During the last year 71 applications for assistance have been received, and Grants have been made in 46 C ases , amount i ng to 9409/. ; by and, aid is of which sum an inc rease o f Ch urc h ac commodation provided for 13,797 persons. The number of free and unappropriated sittings is 11,114. It thus appears that the Society has been instrumental in providing. increased accommodation for 80,526 persons, and that of this number the free sittings amount to 60,510. The utility of these exertions will be readily acknowledged by every friend Of the Church of England ; and the necessity of con:. tinuing them must be obvious, since that which has been done bears but a small proportion to that which yet remains to be effected; for it is plainly deducible, from the returns of the population made to Parliament, that to obtain an adequate supply of Church Room, nearly a million of the people of }.laii land still stand in need of the aid which it is the purpose of this Society to afford.

HOUSE OF LORDS , MAT 28 • Sir J. NEWPORT, accompanied by several other Members of the House of Commons, brought up the Irish County Trea surer's Bill, with their Lordships' Amendm e nt s agree d to . Th e Irish Grand Jury Presentments Bill was also brought up, and afterwards read a first time. A person from the Court of King's Bench presented re. turns pursuant to their Lordships' order. The Earl of DONOUGHVORK, on the first reading of the Irish Grand Jury Presentment Bill, observed, that by this Bill the salaries of the Clerics of the Crown and the Clerks of the Peace in Ireland were regulated ; but although the Clerks of the Peace had greater duties to perform, their salaries were left us they were, whilst the salaries of th e Cl er k s o f t h e Crown hail been doubled ; and this doubling extended to 17 counties of Ireland.

SPECIAL JURIES. presented a p e titi on f rom John Hunt, Editor .- Mr. HUME of the Examiner Newspaper, stating that in IEI2I, he was pro secuted to conviction by the Attorney-General for a libel on the Commons. of Coons. That he has since beenprosecuted hy the Constitutional Association for an alleged lib e l on the late King, which proiecution is now pending. Th e question raised by this petition appe are d t o be whether th e M aster of the Crown denied that if any m a n hial this power, any bi as he might o ° w ffi n ce P ° leau ug s tl re fr ' om t to have e t t h h e e power l . reetot il f lel Prbi`ckpook ingth , e urymen at his 1 ,. i t could not b e feel would chew its e lf in his nomination of the juries. In this case it appe a r e d that the Ma s t er would not nominate any Juror to whom the title of °• Esq u i re " was not -given in the book. This determination excl u d e d t h e majority of the Freeholders ; and the petitioner ob serve d too, that the title o ll f e ' ill E r. s9l l l l ir u e m n e) wa k 3 ntiv ve o n f i a n n o ln l a a n w y which C 4seS .t. ° persons in trad e . authorized t h e. ex. elusion of the Freeholders generally. The Master admitted that if he had the inclination to act unfairly, he had the power to do so. No com i plaint n this instance was made against the Master ; but it was contended that this power, in a servant of the Crown, was highly i m p ro p er . N o tndividual ought to be trusted with it. T e Master, in addition to him situation in the Court, held- an ofifee as Colonial Auditor, of I;li001. a year, from which he might be removed at the pleasure of th e Crown. Ifhe was not more Olin man he must be influenced, in spite,of himself, by this circumstance. The petitioner said he had been 'exposed to four Crown prosecutions, in all. Of which he complained of unfairness in striking the Juries.. On a former occasion, similar to the present, another indivi- atial had applied to the Court of King's' Bench for re d re ss, and had failed in his application. He had no doubt that the mischief complained of was confined to Crown cases. The • N.

The meanest peasant exercised and justified.: He really trusted that the evil complained of that right which the noblest bosoms in the land burned would be altered by law ; and that the House, whatever might to enjoy, but could not without committing perjury, or basely be its politidal feeling, would not refuse to do justice to the conforming to another religion. It was not permitted that the. matter irquestion.

But he thought this personally against the Master.--(klear, hear I)—The grievanc e was however universally complained of; and his Han.
