If his Hon. friend should press his amendment to a division, he woutdcer rainly support it. Mr. DAWSON said he had set ir said there had been a conspiracy. .Lord PALMERSTON regretted that the Hon. Mem her for Shrewsbury bed goes into long details on a vestion where they were not necessary, and where their obly effect would be to add fuel to the data. • ' Whether there was a conspiracy or not, beAnew not ;. hat mimeo had ever been more the oLject of deter misted and rancorous persecution than Sir William Adams. He had never witnessed more professional hatred than appeared on the part of soine who bad given evidence before the Committee. That had been his rea son for objecting to print the minutes. Sir W. Adams had never claimed the merit of a discovery, but always professed to base derived his knowledge from his mas ter, Mr. Saunders. He hail never talked of secrets. Froth the first he bad declared that his knowledge had been derived from Mr. Saunders, and that it was of this nature. lodammation of Opthalmia left a roughness on the inside of the eye which often cawed a relapse, and produced pain and blindness. The existence obelegsurra mutation, for that was the professional term, war the first part of the knowledge he prof ; the next was, . that this granulation could be noret was,of minor consideration by what means the granulation could he removed. 'The Noble Lord went on to defend the con . duct of Sir W. Adams. The men who bad been tnrned cote the hospital had been so treated on account of mi.eouduct andinsabordination. The attacks made by , Sir Wm. Adams upon the Army Medical Board bail • been provoked by attacks made upon hies; and err • 'thinly nothing had been said by Sir William Mains, ornemer than that which had been stated by Dr. Vetch. The sons to be voted (4,0000 was far from being exces sive remuneration to a man of Sir Wm. Adams's pro fessional standing and celebrity. Mr. H. 0. BRNNETT declared that none of themes broneht before the Committee bad amounted to cores. Atter • few words from Lord PALMERSTON. Mr. Busse, and Mr. Dews" the amendment was negatived • without a division. The original resolution was then put and carried; and the house having resumed, the re pert was ordered to be received to-morrow. ANCIENT RECORDS OP VIII EINGDOM. The order of the day being read for the house to re solve itself Into a Committee upon the address for pub lishing the Ancient Records of the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose, and expatiated at some length upon the advantages likely to arise out of such a measure. After adverting to the imperfect state of our existing historical records, end to the causes which preveat‘d their being folly at tended to by private individuals. the Right Hon. Gen tleman then moved that an bncoble address be presented to his Majesty, representing the defective state of the , ancient history of the kingdom, and suggesting that an edition published, under Royal authority, would be west honourable to his reign, and most useful in fur • Iberia, the general dissemination of knowledge; fur ther praying directions for the publication of such an edition, and assuring his Majesty that Yardmen'. would provide for the expense. Sir JAMES hIAUKINTOSH felt great satisfaction in seconding the motion, and considered the work pro posed to be one of the very highest utility. thaerally speaking, the °overawing of England was a little Is • arrear as to its patronage of literature; but it was highly creditable to the state of society In this country, that we saw works got up here by ialivideal under taging.which in other countries would have required , the assistance of the legistature. With respect to the work in question, however, there were • variety of l tenses —the great capital required—The great devotion, of time--tlae limited extent of probable sale—and cer• l tain lairs which prnsed heavily upon the publication of' expensive works, which were likely to prevent its being performed by individual speculation. Whatever tint lacer it might be thought necessary to exercise.lti order to prevent the money voted from being oatrava- 1 • ;randy or improperly applied, no one could dissent front the principle of the measure proposed. Sir James Mackintosh concluded by mentioning Dr. Petre, keeper of the records of the Tower, as an individual well qua- Mini, by a life of study, to perform the work in question. Mr. HUME did not object to the measure, but be hoped that the work would not tarn out as the inetita tion of the Irish Record Office had done. More than 711,0001. bad been paid by the public to that establish ment, and the result obtained was very trifling indeed. He should recommend, with respect to the work now proposed, the presenting of an anneal report to Parlia ment; and he should be happy to have some explanation at the convenience of the Hon. Secretary for Ireland, of the state of the Irish Secord Office at the present time. Mr. °MILBURN said that the matter was ander consideration. It should be remembered however, that if the yet proceeds obtained had been small, the work was of a most laborious and intricate description. Mr. HUDSON GURNEY supported the Ile should consider it a Doom of National congratula- Don that a work of this nature should be commenced during the life time of a man who was so eminently qualified to aid and assist it as the gentleman whose n,,ne been mentioned. Mr. H. 0. BENNET said he never pee a vote in, his life with more satisfaction than the present. but he should protest against the work being conducted on too expensive a scale. He would wish to see it a work of general utility, and one which, devoid of unnecessary splendour, might find easy circulation. Mr. U. W. WYNN said be did not wish for any unne cessary splendour, but still the work should be publish ed in a manner worthy of their character. With respect to the works published by the Record Committee, be wield say they were sot conducted on too expensive • scale, bat in order to get them into one voles.* that was made too large. Mr. BRIGHT hoped the widest works would be published at full length, Mr. C W. WYNN said, that in many of tie Monkish writers very large e xt rac t s were g i ven from works which it would be necessary also to re-publish, and it would be mow aaaa ry to repeat those extracts. Mr. BRIGHT still thought it would be better to give the works as in the originals. The resolution was them agreed to, and the house hav ing resumed, the report was ordered to be received to morrow. SUPERAXIIIIATION ACT. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the Loose resolved itse!f into a Committee un the Snperaanuation Amendment Act. The night Hon. Gentleman them moved, that the Act should com mence from the month of Joly, and sot as originally in tended, from last Jansary.—Agreed to. (In the clause for commencing the scale of deduction with officers receiving salaries of 501. Mr. UALCRAFT objected to the scale commencing with salaries so low as 501. per annum. He suefested that the scale should originate with salaries of 11.10/. per annum, which, op to SOW. a-year, should b e s ubj ec t e d to o a deduction of to aad a halt per cent, ; and after that amount to a deduction of hve per test. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad art desire to resist the suggestion of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Calcraft); and the clause was amended on that az retirement. The other clauses were then agreed to. The house resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received to morrow this day.) Several orders of the day were thee disposed of. Z'; Oa the tbied reading of tie Lotteries Bill bolsi rioted. 'Mr. J.

AND THE " RESPECTABLE" AND CORRUPT PRESS. This subject, is its most interesting past of view; that is to say. as It throws light on matterseensected with the administration of law end jastiee; this sub ject, taken in this light..will be fully treated of in the Register of out Saturday. For essays a: great length, we have sot room in our diurnal publication; but, we have. we trust, dose m t duty towards the Poldie in this case, and particularly by dragging forth the most respectable and most pomp% press is this world. We cannot, however, let another day pass without taking medics of what we God Ik S that rile old paper, The Time* of this morning. We stall Deg. like Dr. O'M saga, pat stars, instead of letters: we imam the vile old thing, and call sport the Odic to witness its condeet.—la another port of our paper will be fold (taken from the Mardis, Chroxiefe of te.day) a letter addressed to Mr. Boom who, it appears, is now a Judge in Ireland. The letter has sot a sigma tare to It; bet the %rola& is undoubtedly well so dded as to the facts contained in that letter. We beg OCT readers to peruse that letter with attention ; to mete, as every honest man will, the case of Mr. Brass their own ; to consider of the sufferinds of that man to consider what is duo to him and his family ; and then to reflect, that if the press in Ireland had then dime Ilea/sty, that which-we have now bad to record might But. bow most the Morning C oniele lament, then, that it did sot hasten to do its duty on Monday loom ing! If this paper had acted the part which the Morning Chronicle acted. the name of the uffender would not have bees knows unto this day ; and, as we verily believe, never would knee been know. at eli. The article which had appeared in the Observer of the Sunday named nobody. That artic'e bad appeared bat in one paper. The Morning paper*, that noiced the thing at all. had abridged, mutilated, and disguised that article. Two of them, that brace of true brothers, the Old Times and the New Times, sunk the thing wholly in eiknee. So that, during the Monday, operations would have been carried on effectually to prevent alt exposure of tbe principal criminal, sad ow the Twit day morning wesheuld have seen, in every One of these Papers, articles asserting •hat some gross error had been committed with respect to a Right Reverend Prelate, originating in some casual misnomer, or in something or other that would hare appeared plaitel• ble. And, on the Wednesday, we should hive beard the saute Papers lamenting, with great sincerity, that oue of their contemporaries, the proprietor of a Sun day paper. bad been so unadvised and•rash as to give bred le loose reports, having nut the smallest founda tion in fact, respecting certain 'opposed usiscuoduct of a most learned, venerable, and Right Reverend Prelate of the Church! Bless them ! On the Thurs day, that is to say, to-day, we should have beard them all open in full cry, just as if the game was in view : their voices different in tone, indeed ; their Demmer of opening different; and different the loudness of their yell ; bat off they would have gone in fell and unanimous cry against the profligacy of those writers who administer to the brutal passions of the " lower orders," by circulating hints and and ineeedus tending to bring into hawed and cos tempt their natural protectors and guardians of the higher orders; tending to lessen in their esteem all those whom it is their bounden duty to venerate ; tending, in short, to gratify their froward dispositions "by inculcating disrespect in them towards al; their betters. their pastors and masters; and thereby to pro duce in them a disregard of the laws of Quo as well as of a paternal Oovernmest ; and to bring them at last into a state. in which their limes would be for feited to the outraged ordi of their country, and their souls turned over to the Revd. This is whit we should bare bad. on Tuesday, Wed. Illesday sod Tbanday, if the Sununu! bad nodose . ..~_.....-. its duty ea Monday. The Old Mmes. always ibe worst amongst the bad, kept quite silent daring Mon day. Tuesday. and IgigintAlm inr it endured our thumping for ibyee three days as quietly as a wool pack. It seems to have been wishing to rival, is this passive quality, a pair of shoulders not very distaMly connected with It. At last; bat not before, it has to announce, that Me criminal hal fled from jeatice. But. let us hear the old thing. and then remark a little upon what it says for itself. " An exposure of monstrous depravity has taken place within these few days, all allusimi to whieh we hove " hitherto suppressed. Mingled feelings of sorrow, " himeiliation, and disgust, have been in part the einem' "of our silence ; and the respect lee ors V. pub " lie denary might still have induced as to per... " were in oar , if we could have thereby checked " the horrible tale in its progress to notoriety amongst " ell ages and both sexes, which ice fear it hes already "attained to. The person amused of being the chief " criminal—P. Jocelyn, Bishop of Clogher—has, it is " affirmed, forfeited his bail, and quitted for ever the " ministry which bin presence bad polluted. Hail in " seek a case! What sum could be named which the " wretch would not have 'sacrificed ?. We know nor " whether to rejoin or grieve that he hasfledjkomire " Hee. We know not whether the trial of such a criminal " for such a crime s might not have cost more in the way " of corruption, than even his death by law. mild have " paid in the way of satisfaction to good morals. It is " dreadful to renumber, that a poor and perhaps ins*- " cent man was sentenced to transporantion from his " country, on the oath of this mitred reprobate, far " only threatening to charge him with that which he " now stands (by his flight ) confessedly convicted. It " is more dreadful to think how the church of Hod has "ban scandalized and disgraced." Thos. as the peblic.will see, the Old Timms cam speak, when the bird has flown ; which he might not have done if the Morning papers of Monday had done their duty. This Paper can now tell us that this is a mitred reprobate. It can tell us about the mss that was punished on his account in leased. It knows, now, all abort the waiter, but it could say not a word about it until Thurs.lay morning, though, the principal facts were stated in the Obsereerst Sunday; and Omagh it is perfectly notorious to every holy in London that that paper is condoeted in a mannernot to leave the smallest doubt of the trash of thine facts. The old hack eau sow exclaim, too : " hail in such case!" Yes, and you hew it on Sunday morning last as well as we did. If your pretended 'crapu lousness about indeceney prevented 'yea from serrat ing the facts ; it cor.lii not prevent, for the public has cow seen that the whole case can be communicated to it with perfect fidelity mid yet without a single hint to give offence to .he most fastidious delicacy ; this scald not have ?revolted you from giving a faithful aceountrof the transaction, rite sufficient to answer all NI purposes of justice and fair dealing; bat if, after all, you found yonrself so *tepid, so wholly des titute of Pleat as not to be able to speak upon such a subject without being guilty of grossaess too offensive to be endeared by the politic, did *hat peevsat yeti from speakiag of the bail ? Hypocricy may *erre you elsewhere; but it cannot serve yes here. There is nothing indelicate in the word bail! When you were speaking. of the rere•street Chug, who were com paratively poor devil., and poor devils are always your aversion; poverty Is always sin eating+ of itself is I your eyes: when you were speaking of the ti ere-street Gang. you very justly indeed, but post vebemeatly, aad without the smallest delicacy in the world, gave oarratlve• of the transactions ; but if you be grown delicate, all at once, sad if that delicacy is of such a strange complexion that it blushes when you have to speak of the conduct of a Bishop, and is hardened as brass when you have to speak of what you call the sedition. conduct of Mrs. CaaLii.s and her sister, for out tearing whom out of their houses you blamed the Government : If your delicacy be of this strange com plexion, what bad delicacy to do with the buil !---- Now that the wretch has fled; now that your publi cations can do him on harm ; sow that be laughs at your paragraphs ; now you can exclaim " bail in are/ " a ease!" Now, that you have ,tone all that you can do for him by your silence ; now you have seen the cat jump away, and have ton, seen which way public opinion jumps, and having, betides, felt, in your sale (where alone you have feeling) now yea can begin to juin in and is a few days, we should not wonder to see you begisning some foul-mouthed attack upon those whim. you will choose to deem guilty of suffering this es cape. We beg the public to watch you, upon this oc casion. Yon do net well know what to do, but your workings will be matter of great curiosity, at any rate. As to your concluding remark, about the disgrace brought upon the Church of God, it belongs to that species of bla.phentous cant, for which you are so fa mous; but, it weighs not a feather lu wiping oft' the disgrace of three days' silence with regard to such a t lion. 7he effect of this silence you Isere al ready felt, to our certain kuowleoge; sod the fuother effects are to come. . If it be true that the Bishop; that the Right Be 'reread Pother in lied, the Lord Bishop of Clue User is gone oar of the kingdom never to return, es everted in this vile old paper, whirls appears to know a prat great more about the matter of going away than we do: if this be taste, rho: is to become of the Bishop ric' Is the Bishop still to receive the immense re venues of that Bishopric which have beers stated at thirteen thousand pounds a•year, and which are pro bably touch more ? Is there to be n o Bi s hop to sop ply me p l ace ? is he to have a deputy ? It would be Itteensed blasphemous to say that Bishops are of no use ; it would be deemed revolutionary and treason able. We must not, therefore, say that; and yet it could be hard to say what use a Bithop is to be of, if he can live out of the country all his li`e time. We know, not, however, of any her, by which a man he unbiehoped, or have his revenues taken front him, We do know, however. that a law ram Le grade to do it, and for the honour of the country we do hope thatthe Parliament will nut separate whitest taking. this matter up. We are not to be told, that the Par. !lament cannot Interfere in legal peueertlive already CONSWISCed. We have a case; a vase in point as to every thing but the nature of the Act. *toes of clergymen of the Church of England were informed against for non-residence in 1799. Actions were brought against them agreeably to the 21st (we think it-was) of Hairy VIII. Now nand, here were legal proceedings against many Clergymen of the Church. —The law was clear. There was as quirk that could save them. There was as law exist's!, 'that would admit of an interpretation la their firs t , Then came (pull your bats oar -readers!) tb s . cut, the PerliemeNt and passed a law to save them 1 ) , quashing Gm informations against them ; by mi tt as end to those legal proceedings, and sulferiag ,eritual resorts to go free. Now, if this could he done by Act of Pedlars /it, Mlle Parliament could interfere, and in so effect ' , a warmer here, to set aside one of the most impe ctio provisions is that code which gave the Church its p c " perk; if it could do this, can it sot interfere two Or are we to be told that it ea■ seen isterfere trip laws relative to the Church, eseept for the purpos e protecting those Members ado( Church, who **ea guilty of a breach of the laws? However, wl SHALI. SEE; for, as we have said from the la* aing, the THING is now noon its trial!
