an wcr to tars sceorill question, he proposed to recover from the brad landir .d, and if they did not succeed they would descend' . till they •.,it to the oecuNing tenant. Ler?. 'B . l' ANL E Y observed that the head landlord would bay e 4 the means of recovering the amount of tithes on all per- Imes aetween himself anti the occupyiag tenant, and any of &hi! ,e could recover on the body of the tenant. ..ord MORPETH said he would proceed to answer the oti questions with respect to the case which his Noble Friend had pot re g arding the unions of parishes where there was a great rumlier of Protestants in one parish, and other parishes wi ere there was a small number of Protestants and a large ntnrber of Catholics together formed into a union ; what his Noble Friend anticipated would not take place. His Noble Friend was mistaken also as to the amount that would be de ri' the suppression of benefices. In addition to the amount stated by his Noble Friend a sum would also arise from the sale of glebe houses and glebe lands. The net an nual value thetefore given to the Commissioners for •natioaal education would be much larger than his Noble Friend con te.aplated. Ilis Noble Friend should recollect that it was in teaded to make up the incomes of clergymen to the net an nual amount of 300/. a-year. The sum derived from these sources would be sufficient, in many cases, where there was now no church or chapel, to supply adequate means for the performance of Divine worship. Sir ROBERT PE EL would not detain the House at anq length, because at that period of the night, and until he I.a s..eri the Bill in all its details, there was not much difference between occupying their time at great length, and saying hut a very few words. It appeared that the Bill proposed to be introduced on this important subject was a perfect anomaly when compared with that proposed to be introduced by his Right Hon. Friend ( Sir H. Hardingc.) It agreed, however, avith it in some points ; and first cf all, with regard to the re mission of a million of money formerly advanced to the Irish clergy, he fully agreed with the Noble Lord on the difficulties of levying that amount upon tithes. It was, however, to Le remitted for the benefit of the Church of Ireland or it! clergy ; but it was for the bene fi t of those from whom the debt was due to its clergy,—viz. the landlords of Irela•ad. It would he a mockery to call on the clergy to reply this ma ney, without giving them the right of recovering it from the occupying tenants of Ireland. He did rot disagree, also, with the - Noble Lord very materially as to the amount of the bonus to be given to the landlords. As for deducting 25 or 30 per cent., there would be not much difference of opinion as to the sum, when the p . rincirle of the thing was agreed to. The Noble Lord's Bill differed from that ofhis Rightllonour . • able Friend, however, tn some most important matters. In the first place, he n!,.aposed to take away the papment of an annual sum in lieu of tithes. It was-so.far - less glvantageous to the Irish Church than that of his Right Hon. Friend. The principle of this part of the Noble Lord's measure would go to open all the commutations entered into. He must, in the first place, hear the details as well as the principles of the Bill, before he proceeded to argue this part of the measure. In the agreements entered into he might conceive one or two cases injurious in their nature, against which objections could be urged, but they ought to have many proofs of injustice, and show that great advantages would be gained by both par ties, before they opened agreements entered into by two par ties, and sanctioned by the Legislature. With respect to the details of the Bill, he would say that, even if he agreed on its principle—if there was no great difference of opinion between the Noble Lord and himself as to the question of appropria tion—he believed that the invention or ingenuity of man never could have devised a more objectionable mode of attain. ing or executing the object, than that proposed in this mea sure.—(Cheers, and Hear, hear.) The proposal not to allow a clergyman to a parish where the number of Protestants did not amount to fifty, appeared to him to be so objectionable, that even no difference between the Noble Lord and himself as to the principle of appropriation could ever induce him not strongly to oppose such a principle. It appeared, also most cruelly unjust, to propose to allot to any clergyman the paltry stipend of 65/. a-year.—( Hear, hear.) It was an amount of salary utterly inadequate for the payment of any person of education, such as a clergyman, ought to, and must receive, for the performance of his sacred duties.—( Hear.) The Noble Lord must be fully aware of the education a clergy man must necessarily receive • and he (Sir R. Peel) hoped that he had misunderstood him on this point. The Noble Lord had said 65/. a-year, but he had never understood him to say 701. He admitted that the number of Protestants in some parishes was extremely small ; but was that sufficient to justify them in giving such a pittance to what the Noble Lord was pleased to call a separate curate? Such a stipend to a clergyman as 70/. a-year was equally injurious to the in dividual clergyman as to the welfare of the church of which be was a member. The Noble Lord said that lie could quote cases in this country where the curate only received 70/. a-year, but this was no answer to his objection ; for whenever be, as well as others, had admitted the propriety of ma king a • new distribution of the revenues of the Church, it had always been urged, as the first and most important point, -to give a better income to the subordinate clergy.—( Hear, hear.) This bad been repeatedly urged on both sides of the House. It bad repeatedly been said in that House, that the great advantage of a new distribution of the revenues of the Church would be, that it would .allot to every clergyman, who had a separate cure, a sufficiency for the decent mainte nance of himself and fainily.—( Hear, hear.) Indeed he had repeatedly heard the lion. Member for Middlesex urge with great force, that wherever it was necessary to maintain a se parate clergyman, they should take care that he ought to have a fair and moderate income, and that he was fairly en titled to at least 300/. a year—( Hear, hear)- - --this was not merely for the advantage of the individual, but also for that of the flock over which he presided. If, then, a clergyman was settled in any parish in Ireland, it was for the interest of the Church—it was for the interest of religion, and was for the interest of the Roman Catholics—that he should be guaranteed a moderate and decent income ; and that 3001. a year would not be too much. It appeared to him to be most extravagant and absurd to invite a person to go to the expense of getting the education of a clergyman, to in duce him to settle in a parish where he would have an in come utterly unworthy of him, and not exceeding that which gentlemen gave to some of their servants. He trusted that it would be the generally expressed feeling of the House that any such sum for the income of a clergyman was utterly in sufficient.—(Cheers.) Another point was the great prin ciple of appropriating a portion of the revenues of the Church to other than strictly ecclesiastical purposes. It was hardly necessary for him to say that it was his intention to offer any such principle his most strenuous opposition.— ( Hear, hear.) He did not know that their opinions would differ more - strongly on the point, if the Noble Lord at once stated that there would be no surplus,. after they had allowed not more than a decent maintenance for the Protestant clergy—after they had provided for this by adopting a new, distribution of the revenues of the Church—by having a new fair, and equal graduation of salaries, he was satisfied that it would not be difficult to show that there would no surplus. If the Noble Lord admitted the principle to be,. that even where there was a single Protestant—or where there was none, but where there might be, still it was their business to provide for the performance of religious duties, and if he admitted that where there was a church established, the clergyman ought to be able to maintain himself in competence—admitting all this, it was not difficult to show that they were fighting about a shadow, and that in point of fact there was no surplus to deal with.--(Cheers.) If that were the case, they would gain nothing by this principle beyond causing discord among st them.---( Hear, hear.) Could the Noble Lord believe that lie would realise his extravagant expectations of 50,000/. ? Did the Noble Lord believe that there would be a surplus to that amount after all existing interests were provided for—after paying the debts of the perpetuity fund—after deducting thirty per cent. from the present revenues of .he Church—after every allowance that was to be made for the great deduction • which would be the consequence of converting his tithes into a rent charge, after he had opened his composition, after the erection of the new churches and the new glebe houses they would require, and after the allotment of the curates in those new parishes ? The Noble Lord might depend upon it that he need not provide in detail for the disposal of that surplus, for his calculations were erroneous, as he would find that he had not 50,0001. to distribute.—( Cheers.) He would say then, let them make a new distribution of the church revenues, let them do away with curacies of 651., and let them allow a sum amounting to about 250/., to enable a mar, in decency to maintain himself and his family, and the Noble Lord would find that he had no surplus. Let them maintain the principle and do away with all pluralities and with non-residence, and with all sinecures in the sense in which this word was used, hut let them in every parish provide a clergyman to afford re ligious instruction and consolation, giving to him a decent maintenance, and there would be no surplus to appropriate and no quarrel to maintain--( Cheering.) Lord .1. RUSSELL said, the Right Hon. Baronet had observed that he would not enter on the present occasion into any of the details of the measure, yet in a small compass hp • had alluded to many details. In order to save time, he would not say a word with respect to that part of the measure w).) ,c - h related to tithes. On an after occasion he should be ''ole to compare this measure with that of last year, awf. with the measure of the Right Hon. Baronet. But he few remarks in reply to some other portio ns • ofv.ould make a the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet ; and, first, he ' would refer to what the Right Hon. Baronet had stated wi':n respect to the stipend of Si., which he treated with so 'much contempt. He had now in his hand a Report sign , ".l by two of the A rc hbi s h o p s of the Church of Ireland a': , d the three Commissioners, two of whom, Mr. Sadler awl.. another, were appointed by the - Government, and the other by the Primate and Arch bishop of Dublin. The Right Honourable Baronet could not suppose the.'c these individuals were not attached to the interests of 'die Church. (The Noble Lord, here quoted from the deport, which was to the effect that in certain parishes where there was but a very small number of Protestants, they did not consider themselves warranted in re commending the appointment of 'a separate clergyman; but in order that the Protestants in question might not be neg lected, they approved of the diocesan appointing the clergy ]nen of the neighbouring parishes with a stipend of 5/. and upwards as a consideration, for their extending the sphere of their labours for the cure of souls in the said parishes.) This provision, then, which the - Right Hon. Baronet thought ought to have been omitted from the Bill as a provision which it was unworthy a clergyman to accept, the Commissioners had spo ken of in their Report with approbation.—(Cheecs.) But the Right Hon. Baronet was equally indignant about the sum of 75/. a year, which lie sa'd was to be given to cu rates under this Bill ; , and he stated, and with great truth, that it had been often felt to be an injustice, and had been often complained of, that such miserable. sums should be allotted to persons who were performing the duties of the Established Church. But the complaint had really been this—which the Right Hon. Baronet did not mention, and which was the whole pith and substance of the complaint— that where there were many duties to perform, aes4 where there was a large income to be received; that it was received by one man, while the heavy duties were' left to another with F y:yT a very small stipend.—(Cheers.) Now, he would give ait instance which would show, perhaps, the operation of the pro posed Act, and that it would not be so very - injurious to those who bad to perform the duties. The Instance he referred to he received notice of from an lion. Friend of his, who sent it'm a copy of a letter received from a clergyman of the Established Church, who was performing duties in Ireland. His statement was that there were four parishes, and a neigh bouring curate and he performed the duties. The parishes contained about 200 Protestants each, and the sum received from the benefices when the tithes were regularly paid was 2,0001. a-year. The neighbouring curate and he performed the duties for several years for the sum of 751. a year each. Now if these parishes came under the operation of this Bill, the probable effect would be this, that the two curates, instead of receiving only 751. each, would receive 150/. each ; but there would be a considerable surplus of income even after all the reductions were taken into account that would be made with respect to tithes : instead, however, of that surplus going to the support of some clergyman who did not visit or su perintend the parish, it would go to the benefit of the popu lation of the parish, and enable them to be instructed. This sum was drawn from them and ought to be given to their ad vantage. The Right Hon. Baronet said that he would always protest agaii,st the principle of this measure: and his Noble Friend the Member for North Lancashire likewise protested against it. He saw here three parishes united ; in two there were a great number of Protestants, and an income which was insufficient ; and in the third, a neighbouring pa- rish, there were a vast number of Catholics we drew the in- come from the Catholic parish, and educated and instructed with it the Protestant. Why, this was the very system which the Noble Lord wished to support.—( Hear)—but against which he must protest.—( Cheers.) He could not think it right, and he never should think it right, that the great mass of the ptv i Julation in the South of Ireland should be made to contribute, in the shape of tithes, or any other shape, for an vantage to others, and to support a Church Establishment to which they were conscientiously opposed. Neither was it sufficient to tell him the Church wanted suppart in some other quarter. This was not the original purpose of the tithes ;it was intended that these tithes should go to the benefit of the country and the district from which they were drawn.— (Cheers. ) That was a bad system under which they drew tithes from three parishes for the clergyman whobelonged to one of those parishes. But still worse was it if they drew the whole of the tithes from the south, say, of Ireland, where, on account of the small number of Protestants, there were insigni ficant duties for the clergymen to perform, and transfer them to the more Protestant districts, thus benefiting them at the ex pense of their poorer countrymen. The Right Hon: Baronet said, after all they would have no surplus, but did he think that in their taking the income from those parts in which there were not more than 800 inhabitants, they would not gain a sur plus, which, whether great or small, would show that they were not prepared to say that the moral and religious instruction of the people were objects which they had not at heart, which indeed, they would neglect—that they objected to touch the Church revenues, and to seeing them well applied? Would it not rather appear, that while they gave the means required for the moral and spiritual instruction of the Protestants, those six millions of Catholics—as they were enumerated by the Commissioners—would not be deemed unworthy the care of their Sovereign ?—(Cheering.) These were, in his opi nion, the grounds on which this Bill stood. It was a Bill most difficult of details ; and he believed it was impossible to form any Bill on this subject against which the most plausible— he would even say, also, the most reasonable objections— might not be urged ; but treating, as it did, with a most diffi cult question, and it being the first Bill ever proposed to Par liament on this great subject—it being the first Bill which did show regard for the whole population of Ireland, it ought to meet with support on that ground; and in its recommendation and defence, he was ready to encounter any obloquy that might attach to him.—(Much cheering.) Mr. GOULBURN asked the Noble Lord whether the Bill applied to parishes where there was a union of three or four, but in each of which there were only fifty Protestants? Lord MORPETH replied that parishes of that description would ccme within the provisions of the Bill. Mr. GO ULBURN then made some observations, in which he declared himself decidedly hostile to the principle of the measure.—Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. Colonel PERCEVAL hoped the Noble Lord would allow sufficient time for the consideration of the Bill, and asked when he proposed to move the second reading. Lord MORPETH said he could not at present name the day ; that it depended, in some measure, on the progress made with the Municipal Corporations Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he thought it exceedingly desirable to get the Municipal Corporations Bill through the committee, and he was unwilling to obstruct its progress with any other measure. Colonel PERCEVAL supposed, then, that the second reading of the Noble Lord's Bill would be moved imme diately after the Municipal Corporations Bill cm° out of the committee. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we believe, replied, in the affir. mative. Mr. S HEIL suggested that the House should sit on Satur. days.—(General cries of " No, no.") The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at two o'clock. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

LITERATURE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. GERMANY. By Professor 0. L. B. WOLFF, LL.D. I N the ATHENIEUM MONTHLY PART for JUNE, which does not embody the - . principle contained in the foregoing resOltit iOn:7 The Noble Lord then detailed the Ministerial measure in a speech which does him infinite credit, and proves that he possesses in an eminent degree the talents and qualifica _tions requisite for the proper discharge of his important duties. Lord . MORFETII, in treating a subject abounding with causes of irritation—in which, to say the truth, he could hardly move a step without trampling on some preju dice or scruple—avoided with consummate skill everything calculated to irritate or to wound. With a mildness and self possession, and we may add a clearness, which form a striking , contrast to the intemperate splutterings and confused ar rangements of his gallant predecessors in dice, be unfolded, explained, and defended the various details of his plan. For these details we refer our readers to the Report of the Noble Lord's speech, as we must here confine our selves to an outline. The first part of the Bill relates to the maintenance of the Clergy ; the second to the future regulation of the Establishment and the appropriation of the surplus funds. The tithes, as formerly proposed, both by the Whig and Tory Administrations, are to be converted into a rent charge on the land, payable by the head landlord in the first instance, and, failing him, by all who hold under him. This rent charge is to be collected by the Commissioners of Land Revenue, and the amount is to be fixed at 701. for every 100/. of competition now payable. Two and a-half per cent. is to be deducted from this 701., for the expence of collecting, the Commissioners being respon- Bible to the clergy and to the lay impropriators for the remain ing 681. 55., and the clergyman receiving from the perpetuity fund an additional 5/., so as-to make his income amount altogether to 731. ss. for every 100/. of Composition. A revision and re-valuation of this Composition, when deemed necessary, are to be made. The arrears due for the years 1831, 1832, and 1833 are not to be provided for, as the tithe-owners had the option of being paid out of the million granted by Parliament for that purpose, and have not availed themselves of it. The remainder of that million, about 360,0001., is to be applied to pay off the ar rears of 1834, and the million itself is to go as many others have gone before it. There is to be no repayment. The appropriation part of the measure is disposed of in the following manner :—There are 860 parishes, in which the number of Protestants does not amount to fifty. When any of these parishes, or rather, when any of the benefices created by a union of two or more of them falls vacant, the LORD LIEUTENANT in Council is to have the power to suspend the presentation to such benefice. In order, hon ever, that every Protestant in Ireland may have the means of religious instruction and consolation, should he happen to require it in travelling through the country, it is provided that in benefices where there are no Protestants, the clerical duties when required shall be performed by the incumbent of the next parish, to whom .5/. per annum is to be allowed for his extra services. In parishes with fewer than fifty Protestants, the cure of souls devolves upon the Minister of the next parish, who is to be allowed a small remuneration, varying from 101. to 50/., for the additional trouble ; or the Ecclesiastical Com missioners may, if they see fit, appoint a separtde Curate, in which latter case the stipend is not to exceed 7.5/. per annum. The fund accruing out of the savings occasioned by these reforms is to be called the " Reserved fund," and is to be devoted to the purposes of general education. It may pro bably amount to from 60,0001. to 100,0001. per annum. The Ipswich case came again before the House of Commons last night, when Messrs. DASENT and PILGRIM, two of the chief agents in that black affair, were, after a courteous admonition from the Speaker, discharged out of custody. And here, we suppose, the matter will be allowed to rest ; fur Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed himself most unwilling to enter at present on the question of a prose cution for bribery, and the Session is too far advanced to allow of the time of the House being occupied with such trifles ! Still, notwithstanding its results, the discussion will be attended with this good effect, namely, that it will show fastidious folks how mistaken they have been in supposing for an instant that bribery and cor ruption have anything flagrantly immoral in their character. They are errors so purely venial that they may be perpetrated by the most respectable men. Thus Mr. DASENT, according to the testimony of many Hon. Members; is a young gentleman of the most promis ing virtues and connexions ; and Mr. PILGRIM, an old, faithful, and exemplary clerk of one of the first houses in Norwich. As to Messrs. SEWELL and BLAKE, whine names somehow or other (we profess not to say how) are strangely mixed up with the Ipswich business, Lord STOR.• MONT actually staggers under the load of his admiration of them. According to him, such a spotless couple never irradiated Norwich with the surpassing splendour of their virtues. Snow itself shows black beside the whiteness of their public purity. In fact, not one of the parties, whether immediately or remotely concerned in the Ipswich affair, turns out to be otherwise than most " respectable." How then can the Attorney-General find it in his heart to pro secute such men? He must be a monster even to harbour such an intention. Alas, for the poor Dorchester labou rers ! Had they too been respectable, they might have been let off as easily as Messrs. PILGRIM and DASENT. Respectability is a potent charm that rarely fails to smooth the frown of justice. We verily believe that a hundred Hon. Members would rise and vouch for the perfect in tegrity of even Satan himself, could it once be proved to their satisfaction that he was respectably connected. We trust, after last night's discussion, we shall hear no more cant about the horrid sin of bribery. It is clearly a very venial error. Mr. DASENT has lost no caste by it ; Mr. PILGRIM is still as exemplary a clerk as ever ; and even Mr. SPARROW will most probably hop off, in a day or two, just as briskly as if he had said or done nothing at Ipswich calculated to throw a gloom over his thoughts. As for PILGRIM'S plea, that he was induced to act as he did, " at the instigation of his then employers," it is the most absurd we ever heard of. What, had not the man the privilege of distinguishing between right and wrong ? Was he a mere Helot, to act only as his masters dictated ? Had they told him to set fire to the Norwich hustings, when Lord SToßmorrr was haranguing f'rom them, he must—if his plea be worth anything—have done it ! We have no patience with such a cringing, sycophantic attempt at jus tification. Then, again, look to the man's excuse for hav ing forgotten to state to the Committee that he had received twenty pounds " towards the expenses of his absence," from Messrs. SEWELL and BLAKE. It had " escaped his me mory," forsooth, in consequence of his " agitation," and the lacerated state of his sensibilities, caused "by the public gaze and observation in and about the Committee-room !" Bless the delicate creature ! What a lamb it is ! We can imagine how the poor thing's face must have blushed— how it's nerves must have shook—bow it's limbs must have quivered—at the rude gaze of such an unsentimental as sembly as a House of Commons' Committee ! Is it not astonishing that Mr. FITZROY KELLY should have selected such a hyper-sensitive agent? Why, if he had taken the first girl he met at an Ipswich boarding•school, he could not have made a more injudicious choice. But the truth is, Pm- Gl um's nervousness has no existence, save in his own peti tion. The man who could bustle and bluster through a contested election, is not the man to be agitated by the ,‘ public gaze" of a Committee ; and this the " old and faithful clerk" of Messrs. SEWELL and BLAKE knows full as well as we can tell him. The result of the Ipswich Inquiry has convinced us that we must have the Ballot, and this, before another year has passed. It is the necessary, the inevitable sequel of the Reform Bill, as was well remarked in a petition presented last night by Mr. GROTE from the inhabitants of Great Yarmouth—the only safeguard for purity of election ; the only efficient method for putting an end to the Pilgrim practice of bribery. Say what he please, Lord J. RUSSELL cannot much longer withhold from us this protection ; un less indeed he is prepared to prove that the frequency of corruption is a proof of the increasing morality of the electors, and as such fraught with all soi ts of political blessings to the community. The Paris Papers of Thursday have been all received. They bring important intelligence from the North of. Spain. The following telegraphic despatch, which is given in a second edition of the Journal de Paris, is dated from Bayonne, the 20th inst. : ,‘Bilboa continued to hold out on the 21st., at night. Generals Latre and Espartero had arrived at Portagalette at five o'clock in the evening. and were to introduce supplies into the place at day break. It is asserted that Iriarte, with 5,000 men, and Valdez, w ith 18 battalions, were marching on Durango." It is probable that, ere this, the Carlists have retreated from before Bilboa. The appearance of such a force as that commanded by ESPARTERO would compel the insurgents to act on the defensive. Another account of the same date as above, states, that two Spanish vessels had likewise arrived ot Bilboa, laden with arms and provisions, and that their cargoes were safely conveyed within the walls. It is reported in the diplomatic circles in Paris that MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, who is now on his way to Lon don and Paris, is to fill the office of Spanish Ambassador at this Court. • We have received from the Newcastle Courant office a very long Report of a public meeting of Burgesses, held in that town, on Wednesday last, on the subject of the Mu nicipal Corporation Reform Bill now before Parliament. Unfortunately, from the crowded state of our columns, we are unable to do justice to the many able _speeches made at the meeting. The meeting was called by the MAYOR, at the request of 240 ,Burgesses. Mr. JOHN HoncsoN proposed the first resolution : " That it appears to this meeting,that some of the clauses in the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, now before Parliament, will operate unnecessarily in violation of thC rights and property of bur gesses, and will effect the entire extinctio n of that body. '—( Ap plause.) Before he sat down, he hail but one or two more words to say. He was aware that there were some individuals among them who thought the resolution he had proposed went to a greater extent than they were likely to succeed in inducing the Houses of Parliament to agree to ; To which Mr. JOHN Fine, in a very able speech, moved the following amendment : " That this meeting feel grateful to his Majesty's Government for the sweeping and efficient measure of Municipal Corporation Reform now proposed, and admit the absolute necessity of such reform ; but that this meeting petition, that the whole of the privileges and rights of the burgesses be preserved inviolable, as far as is consistent with good Municipal Government." This amendment he submitted to the consideration of the meeting ; and he cared not whether they adopted the whole or only a part of it. If they wished to have only a part, they might confine themselves to a simple expression of gratitude, and an admis sion of the necessity of a large measure of reform. After that, it would be competent for them, and it would moreover be con sistent with their characters as Reformers, and as men anxious to extend the liberties of their countrymen, to object to any part of the Bill, for he agreed with them in thinking there were portions of it which required amendment. He called upon them, consistently with their, address to the throne in 1852 ; with their petitions to Parliament in 1833 ; and with their character as inde pendent men and Reformers, to adopt as a preamble to any altera tions they might suggest in the details of the Bill, a resolution ex pressive of their approval of the general principles of the Bill, and of their conviction of the necessity of a sweeping measure of Mu nicipal Reform.—(Applause.) If they would be induced by the arguments which he had used, instead of those brought before them by the friends of a self-elected body ; if they believed in his sin cerity rather than in theirs ; if they were consistent with them selves; if they would do their utmost to preserve their privileges and rights, they would adopt the amendment which he had proposed to the resolution.—(Loud applause.) The amendment finally took the following form :—" That this meeting feel grateful to the Government for the extensive measure of Municipal Corporation Reform now in a Committee of the House of Commons ; and that this meeting acknowledge the necessity of such a measure." The amendment was put and carried, amidst loud cheer ing. This does great honour to the Reformers of New castle.

We have great pleasure in announcing that Earl Dun- HAM is appointed Ambassador to St. Petersburgh. No bettter appointment, could be made, and we understand it has met with the cordial approbation of the Emperor NICHOLAS ! The Irish Church Question, in spite of all the Tories could do to prevent it, came on last night, in the House. of Commons. Lord MORPETH introduced the subject by moving that the Resolutions passed by the House on the 7th of April should be read. These Resolutions, which aro worthy of being held in everlasting remembrance, run thus : " That any surplus revenue of the present Church Establishment in Ireland, not required for the spiritual care of its members, be ap plied to the moral and religious education of all classes of the people, without distinction of religious persuasion, providing for the re sumption of such surplus, or of any such part of it as may be re quired by an increase in the number of the members of the Esta blished Church.

A New Orleans Price Current of the 17th May, received at the North and South American Coffee-house, states that steady busi ness was doing there, and articles in whatever line continue to be in request ; indeed such has been the demand for most articles this season, that the supplies have been inadequate to meet the wants of the Market.

The only news they contain, is the bursting of a steam vessel, by which accident 40 persons are missing. A Jamaica Mail has arrived by the Nightingale, bringing papers to the 16th May. (From the Jamaica Dispatch.) KINGSTON, MAY 15.—The arrival of his Excellency the Go vernor, from the Caymanas, has excited a serious sensation in this city. His Excellency left this in his Majesty's ship Forte, Commo dore Pell, to coerce the unfortunate inhabitants of that colony ; but with 'as much justice as he could coerce the poor unhappy peasantry of that portion of the people of the country which, unhappily, bears his Lordship's name in Ireland. The black people of Caymanas have long been virtually free—they have been so considered by their masters; and if ever a peasantry were happy under the sway of their employers, those of the Caymanas were so ; but as we have repeatedly stated, that as the Aldermanbury demon of discord found out that black men were happy, under the controul of their white masters, they resolved that the system should not last ! Sligo was therefore sent to confirm the old orders of the gang—to make the Caymanas blacks free at once without the aid of an Act of Parliament. UNPARALELLED ROBBERY. The following Proclamation of his Excellency the Marquis of Sligo, declaring the slaves of the Caydmanas FREE, is a fine sample of Whig atrocity and villainy. The inhabitants of the Caymanas, we are told, submitted to the act of spoliation with " decorum and dignity !" That they submitted is most true; but their submission was in consequence of the force sent to require it ; and on the principle which induces a gentleman to surrender his purse to the highwayman ! A PROCLAMATION. JAMAICA. SS. By his Excellency, &c. Whereas the situation of the inhabitants of the Grand Caymanas having engaged the particular attention of his Majesty's Government, more especially as to the effect which the recent changes under the laws of the Imperial Parliament have upon the structure of society in those . belonging to Great Britain, where slavery formerly existed ; and the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown having been obtained, I have received his Majesty's commands forthwith to communicate the decision at which they have arrived upon the question. The Slavery Abolition Act having declared, that all persons of the age of Six, or upwards, who, on or before the first of August, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, have been duly regis tered as Slaves, should become and be Apprenticed Labourers, and such registration not having been adopted as respects the Island of the Caymanas previous to the passing thereof, such unregistered slaves have, in consequence, become entitled to the unqualified en joyment of their personal freedom. And whereas it is incumbent on his Majesty's Government to see the letter of the Slavery Abo lition Act carried into full effect, I do hereby, under the directions of His Majesty's Government, declare and make known, that all such unregistered Slaves at the Island of the Caymanas, have been absolutely manumitted, and can no longer be lawfully treated as apprenticed labourers. Fully alive, however, to the inconvenience which the course I am commanded to pursue s must entail upon the private interests of the community of this island, and the apparent injustice inflicted on the proprietors of the negroes by the construction of the law, owing to the injury which they will sustain in being deprived of the service of their apprentices, still his Majesty's Government have no power to interpose ; and it will be for Parliament itself to provide a remedy, and to decide how far those affected by the omis sion may be entitled to a compensation for the loss unintentionally inflicted upon them. On this subject a most earnest representation will be made to the King, and I have the satisfaction in the mean time to make known that the Commissioners for Compensation in England consider the Caymanas as an appendage to Jamaica, and entiled to share in the Compensation Fund, according to the inter ests of the respective owners in those islands.

The prospect of the coffee crop in that part is said to be cheering. (From the Guiana Chronicle.) BAABADOES.-The House of Assembly met on Wednesday the Sth inst., pursuant to a special call from his Excellency the Go vernor: Numerous communications were read with open doors, comprising messages from the Governor to the Council and House of Assembly; together with the Address of the House ; also dis patches from Lord Aberdeen, and the answer to them by the House. A dispute has risen between the Executive and the Legislature of that Island, which threatens to be of a serious nature. TILE FUNDS.

India Bonds, 57 ; Exchequer Bills, 25 to 27 • Bank Stock, 214. The Foreign Market, which appeared healthy in the morning of yesterday, gave way in the afternoon, and closed with lower prices.

NATURAL PLIENOMENON.-011 the Chinese frontier, near Kiakha, while the weather was very calm and extremely cold, on the 11th of March, there was observed, a few minutes of ter 9 P.m., at an extraordinary elevation in the north-west, a fiery meteor in a serpentine form of a most daz zling brightness. In an instant this meteor was converted into a brilliant cloud, resembling an immense blazing sheaf, which proceeded to precipitate itself obliquely with extreme rapidity towards the earth, assuming the form of an enor mouse sheet of flame, which filled all the visible space of the horizon with a light as clear as day, and separating Into three portions disappeared. The roar of distant thun der was then heard, and this . occasioned a tremulous motion to be felt in the houses. Two other sounds were perceived, but these were reckoned merely •the echoes of the first re verberating from the neighbouring mountains. This phe nomenon, which lasted but a few seconds, has not occasioned, as far as has yet been ascertained, the least damage. Russian Paper, LITERATURE. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

This entertaining work, which, a few days since, we no" ,ced at some length, has now justly attained great popula - We are not surprised at this, as, from the ease and spirit with which it has been translated, it assumes the cha racter of an original performance. The subject is one of the highest kind whereon the genius of man can be enl" ployed, inasmuch as it is conversant not only with the s pot whence flowed the blessings of the Christian revelation, but also with those more ancient places in other parts of Ca naan and in Syria, where the awful prophets, who were the harbingers of The Redeemer, delivered their in' spired messages from high, and poured out their soletne denunciations. Our object, however, in recurring to the subject, is not so much to characterize this extraordi" nary work in general, as to call public attention to one portion of its contents, which, in the haste *of oar first notice, escaped our consideration. We allude to a " Narrative of the residence of Fatalla Sayegbir among; the wandering Arabs of the great desert." This is a nor' rative of singular importance, distinguished by abundant interest and adventure. The MS. was purchased by La' rnartine, and is now,, for the first time, given to the w orld. The writer was employed by Napoleon, in order that he might make researches as to the number and strength of the various tribes of the desert, with a view to their being ems" ployed in his gigantic project of penetrating into and con quering our Oriental dominions. Did our limits perm it ' we should be tempted to quote largely from this curious journal. Lamartine's work, taken as a whole, is riche r in information, and more abundant in amusement, than any production which has lately issued from the press. nty. SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.
