SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our readers will find in another page of our Jour- I :nal this day, one of the most important documents it &as ever been our fortune to peruse, connected with - the ecclesiastical affairs of Ireland. It will be recol lected that towards the close of the session of Parlia ment last year, Commissioners were appointed for the" purpose of making a full and correct inquiry respect ing the state e r r religious and other instruction, and the itreans of affording the same, actually existing in that country. It was a most material feature of this inves tigation to ~ ascertain the real numbers composing the - whole population, and then the proportions attached to the,. afferent modes of worship prevailing in that part of the United Kingdom. We have now before us the result of the labours of the Commissioners, with reference to the first, that is, the religious branch of the inquiry ; and we must confess that although we ware not wholly ignorant of the true condition of the sister kingdom, we were not at all prepared for the astounding case against the Irish Esta h lishment, which Cie Report of these gentleman has disclosed. The information thus presented to Parliament and the country is strictly of a statistical nature. We must, therefore, enter into some of the details of which it consists, `referring the reader to the Report and the table itself for more copious evidence as to the cam and skill with which the whole has been framed. rae Report will convince the most sceptical of the "iories that never were data of a similar character col lected with more industry, examined with more impar tiality, or get down as authentic with greater precau tion. The matter is arranged in the most lucid order. Besides the summary for all Ireland, which we give, together with the Report, to day, the volume, em bracing altogether upwards of 800 pages, exhibits a distinct summary for the four provinces of Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam, as well as for each of the dioceses. The remainder of the publication is devoted to the minute points of inquiry appertain ing to each particular rectory, vicarage, perpetual cure, impropriate cure, and parishes without cure of souls. On every point entrusted to their care, these gentlemen appear to us to have bestowed their best attention, and to have carried on their in quiry in the most efficient manner ; and we think we may fairly say that the work which they have thus combined by their talents and great labour to produce, is unquestionably the best volume of statistics that has yet taken its place among the ar chives of any nation. The first important fact esta blished by the Commission is this, that the total po pulation of Ireland is little short of eight millions, the real numbers being 7,943,940 ; of these, to round the odd numbers, 6,428,000 are Roman Catholics, for whom the State has made no ecclesiastical provision whatever. On the contrary, the provision which an ciently belonged to them, consisting of the pious be quests of individuals, the donations of noblemen and others, endowments by the Crown, and estates pur chased with the moneys of monastic and other reli gious institutions, were taken away from a whole Ca tholiri people by repeated Acts of the British and Irish Lerzislaturcs, by illegal confiscations, by open usurpa ticins, such as have no parellel in an) other country, considering the relative paucity of the Protestants, in whose favour these enormous spoliations were perpe trated. No means were left unattempted on the part of successive English Sovereigns and Governments, and factions and sects, to force the " Reformed" reli gion upon Ireland. Her own faith was vilified as a foul superstition---it was ridiculed as an absurdity —it was inveighed against as a falsehood—it was reasoned against as a prejudice—it was decried as a nuisance--it was abhorred as a disgrace to the pride of man's intellect—it was warred against by artillery—it was sworn against in the name of the God of all Truth by a greater number and a greater variety of oaths than have ever been devised by any other ci vilized nation upon ally one subject—declaration after declaration was issued against it—statute after statute endeavoured to hunt it down, and extirpate its priests and its followers, and overthrow their altars, and de stroy or alienate their temples, and reduce them to po litical helots, and bow them down to the very dust of misery and poverty and shame in their own native land I We have here the grand result of all these charitable enterprises for the propagation of the Gospel ! At the hour in which we write, Ireland calls the world to witness her state. Six millions and a hall of her people are still Roman Catholics, and notwith standing all that has been done by violence and injus tice of every description to plant the Protestant faith amongst.them, that form of worship has found, after three hundred years of incessant exertion, just 852,064 professors ! It is further to be observed, that even of this number the whole do no not belong to the Church by law established. The Commissioners state in their report that " the census of the members of the Established Church (given by the ministers of that church) includes a considerable number of Wesleyan Mehodists, who, although attending ser vice in other places of worship, consider themselves to be in a connexion with the Established Church, and wished to be classed as members of that body." The Commissioners add, " We do not report the par ticular number of these persons, but that it is consi derable, especially in some districts, will appear from an inspection of the number of their places of worship enumerated in their Reports, and the average number of persons attending divine service in each." We think it was a false delicacy on the part of the Com missioners not to have specified the numbers of the Wesleyans ; it would have saved the reader the very laborious process of making the calculation for himself. Upon the cursory examination which we have yet. been enabled to make, we think we are not far wrong in estimating the Irish Wes leyan Methodists at about eighty thousand alto gether, which will reduce the real number of the Protestants in Ireland to about 772,000. The Commissioners further state, that " they were not required by the terms of their Commission to distinguish the denominations and numerical propor tions of those other Protestants who really dissent from the-Established Church, and who desired to be classed as Protestant Dissenters ; and it is only by a reference to the names of the places of worship, and the statement of their average congregations, that the names of these religious denominations and their respective numerical importance can be collected from the Reports." Here again we can not avoid expressing a wish that the Commissioners had specified their precise numbers. The propor tion which the Methodists and the Protestant Dissenters bear to the Protestants of the Esta blishment is very important to be known in the present inquiry, not as a doctrinal question, but as affording the materials for ascertaining the real extent to which a Protestant Establishment, in its present form, is required at all in Ireland. For if the Wesleyan Methodists and Protestant Dis senters have ministers and churches of their own, as appears to be the case, it was not strictly cor rect to include their numbers in the sum total assigned to the members of the Establishment. Allowing, therefore, as we think we may safely do, seventy thousand, or thereabouts, for the number of the Protestant " Dissenters," we shall have as a result the total numbers of the population belonging to the Established Church at about seven hundred thousand. We shall take another opportunity of going carefully through the whole of the details, and pledge ourselves to state the numbers of the Wesleyans and Pro testant Dissenters accurately. At present we shall assume them to be as we have just mentioned. The table gives the number of Presbyterians as amounting to no less than 246,356, a number very nearly equal to that of the members of the Establishment, and then it sets down the " other Protestant Dissenters" at 21,808, thus accounting for the whole population. The Commissioners stated above that the numbers of " Protestant Dissenters" who really differed from the Established Church, are only to be collected in the way they had there suggested. We have not time at pre sent to clear up this trifling obscurity, but we shall return to it. We now come to the number of the houses belonging to the different modes of worship. The Roman Catholics, for six millions and a half of people, have 2,105 places of worship, built by them selves ; the Protestants, for seven hundred thou sand persons, have 1,534 churches and chapels from the State I The six millions and a half have not a single benefice nor a single glebe house. The seven THE StYN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1835. hundred thousand have 1,472 benefices, many of which are richly endowed, and 850 glebe-housesl I But let it be observed, as the most monstrous part of this system for propagating the Christian Gospel, th4t of all these benefices there are only 118 which can boast of more than one church in each, there are 1,057 in which there is only one church in each, anki there are 210 in which there is no church at all ! Of course the Ministers who receive their tithes and en joy their different kinds of income from these 1,472 benefices, reside upon them, ready to preach the word " in season and out of season," by way of showing their readiness at least to earn the luxuries they so abundantly possess. Of the whole there are absolutelY no more than 889 benefices, out of the 1,472 endowed in Ireland, in which the incumbents are residents There is a specimen of a Christian establishment! But this is not all. The table shows that there are 339 of these benefices, so deserted by the cumbent, in which the duties are performed by himself (occasionally) or his curate ; and that there are 157 benefices " in which," to use the words of the Commissioners, " the incumbent is non-resident, and no Divine service is performed by him or a curate in a place of worship." They here add the words " place of worship," because where there is no " church,' the service is sometimes performed in a school-house, or other building convenient for the purpose. We shall see hereafter in how many of these latter 157 utterly abandoned benefices, churches or other places of wor ship have been actually provided. But the comparative numbers of the population upon which this enormous establishment has been bestowed by the favour of Par liament and the Crown, exhibit the Irish Church in its most shocking aspect. There are, in all, only twelve of the Irish benefices in which the actual number of Pro testants exceeds 5,000 ; there are 91, in which it fluctuates from that number to 2,000 ; there are 139, in which it falls off towards 1,000 ; there are , 209 in which it dwindles t o wards 500 ; there are 286, in which it sinks towards 200 ; there are 224, in which it diminishes towards 100 ; there are 160, in which the descending scale terminates in 50 ; there are 124, in which the register points to 20 ; there are, po sitively 99 where that 20 is the highest number, and it falls away to a unit; and there are 41 benefices in Ireland in which the " Protestant people " of Ireland are not represented even by a unit—not containing a single member of that Church I Therefore, if we were to begin at 200 as the number of persons fairly en titled to an Establishment in Ireland upon the existing scale of benefices, the remainder to be provided for upon some more rational and more economical plan, here we have no fewer than 648 benefices in that coun try, the revenues of which the Legislature may apply at once to the education of the people at large, with out the slightest injury to the real wants of the Pro testant Church in that country I—Morning Chronicle. The Municipal Corporations Bill is to be committed to-night, and as there are many amendments to be moved, it has occurred to us that our readers may like to see in a small compass, a description of the measure as it stands, so far as regards the parts sought to be amended. We propose, therefore, to make such description without note or comment. The Governing Body should perhaps be first mentioned. It coirsists. by the Bill, of a Mayor and Common or Town- Council ; but the Bill requires no qualification either for the Mayor or the Councillors. Sir R. Peel has given notice of an amendment " to establish a qualifi cation for councillors." These are the words of the Right Hon. Baronet's notice. It will be recollected that he alluded in a recent debate to Lord Brougham's Bill, which, making the governing body to consist of Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Councilmen, required the same qualification for all,—namely, the possession of property (real or personal) to the amount of one thousand pounds. The Franchise is the next point to be mentioned. The 6th clause of the Bill regulates the franchise, and it runs thus : " And be it enacted, that after the passing of this Act every male person of full age, who, on the last day of August in any year, shall have been an inhabitant householder within any borough, or within seven miles of such borough, and shall have occupied any house, warehouse, counting-house, or shop within such borough during that year, and each of the two preceding years, and who shall have been rated, in respect of premises occupied by him, to all rates for the relief of the poor of some parish, wholly or in part within such borough, made in that year, and in each of the two years next preceding that year, shall, if duly enrolled according to the provision>, hereinafter contained, be a burgess of such borough, and member of the body corporate of the mayor and burgesses of such borough : provided, that the premises in respect of the occupation of which any person shall be so rated need not be the same premises, or in the same parish, but may be different premises in the same parish or in different parishes : pro vided also, that every person who shall come to occupy any house, warehouse, counting-house, or shop in any borough, dur ing the time for which any rate for the relief of the poor shall have been made, to which he would have been rateable if he had been occupying there at the time when such rate was made may claim to be rated to such rate in respect of the property which he shall so come to occupy, and upon his so claiming and paying or tendering the amount of rate, if any, then due in respect of the premises, he shall be taken to have been rated to the relief of the poor in the parish in which such premises are situate, from the time at which the rate in respect of which he shall have made such claim shall have been made : Pro vided also, that no person shall be so enrolled in any year who shall not have paid all such rates due from him at the time of the revision of the burgess roll, hereinafter provided, except such as shall have been made or become due with six calendar months next before such revision : Provided also, that no per son shall be so enrolled in any year who within 12 calendar months next before such revision shall have received parochial relief or other alms, or any pension or charitable allowance from any fund intrusted to the charitable trustees of such borough hereinafter mentioned." . . In - this clause several amendments are to be pro posed. On the one hand, Sir R. Peel has given notice, that he will move " that the payment of rates for borough purposes should be equally necessary for the qualification of a burgess with the payment of rates for the relief of the poor ;" and also, " that the overseer shall place on the list of burgesses those only who shall, on or before a given day, previous to the making out of the lists, have paid all rates due in re spect of the premises occupied by them (except such rates as shall have been made or become due within six calendar months before such day), and that the right of voting shall be limited to such persons." Mr. Scarlett is to move at the end of the 6th clause the following proviso :—" Provided also that no person shall be entitled to be enrolled upon the burgess roll, who shall not have paid in local and parochial rates the annual amount of twenty shillings for three years pre ceding such enrolment." On the other hand, 111 r. Divett is to move, in clause 6, " that the qualification of a burgess depend on one year's rating instead of three." The Registration of Municipal voters is much the same under the Bill as the registration of vote's for Members in Parliament—indeed, the registration clauses of the Municipal Corporations Bills are copied, mutatis mutandis, from the Reform Act. The Mayo: is to act as Revising Barrister. In reference to these clauses Sir James Graham is to move " the insertion of words directing the Town-clerk to examine the vali dity of all claims to be inserted on the burgess roll, t( make objections where he shall see just cause, and t( sustain such objections on the revision of the lists before the Mayor, the cost of making and sus, taining those objections by the Town-clerk to b.. paid out of the borough fund." The Mode conducting Elections is, to state it shortly, tha the voters are to sign their names to the lists o. candidates for whom they vote, and hand those lists, so signed, to the Mayor. Lord Stanley is to move al amendment " to prevent fraud and facilitate the pub. licity of votes." The object of this amendment may no doubt be gathered from his Lordship's speech th( other evening, in which he observed that this mode o` voting may be made a secret mode of voting, not an open. Mr. Barlow Hoy is also to move " that the votes be taken openly in the manner now usual at elec tions for Members to serve in Parliament." Lord John Russell has pledged himself to supply an omission in this part of the Bill. As it stands, the Mayor, solely and without check or control, having to make the re turn, to decide upon whom the election has fallen, might make a false return. On the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell promised to put an efficient check u p on t h e M ayor b y means of scru tineers, or oth erw i se . Th ere i s an amendment of quite the opp os it e ten d ency threatened. Mr. Grote has given notice, that h e w ill move t h at " the town Council in any Municipal Corporation, have the power to declare, that the votes "of the qualified rate-payers at Municipal Elections, shall be taken by way of ballot, in a manner similar to that which is directed by the 15th and 16th clauses of the ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, entitled -An Act for the better Regulation of Vestries." The object of Mr. Grote, as declared by himself in the House, is to introduce vote by Ballot in Municipal elections. Again, in re .,rence to this part of the subject, the Bill divides only 'ie very largest boroughs into wards. Lord Stanley is given notice of an amendment " to extend the • inciple of division into wards ;" and Mr. Barlow Hoy to move " that every town or borough containing , ove 15,000 inhabitants shall, for the purpose of acting the council, be divided into four wards. The . 6ctions of the Common Council are in the Bill to be iennial, and one-third of the council are to go out .-ery year. Lord Stanley is to move an amendment to diminish the frequency of elections." It will ) remembered that Lord Stanley said, on the second ading of the Bill, that it would be better if the ections were fixed for every six years, one-half of . ie Council going out every three years, or one iird every two yea's. Contrary to the spirit of Lord tanley's amendment, is that of Mr. C. Buller, who as given notice that he will move " That the whole ',ouncil shall be elected every year ;" and conse ,uently that the provision respecting one-third going ut annually be struck out of the Bill. The Licens ig of Alehouses is committed by the Bill to the Colu mn Council, or. to a committee thereof appointed by he whole body. Sir James Graham has given notice hat he will move " That in boroughs to which a se iarate commission of the peace shall be given, ale- `louse-licenses be granted by the Recorder and borough ustices : in boroughs to which no such separate commis ;ion shall have been given, that the alehouse licenses be granted by the county magistrates." Against and in favour of the Recorder and Town Clerk, amendments are also directed. Thus, Mr. Harvey is to move, " that no person shall hold the - pffiee of Recorder of a city, town, or borough, who practices at the assizes or sessions of the county in which such town or bo rough is situate." Mr. Barlow Hoy is to move, " that no person being the Representative in Parlia ment of a town or borough shall gold the Recordership, or act as Judge, in such town or borough." Lord Stan ley is to move an amendment, "giving to the town clerk, hereafter to be appointed, a tenure of office during good behaviour." The administration of justice is intimately connected with this part of the measure. Mr. C. Buller is to move " that provision be made for the adequate administration of civil and criminal justice, by a com petent judge constantly residing in the borough." The rights reserved by the Bill are merely pecuniary rights, and the reservations are objected to by some Hon. Members, while others desire to carry them further. So Mr. Praed is to move—" An instruction to the Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill, for the reservation of existing corporate rights, whe ther inchoate or complete, to those who at present enjoy them." Mr. Divett, on the other hand, is to move—" To omit the exemption of existing -burgesses from tolls and dues ;" and if that motion should be lost, then Mr. Seale is to move—" That the exemp tions be only preserved to those existing bur gesses who may have legally given a valuable- con sideration for their franchise." Some general reservations will complete our description. They are as follow :—Mr. Scarlett is to move, by way of instruction to the Committee, to 4pro vide " That every person now being an Alderman shall during his life remain a member of the Town Council by virtue of his office, and shall enjoy henceforward all the rights and privileges of a Town Councillor." Mr. Scarlett is also to move an instruction to the committee " to exempt the cities and towns corporate mentioned in the first and second section of Schedule A, from the operation of the Act, with the view of placing them under different regulations." Sir R. Inglis has given notice that he will move clauses : " 1. That the said bill shall not come into operation in any borough (the making up the roll of burgesses therein always excepted), until it shall have been accepted by the absolute majority of the said burgesses. _ _ That the town council shall be styled the Court of the Mayor and Council of our Lord the King in and for the bo rough of A, and shall have the powers of a Court of Record. "3. That members of the town council shall not be amove able, except by the absolute majority of the burgesses regis tered in the borough. "4. That the municipal oaths shall be liken by the bur gesses, and by the mayor and members of the town council, and by the recorder and town-clerk. " Lord Stanley—to move in clause 22, an amendment to diminish the frequency of elections. " Clause 27. Amendment to prevent fraud, and facilitate the publicity of votes. " Clause 30. Amendment to extend the principle of division into wards. " Clause 42. Amendment giving to the town clerk, here after to be appointed, a tenure of office during good behaviour." Lord John Russell will doubtless, by propositions of his own, render the moving of some of these amend ments unnecessary. For instance, he has pledged him self that he will adhere to the . franchise as regulated by the Bill, and has promised that he will enforce it bond fide; that he will not object to secure open voting ; that he will (as we have observed above) put some efficient check upon the Mayor in his capacity of returning officer at municipal elections, and that he will consider favourably all other suggestions which may tend to improve the measure.—Times. Sir Robert Peel, at the late Harrow School ince ing, in proposing the health of the Governors, preface:l the toast by an observation which we cannot help thinking might as well have been spared. That ob servation was, that "although they were self -elected, he believed they stood in no need of reform." And this remark, which was received with loud cheers by the company, the Right Hon. Gentleman illustrated by stating that " there could not be a stronger instance of the deep interest which these noblemen and gentle men took in the welfare and prosperity of this eminent school, than the fact which had occurred during the past year—viz., that owing to agricultural distress, the estates of the school, which were devoted to provide for scholarships, were found non-productive ; but rather than this deficiency should be an interregnum in the annals of the school, the Governors themselves had made up the deficiency, or rather, provided a scholar ship at their own expense." This act of liberality on the part of these noblemen and gentlemen may, for aught we know, be entitled to all the eulogiu rn her e bestowed upon it ; but there is a high authority, which, rightly taken, is calculated to curb excessive vanity on this as well as on other occasions. That authority says " these things ought you to have done, and not have left the others undone." And we feel strongly persuaded that not only the Governors of Harrow School, but of nearly every other of our numerous public schools and colleges, are guilty of a sin of omis sion, which is inflicting much present injustice, as well as entailing serious national injury. We allude to the enormous expense of education in this country, so far, so preposterously far, exceeding anything in any other country in the world where sound and valuable instruc tion for youth is to be obtained. We take the case of Harrow, because it is put forward in terms which carry with them its own self-condemnation. " Owing," says Sir Robert Peel, himself the author of the fatal Cur rency Bill which has p ro d uce d t h e ev il—" O w i ng, " says he, " to agricultural di stress , t h e estates o f the school, which were devoted to provide for scholar ships, were found non-productive." And have not estates of parents whose son s are at H arrow, Eton, Westminster, Winchester, Oxford, an d C am b r id ge, undergone similar defalcations, and from the same cause ? And are those whose duty it i s as governors, trustees, guardians, visitors, masters, tutors, or under whatever other designation this singular variety of personages may be classed, are they, we ask, one or all, justified in allowing every head of ch arge at t h ese places to remain undiminished, while the y ou th o f Eng land are consigned by shoals to seek a wishy- was h y education in France, or one, of more value it is true, in Germany, at the expense, however, of having in early years their affections too often weaned from their mother country ? With all our respect for Sir Ro bert Peel, we assert that this does want reform that cries aloud for it, and that, instead of afford ing a proof of the value of the self-electing system, it carries with it a strong presumption at least against it. Is it just, is it honest, towards parents, that the already overgrown profits of those connected with the places of education we allude to should increase just in proportion as the means of paying them dimi nish ? And are we to be told by those whose indivi dual wealth is so excessive as no pressure of the times can reach, that this is a system which stands in need of no reform ? And is not Sir Robert Peel himself, we would ask, a Governor of a public school, where this system of self-election prevails, and where reform is as much called for as in any public establishment in the kingdom.? We are aware that when Lord Brougham's Charity Commission first issued, a stand, and that an effectual one, was made against any of the establishments we allude to coming within the range of its inquiry. The reason given was something like that now put forward by Sir Robert Peel, that the persons who had the control of them were all per fect, and beyond even the whisper of doubt or suspi cion. That these establishments, most of them at least, possess the "plura nitent" we do not deny ; but they, at the same time, possess faults and defects, of which we have pointed out a glaring one, which calls loudly for correction, and cannot, if cherished, much longer escape the searching hand of reform.— Morning Herald. In a letter which has recently appeared in the news papers Col. Evans, while he deplores his inability to answer with due courtesy and despatch, all the letters addressed to him, talks of the " British Auxiliary force" about to proceed to Spain. When Colonel Evans, in his double capacity of Commander-in-Chief, and Member for Westminster, shall have again occa sion, while he advertises his courtesy and punctuality, to speak of the force under his command, we take leave to require from him that he designate more cor rectly the body of men over whom (by whose authority we know not) he has been appointed to assume (or has assumed, without having been appointed,) a com manet?-- If Col. Evans has been nominated by his Majesty the King of England, to take the command of an army of intervention, sent into Spain by the Royal authority, and under the Banner of England, he would, with perfect propriety, call such an army " The British Auxiliary force." The epithets, " British" and " Auxiliary," would not be misap plied, nor would the meaning of them be prostituted. In the present case they are both ;—and Col. Evans, if he have that knowledge of military etiquette which he is generally supposed to possess, should know that when he speaks of a body of men over whom he holds command, by other authority than that of the King of England, he should hesitate before he applies to such a force the honourable and respect-com manding designation he has chosen to usurp for his present irregularlarly-banded and heterogeneous mer cenaries. At the head of those men Colonel Evans may ride or walk, with the ensign of the Queen of Spain displayed, and with all the pomp and circiiiu stance which may belong to such blazonry. He may do more. He may set forth his own shield and quarter ings in .whatever size and dimensions it may please him to have them displayed, and for ought we know he may obtain permission, under such a talisman, to lead his men into action. We have no doubt that the Gallant Officer (for he is a British officer) would strike a good blow for his own banner, if required. But to hold the standard of England we have other hands I Our gal lant Sovereign and our countrymen will never trust that precious ensign out of their own sight and keep ing, but in such custody as that it shall run no risk of touching the dust—or of being defiled. But we will preserve even its attendant attributes intact. To call any force over which that banner does not wave " The British Auxiliary Force," is to hang out false colours. Let the muster be called " The Palmerston Rovers," or " The Evans Brigade"—Zumalacarregui will still fight with a light heart, for he is not a deeply-read scholar, and the names may not have reached him. But the STANDARD OF ENGLAND I—The Guerrilla Chief would fight with the sun in his eyes ! The " Palmerston Rovers," even though Mr. Place should clothe them, will not be quite so dazzling.—Morning Post. The mock Reformers in the House of Commons purpose to unmask to-night on going into Committee on the Municipal Corporation Bill. Every effort will be made to limit the franchise, impede its exercise, and destroy in its details the great principles acknow ledged in the Bill. Sir Robert Peel, deservedly I entitled to precedence whenever justice is to be as sailed by traitorous wile, leads the attack, in the shape of an amendment, that the payment of rates for borough purposes, as well as the payment of poor-rates, should be equally necessary for the quali fication of burgesses ; and that the right of voting should be limited to those who have paid all rates due in respect of the premises occupied by them. Should this amendment pass, it will at one fell swoop cut down to less than one-half the number who would otherwise be admitted to the franchise. We have opposed, from the first, the principle of making the exercise of the franchise dependant on the payment of more than the annual rates. The law is already effi cient to enforce the payment of the rates, and even if it were not, why should the right of voting be made the instrument of collecting taxes, and thereby placed to a certain extent at the discretion of a factious or partial collector ? Is not the property and person of the in dividual sufficient security for the amount of taxation on that property, without, in addition, making the de faulter an outcast from the body politic ? The payment qualification clause in every case is the stab of the assas sin—of a false friend, who would present the cup to in sure the deadly blow. We trust therefore, that the really liberal Members will be on the alert in the Connnittc(,, and so modify the clause that the qualification will be co-extensive with the rating, and not limited to the actual payment thereof. The Peel amendment would not only be destructive of the first principle of th e Bill, but a l so a s ource of endless litigation and quar rel.To cheat any individual of his vote, it would be only necessary to let any one of his many borough rates remain unpaid, which would be secunduin Peel a legal ground disfranchisement. Lord Stanley is to move amendments to diminish the frequency of elections, and make the office of Town clerk depend on good behaviour only, so that when the Council have time to become corrupt they may act the censores triorum of the Town Clerks. An amendment, properly so called, is to be moved by Mr. Grote, that the Town Council may order the votes at Municipal Elections to be taken by ballot. The other motions are as follow :—Mr. Scarlett is to move that all persons now Aldermen shall, during their lives, remain Members of the Town Council ; and that no persons shall be enrolled who have not paid in local. and parochial rates 20s. for three years prece ding such enrolment. Mr. Harvey is to move that the office of Recorder of a city, town, or borough, shall not be held by any person practising at the assizes or sessions of such city, town, or borough. Mr. Charles Butler is to move, in clause 87, that provision be made for the adequate administration of civil and criminal justice by a resident Judge. It is evident from the foregoing that there is a most urgent necessity for a strong muster of the friends of Reform to watch to consummation the great measure at present in progress. Otherwise many improvements necessary in the pro posed Bill may , be omitted ; and many injuries of a fatal tendency inflicted by the lurking liberticides on both sides of the House.—Morning Advertiser.

" THE STUDENT," BY THE AUTHOR OF " ENG LAND The subjects of these vo lLuAmNeus A ar N e D ve i r i ;Z:l l ;:! H lCis curious, however, to observe, in the way of interest merely, the result of Mr. Bulwer's masterly mode of treatment. Here are many subjects examined, not one of them, however, seems limited to itself—to the single and critical inquiry. We read as w e are to ld to i nqu i re b y t h e light of imaginat ion. Objects are pr esen t e d t o us as i n p oe t r y, not as they are in themselves actually, but as they are moulded, by other thoughts andleelings, into an infinite variety of shapes and combinations of rower. We feel the greatest interest, single as well as vanous. Th ere i s t h e o b servat i on wh i c h keeps all things distinct, yet the imagination which fuses all things. There is the unlimited p ower o f suggest i on, yet t h e point at which the mind rests satisfied. Mr. Bulwer speaks in one part of the book of possessing himself in thought of a shadowy and unreal future.' His f u t ure i s ne i t h er s h a d owy or unreal. Posterity i s, indeed, a difficult mark to hit, but if ever man did it, Mr. Bulwer has sent the arrow home."—Examiner. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

OLD COURT. Naomi Poone, aged sixty-five, was indicted for having, on the 2d of April, administered certain drugs to Mary Ann Preedy, for the purpose of procuring abortion. Another count charged her with using instruments to effect a like purpose. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. TALBOT conducted the prosecu tion ; Messrs. ADOLPHUS and CLARKSON the defence. Mary Ann Preedy, aged seventeen, was first called, and examined by Mr. Talbot. She stated she had lived with her parents at Wimbledon, where the prisoner also lived. She became acquainted with the prisoner soon after she was at Wimbledon, in the month of August 1833. About ten weeks after this the prisoner was standing near her father's house, when she asked witness if her mother did not intend to mu der her. She replied in the negative, and begged of her not to mention murder, or she should go mad. She then said her mother would murder her, and she could prove it. The next day she repeated the same threat, and said she was sure wit ness was ill-treated: ghe . then told her to pack up her clothes and run away to her grandfather. The prisoner also endea voured to get witness a situation as a companion to a lady, but failed; when she told witness she would procure her a place as a companion to a gentleman, witness wished to know what service she was to perform, when the prisoner replied—" Oh► you know." She declared she did not, when the prisoner re plied--" You must be a d—d natural fool not to know," Wit ness was then between 15 and 16 years of age. A few day! after, the prisoner again introduced the subject, and the pri soner told her the would introduce her to a house of ill fame, in London, telling her it was the best life a young girl could em brace ; describing the amusements they enjoyed—their operas, theatres, masquerades, &c., and the smart clothes they wore- -- they did not work and had excellent wages. The prisoner came to her while she was fastening the shutters, and after ascer taining that her parents were from home, she introduced * young man to her, whom witness accompanied into the pri soner's house. The same man subsequently visited her oa two occasions. Witness enquired of the prisoner who the man was? but she would never tell her. In the month of Febru ary witness became pregnant, and informed the prisoner of that fact. She, however, said it was all nonsense. In the following months of March and April she again told the pri soner, who then said she was afraid it was so, and the offence charged in the second count of the indictment was committed• Some days after she gave her some medicine, which she told her would do her good, and which had the effect of procuring abortion. Had some conversation with the prisoner a few days before she charged her at Union-hall, when she wished her to go to Dean-street or Drury-lane, saying she was miserable , while she stopped at Wimbledon. She afterwards told wit ness she was undone ; she had committed herself out of her own mouth. Cross-examined by Mr. A DOLPHUS-My father is a tailor at Wimbledon, and has a number of female friends residing in the town. Lived on pretty good terms with her parents until her acquaintance with Mrs. Poone. After that her father was much displeased with her, and brought her before the Justice. She had confessed to them she had stolen a few things. Several respectable witnesses expressed their opinion that the prosecutrix was unworthy of belief. Mr. Baron BoLLAND summed up the evidence, and The Jury, after having retired about 35 minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The Rev. Mr. Ingleman stood forward, and stated that the expenses of the prisoner's defence would be defrayed by al!b scription of the inhabitants of Wimbledon, at the bead of winch hie should feel great satisfaction in placing his name. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO U SE. A young man, named Octavius Smith, was brought befor e Alderman Lainson (who sat for the Lord Mayor), in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged wit h having committed an extensive forgery upon the banking' house of Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Stone. Mr.BusH, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for protection against frauds and forgeries, attended for tbs prosecution. The prisoner had no law adviser. Mr. Francis William Fry, of No. 16, King Willis °. street, clerk to Messrs. Stone and Co., bankers in Loin' bard-street, paid the check for the sum of 4001. just handed to him by Mr. Bust, in the banking-house, oe Thursday, the 12th of March, 183.5. The following copy of the check : " No. 254. Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Stone, " Pay to the Chichester Bank, or bearer, 4001. " Pay Bank, E. S. " EASTHOPE and Som." Witness paid the amount to the prisoner, whom he know to be a clerk in the house of Messrs. Easthope and Co., stock brokers, of Lothbury. Having been in the habit of seeing the prisoner three or four times a week at the banking' house, he paid the check with confidence as to its correct ness in every respect. The notes in which it was-paid were two Bank of England notes, for 2001. each—the one. No. 9,502, dated 12th of February, 1885 ; the other, Ne. 9,515, of the same date. The signature bore a re semblance to the usual mode of signing, but witness- now believed that the signature was not genuine. The prisoner was remanded for a few days. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
