THE very numerous and continued visits 11. with which so many of the NOBILITY and GENTRY have honoured the " EMPORIUM" have rendered that Magazin des Modes universally proverbial, not only for its FASHIONABLE ASSORTMENTS and variety of SPLENDID ARTICLES, but also for its un paralleled cheapness and undeviating adherence to the prices advertised or affixed ; the latter circumstances, so rare in the present manceuvering days (originating from Adver tisements published solely for the obvious purpose of in viting and alluring the Public, without the intention or even the means of supplying the articles at the specified prices), whereby some of the truly national and beneficial objects of " subverting nefarious and demoralizing systems" are embraced, as the distinguished patronage already con ferred upon those endeavours demonstratively prows, awl is most conclusive of its pre-eminent and envied superio rity, thereby rendering. any thing beyond the respectful and grateful acknowledgments of t' - e Proprietors almost suiserfluous ; but notwithstanding Messrs.

On Sunday last, a Sermon was preached at the Parish Church of St. Martin in the Fields, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of BATH and Nirxx.Ls, for the benefit of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear. His Lordship delivered an excellent discourse on the bene ficial effects of the Charity, the benevolent views of which are not confined to the inhabitants of the metropolis, but extend to every individual. Since its establishment in 1816, upwards of 7,950 patients have been admitted, 3,120 cured, and 2,330 relieved, including many cases of Deaf and Dumb, for perhaps, it is not generally known that follows. After the sermon, several Deaf an d Dumb when Deafness occurs in early infancy, D um b ness a lways Chil dren, who had obtained their hearing and speech by the means employed at the Dispensary, presented themselves at the vestry, accompanied by their parent.. Mr. Crayfer presented accounts of Wool, Corn, &c., imported for the last year. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved that certain persons be allowed to attend the Select Committee, to give evidence in the Coal Trade of London. Lord ROSSLYN moved that the Duke of Newcastle Lind Lord Rolle be permitted to enter their Protest, as Dis sentients on the Second Reading of the Bill for the Relief of the Roman Catholics, before two o'clock to-morrow. The Marquis of ANGLESEA had several petitions, some against clauses in the Bill for relieving the Catholics, some referring to the conduct of an individual in the other House, and all generally against the Disfranchisement Bill. The Noble Marquis felt he should he eeonomizing the time of their Lordships if, at the present _moment, he was permitted to say a few words with . respect to these petitions ; having stated his opinion, he thought it would be better that he should say nothing on the petitions afterwards. First, he did not believe the Bill would alter the situation of the clergy of Ireland, he should therefore wish the clause in that respect to be ex punged altogether. Then, as to an individual, who had i t in "'le: Asper to create inconvenience, that person had nothing to do but to go up to the other House and refuse to take the oath, though the Noble Marquis under stood he had no intention of doing so, and their Lord ships might then be amused with another Clare election. Then, as to the Jesuits, they were, in his opinion, a very useful body in the instruction of youth. He trusted they would not be suppressed, and that the young men of Ireland will still have the advantage of their instruction, but not be Jesuits. Another part of greater importance than any was the disfranchising of the forty-shillin g freeholders. Was it necessary that 480,000 freeholders should be deprived of their vested rights on ac count of the vices of the system ? The system might be amended like other systems. This was his feeling. It appeared that the forty-shilling fieeholders had been approved of—as long as they submitted to be driven up to the hustings like a flock of sheep to the shambles, no complaints were made. The system was then suffered to go on ; but the moment the people found out the value of their rights, and exerted them in a constitutional though an inconvenient way, that moment show rights were to be swept out of political existence. Having said thus much, he would invite the Ministers of the Crown to reconsider the ob noxiens clauses; he hoped that they might yet be omitted, and that the Bill might not be pressed forward against the forty-shilling freeholders. The system might be practi cally inconvenient ; and though it might require amend • anent, it was not therefore necessary that the franchise should be abolished. Notwithstanding the objections he had stated to these clauses, and to the Bill for disfranchising the forty-shilling freeholders, it was not his intention, as he did not consider them of paramount importance, to do any thing to impede the progress of the great and impor tant measure, which he conscientiously believed was ne cessary to the prosperity, if not to the safety of the em pire. Having stated his objections, and his determination not to take part in the proceedings at any future stage of the Bill, unless by giving his silent rote, the Noble Mar quis concluded by presenting a petition from the Roman Catholics of the city of Waterford, against the clause in the Catholic Relief Bill relating to the religious orders. IThe Marquis of LONDONDERRY was anxious to say a few words in relation to the Bill that was read a second time on Saturday, on several accounts. As he understood that Bill, it was to settle the question defini tively; but if it hail contained any securitis, any restric tions, they would have been left as a legacy to the suc cessors of the Noble Duke, who would have to make other concessions. He had hoped the Catholic Clergy would have been provided for—and he believed they would wil lingly accept a provision that would have connected them with the State, and would have given both the Govern ment and the Church the best security they could have. The Noble Marquis read some passages, but whether they were parts of a speech or of a letter we could not tell, in support of his opinion. He believed, if the mea sure of relief had been carried at the Union with Ireland, it would have been better for the two countries ; but it was not in the power of the Ministers then to accomplish it—it was reserved for that Illustrious Individual who had been able to bring the people to that decision which bad been shewn by the votes of their representatives, and who had been able to guide their Lordships to that conclusion they had come to by so large a majority on Saturday even ing. He could have wished, and he believed that this was the general opinion in Ireland, that the qualification had been raised to 151. or 201. His Lordship also objected to the power given to the Assistant Barristers under the Disfranchisement Bill, and he said he hoped that Ministers would take care of the landed interest which was involved by the power given under the Bill to the Assistant Barrister. The Noble Marquis then ad verted to the disturbances which bad existed in Ire land during the last year, which he said had been, he thought, partly caused by the countenance some of the members of the Catholic Association had received at the Castle, which, without its being so intended, had the effect of making the people of the North of Ireland suppose that there was a degree of undue partiality shewn to the Catho lics. The Noble Marquis concluded a speech that was very imperfectly heard below the bar, in consequence of there being much conversation within the bar, by com plimenting the Duke of Wellington, and by complimenting the Noble Lords on the cross benches, who, though they were now opposed to him, had formerly been united with him, and had guided the country through many difficulties. The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented two other peti tions from the county of Louth against the Disfranchise ment Bill. Lord CARBERY was astonished at the ingratitude of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. At the very moment that they were receiving the boon they had so long asked for, they came forward to petitio n th at t h ey m i g h t reta i n t h e power to do mischief. Ile felt their ingratitude, and could not help expressing his indignation. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE defended the Roman Catholics. The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented the remainder of his petitions—in all seventeen—on the different subjects he had mentioned in his speech —some of them also being against the Vestry Act. Viscount CLUDENpresnrited a petition from the Secu lar Clergy of the Diocese of Ferns, and a second petition from some place in Ireland, against the Clauses of the Re lief Bill that relate to the Jesuits. Earl GREY presented a petition from Wellingborough, in favour of the Catholics; and a petition from Mr. George Ensor, against the Disfranchisement Bill, which, the Noble Etrl said, was well worthy of their Lordships' at tention, as it was well drawn up, and proved that the in dividual, whom be did not know, was a person of consider able intelligence, and stated his argument in a forcible manner. Lord MANSFIELD did not think it generally proper, in presenting a petition, to discuss the subject to which the petition referred. But at the same time he thought it right to do so on the present occasion, if the petitioner prayed to be heard by counsel. Earl GREY stated, that the petitioner did not prey to be heard by counsel. The petition was then laid on the table. Methodists in S out h war k , Lord FARNHAM presente d a pet i t i on aga i n st conces sion to the C a th o li cs , f rom a congrega ti o n of W e sl e y an signed Rey 556 persons; and he understood that thi s was to b e f o ll owe d by p e titions to th e same effect from all th: , congregations of Wesleyan Metho dists in London. fits Lordship presented a petition to the same effect from the Mayor, Sheriff, and Citizens of the Corporation of Dublin, under their corporation seal ; also petitions to the same effect from the corporation of tailors in Dublin; and from the Protestants of the county a nd city of Kilkenny. His Lordship also presented a pe tition to the same effect from the managers, directors, and teachers of the free school in Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square, in the parish of St. Pancras. The petitions were laid on the table. The Earl of ELDON presented petitions against con cessions to the Catholics, from freeholders of the county of Brecon ; from the Wesleyan Methodists in the town of Buckingham ; from c ert a i n inhabitants of Hampstead ; from the parish o f D rys d a l e, i n t h e coun ty of Dumf r i es ; from the parish of Ladykirk, in Scotland; from a pariah Lord LITTLETON had a petition to presant on the sume subject ; but before he presented it, he requested the attention of the House to an explanation which he was about to give with reference to what he had mentioned to the House respecting Dr. Forrester He had been in formed by authority upon which he had placed the most implicit reliance, that Dr. Forrester had encouraged the circulation of a most improper placard or hand-bill in his parish, awl lie thought it his duty to mention the circum stance when the petition from this part was presented. He had on Saturday a letter from Dr. Forrester, in which he explicitly disclaimed all knowledge of the placard in question, or its circulation. He felt it to be the duty of a Member of Parliament, when he was convinced that he had been mistaken in any statement which he made, to take the earliest opportunity to set the matter right. He was verYlsorry for the mistake into which he had fallen with respect to the Rev. Prebendary ; and he hoped that this explanation and justification of the Rev. Prebendary would circulate as widely as the imputation, which he had, through mistake, cast on, the worthy Clergyman.—(Hear, hear.)—He hoped this explanation would prove satisfac tory, and fully clear the character of the Rev. Prebendary. His Lordship then presented two petitions in favour of Concession to the Catholics ; one from the Catholics of Washington, and another from the Protestants of the same place, to the same et - rect.—Laid on the table. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from a place called Butlers-town, in Ireland, against the Free holders' Qualification Bill. Lord PLUNKETT presented a petition from Dublin, in favour of concession to the Catholics. Lord MOUNTCASHE[, presented petitions against concession to the Catholics, from the Editor, Publisher, lice. of the Birmingham Journal, and from a Congrega tion of Presbyterian Protestants, in the county of Antrim. The congregation consisted of 1,000 families, of whom no more than 30 were favourable to the removal of the Co tholic disabilities. His Lordship also presented a petition to the same effect from the Managers and Teachers of the Sunday Schools in the Western District of the Metropolis, signed by 306 persons, nmoe of them being under 16 years —nor females. These persons felt themselves very much interested in this subject, as to which they were very ca pable of forming a sound judgment, and the petition, therefore, WB3 of great importance, and worthy of parti cular attention. The petitions were laid on the table. Lord SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Woodstock against concession to the Catholics. Lord LONGFORD presented three petitions to the same effect from the counties of Nottingham, Donegal, and Dublin. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions from Aberdeen and Montrose in ftrour of concession to the Catholics. Lord HOLLAND presented petitions to the same effect from certain Dissenters in the county of Suffolk, &e. The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition from Sheffield against concession to the Catholics. The Duke of SUSSEX had a petition - To present to morrow against concession to the Catholics (as we un derstood) from certain of the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Ely. It was signed by two persons, who were sup posed to have no right to sign it, and one of them htd ex pressed a wish to withdiaw his name. Earl DARNLEY presented a petition from a Roman Catholic Bishop and Clergy in the county of Meath in favour of the Catholics. Lord FARNHAM objected to this on the ground of irregularity, as he doubted whether a Roman Catholic Bishop had a right to present a petition in that character. Earl DARNLEY consented to withdraw the petition. Earl DARNLEY took the opportunity, on presenting a petition from the Roman Catholics of Wicklow, against the Sub-letting Act, to state that both the Roman Catholic Clergy and LlitY would be too well satisfied with the Bill of Relief, the second reading of which took place on Sa turday, to insist upon auy minor objects. .

It has been truly said " That the method in which the Greek and Latin Languages are usually taught is bad. According to the present mode the memory, and not tl:e judgment, is too much exercised, and thus the learner's mind becomes a mere Word Book. If in teaching lan guages, professors would condescend to teach not from books, but from the beat of all teachers, the natural habits of the human mind, they will soon discover the true method in which language ought to be taught; in a word, in the same way in which a child acquires his mother tongue; by obtaining, first of all, the names of the commonest and simplest objects, and their connections, and proceeding gradually to their combination into phrases and sentences." On this plan the Speaking Latin Vocabulary is constructed. Printed for Sherwood, Gilbert, and Paper. SHAW'S PARISH-OFFICERS' GUIDE.

The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented a petition from certain Freeholders of Middlesex and Surrey, in favour of the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland. It was his Lordship's firm conviction that a modification of the sys tem prevailing in England would be beneficial to Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK, without meaning any disre spect to the Noble Earl, begged to say that an opinion that any system of Pcor Laws would benefit Ireland, could only be founded upon the grossest ignorance. The Earl of MALMESBURY insisted that it was an anomaly not to be justified, that the poor of Ireland should be supported by England. He was one of th , ig norant persons who entertained the opinion that Poor Laws ought, in justice to this country, to be introduc(d into Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK remarked that according to the showing of the Noble Lords, the Poor Laws were to be introduced into Ireland for the advantage of England, and in order that she might be relieved from the burden of maintaining the poor Irish. The Duke of HAMILTON adverted to the hardship of the situation of Scotland, as regarded the influx of poor from Ireland : those who could not find subsistence at home poured into Scotland in such numbers, that mere justice to that country required that something should be done for her relief from the burden. The Noble Viscount opposite (Melville) had objected last year to a measure which would tend in some degree to remedy the netorious and crying evil, although it certainly depended upon dif ferent grounds. Scotland required nothing more than was just and reasonable ; he had communications from the western part of e that country, which filled him with alarm : a mass of forty thousand destitute people existed there, two-thirds of i whom were not natural-born Scotchmen. He contended that it was the bounden duty of Govern ment to afford some relief. Lord FARNHANI was not one of the landed proprie tors of Ireland who would object to the introduction of a regulated system of Poor Laws, although he admitted that he was not so well acquainted with the South of Ire land. Lord MELVILLE had opposed the Bill of last year, referred to by the Noble Duke, because it enacted one system of law for the natives of Scotland, and another for the natives of England and Ireland—a principle quite at variance with the Legislative linion between the two countries. After a few words from the Duke of HAMILTON, the Earl of IlloiniTcAineL, Lord CAABERY, Lord Ross- LYN, and Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE, the petition was laid upon the table. DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Irish Freeholders' Disfranchisement Bill having been read, The Duke of WELLINGTON spoke as follows :—lt is nowliny duty to state to your Lordships the nature of the other measure which it has been the duty of Govern ment to propose to Parliament, in cenformity with the re commendation in the Speech from the Throne—namely, the Bill to regulate the Franchise of persons to rote for Members of Parliament in counties in Ireand. The Irish Act of 1793 gave Roman Catholics the power of voting for Members of Parliament; and very shortly after that date it appears that the evil commenced which has now grown t.) such magnitude, that, fire years ago, it drew the attention of Parliament to it; and it was then thought necessary to take some measures to apply a remedy. I believe that, shortly after the paring of the Act of 1793, certain persons in possession of leases for one or more lives, under grants from so•ne of the great proprietors in Ireland, commenced the system of granting free holds by virtue of their leases. This was done for the pur pose of creating fur themselves political end Parliamentary influence; and I am afraid that it laid the ground for the example being followed by others, their superiors in station, their superiors in fortune, and their superiors in intelli gence. No doubt the system has since been extended to an enormous degree ; in Ireland there are many more freeholders than are necessary for the freedom of election upon any well-regulated principle, and many of the at tendants upon the system are such as to have become the general subject of complaint throughout the country.— (Hear, heat`)--The persons who have become entitled by the abuse of the power of making freeholders to vote fo Members of Parliament are, as appears by the proceed. ings of a Committee of your Lordships' House and of the House of Commons, of the very lowest cease of society.-- (Hear.) —ln making out their right to vote, in possessing themselves of their freeholds, and in all the circumstances attending the transaction, perjury is committed) the people are demoralised in every stage of th e p rocee ding ; and on that account atone, i f on no other, the subject dos serves the most serious attention. But, it appears, betides, fi om the Reports of the same Committee., that these people are not at all sensible of the advantages attending the free.. holds they possess, but cannot be said to enjoy. The law re quires that they should register the freehold 12 months before they vote : if they were sensible of the advantage of the right of voting, your Lordships might suppose that they would willingly attend for the purpose of registration and pay the expense , which I believe amounts to one shilling. It is well known that they will net pay even that charge —that it is paid by the landlord, by tlie candidate, or by some club interested in procuring vote for a particular individual. It appears also by the evidence taken before the same Committees that they are forced, absolutely driven, to give their votes at elections—that they are reckoned, in fact, part of the live stock of the estates,' add that they are hardly treated like human beings.—(Cheers.) On these grounds also, if no ethers could be stated, it must be obvious that some change is necessary. As I said before, these freeholds were originally formed for the purpose of giving political and Parliamentary influence t ccertain individual ; but latterly, and more palliculari since those Committees mad e their reports, it appear the the influence resulting from the system I have been slete scribing has fallen into the hands of persons in whose pose session there can be no doubt the Legislature never in tended that any political power or Parliamentary influence should be found—l mean the priests.--(Hear, hear.) — The continuance of such influence in such hands would be highly detrimental to the public interest, under what ever system we should continue to govern that part of the United Kingdom. But when we consider the measure that was adopted the other night, there can be no doubt that this evil ought not to be allowed to continue. After the vote of Saturday night, I may safely say in this [louse, that if a Roman Catholic gentleman possess pro• perty and talents to enable him to serve his country and to entitle him to a seat in Parliament, it is desirable that he should have one.—(Cheers.) —But I am sure there is not one of your Lordships who will not agree with me that it is not desirable that he should obtain: that seat by the exertion of Popish or religious influence.—(General cheers. )—I say, therefore, that on this ground it is fit that the Bill I now propose should be passed into a laves I would Ilewise beg your Lordships to observe, that ooe of the objects which I particularly held out some nights, ago, when I recommended another measure to your no tice, was the desire I felt to put an end to combinations— illegal combinations, in Ireland. Those illegal combina tions are founded upon religious opinions. I beg your Lordships to advert to the advantages and to the induce ments held out for the formation of such combinations if we are to continue that policy of law which now exists in tliet country.--(;Hear.)--Therefore I proceed with confi dence to entreat your Lordships to consider tLis system, and, in order to change it, to adopt the measure the second reading of which lam about to propose. I know it Way be asked, " If you take away from the forty-skilling free holders their right of voting, why do you not adopt the same course with regard to the same class of electors in England ?" But I beg of you to look at the difference in the situation of freeholders in England and of those who are called by the same name in Ireland. In Eng land, I am aware that the freeholders for life come to tho poll to vote, but in general they are persons really pos sessing land to the value of forty shil ings a year; and they, besides, are rated, and pay the land tax. They are able to show for what amount they purchased their property, and moreover they do not receive assistance from the pout's-rate, unless engaged in actual service iii the Militia. I beg your Lordships to compere the sort et . persons composing the Militia and forming the body of small freeholders in England with those persons in Ireland, and to mark the difference between them; and in order to enable you to do so, I will read a statement respecting those who have been recently registered in Ireland, and from that statement you may convince yourselves of the truth of what 1 say. In the county of Antrim, in the North of Ireland, there have been registered since 1822, 6,126 forty-shilling freeholders, of whom 1,798 could not write their names. In the county of Armegh, since the same period, there have been registered 8,813 forty shilling freeholders, and of these 3,590 could not write their names. In the following counties, C.e proportion of freeholders registered since 1822, who could not write their names,has somewhat varied from those in the counties I have already mentioned. In the county of Clare the num• bens registered were 10,753, of whom 3,855 could not write their names, In the county of Limerick 4,682 have been registered, and those who could not write their names amounted to 3,356. In the county of Mayor 21,672 freeholders have been registered, and of that num ber 195205—(A laugh)—could not write their names ; and in Waterford 5,335 have been registered, and 3,420 of that number could not write their names. Nov, my Lords, I think I can confidently say that that is not the case with the small freeholders of England. I come now to another objection which has been raised against this Bill ; and that is the number of freeholders in fee who will, by the operation of the proposed Bill, be deprived of the same rights as the other. From the return laid on the table of the House in 1825, your Lordships will be able to see the number of those small freeholders. In six counties there are none at all. In others there are but a few ; and the truth of the matter is, that in general in Ireland there none of that description. It happened that two years before the return was made, a clause was inserted in the Act of Parliament which en abled persons to register freeholds, and three wrie often registered without the persons claiming to register them being called on to produce their titles or to chew whether they held on leases for lives, or in fee, or without showing any ground whatever, except that the person was in the possession of the land. Neither did he show that he tilled it or grazed it, or for what other purpose he held it, but merely that he was liable to pay a quit rent for it. Among those persons who showed no right whatever to the freeholds, were those who came to vote, and whose votes could not legally be refused. But, my Lords, be sides these evils resulting from these tenures, there are other abuses connected with this particular description of freeholders, which well deserve your Lordships' attention. I have been informed that there are more instances than one of persons interested in the elections of Ireland, who having thus created a large number of freeholders under leases for lives, were doomed to disappointment in certain expectations, when, having found reason to believe that the elections would occur earlier than they expected, they have been compelled to transfer the freehold. in such a manner as to convert them from freeholds on lives into freeholds in fee, by which the fictitious freeholders, taking advantage of the registry required by Act of Parliament, have obtained freeholds in fee, instead of their fictitious freeholds, and thus the Act bas operated as a bounty on fraud. Now, really, my Lords, after a statement such as this, there can be no doubt that the exclusion of such per -130118 from the elective franchise is a measure that ought to be adopted. I know one or two other circumstances which warrant me in expecting your Lordships' support to this measure, but with the mention of which I will not trouble your Lordships at this moment. Besides, my Lords, this measure comes recommended not on!y as a re medy for evils that are now in existence, but it is benefi cial as providing the means of ascertaining the right of those persons who claim to vote in respect of their freeholds.— It provides that freeholders shall prove what is the value of the freehold in respect of which they claim to vote. It gives the mode of appealing to a Jury, and it affords guards such as we hope will satisfy your Lordships that we really wean only to provide a fair mode of discovering the rig 11, of persons entitled to vote at elections, and of persons interested in their result. I can assure your Lord ships, that it is not our wish or intention, nor would your Lordships consent if it were, to give an influence over elec tions into the hands of any particular class of persons.— Our wish is, that the possessor of hod should have as fair au influence under this system as under any other ; but we wish also nut only that the possessor of land should enjoy this advantage, :.:it that all other percons whose talents are such as to qualify them to serve the public, and who wish to exercise those talents by obtaining a seat in Pm - fief/tent, should have an equal chance of finding their way hither.— . more, my Lords, that this Bill be read x second The Dube of RICHMOND—It is not Without pain thi.t upon this, as well as upon the other Bill, I feel obliged to differ from the Noble Duke ; but I ant compelled to da so, because I look upon this Bill as a plan which, by one single enactment, goes to disfranchise a lane body of electors unaccused, unheard, cad unisonderaned; and for
