Ile wan nuarn alraid party zeal and religiouv acrimony would mix in the ,„oust; the chrome, would he keenly disputed, and the result s atild net be beneficial to religion. Ile therefore would not aanent 0 , t hin plan, if it were not intiolified to a great deerte. Ile would crier again tot the manufactering towns, and he would mention it ,,,a w italit, and Prone; and he would ink if t h e ea pcnottitire of half a million would be thought too much to promote the ramie of religion in these place.?

When thew parsons were desired by the lion. 3G-wither to build churches for themselvea, new laws ntiot.hl he passed ; g would not be done by any local regulation. This state WAR tohe lamented, especially in thane districts inhabited by the manufacturers. This clam, the life and soul of the country, had eat 'rely banished the wealthy proprietors; and it was peculiarly herd .Ort thew permit,. should labour Rill days, and should not have on the seventh an opportunity of religious aecommodation . ; this was not put; it could not be the mtention of the legislaturethat this class, the strength and sinews of the cntintry, and on whom the taxes, anon the country wan generally taxed, chiefly fell, should he !hint treated. It was for thew reasons tiddler he nor the Ibitese could have a ny objection to the grant ; and inreference to what had past as to the expenditure at the million, he thought it utterly inipmatible to make any complaint. In the reign of Queen Anne, when the yaw pan ved for a sunilae purpose, eleven churches only were built, :aid by the vote named in our time, 100 churches were erected ; sail it, by the appropriation of one halt' million, fifty churches were . 1 1111.11, he knu-w they would noon, from that %pint which be knew the men who professed the establiehed religion to he actuated by, and it by that grant one member of 81.0411 families %hook' have the epportionity of religious a roiiiiiimiatitin, 1114 We Wahl would be done tan by any vide which would appropriate any sum from the re souro...l of thin rich and powerful country.

Ilia accents were almost inaudible.) lie .:aid education was the Nance and foundation of every thine good in tatriety, and all modern authors of rexpect ahility who had treated of the subject were of the same opinion. This Vitale of laying out the ter than expending it in building churches. Ile had taken much pain% to ascertain the character of the lower orders in this country, anti lie had 131 hesitation in saying, that the agricultural donates were mare disposed to reline, and knit ntoral than any other abou t...ever. Ile knew several instances of chordal. which Were erected by the voluntary c iiiii ributitnut of the neighbouring individuals, and many others which were built for private speculation ; and he could nut think there was any nurcesrity for coaling with an appli cation to Parliament for HO object winch could be so well attained by public cantributioon or private apectilatioo. Ile was sure that no man could be ignorant of the depraved and ignorant state of the lower orders of society ; and he would contend that to leave people in such a state, a prey to their pasitionn and had habit'', was a ennui: indeed. The education of the po.wer claws, lie conceived to be of greater importance than any other, and far more worthy of con imb•rat 1111 l than the buildingp, of churches. Ihictor 1,1 !ail 1 TON could not agree with the Honourable eh:adman who tool just sat down, although be believed with I that the subject of education was one of vital importance. There stood upon the atatute hook Acts which mooch penal on any one to absent himself from places of worship. And there existed a power of entorcing in every pariah the enlargement of churches, tat as to give every inhabitant a place therein. But if churches were not built Mr them, they must either absent themselves from plates of wourallip altogether, or take refuge in dissenting meeting- Liaise& Ile did not make this observation front prejudice, but because be wait anxious that the Church of England should have :nir play.

On referring to the Report of the Canunottee for Building Chun hes, he Road that for 60,00411. they had procured acconinita!at ion air eighty thousand persona. Ile meant to prOpOse us an amendment, that none of the churches which might be built by Parliament should be tenable, with any other church whatever.

Ile thought it unfair to take this money from the people, if is could be 'amain that the object for which it was wanted might be attained in another way. In the lint 'dace he should nay, take a portion Of the Church point sty : but if the House would not go with lino in that, then he *Mudd advise anether plan.

Gentleman (Mr. Peel) had 1 , alluded to it as an example of the great want of diuretic,' that ex isted. f hit of a population of littl,onn inhabitants, 14,100 only could be accommodated at church. 'Manchester WWI a very religious community, and a public meeting was called to consider of the pro priety of the inhabitants availing thernselvcs of the oiler of the tot sionera for building churches to erect either two or three in their town, and the oiler was retinas' by an immense majority, ' although the clergy and boroughreeve brought all their friends to vote for it, and the meeting was called by the church wanlens. Ile had, on a future day, a petition to resent on this subject, sup ported by allegations. The party favonrable to the Commits stoners' offer, availed themselves of Mr. Sturges Bourne's I Kill to get ri d of their opponents by exclusion, and a letter was written to Lord Sithnouth on thesubject, notwithstanding the over powering majority, and the Commissioners determined to build churches' there, which arc now not half full. Under all these cir. cunistanees, lie maintained that there had been no ground made out for the grant. I,I*SIIINGTON explained. Mr. El. BANK EN spoke in favour of the grant. Mr. %V. tsMITII opposed it. lord P.11.111:ItSTI tN said that he would not detain the Coin. mines long. 'I% hen the finances of the country were in an unpro mising state, a million was borrowed fur the purpow of building, churches. which million was added to the public debt; but now that there wax a surplus beyond the expenditure, and there war a sum that did not come Into, the trace that wax prolapsed to be set apart for this purpose, the House wax desired to 161113'.... What could give rist to this change of opinion he could not imagine; but he was quite convinced that the nereasity existed for new churches in an ample degree. Fr llllll to 1821 there had been an increase of three millions in the population. %Veit it proposell th.,t the people should he deprived of all religintia instr ' uction or was it pmianed to throw them into the hands of sectarian s ? tor one of the two consequences moat follow. Ile had no animosity towards disaenterx, and wished them to enjoy the follent toleration; hut I he did not wish to see the increase of dissenters, and therelipre would vote for this grant. Ile wished that the Established Church should not only be an establialied butt a predominant Church. On I the point of' education, it should be understood that reading and writing were merely the means, and not the object of it. In Scotland we beheld the peaceful triumph of the law. In Ireland it was broken by violence and uninterrupted outrage. This dif. ference was attributable to the lower illassea of the ticotch having had proper principles instilled into them by the exemplary COllllllct of their pastors. The I 'hutches of the land were the best schools for education. The discussion on this rentilut ion bad been carried on to such a length that he would not protract it. Mr. WHIN IN ruse, amidst loud - cries of "Question!" and great signs of impatience. Ile said that he would intrude on the but for a few momenta. If he had had any doubt as iodic vote which he should give, it had been partially removed by the speech of the learned Civilian who sat below hum (Dr. Isolating ton ). If any had remained at the conclusion of that speech, it had been entirely removed by the observations of the lion. Member for Montrose, who had wandered strangely into every subject but the question before the Cot 1111 l intr. lie wan not at all favourable to thoselhasentera and Peripatetic Missionaries, who roamed about from house to house, pretending to auperior sanctity. Ile thought that the present was an age of cant and hypocrisy ; but that that cant and hypocrisy did not proceed from the member% of the Esta blished (thian+, but from what were called evangelical preachers ; and it was for the purpose of destroying the influence of those poachers, that he should most heartily vote fur the resolution. (Cheers.) The c.ies of question were now univenial and vehement.— Strangern were ordered or withdraw, and the !Iowa: divided ; when there appeared— " For the resolution . . - 148 Against it - - - . 59 Majority - - --89 RUM AND SUGAR DUTIES.

The Mositcur has a h ngtheneel ex planation of the grounds of the " project "of law for the' septennial duration of the Chamber of lb puttee:, presented by the Minister of the Interior to the Chamber on last Monday, with the same details given by the Keeper of the Seals, and the Minister of War, relative to the other changes announced by them on the same day.—Ferdinand of Spain, it appears, quake' Madrid for Aranjues, on the. 7tll, escorted by large detachments of French Cavalry. The French General, Bourniont, had previously sent for ward a great part of the troops who garrisoned Madrid, to the alarm of the inhabitants, who remain exposed to new persecutions. The translation of the remains of the Cure' I'ineesa, assassinated by the populace of that vile capital, in May, IW2I, which took place on the day the tyrant quitted Madrid, added to the alarm of the inhabitants. New decrees of proscription were expected to be issued by the perfidious despot and his satellites from Aranjdrez, heavier and more extended than any yet sent forth. Already those who we're attached to the national militia, or who in any way, while the reign of liberty lasted. shewed themselves at all favourable to the Constitutional system, have been obliged to fly. The pro scription embraces almost every individual engaged in busi ness, and few houses or shops were open on the day of the tyrant's entry. The answer given to our Ambassador, to his " Memorandum," on the subject of South America, was generally spoken of at Madrid. The Spanish Govern ment, it is stated, refuses to make any declaration on this important question, without the sanction of the confede rated powers of the " Holy Alliance." Orders are said to have been despatched to the local authorities of Biscay and St. Sebastian, to calculate and make returns of the losses experienced by the inhabitants of the latter city, during its storm and sack by our troops in the month of August, ; so as to set off, if possible, this trumps! claim against the peremptory demand, made from our Govern ment to the Spanish Ministry, of several millions of francs, as indemnity to our merchants for the piracy committed in the Atncrican seas, on our trade., by Spanish cruisers. This is a tolerable specimen of the justice and honesty of the " crew" now at the head of affairs in Spain, but it will not succeed with our Ministry. The demand, if not con ceded, will be enforced, and Spanish vessels seized as an indemnity. Commissaries of Police from Madrid had ar rived in the provinces, for the purpose of carrying into efl'ect the decrees commanding the disarming of the Royal Volunteers. itt the attempt to reduce those of Logrono, it became necessary to despatch a body of French troops against them. The armed Volunteers, to the number of more than a thousand, issued in battle array from the town, and took a position on the heights. On the cavalry advancing to charge them they dispersed at once, without a single shot being tired ; iso of the mutineers were subse quently arrested and thrown into the prisons. The Aug... Sag; Gazille contains accounts front Trieste to the '2 nth March, which confirm the revolt of Miltemed Ali, the Paclia of Egypt. The vessels despatched from Constantinople by the Turkish Government to Alexandria, for the usual supply of grain, had returned empty. The news of the surrender of Patras to the Greeks, spread in the t htomati capital at the same time., completed the consternation of the Divan. The Grand Vizier was dangerously ill, and visited con stantly by the Sultan. New persecutions, it appears, have arisen against the unprotected Greeks. The venerable Bishop of Ilitaglia, among the rest, was seized by the fell agents of the infernal despotism, and dragged, by the ex press orders of the Sultan, in chains tot 'onstuntineTle. A general rising is stated to have taken place throughout the greater part of Albania. The people rose suddenly on their 'tyrants, and expelled the Turkish authorities, who we re immediately replaced by natives eel the country.

NORTH (OAST OE NEW HOLLA The infinite advantages of this to Great Britain must be manifest to every one, on consulting the chart of the New ‘Vorld, which our British navigators, the pioneers of civi lintion, have opened to the spirit of British enterprise. blimp of war set sail a file weeks shoe, with despatches and instructions for the accomplishment of this most important expedition. This mission and its object was within our knowledge at the time, but we most sou pulously abstained from observing upon it, being aware of what moment it was that the utmost secresy should be ob served, lest the active j,atousy of the Descn should be • roused by any intelligence dust might get abroad previous to the sloop's departure. She is now far enough on her destination to render all further precaution needless, and our further silence on the subject becomes no longer neces sary. Perhaps no point of settlement could have been se lected better adapted than that which has been here chosen, for the establishing an intercourse with these valuable Eastern Islands, among which we have at resent no pos session. It was the sound policy of acquiring one which led to the settlement projected to his Majesty's Government by au individual every way qualified to appreciate its value, and which was adopted by Lord lIATIIeass, with a decision that does the highest credit to hie discernment. The DSIJ,, having hitherto had no rival, have consequently cligross.ll the whole trade in those quarters, and were visibly inclined to act upon the same principle which influenced them previously to the late war, of totally excluding ourimerehants from all share in their profitable monopoly. The inclination of the natives of those islands are well known to be favourable to the English, which not only makes the present expedition more politic, but makes it an object of much readier attainment. It will be seen by the charts that the access is easy, the anchorage good, and the communication with Ports JACKSON, the CAlq. OF GOOD HOPE, ate ISLE OF FRANCE, CHINA, and I stun, is immediate; the situation being nearly central. The Aroo Islands, Banda, Amboyna, ('cram (or the Celebes), Timor, and New Guinea, are all within a few days sail of the new settlement. The Guts , 0 I. CARPENTARIA abounds with a species of sea-slug, called by the Malaya Trepan;;, or Arch dr Mer ; and the im mense quantity brought from that place annually by the, Macassar proaa, is a course of most lucrative traffic to the, Dutch, as it yields an extraordinary profit when taken to China. The number of ye sselsannually engaged in the traffic of this article alone amounts to from 30 to to, of an average, burthen of 100 tons. Now if this valuable commodity is estimated at the low average of 14 dollars per cwt., its im portance as an article of merchandise is easily seen. Another article, likewise of very considerable trade, is Girth nests, which, from the gelatinous substances of which they are constructed, are in great request in China, where they are dissolved into a rich soup, and, thus prepared, rank with the richest ingredients of domestic cookery. The trade for the Ile I. e or CARPENTARIA will be the same as BATAVIA. To those acquainted with the local situation of these islands, it will be uncucessary to point out the incalcu lable benefits to be derived from the barter of commodities, and for the opening which they offer for commercial ar rangements to an immense extent. From this Gulf a considerable trade may likewise be opened through Torres Straits to Solomon's Archipelago, which abounds with tortoise-shell, mother-o'pearl shells, and other valuable products; thence to New Guinea, cut side of Gilolo, south side of Timor, the island of Tenembcr, and, in short, to all the EAMTERN ARCHIPELAGO. The produce of the islands consists of tortoise-shell, mother-o'-pearl, wax, sandal-wood, nutmegs, gums of various sorts, besides other articles of considerable value, fitted to find a ready market in every country in Europe. These distant repositories, when laid open to the skilful search of English merchants, may possibly discover substances, hitherto disregarded, of the utmost utility in our manufactures, and which the present advanced state of ehymistry may render of infinite service to the arts. We regret that the want of room obliges us to postpone our further detail as to this new settlement, which, from its great importance, demands more than common attention. ►►'e shall resume the subject in our next. Mr. Hume last night opposed the vote for the Kildare ' street Society. The Hon. Gentleman stated that the opinions of the Catholic Clergy and laity were decidedly opposed to the system of education adopted by that Society. Mr. Hume distinctly stated that he did not object to grant money for education generally, for he was convinced no sums could, if well applied, be better employed. The fact is, that the system adopted by Mr. Jackson, Mr. Warren, Sergeant Lcfroy, and others who lead at the Meetings of the Kildare-street Association in Dublin, as applied to the people of Ireland generally, are most mis- : taken. Education, on the principles thew adopt, never will be ace: ned or diffused. The Catholic Prelates and Clergy of Ireland arc unchangeably opposed to making the Scriptures—without note or comment—a school book for every-day perusal; and in these objections they are supported Ly the most celebrated Fathers of the Christian Church, and a number of the most distinguished Pro trstant prelates and divines. Nothing is likely to arise f ront t h e uninstructed perusal of the Scriutures, but the most perverted fanaticism. It is not a book fitted for the hands of the ignorant or of children; sublime as arc many of the lessons of morality it conveys, they are detailed in language :there the comprehension of those who compose the attendants of these gratuitous schools. A number of wor►s infinitely more suited to their comprehension, and better formed to instruct them, may b: circulated in these schools: but we are ourselves persuaded that nothing but fanaticism and delusion can follow from the circulation of the Scriptures among uneducated individuals, without note or comment. Mr. Butterw•o:tlh declared his opinion, that nothing bet scriptural education could he of benefit, mud that any other system must be mischievous. The petition of the Catholic Bishops, Mr. Butterworth added, in much too severe language, was a reflection on Christianity, and a libel on the word of God. The Ho nourable Member, for whose opinions and intentions we have the highest respect, will, we arc sure, on calmer reflection, regret his having made such charges against this most reveetable body. We lament that Mr. Butt - v. worth and the Catholic Prelates end Clergy of Ireland are not better acquainted. We wish that vhtn freed from his Parbamentary duties, the Honour.*le :think( r would go over to Ireland, and, exercising his own juds,- ment, Sc.. things without bias or prejudice, as they r say - are, and form Lis !pinions accordingly. A ft to friendly (wife:owes with the excellent and enlighttt ed teen at tlet head of the tathohe church in Ireland, would tlo mut% towards corn. cting Mr. Ilutterworth's prejudices. ant: re move many of the idea, he has aow adopt"! unfortu mte!y. prel , te- and rierg:. of Irela:al, tar from !wile! opposed to the ellucation of tln , peoph-, are net an3Cll: . that its invalualtl2 lit nails shouhl le t:iffused as It idely r. posAble : from thtir own Fiend( r incomes they rcatriLt;; , • constantly, and largely, for such rurpeses.

But a vast dial 111f4 might be done if the large funds voted by Parliament- - and now sunk in melt ss charter schods and idle ittlempts at proselytism—were fairly and well niVitd. In• t ote to the Kildare-street Association was last iti;:lit again carrier!. and we only regret that funds. which might be made invaluable, have not devolved into better n ls. We wish, as we said before, that Mr. Butterwort![, who f'etb , so strongly on this question, would this summer spend a couple of months in Ireland, and examine its real situatior, without any prejudice : his feelings, we are confith would be very different on his return from what they note . are ' and we should find him a convert to our mode C: thinking, which, after all. is a true and just one. On the vote of fifty thousand pounds bring proposed lai.t night, for the purchase of paintings for a ratioual gallery, Sir John Wrottesley made some pointed cud severe allu sions to what he justly eal!cel " the paltry and scandaL;t extortions" practised by the Dean and Chain( rof Westmio ster, in exacting small sums for showing this fine Ahhey to strangers. Mr. Henry Grey Bennet asked whether the removal of the venerable monuments within the ALbey might not, under such circumstances, be aelviseable? will • Mr. Monck expressed his doubts as to the right of the Dean and Chapter to shut the doors of the Abbey agaitLit the public at all. The petty extortions so long practise 1 in England for the exhibition of all public places bay,. been often reprobated, and are the disgrace of this country. A stranger on coming to London cannot view the Tower, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, or even the Monument, without paying, in succession, for each. Foreigners never mention these extortions without indignation and disgust. The British Museum is the only public foundation open to general view without impositions of this sort at the doors ; and even Mere access to the library and manuscripts is nn &Ted so difficult, that it amounts, in fact, to a prohibition. Ilow differently are those things conducted on the Conti nent ! In Rome, the splendid Church of St. Peter's, the halls and galleries of the Vatican, the different convents and churches, rich with the treasures of art, and the Pale palaces in and about Rome, are all open to strangers the public, without interruption or fee of any sort. At Florence, its beautiful gallery is thrown open in the settle way. In Paris, strangers are at all times admitted to tb • Louvre, to the Bibliothtque de Roi, to the Jardin des l'lantes, to the Institute, to the Tuileries, the Palace of Versailles, and all other places of the same description, without fee or demand of any sort being required. If,— • nothing can be seen without money; not one fee but many are exacted—paltry extortions of the most degrad ing description ! The house of even a private noblenent cannel be viewed without heavy contributions to the liv, - ried retainers that throng every chamber. We are strol:;•!e inclined, with Mr. Monck, to doubt the right of the D:41 . 1 and Chapter of Westminster to close this venerable Abbe y against the public ; they possess ample revenues, inde pendent of the unworthy contributions they levy by the exhibition ; the Church and its monuments arc the pro perty of the public, who have a right to unlimited admit tance. These disgraceful extortions have existed too lo:q: : they are never spoken of by foreigners, in this country abroad, hut with merited reprobation ; and the subject having been mentioned more than once in Parliament, v.: hope these contemptible exactions will at length be Put an end to by competent authority. Common justice and tL: character of the country both call for the extinction el such an usage, which no continuance, however lengthened, can excuse or sanction.
