GERMANY. The authorities of Posen (says the Times' corre spondent) have enough to do to answer the strange applications that are sometimes made to them by the Polish and German peasantry. The idea that has got abroad among them of the vast grants of land Kossuth has received from the " King of America" .does not stand alone; another impression that has taken root in their minds is much more extraordinary ; for some time past the officials have received numbers of applications for shares in a " RoThschild Lottery," of which they of course knew nothing ; but, on inquiry, is was found the peasants have been persuaded that the "great Rothschild" has been sentenced to be beheaded! But from his intimate relations with the European monarchs he has been allowed to procure a substitute (if he can) by lottery ! For this purpose a suns of many miliOns is devoted, all the tickets to be prizes of 3,000 thelers each, except one ; that fatal number is a blank, and whoever draws it is to be decapitated instead of the cele brated banker! Notwithstanding the ri-K, the ap plicants for shares have been numerous, and the officials are scarcely believed when they explain to the deluded people that the lottery is a fiction. The origin of the absurd report cannot be traced, but it has given the authorities a good deal of trouble. The journals lament that any part of the population should be in such a state of ignorance as to render belief in such a story . possible. THE LONDON GAZETTE, April 20. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE.

The Royal Assent was giv,o to-day to the Mutiny Bill and the Marine Mutiny Bill, and several private Bills. The Lords Commissioners were, the Lord Chan cellor, the M4rquis of Es.ter, an d the Marquis of Salis bury. Their Lordships then adjourned during plea,ure. At Five o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack. COUNTY COURT PRACTICE. The LORD CHANCELLOR presenteda petition 7 rom the attorney? articled clerks of Westminster, pray ing to be allowed to act as advocates in County Courts. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from Galway against the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Law of Evidence (Scotland) Bill was read a first time. MA.YNOOTH GRANT. Earl TALBO r presented a petition against the May. nooth grant. _ . PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Lord COLCHESTER, in moving the third reading cf this Bill, stated the alterations which had been intro duced into the Bill while in Committee. The nature of these alterations, however, did not reach the galls ry. After a few observations from Lord WALDEGRATE and Lord CAMPBELL, the Bill was read a third time and passed. Tne Bishopric of Quebec Bill was also read a third time and passed. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT. The Marquis of Cf... ANRICARDE rose to put a question to the Noble Earl at the head of her Majesty's Government as to his intention relative to any future grant to Maynooth. After going into the history of the original endowment, the Noble Marquis said that the answer given by the Noble Earl opposite to the question put by a Noble Lord not now present (Albe- marle), had been materially disturbed by the speech of the Solicitor-General (Sir F. K.lly), delivered only a few days ago, in which that Learncd Gentleman stated that he was ready to concur with the Government, of which he was a Member, in any step to p o t an en d to the College of Maynooth, if such a step should be found necessary upon inquiry, and if the existing contract and engagements could be got rid of with honour. With regard to any inquiry, no notice of any intention of moving for a Committee on the subject had been given by the Government in either House. There certainly was a notice of motion for a Committee on the subject standing on the order-book of the House of Commons, in the name of Mr. Spooner, but the proposed object of that Committee was not to inquire into the existing contracts and engage ments with the College of Maynooth, but to inquire into the nature of the education given at that college. That was a motion which when male by a Noble Earl (It den) not now present, in 1845. the N , ble nog at ehe head of her litik•sty's Government, had op• posed. This was a subject of such greet importance :oat the Government ought not to leave this country and Ireltuld in the dark as to their real intentions ; and if they had any intention of making au alteration in the present settlem-nt of the veition, it was not on the has.ings but before Parliament that they ought to deliver them. The Earl of DERBY said that he thought that the difficulties of maintaining the endowment to Maynooth to which he had alluded on a previous occasion, would be greatly increased by the speech of the Noble Marquis. The Noble Marquis had more leisure than he had to real newspaper re ports, but he must protest against her Majesty's Government being made responsible for any newspaper reports of any speech whatever upon the hustings; and still more for the accuracy of any comments which the Noble Marquis might make upon that report. From what no could learn from the Noble Mar quis of the speech in question, the Solicitor- General appeared to be of opinion that the set tlement of the Maynnoth question in 1845 had not pro duced all the good effects which had been anti cipated from it. In that particular point he could only say that the Solicitor-General shared the feeling of a large number of people He quite agreed with the Noble Marquis that any in tention of any alteration ought to be proclaimed before Parliament, and not on the hustings, and he could only repeat his former statement that her Majesty's Govern ment had no present intention of making any alteration in the present grant to Maynooth; but should circumstances arise to make any such alter ation necessary, ample notice would be given in both Houses, and the Noble Marquis would have full oppor tunity of taking any steps which he might think neces sary for the purpose of opposing it. Earl GREY thought that his Noble Friend was en titled to a distinct answer to the question which he had put relative to a most important matter. The Noble Earl opposite was a Member of the Government which had brought forward the Bill of 1845, and in that House had appealed to their Lordships, as statesmen and as Christians, not to reject that Bill. If there was a respon s in rejecting the measure when i ntro d uced, surely was greater of rejecting it af er it h a d been the law or the land for seven years. The N o bl e Earl had stated tha t t he Gove rnment, had no present theib llri reap sponsi oility intention of proposing . an alteration, and h a d l a i d great strew on the word "present." Now he did not Ask the Noble Earl to pledge himself never to repeal the Act of 1845; but he thought be had a right to ask the Noble Earl whether the views which he expressed on the question in 1845 were now altered. Upon that claration. R e ference bad been made to a speech of the ciple whi c h ought to that the Right Ron. G point their Lordships were entitled t) an e xplicit de- Chancellor of the Exchequer on the sub j ect of th e prin tleman was Gentleman guide Parliamentary government. Without s a yi ng ri ght in the application which be had made of those principles, he must say that the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated them with singular ability, and, abstractedly t gso f agitation elector sgoing o o n n a t ai he on : qnooth question. Go• consider e d , w i th sin . ular correc tness. Their Lordships were all a ware of the efforts now waking to excite the feelings vernment were not j ust i f i e d i n a dding to and stimulating h the different religious bodies by re f using which was ex c iti ag them. The Noble E sr! was mis taken in supposing to exp r ess their views on the question that his Noble Friend who had asked the question had gone the length of giving up altogether the ground of good f a i t h and adherence to a contrac t, expressed or implied, as a reason for continuing the grant. There was certainly an implied promise that the college would not be allowed to be put d He hoped the Government ware not going to adopt the same course on this subject as they had on the question of a duty on foreign corn. He hoped they were not going to avoid the reaßomibility of expressing a de citk4 %WOO OD the tubilot v fa d t i nt t h e y Were not going to allow officials connected with the Government to go fishing for a few anti-Catholic votes, while they themselves avoided committing themselves on the ques tion. Such a position would be a most unworthy one for the Government to stand in, and before the conversa tion ended, he hoped the Noble Earl would give them some clear explanation on the subject. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to know whether there was to be an injury on the subject? The Earl of DERBY—AII I said was, that the con struction to be put on the speech of the Solicitor Gene ral was, that en iteteiry was to be moved fur, not by the Government. but by a private Member. Earl GREY—Does the Noble Earl adhere to the opinions he expressed in 1845? The Earl of DERBY—I do not think the question is one which the Noble Earl has a right to ask or any other person.—(Cheers.) I can only say that I have been greatly disappointed with the results of the mea sure of 1845—(Renewed deers.) The Earl ot MINTO—The Noble Earl has said that he had no intention, as at present advised, to alter the arrangement with rasp ct to Maynooth. Supposing that the Noble Earl spoke for himself, I should like to keow whether, in the event of such a' proposal coming from some other quarter, the Noble Earl will be prepared on the part of the Government to resist it? The Earl of DERBY—If the Noble Earl gives notice of an intention to move for the repeal of the Act of 1845, I will be prepared to state the course which Government would pursue.—(Cheers and laughter.) • The Berl of HARROWBY said he might ask the Noble Earl (Earl of .15linto) if he entertained the same opinions now whi c h he d i d in 1845 ? (Laughter.) For his own p ar t, h e w i s h e d to see a f u l l investigation The ob ject was to ensure a loyal Roman Catholic prie s th oo d for Irelan d . The question in the first place was , h a d M aynoo th pro duced a' loyal priesthood for I re l an d, or was i t b ree di ng oenofthe of etnhdcowment subject by a C omm i t t ee . up a priesthood, not only for Ireland, but for the colo nies and England al s o_ (Hear.) If that was so the question would be materially altered. The withdrawal of the grant would be a grave step, and he did not say that it would not be better still to Continue it, but he required reson investigation, He believed that s everal misre tations had been made at the time when the Bill of 1845 was proposed. H e did no t b e li eve that the po verty of the college was such as it had been represented. He did not believe that the student s w ere suffering from p the privations stated by Sir Robert Peel, and he had con siderable doubts whether the funds fur the education of Roman Catholic priests for Ireland were appropriated s olely for that purpo s e._ (aear.) Earl GREY thought the Noble Lord had taken a somewhat unusual course. —(A laugh.) He was not aware that he had ever expressed an opinion as to the results of the Act of 1815. At that period he was a Member of the other House, and he had no recollection o f ever having made any speech on the subject. He had supported the measure certainly not so much from any expectation of immediat e results, but from its being held out as a conciliatory measure to the R :man Ca tholics of Ireland, and which h e b e li eve d wou ld be ac cepted by them in that s pi r i t . H e bad always thought, an d still thought, that the state of things with reference to the endo wments o f t h e Ch ur ch ot Ireland, wa s one which co u ld not, and ought not permanent ly, to remain. The great body of the people were Roman Catholics, and the Church established was one of ex irem" wealth— ( O b)—he would not say extreme , but of great wealth, d er i ved in a gr. at measure f rom t h e en dowments posse sse d by the Roman C a th o li c Ch urc h 300, or 400 years ago, and which the Roman Catholics thought they o ug h t still to possess. Th at wea l t h h a d , however, been trans f erred to the Churc h o f th e m i nor i ty, and formed th e means for providing religious instruction for that min or i ty, composed of the , more wealthy classes There were a t t h e same time Par li amentary endow ments for venous classes of Protestant di ssenters in Ire land, but except the annual grant to Maynooth no pro vision was made fir the spiritual instruction of the great mass of the people. It appeared to him then, and it still appeared to him, that this anomalous state ot things ought not to continue. If the situation of matters were reversed, and Ireland had not a majority of Roman Ca tholics, be, as an English Protestant, would not rest con tent m tent until he p rocured the esta bli s h m ent of a diff erent state of thing s . I t was with suc h v i e ws that h e h a d sup ported by the the ea h : he had any confident establishment b m t e t e o t say of a Maynooth, o r th at h e opinion th a t any good system o f e d uc ation wou ld b e se curedhad any confident opinion the measure would work any marvellous good, was quite contrary to fact. It was tendered in that form and be accepted it.—(dear, hear.) Now, he hoped his Noble Friend would admit he had pretty clearly explained his opinions. Those opinions might be right or wron e ; -•but if wrong he had not shrunk trout fairly and h ones tly explaining th em . I f wrong he h a d held them in the other House of Parlia ment, and the same opinions h a re uniformly guided him since he had a seat in their Lordship's house.—(bear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was, like his Noble Friend (Earl Grey), about taking an unusual course— he was about to answer a question which had not been put to him. His Noble Friend opposite had said his question was put to those who supported Sir R. Peel in his Msynooth policy as to their motives and expecta tions in giving that statesman their support. Having been one of those who had strenuously supported the measure he felt bound to state, though he did not ex • elude from his consideration the hope the Noble Lord adverted to, that it would prodace a favourable effect on the conduct of the Roman Catholic clergy, it was not in the hope of producing that effect that he gave his support to the measure. He looked to no such bargain as the Noble Lord seemed to think was the case. He did not adopt from the Noble Lord that ground assigned for the measure, but ha adopted the ground assigned by Sir R. Peel, that it was important to the Protestant people of England that the Roman Ca tholic clergy should have a good education. This was an object not dear to Roman Catholics only, but dear to every member of the community composing the country at large, who, not being able to ignore or to prevent the existence of the Catholic religion in Ireland, had a deep, eommon, and lasting iuterest in educetlon being con ducted according to the approved forms of the Catholic Church, and subject to the inspection and observation ot the Government authorities. That was the ground on which he supported the measure—that was the ground of that statesman—and he should be glad to know if his Noble Friend (Lord Uarrowby) saw any reason for changing his °pillion in that respect. He also supported the measure on a ground not adverted to by the Noble Lard, but which he thought important at the time— namely, that it had been found necessary for a period of 30 years, by every Minister, and by every Government, to come down to Parliament, and year after year to raise the question, and to place themselves under the neces sity of calling upon Parliament to do that which Parliament had always been reluctant to do, and which had always created strife and opposition; that be saw in the measure a provision for a standing g r i evanc e end inconvenience which excited strife, political disputes, and irritation, and that therefore he for one felt obliged to the Government of the day, headed by Sir R. Peel, and supported by the Noble Lord opposite, for the means they took, as far as lay in their power, to put an end for ever to these circumstances, calculated as they were perpetually to renew and keep open the sense of grievance, which it was the object of all seise Governments to cover over, to palliate, and, if possible, to obliterate. He supported the measure on those grounds, and seeing as he did the immense import ance of avoiding the constant recurrence of mischievous discussions on the subject in or out of Parliament, he ad jured the Noble Lord and Government not to hastily adopt a course calculated to lay the foundation once more for a perpetual renewal of those annual votes and discus sions, as must bo the case if the old policy was resumed. If this vote was anuu illy proposed, it would renew and perpetuate all the evils to which he had alluded. He had thought it right to state these matters to the House. He had supported the measure on the grounds he had stated, and he was prepared to support it again, not because he thought it would have the effect of augmenting the loyalty of the Roman Catholic priesthood, but because it was best for the public at large. Of this he was sure, that the loyalty of the Catholic priesthood would not be increased by a withdrawal of the vote. The Bishop of CASHEL protested against the state ment made by the Noble Earl (Earl Grey), that the Church property was obtained at the Reformation, and handed over to the Protestant hierarchy. No such thing happened. Of the Roman Catholic Bishops at the Reformation the greater number embraced the Reformed faith, and continued in their sees. It was no more the fact that the Roman Catholic priesthood in Ireland were robbed of their property to be handed over to the Pro testant priesthood, than the Roman Catholic priesthood in England were robbed of their property to have it handed over to Protestants. The property in both cases passed the same way. The Church property in both countries was not given to the Roman Catholic clergy because they were Roman Catholics. but given for the maintenance of religious tru t h. T he Ch urc h of England and the Church of Ireland sto o d , on t h e sam e ground, and any Noble Lord who stoo d up a nd accused the Protestants of Ireland of r o bbi ng t h e R ,men Catholics of Ireland made the same accusat i on a gainst the Pro testants of England. No d ou b t , as t h e Noble Lord had said, there was a larger number of Roman Catholics in Ireland than there were Protestants; bat the Protestant Church of Ireland had been endeavouring, not without success, to bring the li g ht o f a pur er religion to the Irish Roman Catholics. It was a siugular fac t that the majority of the peopl e o f I re l an d who went to the land of liberty--America—to be freed from the persecutions of priests and neighbours. conformed to the Protestant Church. 000, e F rom the Quarterly Review be collected these was 23 000; facts:— - s a. ne population of America 3,000,000 of that number were Irishmen born in Ireland; 4,500,000 w ere o f Irish descent; and of the whole number of 7,500,000 I r i s h i n A me rica, Propagand e on ly claimed 1,663,000; thus billowing how many Irishm en rece i ve d t h e truth t h r ough the instruc doe given by Prot es t ant ministers. the annals of the Earl GREY asseiee d hi s statemen t w as correct respect ing the Rum en C a th o l ic C hurch proper ty in Ireland. The case of Engl an d an d I re l and was certa i n ly alike, but with tfie flec this difference, that in England ks and prelates went over to th e R e f ormed religion. ; but i n Ireland it was only th e p re l atea who wont over . He was one who conceived that Ch urc h property was held, not for the benefit of t h e pr i esthood, but for the b e nefit of their flocks; and h e cou ld not therefore conce ive that the pre sent arrenge ment of matters was bene ficial to the mass of the people o f Ireland. I t wa s a strange statement, that which had been made by t e e Right Rev. Prelate about the large number of Irish in America who con formed to the Protestant religion. Ile believed the statement was correct, and the only reason why the same effect did not occur in Ireland was in consequence of the injustice of the arrangement which had prevailed for three or four centuries, and which had proved the ob stacle to the spread of the inherent truths of Protes tantism among the people of Ireland. Tne subject then dropped, and their Lordship ad- 1 journal . HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 20. The SPEAKER Wok the (;heir shortly before Fuur o'clock. RDYAL COMMISSION-7 The Usher of the Black Rod (Sir A.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, it was agreed, after a short &suasion, that on Thursday the 4th of May the orders of the day should have precedence of notices of motion. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Lord JOHN RUSSELL inquired of the Chancellor of e Exchequer if he was now prepared to fix a day for making his financial statement. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that what he said with regard to the financial state ment was, that he hoped that when the House met after Easter he should be able to fix a day, but he did not say that he would fix a day. He hoped, however, that in a very short time he should be able to do so, but particular reasons connected with the public service had hitherto prevented him. WORKING CLASSES. Mr- SLANEY gave notice that on this day fort night he would move the appointment of a Standing Committee to report from time to time on measures likely to prove beneficial to the working classes. MAYNOOTH GRANT. _ Mr. SPOONER postponed his motion respecting the Maynooth Grant till Thursday, the 4th of May. • Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether tho Hon. Member aid really intend to bring forward his motion, as it had already been postponed two or three times, and the repeal of the grant was being made a party cry throughout the country.—(Order.) He ought to fix a day, and stand by it.—(Continued cries of " Order.") Mr. SPOONER—I have fixed a day and will stand by it; the reason I have postponed the motion is that the position it occupied on the paper rendered it utterly im possible to bring it on. MASSACRE AT THE SOLOMAN ISLANDS. Mr. M. AIILNES asked the Secretary Co Admi ralty whether any steps had been taken by her Majesty's Government, to inquire into the facts connected with the reported massacre of Sir Benjamin Boyd, at the Soloman Islands, with the view of placing the question of his fate beyond doubt, and of taking such ulterior measures as may be necessary? Mr. STAFFORD said directions had been sent by the mail which left on the 24th ult. desiring one or two vessels, which were under orders to return home, to return by the route of the Soloman Islands, in order to obtain some account of Sir Benjamin Boyd. Of course every measure would be adopted for his relief in the event of his still being alive. Efforts would be made to enlist the services of the United States' whalers who frequented these islands in the search which was being made for the missing gentleman. Sir R. H. INGLIS asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty how far the attention of the Board had been di rected to any plan or plans for facilitating disembarka tion from ships into boats, in the event of fire occurring at sea; and how far the crews are or ought to be exer cised in any such plan or plans. Mr. STAFFORD said that sedulous attention had been directed to this important subject by the Admi ralty, and some of the many inventions which were almost daily submitted to the Admiralty for facilitating the lowering of boats would be put into practice on board her Majesty's vessels. Instructions had been given to the captains of vessels to keep the boats and gear in proper condition, so that they could be easily r e . leased, and they would be required to enter a weekly report on the log book. MR. BRAGGS. Lord DUDLEY S ruAR, C wisned to put a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer respecting some outrages alleged to have been committed on British sub jects iu Tuscany, and particularly on a non-commissioned officer named Braggs. belonging to one of her Majesty's ships at Leghorn. Had any steps been taken to obtain redress fir .qr. Bragg..? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was quite true that Mr. Braggs having got into some squabb!e with the police was ill-treated, and the agent of the polie3 was imprisoned for his misconduct for eight days. Government, ho wever, would not accept this as Suffi cient reparation for the outrage, and negotiations were still going on with Tuscany on the subject. Lord D. STUART said that information had reached him that no such punishment had been inflicted upon the superintendent of the police, but only on one of the corporals. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had been given to understand that the punishment was in flicted on the chef de post dui ensd R armie. MR. MIE. Lord DUDLEY STUART should be glad to know what was doing in this case. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that as active negotiations were still proceeding in the matter, it would be quite out of place for him to enter into details now.—(Hear.) INTERMENT IN TOWNS. On the motion of Sir JAMES DUKE the following return was ordered :—" The Report on the results of a special inquiry into the practice of Interment in Towns," presented to the House in 1842 by command of her Ma jesty; " The Supplementary Report on the res u lt s o f a special inquiry into the practice of Interment in rowns," presented to the House in 1843 by command of her Ma jesty; ‘6 The Report of the General Board o f H ea l t h on a General Scheme of Extramural Sepulture," presented to the House in 1850 by command of her Majesty; and " The Report of the General Board of Health on a General Scheme of Extramural Sepulture for Country Towns," presented to the House in 1851 by command of her Majesty, be referred to the Committee on the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Bill. PARISH . VESTRIES. Sir DE LACY EVANS then rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Act of the first and second year of King William the Fourth, for the regulation of vestries, with reference to joint parishes. Mr. C. LUSEIINGTON seconded the motion. Mr. WALPOLE said there would be no objection to bringing in the Bill, hullo should be glad to know if it was intended that the Bill should apply to joint perishes generally, or only to those of the metropolis? Sir DE LACY EVANS said it would apply to seve ral parishes. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. THE CHURCH AND MR. BENNETT. Mr. HORSMAN then rose to move, that whereas by the constitu ions and canons ecclesiastical of the Church of England it is decreed and ordained, that " no bishop shall insitute any to a benefice who bath been ordained ny any other bishop, except he first show unto him his letters of orders, and bring him a sufficient testimony of his former good life and behaviour, if the bishop shall require it; and lastly, shall app ar, on due examination, to be worthy of his ministry" (Canon 39); also, that " no curate or minister shall be permitted to servo in any place without examination and admission of the bishoo of the diocese, or ordinary of the place, having epi sco p a l jurisdiction, in writing under his hand and seal, havin g respect to the greatness of the cure and meetness of the party. And the said curates and ministers, if they re move from one diocese to another, shall not be by any moans ad ratted to serve without testimony of the bishop of the diocese, or ordinary of the place as aforesaid, whence they came, in writing, of their honesty, abilit y , and conformity to the ecclesiastical laws of the Church of England" (Canon 48)—an humble address be p ro . achted to her Majesty, preying that she will be graciously pleased to direct inquiry to be made, whether due respect was paid t) the decrees of the constitutions and canons ecclesiastical of the Church of England in the recent institution of Mr. Bennett to the ra v • e of Frame. This case, th e H on. Member observed, had brought so much scandal up ni the Church that he did not despair of inducing the House to adopt this motion. Ho had, howe ver , no charge to make against Alr. Bennett upon his religious convictions, because as long as he violated no law the Reverend Gentleman bid a right to aqokt what rzill9i! p'e3 he thought fit; but it was with the acts of Mr. Bennett that. ho had to deal with, and the c ndcet of on e of t h e ,ngettaiies of :he Church in connexion with Mr. Bennett. The 11..11i1e W,S aware th lt iu 1843 Mr. Bennett was appointed by the Bishop of Lendou to the living of St. Paul's, and from that period down to 1850 a system prevailed at St. Paul's which eventually excited the indignation of the public, and led to his removal. Ac cording to a lett er w hi c h t h e Thy. Gentleman hims e lf had pulished it appeared that his proceenings had so I extsperated the public mind that a large police force was reeptired to keep the neighbeurhood of the church in oraer, and on one occasion some of :he people who at tended the church wore carried before the polka magistrate and punished. The magistrate, how ever, in sentencin g the accused parties, strongly censured the conduct of Mr. Bennett and his followers, and the subject afterwards so forced itself upon the at tention of the press that the Bishop of London was at length induced to remove the Rev. Gentleman from his living. The letter of the Bishop ascompanyieg the dis missal W:l3 familiar to the House, LSS must also be the reply of the Rev. Gentleman to it. It would be re membered that the Btthop's letter receintnended Mr. Bennett to resign, or legal measures would be taken to remove him; and in accordance with that recom mendation Mr. Bennett did resign, and his resig nation was accepted by the Bishop; not, however, bed ere the Rev. Gentleman had made a formal protest that he had violated no rules of the Protestant Church, and the Bishop had declared that he had not only been unfaithful to the Church but insubordinate to his diocesan. It was then publicly re ported that Mr. atnnett bad either gone to Reme or in tended to go there; but at all events, however that might be, the people of England fancied he had left their church for ever. Imagine, however, :heir surprise, after what he hied said and written, that it should come to pass that he should again be appointed to a living in the Protestant Church. It w as a matter of surprise that any patron could present him, but a still greater matter of surprise that any prelate could be found hardy enough to institute him. When Mr. Bennett left St. Paul's he declared that his religious convictions were unchanged and unchangeable, and it was right that the House should know what church he attended during the twelve months which intervened between his resignation and his appointment to the living of Frome. It had been stated in a public print that Mr. Bennett had spent the interval in Bavaria, where, instead of at tending the English Protestant Church, he was a constant attendant at mass, teed upon subsequent inquiry being instituted into the truth of this statement it was found to be substanelly correct. The fact was notorious to all English residents, and it might be considered as provel that Mr. Bennett was, to all intents and purposes, out wardly at least, a Roman Catholic, end had lost all sympathy for the Chutch in which ha had been brought up. Notwithstanding these circumstances he was appointed Prat scant minister of a ltrotestant congregation at Frome.—(dear) The people of Frome were in an agony of apprehension, and dreaded that what had occurred in London might take place in Frorne; and they sent a very strong but most respectful memorial to the patroness of the living to cancel the appointment. This memorial was signed by five clergymen, and the most influential part of the people in the town, but the only reply they received wa• that the appointment was already made, ant could not be reversed Now, he did not complain of the appointment, because in making it the patroness only exercised an undoubted and legal right, according to her conscientious vitws and convictions. The writings and preachings of the Rev. Gentleman since his appointment to the living of Procne, proved beyond all doubt that his views and principles had under gone no change, and he appeared to labour under the impression that, within ten years, Protestantism would have ceased to exist, and the Bible be found to be a fiction, so far us it was of use in pro moting and extending Christianity. He passed no opinion upon such doctrines, but he simply mentioned them as having been propounded within the parish church of Promo and remonstrated against by his own parishioners. The Bishop of L indon hsd long ago been made acquainted with ell these recent proceedings, bat he had taken no notice of them, and the Reverend Gentleman was It ft at lull liberty to go on preaching those principles . which he (Mr. Llorsmati) had faintly introduced to the House as they were explained by the Rev. Gentleman himself. Now the House was fully conversant of the immense powers exercised by a bishop. He was a dignitary at large, enjoying great wealth, and being responsible to no one; be could live where he liked, or do as he liked. If the Bishop were a bad man, his power could be used for the purpose of inflicting injury upon the people ; while, on the other hand, if he were well disposed and gifted with a nice conscience, his office was capable of much good. The ecclesias i tical law, howev e r, regu l at i ng t h e appointment o beneficed clergym en was excee di ng ly strict. The bishop could not ordain any one coming from another ._diocese, unless he first b roug h t sufficient testimony of e fermis good life and b e h av i our f rom the bishop . of the diocese from which ha came; and writing,brottiytt,intotbeic eoo t l e e s si t a im st en a y l of ability, hon es ty, and c,int laws of the Church of England; aud, secondly, after that, the clergyman must uedsrgo examination by the bishop. Now, as to the manner in which the certificate was given; it was signed by three beneficed clergyman ; and it they were not resident in the second diocese, it must be countersigned by the bishop of the diocese from which he came. The form of the certificate was, " We whose names are hereunto subscr,bed, b, fag three bene ficed c:ergynaen of the Church of E ignited, do declare that the presentee hash been personally known to us for the space of the last three years, and that we have had opportunities of observing his conduct; and that during the whole of that time we verily believe that he hath lived wisely, soberly, and honestly ; nor have we at any time heard anything to the contrary thereof; nor hash he at any time, so far as we are aware, written or taught anything contrary to the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England." Now this certificate required that three beneficed cler gymen should state that during the three last Sears they had opportunities of observing Mr. Bennett's conduct, and that they could testify that he had dons nothing con trary to the doctrine or discipline of the Church of Eng land. Had any three beneficed clergymen of the diocese of London signed that certificate in this case, stating that during the last three years they had an opportunity of observing Mr. Bennett, when during the last of those thrre years he had been on the Continent; and that they could testify that during that time he had done nothing contrary to the doctrine or discipline of the Church of England, when during the hummer of 1851 he had been habitually worshipping in the Reinan Catholic Church? Incredible as it might appear, the certificate had been signed by three clean men of the Church of England in the diocese of London!--([dear,) But this was not all. Those clergymen not being resident in the diocese to which the presentee was removing, it must be counter signed by the teshon of the diocese from which he was going. Had the Bi.hop of London countersigned the tetti monial? Had the Bishop of London, who had pressed for the resignation of Mr. Bennett, as guiliy of et:faithful ness to the Church of Englund and insubordinate to his bishop, had he signed a certificate to the effect thet during the last three years he was a feithful minister of the Establishment? Why, incredible as it might seem, h© hied heard that the • Bishop of Landon had actually signed the memorial—(Heer, hear) —though he had signed it i with a qualification.—(llt a r, hear.) There was no qualification iu the canon. The presentee could not he admitted without testimony in writing from the bishop to his honesty and conformity. The law, therefore. was clear that the bishop must give the testi mony. The practice bad been, however, that three cler gymen of the Church of England should siga the cacti finale, but that the bishop countersigned it merely to the effect of saying that he attests that the clergymen who signed it were resident in his diocese, and not as tcetify- ing to what they stated. There hail been this deviation from the practice, however, in the present case, that the Bishop of London had written in the margin of the cer tificate that he was only to be understood as attesting that these were genuine signatures, and was not a party to the statements of the certificate. At least h b o as,o pre sumed that this was so, and that the Bishop _d ee!, sought to save his consistency. If so, there had _b ath thrown additional responsibility on the . Bishop .to of B from thee arid Wells; and, as he received a certificate Bishop of London with an unusual quelificahen, reason for unusual prudence and p circumstances. inch a hear.) And surely, under such circu explanation certificate, with such qualification, iE required i e ethere had been precaution.—(Hear, and elucidation.—(Eleer, hear.) signed the certificate three clergymen of the dioce h se of ti L ia o li n a d a e a n tio w n h o o b had e part esibdotplotofbeEenatshigannedd Bishop,theßihoipb, b y e! .or thewi l'che certificate a e tae ß )? l which case Wells had deliberately dispensed with the precauti ons which were esteblished by law for the security of th e Church.—(Hear.) And there was this further p o i nt, that, even after the certificate was received, duly s i gned, the Bishop was bound to examine the presentee. By the 39th canon, the presentee must appear on such exa mination worthy of his ministry ; and, by the 48th canon, no minister was to be permitted to servo in any place without examination by the bishop (:f the diocese. This examination was not mere 1:112t ter of form. There was no point on which the lew Rise more explicit. There was a judgment of Lord Ellenb trough on this question, in which ho stated that, in all cases, " there was to be an examination by the bishops • :that was to precede tsolcaissien. The duty of examination was cast upon him by the express terms of the canon ; and, therefore, if either the beahop would not examine , at all, or only in a mode ineffectual, the court could interfere by m an d amus to compel such an tion to he made as pertained to his duty. The word of the statute is ' approve,' and the bishop must exercise that Puns of approval according to his conscience or such re informationexamina as he can obtain. Everything that di probation, and may pro perly minister to hi* conscientious appr , b4 ( io'_° - _ con' • elusions, though not farmelly * ,si o b n ie t, l liese grounds fairly and reasonable law, may be taken into consideration.' had memorialised therefore, the parishioners of Fr . o d m ,r e rho circumstances, assist e n C) s ur t of the Bishop, praying him to consider and institute the c xa minationr i c required by law. The of the facts, and Bishop, who could not be ignorant lass', did not condesc end cer tainly was not ignorant of e even to notice any one of the circumstances laid before ts but simply said, " Rev. and him by the memtlri 3l " t memor i a l signed by n yeu. Had dear Sir,—l have read tae , setisfied that Mr. Bennett I not been (I can assure y, to be influenced in favour not attached to, or likely was of, of Rome, or likely to influence others the Church I should have declined to institute him direction, . ifrnomthawthatever quarter the nomination might nave come. But I am so fully satisfied that he has a firm an d deep rooted attachment to our own Church, and repudiates Romish doctrines, that I feel I should be acting unjustly by him, and uncourteously to the Marchioness of Bath, aild Y mot %Vra@ firmly to Day inw u ti wi c i inetimiDg him." The Dishdp, without • noticing Any of the facts pieced besori- torn by. raa memort4llsts, essuened the g& of int,3lli and, declaring he wss satisfied Mr. Bennett was sttsched Zo the Church of England, decided contrary to the evidence and against the law ; and determined to institute him with out further exanainadon. The memorialists were disapirited, bat did not despair. They wrote to 'the Bishop again, and msde another request. They had sire tdy received ore answer, which was not particularly courteous or conciliatory; but i; was a model at episcopal kindness as compared with the accord. This secuud let ter was I sin r, quiisad by those clergymen and lay men who presented the memorial requesting your Lord ship not to institute Mr. Bennett, to express their deep regret that you still intend to proceed with the institu tion, though he has not retracted any of those doctrines and opinions cited in their memorial, arid which have created so much alaina At the ssme time we thank your Lordship for giving us the credit of objecting to him only from a sense of duty. And on the recogn' tion of this principle we now trust your Lordship will AO far oblige us as to stay institution for the short period of a fortnight, in order that we may deliberate calmly on a matter of such great importance, and consider whe ther or not we may take further steps." Wasi that an unreasonable request—coming, as it did from a tongue gation under rho Bishop's spiritual charge, deeply moved upon a religious question, and showing a degree of solicitude upon it for which a b ishop might have been expected to feel some sympathy Wh at was the reply ? Some days elapsed bef re Reese received, and then it was as followst—n Rev. Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and remain your faithful ser vant, RATU and WELLS "—(Hear, hear, and,a laugh.) He (Mr. Horrtran) would not comment upon that reply —(Hear, hear.) These gentlemen had presumed to ex ercise the right of privaie judgment, which he presumed wets distasteful to their Bishop; and they received their, reward. He rtaillecteci reading that Archbishop Laud had said on one occasion that he hoped " to live w sea the day wh en t h e proudest gentleman of England would stand uncovered before the meanest priest." He thought this reply of the Bishop breath, d the spirit of Laud; though h e hopet the gentlemen of England would not bend to it.—(lfear, hear.) The Bishop, however, had instituted Mr. Bennett, woo was inducted into the vicar 'ige of Fronse, where h e h a d a large income psid by .tue State, wi h p ttronage of three livings and the appoint; ment of several curates ; with those opportunities of using his influence which wore g i ven to ministers off the Established Church in a position of authority. And what was the first public act of Mr. Bennett after his in duction? The House would remember that when he bad :- resigned St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, and St. Btrnabastn' Pimlico, three curates of the latter church sent in their re' signation in a public letter, addressed " to the Bishop of London," in which they said, " Hutting heard that it is your Lordship's desire that the terrines in the church should be performed in a mariner different from that in which we have hitherto had the privilege of enjoying them, we beg to r es i gn our cures i nto your Lor d s hips" hands." Signed, first, by the It , v. Mr. De Gex; and . the first act of Mr. Bennett, as vicar of Frown, was to dismiss the popular curate whom he found established there, and to put in his place that reverend gentleman , Mr. De Gex. Now, in what position did the parishion ers of Frome stand? The place was excited; the clergy had memorialised; the laity bad protested; the Noncon• formists had held a public weeting—(A. laugh)- -- in which they had raised their voice on behalf of Protest- autism against what they considered a new "Papal sr , gression."—(Hear, and a laugh.) This was a question in which the Disssirers had as strong an interest as th l9 , members of the Establishment.—(Loud cries of Hear, from the Liberal side.) They might not be amenable to the discipline of the .hlsiablithed Church; but who would deny that Protestantism had been deeply t i ts,.t t e' debted to them, an d b e b e li eve d t h at t h ey wou ld f o rm ttf ne tti n the best bulwark against encroachments upon the . Protestantism of the country.—(Cheers from the None • conformist Members) It was not then to be sneered at that the Dissenters had protested against Mr. Bonneted appointment. Men of most respectable character and position in Fromm had absented themselves from the church, and the trustees of a Church school, twelve in the onco church,ber resolvepeopled that o t t he F c ro h m ild o r h en ee s w ho w nl h d at et h ot ad attend hap pened in London. They knew that two of Mr. Ben. nett's curates hailgone over to the Church of Rowe, an d. . while ministers in the Church ofd England had made use t of every opportunity their position in it might afford them to mike converts to the Church to which they were themselves hastening. They knew that in the parish of. St. Bernabas Mr. Bennett had established a convent of Sisters of Mercy (as it was willed), and that every one of those lathes had gone over to the Church of Rome.' They knew also, that among the members of his con. gregetion many had gone over, not obscure in station; and they naturally dreaded the same results it t " Freese. They knew also that the evil bad hes rested with the seceders themselves; that though many had by leaving one church and entering another found rest, others had not been so happy. He spoke in the hearing of those who could bear testimony to the • truth of the statements he now made—of those who' knew the family afflictions, the domestic sorrows which had been occasioned, and the social distrust which till abuses had gen era t e d. Th e y h a d h ear d o f paren,laf agonies —they had heard even of broke n h ear ts ; and 1 such things had occurred in London, why should• they not occur in Freme? And where was to be found th!: remedy? The Bishop of Bath and Wells told them that the parties were satisfied, but were the people of Engi. land satisfied? W ere th e p u bli c an d th e P r otestants 0 Engleud satisfied? Was Parliament satisfied? Ile would rather ask, was there to be no redress for the things, and where was it to be found? Not ce rtainly in the morality of our clergy —not in the conscience° of our prelates.
