We do not cal this apef; ler. the whole thing, from first to last, is, in fact, our otos Our. The third reading of the new Cern Bill we should sot notice; for it is likely to be of no more conseyncitse this would be a bill to settle a division of guise's. that might be found in the streets of London; but we do just notice the subject, in order to take *teeth:a l to address a prayer on the subject, not to Parliament. but tio Mr. Jos,, COBISTION CORWIN. who, for about the hoodredth time, said. t h at be " was the last mon " tomato a direct attack en funded property, yet, be -* hoped, that, la cutler year, Parliament would se.

Now, our prayer is, 0, geed Cue:setae Ccowur, we bse seeeb thee to tell us, Amy the Pullen:eat is to do this ; Awe it is to perform this miracle ! We beseech thee to tell ms how it is to make the faudholders pay poor rates in any other way than they now pay them t. namely, is the prise of their food. We beseech thee to tell us Aow the Parliament will get money from the fastibolders to be applied is aid of the poor-rates t "e Awe, smash."

Bat, when he rose to bogie, the Misieters. -who, of coarse. bad not chatted with the worthy gentleman about it before. proposed to him to put et big modem till seat Session! The Hot:morally Gentleman, though with relactaace equal to that Wash.' sow speaker feels upon Ant golog into the chair, did, at list, yield, after a dish of, we must say, Is polite and pretty conversation as we have ever heard in all oar lives, even when carried on by warm hearted and soft-tongued youths that come over from the sister kingdom. And so, all was settled for this session ; for the Hosoarable Gentleman " felt that be " could not do putties to the cause which be had on " dertakea to advocate if ho did not postpone it!"— And thus the thing was about to end; but, faith, Ito sach thing! Mr. Hums did net sea to ooderstaad this sort of settling. He did not seem to understood srAy the *object should not be discussed. and therefore As made a motion. " That, early the nest *coins, the " Bowe will inquire into the state of the Church es• " tablishment, and the mode ofcelleeting tithe* is Ire. " lend, with a view to make RUC,, ALTERATIONS is " may be _Arid necessary under ell the circumstances". This be prefaced by a speech sontainieg a statement . of abuses enough to fill the gentlest breast with indig nation and rage ; and, not a single fact, stated by him, was contradicted. To do justice to him, on this occasion, is absolutely impossible. He ought to print . ' his speech at fan length, with all the horrid details ; and, if be neglect this, he does bat half do his duty; though, for that half, we most cordially thank him, it being a great deal more than the whole that any other member has done for a long series of years.—This was what the boxers call a dostelerarp. It will make the thing cry aha!--.31r. Peet, and a man of the name of Boots No (Dennis Raown a, we believe), Mr. Gouunuax and Mr. PLUNK tri T, appear to have bees sadly chuffed by this speech of Mr. Hums. They called it reedit/Misty and all that was unpleasant; but, Sir J. Nev. roar having moved an amendment, which was f olly more rceolationtry, it was loin only by a ma jority of 7 against, 65 for it and 72 against it. It was thi s : "That this House will take the subject of Irish Tithes joto its " consideration early in the next ' Session. 'with a view to sabstiatte a made of provid 0. ivg f ur th e este t h,Mahed church different /tan the pre ' sent eexations and ilitlelels system." Mr. Hums Kea wag, an d well h e might; for his dram (motion I mean) was nothing compared with this •' Mrop a shriek" from the native still of Old Ireland herself. And yet even this motion was 'rarely I.2st ! Thme the fat ones heard their first knell! Nor did Sir dome NEWPORT dinet in point of speech.— it short, the thing is begun; and high time it is that it were brgnn. This is a subject that will be, and halm he, returned to; is the meanwhile, listen, Per in s: .1 be Society _liar Promoting Christian Know. laze hay.. published, by the heads of their booksel lers, the itivingtons. 1 " religions tracts," in which they liars abused and belied Mr. CORBETT, who, to return goad for evil, and to promote real Christi an Knowledge at the same time. has published a Sermon (being the last of his little volume,) "on Me • TH " Deities of Parsee,. and on tat institution and o 6 " feet of tither " This has beer republished in Ire. land, with copious notes. applying the doctrine to th. facts in existence, and has been Well eirealated in the part of the kingdom. So you me, Parsons, that tw• can play as well as one at this game of Tracts ! Wit this sermon goes it must make clews work Let the Parsons. and especially them who are half pay officers in As army, answer that Sermon. ON 7EN/ - 1111DA7, JONI 20. le the Lords. ea • Naviration Bill, Lord HOLLAND complained, that, after all the pledges of foreign pow. era, the Sl.ee Trade was carried on by them with ar much vigour as ever. This is very true, bat uselesr . to state. While the debt lasts, no nation will pay attention to our complaint* of breach of treaty. The French King did, indeed, agent to abolish the trade; but, on second thoughts, he cannot see, perhaps, why he should be bound to the agreement, especially as it is the Royal doctrine, that Kiegs are not to be booed by any premises, or oaths, made when they are not at perfect freedom. However, it is useless for this term try to complain of breech of treaty es long as the debt /sate in any thing like half its present amount. iN THR Costworrs.—REPEAL OF PEEL'S BILL to a certaiety! The Cuascstioa of the Excite- Quin brought in a Bill to authorise the continalog of the hone of mall notes, to enforce a coetiasatios of legal tender, and. le these respects to alter " 'misting laws?" to wit, Past's Hitt! According to that Bill, the small notes of the Borough Bank and (be Legal Tender of all her motes, cease on the first of May mere. This new Bill is to prolong both for sine years at least! So here is the Bill repealed as to two essential parts of it! Well! so matter. The iron is ready, aid the Gridiron will be ready to go up by the time that the Bill shall have received the " Royal decent." We bops the Speaker wilt make s speech to the King, upon the occasion, as be did when Pest's Bill was passed! Mr. RICARDO observed, with most amiable naivete. that people oat eidasr B would cerntimly deem this measure • repeal of the act of 1819! Aye, and the people is doors too, to be sure, unless one could suppose them all drunk or mad; and that we cunt, sad, 101, dare not ap pose.

A meeting of the principal Bankers took place on Friday last, at which the subject of reduction of die. counts at the Bank was incidentally started : The consideration was, whether it would not be expedient for the Bankers also, in the advances to those who kept Baronets with them, to redace the rate of interest. The majority. we understand, were opposed to this concession, particularly as it was found, oe inquiring for precedents, that in the year 1773. when the Bank discoonted at four per cent. pri►ate Bankers still cos dotted to charge fi►e per cent. on 'their ndwasete.

This day there came on before this" Court, the rause of Lord Archibald Hamiltos evilest Duncan Stevenson, for a series of libels, published in the &i -con in April, May, and June, 1821, tending to bring into contempt she character of the Noble Lord. The damages were laid ,at 5,0001; and the Joey was • Special one. Mr. Has.av CoCIRURN in a speech of consider.ible leegth, opened the case for the pursuer, when about • eight or ten witnesses were called. to disprove the in jurious assertions in the Beacom, revivifies. the chew tir and conduct of Lord Archibald Hamilton, which were the grounds of this action. Mr. D. MACNEIL was then heard for the defence, but no evidence being called for the defeaee, the other party was net allowed to reply. The Lord Chief Commissioner next addressed the Jury. He observed, that in this cowry the press was but still there was such salutary restraints upon it as were necessary for the protection of character. He then went into an explanation of the law of libel, end pointed ont the distinction between general and persona' discussion. The question they had to try was, wbetbee sr not the personal feelings of the partner had been is. bared by the remarks complained of. They were to put tbeinselves is the situation Mammon readers, and to draw the saute conclusions which they would draw. His Lordship then proceeded shortly to mate his opinion regarding the several leanes t which he cooreived were on the whole well founded, the remarks in the paper. which were the ground of the action, being libellous, particularly those relating to Wilson and Turner; and in this view he was supported by his Learned Brother on the li'ncb. There was one thing. however, which he would recommend to their consideration. He could not suppose the noble individual who was pursuer, hod brought on this ease for any other purpose than to yin. dicate his character from the aspersions that had been thrown upon it. There was so riadictiveness in the case, and therefore the amount of damages he conceived was a matter of little moment. However, this, as well as the merits of the case, was for their consideration. Tits Jury then retired for about three quarters of an hour, and on returning, found for the pursuer in all the issues.—Damages one shilling.
