CHRIST3LAS DAT.-DETHLEILEAL The Church in this sacred spot is of considerable magni tude, and unrivalled in point of beauty and magnificence. The roof is constructed of the cedar of Lebanon, and nobly supported by rows of lofty columns of marble, and the in terior of the walls, incrusted with marble ; the choir termi nates in a semicircle, in which the principal altar Is placed, and the whole is covered with a cupola. The Chapel of the Nativity is under ground, to which I was conducted by a small staircase, where the solemn still ness, added to the contemplation of that momentous event which occurred on this relered part of the earth, are well calculated to strike the mind with the deepest awe and vene ration. Massy silver lamps, the gifts of Catholic mo narchs, are kept burning day and night, and the exact place where the Redeemer of our World endured the penalties of human guilt is marked with a star formed of white marble, inlaid with jasper, and surrounded by a radiance or glory, over which the planet stood which led the Magi to the hum ble village of Bethlehem. There is encircled in the Latin language, " Here Jesus :Cnntier was born of the Virgin MARY." To the right is shown where the manger stood where he was laid, which appears to be cut out of the natural rock, and is lined with marble. Before it also lamps of silver are always kept in an illuminated state. Adhering to a practice observed by pilgrims, I saluted on my knees the star, although no kind of ceremony was requisite to enhance that sublime sense entertained at this particular moment of those eternal obligations; which, in common with the whole race of mankind, I was under to that glorious BEING who here began his career of suffering, humiliation, submission, and obedience, which terminated at that awful moment when, stretched on the accursed tree, a spectacle of woe, and pouring out his precioue blood to satisfy Divine Justice, be prayed for his murderers, and meekly said, " It is finished," waived his head, and gave up the ghost I—Rae Wilson's Travels in Judea. LORD WYNFOILD'I BILL. The following is an outline of Lord Wynford's Bill (introduced on the 21st instant), To Prevent Debtors trout Defrauding their Creditors by lying in Prison, or absconding from England.* The preamble sets forth (an amusing union.), that " Whereas many =editors are suffering great distress from being kept out of what is justly due to them, whilst their debtors are living idly and luxuriously, In prison or out of the kingd om , on property which should be applied in payment of their d e bt s : Be it enacted, is t introducing peon. .sios to extend the powers of the3tid the. 11, chap. 28, which aut hor ise any Court to compel debtors charged in execution to give an account of and consign their effects to their creditors, sad which entitle certain debtors who give up their effects to their discharge ; the said Act sub jects debtors to punishment who refuse to assign their estate and effects, or make a fraudulent assignment, or give on oath a false Kamm of their property. The first clause provides, " That before any judgment of outlawry, in any civil action in a bleb a defendant might have been held to ball, shall be reversed by writ of error, plea, et billerwlses, on mown of say defendant's being beyond seas at the time when the action against him or her shall have been brought, or at any time before the outlawry shall have been completed, the d e f en d an t o r defendants in such action shall put in a perfect bail, not 'only to answer the plaintiffs, plaintiffs In such action, but also to be answerable for the debt wags* tbar may be re. ;covered in such action, and also the costs of premedistg to outlaw, which last mentioned costs shall abide the event of die snit; provid ed always, that nothhtg in this sent ost of this act mutalaid shall apply to ML persons who ere bey's/Alta of , la- the'servies his , his heirs .and surcease's, or to any penes who shall have gun s peas on ' account of his or her heath, or for Wmea ai, and who establish hie or her tame of absence to the 'addiction of the Court fn which the skies shall lib itroanht, and who shall not have been beyond seas abets than enryear Mal the commenosamat tithe NOM hrtibteh each outlawry shall have bees pronosaced." •The second clause provides, " that upon judgusint of outlawry or waver in action, the Judge tuay order the tenant of the person outlawed Pte pay rent of lands, &c. into Court, and may order the appleathm . sr the same to the payment of the debts of such person." The Act Is not to extend to Scoilsod. ' • •.'-' .." .-....• .._ ~_ • I i;) o_ . .i l. • ! II i \ r rAor 4 .414 2 , 0 i . 0 00.e.Azt m ax .•• .., .- -- • - PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS AFTER THE R1.CP.6.-. The order-book of the HonSe of Commons already pre sents fearful notes of preparation for business at 0;1: conclu sion of the present adjournment. In the first place there are 32 election co - nail:tees t b:! ballotted for. The ballots will take place on Tuesdays ;.nd Thursdays ; two or three ballots on each of those days, and 'occupying till March 22. They precede all other business, and will seldom be concluded till five o'clock ; but if the re quisitely large number of members should not be in :mood ance More four &clod:, so that ballots may 1)a contmenced, the house must adjourn till the committees a;c obtained. Even if there he the required number of members roJen• , neither private nor public business can be commove:l till tle• ballots are over ; so that for two out of the four busitto.ut-day.. in the week, for the first seven weeks after the re-retsentblin;-: of Parliament, business will seldom commence till live, in stead of three o'clock in the afternoon. Amongst the election petitions, there is orn from Win - chelsea, against John Williams, F.sq. and the lion. llenry Dundas, the sitting members ; one from Clare (coenty,) against James Patrick O'Gorman Mahon; one from Sea ford, against the Hon.

As to the business before the house, there are already ap pointed for specified days, between the 3d of February end the 22d of March, 56 orders of the day, and 2S notice.; o: motions ; it may be necessary to add that those 81 orders and notices are all upon separate and public questions Bcsides these, there are'39 - iraffFefiTinotions, (almost all of them on great, important, and public qii...4;ons), to be brought forward " after Christmas," but for which no par ticular days have been named ; and seven si'lic'a of motions for " after the recess," making together, 56 oiders of the day, and 74 notices of motions, already upon the Cummona Order Book! Two of the notices at all event- must ba given again ; one because it was given for the t 1.7 th of Feb. 1831, " but that day falls on a Sunday," say the orders, and the other for a day that is not to be foetid in the whole year—namely, the 29th of February; " hut there aro only 28 days in February, 1831," record the aforementioned or ders. Whether an appropriate day was fixed for the latter notice, it may not be requisite to ask ; bat the notice is Mr. Slaney's, to propose the appointment of a select committee " to consider the necessity of securing open spaces in the immediate vicinity of large and populous towns, fitted to preserve health, and afford means of exercise to the work ing classes." As to the number of notices and orders already fixed, making together 130, calculating that one may occupy au evening (excepting of course the ballots), and several of them will, in their various stages, be brought forward on many different evenings ; and calculating that there may be even 120 working days, which down to the end of July there will not be, excluding Wednesdays and the Easter and Whitsuntide recesses, there is already fixed a tolera bly good quantity of business for the Commons on their re assembling, without any new bills being named, any mea sures brought from the Lords, and without any new no tices being given : and there are no notices in this list re specting the Government-measures regarding the ci% il list, reform, budget, ways and means, dtc; &c.—motions and measures that engage some few tolerably good long evenings, and about 200 private bills bear no part in the above calcu lations, nor the presentations of petitions, and discussious thereupon. KING'S PLATES. As reporters of Field Sports, and more especially the tran actions relative to the Turf, we venture to call upon Iced Lowther to inter. cede with the present Stewards of the Jockey Club to interns them. selves in the alteration of the King's Plates, with regal(' t three-year olds to run. We should not have presumed to addre.a Lord Lowther on the subject, but that he has already Lased a mo ntnient to his memory In the improvements he has effected in the Race Course and Exercising Ground at Newmarket, which are the wonder and admires. tion of all who have seen them. King's Plates were given to encourage the breed of the racehorse. and produce sport ; therefore, the greater number of homes that can be entered, the more likely is the object to be attained. The reason why three-year-olds were not generally allowed to start was, that the pro prieton of hones did not train their young stock until three year, old, and they were not thought of. They now begin at fifteen months, and dues parts of the horses in our days lose all their speed before they are four years old. In the year 1791, Baronet won the Ascot Oatlanda. LVVe have chosen this date, to support our argument, as some of our readers may have seen the race, and also have a perfect recollection of the number of old honed then in training, and their decrease at this time.] Forty-one horses were entered, 19 started, and only one threL. year-old (Vermin), who was the favourite. This present year, 11 bosses were entered for the Ascot Oatlands, and 6 started. In 1791, there were but 32 subscribers to the Derby ; this year, there were 99. In the Newmarket October Meetings of the year 1791, there were two Sweepstakes for two-year-olds, which did not produce a race ; a Fifty Pound Plate for two-year-olds, ten started. In the October Meetings of this year, at Newmarket, the following Stakes for ewe. year-olds were run for. Anson, 6 :subscribers Clearweil, 30 sub. scribers ; Prendergast, 30 subscribers; Criterion, 28 subscribers; and 18 started for a two-year-old Plate. The hones that have been beaten in theme Stakes are of but little value to the ownera, as 04e only chance they have Is to keep them until the spring, at which time they ore three years old, to meet the same horses again. Numbers ate given up, and sold—in fact, beaten two year olds are to be purchased on very moderate terms after the October Meetings. In the year 1791, in the October Meetings, 168 horses ran ; out of these, there were only 18 ,two year olds. At **present time, there are 450 horns in training at Newmarket, and not mon than 40 of them have yet attained the age of four years; and these henna, generally speaking, are considered supe. rior, and the (*nets will not run them for King's Plates—the weights being high, and the distances great, requiring a very strong prepara tion ; and, if they should have a severe race, it deteriorates their speed, and renders them useless for short rates, or matching, for a consider able length of time. Instead of making the ages of horses to com mence on the Ist of May, let it be the Thursday in the First Spring Meeting. On that day, the first King's Plate is ran for, three year olds carryingw hich and increasing one pound for every month up to October, at which time they would be carrying B.t. 13111. IModtrate three-year olds would start for King's Plates throughout the country, which are now of little or no utility to the owners, except to run with horses who have already beaten them. Numbers are turned out of training because their proprietors have not the means of ascer taining if they can go a distance. Were they permiued to run for King's Plates, and found capable of staying the distance, they would be kept on another year; we should by this mesas have a greater number of four-year-olds, and, instead of a solitary two, and a walk over, for a King's Plate, there would be a field of from eight to ten honesun. stonily starting for this description of money. We think we have clearly shown the increase of three-year-olds and the decrease of four. year-olds and upwards in the comparison of the years 1791 and 1830, which strongly calls for the subject to be taken into the consideration of these persons who have the management of these things, and 'we feel confident that, had it beei broached, it would ere this have been at. tended to. We lope that these observations will not escape the eye Of the Muter of the Horse, as he is possessed of most supesier *pullet, and is also placed In a situation which, should he express an opines favourable to the alteration, be could do much towards having the ar rangement speedily adopted. OAKLY HUNT.-Mr. Berkeley's hounds have of late afforded most brilliant sport. On the 4th of this month they unken. nelled a gallant fox at Hienholion, and after running ever a vast latent of country, by Apien, Staughten, Eaton, and Colnworth, they ran into their .for ln most gallant style, in the open country, after upwards of :two hours herd running. • On Tuesday the lfith their speed and hottest was again put to the test by o p i n , t n fox from Weston Wood, whieb, after making the Weult of Mem and Hanger without entering the corers, returned to the vow& handrrolog from thence, boldly faced the fine counfty in tbodifection of Woburn, and passing ton, Morbid,' eistklaitertire Park, ant crossing the London. road near jiiythiladsoosenegilt relagtile the INN. ardeuthill, and-ovontnady r. aped by the peataees of* fteih fox, after two hones and ten minutes a the severest chase that has been known for tinny years.—ftortkamp. ton Mercury.
