' e t a - L., e;f, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1835. REJECTION OF THE IRISH CHURCH BILL! The Peers have made short work with the Irish Chur:h Bill. The first serious demonstration of their intentions made when they_came to the con sid,,ration of the 10th clause, which provides for the re-opening of inch Tithe Compositions as may have been founded on fraud or error. As the fraud or error was in favour of the Church, and against the Tithe payer, the clause was struck A ,spaciousip was then made in the Bill b:: the wholesale removal of all the claw4 , s from 11 to 21. The 40th clause, which! re, -, ,i!lates the amount of (!oin : • - position by the average price of corn for the last seven years, shared the same fat!, But it was not till their Lord hips had got beyond the 60th clause that the axe was laid to the root of the tree. When clause 61 was read, Lord HADDING TON got up and moved, that it and the next 27 clauses, embodying the appropriation principle, should be entirely omitted. A discussion emitted, in which the Noble Lord's views were supported by the Bishop of LONDON, the Earl of WINCHILSEA, and Lord RoDEN, the Duke of WELLINGTON bringing up the rear. Against so formidable a phalanx of orators, what could a BROUGHAM, a PLUNKETT, a MEL BOURNE, or a LANSDOWNE avail ? Clearly nothing. The Tory Lords poured forth torrents of red-hot abuse against the appropriation principle, and those who maintained it. The destruction of the Church was the burden of the song. To adapt the Protestant Esta blishment to the wants of the Protestants, and to de vote the surplus to the moral improvement of the peo ple of Ireland, was, they declared, an impious robbery, a sacrilegious spoliation, which could not possibly es cape the Divine vengeance. But they could see no robbery in hundreds of Clergymen devouring the sub stance of the Church without performing any service in return Towards the close of the debate, Lord MELBOURNE told their Lordships in plain terms that if the motion succeeded, the Bill was lost—he would have nothing more to do with it. In spite, however, of this declara tion, the motion was carried by a majority of 97, the numbers being 138 to 41. The House adjourned mmediately after the division. Thus have our Lords and Masters consummated their achievements against the peace and happiness of England, by an exploit which will set Ireland in a flame. By the rejection of this Bill, the Irish Clergy are left without any means of support, except what they may receive from the cha rity of the benevolent; and the expectations which had been raised in the minds of the Irish people, are dis appointed with a recklessness of consequences which nothing short of insanity can justify. Our readers will see by the various reports of Public Meetings on the subject of the Corporatian Reform Bill, which appear in another part of The Sun, that nothing short of the absolute rejection of the Lords' Amendments by the House of Commons, will satisfy the people. ' We 'trust, therefore—though with feW or no hopes of the popular wishes being attended to— that their Lordships will see the necessity, when the Report of the Committee comes before them to-night for consideration, of so revising their amendments, that the Commons may be enabled to pass the Bill, without compromising their consistency. By their resistance to all rational reforms, their Lordships are playing a very desperate game, in which they, not the people, will be the losers. Not content with destroying the Municipal Bill, they last night gave the finishing stroke to the Irish Church Bill. Is conduct like this to be tolerated ? No ; the people must be firm—they must be unanimous ; they have the power in their own hands, and must not scruple to exert it. If they do not, they will again have a Tory oligarchy usurping the Government, and then farewell to all efficient alterations in our corrupt institutions. Now, therefore, or never, is the time for us to declare our will, to take up our post, and stand to it at all ha zards. There are many unpleasant rumours afloat re specting changes, &c., in the Administration, but if the people only remain staunch to their interests, neither Tory nor ultra-Tory will be able to take up his official quarters in Downing-street. In another column our readers will see an important document respecting the " Orange Lodges," to which is affixed the illustrious signature of " ERNEST, Grand Master." We beg to call their particular at tention to this precious document, because it is in spirit, if not in so many express words, tantamount to a confession of all the charges brought against the Grand Master of the Orange Institutions. The poor Deputy is sadly mauled in it I The Paris Papers of Sunday, the whole of which we have received, bring reports of Saturday's proceed ings in the Chamber of Deputies on the Fieschi law against the Press. The speeches delivered for the measure were not remarkable for anything besides their dullness, and the determination of the orators to support the Government of LOUIS PHILIPPE. 'We wonder has it ever occurred to these apostates that they may be very shortly called upon to prove their loyalty by accompanying their Royal Master in a voy age to Holyrood, or some such asylum for deposed Sovereigns ? The CITIZEN KING may, by his watchfulness, retard a Revolution in France, but he cannot prevent it, should he be so unfortu nate as to succeed in his present efforts to abrogate the most valuable provisions of the Constitutional Charter. The debates on the Bill will occupy the greater part of this week. The advices from the north of Spain are not im portant. Both the Carlists and the QUEEN'S troops are making preparations for an active campaign. France is intriguing with Russia. This ought not to escape the attention of the British Government. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 18th inst., received this morning, bring intelligence respecting the termination of the recent insurrectionary movement in that capital. Great praise is due to the Minis ters, General QUESADA, and the civic authorities, for the discretion with which they conducted an affair in which the slightest mismanagement would have led to scenes of savage outrage--perhaps to a temporary suspension of the powers of the Govern ment. The details of this insurrectionary movement may be summed up in a few words. They are as fol lows :—On the 15th inst., there was a bull-fight at Madrid, at which four companies of the Urban militia at tended. As soon as the fight was over the men formed themselves into columns, and protested that they would not lay down their arms before the Ministers were dis missed, and certain measures which _they prcposed for quelling the rebellion in the north, adopted by the QUEEN REGENT. This resolution being taken, they marched in a body to the Plaza Mayor, where they were joined .by other battalions of Urbanos, with shouts of" Long lire Liberty I Long live Queen ISABELLA II !" Here they remained in deliberation for nearly six hours, when a draft of a remonstrance addressed to the QUEEN REGENT was produced and approved of by the Urbanos. It contained nine distinct resolu tions or propositions, which were to be submitted im mediately to her Majesty, and no steps were to be taken against the Government before the expiration of the time necessary for receiving the QUEEN'S answer. In the meanwhile the Chiefs of the Insurgents pub lished the following document, addressed in the form of a'proclamation to the inhabitants of Madrid : " Fellow Citizens—The object which has assembled us is to overturn the Ministry, which environs the throne, and is hur rying it with its fatal counsels towards an abyss, and which en courages the efforts of the Carlist faction, and exposes our country to the most frightful anarchy. An address, in which these truths arc laid before her Majesty in a manner equally respectful as energetic, shall be in a few hours in her Royal hands. " Fellow citizens—We have sworn not to lay down our arms until our wishes shall be realized. " Inhabitants of Madrid—B. - not afraid that the tranquillity of your homes shall be disturbd ; we have sworn that the evil disposed, who, misinterpreting our geoerous sentiments, should attempt to commit the least excess, shall atone for it with the forfeit of their " Fellow Citizer:s—Long live Isabella! Leiig live Liberty Long live the Quc,n Regent l Down vvith the Minister. , 1" \i'hile these proceedings were going forward Li the Plaza Mayor the Ministers were not idle. Persons known to possess great influence among the Urbanos in consequence of the liberality of their opinions, were sent to remonstrate with the officers on their unnatu ral conduct. General QUESADA placed himself at the head or his troops, and by a feint as skilful as it was unexpected, took possessign of every avenue and street leading to the Plaza Mayor, so that the Ur hallos were hemmed in on all sides, ar►d thus prevented from forming a junction with their friends in other parts of the city. The insurgents were then sum moned to lav down their arms, and to retire peaceably to their respective houses, QUESADA pledging himself that though in the power of his troops not a hair of their heads should be molested. The General's moderation and prudence had the happiest effect upon the Urbanos, who with one consent laid down their arms, and with drew as directed. Not the slightest insult was offered to them, nor was a threat uttered on any side. Thus terminated the insurrectionary movement of the 15th instant at Madrid—a movement which might have proved fatal to the QUEEN'S Government, had it not exercised the most extraordinary forbearance. We arc not disposed td join in the sneers in which some of our contemporaries indulge at the expense of the unsuccessful Urbanos. The at tempt to excite an insurrection in the capital was highly culpable, but at the same time the insurgents conducted themselves with a propriety never surpassed by so large a body of men under similar circumstances. In fact, this principle of order in the midst of disorder, is one of the most astonishing features in the revolutionary movements in Spain. One Go 'vernment is no sooner overturned than the populace set about to replace it by another, armed with pretty nearly the same powers. In a word, the Spaniards, wherever they rise against the Government, appear to act, not under the influence of revolutionary excitement, but from a mistaken notion or conviction that there is no other way by which they can rid themselves of evils no longer endurable. The QUEEN-REGENT was expected to arrive in Madrid on the 17th inst. Up to a late hour in the evening pf that day her MAJESTY had not returned an answer to the address of the Urbanos. Finally an ex traordinary Gazette was announced, containing a decree declaring the city in a state of siege, and the inhabi tants subject to martial law. Whether or not this de cree—of which the following is a copy—was intended for an answer to the address of the LTrba,uos, we can- THE SUN, LONDON, 76U1SDAY, AUGUST 25, 1835. not tell ; but our opinion is that it was drawn up be fore the insurgents had laid dowp their arms : " ROYAL DECREE. " Considering the serious interruption which the public tranquillity of the capital has sustained, and convinced of the urgent necessity there is for its re-establishment completely, and on solid foundations, inasmuch as the general welfare of the state and the safety of the throne of my august daughter, the Queen Donna Isabel H., are concerned in it, I, in her Royal name, as Queen Regent of the realm, have decreed as follows : " Art. 1. The city of Madrid is declared in a state of siege ; consequently the superior military authorities will assume all the powers which belong to them, and all other authorities will pay due obedience to their orders. " 2. All the servants of the state, military or civil, even although they may belong to the Urban Militia, who do not appear at their respective destinations immediately after the publication of this my Royal decree, shall suffer de facto the privation of their employments. " 3. All laws and Royal decrees inconsistent with the pre sent are suspended until the reason for such suspension shall cease by the re-establishment of public order. " Signed by the Royal Hand. " San Ildefonso, August 16. " To the President of the Council of Ministers." It is probable that so many repetitions of an insurrec tionary movement in the capital, will compel the Govern ment to adopt less tardy measures for quelling the insur rection in the North. For several months past nothing, has been done towards increasing the army, or provi ding for the clothing and victualling of the troops. Such indifference must fill the public mind with dis trust of the wisdom and firmness of the QUEEN'S constitutional advisers. Letters and Papers from Lisbon to the 13th inst. have been received. The following official decree ap pears in the Diario de Governo of the 12th :--- In the case of Mr. Abernethy, the Lord Ckancellor granted the injunction, although there was no manuscript ; but ultimately that decision was reversed. He (Mr. W.) thought it was a bad case indeed, if persons were not to be allowed to publish for the benefit of the public. The lectures of men connected with St. Bartholomew's Hostpital, who were paid- by the public for the delivery of those lectures upwards of 8001. a-year. If the Hon. and Learned Member would so frame a clause as to enable lec tures to be given, and then published, he should not object to the Bill. After some observations from Mr. RUTHVEN, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there ap peared—. For the clause . Against it Majority for the clause On clause 4 being read, Mr. PRYME objected to the clause. Mr. WAKLEY concurred with the Hon. Member for Cam bridge in opposing the clause. There should be a distinction made between public and private lectures. The clause was then put and agreed to. The other clauses with the preamble were then agreed to, and the House resumed. -19 Mr. WILKS gave notice that on the third reading of the Bill, he would move the insertion of a clause for the purpose of including sermons in the protection afforded by the Bill. OATHS ABOLITION BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER this Bill was read a first time. COMPENSATION TO MR. BUCKINGHAM. On the motion of Mr. TULK the Order of the Day for the second reading of Mr. Buckingham's Compensation Bill was read. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE moved that Counsel be called in and heard against the Bill. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE and Mr. WIGRAM appeared at the Bar as Counsel on behalf of the East India Company against the Bill. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE addressed the House at considerable length, arguing that Mr. Buckingham was bound to obey the laws of the Indian Government for regulating Newspapers, and that not having done so, he had rendered himself justly liable to all the con sequences that followed.

THIS DAY, TUESDAY, Auo. 25. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chaii at a few minutes past twelve. On the motion of Mr. P. HOWARD, the Port Dundas and Dal green Bridge and Road Bill was read a third time and passed. CARRIAGES (METROPOLIS) BILL. Mr. WILKS moved the Order of the Day for the House re solving itself into a Committee of the whole House upon this Bill. Mr. BLAMIRE and Mr. POTTER objected to the Bill being pro ceeded with in the absence of the Hon. Member by whom it had been brought in. The SPEAKER made an observation relative to the forms of the House, in case of one Hon. Member undertaking the conduct of a Bill brought in by another. Mr. WILKS had taken up the Bill at. the particular request of the worthy Alderman (Wood), whose health rendered it necessary that he should be absent for a short time. He suggested that the Bill should be allowed to go through the Committee, and on the bringing up of the Report on Monday next, the worthy Alderman would be in his place, and Hon. Members might then take the sense of the House upon the Bill. Dr. BOWRING objected to the Bill, as its details were of a most vexatious nature, and it gave too much power to the Corpo ration of London. Mr. EWART also objected to the details of the Bill, and he thought it would be impossible to carry it through at this late period of the Session. Mr. PEASE regretted the impatience manifested by the House relative to this Bill. The argument of the Hon. Member for Kil marnock, that it would establish an im,perium in imperio, would not he hoped weigh with the HOUS3. Sir S. IV HALLEY said the Bill was one deeply affecting the comforts and even the lives of thousands. He believed there was no reasonable ground of objection to the Bill, and he should therefore give it bis decided support, as his constituents were most anxious to have it passed into law. _ _ Mr. ROBINSON would not oppose the Bill on the ground of the absence of the lion. Alderman, but was there the slightest chance of its passing this session ? The real question was, was the House in a fit state for proceeding with the Bill ? He was as great a friend to the middle classes as others ; but do not now waste time, but bring it in early in another session. Mr. WAKLEY said he understood the worthy Alderman would be in his place on Monday next ; he would therefore move as an amendment that the further consideration of the Report be de ferred till that day. He objected to the Bill as partial, as it ex cepted gentlemen's carriages, and he would divide upon that when 40 Members not being present the House and the Bill would be lost. Mr. WILKS said in all his experience he had never seen the House act so unjustly. After the Bill had gone through more than half its clauses, and after all its principles had been agreed to, they now, upon very weak grounds, turned round and virtually threw it out. He felt it a public duty to the people of the metropolis to press for ward the Bill. Mr. BERNAL begged to ask the Honourable Gentleman most kindly whether, after the foregoing conversation, he thought he had the slightest chance of passing the multifarious clauses of the Bill. On another ground, in the present state of business in another House, was it at all possible to expect it to pass? Mr. WILKS would not press the Bill under these circumstan ces, and would postpone it till this day week. STEAM VESSELS PILOTAGE BILL. The Report of the Committee was brought up. REGISTRATION OF VOTES (IRELAND) BILL, CUS TOMS DUTIES BILL, and the DUBLIN POLICE BILL. The Reports of these Bills were also brought up by Mr. I3ERNA.L. The Marriage Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Slave Trade (Denmark Bill) and the Slave Trade Sar dinia Biil went. through Committee without further observation, than Mr. PEASE complaining of the proposed distribution of the prize money. The instrument of Sassine Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. PUBLICATION OF LECTURES BILL-LIBERTY OF THE PRESS. The LORD ADVOCATE moved the Order of the Day that the IieRSC go into Committee on the Publication of Lectures Biil. \VAKLEY made a few observations which were inaudible in the Gallery. Mr. WILKS hoped the House would allow the Bill to go into Committee, as it was necessary to afford some protection to public lecturers and preachers. In many cases a minister might deliver a series of lectures, fur which he could very easily obtain one thou sand guineas, yet he might be deprived of it by short-hand writers, being engaged i,y some publisher to report them. Mr. HOWARD thought this Bill an infringement on the liberty of the Press.--(Hear.) He could not conceive how a lecturer who was paid for delivering lectures according to his own demand, could have a property in them after fulfilling his contract, by which contract he had virtually disposed of his copyright. Mr. PEASE could not conceive how a religious preacher could object to the promulgation of his discourses if he really meant them to be useful. Why should that which was good to some not be published and circulated for the benefit of those who did not have the opportunity of hearing it ? The LORD ADVOCATE said there was a distinction to be made between private and public lectures and sermons. The House then resolved itself into]a Committee, the SOLICITOR GENERAL in the Chair. Mr. WAKLEY, on the reading of the 2d clause, which proposes that no newspaper shall be allowed to report any lecture, or part of a series of lectures, expressed his hope that this clause would not be pressed. It seemed extraordinary that a newspaper should not have the privilege of publishing a single lecture. The intention of the Bill was no doubt to prevent piratical publications of a whole series, but not to be so rigid i n it s res t r i ct i ons as thi s . H e t h oug h t the Bill would check the progress of knowledge 'and information, and do a serious injury to the public. Mr. PRYME admitted the force of the Hon. Member's argu ment, but he thought that some protection should be given to pub lic lectures. Mr. POTTER wished to know how the Bill would apply to leturers paid and engaged to deliver lectures. 1 1 The LORD ADVOCATE said he intended to introduce a clause to exclude all endowed lecturers in public schools and univer sities lecturing in their official capacity. As to the argument in favour of newspapers, whether the lecture was moral or immoral, in one case the lecturer might suffer, but in the other the public assuredly would. Mr. WAKLEY had some experience on this subject, and he could assure the House that lecturers would not be satisfied with mere criticisms or extracts. He had known them complain that they had been misrepresented because parts of their speech had been omitted. He would allow that protection which the Learned Ad vocate desired, for systematic works delivered in lectures; but was no information to go forth to the public as to the nature and pi•o gress of such lectures ? There were some lecturers, indeed, who feared publication, because they had not kept pace with the spirit of the times and the progress of science, and of these he knew some in this city. Though he would protect the private lecturer, he thought the restrictions too rigid. Mr. PEASE was of opinion that all public lectures were public property. Mr. WAKLEY could not allow the clause to pass without a di vision. . -- The Gallery was then cleared for a division, but we understood that no division took place, and on our return we found • Lord J. RUSSELL addressing the Committee. He thought that the clause should be framed as nearly as possible so as to pro tect lecturers. At the same time, he would give newspapers the power to make such extracts as would enable them to form a fair criticism upon the lecture. If the clause went beyond this object it ought to be restricted. Mr. WAKLEY concurred in what had been stated by the Noble Lord, that protection ought to be given to private lecturers, in the same way in which it was given to authors. He regretted to hear that the University of Edinburgh was so situated, that the Pro fessors complained when their lectures were published. He found that in every instance where publication bad taken place, men of talent derived immense advantages ; but where lecturers obtained their situations through nepotism—that system which was so strong in our p u bli c institutions--all such were opposed to publication, becaus e th e y w i s hed to conceal_ their Incapacity.

Halifax Papers to the 4th of August, and New Brunswick to the 29th July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Halifax Papers.) • FRZDERICK'S-TOWN JULY 29.—We have been favoured with a copy o f th e , su bj o i n ei despatch to his Excellency Sir Archibald Campbell : " Downing-street, May 25, 1835. " Sir,—The Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have had under their consideration the du ties at present levied in New Brunswick upon the importation of flour and provisions, expressed to my predecessor their opinion that the abolition of these duties was called for by a due re gard to the interest of that province. In this opinion both Lord Aberdeen and myself have concurred, and a clause will therefore be introduced into the Customs' amendment of the present Ses sion, extending to New Brunswick , the same freedom from duty with reference to these articles as is enjoyed by the Canadian pro vinces ; but, in order to obviate any inconvenience which might otherwise arise, it is not intended that this provision should take effect until the Ist July, 1836. (Signed) GLENELG. The New Brunswick papers are void of interest. The Irish Church Bill in the House of Lords last night has expe rienced the same fate as the Municpal Corporation Bill—it is gone. Now it is known what the Lords have done, but the present ques tion in the City is what the Commons will do ? This decided reso lution of the Lords has prevented the British funds from improving this morning. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off } esterday at 89i for the Account, opened this morning at 891 To-morrow being settling day in Consols, the brokers and jobbers are busy in settling their accounts. Omnium,l2i premium ; Exchequer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 5 7 ; Bank Stock, 214 215. The Foreign Market is very buoyant, owing to the favourable accounts from Madrid of the Urban militia having followed the example of Sir John Falstaff's regiment, throwing down their arms and running away. Spanish, which was yesterday morning at 354, has reached 414 to 42; Spanish Scrip, which was 244 discount, is now 184; Por tuguese, 864 87. There are arrivals this morning from Falmouth. They state the arrival there of the Espoir and Pantaloon from Lisbon ; the for mer sailed on the 9th inst. and the letter on the 16th inst. At the above period the capital was tranquil and the Ministers were popu lar. Prince Saxe Coburg was spoken of as being the future hus band of the Queen. It is asserted in the City that the King has sent for Sir Robert Peel, who will be in town this evening. HALF-PAST ONE. The Foreign information at present is not of such importance as our own domestic affairs. In the City, this morning, the general topic of conversation related to3whether Ministers would resign, or wait to be turned out—on which subject various opinions prevailed, and looked for with the greatest anxiety by the people. The British Funds have rather improved since the morning, when Consols were 89* for the Account ;at present they are 893- /, with little doing.

Spanish Bonds, which had reached 41/ to 42, have receded to 39/ 40, not owing to any further news from Spain, but to parties realizing their profits. Spanish Scrip, which was 18/ disc., is at present 20/ disc. ; Portuguese was 87, at present 86/ ; 3 per Cents, 56 55 ; Colum bian, 31/; Mexican, 35; Dutch, 2/ per Cent., 53/.

Burlington Errrol lichester Leitrim Lichfield PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the Loßns' yesterday, after some comparatively unim portant business, on the motion 'of Lord MEtIouRNE, the House resolved itself into Committee on the Irish Church Bill. The clause for a revision of improper Compositions was first rejected by a majority of 126 over 35—then the " Appro priation " clause was negatived, by 138 votes against 41. Their Lordships thus, by a majority of 97, deciding against a juster administration of the enormous revenues of the Irish Church Establishment. The debate, it will be seen, was long and ardent, not concluding until half. past two o'clock. Lord MELnouaNE's speech is worthy of perusal ; he plainly told their Lordships that if they struck out the vital clause of " Appropriation," he would take no further charge of the Bill. After the division the House immediately adjourned. In the CommoNs, amongst the many petitions which were presented, was one from Northampton, very numerously signed, praying the House to resist mutilations of the Municipal Cor porations Bill ; and that, in the event of its being mutilated, to resist the supplies, and especially to stop the pensions and emoluments of those instrumental in causing such mutilations. Scme conversation took place respecting the alleged ill-treat ment of some persons (who now petitioned the House) attend ing the meeting at Dublin on the subject of Mr. Shaw's con duct. The Customs Duties Bill passed through‘ a Committee, and several other Bills were advanced a stage. Mr. WAL LACE intimated his intention to moot the question of Bribery at the last Election for Hull next session. On the report of the Glass Duties Bill, which was ordered to be read to-morrow a third time, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER said that the reduction in these duties would com mence on the 10th of October ; no allowance would be made fir stock on hand. Glass manufactured, however, after the present time, might be bonded, and taken out after the 10th of Octob6r on payment of the reduced duties. The report on the Stamps and Assessed Taxes Bill, was brought up, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated an intended reduc tion of the duty on Policies of Insurance, where the sum in sured did not exceed 5001. A Committee to prepare Militia Estimates was agreed to. The Bill for compensating Mr. BUCKINGHAM was ordered to be read a second time to-day, when counsel for the Company will be heard. LITERATURE. THE FUDGES IN ENGLAND. Longman and Co. London, 1835. A new work from Tom Moore, especially if it be of a lively character, is always sure to command attention. He is the leading wit of his age, and will be remem cered and quoted as such, long after many of his most serious and elaborate poems are forgotten. Doubtless there are many splendid passages in his " Lalla Rookh ;" many exquisiteklyrics scattered through his " Irish Melodies" and his " Epistles," dated from America ; still the tares are so mixed up with the wheat ; glittering conceits. are so closely entwined with lofty and impassioned thoughts ; there is so much false, prurient sentiment, substituted for healthy feeling; that Mr. Moore, in his serious vein, must, we fear, be content to reach posterity as the writers of the Elizabethan age, have reached us—that is to say, in fragments. Possibly the entire " Melodies" may en dure ; but certainly not the " Loves of the Angels," nor even'," Lalla Rookh." Their titles may indeed be remembered, like Sidney's " Arcadia," or Lily's " Euphues"—but the poems themselves will be known only by certain. striking passages ; for every day'the age is .growing more simple and republican in its tastes, and turning with increasing disrelish from the highly seasoned poetic cates that so delighted the palate of its immediate predecessor. The Muse has thrown off her old attire.; she no longer wears a tiara of glittering jewels on her brow, or flaunts, like an opera dancer, in a gaudy, meretricious, spangled vest ; but has simplified both her manners and her dress, and even affects the Quaker's drab. In a word, the age of clap-trap versifi cation is gone, and with it much of Mr. Moore's popu larity. As a wit, however, his fame will list as long as the language. Here he is imperishable. Though dwelling on subjects of temporary interest, and replete with piquant, personal allusions, which a few years hence:will require illustrative notes to make them in telligible, yet hi; " Twopenny Post Bag," his " Fudge Family," and his " Fables for the Holy Alliance," will be read by posterity with the same heart-felt pleasure and admiration with which we, nearly a century after its publication, still continue to read Anstey's " Bath Guide." If, however, we were asked where Mr. Moore's wit is seen to the greatest advantage, unhesi tatingly we should reply, in those brilliant S uibs which he contributed weekly, for some years, the columns of our contemporary, the Times. Compared with these sparkling jeux desprits, all others of the day seem dull and impertinent. They stand alone in unapproachable excellence. It is not,, however, for their force or vigour that we admire them ; but for their dazzling play of wit, their elastic and bounding spirit, their archness, their graceful, colloquial ease, and their unstudied, ever-varying flow of rhythm. Mr. Moore wields .his fancy, as Mercutio wielded his rapier, with a laughing air of self-possession that proves him to be a master of his weapon. His every thrust tells, so quick are his lunges, and so keen his weapon's edge. The only writer who ever came near him in these buoyant sallies of the fancy, is the celebrated Oxford wit, Tom Brown ; but even he is far inferior; his hu mour, however rich, being for the most part of an every day character, and utterly deficient in imagina tion. Anstey might perhaps compare with hiM, but he has produced only one volume, whereas Moore has given us several. His present effort—which. we trust will not be his last, otherwise we shall regret the pen sion which be has just deservedly obtained—is a se quel to his former volume, entitled the " Fudges in France," and transplants the members of that ancient and prolific family to England, where they beCome acquainted with the Exeter Hall fanatic, Mortimer O'Mulligan, who contrives to run away with Miss Biddy Fudge, an old maid strongly predisposed 'to matrimony, just at the period when her brother has died, and willed away'all his property to his niece, greatly to the annoyance of the Rev. Bridegroom, who finds himself saddled for life with a pennyless wife, when he had imagined he was espousing an heiress. The plot of the story, it will thus be seen, is exceedingly slight, and the characters few ; but both are handled in Mr. Moore's most graceful and piquant manner. In the City mercantile circles possessing any interest, direct or indirect, in the settlement of the British claims on Denmark, a very grave charge has been advanced against Mr. Spring Rice. It is stated that on Saturday, the Bth instant, a deputation, representing claimants for goods, ships, and car goes, waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who read to the gentlemen composing it a minute totally differing from that entered on the votes of the House of Commons on the 16th of May, 1834, by which he wished to make it appear that Lord Althorp had only undertaken to satisfy the book debt claims. He affirmed also, that the recent motion of Mr. Parker on that subject was never meant to include any other description of claims. The gentlemen composing the deputation not con ceiving, as is stated, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer could possibly be guilty of any misrepresentation in such a matter, had nothing to urge respecting it. The interview closed with their acquiescence, being ignorant of the real state of the case, in his views, and the consequence has been that the vote of compensation for book debts has been allowed to pass the House without any stipulation in favour of the other claimants. All that has been said on behalf of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is, that the minute read by him was the re sult of a private understanding between Lord Althorp and Mr. Parker ; but it is, at all events, said to be in contravention of the resolution as recorded in the votes, by which the Govern ment stood pledged to satisfy the just claims of all the classes. This is a matter, however, which, if truly stated, must lead to some farther discussion in Parliament, for English merchants are not a description of persons to be quietly tricked out of their just rights by any jugglery of this kind.— Times. "We have heard thA the historical work upon which Mr. E. Lytton Bulwer recently announced that he had been long engaged, is all but completed, and on the eve of publication ; it is a History of Greece."—Athenwum.

Last evening a nttinevous meeting of the inhabitants of St. Mat thew's, Bethnal-green, was held at the parish church, convened by the churchwardens, in pursuance of a requisition signed by, some of the most respectable parishioners to the churchwardens, to take into consideration the propriety of addressing the House of Com mons on the present alarming crisis of public affairs, arising out of the serious alterations made the. House of Lords in the Municipal Corporations Reform Bill. Mr. Atkins having been called to the chair, Mr. OWEN proposed the first resolution :—" That the meeting feels deeply grateful to Lord Melbourne's Ministry and the liberal majority of the House of Commons for the enlightened, constitu tional, and important measure of Corporation Reform, which has passed that House, believing that in its full efficiency it is calcu lated to remove the corruptions inseparably connected with self elected and irresponsible power." hr. Owen then remarked, that to this Bill there was scarcely a dissenting voice in the country, ez cept from some corporation junta or terrified town-clerk. The Bill, however, since it left the Commons, had been so much al tered, that it could not be recognised by any one favourable to the measure. It was anything but the Ministers' Bill, or the Bill which the people wanted.—(Hear.) He believed the Mi nisters would act firmly on this occasion.—(Cheers.) If the House of Commons acted with them, and refused the Supplies, the Bill must pass unmutilated. They were bound to refuse the Supplies until the Bill was passed, or those Supplies would get into other hands, as they did in November last, and be used t., - ; coerce the people.—(Hear.) It was therefore the duty of the peop le to show that they would not be trifled with.—(Cheers. ) Mr. WHITTLE seconded the resolution, and observed , t hat he had heard there was no occasion for a House of Lords. — (Ch eers.) He did not go so far, however; but he was for an elective Peerage . —(Hear, hear.) An hereditary Legislature had too long usur p ed the rights of the people's representatives, without their a u t horit y . The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. PALMER proposed the second resolution :—" That this meeting has seen with regret the course which the House of Lords has thought proper to take in regard to the measure of Corporation Reform, and considers it indicative of a design on the part of that branch of the Legislature to continue unjust and unconstitutional influence over the rights and interests of the people which may en danger the peace and welfare of the country."—(Cheers. ) He ob served that the Lords were always opposed to the best interests of the country. It was now time to speak out and ask how long shal l these men stand between the people and their rights?—( Cheers: It might be said what had they to dd with Corporations? They had none. No ; but they knew by woeful experience that corrupt Corporations had upheld bad Governments, to which they had, been victims; and when the Lords opposed this Bill the people asked this pointed question—Can we not do without the Lords ?—( Hear.) Mr. YOUNG seconded the motion, which was carried by accla mation. Mr. GOODWILL proposed the third resolution :—" That this meeting implores the House of Commons to insist on the unim paired completion of the Bill for reforming Corporations, and to stand on its constitutional right of withholding the supplies until the measure be carried."—(Cheers.) When seamen became ob streperous it was the practice to stop their grog, and a similar course ought to be taken with their Lordships.—(Laughter. ) Mr. SHEVILL seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously agreed to ; and a petition, founded on the resolutions, was proposed by Mr. Murray, a native of Norwich. Messrs. WALTON and GREEN also addressed the meeting in support of the petition, which was adopted with enthusiastic feel ing ; and a deputation was appointed to wait upon the Members of the Tower Hamlets, to request them to support it. The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman. MARYLEBONE. A public meeting of the electors and rate-payers of the parish of St. Mary-le-bone was held yesterday in the Workhouse-yard , New-road, for the purpose of passing certain resolutions, and agreeing to a loyal and dutiful address to be presented to his Most Gracious Majesty, conveying the strongest assurance of the una bated confidence of the meeting and the electors of Mary-le-bone in his Majesty's present liberal Ministry, and expressing their deep regret that the House of Lords should have so altered and perverted all the essential clauses of the Municipal Reform Bill, as to render it wholly inefficient and unworthy the acceptance of the nation. The address prayed that his Majesty would give the present Mi nistry such constitutional aid as should enable them to carry their measures into full effect, and particularly the Corporations Reform Bill as passed by the House of Commons ; and that his Majesty would not be influenced by the injurious and unwise opposition now arrayed against his Majesty's Ministers in the House of Lords and also for the purpose of adopting a petition to the House of Cool mons, declaring that the conduct of the House of Peers, in the muti lation of the Municipal Reform Bill, if persevered in, would be subver sive of the constitution, and contrary to the spirit and intelligence ei, the present generation. The petition called upon the House of Commons to remember at the present crisis that its mere bers were not now the tools or nominees of boroughmongeriog Peers, but elected by the people, by whose approval the Bill was sanctioned ; and further called upon the House of Commons not to consent to any compromise of its essential provisions, but to fah° every constitutional measure to resist the encroachments of the Peers. The meeting was most numerously and highly-respectsb l Y attended. Not less than 5,000 people were present during the meeting, and the general number of attendants was between 3,( 0 : and 4,000. Sir William de Bathe, Bart., was unanimously calla' to the Chair. Sir WILLIAM DE BATHE, on introducing the business of the meeting, would go as far as any man in the reform of all abuses' whether they existed in the Government of the country or in Mu. nicipal Corporations, and he would cordially support any Adminis-, tration which had those objects in view. —(Cheers.) He belonge° to no party, but, above all things, he was convince d that while he was forwarding the interests of the community, he was advancing the security of the Crown. ti H. WEYMOUTH, Esq„ proposed the first resolution, condemning the conduct of the House of Peers in mutilating the Municipal B e u : form Bill. When public expression was so much in favour of t";.1 Bill in its original state, was the House of Commons to receive give their sanction to the Bill thus deprived of its essential spirt' He answered No!—(Tremendous cheering.) Then he would e%' hort the people to be calm, be temperate, but above all to be d e : A . termined, and the same course of conduct which had been pursue with regard to the Reform Bill, if adopted in the present emergency' would obtain for the people a similar result.—(Cheers.) ,„,.. House of Lords had turned a deaf ear to the voice of the people, an they had now only to depend upon their own representatives iu the House of Commons, and rely upon them to do their duty at thu.' eventful crisis. His Majesty's Ministers had taken a decide course upon the subject ; one Member of the Administration had recently declared in the House of Lords that although they (t h ci Ministers) were the Ministers of the King, they also cons idered themselves the representatives of the people.—(Cheers.) This d e " claration commenced, as it were, a new era in the annals of Legis; lation, and one that was to be haired with delight by every lover ot the well being of the country. Mr. SAPSWORTH seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. WILSON then moved the second resolution, calling upon th* Members of the Commons House to remember that they are th.„6 holders of the people's purse, and not to consent to the Bill mutilated, nor to enter into any compromise that will aue_, e the principle of the Bill, or any of its salutary clauses. There vin no communion of feeling/existing between the people and t?.: House of Lords. The - ,people, on that account, must look to UP House of Commons in the present emergency.—(Cheers.) They were no longer the nominees of Peers, but the representatives c". the people. He concluded by proposing the resolution , w hich"' seconded by Mr. BOWLING. The petition to the House of Commons was then read ; and, with the resolution, was carried unanimously, Mr. SAVAGE requested that the electors present , when th ey signed the petition and address, would affix their addresses to thoensi" names, that the Lords might, if they liked, find out from sa ao the petition proceeded. Mr. Wilson had said that he had heg h , to doubt the utility of the House of Lords ; that feeling , he as served, was only a sign of the times.—(Cheers.) The Lords, political body, were now prepared for the sacrifice, and he look for the day when they would be offered up as a day of rejaieje,g o as a day of jubilee. He would have the records of the origin 0 , t , , whole number of Peers who formed this majority held up to oble, quy. He would teach children, very infants, to spell such recoia: in order that they might read, learn, and live to cry " Down sc the Peers, the curse of the country."—(Tremendous chi When he looked at the House of Lords he was struck with a sw 6 nishment, and was ready to exclaim, " Good God, and are t !r b e y . the men who are to legislate for the people of England ?1 n.0 .0 principal portion of the majority of Peers now arrayed d.er - 4 the people of England, were originally political Peers who had been made for political purposes. If such Pee rs 0 been once created, could they not be created again ? _( LO to and continued cheering.) He would call upon the King o ut exercise his prerogative on behalf of the people. The King co o f make a Peer of any thing, but he could not make. an honest to al l # a Peer.—(A laugh.) The Peers were united to a man whet: . blow was to be struck against public liberty. He considered , ther s r .` fore, that the maintenance of the three estates of King, Lord s, r a h - e Commons was not essential to the well-being of the people. of English constitution was established before the withering law s primogeniture were introduced.—( Continued cheering.) s g 1111.. NELMES proposed the 3d resolution relative to the a ddre hl to be presented. He observed that if the Peers triumphed with teif Municipal Reform Bill, there would be no security against th attempting to repeal the Reform Bill itself.—(Cheers.) It is notorious that three-fourths of that body were little better tP". i . paupers—(Cries " and bastards")—who sought to palm th o ei s relatives upon the people for support. Ho was happy to find ~4 the people were to be no longer deluded.—(Cheers. ) The obi of of the resolution was to address his Majesty, to entreat his eee,,s ti tional aid to remove this pillar of corruption. The House of rli e were themselves like the present Corporations, an irrespeasl.ip body—no qualification was required from them. It was also eer:j that in the end, unless some reform took place in their House among themselves, the L or d s w ould be no more.—(Cheers.) The resolution was seconded by Mr. Donn. ael The Address to his Majesty having been read, was approved , carried unanimously, with the foregoing resolution. f tls Mr. POTTER then moved the 4th resolution, approving o t o conduct of the Ministers in reference to the Bill, and urgingr o ti , to continue firm in their determination not to permit it to be 00 5t0 . lated. He was desirous of knowing who constituted the 0 3 .1 c i e d cracy. He was persuaded that there were many high-1 11 0; 0 0 noblemen among them. But in the opposition to the Mina e N o f Bill, Lord Lyndhurst was the great mouth-piece of the 141stical Lords. A greater a p os t a te, or a man of more dishonest polio theprinciples, principles, never existed.—(Cheers.) He concluded wi t strongest expressions of confidence in the present Ministry. Mr. KENSETT seconded the resolution. The fourth resolution was then put, and carried unanitnea s b..c * ,44 Mr. LASiGHAM moved the fifth resolution, which was s ec : by Mr. JOSEPII—" That the Members for the Borough. 1 ;;;,, the quested to vote for the rejection of the Bill as mutilated, dial House of Lords ; that they do riot agree to any ccimprornis e s o, will in any way affect the great principles of the Bill, or its e! tial clauses ; and that they will support firmly every constitut!)., measure to resist the encroachments of the Lords.
