documents, were to be taken upon a period of 21 years, it would exhibit a net income considerably larger than that which has been stated, but a material reduction of the future amount of lines is to be expected from the progressive diminution of the value of land. A decrease of the profits from woods is expected. The income will also be decreased by the augmentation of poor livings in the gift of the see intended to be made. Upon the whole it is. considered, that at a distant period the net income may average 4,3501. per annum. • ILLNCOLN. The estimate taken upon the three years 'ending Dec. 31, 1831, exceeds the average of the three subsequent years by the sum of 680/. The property consists almost entirely of impropriate rec tories, with. dependant vicarages, the intended augmentations of which, in virtue of the late acts, will cause a further considerable diminution of the net annual proceeds. LLANDAFF It is considered that upon a sufficiently extenthd average, the in come from linos, which is stated at 731., might be taken at 4001. pt.r annum ; a corresponding increase of income is therefore expected. NORWICH . . The average amount of incense, taken upon the three years ending Dec. 31, 1831, exceeds the average annual value of the revenues of the see, if computed upon the receipts for the last seven years, by the sum of 7001. per annum; and there will be a reduction of income by the augmentation of small livings in the gift of the see. OXFORD A decrease in the revenues of the see must be expected. The average of fines on renewal of leases for the three years ending Dec. 31, 1831, is found on calculation to exceed the average re ceipts from the same source which may reasonably be expected in future by about the . sum of 1,060/., and a deduction of 901., must be allowed for the depreciated value of tithei in hand. If the Crown shall be pleasedltiirenew a lease granted on account of the small revenues of the see, Which will expire in the year 1837, it is expected that, cornmunibus annis, the net value of the see will amount t 0 .1,6581., or about that, VETICRBOROUCH. The total receipts may be expected to be less in future than the average of the three years ending in 1831, as the fines upon re newals of leases, as well as the tithes or Castor, a rectory per manently annexed to the see, are continually decreasing in amount. ROCHESTER. No expected increase or decrease. SALISBURY, , If - the calculation were taken upon an average, embracing a period of years in which it is probable that most of the leases for liv6s, as well as for years, would be renewed, the result would exhibit a net income, communibus annis, of not less than 5,000/., or be tween that sum and 6,0001. per annum.

A diffe rent distribution of the episcopal revenues is the natural re medy of this inconvenience. Incomes must also be provided for the two new sees which are to be erected. 1'2,629 13,929 19,066 . 11,151 . 6,301 4,464... 5,946 . 151 2,'913 If the total amount of the net income of the bishoprics had been liable to no further diminution, we apprehend that these objects might have been nearly accomplished by such a distri bution, without any addition to these incomes by means of commendanzs, either with o r w ith ou t cure o f souls ; the former of which additions we think ought to be altogether discontinued. This might be done, by enabling the future incumbents of the richer sees, either to transfer part of the estates to the poorer bishoprics, or to pay over annually a portion of their incomes to the governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, to be ap plied to the augmentation of such bishoprics; or either of these modes might be adopted, according to the particular cir cumstances of each case. The total amount, as above stated, cannot be, however, considered as the future income, for the reasons alleged, which shows a diminution of nearly 9,0001. per annum ; and a fur ther diminution is also to be expected from the application, either in whole or in part, of impropriations, which form a considerable portion of the incomes of many bishoprics, and which in most instances they were compelled to accept, in exchange for manors and estates, for the improvement of populous and poorly endowed vicarages and curacies connected with them. The total income of the bishoprics in England and Wales will thus no longer be sufficient to afford an adequate income to each bishop, merely by a different arrangement; and the most . obvious mode of supplying the deficiency will be per manently to annex to some of the poorer bishoprics certain cathedral preferments, particularly in the chapters of St. Paul's and Westminster, on account of their position in the metropolis. In considering the incomes of the Archbishops and Bishops, it is proper to advert not only to the expenses necessarily in curred in journies for the purposes of confirmation, consecra tion, and other official duties ; in maintaining ancient and ex tensive houses of residence ; in keeping hospitality ; and in contributing to all objects connected with religion and charity, in a manner suitable to their station ; but to a burden which presses heavily on newly-promoted bishops, who are seldom men of wealth. • The unavoidable expenses attending their appointment are so considerable, that they may be calculated at the income of one whole year in most of the sees, and at much more than a year's income in the smaller ones. Upon the whole, we are of opinion that where the annual income of a bishop amounts to 4,5001., it is not necessary to make any additiOn ; nor would we recommend any diminution, unless it exceed 5,500/. But we think that the two arch bishoprics, and the bishoprics of London, Durham, - and Win chester, ought to have a larger provision than the rest. These arrangements, if carried into effect, will tend to pro mote the desirable object of diminishing the frequency of translation. PATRONAGE. If your Majesty shall be pleased to concur in the sugges tion for erecting two new sees, it will, in our opinion, be ex pedient for the interest of the Church that the bishops of those sees shall possess a certain portion of patronage, in order that they may be enabled to reward deserving clergy men within their dioceses. For this purpose, it will be ne cessary to transfer some adrowsons, to the bishops of the new sees. We do not propose that, when a district is transferred from one diocese to another, the whole of the patronage within such district should likewise pass ; but, in many in stances, partial transfer will be desirable. We, therefore, humbly submit to your Majesty the expediency of providing for all these cases, in any legislative measure which may be founded upon this report. We respectfully beg it to be understood, that in all the proposals which we have submitted to your Majesty, we as sume that regard will be had to vested interests; 'and that none of the proposed changes shall take place with respect to bishops, or incumbents, now in possession, without their consent. The subject alluded to at the commencement of our re port, as one to which we had given our attention out of its regular course, is that of a vacancy in one of the prebendal stalls in the collegiate church of Westminster; respecting which we, at our first meeting, received the following letter from the Chancellor of your Majesty's Exchequer • .6 Whitehall, Feb. 4. " My Lords and Gentlemen,—l feel it to be my duty to inform you, that a vacancy having taken place in a prebendal stall at Westminster, I have advised his Majesty to suspend any appoint ment to that stall until the circumstances connected with it can undergo the inquiry and consideration of the Commission of which you are members; and I have it in command from his Majesty to inform you, that he shall be p re p are d, so f ar as t h e R oya l prero gative is concerned, to make any arrangement with respect to this preferment which shall appear to the Commission best calculated to effect the important object for which the Commission was ap pointed, and in the successful p rosecu ti on o f w hi c h hi s M a j esty takes the deepest interest. " I have the honour, &c., ' ROBERT PEEL." Impressed with this strong mark of the desire which your Majesty entertains to forward the objects of this commission, we proceeded without delay to consider of the best method of giving effect to your Majesty's gracious intentions. We ascertained, upon inquiry, that the parish of St. Mar garet, Westminster, which adjoins the collegiate church, has no individual rector or vicar, but that the dean and chapter, who are the rectors, are bound to provide for the cure of souls, which they generally do by committing it to one of their own body. We further found that the parish contained, according to the last census, a population of 25,334 ; and that, besides the parochial church (of which a portion is devoted to the use of the House of Commons), it has no regular place of worship according to the rites of the Church of England. But there is a chapel, called Broadway Chapel, capable of accommo dating about 1,000 persons, which belongs to the dean and chapter, and is by them leased, at a nominal rent, to a clergy man, who performs the duty and receives the pew rents, but has no parochial charge. It appeared to us, therefore, that the vacant stall could not be better applied than by making it subserVient to the spiritual wants of this very populous and increasing parish. With this view we propose that the church of St. Margaret shall be permanently annexed to the vacant stall in the colle giate church; and that a portion of the annual profits of the stall shall be suffered to accumulate, until a new church shall be built ; when the parish shall be divided, and the incum bent of the new parish shall receive that annual portiou ; the accumulation being applied towards proNiding a parsonage house for such incumbent. • We deemed it right to communicate to the dean and chapter our proposals on this head ; and we have great satisfaction in stating to your Majesty their prompt acquiescence, and their readiness to give up to your Majesty the patronage of St. Margaret's church. They at the same time voluntary offered to surrender, as far as the law would allow them, their pro perty in Broadway Chapel ; with the view of its becoming a chapel of ease to the rectory of St. Margaret, with a certain district assigned to it. Should this arrangement take effect, it may be considered proper that a small portion of the income of the stall should be appropriated to the minister of Broad way Chapel. We are proceeding with all diligence in our inquiry respect ing the other important subjects to which your Majesty has been - pleased to direct our attention ; and shall forthwith take into our consideration the present state of the cathedral and collegiate churches in England and Wales, with the view of submitting to your Majesty some measures by which those foundations may be made more conducive than they now are to the efficiency of the established church. We cannot conclude this report without gratefully acknow ledging the additional proof of your Majesty's anxiety to promote the important objects of this Commission, which has been afforded in the communication of your Majesty's in tention to defer any nomination to the prebendal stall in the cathedral of Canterbury, which has recently become va cant, until the circumstances connected with it shall have undergone our consideration. We have the satisfaction of informing your Majesty, that the Lord Chancellor, and the Archbishops and Bishops, who are members of this Commission, has signified to us their intention of pursuing, with regard to ecclesiastical preferments in their respective patronage not connected with the cure of souls, the same course which your Majesty has been graciously pleased to adopt with regard to the patronage of the Crown. The appointment to a prebendal stall, which has recently become vacant at York, has accordingly been reserved by the Archbishop of York until the Commissioners shall have had ,an opportunity of reporting as to the best arrangement that can be made with respect to it. Your Majesty's gracious communication, acquainting us, that in the event of the avoidance of bishoprics or other pre ferments in the gift of the Crown, the holders of which may have in their patronage dignities or offices not connected with the cure of souls, your Majesty will make such conditional ° appointments as shall reserve all such dignities or offices for the consideration of the Commissioners, will enable us to pro ceed in our enquiries with that caution and circumspection which it is so desirable to observe ; and will, at the same time, preclude the possibility of any inconvenience from the delay, which is inseparable from full and minute inquiry into mat ters so important and so various in respect to their local peculiarities. Note.—The tables in the appendix have been framed from the returns made to the Ecclesiastical Revenues Commission, which are now in course of printing. These and other returns vary as to the precise number of benefices in each diocese ; but as the main object as present is to show a comparison be tween the existing and the proposed condition of the several dioceses the most important point is to have one uniform source Of information ; and minute accuracy, either as to the number of benefices or the amount of population in each case, is not considered essential. Such accuracy would, indeed, be rendered extremely difficult by the necessary interchanges which are proposed, of parts of counties, and of districts and parts of districts, in some cases according to the ecclesiastical, and in others according to the civil divisions of the country. It is hoped that the nearest possible approximation has been arrived at which is consistent with these circumstances, and with the present state of the returns, and the tables will be found to agree in their general results.

Zln .--'7:)ttn+ LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1835. The Dissenters' Marriage Bill has evidently been drawn up in a friendly spirit towards those for whose relief it is intended. That it is liable to some ob jections may be admitted, but if a measure of this kind, surrounded as the subject is with difficulties, be postponed until all objections can be obviated, we must wait till the arrival of the Millcnium before it can be effectually accomplished. The main objection to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan (if we are to judge of the sentiments of the Dissenters from Mr. WlLKs's speech) is, that it places the Dissenting community in a situation of inferiority, as compared with Members of the Established Church. Now, we really do not see that this is either a natural or a fair inference, as it proceeds on the assumption that an ecclesiastical functionary is more respectable than a civil one—an assumption which we are not by any means disposed to allow, and in which we think the Dissenters at large will not acquiesce. We admit that it would be much better to have but one mode of celebrating marriage for every class and denomination of persons, but there are feelings too strong, and prejudices too stubborn in the way of any uniform plan at present, although we do not despair of seeing a much nearer approach to uniformity than the new law proposes. We hold marriage to be essen tially a civil contract. lt has-always been so held by the law of every country in Christendom, not except ing England down to the year 1754. At the same time the general—almost the universal—practice has been, to superadd a religious ceremony. to the civil one ; and whoever considers how much the interests of morality, and the happiness of social life, are bound up with the marriage tie, cannot but approve of this effectual means of rendering so important a transaction solemn and impressive. Since the passing of Lord HARDWICKE'S Act in 1754, marriage (except among the Jews and Quakers), has been cele brated exclusively by the ministers of the Church of England. This has produced the very natural effect of investing the rite with a character purely religious,in the minds of the great bulk of those who belong to the Church. Many, of the Dissenters hold the same opinion. Now to compel those who conscientiously believe marriage to be a religious to submit to its being celebrated as a civil one, would be to inflict a violent wrong upon both Churchmen and Dissenters, without any corresponding benefit. It would be a far better plan to leave it,optional with , the Churchman, as well as with the Dissenter, to havebis marriage celebrated either according to the present or the proposed form. If Sir ROBERT PEEL WOOl concede this point we think it would ,do more than a thousand assertions to convince the Dissenters that it is not intended to draw an invidious distinction be tween the two great classes of the community, This simple, and, as it appears to us, highly expedient al teration, would also enable the Right Hon. Baronet to get rid of a difficulty with which his Bill is now en cumbered. It is intended that the parties who are to be married according to the new form shall swear that they are Dissenters. This renders it necessary to_ define precisely what constitutes a Dissenter--a matter which • may not perhaps be quite so easy as is at first ima gined. It may be asked how many doctrines or cere— monies of the Church must one reject to give him A) claim to be considered a Dissenter ? If he differ in ever so slight a degree from the opinions or form►-of the Establishment, he may think himself warranted in io tuither Ulan that I ouvr UJ _ ~: ;` THE SUN, LONTM_N, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1835. • • .

DELAIDE GALLERY Of PRACTICAL SCIENCE, Adelaide-street, Strand; London.—For this Institution a Royal Charter has be . en gi•antcd, incorporating the Proprietors under the title of the " SOCIETY for the ILLUS TRATION and ENCOURAGEMENT, of PRACTICAL SCIENCE." It is established with a capital divided into 400 shares of 50/. each, and is managed by a Council of not snore than fifteen Pro prietors. The property of the Society consists of the extensive leasehold Premises, the textures, and furniture, the Philosophical and other apparatus, constituting a large portion of tlie" present EXHIBI TION, with a considerable money capital, and the current income derived from visitors and periodical subscribers. Some of the Shares may be now obtained. The Gallery and Rooms, with the numerous Exhibitions which they contain, are OPEN to the Public DAILY, at Half-past Ten o'clock. Admittance Is. Descriptive Catalogues; Is. New inventions, specimens of superior manufacture, and other Works of Art, if approved by the Council, are admitted free of expense, for Exhibition.

Many persons attend the Church one part of the day, and the Meeting-house the other—in what class are they to be put ? and what is to be done when one of the parties belongs to the Church and the other is a Dissenter ? There are, besides, not a few staunch Churchmen and Church women, who have a great repugnance to some parts of the marriage service. Why should not their feelings be consulted as well as those of the Dissenters ? The Churchman may say to Sir.. ROBERT PEEL, " You have given the Dissenter his choice of two modes of having the marriage ceremony performed— /am confined to one. He may go privately before the magistrate, or the magistrate, if so inclined, may go to him—the marriage contract maybe entered into, and the religious service performed, under the paternal roof, while /am compelled to go to the parish church, exposed to the rude gaze and coarse jokes .of the idle and vulgar crowd which always assembles on such occa sions, after I have had my intended marriage proclaimed to the congregation three several Sundays, or have been put to ten times the expense which falls upon the Dis senter." We trust, therefore, that the very objection able oath to which we have alluded will be dispensed with, and that it may be deemed sufficient for the parties to state, that they object to be married accor ding to the form of the Church of England. There is another provision in the Bill which we think may be advantageously altered. Seven days' residence in the Hundred in which the marriage is to take place, is required before the notice is served on the Magistrate. This may often be attended with the greatest inconvenience, and we know of no good likely to result from it. If it is intended to prevent clandes tine marriages, how is that object effected by the pre sent law, which requires a longer residence than this, not merely within the Hundred, but Within the parish where the marriage is to be celebrated ? Let it be remembered, too, that a licence dispenses entirely with the law in this respect. We trust, also, that when the details of the Bill come to be considered in Committee, it will be recol lected that a Hundred is a different thing in different parts of England. In some places it comprehends Many parishes, in others only part of a parish. There will be found in another part of The Sun the first report of the Ecclesiustical Commissioners. The branch of the enquiry to which the Commission ers. have confined themselves in this report is the state of the dioceses ; and they judiciously subdivide the subject into three heads, as it relates to territory, re venue, and patronage : for the improvements suggested under each of these divisions we must refer our readers to the report itself. The leading prin ciples adodted by the CommissiOners in the alterations which they propose appear to us on the whole entitled to approbation. It is clearly impossible to equalize the dioceses in extent, in population, in number of benefices, and in -many other circumstances which must materially affect the extent of a BiShop's duties and labours. All that can be expected in such a case is, that as near an approximation to equality shall be made as may be practicable; and in this re , spect we think no fault can be found with the way in which the Commissioners have discharged their duties. Whether the plan by which they recom mend the minimum stipend of a Bishop to be 4,5001. assigning a still larger sum to the Archbishops, will give equal satisfaction, we doubt. The Archbishop, of Paris has 800/. per annum, and we have never heard it complained of as inadequate to all the legitimate purposes of the office. Why cannot the English Bishops be relieved from that part of their functions, which in fact secu larises them, by making them temporal Peers, and besides subjecting them to the performance of du ties inconsistent with their sacred calling, and re pugnant to their feelings, renders a much larger sti pend necessary to. support a degree of pomp wholly alien from the meek and humble character, of a Minis ter of the Gospel of Christ ? Mr. HumE called the attention of Government last night to the difference of the charge now made on newspapers coming from our several colonies. This must be an error in the construction put upon the Act, which was evidently intended to free all such papers from any charge, and we hope that this exaction will be put an end to. We are glad to see that the House of Commons took up with so much spirit the case of alleged inter ference with the freedom of election, by some of the Government Officers, at the last Chatham election. Nothing but the Ballot will cure such things, and this opinion was expressed by several Hon. Members. The question of Poor Laws for Ireland gave rise to a long discussion yesterday in the House of Commons. The general feeling seemed to be decidedly favourable to the introduction of some system of relief for the aged and helpless poor in that country, and the ques tion was merely deferred to wait for the report of the Commission, which was appointed for that purpose, to enquire into the present state of the Irish Poor, and which is still proceeding with that investigation. No man in his senses would propose to introduce into Ire land, or any other country, the abuses of the Poor Laws, which have been so great a curse to England ; but, divested of those abuses, and founded upon the spirit and intent of the original law of Queen ELIZABETH, such an enactment would be produaive of the greatest bene fit to Ireland, and we are convinced, is absolutely necessary to the welfare and tranquillity of that coun try. It is the only way to oblige the absentee land lords to contribute to the relief of the poor, and to prevent those heartless ejectments of the peasantry which are now so frequent. If those unfeeling men will not spontaneously fulfil the obligations which mo ral and religious duty imposes upon every large pro prietor, they must be forced to contribute their share to the general fund of charity and benevolence. The question of Canadian grievances and com plaints was resumed yesterday, in consequence of a petition presented by Lord BROUGHANI to the House of Lords, from a majority of the representatives of Lower Canada, and a large number of the Upper House of that province. The petition, like that re cently presented to the House of Commons by Mr. ROEBUCK, complained of the conduct of the Execu tive Government, and of the construction of the Upper House, which, instead of being nominated by the Crown, was nominated by a certain set of persons who elected each other. Nearly all the popular Bills passed by the. Lower House were rejected or mutilated by the Upper, and the two Houses had now arrived at a state of direct collision. The Earl of RIPON . defended himself, as former Secretary for the Colonies, by saying, like Mr. SPRING RICE in the Commons, that the Resolutions passed last year by the Legisla tive Assembly of Lower Canada, which embodied the charges contained in the petition just presented by Lord BROUGHAM, although most violent, unjust, and unfounded, were referred to a Select 'Committee of the House of Commons, who rigidly investigated the subject. Every thing had also since been done by the Government to allay the discontent, and to remedy the grievances, which were really found to exist. The extent to which these, lamentable differences have now been carried, the mixture of a French and British population, differing in religion, manners, and ideas, the immediate contiguity of Canada to the United States, and the geographical position of Lower Canada, which cuts oft' Upper Canada from all inter course with the mother country, and the rest of the world, unless through its territory, or that of the United States—all these considerations tend to give this ques tion an unusual degree of importance ; and it has, we are happy to see, received from the Home Govern ment the attention which it demands. Our readers learnt yesterday, that the late Speaker, Lord CANTER BURY, had ,been appointed to proceed as Commis shier to Canada, for the purpose- of endeavouring to bring these unfortunate differences .to a satisfactory settlement. From all that we have learnt respecting this question, we have no doubt that both parties have been greatly to blame. There seems to have been on one side a want of sympathy for the habits and feelings of the French population, and a good deal of fa vouritism and partiality in the acts of the local Go vernment and Upper House ; while, on the other side, the French part of the community, and the Lower House, in which it has a large majority, have been far too violent in their proceedings, and have exhibited a feeling of jealousy, almost amounting to national anti pathy, towards the local Government, and the British portion of their fellow-subjects. This, as might be expected, has led to the adoption of a system in which every species of annoyance has been mutually em ployed, and the present state of things is the result. We have received intelligence from Rome to the sth, from Vienna to the 11th, and from Brussels, to the 19th instant, together with advices from Naples to the 27th of February. In the Papal 'States, the only subject of conversation is the Carnival ; in Ger many, the death of the Emperor FRANCIS ; and in Belgium, the prosperity of the cotton-spinners—all subjects which have been repeatedly pressed on the attention of our readers. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of .Wednesday. They are unusually barren of all inte resting intelligence. On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies, towards the close of its Sitting, was occu pied with discussing the project of the law for making Ministers personally responsible for the acts of the Go vernment. Much discussion took place on the nature of the offences for which they should be made charge able, and whether such offences ought or ought not to be severally specified in the body of the-law. Of these treason, embezzlement, and prevarication, were chiefly dwelt upon ; and when it was proposed to add the fal sification of election returns, and the endangering of the public safety, M. GUIZOT declared that such ad ditions were unnecessary, as they were , severally inclu ded in the crime of "prevarication ! " After this, the world must admit that it knows almost nothing yet of the comprehensibility of language. Who, save such ethical phenomena as M. GuizoT, would think of charging with simple prevarication a Minister who had been notoriously guilty of endangering the safety of the State ? But legislators are mostly in the habit of legislating for themselves, by a rule the reverse of what forms their standard with regard to the mass of the people. The question of Ministerial responsibility has more or less engaged the attention .of the French Govern ment, since the accession of Louis XVIII. In the Charters of 1814 and 1830 it is slightly allu 'ed to, and as every change in the Government is liable to affect the character of the KING, it has become im perative on the SOVEREIGN to press the settlement of a question so necessary to his personal safety. The project of law under *consideration contains only three important articles. The first declares that no official act of the KING shall be legal, unless countersigned by the Minister of that particular department ; that such Minister shall be held responsible for such regal act, precisely as if it were voluntarily his own ; and that all Ministers shall be equally respon sible for the acts of the Government, acting in that capacity. The second article declares that Ministers may be impeached for high treason fraud, and prevarication ; and the third defines minis terial high treason to consist in attempting the life of the KING, or any member of the Royal Family, or subverting the Constitutional charter, or the safety of the State at home and abroad. On the second article being read, an amendment was proposed to be added by a Member of the Opposition, declaring that it shall be lawful to accuse Ministers of endangering the safety of the State, for abuse of official power, and for the non-ex ecution of the charter where its provisions are imperative. This amendment, though in all respects most upob jectionable, was warmly opposed by M. GuiZot, on the ground that prevarication alone included all the guilt of which it was possible to charge the servants of the Crown. FRENCH FUN I)3.—Paats, INlAacit Five p2r Cents., lira'. 51)c. 55c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l believe the Poor Law Commissioners would effect much good by ascertaining the rate of every description of labour in every county, and publishing it; so that that portion of the working class which is worst paid, may either remove to places where they can turn their services to better account, or direct their attention to more romunerative employments.— I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, w. W. SUPERIOR MANUFACTURES.--The Council of the Society for the Encouragement of Practical Science, with that liberality which has marked all their proceedings, admit to their Gallery in Adelaide -street, called " The Adelaide Gallery," for exhibition to the public, all works of art, or spe cimens of superior manufacture, without cost to the inventor or proprietor for admittance, rent, or commission on sales ; and return the articles on demand, requiring only that they be first submitted to the Council, and be subject to their approval. LORD BROUGHAM.-We learn from a private source that this eminent Nobleman and lawyer has consented to act as Judge of Scots Appeals in the House of Lords. As the office brings no emolument, his Lordship is entitled to the greater praise, and is thus relieved from the mean suspicions which his enemies arc so ready to attach to his character. Lord Brougham has long been anxious that the judicial and political functions of the Woolsack should be separated ; and in thus accommodating a successful rival, and leaving him time to do justice to the Court of Chancery, offers, to our minds, a very strong proof, that he loves labour for its own sake, and, as regards his retiring pension, is anxious to do any thing to get rid of an over-sensitive feeling that he is putting the country to charges for nothing.—Dumfries Courier. There is an instance on record of the exercise of authority by a Speaker of the House of Commons which we should suppose without a parellel :—lt is related of Sir Edward Seymour, when he was Speaker in 1672, that his coach breaking down at Charing-cross, he ordered the beadles to stop the next gentleman's they met, and bring it to him. The gentleman in it was much surprised to be turned out of his own coach, hut Sir Edward told him it was more proper for him to walk in the streets than the Speaker of the House of Commons, and left him to do so without furth er apo l ogy. There is a clause in the new Beer Act to the effect that no license for a beer shop will be granted after the .sth of April, 1836, for any house not rated at la per annum. This will be the means of closing many of the road-side concerns. On learning that there was an idea of calling Mar shal Maison to the Presidency of the Council, one of the Deputies remarked that Louis Philip had already had four Marshals killed under him.

In the House of Lords last night, the LORD CHAtiell" Lon laid on the table the first Report of the Established Church Commissioners. Lord BaouGuam presented a petition, signed by a majority of the Lower House of As: sembly, in Canada, complaining of certain ex actions and vexations to which they had been subjected by the Ele f tive GOvernment. The Noble 'and Learned Lord, "I supported the petition, observed that there we re pelle t° conflicts between the two Canadian Houses of Assemb l Yt which of course tended greatly to impede publ ic business! The Earl of RIPON complained that he had not received due notice of the presentation of the pe tition. His Lord' ship ship denied that any blame was to be attribut ed to hint, - respected the differences between the two H ouses of A 5; sembly in Canada, for that when in office, he ha d (I°D t every thing in his power to remove all cause of core Plain The petition was then laid on the table. The puke RICHMOND gave notice that on Tuesday be should and certain returns, relative to the gaols of England le their government ; also for a Committee of EnquirY t same subject. In the House of Commons, the Kinsale Borough E l . ec i : tion Petition was discharged for want of sureties, tilblco. was the case also with the LN nn Regis Petition. S ir . STRICKLAND presented a Petition for a differen t sYster°!: the method of collecting the Assessed Taxes. Mr• To he renewed his motion for an Address to the KIN G, that ; London University be granted the privilege of coafgrr t ; degrees in Medicine and Divinity. In reply to a r t, ues sir put by Mr. H. GRATTAN, Sir R. PEEL observed Hilt E. SUGDEN would prefer no claim to the retiring P°sl:: allowed to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Mr. °131. : 1 brought forward a motion in favour of the introductl,°'a, a system of Poor Laws into Ireland ; and in 50 cl°l in stated that in Dublin alone, there were 30,000 Pers °°s '. three-fourths of whose houses there was scarcely an mi7llle, of furniture. Mr. O'CONNELL opposed the chiefly on the ground that he should wish to see the Ref e r , of the Commissioners before any decisive steps w ere tt, Mr. GOULUURN and Sir R. PEEL opposed it for the sa y ; reason. The motion, after some further discussion, withdrawn. Mr. HUME moved for an estimate of the e_: , pense to be incurred for the diplomatic mission to Pty, which was agreed to. Mr. GLADSTONE obtained Pel be sion to bring in a Bill, which was read a first time , {or 3 5t better regulating the carriage of passengers in mer r li r , vessels from the United Kingdom to North Anieric a ,i n D.
