SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS- It is not since the Reform Act came into existence that we have become advocates for Church reform. We con tended for a reform of the abuses of the Church Establish ment before that act was in existence, or even dreamt of ; but our principle of Church Reform was then, as it is now, friendly, not hostile to the Church—a preservative, not a destructive principle. We then, as we do now, deprecated the existence of pluralities and sinecures, and the holding of livings in commendant. We argued in favour of a more equal distribution of ecclesiastical revenues, that the re proach might be removed from the face of the congrega tion of idle pastors, starving their flocks that hungered in vain for the bread of life, while they themselves were pam pered with the corrupting wealth of the world, and the bard-working clergyman but too often felt the pinching of sordid want. At that time, and up to this very moment, Church Reform was and is opposed by a certain por tion of the Clergy ; but they are those who entered the Church and are enamoured of it, not on account of the purity of its doctrines—the reasonableness of its its faith—the toleration of its sentiments—the beauty of its liturgy, or any one or all of those Christian graces and charities with which it is eminently adorned, but because of its pluralities, its sinecures, and the corrupt patronage which is the source of most of the defects that impair its usefulness, and of the blemishes that dis figure its beauty. The great object of an Established Church is to be a national depository of pure and undefiled doc trine—a living fountain of divine instruction to the people, but more especially to the poor, who cannot afford to pay for scriptural education—a school for training a succession of learned and pious champions of Christianity, and an ar moury for their weapons—a bulwark for the integrity of the Christian faith against the assaults of fanaticism on the one side, and of infidelity on the other. Those who object to Church Establishments on principle, as being injurious to the interests of religion, forget, or wish others to forget, that the oldest national establishment of -religion was the Church raised among God's chosen people, when they walked in his ways, and when their rulers were prophets acting under the immediate inspiration of Heaven. Higher testimony than this, we presume, could not be borne to the usefulness, or rather the necessity of a Church Establish ment ; and it was not until the Israelites neglected the pure worship of the temple that the ark of the covenant fell into the hands of the Philistines. We have no desire to disturb the admirers of the voluntary system in the enjoyment of their theory, or its practical application, so far as it is not exercised in a way which shows that they are just as intole rant of the opinions of others as zealous for their own. We would legitimately resist the voluntary principle by reform ing the Church—confident, as we are, that nothing could tend more to the increase of the spiritual influence of the Establishment, and the consequent decrease of the influ ence of those who are its bitter and persevering enemies. In our paper of the 14th inst. appeared a communication from a Correspondent, who took a just and sensible view of Church reform, and who, in proposing that that reform should be extensive and searching, was certainly animated with the best feelings towards the Church. Speaking of the advantages which would result from a pure and honest choice of Ministers, in opposition to that corrupt patronage which has operated so injuriously to the interests of true religion, he said " The promotion of popular preachers— men of talent, active and laborious in their vocation— esteemed and beloved in their parishes, would be one great means towards strengthening the sinews of the Chur c h, and rendering it an object of love and attachment to the great body of the people. The days are sealed, I trust, for that base system of patronage which has long hung po ke. a blight over this precious plant, withering it e very core, stunting its growth, and cur tailing 4. of the rich fruits which it might otherwise produce. - s 'fen of superior powers and extensive useful ness should 1)6 aught out and promoted, without regard to family connection, -kr any of those secret arts of policy by which preferment has • ~ e n hitherto obtained." With those sentiments our own perfeL concur. It cannot be denied that the Church patron a g e 1 " -Ted in the hands of Minis ters of the Crown, has been tic .., + „ f re in general most shamefully abused. If it h a d no t bee;._ so the circumstance of a clergyman of known t a l en t an d piety— irpui ar pret! i • h ed and one beloved by th e parishioners, haviii by Sir Robert Peel to th e li v i ng o f St. Bride''sn, (Prs)*°lntlis short administration, would not have been accounted and meritorious an exercise of the patronage of the CroTi e : The vacancy which led to that preferment was occasioned by the Whig Premier appointing his own tutor, according to the most approved fashion of patronage, to the Bisho[ ric of Bristol ; and we believe the removal of the one caused as little re g ret in the parish as the coming o f th e o th er occasioned gladness. If the Chief Minister of the Crown, who exercises the highest patronage in the Church, does not exercise it with purity and discrimi nation, the Establishment must suffer in its highest in terests, and the character of the Church is stained with the defilement of Ministerial corruption. We believe that Sir Robert Peel's Bill of Church Reform would have been a large and substantial one, had not a faction, impatient of exclusion from place, and supported by another faction anxious for the destruction, not the reform, of the Church, driven him from office. His plan of reform, as sketched out in its great outlines, embraced the abolition of sine cures, the doing away with pluralities and the consequent evil of non-residence, the equalisation of the revenues of bishoprics (which would also do away with the evils result ing from the present practice of translation), and last, lint not least, the providing a decent and adequate pro Vision for every working clergyman, that the rule might be re duced to practice which says that " he who ministers at the altar should live by the altar." But this safe and salu tary plan of Church reform was pushed aside for Lord John Russell's plan of Church spoliation. A plan which, as Mr. David Ricardo has justly observed, in his address to the electors of Stroud, goes to establish a precedent, " which hereafter may be applied by other persons to the destruc tion both of the Established Church of England, and of all other species of property."—Morning Herald. The real nature of the contest in the Senate House at Oxford, the result of which is announced with such exulta tion in the Albion last night, appears to be but imperfectly understood. It was not a contest between \Vhigs and Tories, as the illhion would wish us to believe. The Whigs, we have reason to know, cared little about the matter. The proposed change, as far as it went, met with their approba tion, but was very far from coming up to their views of what the exigency of the case demanded. It did not ori ginate with them ; it was not prepared by them, any more than it was proposed by them. They are wholly innocent of bringing forward a measure which the Ultra-Tories openly announce as subversive of the .most sacred institu tions of the couutry. The real culprits (liorrendum dietu) are no less persons than the Duke of`Wellington and Sir R. Peel ; and it is on their heads, especially on that of the former, that the burden of this dreadful enormity must rest. The supporters and friends of his Grate spared no efforts to accomplish their wicked purpose, and his Grace's vene rable name was unsparingly used to olitain partisans ; but whether they made an awkward ,use of arguments which of course were necessarily new in their mouths, or whether their adversaries were deaf to all ar guments having even a tinge of liberality, we know not, but the powers of persuasion which his Grace has before so successfully tried, were all exerted in vain, and were unable to ward off a most signal and decisive defeat. The Declaration on which the anathema of the University has been so solemnly pronounced, is as follows : " I declare that I do, as far as my knowledge extends, assent to the doctrines of the United Church of England and Ireland, as set forth in her Thirty-nine Articles, that I will conform to her Liturgy and discipline, and that I am ready and willing to be instructed in her articles of religion, as required by the statutes of this University." This is certainly a more rational form than the present mode of subscribing the articles. Bishop PHILLPOTTS has given us his gloss on the subscription ; but the Bishop's sense of moral obligation has fallen somewhat into disrepute, since the specimen afforded us by his conduct on the Catho lic Question. It would, we humbly think, have been wise in a learned body, professing to be the exclusive guardians of our religious faith, to do away with the possibility of doubt on such a subject as this. The proposed de claration opens no door to the Dissenters. It leaves the University as exclusive as before. We expected, therefore, to see it hailed with general acclamation. In stead of this, no sooner was it promulgated than the cry arose that the Church was in danger. Christ-church was in flames. Letters were issued in all directions to Fellows who had retired on College livings, urging them to stand by the institutions to which they owe their bread. One of the most learned and distinguished dignitaries of the University appealed to the passions and prejudices of his order, in a pamphlet entitled," Questions by a Bachelor of Divinity," which we could hardly have believed the pro duction of one who passed once as the friend of civil and religious liberty. The only work we have seen on the Li beral side is a small tract called " Reasons for preferring a simple Declaration to the present mode of exacting Signa ture to the Twenty-nine Articles at Martriculation." The author is evidently a Tory ; but he appear s no t q u it e com fortable i n hi s creed, and he writes so sensibly and impar tially, that we wish he were well out of it. We are not aware that a single Whig has drawn his pen in the contro versy. A very important lesson may be learnt from this con test. One of the great arguments for reconciling this coun try to the Peel-Wellington Administration was, that the Church and the Peers would yield to it what they never would yield to the Whigs. The smallest concession, it was said, would be made reluctantly to the latter, from fear lest an unfair advantage should be taken of it ; whereas, in the case of a Tory Administration, they would repose with confidence on its intentions, and when assured from such a quarter that a measure was required, they would assent to it cheerfully. But what do we now see The Duke of Wellington and the more liberal Tories, anxious that the University of Oxford should stand well with the country, propose a change which leaves the power of the High Church party precisely where it was, and merely tends to satisfy the ,conscientious scruples of many most respectable churchmen- . —and yet that change, small as it is, the University refuses to make ! So far from the Duke of Wellington being able to effect what could not be effected by others, the innovation appears to be doubly re sented, because it is proposed by a friend, It is expected of the Duke, that he should be the last man to sanction any innovation whatever ; and that it is quite enough to have to defend themselves against the claims of opponents without having also to combat friends. The rancorous hatred borne to Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington for conceding the claims of the Catholics, though they endeavoured to pacify the Church party by- alleging that their opinions remained unchanged, and that they yielded only to an over-ruling necessity, ought to have prepared us for this exhibition. In fact, the advance to wards liberality made in 1829, broke up the Tory party. In vain the more liberal party of the body now endeavour to draw over the Ultras to some concessions to meet the spirit of the age. The moment the slightest movement is at tempted, the heterogeneous nature of the union becomes manifest. The parties agree only in opposing the Re formers. Whenever it becomes necessary to act, the High Church party, who wish things to remain stationary, fall out with the moderate Tories, who are disposed to concede something to public opinion, in order to prevent a larger measure of Reform from being ultimately carried. The attempt to coax the High Church party into liberal mea sures, is about one of the most hopeless tasks that can well be conceived. Ultra-Toryism and Liberalism are as oppo site as light and darkness. Reforms can only be effected by men imbued with the principle of Reform. When influential classes of the country have determined on ameliorations, their will must be the law. In this country public opinion has pronounced itself strongly in favour of Reform in all our Institutions, and though the Duke of Wellington has been ungraciously repulsed by Oxford, yet ere long the bigots of that Uniyer sity will find themselves under the necessity of yielding to the demands of the nation. In fact, the Duke of Welling ton has not gone the right way to work. His Grace, no doubt, conceived that he might coax the Doctors of Oxford into some slight advance, that he might open the way to further changes. But they suspected his drift, and refused to move a single step. But when the fiat of the nation is pronounced through its representatives, the authorities of the University must yield obedience. In expressing our selves thus respecting the hopelessness of dallying with the High Churchmen of Oxford, we do not wish to be misunder stood. We know that there are many eminent men in both Universities, especially in Cambridge, who zealously advocate the most extensive Church Reform, and it would be the height of injustice to class them among the obstinate enemies of improvement, who, owing to the long reign of the Tories, crowd every department of the Church and State.—Morning Chronicle. We have determined to wait till the resolutions on edu cation moved by Lord Brougham shall appear in print be fore we notice them at any length ; but we may perhaps be allowed to throw out one suggestion. It is well known that at the time when the greatest number of endowed schools was founded, that is, just before and just after the Reformation, education implied that degree of classical, or, as it is called, " grammar-school" knowledge, which should enable the student to perform the functions of the learned professions of priest or lawyer. If, therefore, a man, or a body of men, established a school for gratuitous instruc tion, the school was of course a grammar-school, and no thing but a grammar-school ; for a farmer or a tradesman, or any person in humble circumstances; would never have required or dreamt of any education for his child, unless that child was to be dedicated to the Church or the bar. Far different is the case now. With few exceptions the learned professions are supplied from the middle classes, who have the means of educating their children from their own funds ; while the poorer section of these classes re quire for their offspring an education suited to those va rious trades and mechanical occupations for which they are destined, instead of that classical education which in their case would be a mere incumbrance. But unluckily there are no respectable schools for gratuitous instruction in writing, arithmetic, and the other essential branches of know ledge, required by this large and important class. The gram mar-school is open to them, but it gives them a stone for 0, -;1 ; it is therefore in very rare instances resorted to. ;t not evident that, looking to the intention of the founders ok met-schools, they wished to supply a want then existing, a. c., to tult..,,h to the. noor the means of the only education whi c h was then in - i t not presumable—nay, is it not certain, that if the same pe,- sons were now to found schools, they would, acting in the same spirit of serving the comparatively poor according to their wants, accommodate them with the means of instruc tion best suited to their purposes ? If they enjoined the teaching of Greek and Latin, when Greek and Latin were the only desiderata, would they now substitute some other branch of instruction in cases where Greek and Latin would he utterly useless ? One thing is certain—that immense funds, more than sufficient for the education of all the poor, are unemployed for the purposes of education, because the poor repudiate a sort of instruction which is to them a me! e mockery. Would it then be any violent stretch of the power of Parliament to pass sonic act which should enforce the spirit, though it may alter the letter, of the charters cs* these numerous and wealthy institutions. Let an act be passed empowering the masters of these schools to teach the rudiments of common and mechanical education, and the schools which are now empty, or filled only with wealthy boarders, to the advantage of nobody but the en dowed master, will at once be crowded with the sons of small farmers, and small tradesmen, and poor mechanics, for whose benefit they were founded ; and useful instruction will be universally diffused, without putting the country to the expense of a single additional shilling for an object so transcendently important.—Times. A conversation took place last night in the House of Lords, which will excite rather more than ordinary inte rest. Its subject was the Repeal procession in Ireland which welcomed Lord Mulgrave on his arrival, and was honoured accordingly by the grateful patronage of his Ex cellency ; and the resignation, by the Marquis of Welles ley, of his office of Lord Chamberlain of the King's House , hold. It appears from the statement of the Marquis Wel lesley that these subjects are distinct, for, corroborating in this instance the assertions of the Lords Melbourne and Brougham, the Noble Marquis says, that he had resigned before he knew anything whatever about that Repeal procession, by which the Earl of Mulgrave —as the Earl of Mulgrave, felt highly honoured, but by which, •at the same time, the representative of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was, it cannot be denied, grievously insulted. The Re peal parade requires no further illustration after the forcible remarks which were made upon the subject by the Earl of Wicklow and other Members of the House of Lords. It amounted simply to an assumption by Mr. O'Connell, for, though absent, the pageantry was entirely his, of the sovereignty of Ireland, acquiesced in without resistance, or rebuke, or murmur, by the faithful and loyal Lieutenant of the legitimate Sovereign. The cause of the Marquis Wellesley's resignation of his high office in his Majesty's Court remains involved in nearly as much obscurity as ever, although the Noble Marquis has been present in the -House of Lords, and has spoken upon the subject. His Lordship declared that he had not separated himself from the present Ministers of the Crown on account of the above-mentioned overt act of resistance to the authority of the British Crown and laws, committed with their connivance. But he cautiously abstained from from either affirming or denying the proposition, that he had been driven to this step by his alarm and disgust at the es tablishment, which the overt act in question rendered scarcely more evident than it was before, of an authority in Ireland paramount to that of the Sovereign and Legis lature of the United Kingdom. Upon this proposition fur ther discussion is to take place, if it should happen to be convenient to the Noble Marquis to be in his place in the House of Lords on Tuesday next. Until that day we willingly forbear from any further comment upon the sub ject, except it be to express our belief that the Marquis Wellesley is not the man to relinquish an honourable and advantageous office from mere caprice, and that he might and would have attributed his proceeding, frankly, and with out reserve, to its true cause, had that cause been declining health, the infirmity of years, or any other circumstance appertaining personally to himself. His Lordship seems to be restrained from affording any explanation of his resigna tion of office by an honourable and elevated sense of duty, which forbidr him to compromise the Administration under which he had accepted office. But this delicacy, it is mani fest, would not have restrained him from affording a satis factory explanation of the occurrence in question had it been possible, without violating truth, to offer any that is calculated to exalt the reputation, and improve the position of the existing Ministry.—Morning Post. The Cheltenham petition against drunkenness is a blow, by a side wind, aimed against the beer-shops. Men are quite as likely to get drunk, one would suppose, at a public-house, where gin and all other spirits are sold, as at a shop where beer only can be bought. DISTRESS IN KERRY.—A public meeting has taken place at Dingle, for the purpose of ministering to the wants of the pauper population of that district, and preventing the visitation of so dreadful calamity as famine among them. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 20. We have no alternation in our Cotton -market. Prices keep steady.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1835. PALACE COURT. THE IMPERIAL GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY V. CHURCH. • This case involved a very important question respecting the rules of Gas Companies, and excited very great inte rest. It was an action brought by the Imperial Gas Light' and Coke Company,„against the defendant, the landlord of the George and Dragon, at Chelsea, to recover 21.'165. 6d., for a quarter's supply of gas. It appeared that the con tract which the Company enter into with individuals for the supply of gas to their premises, contains several rules and regulations, one of which is to this effect :—" Gas is not to be supplied otherwise than by the,year, except by special written agreement, and parties intending to discon tinue taking gas must either give not less than three calen dar months previous notice in writing, to expire at the end of the ensuing quarter, or pay up the rate to that time." Now it seemed that a rival company had started in opposi tion to the plaintiffs, the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company, and the defendant, wishing to have his supply of gas from them, gave only a week's notice to the plaintiffs of his intention'to make the change, as the week would have completed the end of the quarter. The plaintiffs, however, standing upon the rule contained in the contract, refused to receive the notice, and brought their action for the quarter's supply. The Jury returned a special verdict for the plaintiffs, findingthat they had supplied the gas according to the terms of their contract. A rule nisi for a nonsuit had'since been obtained by the defendant. After hearing evidence, the Learned Judge, ,C. J. KNOWLES, Esq., said he must discharge the rule for a nonsuit. Mr. CURWOOD, for the defendant, wished to apply for an arrest of judgment, but The Learned JUDGE said, that in that Court execution always followed the judgment. CONS - ISTORY COURT.

This was a question upon the admission of an allegation responsive to a libel, given in by Mr. John Charles B. Tr.- vannion, charging adultery against Charlotte Trevannion, his wife, and praying a separation. The allegation on the part of Mrs. Trevannion denied the charge, and set forth acts of adultery as committed by the husband, in conse quence of which the wife prayed a decree in her favour. In addition to the peculiar nature of the case the suit is of in terest, as proceedings were originally commenced against the wife, and the cause was forwarded through the prelimi nary stages, the wife being ignorant of the course taken by her husband, the citation having been served upon the wrong lady ; it became necessary, therefore, to commence the suit ile novo. Dr. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of the husband, objected to many parts of the allegation. It alleged that the conduct of the husband towards the wife had suffered a material change, in consequence of the uncle not having left her his property, as was anticipated. It is also alleged that the husband had been guilty of adultery with the natural daughter of a Noble Lord, and that subsequently he had formed an improper connection with the wife of a Colonel in the army, Mrs. Trevannion having discovered letters in the possession of the husband which went to prove that a clandestine correspondence had existed betsieen them. He (Dr. Phillimore) contended that there was no proof, in con sequence of these letters, that the husband had been guilty of adultery ; as they might have been written by the lady under an ardent affection, she being an Italian. It was also pleaded that the husband had refused the wife marital rights ; and declarations were set out that be had expressed himself tired of her, wishing to God' be could get rid of her, which the Court ought not to admit to proof. Dr. LUSHINGTON, in considering the admissibility of the allegation, rejected the article alleging that the husband had declared that by marrying Mrs. Trevannion he had been prevented from forming an advantageous matrimonial al liance ; but the Court must admit the declaration alleged to have been made by the husband, that he wished to get rid of his wife, to proof. With respect to the letters, be considered they must be admitted to proof. With the alterations he had noticed he should admit the allegation. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Stephen Spence, an unopposed insolvent, whose case came before the Court on a former day, when it stood adjourned, to produce the detaining creditor, came up again to-day. The detaining creditor was examined to prove the vali dity of the debt on which he had arrested the insolvent. It appeared that both resided at Brighton, and had been " friendly disposed" towards each other for some time. The insolvent about two months ago left Brighton and came to London, his friend" followed him, found him, and ar rested him. He was asked where ,he found his friend, be Said he looked in at the Marshalsea Prison, and not being there, he found him in the neighbourhood. It appeared that the-arrest had taken place to clear the insolvent from his debts, his creditors principally residing in Brighton. _ . . _ . The Court was of opinion that it would be an abuse of The Act of Parliament to discharge one who was his own prisoner, and ordered the petition to be dismissed. The petition was dismissed accordingly. The. Court rose till Tuesday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGIL•SrI?EET. A man named Palmer, with his wife and Live small chil dren, one an infant in arms, have been for two or three mornings placed at the bar as vagrants, the policemen hav ing found them sleeping in the open streets. The man when questioned on the first occasion said he had no place of abode, and his family were in a state of starvation. He added he had come from Newport ; in Monmouthshire, where he had for a length of time carried on btisiness in a small way, but, as he had understood from the parish there, not so as to acquire a legal settlement. His settlement, he had reason to believe, was the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, he having some years ago lived as servant at an hotel in that parish. The man was discharged, and directed to go to the overseer of St, George, and ask for relief. The man, wife, and family were again brought up the next morning, having again been sleeping in the st! eetg, He stated that he had been to St. George'S parish, and had asked for some temporary relief. The overseers inquired if he had lived in the parish ; he replied no, and he was then told to leave the place, as nothing would be given him. He then went to the overseers of St. Giles's, in which parish he had last slept, and by the advice of the Magistrates asked for relief as casual poor. He was, as he said, peremp torily refused relief, and he then went to the parish of St. James's, because apprehended in that parish, but he was also unsuccessful. Yesterday the man and his family were again charged under similar circumstances as vagrants, and the man stated that, agreeably to the directions of the Magistrates, he had again gone to the overseers of St. Giles's, but had been very roughly told that nothing could be done for him. The family were of course discharged, and Mr. CONANT told the man to go again to St. Giles's Board, and ask for some bread for his family. The man shortly returned and said that in answer to his application the overseers had told him that the hour for granting relief was passed, and there fore lie would get nothing that day. Mr. CONANT said it appeared very singular for the Board to fix any hour for the relief of the casual poor. He did not see how poor applicants could be aware of such regula tions ; and it did appear to him rather hard they should suffer for a circumstance which might possibly be unavoid able. . Mr. CONANT and Mr. DYER then referred to the New Act, apparently considerably perplexed as to their power of acting in the matter. In St. James's and St. George's parishes they could do nothing, as the Act took away the power where there was a parish Board, or in cases of non residence ; but in the case of the. St. Giles's parish the Bench determined to act, but previous to taking any steps, Mr. Conant desired Avis, one of the officers, to go with the man, and hear him again ask the overseers for relief. The man did so, and Avis stated that the overseer had promised to give them some bread in the evening and in the morning, and to set the man to break stones, and the woman and children to pick oakum. The overseer had al so s t a t e d th at he had relieved the applicant. The man had never been relieved by the parish of St. Giles's, and observed it was a long time to wait for bread, as his little children had tasted very little food that day and, as he had no money, he and his fa m ily mus t s l eep t h at night either in the streets or in the st a ti on -h ouse . Th e ap plicant hinted his fears, that with his sickly state of health, he should be able to earn very little at such laborious work as stone-breaking. Mr. DYER said he would only be required to do what his strength allowed him. All had now been done for him which was in the power of the Magistrates. The man then retired. A gamekeeper, belonging to His Gra ce , th e D u k e o f Richmond, shot a Honey Buzzard last week. The bird (a female) was, with her three eggs, presented to the Philosophical Society for the Museum. We hear from Rye that no importance is attached to the movements of the peasantry. The labourers are re turning to their work, convinced at last *hat the sole object of their employers has been to release them from the trammels of their concealed foes.—Brighton Guardian. LORD MAYOR FINED.--On Thursday last, the Mayor of Lincoln was fined for obstructing the foot-pavement by having bales of drapery goods placed before his shop. The information was laid by one of the police. —Boston Herald. On Tuesday, the ci-devant Turkish Minister, Na mik Pasha, after dining with his successor, Nourri Effendi, took his departure from his residence in Portland-place. He returns through Paris and Vienna to Constantinople, leaving behind him impressions of mingled regret and admiration. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
