PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the COMMONS, on Friday, the Ayr Harbour Bill was passed. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from Great Yarmouth, complain ing of practices adopted there at the last electic.n, and praying for the protection of the Ballot. Mr. WASON stated that he bad heard that two guineas, and two guineas-and-a-half a head, were given for votes for one of the Hon. Members. The same Hdn. Member, in referring to the late Ipswich Election, gave notice that he should move on Monday that Mr. Bignold, and other Magistrates of Norwich, should be taken into custody. Mr. GISBORNE moved that the ATTOR NEY- GENERAL be instructed to prosecute Mr. Dasent. On a division the numbers were—for the motion, 198 ; against it, 141. On a motion for the discharge of Mr. Pilgrim, after some discussion, that person and Mr. Dasent were ordered to be called to the bar and discharged. The other parties still re main in custody, that they may amend their petitions and ex press a willingness to give further evidence. After an inter ruption, occasioned by Mr. licissoN, Lord MORPETH intro duced his Bill respecting Irish Tithes, and the appropriation of the surplus revenues of the Church Establishment in Ireland. For a complete statement of the details of this important mea sure, we must refer to the Speech of the Noble Mover. The principle of the Bill embraces—first, the final settlement of the question of tithes in Ireland ; and, secondly, the future re gulations of the revenues of the Irish Church. No arrears for tithes farther back than 1834, are contemplated by the Bill. The measure is intended to be both prospective and retrospec tive. The remission of all sums due under the Million Act, and the application of the residue of that sum are proposed. Tithes to the amount of 12,0001. only had been collected, and that by the aid of the military, and at an expense of 28,0001. Having disposed of the question of arrears, the Noble Viscount said that he meant to convert the Tithe Com position into an annual rent-charge, to be paid by the owners of first estates of inheritance ; this rent-charge was to be 73/. ss. for every 100/. of tithe composition, subject to a per centage, and to be made payable of right to the Commissioners of land revenue, so that if the clergy had any difficulty in the collection of their tithes, then the Commissioners might levy the amount of arrears. A distinction between lay and eccle siastical impropriators, favourable to the latter, is made. An union of parishes and a diminution of income to the parson in certain cases are contemplated. Where no duty is performed 51. is to be annually given to the clergyman of the next parish for—taking care of it. (Sir R. PEEL wished to substitute 150/. for this sort of duty.) Towards the conclusion of the Noble Viscount's speech he said that the Bill, whilst it grappled man fully and fearlessly with the principles of appropriation—whilst it attacked sinecures in whatever quarter or in whatever shape they existed—still he believed it was a measure calculated to give to Protestantism and to the Church the fullest security ; and s o fir from being, as had been argued, a measure likely to promote pillage of the Church property, its effect would be to re-open for it sources of vitality which had long been dried up. Sir H. HARDINGE violently opposed the Bill. Mr. HUME supported it, and " assured the Right Hon. Baronet that not only would the Bill pass that House, but the other House too, Those who refused the last Bill would refuse this, at their peril." After speeches against the measure, by Mr. O OULBURN, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. SHAW, Lord J. RUSSELL, in the course of his answer to the objection raised by them, claimed credit rather for the principle now for the first time iisserted, than for the perfect accuracy of the multiplicity of details inseparable from a measure surrounded by so many difficulties. The Bill at least would show that "the framers ' 3. ' the Bill had the moral and religious education of the people o n ,. Ireland at heart. It would also prove to the people of that and th e that, while the Protestant Church was provided for, the Protestant people were protected, the Catholic portion °T the community were not deemed wholly unworthy of the paternal care of their Sovereign." Leave was given to bring In th e Bin: and, after being- read a first time, the House ad iourned at about Two o'clock. T GUARDS-" `SIDE-ARMS." The following General Order has been issued from the Horse Guards, in reference to a subject upon which the public have so long bad reason to complain : " GENERA ORDER. " Horse Guards, June 18, 1833 " Sonic cases having lately occurred, in which soldiers have drawn their bayonets upon each other, and else upon other persons who happened to come in contact with them, whilst quarrelling in the streets and in public-houses. the General Commanding-in-Chief desires that the soldiers of the army may be reminded that they are armed for the protection of their King and country, and for the support and execution of the laws, when lawfully called out for these purposes ; that they wear their side-arms as an honourable distinction of the profession to which they belong ; that they are not to use the m i n private broils, or even for their own personal defence upon such occasions ; and that it is the duty of the soldiers to avoid resorting to places in which such broils are likely to take place, snore particularly when dressed, as soldiers, with their side-arms. " The General Commanding-in-Chief is determined to put an effectual stop to so dangerous and disgraceful an offence, by the punishment and degradation of every soldier who shall, hereafter, be convicted of it. " To this end Lord Hill desires that Commanding Officers of regiments and depots will bring to summary trial, for un toldierlike and disgraceful conduct, every man who shall be reported to hive drawn, or attempted to draw, his bayonet for the purpose of using it against another person, in any case of dispute, affray, or interference. " His Lordship further desires, that every soldier convicted before a Court-martial of having used, or attempted to use, his side arms, in any of the cases herein ccntemplated, may, in addition to the punishment awarded by the 'Court, be de graded on the public parade, in front of the regiment or de pot to which he belongs, by being there stripped of his bayonet and bayonet belt, and proclaimed by the Commanding- Offi cer as a man unworthy to be intrusted with the care of his yonet, except in the ranks, under the view and command of nu Officer. " In all such cases the offender shall be stripped of his side kilns by the pioneers, in order to enhance his degradation. He who is thus degraded shall not be suffered to wear his bayonet or bayonet belt, except upon duty, for one year from the date of his degradation, during which time he shall be denied every indulgence to which the good' soldier is entitled ; and shall march to church, in the ranks, without side arms ; his name shall, moreover, be posted up in some conspicuous place in the barrack room of the company to which he be &rigs, on the barrack gate, and on the doors of the guard house and canteen. " The General Commanding-in-Chief feels confident that these measures will, with the zealous co-operation of all classes of Officers, and the vigilance of the non-commissioned officers, noon rescue the army from the stigma which a few unworthy individuals would attach to it, by resorting to a base and unmanly expedient heretofore unknown amongst Britiish "Byeommnnd of the Right Hon. the General Command ing-in -Chief, JonN MACDONALD, Adjutant. General." `We have learned with much pleasure that, under the direction of Lord Duncannon, arrangements are in pro gress for opening the terrace at Somerset-house to the public. 'e need scarcely add, that the opportunity of healthful exer cise thus about to be. afforded in a neighbourhood heretofore dot enjoying that advantage will be most gratefully received. --Observer. REPRESENTATION OF OLDHAM—We have seldo m heard of such a host of candidates as common report has, for the last few days, been busy in assigning to the bo rough of Oldham in the approaching contest.

Mr. Knottin troduced t o the mee ti n g Mr. Feargus O'Connor, who had ar rived that morning. Mr. O'Connor addressed the meeting at considerable length. If Mr. John Cobbett was acceptable to the electors, and should give those pledges which they re quired and thought indispensable, then would he (Mr. O'Con nor) retire from the contest. Mr.•Condy thanked Mr. O'Con nor for this offer, and entreated the electors to suspend their Promises till Mr. J. Cobbett should arrive and clear up any doubt s that might exist. It was stated that unless Mr. John Cobbett would support a separation of Church and State, he would not receive the support of th a t c l ass o f the e le c t o rs. By the request of the Chairman, a messenger was then dispatched to the Albion Inn, for Mr. Ashton Yates, who came and ad dressed the meeting at some length —Manchester Guardian.

He declared the election by the Council of R. Preston, Esq., K. C., to the Professorship of Law in the College, and expressed the regret which all felt in the retire ment of Professor Anstiee from the classical department, on account of continued indisposition.

At the conclusion of the business his Lordship addressed the meeting in terms of congratulation on the happy progress the institution had made during the past year. We feel (said his Lordship) that in an educational point of view it is our duty to keep pace with the demands of the times ; and, looking to the results, I think I may safely say that we arc before them. " For myself," said his Lordship, " I take a peculiar pleasure in classical educa tion, and enjoy unmixed delight in coming to King's College as often as I possibly can, and viewing the pupils brought up in godliness and love." The meeting then adjourned. LONDON UNIVERSITY. On Saturday the distribution of the prizes by Lord Brougham, who presided in the Chair on this occasion, to the students of the London University who have most distin guished themselves in the session 1834-35, took place in the presence of the Members of the Council and the patrons and friends of the institution. The theatre was crowded in every part; amongst the company were a great number of ladies. We observed the Speaker of the House of Commons ; Mr. Tooke, the Member for Truro ; Professor Milne; Mr. James Booth, Dr. Bostock, Mr. Gibson, and other eminent indivi duals present. The business of the day was opened by the Dean of Faculty reading the Report. He stated that the period which had elapsed since the University was founded was too short for them to be able to boast of any who bad been educated there having distinguished themselves in public life, but many who had been compelled to resort to Cambridge to obtain those distinctions which " at present" the London University could not confer, had carried off the honours.—(Applause.) In ad dition to those who had distinguished themselves at Cam bridge, two of their students had been successful competitors at the University of Glasgow.—( Cheers.) The Report then went on to state that the progress of the students had been very satisfactory. During the late session 26 courses had been given, which had been attended by 465 students, this being a greater number than had attended in the previous session. It was also stated that a Chair of Geography had been established, and the University had the honour of being the first in the kingdom to appoint such a professor.

Hit ,Lordship said, the very important and gratifying business of this day having been brought to a close, and in such a manner as he thought must have afforded great satisfaction, as well to the visitors as to those who were immediately connected with the University, it was now his duty to sum up and conclude the whole by offer ing them a few observations, and he assured them they should be a few, for but a few were required. —( Hear, hear, hear.)

The funeral of this gentleman took place at Farnham, on Saturday last, at half-past two o'clock. To this town, which is 38 miles from London, many of those desirous of attendinc , the funeral repaired in the first instance. As, however, the procession did not mako its appearance there until twenty mi nutes past two o'clock, full time was allowed to all those desi ons of inspecting the native town of this celebrated man, and_ of visiting the spot on which he was born, and which his own descriptions, his character, and his fame, have invested with so deep and lively an interest. Scarce any of those, too, who had come the entire way from the farm of the deceased, failed, after they had seen his remains deposited in the grave, to go to see the house in which he was born. This House is situated at the southern extremity of the town. It is, and was as long as can be recollected, a public-house, and has borne the sign and gone by the name of the " Jolly Farmer." It is evidently a long time built, and is of considerable size. It has lately undergone a good many alterations, and some addition has been made to it in the rear ; but the present owner, apparently with no small degree of pride, ushers the visitor into the front room, and points out one corner of it as that where the cup board was placed from which " Cobbett himself" said he got his bread and cheese when a boy. Immediately at the back of the house lies an exceedingly steep sand rock, which is now partly planted, and of which Mr. Cobbett makes the following mention in his " Year's Residence" in America:— " Early habits and affections seldom quit us while we have vigour of mind left. I was brought up under a father whose talk was chiefly about his garden and his fields, with regard to which he was famed for his skill and his exemplary neat ness. From my very infancy, when I climbed up the side of a steep sap(' rock, and there scooped me out a plot, four feet square, to make me a garden, and the soil for which I carried up in the bosom of my little blue smock frock, I have never lost one particle of the passion for these healthy, and rational, and heart-cheering pursuits, in which every day presents something new, in which the spirits are never suffered to flag, and in which, industry, skill, and care are sure to meet with their due reward. I have never, for any eight months of my life, been without a garden. So sure are we to overcome difficulties, where the heart and mind are bent on the thing to be obtained." _ _ This rock commands a full view of the town and the surrounding country; and as his love for the occupations which he alluded to in the above paragraph was implanted by early habit and association, it is scarcely too much to infer that he imbibed the taste for that richness and beauty in English scenery which he always professed, from the prospect which this rock affords. The funeral procession quitted Normandy Farm at twelve o'clock. This farm is in the parish of Ash; a small and rather neat farm house, with barn s a n d other offices immediately about it, situated in a remote neighbourhood, between the two main London roads—the Bagshot road and the Guildford road —was the one in which this eminent man closed his life. It stands on Normandy -green, which is a small common, being a continuation of that i mmense w as t e c alled B a gshot Ik ath ; it may be said, indeed, to be the southern extremity of that heath, for not half a mile south of the farm house it ends, and you begin to mount the side of the ridge, in ascending which the first object of curiosity is Great Warnborough, whence the unfortunate but enterprising Morris Birkbeck went forth to the prairies of North America. In this secluded spot, miles . from any great road, and free from all intrusion, surrounned by everything that was truly rustic and homely, Mr. Cobbett ap pears to have indulged in his fancy for that simple mode of life in which he was born and nursed ; from which he was im pelled by chance or fate, but to which he seems to have leaned with delight during the whole of his life. The spot on which he first conceived the idea of mounting the coach, and corning to London, is close by. The scenes of his boyish days are scarcely out of sight-of the house; and " Crooksbury-hill," which he describes with so much enthusiasm in the first chapter of " The Year's Residence," shows its head a few miles to the west, and close to Farnham; " And, as the hare, whom hounds and horns pursue, Pants to the place from Whence at first hc flew," • he wrote of it and spoke of it as his resting-place from tile vexations and the bustle of his active and eventful life, as Isis last earthly abode. The body had been enclosed in a leaden coffin, with the in scription, " William Cobbett, born March 9, 1762 ; died 18th June, 1835." The hearse, in which it was conveyed to the burial place, was followed by three mourning -coaches, in which we observed the four sons of the deceased, Mr. John Leech, late Member for the county, Mr. Fielden, M.P. (Mr. Cob bett's colleague), Mr. E. Leech, Captain Donnellan, and other particular friends. It was joined at intervals by parties in chaises, on foot, and on horseback, at the different little greens or corners of the by-roads that it passed. De awn up on the side of one of these we observed Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Harvey, whose carriage took its place in the procession ; and shortly after, at another turning, it was joined by that of Mr. Williams, M. P., and Mr. Wakley, M. P. The train in creased as it went on ; and by the time it reached Farnham, thousands of labourers, with their wives and children, in their smock-frocks and straw hats, joined in it. The street of the town was thronged, and every window seemed to have its party. The ceremony of interment was, of course, the usual one. The coffin, after the service was read over it, was lowered into a brick vault securely formed, and in a part of the churchyard where a i , ead-stone, with the inscription, " George Cobbett, 1760," indicates the grave of the unconscious grand father of this celebrated political writer. Three large stone flags were placed ever the coffin with a view to greater security. Mr. STERLING and Mr. ROEBUCK, M.P. (Cop —No. I. " St. James's-street, June 27, 1835, Half past Two o'Clock, P.m. " Sin,--Within then' two hours a pamphlet has been sent to me, bearing for its title, The Stamped Press of London and its Morality,' &c., by J. A. Roebuck, Esq., M. P. " Probably, Sir, I make no mistake in identifying that name with yours. " The pamphlet sets out by an announcement that the author means to try conclusions' with certain gentry,' whom he charges with endeavouring to ' frighten him ;' and then, as if lurhad the slightest reason for insinuating that I was one of 'these gentry,' he applies to me a long series, and - extensive variety of the foulest epithets in the English language—such cowardice'—' baseness'—' skulking'—in order to escape the punishment due to my acts—' dishonesty'--selling myself to the ' Tory party'—charlatanism in society, to hide my editorship of the Times'—and a degree of depravity worse than that of ' an assassin.' • " Now, Sir, if the folly of such expressions were not ex ceeded by their iniquity, as directed against myself, I should not have deemed them worthy of the slightest notice. "There is only one word in the English Dictionary by which they can be fitly characterised; wishing, however, to write like a Gentleman, I shall just say that from whatever, quarter they proceed, they are gross and shameful misrepre sentations of every part of my principles and conduct. " I cannot violate confidences reposed in me, by going into specific refutations of charges, which no man living has the shadow of right, in truth or justice, to affix to my name or history. " I never have been technically or morally connected in any manner with till editorship of the Times—not possessing over the course or choice of its politics any power or influ ence whatsoever—nor, by consequence, being responsible for its acts. " This, however, I beg you to understand, is beside the subject of my application to you as the avowed author of the pamphlet in question. . . " My first purpose is to contradict in distinct and unequi vocal terms—generally and individually—one and all of the assertions which the author of that pamphlet has made with reference to myself. " Your absolute ignorance of every fact which concerns me does not Sacra to have prevented you from assuming such as are absolutely false in themselves, and of the most discreditable nature, if capable of being► supported ; nor has it restrained you from coupling them with language the most personally, offensively, and wantonly insulting. I state this one unvarying.absence of truth in each, and every one of the accusations in the pamphlet, rather as a warning to your conscience against the injustice of persisting in them than as any indulgence of temper or resentment on my part. " My friend, Colonel Campbell, who delivers you this letter,. will apprise you of my claim to a retractation of these outrageous and scurrilous phrases, which the author of the pamphlet has thought proper to apply to me. " I cannot permit myself to doubt that you will see the moral propriety of relieving your own mind from the con sciousness of having given them circulation.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " EDWARD STKItLING.

Molesworth, on the part of his friend Mr. Roe buck, remits to Colonel Cdmpbell a letter from Mr. Roebuck, addressed to Mr. Sterling. the contents of which Sir William considers as perfectly satisfactory to the honour and gratifying to the good feelings of both parties. " Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell." and variety of the instruction thus afforded by this University could not be exceeded either here or elsewhere, yet true it was that with respect to the number of the students who flocked here to drink at the source of the streams of ancient and mo dern learning, and not only of letters, but of philosophy na tural and moral, they did not equal, they fell considerably short of—though certainly they did equal them in merit and respec tability, and good conduct—those who attended with profes sional views, and especially those who attended the faculty of Medicine. But he might venture to say, that so numerous a body of medical students was not to be found gathered toge ther under the academic roof of any city or place as here.— ( Cheers.) And of the merits and capacities of the professors of that faculty, who were labouring to answer this great and growing demand for instruction, he should speak more at large if it did not happen that he was addressing himself to this meeting in their presence, and if he did not feel confident that their high characters were too well known to require, tin his part, that he should bear testimony to their great merits and services.—( Cheers.) But it had so happened—though in that respect, as well as generally speaking, the expectations of the founders and supporters of the University , had been far sur passed--,that the numbers who had attended the faculty of Arts had not been equal to their expectations. It would naturally be asked, how was it that the attendance had net been greater? He had often set himself to account for this, and it was with great difficulty that he came to any thing like an explaeation. He had been for a long period a freeman of the City of Lon don, and he well remembered the time when a very general complaint among the citizens was the want of such a Univer sity. " For God's sake (they used to say) let us have a Lon don University." But when the buildings were erected, when professors had been appointed, a library selected, and every thing ready, and when they expected the doors would be darkened by the number of students, why, strange to tell, the Londoners did not send their sons to this University, but pre ferred sending one out of five or six to Oxford or Cambridge, and leaving the others uneducated ? He could account for this only from the natural tendency that many good, worthy people had to go in the old beaten track, though there might be a precipice on the one hand, and a garden of Eden on the other. He hoped, however, a little further consideration would induce a change, and he had no doubt that the day would come when the doors would be darkened. Fault had been found with their having no course of religious instruction and observances. This did riot proceed from their undervaluing religion and re ligious observances, but because they held them to be matters of supreme importance, and upon which man should admit of no compromise. But they had only to look for one moment at the very essential difference between the circumstances of the students at Oxford and Cambridge, and those attending at the London University, to see a reason, and a very good one, for their having excluded all religious observances. At Oxford and Cambridge the students lived together, and belonged to the same religious body, and the only little religious educa tion many of them ever got was as the - University ; but here the students lived all under their parents' roofs, belonged to different religious bodies, and were brought up in the form of faith to which their parents subscribed. The Noble Lord then proceeded to show how well the same system had worked in Scotland, and statedthat he was this morning informed that even in King's College, with a view to facilitate the admis sion of Dissenters, there were now no forms insisted upon to which they could object —( Cheers. ) After congratulating those connected with the University upon the near prospect there was of obtaining a charter, his Lordship concluded his speech by announcing a donation of 1,000 guineas, made by some unknown munificent individual, who on a former occa sion sent a similar sum, with the view of its being devoted to the objects contemplated by the founders of the institu tion, The Noble Lord retired amidst immense cheering, and the meeting broke up.

On Thursday and Friday last Lord Denman was not called upon to sit an hour, and on Saturday there were no sittings at all, inasmuch as there were no cases to try. This fact we believe to be unprecedented for some centuries past. An Association, for the purpose of attending to the registration of voters in the Reform interest, has been estab lished at Steeple Bumstead, in North Esex• " , erti IT" ASS SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. i• The Times asserted on Saturday that the House abso lately "shrieked" with laughter, when Lord Morpeth, in the course of his masterly exposition of the new Tithe Bill, mentioned the sum of five pounds as the addition which would be made to the stipend of a clergyman of the Esta blishment, who would have to step over the border of his own benefice to administer spiritual consolation to a mem ber of his Church destitute of any other pastoral assistance. The assertion was perfectly true, except that all the enjoy ment derivable from that very elegant exertion of the- vocal powers, was limited to the " sections" of the moderate Tories, led by Sir Robert Peel, and to the ultras under the command of Sir Henry Harding°. Five Pounds per an num is, no doubt, disproportioned, beyond all reasonable calculation, as ccmpensation for the spiritual cure of a single individual. In that point of view it is ludicrous in the highest degree : for if we a were to pay a similar sum for the spiritual cure of six millions and a half of Catholics, for instance, the national treasury would be charged with an addition to its present annual expenditure of about thirty millions and a half sterling, which we very much - suspect John 8011 would be but little disposed to pay. We believe that in France twenty-five millions of people are spiritually taken care of at the moderate rate of about half a farthing of our money per head ; that in Spain, Italy, and Austria, the charge is about one half- - penny per head, and that in all other parts of the Conti nent the charge is less than it is even in France, for the religious superintendence of each individual composing their general population. No doubt, therefore, the payment of such a sum as five pounds for the spiritual cure of the otherwise deserted Protestant in Ireland, is enor mous beyond all example. It is not to be reasoned against. It is a fit subject for caricature for laughter for the load burst— the wild shriek, if you will ;- foil', in this case, if ever the adage were correct, it is most unquestionable, that " ridicule is the test of truth." Now we should like very much to know at which angle of the.oral aperture that smile would begin with which Sir Henry and his militant companions would receive the declaration, if such a declaration had been made by Lord Morpeth, that five pounds sterling happen, by a very remarkable coincidence, to be the exact sum which eight millions of people in Ireland pay for each of that favoured class of their community who choose to attend the services of the Established Church? Would they laugh at such a piece of intelligence ? Would they shriek at it ? We apprehend they would dance the Der vish step, so intolerable would be the sense of their incre dulity. Now as these gentlemen are of a mirthful race, and we really desire to afford them some little amusement, in return for the broadsides which we are sometimes obliged to - pour upon their ranks, we shall proceed to demonstrate the truth of the proposition which we have just hypothe tically announced. _ " Demonstration" here is a mathematical term, and therefore we must proceed step by step in the process. If the Shriekers will turn to pages 134, 135 (a) in the Report of the Instruction_ Commissioners, they will find that the members of the Established Church re siding within the parish of Clenfecle, in the diocese and province of Armagh—the diocese, too, of an Archbishop— are stated" to be 1;740 ; that they have one Church ; that in the summer time they have service twice on the Sunday, and that the average attendance at both the services througfi out the year is 200—not 260, be it observed, at each ser vice separately, but at both combined. It may be pleaded in excuse, that there are peculiar circumstances connected with that parish, such as that, in !het, it is only a part of a more ancient parochial division, and that the ecclesiastical edifice is not. well situated for the district to which it is now appropriated. We admit the plea, and pass on to pages 144, 143 (a), where we find the members of the Established Church in part of Erriglekeero,gue, same diocese, enume rated at 1,039. They have one church, and one ser vice on all Sundays and holidays, and the average at tendance is 130. It may be said that Erriglekeerogue is only a part of a parish, and that perhaps it might be in convenleat to some of that most religious, most favoured gentry, to go a quarter of a mile to hear service in a hand some building. We shall admit these pleas, though we can . - not avoid remarking, as an accidental circumstance, the strange contrast-exhibited by the unestablished religionists of the sane parish—the Catholics, Tor instance, who are set down at 3,736 persons in all, of whom the averane at tendance at their own services is stated at 2,334. Of this latter number, 600 hear mass on every Sunday and festival at Altnamuskan—" an altar in the open air !!" What Al the Shrickers say to that ? The Catholic people of that district have for centuries paid the tenth part of their miserable lot of oats and flax and potatoes, in money, to the " established" incumbent of the parish. They are com pelled to sustain, for the convenience of 130 persons, out of a population consisting in the whole of 7,097 individuals, a resident rector and a well-built church ; and yet of that seven thousand there are, if we may judge from the average, at least twelve hundred individuals so utterly destitute of ecclesiastical proteetioa from the State, that if they go forth upon the Sabbath to put up their prayers in common to the God of all Nature, they have no cushion to kneel upon but the bare rock, no pew but the fissure in that rock, no temple but the mountain, no roof to shield them from the inclemency of the weather but the sky ! What say the &Tickers to that ? It may, however, he pleaded by way of apology for this most religious,. most civilized nation under the sun, that those houseless wor shippers of the Deity are only Catholics, mere Irish ; we admit the plea. It is strictly conformable to law, to pre cedent, to practice, to every thing that can make the plea irresistible in this land of- toleration and freedom, and we pass on to the next page. Let us look at the parish of Kildress, still in the diocese of the Archbishop—nay, of the . Primate of all Ireland. Here is a parish especially well taken care of—it has a churcla'a rector, and a curate, both of whom are resident in a comfortable glebe-house, with the usual pleasant appendages of gardens and farms. These two gentle men cannot, however, afford time to perform on Sundays and festivals more than one service, which service is usually attended by 120 persons in summer, and by 76 in winter, out of an established population of 1,338 persons! What will the Shrickers say to that? Killishal, in the same dio cese, has 458 of the fortunate " established," a Church of course, a glebe-house, a rector, and a curate, - both resi dent, one service, and just sixty auditors of their sermons, and examples of the zeal with which they execute their du ties. Killyman, its neighbour, has the advantage of a re sident rector and curate, a glebe-house, a Church, and ono service, 3,499 persons, of whom 400 on the average attend on the Sundays. Loughall (p. 130 a), has the peculiar happiness of being the abode of a rector and two curates, of - 2,933 established—three hundred attend Church. We apprehend that—from these data,—which we have taken at random from the Report, and from others which we shall take care to produce from the same autho rity to-morrow, we shall be entitled to draw this conclusion —that for every thousand of the Irish people " established by law" in their religion, less than due hundred usually attend their service. We believe it will be found, on a careful examination of the Report, that of the 800,000 of the " Established" throughout Ireland, about. 100,000, on the average, grace the Churches by their presence on Sun days and Festivals ; and as the total revenue of the Estab lishment may be taken to be about 500,0001., it follows that for each individual who goes to a particular Church in Ireland the country actually pays the sum of five pounds sterling ! wherefore, the demonstration is evident. Now, what will the shriekers say to that ? We promise them abundance of this sort of (mum:mt.—Morning Chronicle . As Lord John Russell announced on Friday night that the Bill relative to the Established Church in Ireland will not be read a Second time till the Municipal Corporations Bill shall have been disposed of—we suppose we may take it for granted that the Bill is not quite prepared. If this be so, the few observations we think it necessarth to make now may possibly save cur Ministers from writing them selves down as of the character and capacity of which-Lord Morpeth has declared them to be. The most glaring mis take in the Bill (supposing such a measure to be worthy of serious treatment) is to be found in the principle upon which it professes to proceed with regard to its spiritual schedule A. In this schedule are to be put all parishes which did not, according to the census of 1831, contain more than fifty Protestants. The reason of fixing upon the census of 1831 as the guide was rather darkly sha dowed out by Lord Morpeth. He said that it had been hinted that there might be danger in proceeding upon a nu merical standard. In the House of Commons, we believe, Lord Stanley was the first to make this suggestion, and, if our recollection fail us not, Mr. O'Connell admitted the suggestion to be well worthy of consideration. In neither case, however, was the nature of the danger clearly ex plained. But this is no time for mincing matters. The meaning was, that if a numerical scale be adopted, tl e Protestants will stand the best possible chance- of being murdered, until their numbers are reduced below the point at which legislative reformation is to begin. The " tail" may wince, as in the House they have winced, at hints of the fact ; but it must be told, and plesin& told. We are well aware of the old trick by which it is sought to evade this admitted danger. It is said—" Oh, you cast a refl:e. tion on the whole body of Catholics—you suppose it to bo a tenet of the Catholic religion that they shall murder Pro testants." The persons who hold this language must le , actuated by some base motive, because they cannot fill to know that what they say is false. No Christian man has ever said or insinuated anything of the kind : but no man, whether infidel or believer--whether Protto tint or Catholic—who has read the history of Ireland, will doubt that the murder of a Protestant parson, and the wanton atrocity of beating out Ids brains with stones afterwards, has occurred not once, but often. Nor will , any person, much less any number of persons, deny that the respectable part of the Catholic community hold such enormities in as utter abhorrence as the- PrOtess .. ~. ;.
