WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1835. of the cultivator of the soil, which the tithe-owner steps in for so large a share of, that when the tithe is fully exacted, it frequently absorbs the whole of the tenant's profit. This is especially the case where great and expensive improvements, such as draining, inclosing, &c., are made ; or where crops attended with a great outlay of capital or expense of cultivation are grown, as in the case of hops, vegetables, and fruit. It is this which chiefly prevents Commuta tion, and if some provision be not made to arbitrate between the two parties, and to prevent such exactions on the part of the tithe owners, Commutation will never become general. The question can never be settled with justice, without having some reference to what would have been the value of the produce in the original and natural state of the soil. It will also be found necessary to include the price of meat, butter, cheese, &c., as well as of grain, in fixing the amount of the Commutation ; inasmuch as they enter largely into the value of tithe, and in grazing districts forms almost the only basis for it. A slight squabble took place last night in the House of Lords between the Duke of RICHMOND and Lord BROUGHAM, originating in some rather ca valier remarks made by his Grace on what he termed the Noble Lord's propensity to make long speeches. The sarcasm would have been an effective one, had it been applied to such an orator as the Earl of ABER DEEN, who is at times prosy and long-winded to a de gree passing mortal endurance; but it glanced off harm less from Lord BROUGHAM. A long speech from him is as acceptable as a short one from the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, for the one is as full fraught with eloquence as the other destitute of it. We have received Canada Papers, containing a re port of the Speech of his Excellency the Governor of Lower Canada, on opening the House of Assembly. This document, an extract from which is annexed, is destitute of all intelligence of a really impor tant nature, beyond what has been for several months before the public. We cannot find fault with the Governor for the meagreness of his speech. He states that the commencement of the Session was in post poned, 3 oruer to receive insts uctiwn from the Home Go vernment, and that he was constrained, after consider able delay, to open the want of suppli , session in consequence of a ....s--none having been voted during the last Se$:;;Ion. The following comprises all that is deserving of attention in his Excellency the Go vernorls Speech : " It was my intention to meet you on the day appointed by Royal Proclamation of the 16th Dec., 1834, for the assem bling of the Provincial Parliament. " I have already received some important communications upon the subject deeply affecting the vital interest of the pro vince, which for some months past have engaged the serious attention of his Majesty's Government; and in relation to which it was desirable that I should be in possession of their instructions, previous to the meeting of the Provincial Parlia ment. When the official intelligence reached me of a change having taken place in his Majesty's Councils, whereupon the meeting of the Provincial Parliament was postponed to the present time, in order to afford time for the receipt of the instructions to which I have just alluded, the transmission of those instructions which have not been re ceived by me, and although I still consider it desirable that I should have possession of them previous to the assembling of the provincial Parliament, I have nevertheless judged it ex-. pedient to call you together, under the apprehension that the public service might be exposed to serious inconveniences by further delay. " I have received from his Majesty's Government official in formation of the passing of a Bill in the Imperial Parliament, relating to the Post Office department in His Majesty's domi nions in North America, and I received at the same time the draft of a Bill in relation to that department, to be submitted to your consideration, which shall be done at an early period of the present session. " Previous to the opening of the navigation of the river St. Lawrence, in the spring of last year, I deemed it expedient to re-establish the quarantine station at Grape Isle. I will at an early period of the session bring under your notice the measures which were adopted and acted npon during the two preceding seasons, and subsequently sanctioned by the two branches of the Legislature in the last session, and the session before that. The failure of the Supply Bill in the session before last, the separation of the Legislature after the last ses sion, without having passed any Bill of Supply, and the inade quacy of the fund for defraying the expenses of the Civil Govern ment and the administration of justice, to effect more than the payment of a limited proportion of these expences, could not fail to create the most serious embarrassment in carrying on the or dinary operations of Government ; under these circumstances, it was deemed expedient by his Majesty's Government to di rect the issue, from the military chest, of a sum equal to 31,000/. sterling, for the purpose of mitigating the embar rassments, by the payment of part of the salaries and con tingent allowances of the Judges, and other public officers of the Crown, who, in consequence of the non-payment of their salaries and contingent allowances, had been suffering ex treme distress and serious inconveniencies ; and his Majesty's Government feel convinced that out of the supplies which they trust will be voted by the legislature of Lower Canada, the advance of the military chest will be cheerfully repaid." To the Gentlemen of the House of Assembly he recom , mends their early consideration of making provision for the repayment of the advance from the military chest equal to the sum of 31,000/., and the accounts of the expenditure of the year ending 11th October last, with an estimate of the ex penses for the current year, will be laid before them at an early period of the Session. Mr. Cambreling—As soon as the Speech had been read, said he was instructed by the Committee of Foreign Affairs to offer certain Resolutions. The first declared that it was in consistent with the rights and honour of the United States for them to negotiate in relation to the convention of July 1831, and that its execution should be insisted upon as well as its ratification ; that preparations ought to be made to meet any emergency growing out of the relations with France. The next resolution was in effect to discharge the Committee from the further consideration of that part of the President's Message which relates to the subject of reprisals, and of com mercial restrictions, which were to have been reported on the 20th, but which report was deferred in consequence of the re ception of news from France on that day. The Message was referred to the Committe of Foreign Relations. The measure proposed by Sir It. PEEL for the commutation of Tithes in England and Wales formed the chief subject of last night's business in the House of Commons. From what we can collect from the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech, and from his replies to the varicus questions which were subse quently put to him, the most important features of his Bill will be the following :---Having found that 2,000 parishes had already agreed to a voluntary commuta tion of Tithes, notwithstanding the great expense of Acts of Parliament which they were now subjected to, and being duly impressed with the difficulties of compulsory Commutation, he was induced to begin by trying the principle of voluntary Commutation, to which he would afford every possible facility and inducement. To effect this, he proposed to sub ject the superintendence of the whole measure to a Commission in London, consisting of three members, two of whom should be appointed by the Crown, and the other by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and who should also appoint Assistant Commissioners to act in case of necessity, or of difficulty of adjustment. The tithe-payers (the landowners) and the tithe owners in every parish should be invited to meet, to effect a voluntary Commutation, and a Sub-Com missioner should be sent down, as amicus curice, whenever it was found necessary, to explain the law, and assist in making an amicable adjustment. If two thirds of the tithe-payers in number and value acceded to a proposition which was accepted by the titheowners, it was to become binding on the parish, if sent up duly attested to the Commissioners in London, and agreed to by them. The consent of the Bishop of the dio cese was not to be necessary. The amount of Com mutation would depend upon a corn -rent, which corn rent would be regulated every seven or ten years by the prices of barler, oats, and wheat, to be taken at the average of the seven or ten years preceding. Any questions or differences which might arise respecting the assessment, or the modus (where one existed in the parish), were to be referred to the Commissioners. Land might still be apportioned in lieu of tithes, if with the consent of both parties. The amount of the Commutation might be enforced by an action, or by distress, or by summary proceeding; and in under-leases the lessor would receive it from his lessee, and pay it over to the head landlord. The operation of this Bill was to be bullied to five years. The majority of the Members who spoke objected to Cie principle of voluntary Commutation as one which would never be generally acted upon, from the great difference of opinion between the payer and re ceiver of tithe as to its actual value. This is our own impression ; but considering the great practical dif ficulties which doubtless surround the settlement of this important question, we should be inclined to concur in a trial of voluntary Commutation before resorting to compulsory means, if it were not at tended with so long a delay. To postpone for five years the cure of so great an evil as the present sys tem of tithes, is a course which. nothing but ne cessity can warrant. We are well aware that the Commutation of tithes could not be effected in England with as little difficulty as was found to attend a similar measure in ScOtland 200 years ago, because the system'Of cultivation in the latter country was then uniform and simple, while that of England is now become extremely various and arti ficial. The chief difficulty, howeVer, of,arriving at an amicable settlement of the subject proceeds from the frequent attempt of the tithe owner to exact the full amount of tithe, or as large a one as he, can, .upon what we may call the artificial produce of land. We allude to the produce arising from a large outlay of, capital, and from the superior intelligence and industry A New York Paper, of the 7th of April, has been received at the North and South American Coffee- House, by which we learn that the PRESIDENT sent a message to the Conaress 9 on the subject of the rela tions with France. The reading of the paper excited deep attention : it is exceedingly long, and the princi pal point in it is as follows : " It will be seen that I have deemed it my duty to instruct Mr. Livingston to quit France with his Legation, and return to the United States, if an aprropriation for the fulfilment of the Convention shall be refused by the Chambers. The sub ject being now in all its present aspect before the Congress, whose right it is to decide what measures are to be pursued, in that event, I deem it unnecessary to make any farther re commendation, being confident that on this point everything will be done to maintain the rights and honour of this country which the occasion requires. (Signed) " ANDREW JACKSON. " Washington, Feb. 28." • We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Monday, both morning and evening. The Gazette de France says that M. THIERS is labouring under a disorder in the throat, which threatens him with dumbness. The preparations for the trials are still going on. On Sunday at midnight the KING set out for Fontain bleau ; but the occasion of his going had not tran spired. Previous to his departure from the Tuileries, several Members of the Cabinet were in attendance. Letters from Madrid of the 13th instant, published in the French papers state the new appointment of DON FACIENDO INFANTE to the post of Under Secretary of State in the War Department. M. IN FANTE was the friend and companion, in exile, of MANZANARES and the unfortunate TORRIJOS. The same Journals further state that M. Jauge had just set out for London, and that the object of his journey is to concert with the house of GOWER and Co. the emission of Coupons, of a new loan for the service of Don CARLOS ; and that M. D. HABER who is now in London, will continue to take part in the emission of this Loan. We believe it is quite unnecessary for us to put the public upon its guard respecting this loan, should it be negotiated here or elsewhere. We have had enough of Spanish loans already—by far too much, to be made the dupes of a traitor to his Sovereian and his country. It is stated that two of the prisoners of St. Pelagic TEE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1835. have made choice of DANIEL O'CoNNELL, M. Es and the Abbe DE LA MENNAIS as their Counsel, be fore the Chamber of Peers. The appearance of the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin, before such an Assembly, would not be very grateful either to the Judges, or to the CITIZEN KINGS But we hardly think his attendance will be necessary.

Two reasons are assigned for their tendency to improvement : the first and most certain is, the situation of the Market at the approach of the settlement, which will begin this day week, because the more the Three per Cents. rise, the mow the " bears" will be embarrassed, as all the Rentes which were sold in options will be called in. It is also known, but not generally, that the Minister of Finance is returning to his favourite plan of reducing the Fivo per Cents. into Four per Cents., or, at the option of the holders, to be paid off at 102, the price of their emission. To facilitate this plan they assist in promoting the rise of the Three per Cents., as the Four per Cents. naturally follow the impulse. The holders of the Five per Cents. will be induced to prefer the reduction to being reimbursed. This operation may, how ever, be retarded, as the Ministers are positively again at va riance about proceeding with the State trials. The Spanish Securities are well maintained : they are also in demand, although there is no rise of consequence in them. :BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—Five per Cents, 103 f. 15c. ; 3 per Cents., 81f. 25c. ; 5 per Cent.

Advices from Constantinople state that the war in Persia has terminated in the triumph of the lawful Sultan, MOHAMMED SCHAH. This happy event was effected by means of the grant of thirty thousand pounds made by the British Government ; and the restored Prince declares that he owes the recovery of his Crown to British influence. Sir JOHN CAMP BELL, the English Envoy in Persia, did honour to the country, by his zeal, firmness, and liberality on this occasion. ZJLEH SULTAN, the Usurper, was made prisoner, having in his possession all the Crown jewels. The Turkish fleet was manned and armed imme. diately after the retirement of the British squadror to Malta. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. Brussels and German Papers have been received, but they do not contain a line worth extracting. The debates in the Belgian Chambers are confined to questions of no national importance. In the Lords a Select Committee to inquire into the state of Prisons was moved for by the Duke of RICHMOND. Lord WHARNCLIFFE preferred a Commission to make in quiries on the spots Lord BROUGHAM was not prepared to say which Was best. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought that a Committee ought to precede a Commission. The Committee was finally agreed to. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from some inhabitants of Montreal, de claratory of their attachment to existing institutions, and complaining of resolutions passed by the House of Assembly. In the . Commons, a return, stating the manner in which the Million gterling, voted to the Clergy of Ireland, had been disposed of, with other information connected there with, was moved for by Mr. D. W. HARVEY. It was opposed by Sir H. HARDINGE. It appeared that the Million Act had occasioned more than twice that number of calculations, occupying ninety-five clerks, forty extra barristers, and costing 25,0001. Mr. HARVEY withdrew his motion. He afterwards moved for a return of the number of fiats and of assigness under the Bankrupt Act. Sir E. CODRINGTON and other Hon. Members in stanced the misreprentation of some of the Morning Pa pers. After which, Lord J. RUSSELL said, that he intend ed this day to bring before the House, the question or breach of privilege, in reference to the paragraph affecting the Gallant Admiral. We arc apprehensive that the swell of the Seine will interrupt navigation. Four Amphitheatres have just been completed in the College de France. The Triton, at Toulon, took fire, which, however, was extinguished. A few days since a butcher of Neuvilly, in the Meuse, was returning home on horseback from a neighbouring village, with a calf tied behind him, when by some accident he rode into a deep ditch, and man, horse, and calf were all smo thered. They were found the following morning by means of the poor man's dog, which had remained the whole night endeavouring to drag him out, and in his vain attempts, had torn his master's smock frock and pantaloons to rags. When the officers of justice came to take the body, it was with great difficulty that they could prevent the faithful animal from biting them. FlRE.—Last week a fire broke out in the house of a tradesman in Edinburgh, and his wife, who was in a state of intoxication at the time, was so severely burnt that she has since expired in the Royal Infirmary. If the election petitions against Mr. O'Connell and his family are pressed, the Pilot says it would require at least 20,0001. to defend them on his part. We are happy to learn that Sir E. Sullen will cer tainly remain Lord Chancellor of Ireland.—Morning Paper. THE TURKISH .AMBASSADOR.—His Excellency Nowri Effendi, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Ottoman Porte to the Court of St. James's arrived on Sunday morning at the Carlton Hotel, Regent-street, from Paris. The son of Prince Vosgorides, of Samos, accompanies the Ambassador as interpreter, in addition to whom are two Chief Secretaries. His Excellency has travelled with a most numerous suite, in all about thirt) -three. Seventeen military and naval officers of distinguished families of Constantinople have preceded his Excellency, and awaited his arrival at the Hotel for ten days. Mr. Webb, of the Park, near Ross, on Tuesday last, sold in Ledbury market to Mr. James Barrett, junior, a load of wheat, at 14s. the bag ; exactly 26 years ago, he sold in the same market to Mr. James Barrett, senior, a load of wheat at 28s. the bushel ; so that he has now sold a bag of wheat at the same price he then received for a half a bushel,—. Hereford Times. EXECUTION.—On Monday the sentence of the law was carried into execution on the person of Norman Welsh, convicted on Friday last before Mr. Baron Parke at the Lancaster Assizes, for the wilful murder of the late Mr. Wm. Southgate, surveyor of warehouses at the Cus tom-house, Liverpool, on the 17th of October last. A tem porary gallows had been erected during the night, behind the castle, around which, and in the churchyard, about 2,000 persons had assembled to witness the execution. He struggled violently, and some minutes elapsed before life appeared to be extinct. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL presented a petition (which was after some discussion withdrawn), in reference to the discharge of the Sureties for the prosecution of the Dublin Election Petition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then brought forward his measure for the Commutation of Irish Tithes. Lord J. RUSSELL'S chief objection was, that the Commutation was not com pulsory. After a long discussion, the resolution was put and agreed to. Sir RICHARD MUSGRAVE obtained leave to bring in a Poor Law Bill for Ireland. Till two names were substituted for those of Colonel PERCEVAL and Co lonel VERNON, it was arranged that the question respecting Orange Lodges should not be proceeded in by the Com mittee.

One asking him how he durst be so bold to live in that place, and whether hee saw none? " Noe," saith the farmer, " there bee two saints in heaven trouble me more than all the devills in hell, namely, St. Mary and St. Michael, which bee my rent days." STATISTICS OF AMSTERDAM. A detailed statement has been made up of the population of the city of Amsterdam, and the number of births and deaths from the year 1700 to 1814, by which it appears that the number of births was 752,475, and that of deaths 927,637, a difference of 175,162. However, as the register of the deaths are more correctly kept than those of births, the difference is perhaps not so great. The annual average will be 6,543 births and 8,066 deaths. The greatest number of births was in 1736, amounting to 7,273 ; the smallest number in 1777 being only 5,825. The greatest number of deaths was in 1787, amount ing to 13 778, the smallest in 1798, viz. 6,406. In the first vear of this period (1700) the births were 6,810, the deaths 7,232; in the last year (1814) the births were 6,128, the deaths 8,264. CONDITION OF THE EGYPTIAN PEASANTRY.— There is little similarity between the Turkish and Egyptian pea-ant. The Turk is naturally proud and haughty, always ready to resist oppression and injustice ; the Fellagh has the melancholy look of one accustomed to suffer, the timid and cowardly air of a man who is hopeless of remedy or aid. In vain does the Nile lavish its treasure on every hand—none of them are his; in the midst of almost miraculous fertility, the Fellagh keeps his eye fixed upon the ground, as if he lived in a curse. There are, in Egypt, myriads of labourers who gather abundant harvests, and will cat nothing but the herbs of the field, bread made of flax-seed, and boiled beans. The cele brated Amru once compared the people of Egypt to the beasts who labour incessantly for the benefit of others. The state of the poor cultivators of Egypt has undergone little alteration since the days of Amru. You cannot form an idea of the number of miserable wretches that are to be found in the vil lages where we land, during our voyage up the Nile. We see only men, almost naked, or covered with rags worse than nu dity—countenances on which pain and suffering have ploughed deep furrows—youth, without its characteristic gaiety —women, in whom poverty has effaced the traits of their sex. It is here we find how limited is our vocabulary for expressing misery ; it is presented to us at every step, and under all its forms.— Michaud's Egypt. - - IMPRESSION OF MUSIC ON ANIMALS.--(From the London Journal.)—M. Marville has given the following curious details on this subject. Doubting, he tells us, the truth of those who say it is natural for us to love music, espe cially the sound of instruments, and that beasts th emse l ves are touched with it, being one day in the count r y h e ma d e hi s ob servations, while a man was playing on a conch shell (trompe marine), upon a cat, a dog, a horse, an ass, a hind, cows, sma ll birds, and some barn-door fowls in a yard under the window on which he was leaning. He did not perceive that the cat was in the least degree affected, and he even judged by her air that she would have given all the musical instruments in the world for a mouse, for she slept all the while unmoved in the sun ; the horse stopped short from time to time at the window, raising his head up now and then as he was feed ing on the grass ; the dog continued for above an hour seated on his hind legs, looking steadfastly at the players ; and the ass did not discover the least indication of his being touched, eating his thistles very peaceably ; the hind lifted up her large wide ears, and seemed very attentive ; th e cows slept a little, and after gazing awhile went forward ; some little birds which were in an aviary, and others on trees and bushes, almost tore their little throats with singing; but the cock minding his hens, and the hens solely employed in scraping on a neigh bouring dunghill, did not show in any manner that they took the least pleasure in hearing the music.--Faculties of Birds.

The Lord CHANCELLOR having appointed this morning for giving judgment in this case, long previous to his Lordship's taking his scat the Court was crowded to suffocation. His LORDSHIP, immediately upon taking his seat, proceeded to give judgment. He entirely agreed with the observations made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor at the commence ment of his judgment, that the present case could not justly be considered as a case of trifling importance. It was a case of some importance even in a pecuniary point of view to Dr. Warren, not with reference to his actual position, but as it might affect his future position and interest as connected with the society ; but independent of that, every question coming into a court of justice, affecting the feelings of a great mass of the people, particularly where they were associated toge ther for purposes of religion, could never be considered as of trifling moment. His Lordship had looked with considerable attention into the volume containing the minutes of the pro ceedings of the society, and they breathed a spirit of meek ness and Christian feeling throughout ; but he must be allowed to express his regret, that in a society so constituted and for such an object, motives and feelings of dissension of this description should have been introduced, and to suggest whether it would not be advisable to make some endeavours towards accommodation, in order to put an end to the dissen sions that had given rise to the present proceedings. Having made these observations, the only duty his Lordship had to perform was to determine the legal rights of the parties; he had only to decide whether or not Dr. Warren had been legally suspended from his functions as minister by the District Committee. To this point alone, he should, therefore, now direct his attention, only adverting to those grounds of difference which the ne cessity of the case required. The question resolved itself into two points; first, had the District Committee power to sus pend a preacher, and if they had, had they regularly exer cised that power in the present case. Now, the first docu ments referred to by the Counsel on both sides were the trust deeds under which the chapel was held. By those deeds the trustees held the chapel, subject to the trust to permit the preacher who was appointed by the Conference to use the chapel for the purposes of religious wor ship. It was said that Dr. Warren was the preacher ap pointed by the Conference, ai;l therefore that he could only be removed by that body ; his Lordsh:;' apprehended if the Con ference, which was the legislative bo',dY of the society, had pointed out a mode by which a 'pro cher might be suspended or removed, according to that. mode , he could no longer be considered as coming the meaning of the trust as the minister appointed by the L,Ofe rence. Another regulation in the trust in the deed was, that the trustees should proceed according to the Act of Pacifica tion, whenever it should appear to them that any preacher had offended in the manner therein described. Now, it appeared to his Lordship that notwithstanding that provision, the con clusion was not to be drawn that a preacher might not be removed by any other mode pointed out by the So ciety. This led his Lordship to the arguments arising out of the acts of the Conference, for it was upon these acts the question must be decided. No doubt could be enter tained that Mr. Wesley possessed and exercised the power of suspension and removal during his time, he possessed so much influence and just authority with the Society he had osta blished ; and while he lived, much was left to him as to the laws and regulations necessary for the purpose of preserving the harmony of the Society. Upon his death, however, in 1791, it became necessary, for the pur pose of regulating the connection in future, to pass certain laws. In that year, for the first time, districts throughout the kingdom were established, and provisions were made to the fol lowing effect: that the assistant to the Circuit should have the power of convening together the preachers of the district upon any critical case; they had the power to appoint a chairman, and their decision, in all cases, was final, till the next Confer ence, at which the chairman was to report their proceedings, and the Conference were to act with respect to them as they thought the justice of the case required. Nothing was said then with respect to the offences committed by preachers, or to the mode of trial ; but no person, looking at the scope of this law, could doubt that if a preacher had introduced discord (his Lordship did not here allude to the case of Dr. Warren), and disturbed the harmony of the society, it could not but be considered a critical case, which justified the Assistant in calling a meeting of the preachers. If such was the case, was it not obvious, in order to promote the ex istence of this society that the meeting should have the power of suspending or removing a preacher, subject . to the revision of the conference. In the year 1792 alterations were made on this law ' • as it stood in 1791 the chairman was to be appointed pro hoc vice by the District Committee when assembled. An alteration was made to the effect of ap- pointing a permanent chairman, immediately after the meeting of the Conference, who was to hold his situation till the next Conference. By the law of 1791 the meetings were to be convened by the assistant ; by that of 1792 they were to be called by the Chairman. By the law of 1792 a copy of the charge made against any preacher was to be handed to him, or ordered, that he might be prepared for his defence when the meeting should be convened for the purpose of de ciding the case. In case the Chairman who was to call the meeting should be the culprit, the assistant was to do so. Matters thus continued till the end of 1792: in 1793 provi sions of a different description were made. By those provi sions, if a preacher was charged with immorality he was to be tried by a domestic tribunal of four persons—two to be ap pointed by the preachers, and two by the accuser : the decision however of that tribunal was not final, as the accused might be tried if he chose by the District Committee. In 1793 and 94, further alterations were made in the trial of preachers accused of immorality ; the leaders, stewards, and preachers of the circuit were to assemble and decide on his guilt or inno cence; if the majority were against him the Chairman had the power to remove him. His Lordship did not much rely upon them, because when he came to the law of 1795, the provisions he had referred to were so inconsistent with that law, that he had no doubt it was intended that the former should be abolished by the latter. This brought his Lordship down to the deed of pacification. It was im possible to doubt that in the early part of 1795 and before the Act of Pacification, that the District Committee had the power to try and remove, or suspend any travelling preacher, and that being so the question was whether any alter ation had been made in that law by the Act of Pacification. Now that Act had been very much considered ; disputes had taken place in the Society principally with respect to the administration of the Sacrament. It was unnecessary for his Lordship for the present purpose to advert further to that part of the Act, but under the head of discipline, it provided that a case where the majority of the trustees, or stewards, or leaders, should find a preacher guilty of immorality, erroneousness of doctrine, or violation of the clauses thereinbefore inserted with reference to the administration of the Sacrament, or a defi ciency in talents and ability, that under such circumstances they should have authority to convene a mixed tribunal, to consist of the preachers of the district, the trustees, the leaders and stew ards, and if the majority were against the preacher, he was to be considered as removed from the circuit. It was then provided that the District Committee should fill up the vacancy only until the next Conference. If the case rested there, in his Lordship's opinion all ambiguity would be taken away. The doubt in the case arose upon the sth division under the article discipline, which said that no preacher should be removed from his circuit, or be suspended by any District Committee, except he had the privilege of the trial before-mentioned ; these words taken by themselves were large and general, and his Lordship confessed that he had some difficulty in: dealing with the argument, that they took away all authority of suspending or removing from the District Committee. The construction of the words were certainly doubtful, until you came to look at what had since taken place ; but after adverting carefully to that, his Lord ship thought it was clear that the authority of the District Committee was superseded, not absolutely, but only in cases on which the trustees, leaders, and stewards chose to interfere. It appeared to his Lordship, therefore, that it was impossible to consider that the Act of Specification was in tended to have the effect contended for on the part of the plaintiff. If any doubt, however, existed on that point, it was, in his Lordship's mind, set at rest by the code of laws of the Methodists, which had been given in evidence, from which it was clear that the pa. ties publishing that code (the legisla ture of the society) never meant to take from the District Committee the power of suspending and removing preachers. From the year 1795 to the present time no less than seventy cases of suspension or removal of preachers by the District Committees had taken place. It was said that there was no resistance in these cases, and therefore they could not be called in, aid as spewing the usage that had taken place ; it might, and no doubt was true, that they were not resisted, and why, because the parties probably felt conscious of their guilt, and had no desire to have their matters investigated. It was said that the case of Mr. Moore was an exception, that he resisted, and his resistance triumphed in oppo sition to the District Committee. The facts, however, of that case were entirely different from the present, and, in his Lordship's opinion, had no bearing upon it. Upon the whole, his Lordship was of opinion that t the case was very strong and clear with respect to the authority of the District Committee. In his Lordship's opinion, notwith standing the Act of Pacification, they had authority to suspend and remove preachers in all cases, except in those cases where the trustees and the other parties mentioned chose to interfere. Such being his Lordship's opinion, the next ques tion was, had they regularly exercised that authority, according to the rules prescribed in the Acts of the Conference in the present case. His Lordship was of opinion that they had. Doctor Warren had regular notice, and the meeting was summoned in the usual manner. Doctor Warren had refused to stand his trial. He said he would not attend ; and the District Committee had suspended him for conscience sake. It was said that Dr. Warren had been harshly treated in not allowing Mr. Brown to attend. With that his Lordship had nothing to do, the District Committee exercised the power vested in them by the laws of the society, and said that no stranger should be present. l e t was also said, that publishing Dr. Warren's speech, with the observations attached, was not an offence, as it did not support the charge:against him; whether it did support those charges or not, was a question for the meeting ; his Lordship had no jurisdiction in the matter, a particular tribunal having been established by the par ties, he had no authority to say whether, within the rules of this Society, that publication was, or was not, an offence—that was more particularly for the decision of the District Committee. His Lordship was of opinion not only that the District Committee had the power of suspending a preacher, but that in the present instance they had acted le gally. He was not called upon to say more ; he was not called upon to say whether they had acted discreetly or not : he desired it to be expressly understood, that upon that point he gave no opinion. All that he was called upon to decide, and all that he did decide, was the legal question. On the whole, therefore, his Lordship felt himself bound to affirm the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. He, however, could not dismiss the case without again expre ssing his regret at the dissensions that have given rise to these Po'i ceedings. Hearing what he had, and knowing what he did Dr. Warren's learning, piety, talents, and good conduct, stated as they had been on the one side, and not atempted to be contradicted on the other--all these circum stances added together increased his regret that Dr. Warren should be the sufferer, arising out of contests that h ad origi nated in the establishment of a particular body, w hich the Society, or part of the Society, thought right to establish. His Lordship regretted,. deeply regretted, that Dr. Warren was the sufferer, he would not say the victim, of such p roceed .; ings He had cnly to give his opinion on the legal point one the case, and that opinion was in concurrence wit h the ne pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor. .Hie Honour's judgment' therefore, must be affirmed.

POOR LAWS FOR IRELAND• (From the Dublin Morning Register.) Not only for the last six years, but for the last sevel ltee l f o rce re years, have the privations of our poor been unavailingly on public attention. There was a pestilence in 181 8 . T he was another pestilence in 1822. Parliamentary sat and reported on both these pestilences, and ascribed ug: to the increasing misery of the people. * * • Then came 1829, when an effort was made to induce the An gislature to admit even the principle of a Poor Law. A n here we are in 1835 as far, apparently, as ever from a practica, remedy for a state of things unexampled in any part of t at civilived world, though there is not an hour that passes th,ae does not bring its proofs that the privations of the masse i t ', people are rapidly on the increase ! * Mr. O'Connell apprehends the consequences Poor Laws 0 13 1 produce are subjecting us to the infliction of a " permanc Committee, pauperism." They may subject us to that, but it strikes us 85 being wholly indefensible to purchase the avoidance of such 8„ mischief by means so terrific as suffering the continuance el the scenes which we witness around us. The starvati on ° f hundreds of thousands is too tremendous a price to be Pal d . for any contingent good. * There is Doctor Doyle, with his peculiar experience aliz sagacity in matters of this nature on one side, and Dan' e , O'Connell on the other. We can come to a definite and unerring judgment on only which are before us. We know that the people are starving—we know that they are in such a condition as history describes no human beings ever before to have been place d i l l amongst civilized nations. This is an evil which we shoe_ deal with, braving all consequences. We should approach. with the feelings which a man has when he jumps into the tine, to save a fellow-being from drowning : he runs a c hance ?' i o jng his own life, but at all events he feels himself justifiable before heaven and earth in trying to rescue from certain d' struetion that of a fellow-creature. matters SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)
