4 office to undertake it. There should be some adequate . ' test of the fitness of candidates for the Magisterial chair before they were allowed to sit in it. He did not think stoney the very best qualification, end was if opinion that the simple fact of a man posse-sing 30131. m even 30,0001. a year, afforded no pledge of .bitcapabHity 'as a Justice or, silo Peace. The Right HA. Gentleman was not adopting the best mode of having public busi ness Fdsfotrned. He knew many men of a huared a year infinitely better able to perform the duties of a fiLigistiate than many foils who had ten or twenty thousand per annum—(A laugh). The lion. Member next proceeded to suggest the propriety of introducing a clause into the Bill to prevent Clergymen from be coming Jiistices of the Peace, except in cases where other individuals capable of performing the duties of the office could not be found. There were some coun ties in which there were few of the Justices who wale n't Clergymen; others, he admitted, where Clerical Magistrates were not so numerous, but he believed the number of those shires to be very small in which the clerical did not predominate, either in the Magis terial list or in regular attendance on the bench, over the lay Justices, who were generally outvoted by their more sacred brethren. He was opposed to Clergymen being appointed Magistrates on several grounds; but it might be sufficient to say their attention ought not to be diverted from the sacred duties of their office by secular employments. In saying this, he was aware he should be met, as upon former occasions, by the assettion that justice could not be administered in many places except Churchmen were allowed to per form the dn:ies of Magistrates. Them might, perhaps, be a few instances in which such would be the case, but he held those as the . exceptions to the general rule. ' What he maintained was this. Vim on no occasion, ex ' cept there existed ant absolute necessity for so doing, should the names of Clergymen be put on the BA of Magistrates. He disclaimed any intention to attack the characters of Clergyn.en; but he had always held the durics if the stations to be incompatible. He could have wished that the Right Honourable Secretary bad br oug ht forward a more effectual measure than tint up ' eared to be f r controrilling the jurisdiction of Ma gi times, aimed as they were with a terrible power, «loch had been increased in an immense degree during • the list thirty years. The exercise of such an authority required more caution; temper, and knowledge, than were u wally displayed by its possessors. He thought the Right Honourable Gentleman did not go far enough—that he had not adopted a proper plan to meet the exigencies and remedy the evils of the case, and secw e to the public a better and mere effectual .administratinn of justice on the part of persons intrusted with the office of Justice of the Peace. Mr. HOULDSWOR was of opinion that lawyers did not always make the best Magistrates, and dissented • from the opi..ion of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, as to the unfitness of Chrgymen to perform the duties of Justices of the Peace. With regard to summonses, the hearing a f a cave ought not to be confined to Magis trate, who had issued them, as appeared to be the in ation o f the Right lion. Secretary. What was to be done in the event of a Magistrate who had issued a gnomons for the hearing of a case being taken sud denly ill? Was the case (which might be of an urgent nature) to stabd over an that account ? Mr. PEEL said, the Hon. Member had entirely mis uniteiitood him. tie did not mean to say that any but tire 31.,ristiale •ho had summoned a party before bim • should be ditqualtfied to bear the case. What he in te.:ded to cinisey was, that a Magistrate should not be able to compel parties to attend, except he bad pre. • onsly heard a statement of the complaint making out the necessity of instituting an inquiry. Mr. BRIGHT, after complimenting the Right Hon. Sccietaiy on the manner in which lie had taken up the subject, suggested *lath. r it might not be better to refer the wh le law to a Committee to inquire and te• port therm , ' n. • In answer to a repetition of Mr. liotuartworru's abjection with regard to the issuing set sionnsonees, nude by Mr. Lorr,• Mr. PEEL said. his objection was, to prevent per. sons from.being compelled to appear before any Justice of the Peace till the Magistrate should have first beard the natu e tf the complaint; the Magistrate was to sa tisfy himself by hearing the charge whether it was ne cessaLy to institute any further inquiry. Mr. E. DAVENPORT thought it might be desir able, t any obligation were imposed by the Bill, making it necessary for ail persons, previously to their first act ing as Magistratehto attend a certain number of times, and on certain occasions, at the Sessions, in order to learn their duty. His object in making this proposition was, to prevent persons utterly ignorers , of the law and their tb,ties as Justices of the Peace, from filling the Magisterial chair. There could be no harm in adopt ing this proposal. It was of great importance that, by the Bill before the House, the duties of Magistra:ss should nir only be defined accurately, but detailed mi nutely, and strongly enforced ; especially as * great part of the hiagistegial authority was at prevent (there on:wry. Mr. GORDON ridicteed the idea of having a Board or Commission appointed to examine young Magis trate., as appeared to he contemplated by the Hon. Ms mber who spoke last in the plan which be had pro posed. With respect to the Clergy, great difficultiei must arise to many places—Dorsetshire for institute— it the clergy were excluded from the Magistracy. He referred to the Gentlemen of the county in question, who he was sure would bear him out in saying, that in consequence of the number of absentee proprietors, there would be the greatest difficulty in obtaining a fs ciew Magistrates bur for the clergy, who, he might add, were examples of industry and attention to the lay Magistrates. No one could be ao fit a judge as tit , Lord Lieutenant of each county, of the degree of ne cessity that existed for the appointment of clerical Ma gistrates. Mr. EDWARD DAVENPORT did not say it was necessary for candidnes for the Magistracy to undergo an examination before any Board or Commissino. What he said was, that they ought to attends certain number of timesnt the Sessions to limn their duty. Mr. BYNG asked the Right Hon. Sectetary the na ture of the property that was to &tee mime the qualifi cation and eligibility of persona for the office of Ma•l gistrates. Mr. Secretary PEEL replied, freehold, copybold, or custr.mary remit e. !Mr. JANCr could only say, with regard to the Clergy, he had never found 'bras anxious to put themselves tt•r ward to obtain the office. or act io the capacity of Magistrates. They generally did so to oblige their • ; pe,Khbours.. He bad no hesitation in espressiug his <Tullis's as to the propriety ut Clergymen being admit.. sible as Justices of Peace. Ms :firctetary PEEL submitted. that thequalification pi property was the best test that coulJ be invited under esi•ttag circumstances, with respect to hi react ales. He took the test as he fr and it estanlislied, and thought it might be difficult to find a better. The poser of ap Asurnsing Magutrirtes uor rested iotbe ; f ord Chancellor, and wet exercised on as fair a principle as possible. An Hon. Member atp peered toloppose that the Societal-I of l State aecommanded the appoustmeat.of Clergymen as Magistrates. This was a aiistakt. /He (Mr. Pal) hadi l never recommended may peisoo to ba appointed a Jut. .tire of the Peace. Indeed, belied cautiously abstained from any interference withlhe appointment of Magis trate% lest it should be supposed that it was desired to give a political bias to the Magistracy. On this account he threw all the responsibility of selection on the Lords Lieutenant of the respective counties, where it should rest, and, he might add, by whom the power bad been properly exercised. To give power to any Board of Commission to examine Magistrates, and deter mine upon their legal acquirements and fitness for the office of Justice of the Peace, was altogether out of the question. An individual arrived at the age of 21, and who pos sessed the necessary qualification as to property, could exercise legislative functions in Parliament without any previous examination. The idea of examining candi dates for the Magistracy was impracticable. With respect to an exclusive law affecting the Clergy, he believed that it would be attended with great public injury. In fact, he believed the Clergy did not aids to be included in the Magistracy, but he felt satisfied that during that portion of the year when many of the lay Magistrates were necessarily absent from the country upon duties which called them to the metropolis, great inconvenience must arise if there were not resident Clerical Jestices of the Peace upon the spot. He had no desire to have Clergymen appointed to the Magistracy, except where the public interests required it. It was impossible to lay down any precise rule on the subject which local circumstances might not render it necessary to vary. It was admitted that Clergymen performed their Magis terial duties with diligence and ability, and therefore be should be sorry to see them excluded by any general ru!e ; he might add, he should be equally sorry to see any rule as to their general admission or general exclu• siren adopted. With respect to Magistrates Clerical, or Lay, attending at Petty Sessions, he had taken pre cautions in the Bill against the attendance of Justices being directed so as to carry a particular object or over bear then. This was a provision in the Bill, the main I,bject of which was to regulate the administration and proceedings of Courts of Magistrates assembled in Petty Sessions and, with that view, be thought an open Court a much better security for the due administration of Justice than any other which it was possible to deem. Mr. HUME said it was highly desirable. at least, that no coo. vicdon Amid take place except by the sentence ,[two Magistrates, and in open Court. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped time would be afforded so as to allow an opportunity to remit, suggestions as to the clauses in the 8W front practical men. Leave was then given. and the 8W was introduced. read a lest, and ordered to be read a second time this day fortnight. Sir A.

It is now announced, "that the issue of the mission with which Count MATOINICCIVITZ was charged has been very satisfactory, the Emperor of Russia having con. seated that the negotiations for the final settlement of the Gieek question should be carried on by the repre sentatives of France and England, in ;he name of the three Powers. parties to the Treaty. The Amhassadors of these two States will therefore proceed fortwith to Constantinople." We believe that Mr. STRATFORD CANNING has al ready sailed from Naples, on his way to Constantinople, and we trust that amicable relations will be soon re stored between Great Britain and the Porte; but we have very strong reasons for believing that Russia views +►ith great jealousy the probability of such a result, and that the mission of Count Mumovacawrrs had a vety different object than that which is new assigned. Mr. Put. last night introduced his promised Bill for the regulation of the office and duties of Justices rif the Peace. Its principal object is to consolidate the laws relative to this branch of our municipal regulati.ms, and to raise the qualification for the office from the posses. skin of property of lOW. per annum to 3001. per annum. We are almost inclined to doubt the propriety of this latter regulation, because we are convinced that in some districts it will not be easy to find men possessing such an extent of qualification who are always resident on the spot, and willing to act as Magistrates. Many country Clergymen in particular, who, notwithstanding the observations made by Mo. Hums and other Honourable Members, we believe make the most useful Magistrates. do not possess Church Of other property to that amount ; and as the Lord Lieute nant of the County pu.sesses the power of making the selection of those 1 ers , .ns whom he thinks& to be put into the Commission of the Peace, we really do not see the utility of tyins up his hands , by euctius that in no cam shall kny person be allowed r so act as .Ilegisuate mania harnesses 3001. per annum. We n east this clause tithe Act may be occhisidered. as we knoll , that in le mote districts it wonla be the means of estingilishing the glee of local Mpaissrates, w h o now gently but most usefully exercise their functions in the neighbour hood in which they constantly reside. The Bishop of Wlscanran last n;ght in the House of Peers, avowed himself friendly to Catholic Emanci pation, declaring that although the religions opinions entertained by Catholics were dangerous, that was by no means the case with respect to their political opinions . This Prelate eau.t, is coming to such a conclusion, have overlooked the records of history, or, like other modern theorists, treats it as an old almanack. But it is convenient to shut one's eyes to facts, when the mind is enchained by previous penalises or engage ments. Nothing but the existence of such an engage main can account for the conduct of his Lordship of Wpm:turns. and most of the other recently conse crated Bishops. On the Right Reverend Bench there was heretofore but one Prelate who voted for Emanci pation, namely, the Bishop of Noxwica, who a, con stantly, as conscientiously, gave his vote on that side of the question. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazelle de France dated Tuesday morning, reached us last night, and we have given extracts from them in another column. Their contents, however. posse,ss hut little interest, excepting an article taken from the Augsburg Gazelle, which mentions that the Austrian lntet nuncio residing at Constantinople bad agreed with the Porte that vessels laden with corn, under the Austrian flag, might proceed from the Black Sea. to the Mediter ranean with two-thirds of their cargoes, and that the other third shall be landed at Constantinople for th e supply of that capital, and shill be paid for at fixed prices in ready money. It is added that the Porte has promised to grant the free navigation of the Black Sea to ships of all nations on these conditions.
