great national question, are .so complimentary, Yet at the same time so just, and so perfectly free, from adulation, that though somewhat too inn for li mits, g . - our we cannot forbear to extract th ee , " Just in the degree that we trembled at the crisis, from w hich we are now escaping, may be estimated our sense °f gratitude to him, who, having ' lurched all swords of t !'e garland,' has achieved this great civic victory of jus tice, mercy, and peace. Whilst the clergy seem groping about lit in the dark in all directions, we ftel pretty much a* w e suppose Ulysses did, when he was eluding the clutches of the bewildered Polyphente, (who at best had nut one eye, and that now extinguished), under the guid !trine of the Leader of the flock. The Duke has broken If upon their magic forest—the Mona defended with such D ruidical fury; and notwithstanding the mist and the ' , natt er i ng ., the unholy words and spectral forms, arrayed against his entrance, lie has pressed resolutely on to free ' h is spell-bound subject, and break the enchanter's wand. ' - nlonel Napier learned in Spain how the tenth legion ; l ame to worship Cwsrr ; and a greater than Caesar is who has not destroyed in peace the country he had saved by his sword. Untrammelled and uncommitted, "t More protected by his splendid expatriations, than a verse by nature from the paltering which had gangrened has vital que stion through its whole domestic bearings, he °as avnply repaid the universal respect with which all eyes 5 ° anxiously watched him whilst yet wrapped in his itn- Pelletrahle cloak. Although lie came new to a question en cornpassel by contention and complicated by finesse, he s aw that his- choice upon it was indeed the choice in what class of statesmen he should hereafter stand. Having car rieq-air the plate in military glory, he has refused, - in his n et' career, to - put himself into cart•horse harness.-:-to leave the company of the Turennes and Marlboroughs of t he Cabinet, and herd in the rear rank of our secondary among the Poloniuses and Ostics of the Court Denmark: The question certainly is not new to Mr. Peel ; his Present merit respecting it stands therefore on entirely dis tinct grounds, and yet is great. The reputation that he sequired whilst serving under his former colours, and his actu a l declaration that he has left them with reluctance, :ave . enabled himlo confer - it last an important benefit on ra -- eountry, by'avaistingHto heal , the wounds he had so "g kept open. A confession so announced must satisfy 1111 who can be satisfied, that it has became, in any view (4 it, the least of two evils. - We gladly pay him high '''terest for the 'aid - Which he is now giving to overthrow 4° Opposition, which he himself had mainly raised, con j4idated,and upheld. In such a case, when the last a ble ! s lalom who could be found to advocate the obsolete pre- Judicet of a powerful party, is bowled out by the strong llviction of necessity, lie must be prepared to undergo !!'e obloquy of the mob of followers who had made him t he representative of their opinions, and had put, as poll lietana, their whole moral and intellectual existence into 114 hands. Bat this privilege of scandal, within certain limits excusable enough, has been abused in a manner dis graeful to the Tory press, and to the party whom he pro vided with sense and speeches much longer than they de served. The imps whom he conjured up and fed as cam- Pinions and attendants, whilst lie continued the practice : 4 the s black art,' are now flying at him because he has l urnt his pernicious"books, and resolved to trust to the d espised faculty of human reason. Like Acton, his own ho unds are ready to devour hirn:—and for the same offence . - Opening his eyes. Nothing can show more forcibly that !r• 's understanding has got at length into its ► right Piane, than the different figure he is making this Session hi m the la s t; w hen, though none of the Tory pecking at ° ,1 ,1 1 had b e gun, and whilst the Whigs were extending to a most generous forbearance, a feather seemed drop- Ping off almost every night. Allowing for the dispropor tionate consequence he attaches to the turn of the scale in 4 Parliamentary division, over the weightier matters of t he question,, he has shown at the last equal judgment, ability, and temper. Not only has Mr. eel dealt use flly by the public, in undertaking tbe official superin tendence of the present measures; amidst great personal d ifficulties, we feel convinced he has also chosen that jilich, being the most fair and manly, ought to be the east painful and least unsatisfactory for himself. The choi ce could be to him only one of evils. He was in the ° ld British dilemma,,the sea befoie him, the barbarians behi n d . .

The company, who bad not finished setting down till half-past eleven o'clock, after paying their respects to the Royal host, passed through the State Rooms into the Grand Hall, and took their seats either on the chairs which were arranged in rows at the sides of the Hall, or passed up the grand staircase to the gallery at the south end, which contained seats for their accommodation. The staircase had a variety of the choicest plants placed in a continuous manner on one of its sides ; some of the rooms were also enlivened with groups of exotics.

MEIIIER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIA- MENT. University of Cambridge. William Cavendish, Master of Arts, in the room of Sir Nicolas Conyngliani Tindal, : Knight, who has accepted the office of Chief Justico of his Maje.ty's Court of Com mon Pleas. Windsor-Castle, June 22. A Chapter of the Most Noble Order of the Garter having been summoned for this day, the following Knights Companions, in their mantles and collars, assembled in the Entree-room, viz. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MISS Pursuant to adjournment the further inquiry into the circumstances attendant on the melancholy sui cide of this young lady were yesterday evening re sumed at the Town hall, Poplar, and, as on the former day, several persons attended to hear. the proceedings and learn their result. In our account of the antecedent day's proceed ings we omitted mentioning, that on the discovery of the body it was clothed in a muslin dress, on examining which the knife so often spoken of was discovered, together with some trinkets of trifling value, but no money. Of the witnesses summoned, Mr. Kirkham, the hotel-keeper; Mrs. Williams, of Sloane-square; and Mrs. Wells, of Sloane-street, in whose house the deceased and her sisters last lodged, being in at tendance, and the Jury having answered to their names, the further investigation commenced before Mr. UNwIN, the Coroner. Mr. Philip Kirkham examined—l am the pro— prietor of Kirkham's Hotel, arid I knew the de ceased and her sisters. They lodged with me for five weeks, and left my house on the Ist of April, 1829. While with me I saw no depression of spi rits about them, but, on the contrary, they appeared to me too high spirited for their pockets. To a Juror--I did not perceive the slightest evi dence of insanity. The ladies were very high spirited, especially the eldest, who was of a most resolute character. To another Juror—l ground this opinion on the fact of her taking up a poker whenever the small sums in which they were indebted were called for by their creditors, and placing herself near the fire place in a posture of defence. By the CORONER—YOH will confine yourself to the conduct of the deceased, Miss Hermandine, with that of her sisters we have nothing to do. Mr. Kirkham—The girl who is dead I always thought sensible. She used to come down fourteen or fifteen times a-day to my bar, and give her orders in a sensible and methodical manner, observing that all she wished was that she and her sisters should be treated like ladies. On the day they left my House they went to Hickinbotham's Hotel, where they were arrested. To the Jury—Mr. Dickinson called on me after they were in the Marshalsea, and I understood from him that he took an interest in their affairs. Seeing them so distressed, I proposed to make up a sub scription for them, and had obtained subscribers to the amount of near 30/., but they refused 016 con tributions in a scornful manner, saying that they were ladies, and would not accept of any charity. The CORONER (to the Jury)—Gentlemen, do yon think you have now sufficient testimony before you to s atisfy your minds as to the verdict you shall return ? Juror—From what we have heard during this in vestigation, it appears to me that the deceased and her sisters were ladies of a very high spirit, and that depressed in circumstances, and considering them selves degraded in rank, they were impelled to the rash attempt in which one of them perished. The Jury, on the Coroner's suggestion, their sentiments being by no means unanimous, withdrew to a private apartment, where they remained in close consultation, with closed doors, for about 20 minutes, when E. Roche, Esq., and Madame and Monsieur Jaunay, the most material witnesses, having arrived, the circumstance was communicated to them, and they returned to the inquest-room to hear their evidence. E. Roche, Esq., examined,—l am one of the pro prietors arid the joint editor of the Courier news paper. I was acquainted with the deceased Miss Hermandine Both. In March last she applied to our paper to insert a letter with respect to some money which Count Munster had received from the King for their use, and which then remained in his hands. The letter was_ not inserted for reasons I then mentioned, and I recommended that instead of its insertion I should write to Count Munster on its subject, and I did so. I received a very polite answer from the Count, who sent to me his private secretary, to explain his reasons for withholding the money until these ladies arrived in France; their circumstances were so bad, that they were twice taken to a gaol, arid this assuredly caused a great depression of spirits. I more frequently saw the deceased than either of her sisters. Their depres sion of spirits, I conceive, arose from disappoint ment, and their not receiving a sum of money to which they conceived they were justly entitled. They ,seemed to me to have been ladies highly brought up, but latterly they were so humbled in spirit that they applied to me to insert an advertisement in the Courier for even a menial situation. CORONER. —Are you of opinion that these cir circumstances combined led to the melancholy suicide of the young lady ? Mr. Roche.—l am decidedly so. (To a juror).— I saw the deceased three days before her death. I had then written to Mr. Rothschild, proposing the sale of a pension which they enjoyed from the Ha noverian Government, but he refused to purchase it, and the refusal may have added to their uneasi ness of mind. They came as I understand, to this country by the advice of the British resident in Switzerland, for the purpose of having the full amount of their pension restored, which, after the death of their father, was reduced to a trifling pittance. On their arrival at Paris, they were pennyless; and to raise means to defray their expences to England, they were compelled to mortgage it to a banker in that city. His Majesty transmitted 50/. to Count Munster, for their use; but he, I am informed, de clined paying the unexpended balance remaining in his hands until he was assured that they had arrived in Paris. I don't believe that they were for the last four days prior to Miss Hermandine's death wholly without food : they had not any of an animal kind. Madame Jaunay was the wife of the proprietor of the hotel of that name in Leicester-square ; she had known the deceased for some time; the last time she saw her was on the evening of Monday week; she called at an advanced hour at her house, and, after some hesitation, asked if she and her sisters could procure a boat at any hour they wanted it. She (witness) replied, that she thought she could. She then asked her to advance her some money, but this she refused, saying that she could not do so in the absence of her husband; but if, on his return home, he should consent to it, it should be sent to them in the morning. The deceased ob served, that that would be too late : she and her sisters, after remaining some time, departed at 10 o'clock, and while they remained, the deceased ap peared labouring under a great depression of spirits. Mr. Roche here observed, that as it might serve to satisfy the minds of the Jury, he would, with their permission, state a few circumstances which would tend to throw more light on the unfortunate occurrence. On the evening after it took place, in consequence of •a comMunication from Miss Both, he called upon her and her surviving sister, and from what they told him, he was assured there was no premeditated intention to commit suicide. They iaid, that on the day on which they were compelled to leave their lodgings in Sloane-street, they went to Jaunay's in the hope of procuring some assist ance. Being unsuccessful there, they wandered to Greenwich, where they endeavoured to procure a bed for the night. This would not be granted to them without their first paying two shillings, and not having it, they walked unconsciously to the PA RTNERSHI PS. DISSOLVED. water-side, where they got into a boat with the in- Edward Price, Edward' William trice, and Thomas ; tention'of returning to town. .When they reached HERMANDINE BOTH. Hip Ro}•al Highness the Duke of Cumberland, his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, his Royal Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, the Earl of Westmor land, the Marquis Camden, the Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Lonsdale, the Marquis Wellesley, the Duke of • Montrose, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl Bathurst, the Marquis of Bath, the Duke of Dorset, the Duke of Leeds, the Mar quis of Exeter, and the Duke of Richmond, attended by the under-named Officers of the Order, in their mantles, chains, and badges, v;z., the Lord Bishop of Winchester, Prelate of the Order; the Lord Bishop of Salisbury, Chancellor of the Order ; the Hon. and Rev. the Dean of Windsor, Register of the Order; and Sir George Nayler, Knt. Garter Principal King at Arms. At four o'clock the Knights Companions were called over by Garter, and, with the Officers of the Order, pro ceeded into the presence of the Sovereign, in the Chap ter-room. The Sovereign and the Knights Companions being seated, the Chancellor signified to the Chapter the Sove reign's Royal will and pleasure, that the vacant stall in the Royal Chapel of St. George be filled ; and, as by the sta tutes none but a Knight can be elected, the Earl of Ash burnha►n was introduced and knighted by his Majesty with the sword of state, after which his Lordship, having kissed the Sovereign's hand, retired. The Knights Companions then proceeded to the elec tion, and the suffrages having been collected by the Chan cellor, were by his Lordship presented to the Sovereign, who was pleased to command him to declare, and he ac cordingly declared, that the Right Honourable George Earl of Ashburnham had been duly elected a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Then, by the Sovereign's command, the Earl was re ceived at the door• cf the Chapter-room by the Marquis of Exeter and the Duke of Richmond, the two junior Knights Companions, and conducted between them to his Majesty, preceded by Garter, bearing the ensigns of the Order upon a crimson velvet cushion. The Earl kneel ing near the Sovereign, and Garter presenting on his knee the Garter, his Majesty, assisted by their Royal High nesses the Dukes of Cumberland and Gloucester, the two senior Knights Companions present, buckled it on his Lordship's left leg, the Chancellor pronouncing 'the usual admonition. Garter next presented, in Übe manner, the Riband with the George, and his Majesty, with the assistance of the two senior Knights Companions, put the same over the Earl's left shoulder, the Chancellor pronouncing the admonition. The Earl having again kissed the Sovereign's hand, and received the congratulations of each of the Knights Companions, withdrew. The chapter being ended, the Knights Companions were again called over by Garter, and with the Officers of the Order, retired from the presence of the Sovereign with the usual reverences. the spot where the calamity occurred, it struck the deceased they had not a place in which to lay their heads, and in the desperation of .the moment the deceased flung herself overboard, and the survivors followed her. The Jury expressed themselves fully satisfied with the two last witnesses, and returned a verdict of " Suicide committed by Miss liermandine Both, while under the influence of temporary derange ment." SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. If the representation given by Mr. HerrieS of ;he labours of the Bishop of Lincoln turn out ;0 be co rrect , t h at P re la te w ill h av e d on e more o reform th e Ch urc h o f E n gl an d than all the who the h Reformavelivedsbiceth b er e ei i g ru n pa o r f ti H al e a n i r l y d ' Bishops " the Eighth. The R ev. M r. Wray, while he asked that - universal, that he might b e might fitted from the un pleasant singularity of' bein g an example, and knowing, moreover, that his portion of the sacri fice to a plan for rendering the Clergy more use ful was compensated by witnessing its efficacy and success," was led to express a fear that the la bour was too Augean for the perseverance and the individual privation that must ensue—too repulsive for the benevolence of one Diocesan." But, according to Mr. Herries, the Bishop is determined that every parish shall occupy the at tention of one Clergyman. Mr. Wray had pointed out to the Bishop forty-five cases in the Archdeaconry of Lincoln (not in the Diocese of Lincoln, as Mr. (Terries is made to say in some Reports) similar to his own. " Now, the Bishop (says Mr. Holies), so far from neglect ing those cases, had, before and since the period when that principle was enforced, taken proceedings to enforce a similar principle in every other case ()fate kind throughout his diocese. It turned out, that of the 44 cases (45 were mentioned in the Archdeaconry), there were 24 in which the duty was now performed, and the principle which had been enforced in his case not carried into effect. Now with regard to eight of these the Bishop has already enforced the same principle of doing duty ; with respect to five he was taking measures to enforce the same principle ; five more cases were under inquiry at present. With regard to the two j .remaining cases, in one of them his . Lordship w . as not as yet satisfied that it would be • just to call" for the enforcement of this principle ; and as to the other, he had not as yet received a satisfiictory • answer regarding it." So far with respect to the Archdeaconry of Lincoln ; and it may. be _pre sumed, though Mr. Herries was modestly silent regarding the Nshop's labours in the abolition of pluralism throughout the other 1,200 parishes of his Diocese, that he has there been equally zealous and equally successful. The success of the Bishop in the abolition of Pluralism in the Archdeaconry of Lincoln is the more remark able, as it has been effected in so very short a space, that the facts are hardly yet known in the neighbourhood. We do not mean to deny that Reform has taken place ; for last week, sub sequent to the publication of Mr. Wray's Pamphlet, there appeared an advertisement in a Lincoln Paper, appointing a Meeting of the Clergy, to be held on the 27th of this month, with a view to the adopting , means for the improvement of the Church ser vice. We expect to be able in a few days to the success of his Lordship. The first order speak with more confidence as to the extent of to Mr. Wray, requiring him to confine his exer tions to the parish of Bardney, was dated 25th June, 1827. On the 15th Januarv,• 1829, a full year and a half afterwards, Mr. Wray, living on the spot, informs his Lordship that he was unable "to learn that he had procf , ded farther." " When I cast my eye (he adds) around the Archdeaconry in which I am situated, I see every where the same licence and omission as before. I do not find that the - Rectors of opulent benefices have been called upon -to t t ,,‘ sign stipendiary duty, or the Ministers of palm. sous parishes performing two services by your command. A,l remain unreproved and undis turbed." The Bishop found no difficulty in the case of a poor Vicar . of OW. a year with thirteen. children. The story told by .21%4: I - terries of the - Bishop's consideration man; l - when--her , found-that had..te sowliving its hiS fatnify; 'in' appointing , him ke•ttfief Curacy Of Horsington; is • only TO the Shoff 'objet4 tion •of being •unteuethe "order to abandiin't he Curacy having been issued nine 'Months before the appointment of the son was thought of, 'and the Bishop having had no concern with it -; but here he made a long and an ominous Pause 'or eighteen long months. The proverb Ce West que le premier pas qui route was reversed in his case, for the first step seemed to cost him no thing ; but it is not more difficult to - get an elephant to step on a raft, than to move his Lordship to take the next. However, when F,e once determined to proceed, he made up fc r his hesitation. In Russia and Lapland, v:nen the summer once comes, the rapidity of vegetation seems to atone for the delay. What the Bishop of Lincoln has done, every BiShop can do. We shall thus see, ere long, plu ralism completely abolished in the• Church of England. He has shown that the idea that numbers of the beneficed Clergy were in a•great degree pluralists by necessity, is founded in error ; for, by applying the law to a living of 601. a year, he may be said to have barely excluded a single living from, the benefit of full duty. There is one evil, however, which we fear will always. set reform at defiance—the degrading state, of dependence of the working Clergy. It is,•noto rious that law•must ever be inoperative in their case, so long as a Rector can, at as Short notice as a master gives in the case of any'otherServant, send the Curate adrift. • The Law may say, no Curate shall receive less than a certain stun a year ; the Rector who has purchased the LiVing at a higher rate than he would have .paid for,pt annuity to an equal amount. (and it is a lapeklery to affect to be blind to the open sale of Church Livings, and downright twaddling to talk o 4 Simony, after the late Law respecting 'Bonds of Resignation), will tell the Curate, that if he does not choose to take less, he has no longer any occasion for him. The weakest always goes to the wall—the Curate must take what .h can get. Churchmen are just like other fi i • religion is to drive the best bargaie, th ey 6 11 , and to evade all laws but the law of self-int e r es t.

TROTTING MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS. On Monday afternoon, a grand trotting match took place for 100 sovereigns, between Mr. BONNER'S Gla morgansl-Cre pony, and Mr. PERRY'S celebrated Flintshire pony, which has woo every match. The ponies were to trot in harness, and the ground chosen for the occasion was, from the one mile-stone on the Mile End-road, to trot ten miles out on the Romford-road. The celebrity of these little animals was such, that great interest was ex cited in the sporting world, and caused a number of spec tators to assemble. Mr. PERRY'S Flintshire pony was the favorite at starting, and betting was five to four in his favour. At three o'clock the ponies started, Mr. BONNER took the lead for the first eight miles, when his pony broke into a gallop, and Mr. PERRY passed him, and kept the lead for the remainder of the road, winning the match by about 35 yards. The ten miles were performed in 38 minutes and 30 seconds. The ponies are oaly 12i hands high, and can be backed against any two ponies of their height in England. It is expected there will be another match between the above, as the backers of the Glamor ganshire pony are not satisfied, he having been unwell on the previous day. ROWING MATCH. Another Rowing Match took place yesterday for a prize wherry, given by Mr. Bishop, a publican, residing at Lam beth, to be contested for by eight pair of oars, three beats; to start from Westminster-bridge, row round a boat above Vauxhall-bridge, return down the Surrey shore round the beacon near Waterloo-bridge, and up to Bishop's house, near Lambeth Palace. The match was of a very inferior description, but was well attended by the commoners. The boats for the third heat came in thus;— - --- - . William Legon, Fountain Stairs Samuel Richards, Lambeth Samuel Palmer, Horslydown Yellow 2 John Goatley, Temple William Young, Tower ' 1 Purple 3 George Brumwell, Vauxhall James Crouch, Tower Pink 4 Charles Mathews, Blackfriars The winner was a-head the whole way. FIGHT BETWEEN NED MURPHY AND RICHARD .. • SON FOR TWENTY POUNDS. . . • - , A very spirited and scientific little mill took place be tween these men, yesterday, in a field, close to Whetstone, on the Northern Road. Murphy had frequently dis tinguished himself in second fights in the 'P.R. and was ktiown to possess considerable fistic talent. Richardson, on the contrary, was a, novice, as far as public perform ances went ; but still had so far impressed his friends with his good qualities, that, at one time, it was proposed to back him again " the Pet of the Fancy," Dick Curtis. They are both heroes from the Marylebone schools, and, of course, attracted a strong muster of amateurs from that quarter. It is fit to state, however, that we did not re cognise many of the Aristocracy of the West End, and, as was jusly observed by a downy cove on the spot, that it was six to four that two-tLirds of them had, upon some occasion or other, been " pulled " before their betters. Whether this suspicion was well or ill-founded, their con duct was perfectly decorous, and, with the exception of the excitement produced by their interest in the fate of the combatants, there was nothing with which to find fault. In point of weight, the men were pretty much on a par, Murphy being about 9st. 61b„ and Richardson, 9st. 31b. Murphy, however, had the advantage of length, and, as the issue proved, of experience and skill. The former was seconded by Tom Redie and Woolley, and the latter by Adams and Dodd. THE FIGHT. At starting it was five to four on Murphy ; his position was good, standing well on his pins, and his hands well up. Richardson, on the contrary, stood loose and awkward, with his body too far forward, and his hands crossed. Richardson first broke ground, and planted his right on Murphy's body. He then popped in his left on his head ; but, in return, caught a heavy slap in the mouth. In the end, Murphy, in retreating, fell. Both showed red marks on their muzzles. From this to the ninth round the punishment was all against Richardson,—his left eye was swollen, and he showed other marks of the straight jobbing hits of Murphy, who was always ready, and inva riably met him right and left as he came in. In the ninth round he received a heavy hit on the nose, which drew his cork, and from thenceforth he never produced a change in his,favour, although he fought with great manliness and unshrinking courage. The length of Murphy's reach kept him well at bay, and when he did close for in-fighting he generally had the worst of the sport; still he persevered to the 47th round, when his friends, finding he had not a chance, gave in. To a commoner he may prove a teazer, but to such a man as Murphy, who knows his business, was always ready, and lets no opportunity escape of leaving his mark, he is of no use. Murphy won without a severe mark, and without the loss of a drop of claret. He was also quite fresh, while Richardson was greatly distressed. The talents of Richardson seem to have been ! greatly overrated, and, in all probability, he has re ' ceived a lesson which will in future induce him to confine the display of his prowess to the pleasant fields of Paddington. u ft Of Of X l,` The
