Weal measures ever introduced. Surely his Orate did not mean to say that Mr. CANNING is a Jesuit.— The Irish boast of this gentleman as their country- GI 10 ; be attended the last St. Patrick's dinner ; and le watched him there when he said something nbi9g looked very much like claiming a family eon s:salon both with England and Ireland. But we, at any rate. really did not look upon him as a Jesuit. We always knew his Bill would be lost, and were always pretty sure that he knew it, too. But we did rut think that it would he called absolutely a Jesu itical measure. flowerer, that the Bill will be lost is eery certain ; for, as we said before, it is a ques tion of tse:cs; it is a question of staff to eat and driok, and to dress fine and to make merry ; not a question of conscience, or of any thirg of the sort. If the Catholic Peers be admitted, so most Catholic Commons, lad !holy - otiose Catholic Priests; and what earthly pretext can there then be for appropriating the tytbes, which were first granted to Catholics to be devoured by Protestants? If this Bill were to pass, we must very soon leave the people of Ireland to c , :oose their own e•ctors and vicars; and if it ever comes to that, either in Ireland or in this country, we think the chances decidedly in favour of a Priest hood, uniccumbered with wives and families. Give bath fair play and the Catholic Priests will beat their opponents to a certainty. Lord Beene presented petitions from a couple of parsons, who bad had long strings of que‘tions put to them by the Bishop of Peterborough (.41arolt), who explained so folly the meaning of the evidence of Barbara Krantz ! The Bishop has, it twenty, rather better than four score of questions down in print, ss bleb he sends to all those Curates, or Clergymen that apply to him for licenses to act as Ministers of the Church. These two petitioners, or the first, at at least, had given long dissertations in answer to the Bishop, In place of a yes or a no. The Ilithop said that the answers were perplexed and aolLi (woos ; and, thereupon, he refused the license re piey ed of bias.—We, had we been in the place of the petitioner, would have desired the Bishop befote lie cLUed epos us fur an answer, to eighty-seven ques tions, elegies something like an answer himself, to his Catholic opponent,Doctor GRANDOLPIM who beat hint out of the field, and made him scamper for shelter to t►e strong fortress of Acts of Parliament. Lord lIoL LAND, who we were sorry to perceive treating the thing in a manner far too serious, made one good ob servation, namely, that the Bishop judicially restricted Itis examination to egrates without interfering with MICA preovittd to tieing.: This was a very good re mark. Lord Decor complimented the Bishop un his learning and character. The Bishop wrote a Pitt pam phlet iu favour of the prosecution of the war against the republicansof France. And we can say of that pamphlet, that it was a heap of the most stupid stuff that ever fell Prow the press. In the pension list delivered in MS, ibis Marsh stands fur a pension of about seven Initi ated a year; and if we had been the petitioner in place of the unfortunate ca►ate, we should tot have thanked Lord LUCRE for the part that it acted. Lord CAL eeeee ewas is favour of the peti tioner; and Lord HARZOWDY was for having the petition received, though he did not wish to support any fprther proceedings upon it. The LORD CH•pr ckiLos consented to receiving the petition, but not in the sense of its attaching any blame to the Bishop. Lord Dacus then moved fur a Committee to examine into the matter of the petition.—Lord CAILIti•IIVON called upon the Bench of Bishops to approve or disap }rove of the conduct of their Right 11ev. Brother. lbey remained silent, however, and the motion was ergatived by a large majority.—The fact of the LB. •ta. 11't. • Hellaad . - 0 O Hambro' - - 0 I Frames - - 0 O Flaaders - - 0 THE *TATESII A N case is this, there are a parcel of uses that sonic call Rena:died preerhere, and some call them Methodist. in the Church. Tine are a race more industrioue than the others, who read their ser mons and confine themselves to the mere form of the Church. The Evangelical. preach bootee sermons. pray extempore, and bear a strong renashlance to the most stately of the Methodists. They are, in georrat. great favourites in populous places, where people are mewed up in small compare. and where they pose their brains in half dark rooms. They are favourites with the women, generally, whon hearts are more susceptible of pious impressions than those of the other sex. In short, they are gaining ground very fast. There are two opinions as to the effect of this upon the system grxerally. One opinion is, that by taking the Methodists in their own way; by fighting them at their own weapons ; or, in other words, by making a church possess all the requisites of a Metho dist meeting-house, the greater part of the people, and particularly the women, will be held to thelharcb, which is the most commodious buildiag, and which will, of coarse, be freqnented by all pe spire, best fortune and figure —The other opinion is, that if tie Church go this length ; if it adopt the Evangelical plan it must not stop there; that the Methodists will still keep a head, and that the Church must follow; till, at last, all becomes rant and roaring nonsense; and that, therefore, it is hest to make • stand sow; to go on in the old dry way, and to tint to three things, the Law, the Tythes and the general indifference of the men, in all the country parts particularly.— We, who own no tythes, can give • very impartial opi nionupon the matter; and we most say, that though we lingh at Bishop lassies eighty-nen questions, we think that the evangelical plan would sooolttin ble down the church, even if it. temporalities were in a state of touch greater security than they are.—lf we were disposed to enter into the question as a ques tion of religion, we should be certainly on the side of the Bishop. It is his business to e.romine before be licenses. Aud we know well how strictly we should examine a candidate for a seat in Parliament if we bad the power. If Le be not ttiexamine, then, indeed, he is a pretty licencer ; and it had better be declared at once that be bee nothing to do with the mat ter, and that any ranting raving fellow may be sent to insult a parish with his nonsense, while the Rector is spending the amount of the tythes in London or at Paris. It has always happened that when there has been great and imminent danger to the very existence of an establishment, the persons most deeply concerned in that existence have been enraged in squabbles amongst themselves about some trintig - elrentestaates In ilms-.4aoste of managing is. Thus we see the liandlurds of the kin;rlom busy as bees about the management and preservation of the partridges and barn that ;a So ant 6., alibi , near their estates, while they have, for more than twenty years paid not the smallest attention to thee lasts that were gradually at work to take from them the estates themselves. And so it is in the case of the Church- The Church is built upon its revenues; and at a mo ment, when there may he great doubt as to the con tinuation of those revenues for only a few years, the persons most deeply concerned in the matter are dis puting about nice points of doctrine and discipline. The dispute will, in all probability, be terminated in much about the same manner as that of the two mastiffs io the fable, which, at the end of the battle for a bone, found the bone carried off. IN THI COMMONS there were petitions of Brewers and Publicans in Lancashire against any alteration in the Licensing Law. To be sure ! They want no alteration in a law which compels the poor weavers to swallow what they please to give them, and at their own price; and we must say that those who do swal- low it are very little to be pitied. The Publicans in London, however, seem to be of a different taste ; and after the treatment of Mr. Maim, well they may. We do not believe, however, that any efficient alteration will be adopted. Tbe licensing of public houses is too closely connected with the root of the system ever to be materially altered, until a Reform of the Parliament shall take place. Mr. WYNN'S Bill fora new mode or *cling mem• bees in Yorkshire was thrown out up,a, division ; but it served to give WIL/ICIIVORCI. that friend of the blacks and that deputy upon the memorable message to the C,Nres, an opportunity of observing that it was a happy anomaly in our happy constitution, that some Members represented ;great counties, some great cities and some small towns. lie did Trot mention Gallon and Old Sarum. but. he doubtless, meant them amongst the small towns.—We are glad, however. the Bill was thrown oat; but we are muds more glad that the Landlords must now lose their ratites, unless we have an efficient reform of the Parliament. The Gish Police Bill, that is to say,. a Bill to put into the hands of the Government the power of appoint ing Constables as well as Magistrates, Mr. GRANT. Mr. lixouctitast and some others opposed this Bill.— Mr. Aninciromnix said, that " hr formerly beard it " stated that the Marquess WeLt.caLer had pursued " the seine plan of Government io ladia as BUONA " PARTE did in Europe, and be thought this Dill WAS " not calculated to remove tke impression." This does not square very well with that opinion expressed of the Marquess, at the beginning of the Session, by Sir Faarrcts BURDETT, whose confidence io the Mar -1 guess's liberality and humanity was so great, that lie was eager to sake his breast the repository attic tre mendous power of martial 1.. w over Vie Irish The Government are going very far; but still, they stop very far short of the point to which Sir FRANCIS was ,willing to come. ~.r~ ~- New Turk Palms, of which the following am r' tracts; arrived this morning to the 17th of Noy : We learn that when Captain Weston left St. S tiv der teanquillity lad been restored between the Bra zi ian and Esropean troops, and the new ti mot from Ramps bad been established without any further opposition.

It was snp• posed that the crop of sugar cane avoid he stint ibir year, in consequence of the wet weather and the sick. ness which prevailed last year. Barausso re or Couuness.—At length, says the YotioNal Intelligencer, Congress bas terminated the brat Session of the Seventeenti Congress. The S►nate adjourned at a little after 2 o'clock yesterday, and the House of It-presentative% at a little past 3 u'clock.— (13M May, New York Gazette, Monday.) Paris papers to the 6th inst.. repeat the intelligence 'that the Turks bad. early in May, commenced the eve enation of Moldavia and Wallachia. An article from Bach , dated May 11, states, that whilst the Ft ropeans rejoice at thkdeparture of the Turkish troops, the Greeks are in the deepest affliction, as it removes the hopes which they entertained of a war between Ramie and the Porte, which they considered neceseart to the consolidation of their independence. Two of the Boyards, who hail been sent to Coasiantinople, are said to have beets appointed llospodars of the eve coated Provinces. The others are kept as hostages, in order to prevent a fresh insurrection. Fifteen hun dred Janissaries were to remain at Bucharest to main tain order.—The moat important article, however, in these papers is the Address, voted on the 24th ult., by the Spanish Cortes to the King, on the state of the na tion. lu this document, which is of considerable length, the Cortes paint, in lively colours, the ca lamitous efforts of the King's own party, to deprive the people of the benefits of the Constitution ; they condemn loudly the appointments which he has made of men, to the command of Provinces, who have been guilty of all manner of enormities, and they call On him, in language not to be mistaken, to concur honestly 1 with tbe Cortes in carrying the Cowie ution into effect. The conduct of the Priests, they thus describe:—They preach against the liberty which oar Constitution parable's; and sacrilegious and perjured, they fana ticize and stir up the people, form regiments of the weak, whom they seduce, and mix with banditt.— With the incense in one hand, and the sword in the other, abnsine their influence, arming them selves with their audacity. they rush on to stir up to insurrection, oppress, pillage and burn cities; to cause streams of Wood to now, and to convert an happy Spain into a dreadful theatre of civil war, in the deceitful hope of annihilating for ever the National Glory, Liberty, the Throne, and the Itepre sentation." To re-establish order and to save the Con stitution the following measures are thus pointed out and urged :—" Tito Cortes anxiously request of your Majesty, in order to put au end to the fears by which we are assailed, and to prevent the evils which we have indicated, to order that the national. anditia be immediately augmented lied armed through out the kingdom: fur citizens armed in defence of their homes and liberties, are the strongest pillars stAbe Cozstitution. Let the permanent army be organized wi h equal zeal and rapidity, that army so deeply entitled to the gratitude of your Majesty, and to that of the country, and who,e exploits and virtues excite the admiration of the universe. At the same time the Cartes hope that your Majesty will inform every foreign Government which, whether directly or indirectly, would take's part in our donsestic concerns. that the nation is not in • situation to receive laws that she possesses power and resources to cause her self to be respected, and that if she knew how to de fend her indh•penJence and her King with glory, it is with the same glory and with still greater exertions that she will always know how to defend her King and her liberty." Some fresh paper: relative to the lonian Islands have lately been printed by order of the House of Com• eons. They were ordered so recently as last month. but they relate chiefly to transactions which took place early in the year IS'2l. It appears that a petition was privately circulating in the island of lante last March twelvemonth, and that the representative of the Lord High Commissioner there, Sir Patrick Ross, being aware of the circumstance. seised the petition on the person of M. de Rossi. the Judge of the island. The petition simply complains, " that every power is placed in the absolute will of a single person, which could never he the intention of Rinse who fixed the destiny of the islands;" and all that it prays for, is " A Legislative Assembly freely chosen front the Notables of the island, which shall make such changes and modifications that the authority of the Lord High Commission', shall not exceed a sedately and benevolent superin tendeaces sad that the people shall enjoy a rettional liberty and moderate independence." 'f his is the gist ■nd hoiden of the petition ; and these reasonable com plaints and just hopes, Sir Patrick Rues and Sir Tho mas blai.land call " seditious, libellous, and treason able!" Ott the petition being forwarded by the error to the Senate, the Senate immediately sus pended Count Elabariari and M. Rossi from the situ ations they held under the Government, in conse quence of having been the two first to sign it ; and as the Count was a member of the Lee'slatite Assembly for Zante, that Assembly also suspended him as a member of that body. We are extremely happy in being able to state, that Mr. tiregury is considerably better.—(Dialits Xorniig Post. Thursday.) . William Ousting.
