s'on on this vital subject, we are, we trust, doing him pi; act of justice. But at the same time we fairly him, that unless he promptly follows up that ct,::•version, by using his power and influence to carry •nt9 effect, we shall be inclined to look upon his v. ,, vls—however eloquent,—as nothing more than soundiug brass, and a tinkling cymbal."—Mornng We have always been of opinion that the Mel lerune-O'Connell Ministry, however cordially they tight unite in voting an abstract Resolution on the stt eject of the revenues of the Irish Church, would soon discover that it was impossible for them to at telept to carry their own resolution into effect without beicaying to the public the irreconcilable differences of ev,nion which exist among them, on the meaning they e:e .•erally attach to it. It now appears that they in tend, with utter disregard of their own recorded opi- Ihens, sanctioned by a resolution of the House of Commons, to introduce an Irish Tithe Bill, which not embody the principle of the appropriation of a part of the revenue of the Church to secular purposes. The Observer newspaper, which is gene rally understood to speak the sentiments, if not the actual l an eztage, of some of the present Cabinet, gives a pretty dil•inct intimation to its readers of the course the Governs: eat mean to pursue ; and then, •• v i that it may be asked why vial great naivete, adds, ‘• • the Reform leader of the House 2f Commons thought it expedient to urge so strenuously up, - ,ti that assembly the necessity of a distinct declaration of principle which lie knew could not be brought into imme . “` l iate application by any specific measure." To this question the Observer gravely answers, that " there would have been no objection to passing Sir H. Hardinge's Irish Tithe Bill as it stood, had Sir R. Peel been content to leave the question of appropriation open to future dis cussion ; but as he had declared his determination that he would not consent to the appropriation of any surplus revenue of the Irish Church to any other than Protestant ecclesiastical purposes, it became necessary that Lord 3. Russell should procure for the Irish people the iva 'mace of a vote of the House in favour of the prin ciple of appropriation." Now this mode of reasoning might have been listened to if Lord John and his friends had rested their case on the first of the two re solutions proposed by him, and agreed to by the House—viz., " That any surplus revenue of the present Church Establishment in Ireland, not required, for time spiritual care of its members, be applied to the moral and religious education of all classes of the people, without distinction of religious persuasion, pro viding for the resumption of such surplus, or of any such part of it as may be required by an increase in the number of members of the Established Church." But, not content with obtaining the assent of the House to this general abstract proposition, Lord John thought proper to follow it up with this practical declaration, " that no measure on the subject of tithes in Ireland can lead to a satisfactory and final adjustment which does not embody the principle contained in the fore going resolution." The Ministry, in the interval since the passing of that resolution, have discovered that any attempt to embody this principle in the Irish Tithe Bill, which, under all circumstances, they must bring in would prove fatal to their own existence as a Government ; and they take the method to which we have above alluded of putting forth a feeler, to ascer tain how far their Radical and Papist supporters will suffer them to abandon, for an indefinite period, the commencement of that new era, which, in their opinion, was to bring peace and tranquillity to Ireland by the extirpation of the Protestant faith in that coun try, and by delivering it over to the uncontrouled domination of O'Connell and the Roman Catholic Priests. To us it must be a matter of gratification that no measures for the spoliation of the Church are to be Immediately brought forward; and if the Conservative party in this country do their duty, as we have no doubt they will, they may rest assured that neither in this nor in any subsequent session will the present im becile Ministry dare to embody their fatal principle in mist practical measure. Were it possible for a party sunk so low as the present Whia-Radical Cabinet to excite any other feeling than that of contempt, we could desire to see them suffer no more severe punish ment than to be condemned to drink to the dregs the bitter cup of political degradation, by thus abandoning the attempt to carry into effect the principle to which they owe their accession to office.—Morning Post. More than half the time usually occupied in the parliamentary session has now gone by, and scarcely one practical measure of legislation has advanced a single step since the unceremonious dismissal of the Melbourne Ministry in last November. If it be asked what has been the cause of such delay, when the various interests of the country so imperatively called - upon the attention of the Legislature ?—the answer is obvious—the embarrassment and delay of public busi ness has been occasioned solely by the attempt of a de clining faction to reinstate itself in a trust which it had for years atrociously betrayed. The agitation conse quent on a general election—the alarms—the suspen sion of public confidence—the no less anxious excite ment in re-electing the Ministers whom the national will carried into the councils of the Sovereign, may be all traced to the same foul origin--Tory intrigue. But though their intrigue and influence at Court placed the Tories in a temporary ascendancy, and though seine were found so base as to " lay their bel lies in the dust before the frown of his Majesty," yet, thanks to the extension of the elective franchise by the Reform Bill, the nation was not so sunk in corruption and fatuity as to submit to a domination, the principles of which are, and have ever been, diametrically opposed to the general in terests. Let us now examine the relations, and pon der boldly on the present position of parties in the Douse of Commons. At the general election fol lowing the dissolution, styled, with shameless assn • rtnce, " an appeal to the people," the Tories, by the most iniquitous practices, and the active appliance of nicans which possession of office afforded them, con r,ved to gain an accession to their party of about sixty Members in the House of Commons. This increase of partizans, however, was not sufficient to bear them up • : •-tainst the united powers of the liberal and less liberal representatives, and the consequence was the accept ence of an unwilling resignation from one Ministry, created by intrigue, and the unwelcome recall of another, placed in office by inevitable necessity. But though 'he Tories were unable to carry on the Government themselves, it would be a gross delusion to suppose that they have not sufficient strength to embarrass any t:overnment acting in accordance with the wishes and the interests of the people. The question naturally presents itself in consequence—Can the Melbourne Ministry go on with the present House of Commons? Let us not deceive ourselves ; the answer decidedly L.—No! Whatever may have been the understand on which Lord Melbourne consented to resume office (and he must have been silly to a most calpable extreme, and guilty of a gross direliction of duty to himself and the nation if he did not make his own terms), in any case, at no very dis ilia period, there must be a general election. To this should the attention of the people be most ear nestly directed. The anti-national faction foresee, and ere preparing for the coming contest. The Tories are or 6. antsin, e• their forc es meetings are called,—din ners are given,—the public suoilers are forming clubs, nod calling them " Conservative ;" an active registra tion of their bondsmen is set on foot, and every thing indicates preparation for another combined attack on the citadel of the people's rights. " Let us gain an ascendancy in the popular branch of the Legislature," said Sir R. Peel, at the Merchant Tailors' Hall, " let there be no laziness, no apathy, and, above all, no despondency." We say to the people, let there not be too much confidence ;—discipline often prevails against numbers The Tories drill their mercena ries and act in united bodies, while the friends of the people too often rely on the honesty of their in tentions and the goodness of their cause. Years of plunder have put the Tories in possession of wealth, e• the sinews of war," and every sinecurist, every pil- Jager in church and corporation, every monopolist, in fact, every plunderer of the State, and they are mani fold, unite and act with the Tories in a common fra ternity of evil. The Reform Bill furnished the means o f placing the various interests of society and the State in fair relation with each other ; consequently, those who exist by unjust and unequal legislation are opposed to the operation of a principle which must put a barrier ‘V't to the continuance of unrighteous spoliation. , must respect vested rights (rather vested wrongs), says one—such a measure will inflict suffering on a certain class, says another—l agree in the principle, but am ad verse to its application at the present time, says a third ; all are prepared with an excuse, and would fain forget that every good has a greater or lesser portion of evil mixed with it. The robber feels aggrieved in being driven from the highway ; but is the suppression of his de predations an injury to society ? The beggar feels a“rieyed in being compelled to labour for support ; but is society not benefitted by his exertions ? The principle is as applicable to the Tories and their fol lowers as to either of the instances we have adduced. The people themselves must act in vindication of their own rights, for never will they be voluntarily restored to them. Again and again would we impress upon them the necessity of exertion, combination, and orga nization, to secure the . good which the Reform Bill lays open to them, or, although it be impossible alto gether to withhold its chief blessings, they may be de layed for another generation.—Morning Advertiser. The debate in the House of Lords, upon the popu lar procession which hailed the arrival of the DEW Viceroy at the seat of his Government, has excited the astonishment of all impartial men. The Earl of Wick low was pleased to characterize that great assembly of the Irish people, who met for the express purpose of testifying their loyalty to their Sovereign, in the person of his representative, as a " violation of the common law ;" or, " at least of the law which was introduced two years ago, when Lord Melbourne was Secretary of for the Home Department—he alluded to the Bill which to be continued for five years, and which de clared to be affgal all bodies of men assembled with symbols and banners. We know of no rule of com mon law which imposes a peisfiltY upon the subjects of the King for presenting him wiZ.II the most de cided tokens of their affection. If any such rule there be, we happen to know of instances in which it was repeatedly violated with the sanction of a Tory Government. We were amongst the spectators who witnessed the triumphal entry of George IV. into Dublin, and also his equally triumphant depar ture from that capital. On both occasions the people expressed their attachment to that Sovereign in the only way in which a multitude can all join in the display of their sentiments, by meeting arid march ing in regular array, with music and banners, and the usual symbols of national rejoicing, and myriads of shouts of " Long live the King !" His Majesty on that occasion, attended by Lord Castlereagh and Viscount Sidmouth, not only sanctioned the infraction of the common law, but became a cri minal himself, by wearing an immense shamrock next to the royal star upon his breast. He had promised to govern his people in Ireland " accord ing to law ;" they required no other pledge from him to induce theM to renew in that solemn manner their obligations of allegiance. But we have in vain searched the records for the precedents which must have been furnished, had the Irish Attorney-General of that day, accepting the Earl of Wicklow's construc tion of the common law, prosecuted a hundred thou sand of the people, and impeached the King's Minis ters, for perpetrating so great an outrage upon the most venerable portion of our system of jurisprudence. We suspect, therefole, that the Noble Earl labours under a misapprehension in that respect. But then, he adds, there is at all events the law passed two years ago, which, in his opinion, leaves no doubt whatever that the assembly in question was an illegal one. For tunately that is a very short and remarkably clear sta tute. It is entitled an Act "to restrain for five years party processions," and the preamble runs in these words : " Whereas great numbers of persons belonging to different religious denominations, and distinguished respectively by va rious emblems expressive of party feelings and differences, are in the practice of meeting and marching in procession in Ireland, upon certain festivals and anniversaries, and other occasions, and such processions are calculated to create and perpetuate animosities, and have been found to occasion fro.: quent and sanguinary conflicts between different classes of his Majesty's subjects ; be it enacted, that from and after the commencement of this Act, any body of persons who shall meet and parade together, or join in procession for the purpose of celebrating or commemorating any festival, anniversary, or political event, relating to or connected with any religious or other distinctions or differences, between any classes of his Majesty's subjects, or of demonstrating any such religious or other distinctions or differences, and who shall wear, bear, or have amongst them any fire-arms, or other offensive weapons, or any banner, emblem, flag, or symbol, the display whereof may be calculated to tend to provoke animosity between his Majesty's subjects of different religious persuasions, or who shall be accompanied by any music of a like nature or ten dency, shall be, and be deemed, an unlawfel assembly." It is then, further enacted that justices may disperse such meeting, and that any persons refusing to disperse may be apprehended, tried in a summary manner, and imprisoned for a period not exceeding three months. Apply this statute to the facts. A change of Govern ment takes place ; the Lord Lieutenant resigns, he is succeeded by a nobleman whose first maxim it must be to execute the " law " in that country. Upon his ar rival, a body of a hundred and fifty thousand men assemble with banners and music to welcome the re presentative of their Sovereign, arid they escort him to his residence amidst the most enthusiastic expressions of their fidelity to the throne. Is this then, we ask Lord Wicklow, nothing more nor less than a pro cession of persons assembled for the unlawful purposes specified in the Act ? The day of the meeting was neither a " festival," nor an " anni versary," within the meaning of the statute. The " political event " which they attended to witness, was the arrival of the King's Lieutenant. Can this be deemed in law a " political event, re lating to, or connected with, any religious or other distinctions or differences between any classes of his Majesty's subjects ?" Did his Majesty nominate and appoint Lord Mulgrave Viceroy of Ireland, in order that he might be the type of " religious distinctions or differences," and that he whose mission is one of peace to all men, should have nothing to do but to excite " animosities" amongst the people of that coun try ? We know well that Lord Wicklow will answer all these questions in the affirmative, for he does most certainly consider the new Viceroy as the agent of a political party in the State who wish to govern Ireland with strict impartiality, and to whom for that reason he is most violently opposed. We appeal, however, from the judgment of an Orange Peer to that of the people of England—from the opinion of a passionate —bigotted----interested Judge, to a generous and enlightened nation ; and we ask whether lie and his base myrmidons, the incendiaries of that kingdom— the Rodens, the Percivals, the iVlandevilles, the Boy tons, the Shims, and the Blackers, are entitled to say that every party in the State must be illegal and un constitutional but their own ? We should have treated with derision the interpretation which Lord Wicklow has put upon the law of these realms, had it not been, in another sense, of too grave an import, inas much as it exhibits, in colours of flame, the intole rable instinct of ascendancy, the unquenchable thirst for lawless and sanguinary power, by which the Orange Aristocracy and Hierarchy in Ireland are goaded onward in their career. These men have been brought up from their cradles with the no tion that Ireland exists in order that it might become their perpetual, their exclusive, prey. They have sworn at their altars to hate, to persecute, if pos sible to exterminate, its Catholic inhabitants. They plundered them of their property by Parliamentary con fiscations ; they robbed them of their houses of wor ship ; they appropriated to an alien Church lands de vised to the uses of the ancient faith ; they broke down the Constitution by passing laws for depriving the people of every right, privilege, immunity, every gift which liberty could bestow ; they violated positive treaties, without even feeling that they were doing an unjust deed, so practised is their whole tribe in the ways of infamy. Sanctuaries defiled, habitations con sumed by fire, hearths red with the blood of women and infants, mounds containing the relics of men murdered in cold cruelty, or slain in rebellions provoked by the insufferable fierceness of Orange tyranny, have, from age to age, displayed the kind of policy by which Lord Wicklow and his frenzied followers still hope to tr am pl e u p on the great mass of the King's subjects in that country. By God's help they shall not succeed. 'We tell Lord Wicklow that his accursed Orange system shall never again supersede the King's authority in Ireland. Who is this Lord, we should like to know, and who are the wretched creatures, either iu Parliament or out of it, by whom Ihe is supported, that come to claim from us the sur render of a whole people to their vengeance? Look at T .ord Londonderry, his meddling, fretful auxiliary on this occasion. Good God! is it true th a t this man was l by the Duke of Welli ng t on t o b e th e L or d (ne anL e i s e t ut i e of that kingdom—he whose appointment to a post that had the great advantage of exiling him to a distance front our shores, disgusted the House of Commons so much that his commission was cancelled ? But we retract the question. We admit that the Irish office would have been properly confided to him by such a Government. It was re markably fit and expedient that he who exulted over the ruin of Poland should be the principal instrument for reducing Ireland to a state of more even than Warsaw desolation. Wait a little while. There may be a Phillports in Devon, and a clerical band at his call to frighten the simple-minded rustic there from the performance of his free resolutions. But the right minded men of Yorkshire, who laughedat the parsons, and scorned their political sermons, have spoken out the opinion which at the next election will be re-echoed from every quarter of these kingdoms. The Orange , men have had their day. It is the destiny, it seems, of every " dog" to share for some hours in the smiles of fortune. But these smiles are transient. For the Orange " dog" they have passed by, " never to re ; turn."—Morning Chronicle. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

CAPTURE OF A STURGEON IN THE THAMES.— On Wednesday morning a large sturgeon was caught in the River off Wapping-duck-stairs, by the crew of the schooner Mary, belonging to Mr. Fletcher, who immediately conveyed it to the Lord Mayor, and they received from his Lordship a present of 12s. for their trouble. The sturgeon is a fine young one, weighing upwards of 250 pounds, and, it appears, had been floundering about the water for some time in a bed made by a vessel which had been lying in the mud near the stairs ; when the tide receded, the fish was left in the hole, and being observed by the sailors, they procured a rope and hook, and hauled it on deck. -- - ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Tuesday last a young woman, named Cooke, residing in Bread-street, Brighton, in a fit of passion swallowed a large dose of laudanum. The circumstance becoming known to her friends, Mr Richard son, one of the surgeons to the dispensary, was called in, and immediately applied the stomach-pump, by which the deadly fluid was withdrawn, and the life of the girl was saved. So bent was she on self-destruction, that it was necessary to use force in order to apply the requisite means. The only cause she could assign for this rash action was, that her mother had refused her permission to go to a pic-nic party ! PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES, &c. &c.

A Gerinan Jew, named Myers, summoned two officers of the synagogue, for having urged on other Jews to assault and otherwise molest him and his wife. Myers said, in the phraseology of the foreign Jew, that a great prejudice was raised against him by the defendants, who accused him of having been naturalized, in order to have a good excuse for attacking him. The consequence of this report was, that all the low born Jews who felt the sin of conversion to be a grievous one, never ceased to annoy and insult him, and as he " vas a valking the other clay mid his vife a set of them falls upon him and threatens to murther his vife, poor voman, though she vas the mother of eleven sbilders." The LORD MAYOR—And was this because you was a naturalized Jew Myers—Please you, my Lord, I a'nt no such a thing. I am a real Jew, and I never was naturalized. They says so to rise the kibosh against me and my rife, rot I vas a valking mid when they come down upon us. Ve goes reglar to the synagogue, and the gentlemen knows it. I'm as good a Jew as any on um all, and so is my poor rife. The LORD MAYOR—And can you assign no reason for this violent conduct towards you Mrs. Myers—No, please your Lordship. I only went to un for a little money, for my husband was in de Hospital, and they makes no more but calls me an old German's bunter, and kicks me out of doors. The LORD MAYOR—Can you swear that ether of these defendants kicked you out of doors ? Mrs. Myers—No, I cant swear dat ; but I can swear dat dey said " Go out of de house you old b—." The LORD MAYOR—Can your husband swear that they struck him ? Myers—l don't think I can swear, but they gets other Jews to give me the kibosh upon me, and its all same to me which of the whole set struck me. All I can say is, that me and my poor wife will be killed at last by 'em. They are all against us—all the Jews. The LORD MAYOR—Perhaps the defendants can clear up the matter. One of the defendants—l belong to the synagogue, my Lord, and know these people well. I assure you that we invariably assist our poor, if they deserve assistance ; but these people are, to our positive knowledge, the very worst of beggars and impostors. They go about the streets in a variety of characters. Sometimes they are to be found with turbans round their heads, with their children chaunt ing for pence in the streets, and acting in such a way as a Jew ought to be ashamed of. There are several in Court who know their tricks, and that they act most disgracefully. It is of course disagreeable for us to be annoyed by such people ; but to talk of blows is quite ridiculous. Mrs. Myers—They set the little blackguard boys at us, and they call us turncoats, and if him or me is a turncoat, I'll throw myself upon your Lordship. A tI , Q crowd—l say, Mrs. Myers, wasn't you a " Mommiton" the tother day, mid your " turbot" t.len. 'your head ?—(Great laughter.) The defendant said the complainants and their Children were in the habit of begging and gagging about as the na tives of different countries. The same voice—l'm sure I've seed 'em scores of times as black as chimney-sweepers. Myers—No ; I've served my King and country in the German Legion, and I never pretend to be any thing but a Jew. Several tradesmen here stated that the complainant was a very troublesome fellow, and not over honest. A respectable Jew of the same name declared that the complainant ran away with a bale of goods from him. Myers—lt was upon credit, and I am an honesht man. I say my prayers like a Jew. The LORD MAYOR—Did you say your prayers like a Jew when you stole the bale of goods?—(Laughter.) Myers—My life's in danger ! My life's in danger ! The LORD MaYoa—Not in the least. These gentle men will not annoy you—so go about your business, I've had enough of you.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.—Facilitv of expression ap pears to depend very much on the predominant mode in which the ideas are associated. If an individual's thoughts are prin cipally connected together by circumstances of time and place and superficial resemblance, by those casual ties in a word which usually prevail in the mental strains of people little accustomed to reflection, he possesses with himself the chief elements of a great talker. On the speaker's ideas on any su bject rising in his mind b ecaase t h ey are se lf -c i rcumscr ib e d within determinate bounds, a few words will frequently be suffi cient to present them to the hearer ; and as every thought will have a bearing on the conclusion intended to be proved, the process will naturally be brief.—B4ilg. GUILDHALL. Mr. John Mitchell, a cheesemonger, at No. 63, Alders gate-street, attended before Mr. Alderman VENABLES, to answer to the complaint of John Collender, the foreman of the inquest of Aldersgate Ward, for having by artful and deceitful means caused the goods sold by weight in his shop to appear a greater weight by three-quarters of an ounce than the true weight thereof. This is an indictable offence, subjecting the offender to fine and imprisonment, at the dis cretion of the Court. The Foreman stated that having had an intimation, the inquest went suddenly to the defendant's shop, and though with great celerity and presence of mind he attempted to remove a lump of butter scrapings, which had been stuck underneath the scale used for weighing butter and cheese, he was unable to effect his object. The defendant said they had known him for twenty years, and he hoped they would not be so severe as to take away his scales. They, how ever, persisted in doing so. He subsequently addressed a note to them, praying them to return his scales before Saturday, as that was a busy day, and he would never do the like again. Mr. Alderman VENABLES asked if he was to understand that every person purchasing butter or cheese was defrauded to the extent of the weight of the lump of grease. The Foreman said, " Certainly." The defendant said the grease remained at the bottom of the scale through the neglect of his servant, and entirely without his knowledge. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said, a Jury of his neigh bours, who saw his conduct upon the occasion, were of opinion that it was done intentionally. After a few observations between the parties— Mr. Alderman VENABLES said he understood the de fendant was willing to give M. in aid of the funds of the Ward School, if the Inquest would forego their prosecu tion. He (Mr. Alderman Venables) was content that the business should be so terminated, trusting the circumstance would be impressed on his mind, and be a warning to him. Mr. Mitchell gladly handed five sovereigns over to the Gentlemen of the Inquest, and his scales were restored to him. W OR SHIP- STREET. Ellis Jacob, aged twenty-three, was brought up in the custody of sergeant Collins, G 7, before Mr. BROUGHTON, charged with defrauding Jane Cane, under the pretence that he was practising as a solicitor. The complainant stated that she lived at No. 4, New court, Bishopsgate, and that her husband was in Coldbath fields prison, on a charge of felony, where he was to suffer six months' imprisonment. On the 2d of May the prisoner came to her, representing himself as having attended from the office of Mr. Thomas Wontner. He said that he knew Mr. Wontner ; and stated that he was able to obtain the remission of her husband's remaining imprisonment. The prisoner produced to her a parcel of papers tied up, as if they were brought from a solicitor's office, when, laying them before her, he demanded 4s. 6d. for what he called the seal. She told him that she was much distressed, hav ing, since the loss of her husband, three young children to support. She gave him the money. He returned again the same day and had 3s. for an affidavit, observing that if her husband was not out that night he would remain in prison for a month. She never saw him again till the 9th instant, when he excused himself for her not having seen him before, that Lord John Russell and the Under-Se cretary of State were out of town. He then took her to Guildhall, saying that he would be able there to obtain the affidavit of Lord John Russell. On showing her a paper he asked for Bs. 9d. more, observing that he was not aware there would be any extra expense. She said she had not so much and borrowed the money of Mr. Bray, landlord of the White Swan, Long-alley, upon receiving which he was given into the custody of Sergeant Collins. The prisoner said he lived in Gray's Inn. Mr. Thomas Wontner said he knew nothing of the pri soner. He never was in his office. Mrs. Bray said that the prisoner described himself to her as a solicitor. Serjeant Collins deposed that the prisoner told him that he was no attorney, and acted as he had done through distress. The prisoner said that he did not follow any occupation. His father was formerly a collector to the Messrs. Char rington, on leaving which situation he carried on a soda water manufactory in the Commercial-road. A few months ago his father pulled down the house, when he (prisoner) was taken up for selling the materials, on which account he was tried at the Old Bailey and acquitted. He had not since obtained employment, while his father had left all the family, and they do not know where he is. The prisoner was remanded. LAMBETH- STREET. On Friday the Magistrates at this office, Messrs WAL KER and NORTON, were engaged for a considerable time in hearing a case in which Mr. Dames, an extensive dry cooper, of Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, was summoned. to show cause why he refused to pay the usual reward to Davis, No. 56, and others belonging to the fire brigade, for an alleged fire in a chimney on his extensive premises in Rupert-street. Mr. Smith, the vestry clerk of Whiteehapel, who at tended with Mr. Dames, the defendant, took an objection to the proceeding on two grounds ; the first was, that the Magistrates had not the power, under the Act of Parliament of calling on Mr. Dames to pay any sum of money to the firemen, but merely to reimburse the churchwarden of the parish any sum he might have thought proper to pay to the firemen for their attendance. An application had been made by the firemen to the churchwarden, and his opinion being that the firemen were not entitled to a farthing, he consequently would pay them nothing. The MAGISTRATES, after much discussion and consi deration, decided that, under the Act of Parliament, they had no power taiwompel a churchwarden to pay the rewards in these cases, if they, the churchwardens, thought pro P er to refuse them, and dismissed the case. • The decision, which gave great satisfaction to many Pre' sent, will be of considerable importance to the different parishes in the metropolis, a s th e t ax levied on them in the shape of such rewards have latterly become enormous. In the parishes of Whitechapel and St. George's in the EaS t s alone, the sums paid by the churchwardens amounted a g. Dually to from 3001. to 400/. each, with which sum the 1 78 " rislies are taxed, besides the sums paid by persons whn'ar/ in circumstances to pay it themselves.
