which might be imposed upon them. It was to the lelieious obligation alone that they objected, as it compelled them to do that which could not be done without violating their conscience. The present Bill was similar to the last, with this exception, tharthe former left the registering fUnitarian marl-rages in the bands of the Established Church, and the present ordered it to be carried on by the Ministers of the dif ferent Congregations to which the parties belonged. Ile knew I that sense maid say," Why should the Unitarians be so scrums. I loser but this would be chiefly, if not only, sadly those who bad practised with their own conscience so far as to compromise ell matters very easily. He was anxious that the Legislature should teach the form of words, and that men should enter the temple of -. • - - 'Nab q , M 1 ON AITISCICWCOU ...Swims Rev. J.

He believed the scruples enter tained by the Unitarians to be sincere, and there'ore entitled to great consideration. But the point on which be felt meat aosiety, was the removal of that enballowed equivocal. dm with was now consmitted at the akar under the direction of the law. With these views of the subject, be should vote he the mend reading, reserving to hinseelf. bewever, the right ergs.: Vein and discuseing classes in the Committee. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS objected to the principle of the measure, and did not see how the pre amble to the Bill could be proved. He contended that, all an Unitari an was called upon to do, was to sign lasi own name to what were the parties who had bees married. The words " I thee wed, in the name of the Falser, the Son, aid the Holy Ghost," were exactly the same as those used by the Unitarians in the cere mony of baptism. Why, then, should they object to their introduction into a d fermi part ? It had been said that prevarication and equivocation at the altar Were the tesult of the law as it now stood. If so, he should hold it'in as great abhorrence as any other nran, but he contended that there was no deception. Both parties knew the sentiments of each other when they came to the altar, whereas prevarication consis•ed in saying words apd giving them another senses He repelled that charge with indignation. He trusted the Church would hoc be edged upon to resign a right which she had so long possessed. Be sides, lithe concession were made to the Unitarians, how could it 'be in justice refused to every other sectarian? The Unitarians had no right to be looked upon as a favoured sect. Su:h an impression might tend to spread their opinions, which undermined the founds dons of Christianity. l)n all those grounds he should move that the Bill be read this day three months. The Bishop of untiI:JELL) expressed his abhor- 1 rence of the religious doctrines of the Unitarians, which were not only destit.ite of foundation, but were sup ported by gross perversions and mutilations of the Holy Scriptures. But as their religious opinions did not affect th it conduct, be was willing to concede the relict for which they applied. He also thought that the high character of the Established Church meld be best sup ported by delivering her from the scandal and prehmation of the compromise made at the altar. Although an advocate for full tole. radon, he was not an advocate for giving encouragement to dissent. He did not think the present measure calculated to give such en couragement, and should therefore vote in favour of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to be told what Noble Llrds meant by the word Unitarian? If they meant persons who deny the divinity of our wove, they must enact first that it was lawful •so to' do. For by an Act of King William, such a denial was made a detestable crime," and liable to condign pu nishment. It was true that the Statute Laws inlicting penalties for religious aberrations had been repealed - ,, but the Common Law remained in force. Before Bills were passed to relieve Unitarians, let the profession of Unitarianism be permitted, if that was considered a fit permission to give. The Noble and Learned Earl then shewed how the Jews and Quakers had been exempted from the operation of the late Marriage Act. If such a privilege as that claimicti by the Unitarians, who had nothing of Christianity in their doctrines were granted to them, haw could it be possibly denied to the Roman (*hulks and other Dissenters, who held the common prindpiker Christianity ? He feared that the laxity of the Chur ch of Engles* respecting its doctrines, was working a species of revolution in chid country leading to dissent. Let their Lordships repeal the Common . Lair if they thought proper, at let them ant give their satiable by a side wind, to a doctrine which asserted that the doctrine tit the Church of England was lilaiettolling. - The Earl of LIVERPOOL differed (mat hii Noble and Learned Friend. The House would infer, &on' the state of his voice, that he was not able to say much, but he entertained too strong an opinion on the subject to remain silent. He contended, that though the Coal man Law was still in force, yet the general practice was to be considered as the chief guide for promeding. The legality of the marriages of the Jews was recog nized, and was there anything , more hostile to Chris tianity in the Unitarians than in the Jews ? Did not the Jews blaspheme Him whom we adored ? Nay, had they not crucified Hiu whom we adored? Did they not live amongst us as a distinct nation? and yet their marriages were valid I He did not disapprov e of this. If their numbers were sufficient in this eropolis, should say the same of the Mahomedans, or of the pro. fessors of any other religion. He saw no reason why' their rig hts should not be as sacred as those a others. It was known that the marriages of persons going to France or Scotland, and married according to the rites of the Catholic or Presbyterian Churches, were considered pen featly valid, as if they had bees married bete. He believed *At it was generally acknowledged that in any country where marries could net be had by a Minister, if it were oontracted before a civil person, it was equally valid, because the greatest facilities should be given to the fulfilment of se important a duty. A Jew, a Quaker, or an Unitarian, could not be married in our Churches without combating himself in a way to east a slur on the service. Did not the Public Papers teem with accounts, skewing that the esednet of an Unitarian at the altar of the Established Chunk was as of the meet digesting things which it was possible to see? A great scandal would be rethaved if this Bill were passed, for the relief both of the Unitarians and the Mirth. The Bishop of CHESTER considered the Unitarians entitled to claim relief, and to have no doubt of their sincerity entertained; but be thought that they had 'been pressed to do it, more throi the writings and vituperations of small sects of persons calling themselves " Free-thinking Christians," (from whose publications the Reverend Prelate read some passages) - than from their own sense of the alleged grievance. As they had been patient so long, there email be se great hardship in their wattles one Seeds, lager. lie was willing to pet shwa en she halm' of all Dlesentera balm the. Marriage Act was ha was compdlefito witibeldbit mean boa die present passed, cause a view of fig ran tbnegb the wings of it. Lord REDESDALE opposed the 818. Lord CALTHORPE supported the Bill. He looked upon it as a measure calculated to benefit the Church in a far greater degree thank the Unitarians. It wits not a fair argument to say that the Unitarians were not worse elf than other Dissenters; for' the marriage ceremony was no hardship to any but those whose religious scru;. ples would not allow them to admit the doctrine of the Trinity. The Established Church could not better con sult her interests than by conforming to the enlightened principles of the age. The sentiment of toleration was priscipleset the age. The Marquis of LANSDOWN denied that the Pree.thinking Christians bad any hand in the production of the present measure. • After a few words in explanation from the Bishop of Cuestas, Abe Hesse divided...44r the Second Reading.

BROG DEN entertained a favoomble opinion of the mea sure upon public grounds, and although it was true that his name • had been added to the list by mistake, he believed it to be hove file one. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE complained of the time chosen by the Noble Lord for this opposition to the measure, sod hoped he would not press his abjection to the bringing up of the Report. Sir J. YORK B expressed an unfavourable opinion of the measure: . Mr. DICKENSON said, that any undertaking could be sop ported if such lists were considered as a compliance with the Standing Order. Sir T.

Lord FOLKSTON E explained, that be did not intend to appeal the bringing up of the Report. • Mr. W. %V 'LILA 1115 maintained that the list was a false one, and that the measure ought uot to receive the sanction of the Hesse. After some further explanation from the Smelt% and a few words from Mr. Gossio.v, the Report was brought up and ordered to lie on the table.

The object of the Committee was to WS due effect to the Resoludems4l bin Session. LONDON UNIVERSITY. Ni. BROUGHAM said, that having received an intimation from an authority to which be was alays ready to bow, that the Bill for establishing an Univer sity in London was rather of a private than a public nature, he should therefore move to discharge the order for the second reading on Monday next, and Should be ready to present a Petition for taking it up in the shape of a Private Bill, on Tuesday. To otitiate a great d ea l o f m i s representation which had got abroad'o be would take this opportunity of stating, that the ob ject of the Bill was to incorporate certain persons, in prder to enable them to sue and be sued by one of their Officers, and to hold lands to a certain limited amount ; but it was not the intention to apply for any exclusive privileges whatever, neither would it in any shape in= terfere with the privileges of either University, He spoke from the highest authority, when he stated that the expenses of the Universities were increasing to a great extent ; and as it was felt to be an evil, great pains were taking to remedy it. Great improvements bad certainly taken place at both Universities, and a better education might now be had at-both places than used to be had at either. The object, then, of this Bill • was, to bring home to the middling class of persons' the means of-education. The expenses of attending three classes in the proposed Establishment would not exceed 10i. a year. It was intended to have the best Professors, who were not to be allowed to take scho lars, or that they would mainly rely (as the salaries yauld be small) on the number of pupils attending their classes.
