The Church of Scotland occupied the attention of the House of Lords last night for some time. The discussion affords a striking instance of the power of good sense when opposed to the sophistry of faction. Lord ABERDEEN introduced the subject by a whole sale, and not very temperate condemnation of the Com missioners, appointed to inquire into the resources of the Church. The Commissioners, he said, were hostile to the Church, and there wa::, one of them who had even written a book—an able and temperate work he ad mitted—in which the voluntary principle was advocated ! But the gravamen of the Noble Lord's charge against the Commission, or rather against those who appointed it, was that it usurped the rights of the General As sembly, which alone had the power of regulating ec clesiastical matters in Scotland. The right to en quire into tithes he positively denied in the same breath, because they were not the property of the Church but of private individuals, as much as the tithes held by lay implopriators in England. We have a word or two say to Lord ABERDEEN on these points, and we must, in the outset, congratu late the Church of Scotland on its good for tune in numbering, not only among its mem bers, but among its ruling elders, a Nobleman so gifted both by nature and art. We have often heard with regret, that the Scottish nobility have of late years shewn an inclination to wander after other Gods, pre ferring altars, and " ill-mumbled masses," and all manner of prelatical abominations, to the pure doctrine and simple worship of the Presbyterian Church. That Lord ABERDEEN is not among these backsliders from the covenanted faith, is alike honourable to his religious feelings, and to that Athenian taste by which he is so highly distinguished. 'We have a very sincere respect for the Church of Scotland. As an Establishment we think it almost a model, and its ministers, if not so deeply learned as those of the Church of England, are much more de voted to their calling, and therefore more effective as religious instructors. But religious establishments, be they ever so skilfully contrived, have a principle inhe rent in their very nature, which, from the first moment of their existence, is at work for their destruction. They are inflexible. They are founded on the as sumption that the human mind is to stand still. They make no provision for that progressive improvement, which is as much the law of the species as it is of the individual ; and, therefore, though they may be in some measure adapted to the exigencies of particular periods, they want that elas ticity of constitution by which alone they can keep pace with the march of mind. The result has uni formly been that the people, as they advanced in know ledge, have seceded from established Churches, and formed religious associations for themselves, unfettered by the trammels of creeds and catechisms. When a Church finds itself deserted by its own members, and sees other sects increasing in numbers, it is not perhaps wonderful that it should overlook the real cause, and attribute its unpopularity to circu, •tances which have little or nothing to do tv . ; .m:—.•r. Thus we find the increase of dis -1 •! , . . O , 7. ; ."-s •,..,,- . is attributed to the want of accommo .4) "lis, *., s in the Establishment ; and to re ....rt V il le: :,;. •emand has been made upon the Go eiitif4t * . - tizi if .1; ,nt of public money to build and en ' VlViiiiii fd4itiona hurches. Now there are various con : :,',. - % . t . 4 ihs ,wh h might be add uce d, b ot h f or an d .. -,, ~ ~ , Ittich a grant, but it is not our i n te n ti on -.... ,vt to argue that question at present. This, how ever, we think, no one will dispute, that before such an application of the public money could be jus tified, it was the botinden duty of the Government to be well satisfied that the grant was really required, and that the Church itself did not possess the means of extending its own usefulness without the aid of the State. They could only do this by appointing a Commission to ascertain, first, what was the actual state of religion in that part of the Kingdom, and what were the funds there applicable to religious purposes ? • For Lord ABERDEEN, therefore, to object to such power being given to the Commissioners, is in our opinion not a little unreasonable. Would he have had the public money given away without knowing whe ther it was required or not ? That may be very con formable to Tory practice, but Lord MELBOURNE has not so learned his duties as a guardian of the public interests. As to the tithes being the pro perty of individuals, such is not the fact. At the Reformation, the whole of the Church pro perty was seized by the aristocracy, under various pretences. During the reign of JAMES the Sixth, numerous illegal grants of this property were made by the Crown, and when a Commission of In quiry was issued by CHARLES 1., the Scotch nobi lity of that day resisted it. To avoid a rebellion, CHARLES was obliged to revoke the Commission, and to limit his inquiries to the teinds or tithes. These were valued, and a compromise was made by which the tithes, though then in the possession of individuals, were to be available for the maintenance of the Protestant Clergy. Out of them the Clergy have been supported, successive additions to the stipends being made under the authority of the Court of Session, as the circumstance's of the times demand. The tiends, therefore, are really held in trust for the Clergy, who in many, we believe in most, of the parishes have already absorbed the whole of them. Where, however, they are not exhausted, it surely is not con trary to the interests of the Church that their amount should be ascertained. The gentlemen who have been appointed to this office, have, no doubt, an invidious task to perform ; but nothing can be more ungenerous towards them, or more impolitic towards the Church, than such attempts as this of Lord ABERDEEN to lower them in public estimation. Our readers will perceive to what a length some of the. Peers carried their hostility to the Corporation 'Bill last night. It was understood that after the lengthened discussion which took place on Thursday, the third reading was not to be opposed. Such, however, is the inveteracy of the lordly hatred entertained towards this measure, that five Peers were found who had the hardihood to divide the House on the third reading. Not that we should have at all regretted it had they succeeded in throwing it ,out : on the contrary, we should have greatly rejoiced, for in that case we should have had a certainty of getting a better Bill than we are now likely to have, and an additional one for the reform of a Corporation, more unsuited to the taste, and more at variance with the interests of the people, than any or all of those which are proposed to be re-modelled. The Bill went to the Commons last night, and is to be printed before it is taken into that mature conside ration which its altered state demands. We trust the Commons will maintain their ground N\ about flinching. The Great Western Railway Bill was read a third time last night in the House of Lords, and passed. The last desperate struggle between the aristocratic and the democratic pi inciple, is now on the eve of commencement, and be its immediate result what it may, its final one can be no other than the extinction of a factious, irresponsible Oligarchy.. The two hos tile parties have been advancing nearer to each other ever since the passing of the Reform Bill ; but they are now drawn up, face to face, in battle array, and pledged, one at least, not to quit the field of action till its antagonist power is overthrown. Had their Lord ships not been as completely strangers to the character of their countrymen as the most ignorant Russian, or Austrian Nobleman, they would ',never have provoked a collision in which all the chances were against them. Not even the most sanguine of their party, had he thought fit at the outset to exercise the slightest re flection, could possibly have anticipated, under the circumstances, any other than a shameful and decisive defeat. For where is the strength—where are the resources of the House of Lords ? They have no longer a majority in the Commons—no longer influence with the people—they cannot calculate on the army, for twenty years of peaceful intercourse with his countrymen have taught the soldier that he is a citizen, as well as a military machine. Where, then, are their resources against the great day of battle which is at hand ? Do they lie in the broad sword of WELLINGTON—the fists of WINCHILSEA —the craft of LYNDHuRsT—the bigotry of CUM BERLAND—the thunder of the " leading Journal of Europe"—or the prayers of the Episcopal Bench ? Will NEWCASTLE summon his vassals, place himself at their head, and lay siege to the House of Com mons ? Will KENYON blockade Downing-street with town-clerks, and compel Ministers to surrender at discretion ? Will SEGRAVE, nobly disdainful of the constable's staff, charge at the head of his cavalry of fox-hunters, and put to rout the entire po pulation of three kingdoms ? or more modestly content himself—for SEGRA VE is the most mo dest of Peers—with merely making prisoners the Ministerialists, who have announced a great meeting for Monday ? Possibly so, for there is no absurdity, however glaring, of which their Lordships are inca pable ; nevertheless, let them play what game they please, put forth what parade of power they please, still they cannot but be vanquished in the collision which they have so madly provoked. It is no or dinary energy that the people and their representatives are now preparing to display. They do not look on the approaching contest as a mere skirmish, to be forgotten when its hour is past ; hut as a deadly battle, on the most comprehensive scale, whose issue is to decide whether the democratic or aristocratic principle is henceforth to be in the ascendant. Hence they are all energy—all confidence, acting as one man, and inspired with one spirit ; while their enemies, on the contrary, as may be seen by last night's debate, are weakened by dissensions among themselves ; some are desirous of a collision, others are anxious to avoid it, while all, even the most san guine, look as chop-fallen and disconsolate as a hungry poet at a cook-shop window. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday. They are filled with reports of the debates in the Chamber of Deputies on the law for abolishing the liberty of the Press. The intelligence from Spain is not important. The Northern Provinces are resolved upon the establishment of a Federal Government, similar to the Swiss Re public. The following are extracts : PARIS, AUG. 27.—The arrival of the Foreign Legion at Tarragona is related in the following terms in the Eclaireur de la Mediterranee:— " TARRAGONA, Au°. 18.—The Foreign Legionhas at length arrived here. The French squadron which brought it sailed from Palma on the 14th, and arrived in our roads on the 16th. The people immediately went out in boats, and rowed round the French ships, shouting Liberty for ever.' Early the next morning the landing of the troops, baggage, and horses begun, and was effected with pe r f ec t or d er . " t noon the troops set out on their march, preceded by a baud, which played the air of .Riego, to which the Spaniards THE StN, LOVDON, SAITADAV*, AUGCST 2J, 1835 answered by repeated huzzas. On reaching the gates'of the city, the Legion was stopped by the ' Who goes there?' of the sentinel. Spain ; the Foreign Legion 1' replied the com mander of the corps; which immediately entered the city amidst the warmest acclamations. "In the evening all these troops were in barracks. But few Spaniards were seen at the theatre. When the pit heard the tunes of Reigo and the Marseillaise played by the orches tra,' several persons joined in the latter, and sung some couplets between the acts. " I do not exactly know whether the presence of the French is disliked here, as some persons pretend ; but it is certain that the Naval Officers appeared to feel some apprehensions. In the evening they took the precaution of uniting to go in a body to the quay, where the boats waited for them. " The squadron is just getting under sail. It is going to the bay of Rosas. " The Foreign Legion is to leave us in a week. not yet know its destination." Wo do We have the following from Bayonne : " We learn from a letter, which is the more worthy of con fidence because it contains precise details and dates, that the auxiliary Portuguese troops entered the Spanish territory on the 10th of August. The Governor of Zamora went on the 9th to meet them. These troops are composed of twelve battalions of infantry, 1,000 cavalry, and three brigades of artillery."— Constitutional—Messager, Aug. 27.

The following Articles embody the substance of the Address from the Junta of Barcelona to the QUEEN REGENT of Spain. Annexed is the answer of the Spanish Government :- 1. That in case the Queen does not confirm the appoint ment of the present acting Captain-General, and other of• Seers lately filled up by the Junta, she will nominate persons of known liberal opinions, enjoying the confidence of the people. "2. That an order may immediately be given to those deputies in the different districts, which deputies are to meet to take into consideration the state of the province. "3. That the University, which is at the small town of Cervera (about 75 miles from Barcelona, on the road to Za ragossa), may b e remove d to t h e c i ty of Barcelona." The reply arrived here on Sunday night ; it is as follows : " To Senor Don Pedro Maria de Pastors, Mareschal de Campo. " I have laid before her Majesty the Queen Regent your letter of the 7th inst. and the address which accompanies it. " Her Majesty, ever since she has taken the reins of Go vernment of these kingdoms, has not ceased to study its hap piness, adopting such measures as have appeared best calcu lated to bury in oblivion past disagreements, to introduce peace and union in families, and to lay a solid foundation for future national prosperity. " Her Majesty will take the requests into consideration and will order you, the city of Barcelona, and the rich and indus trious Cataluna, to be informed of her decision, which decision will be prompted by a strong desire for the real good of the province, and for the preservation of the rights and privileges of its loyal, true, and labourious inhabitants. "EL CONDE DE TORENO " San Ildefonso, 11 de Agosto." PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night, the Prisoners' Counsel Bill and the Offences against the Person Bill were put off till next Session. The Capital Punishments Bill, which takes away the punishment of death for the offence of stealing from a letter, and for sacrilege, was ordered to be read a second time this day. On the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the Great Western Railway Bill was read a third time, and passed ; as was also the Tonnage Admeasurement Bill. The Colonial' Passengers' Bill went through Committee ; and the Islington Market Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day. The Municipal Corporations Bill was read a third time, and the question agreed to, that a Message should be sent to the Commons, informing them that the Lords had passed the Bill with amendments, to which their concurrence was requested. It will be seen that Lord WINCHILSEA moved his amendment (which was negatived), that the Bill be rejected. On the constitution of the Church of Scotland Commission there was an extended debate, which we have not room to notice. Lord MELBOURNE'S speech, however, ought not to be passed by; it affords a triumphant answer to those who cast censure upon the legality and the composition of the Commission. In the COMMONS' several petitions were presented, praying the House to resist the Lords' encroachment, and mutilation of the Municipal Corporations' Bill. Some conversation on them arose, in which the Hon. Member for Ludlow figured with an amusing prominency. On the presentation of a peti tion from certain publicans, the CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated that the clause in the Wine and Spirit Licences Bill, granting power to the proprietors of theatres to deal in these commodities, would be postponed. Dr. NICHOLLS' mo tion for the commitment of a witness, who had prevaricated in his evidence before the Committee on General DARLING'S case, was agreed to after some general argument between Sir H. HARDINGE and Mr. O'CONNELL. The Report on Scotch Corporations was ordered to be printed. Some conversation succeeded on our _Commercial relations with Foreign States, in the course of which Mr. P. TisoMsoN said that " it was the determination of the British Government to retaliate upon France in every instance in which the French Govern ment imposed a higher duty upon any article imported from Great Britain than upon the same article imported from other countries." The CHANCELLOR of the . EXCHEQUER intimated th;zt a settlement of the Danish Claims was under considera tion. On the withdrawal of Mr. THORNELEY'S motion respect ing the riots at the last Wolverhampton election, Lord JoHN RUSSELL repeated the opinion he had formerly given. The Militia Estimates were agreed to. The Slave Trade ( Sardinia and Denmark) Bills were passed, and Oaths' Abo lition Bill went through Committee. On the motion that the Stamp .and Assessed Taxes Bill be reported, Mr. HUME suggested a reduction to Id. in the duty on Newspapers, and that the 360,0001. out of the million voted for the Irish Church Establishment, the sum now at the disposal of the House, owing to the Lords' rejection of the Irish Church Bill, would supply any deficiency of revenue that might be consequent on a reduction so much desiderated by the pub lic. The Shannon Navigation Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-day ; and the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Corporation Reform Bill, with the Amendments made in the House of Lords was brought up, ordered to be printed, and taken into consideration on Monday. The ATTORNEY-GENE RAL'S motion for a Committee was agreed to, the object of which is to search for the two Bills that were carried up to the Lords last June—from that time to the preseut nothing has been heard of them. The Bill for compensating Mr. BUCKINGHAM was withdrawn till next Session. Strong ob jections against its principle were expressed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THIS DAY, SATURDAY, Auo. 29. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY sat as Speaker soon after 12 o'clock. The Glass Duty Reduction Bill went through a Committee with out amendment.—Report to be received on Monday. The Capital Punishment Abolition Bill, in cases of stealing let ters and sacrilege, was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Monday. Mr. STANLEY and others from the Commons, brought up the Sardinia and Denmark Slave Trade Convention Bill, the Registra tion of Voters (Ireland) Bill, and a Bill for enabling Grand Juries in Ireland to raise money by presentment for building piers and quays. _ _ _ ISLINGTON MARKET BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed on the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY. The House waited for the return of the Bill from the Commons for some time, but as there was some difficulty in the way it was adjourned at half-past one till Monday at 11 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. • SUPPLY. Mr. BARING brought up the Report of the Committee 01 Supply, which was agreed to. _ OATH ABOLITION BILL. Mr. BARING brought up the Report of the Committee upon this Bill. SHANNON NAVIGATION. On the motion of Mr. BARING the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the Shannon Navigation Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. On the first clause being read, Mr. POTTER did not know whether the Right Hon. Gentle man, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was aware of the objections urged against the Bill by the Hon. Member for Bridport. The Hon. Member complained that in a Bill which merely appointed Commissioners to prepare estimates for the improvement of the na vigation of this river, a provision should be introduced to raise one half the amount which might be required for the work. He (Mr. Potter) would suggest that the money should be raised by assess ment on the various counties in Ireland connected with the Shannon. Mr. LYNCH contended that the security for the repayment of the loan was the best that could be given. Mr. PRYME agreed with the Hon. Member for Wigan in the objections stated by him, and he could not tell why a clause em powering the House to grant a loan should have been thought ne cessary at that early stage. He would ask to what public works in England had such donations been given? He questioned whether the security was sufficient, and in the present case only half the loan was to be repaid. He thought when the Report of the sur veyors was before the House would be quite time enough to deter mine whether there should be a grant to the extent of a moiety. He did not object to grants being made for the improvement of Ire land, but let equal justice be done to England. He would suggest that all that part of the preamble should be omitted, and leave it to Parliament to make the grant hereafter if they thought proper. Mr. WALLACE said there had been a sum of money voted to Portpatrick harbour which might very well be dispensed with, and given to the deepening of the Shannon, or any other useful national purpose. Laying it out at Portpatrick was, in plain English, throw ing it into the sea-.-it was throwing away good money after bad ; and he would therefore move, on bringing up the appropriation clause, that no more money be expended on Portpatrick. Mr. WARBURTON did not object to the propriety of making the grant, but the present Bill was merely f or th e purpose o f ap pointing Commissioners to obtain an estimate of the expense, and the introduction of such a clause in it was premature. He put it to the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he could cite any precedent for such a proceeding ? It was pledging the House to advance the sum necessary for carrying on these works, whatever that sum might be. Was the House to be pledged to do so, without obtaining the estimate of the surveyors ? The Bill would not, he contended, bind the Members of any future Parlia ment. There were various conditions necessary to be entered into with the proprietors, and the Government could make a better bargain if the grant was not previously made. The Hon. Member concluded, by moving the omission of that part of the clause which authorised the grant. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would state the grounds on which this preamble was framed, in order most particu larly to meet the objections of the Noble Member for Bridport, to whose authority on these subjects he was disposed, both in and out of the House, to pay the most respectful attention. This Bill was introduced in consequence of several repeated inquiries by Com mittees of that House, but the Bill did not carry out to their full effect the recommendations of those Committees. He did not pro pose to the House to do this, and if it had been propbsed by others he would not have approved of it. The recommendation of the Committee was, that there should be a vote of public money for this purpose absolutely pledging the House, not only to the principle, but to a vote of public money for the adoption of the principle, be fore they had a satisfactory plan and estimates ; and above all, be fore arrangements were made with the parties locally interested, in order to protect the public against undue, excessive, or extortionate claims, which would be a bar to the undertaking altogether. It was recommended by the Committee that the money should be ad vanced ; but to this recommendation he entirely dissented. He would not ask the House to advance one single farthing, except for the expenses that must be incurred by reason of the inquiry. The Bill not pledge the House to the advance of any money ; all it pledged the douse to was, that in the event of there being a satisfac tory plan and estimates, and in the absence of all unreasonable local demands, the money should be hereafter advanced. The question was, whether the Crown, in its individual capacity, being a party to the undertaking which could not be effected without the inter- , position of th e H ouse and the Crown h av i ng no r i g ht t o impose ' the onus upon individuals who had neither the means nor the power to execute the work, whether that House was disposed to adopt the principle of the Bill, by saying that if the parties locally interested would provide one-half of the expense, and a proper plan were laid before Parliament, they would be disposed to give the other half. His Hon. Colleague said that there had been no similar cases. He could assure him that there had been innume - rable such cases. There was the case of the river Barrow, and of the Cam ; but the present was a special case. A very considerable portion of the navigation of the river Shannon belonged to the Crown, and they were annually voting sums of money for the im perfect maintenance of the navigation. Mr. PRYME—How did it belong to the Crown ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It was vested in the Crown by the laws of the land. There were, as he said before, several precedents--he would not speak of the Caledonian Canal, which he believed was a failure, but there was the Highland Roads and Bridges, the interposition of Parliament in which case, according to Mr. Telford, was the means of advancing Scotland a hundred years in civilization. There was also the Holyhead road, the Menai Bridge, and the Plymouth Breakwater, and various other cases in which that House had interposed. They could not expect that the local parties would submit to a proposi tion for binding their county rates for the repayment of this money, unless that House pledged itself to the principle, and to advance the money if a good case were made out. On these grounds he prayed the House to allow the Bill to remain in its present state. He had done his duty in proposing the Bill—he had done his duty by the Committee and by the public ; and he hoped the House would enable him to treat with the parties in Ireland, with whom he could treat effectively, if they saw that House disposed to entertain a fa vourable view of the present case. Mr. C. FERGUSON was of opinion, that the great object of this Bill could not be carried into effect if the Amendment should be agreed to. WARBURTON explained. Mr. D. ROCHE was sure the Chancellor of the Exchequer had too much respect for the public purse to recommend this measure, if he was not convinced that it would be of great benefit to the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained. Mr. PRYME had not denied the existence of precedents, and his doubt was not removed, for the Right Honourable Gen tleman had not produced one. It was true he had mentioned the Holyhead Road Bill, but that was as much an Irish work as an English one. He had also mentioned the Plymouth Breakwater, which indeed was a naval work, and as much a work of Wales or Scotland as the building of any ship of the line. Sir E. CODRINGTON declared that he should support the clause. Dr. BOWRING thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made out a strong case in favour of the Bill being allowed to go on. He, however, thought the people of Scotland generally did not think the communication with that country by means of Portpatrick the best that could be devised. Dlr. C. FERGUSON believed that the generality of his consti tuents were satisfied with the communication by way of Portpatrick. Mr. O'BRIEN supported the Bill. Sir F. TRENCH supported the Bill, observing that at the pre sent moment he believed there were no less than two millions of persons on the banks of the Shannon who had never seen a suit of new clothes, such was the distress they were in. —(A laugh.) Mr. O'CONNELL. thought the Hon. and Gallant Member la boured under a mistake. They might see the police and the sol diers in new clothes —(A laugh)—they might also see the Hon. and Gallant Member not only in new clothes, but in the first fashion. He challenged the Hon. Member for Cambridge to state what in terest the people of Ireland had ever derived from their connection with England. Their debt had been increased in consequence, and up to the commencement of the existence of the present Adminis tration he defied Hon. Members to show any act that had been done for the good of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Ireland was perhaps the most fertile country in the world, and yet what was the general state of the inhabitants ? The greatest misery owing to bad laws. The present Ministry were anxious to do all they could to alleviate the distresses of that unhappy Country, but what was the use of that when a sort of stop-gap existed elsewhere. If he was told, where would you find a market for your provisions, if it was not for England ?—(Cheers.) He could say, was it not for Irelan4 what would become of half the manufactures of Manchester and other great towns. —( Cheers. ) The people of Ireland were a patient people, and he wished his voice was loud enough to be heard elsewhere, to beg that their patience might be considered, and their grievances redressed. He could not but lament that at the present period of the Session they were discussing the phrase in a clause they were now doing. The policy of misrule which had so long obtained would be, he trusted, shortly p u t an en d to, and justice at length d one to Ireland. Mr. EWART most warmly supported the Bill. He thought the arguments of the Hon. Member for Cambridge were quite in applicable to the present case, and he trusted, with his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for Dublin, that a better feeling would i be introduced towards Ireland in another Vace. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection to introduce the words suggested by the Hon. Member opposite, which he hoped would meet every objection.---( Hear. ) Sir F. TRENCH complimented the Hon.jand Learned Member for Dublin upon the witless joke which he had just perpetrated, but after all the Hon. and Learned Member agreed with him that these people were almost in a state of nature. He complained of the Noble Lord (Morpeth) having requested the Hon. and Learned Member not to support the Bill as it would ensure its rejection in another place.—( Hear.) Lord DIORPETH had been induced to make that observation in consequence of a very grave debate in another place, which had reached him through the ordinary channels.—( Hear. ) Mr. SHARDIAN CRAWFORD cordially supported the Bill, which, he contended, would be productive of very great benefit to Ireland. Mr. ROCHE also supported the Bill. Mr. RUTHVEN trusted the Bill would pass. Large sums of public money had been expended upon harbours in Scotland, but it had been all thrown away ; and now an objection should be made to the present grant, which would be productive of such important benefit. SirF. TRENCH was proceeding to make some observationsupon the speech of a Noble Lord (Brougham) elsewhere, when he was interrupted by loud cries of " Ord er , an d Chair. " Mr. BERNAL put it to the Hon. Member whether it would not be better to omit all allusion to what took place elsewhere. Sir F. TRENCH would bow to the suggestion of the Chairman, but lie was sorry others (looking at the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin) did not refrain from personalities. Lord MORPETH thought the Hon. and Gallant Member had . SIIIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

His 'Hon. and Leartzed Friend had merely said that the non. and Gallant Member wore nett clothes, and the Hon. and Gallant Member had retorted with the epithet of witless.--(Laughter.) All the amendments having passed, the Chairman left the Chair, and reported to the Speaker that the House had agreed to the Ohl amendments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed the second reading of the Customs Duties Bill, for the purpose of post poning it. Mr. BERNAL brought up the Report of the Committee on the Parochial Workhouses Bill. A Message from the Lords brought up several private Bills and amendments. ISLINGTON MARKET BILL. Mr. WILKS begged to ask whether the Lords had agreed to the amendments on the Islington Market Bill ? Dr. BOWRING—There they are. • The SPEAKER observed that the amendments had been sub mitted to him according to the customary forms of the House, but he should be very sorry to make himself responsible for any amend ments brought down from the Lords, and so submitted to him.— ( Hear, and laughter. ) Mr. WILKS supposed he was to understand that all the parties interested in the Bill were satisfied. STAMPS AND ASSESSED TAXES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved the third reading of the Stamps and Assessed Taxes Bill, Mr. PRYME proposed the introduction of a clause for reducing to 10s. the duty on such awards as do not direct the payment of any sum exceeding 201., or do not affect any interest in lands, tene ments, hereditaments, except demises whereof a term not exceeding the term of three years from the date of the award remains un expired. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER recommended the Hon. Member to withdraw his clause for the present session. —(Hear, hear.) He would have an opportunity of raising the question nexesession.—(A laugh.) Mr. PRYME did not expect it would be granted this session, and would therefore withdraw it till the next session. He hoped that in the mean time the subject would be attended to. Mr. CHALMERS also withdrew his amendment. The Bill was then read a third time. IRISH TITHES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would occupy the House for a few minutes in asking for leave to introduce a very important Bill. He must in the first instance justify himself for introducing the Bill at this late period of the Session, so very late that without direct necessity he would not introduce it, so rong as there was a chance, or the possibility of a hope, that the great question, which had occupied so much of the attention of that House during the present Session respecting the Irish Church, was likely to be settled by a satisfactory act of legistation. The Bill he was about to ask for leave to introduce, was not necessary, but now he understood from the votes of the other House that no steps were taken upon that Bill, and that it was abandoned in fact by his Majesty's Government upon the grounds that it would not be satisfactory to the peeple, or to that House, in its present stage, for it appeared by inspecting the minutes of the House of Lords, that it did not fill up the outline, or con form to the principle of those resolutions that had been acquiesced in by this House; and the consequence was, that his Majesty's Government would be acting inconsistently with their declarations, if they acted upon this Bill in its altered state.—(Hear.) It was not the intention of Government to proceed further with this measure, nor were any steps taken, by any other Member of Parliament in the other House, to advance it.—(Hear, hear.) Such was the present position of the great question of the Irish Church.—(Cheers.) It was not his intention to go at present into that question, but he wished merely to call the attention of the House and the public to the position in which the Govern ment would be placed unless a Bill like the one he was about to introduce was accepted and made the law of the land.—( Cheers. ) The House had heard during the discussion of the Bill in very many places, the condition, the lamentable condition in which the Clergy of Ireland would be placed, if they were not in receipt of their incomes.—( Cheers. ) Whether that condition would be im proved by what had occurred in another place, he would leave to futurity to state.—(Hear. hear, hear, and great' cheering. ) The House was bound in doing justice to the people of Ireland, to afford also protection to tlse Clergy of the Established Church. —( Cheers.) Both those objects had failed, for by the law, as it at present existed, it would be imperative on the Government to put in suit all the claims of the Crown for the instalments of the one million advanced to the Irish Clergy. T ( Hear, hear, and cheering.) The Government would be compelled to proceed against them even if they had received nothing, and had no means of payment.—( Cheers.) Now, he could not undertake, as a Mi nister of the Crown, to suspend the written law of the land, and he should, therefore, be compelled to enforce those claims, unless the present Bill met with the sanction of the House.—(Cheers.) He thought the House would agree with him in thinking that that would be most unjust and oppressive--(Loud cheers) — in those cases in which it could be made to appear the clergy had not received it, or was amenable to pay.—( Cheers.) The object of the Bill was not to remit a single farthing, but to give to the 'Government an authority upon receiving an application from the clergy in cases where it was proved they were not in a condition to pay, to suspend the claim for the instalment until Parliament reas sembled. He, by the present Bill, asked from the House its legisla tive authority, to give the .Government power to withhold legal proceedings against such personk as it should be proved were inca pable to pay, taking the term of the Bill io be the sth of April, and proposing that the right should revive again in August for the Crown to proceed. By the adoption of that course he should be enabled to come again to Parliament if nesessary, and ask for further time. He trusted that the House would think the present proposition a just one, and perfectly consistent with the Reso solutions that had passed that House, from one iota of which he was not disposed to retract. (Loud cheering.) In the settlement of the question they had nothing personal—they had no motive but a strong desire to maintain the Church. The proposition made by the Government, and accepted by the House of Commons, was, he trusted, generally thought to be the best answer to those false charges which had been lavished upon them of their indifference and hostility to the rights and well-being of the Clergy. It was tor the, protection of the Clergy, that the Government had felt it their duty to pro pose that a Bill should be brought in for the relief of the Tithe owners in Ireland. After a few words from Mr. lirTitvEN, Mr. POTTER, and Mr. WILES, in support of the proposition, leave was given, and the Bill was brought in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. On the motion of Mr. WILKS, the Lords Amendments to the Islington Market Bill were agreed to. . . _ . The Lords Amendments Bill to the Instrument of Sasine (Scotland) Bill were agreed to. Mr. ENV APT moved the appointment of a Committee to search the Lords' Journals, for the purpose of ascertaining what had be• come of the Prisoners' Counsel and Capital Punishment Bill.— Ordered. Lord MORPETII presented petitions from Wilsdale, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, against drunkenness; from Dumfries, for the Reform of the Irish Church ; from Oughavale, county of Mayo, for an increase in the Irish representation; from the Over seers of the Poor of Sheffield, for the abolition of imprisonment for debt : from the Grand Jury of Dublin, for a new valuation ; and two petitions from Yorkshire, in favour of the Dorchester Unionists. POOR LAWS. Mr. CODRlNGTONpresenteda petition from certain land owners and rate-payers of parishes in Gloucestershire, complain ing of union by the Poor-law Commissioners with the city parishes. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. CODRINGTON presented a petition from the borough of Stafford, complaining of one House of the Legislature attempting to control the other. Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice, that on Monday he should present a petition from Belfast, co m pl a i n i n g of th e p e titi oners having been deprived of their franchise by the decision of the assessor. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition from Marsden, Yorkshire, praying the House to adhere to the principle of the Mu nicipal Corporation Bill. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from 3,500 inhabitants of (as we understood) Blackburn, in favour of the Municipal Corpo ration Bill. Petitions were also presented by Mr. Blamire from Whitehaven, against the alterations in the Reform Bill ; by Mr. R. Stewart, from Deptford, to the same effect . ; by Sir J. Ashley, from Norfolk, praying for an alteration of the Poor Laws and for the removal of duties on Spirit Licenses ; by Mr. Viroodhouse from the same county, complaining of agricultural dis tress ; by Mr. lluthven, from certain paper manufacturers of Dub lin, praying for the removal of all restrictions upon the progress of knowledge. Colonel SIBTHOHP wished to know when certain returns, which he had moved for, respecting official salaries, would be ready, as he was determined to proceed with his motion for the re duction of those salaries. Mr. F. BARING said that the returns would take some time to complete, but every exertion should be made to make them up next week. Mr. SANDERSON presented a petition from the clergy, gen try, bankers, and traders of the city of Colchester, praying the House to maintain and preserve to each separate branch of the le gislature its own coequal and independent powers, &c. Sir J. R. REID presented one from Dovor to the same effect. On the motion of Mr. JACKSON the House adjourned at a Quarter before Three o'clock. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Consol Market, towards the close of yesterday's business, left off very buoyant, owing to a prevailing opinion that both Houses of Parliament would come to some amicable arrangement, but at present this does not prove to be the case. Consols which left off yesterday at 89a a for money, and 891, 90 for the account, opened this morning at the above prices, with little or nothing doing. Omnium closed at premium, remain the same; Ex chequer Bills, 18 to 20; India Bonds, 4 to ti; Bank Stock, 214 to 215 ; India, 253 to 254. In the Foreign Market the following are the quotations of this morning :—.Spanish Bonds are the same as they left off, 40i 1 ; Spanish Scrip the same, 19 18 discount ; Portuguese, 851 6i ; Three per Cents., 55i ; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 53 1 1 Our arrivals this morning are very few—one French mail and one Hamburgh. Yesterday there was an arrival from the Cape of Good Hope of the 22d of May (old date), with letters from /itihis. The express from Paris does not bring any news of eonsequenct! from the contending armies in Spain, with the exception, as we stated yesterday, of the landi ng o f th e F renc h t roo p s f rom Algiers, at Tarragona, which has come just in time to put down the revolu tionary movements. It also appears that the Carlists in the North of Spain arc assembling all their forces in the neighbourhood of Biscay, fearing a combined movement of the English and Spanish troops in their rear, which, we have no doubt, will soon take place, if they do not sheek shelter again in the mountains. HALF-PAST ONE. To the present time we are without any further continental in formation, reports, or speculations. In the British Funds Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 89a 4 for Money, and 891 90 for the Account. Omnium, 2 4 premium ; Exchequer Bills higher, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 4 6 ; Bank Stock, 214 215. In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds have receded from 41* to 40, at present 40i owing to a sale of 50,000 of the above Secu rities ; Spanish Scrip 194 discount ; Portuguese, 851 86i ; Three per Cents., 55b ; Columbian, 304 314-; Mexican, 3 5 36; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents.,s3A ; Five per Cents., 1014 -7 / . TREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 898 90. We perceive that the important and extensive bo rough of the Tower Hamlets intends meeting on Monday next on Stepney-green, to address the King upon the alarming con sequences resulting from the infatuated conduct of the House of Lords, in mutilating the Corporation Reform. Bill ; and to petition the House of Commons to exercise its great constitu tional powers in securing the people's just rights. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. PUBLIC MEETING IN CARLISLE, TO PETITION TIIE COMMONS TO REJECT TEE CORPORATIOS tILL: (Abridged from the Carlisle Journal received this day.) On Monday last one of the largest public meetings ever bela in Carlisle, took place in the Coffee-house Assembly Room, agreeably to a requisition signed by nearly 200 of the otl respectable inhabitants of the place, for the purpose of •pet.','; tioning the House of Commons -to reject the Corporation 1310 as altered by the House of Lords. Upon the motion of Mr. John Blamire, seconded by gr . Joseph Mahon, of Scotch -street, JOHN DIXON, Esq. of Knells, was called to the chair. JOHN DIXON, Esq., then rose, and was received with general cheering. He 'said :—Friends and fellow-citizens, —l nee not go into the question of the Corporation Bill as it now stands. I think the Bill, passed by the House of Commons, was reasonable and sensible, and in every way calculated to meet our wishes and feelings 2 • and if the House of Lords had acted towards it in the way I had expected they would base acted, we should not have had occasion to meet here to-night. I expected they would have shown some regard to the feelings and wishes of the people, and have passed the Bill as sent aP by the House of Commons. Instead, however, of acting in this manner, they have ruined it—they have torn it into pieces; They might as well have thrown it out altogether.—(M uci ! cheering, and cries of, "It is an insult as it stands.") 1 think it is utterly unfit for our acceptance—(Much cbeering),, —since the alterations made in it by the Lords. That 01 dividing us into classes is most objectionable.—( Cheers.) We have had quite enough of that.—(Much cheering in all part s of the room.) The people of Carlisle are perfectly qualified to judge who are fit to compose their town-council—they are fully competent to form such an opi.nion, without the assist ance of their Lords.—(Cheers, and crie., of Bravo !") JOHN CONNELL, Esq., banker, of Fishec-street, moved the following Resolution That the Bill for the regulation of the Municipal Corporations of England and Wales, as passed by the House of Ce.mninns , wag founded upon such broad principles of justice and equity, and v so well calculated to put an end to that system of self-election a l) e misrule, and of those party strifes and contentions which have a 9 n so much injury to society, and of which the people at large have ?° long complained, that it was almost universally hailed as a gift worthy the acceptance of a free and enlightened people. I"'" therefore, with feelings of indignation, which they will not attemp t to describe, that this meeting has witnessed the reception given t° that Bill by the House of Peers—the extensive alterations they have made in it, by which all its most valuable principles been destroyed, and the determined hostility shown by a m ajoritY of that branch of the Legislature to the rights and privileges of the Bill." Mr. JOHN BLAMIRE (a freeman) seconded the Resolution, The Resolution was then put in the affirmative bythe Chair' man, and, as far as it was possible to judge, every-h&nd wa l held up for it. When the Chairman asked, "On the ant trary," he looked in vain for a dissentient, which caused nIllc" laughter and several jocular cries. PETER DIxoN, Esq., then stepped forward amidst much all plause. He said—We ask for nothing but our rights, whi ch have been unfairly withheld from us.—( Cheering.) Our op ponents talk about hardship ! Why the hardship is all ono n A e side—it is all on our side.—(Cheers and laughter.) A n " when we ask to have those rights given us, or to share in them, they begin to abuse and revile us, and sneer at us a s tt set of Radicals.—(Much cheering.) They who are so cane' deserve a better name than one of reproach.—( Great cheer ing.) That word Radical has long been used as a term of re proach ; but it is fast coming into better favour.—(Cheers -) Events are rapidly proving that those who hitherto have bee n reproached as Radicals, were nearest right, after Loud cheers.) Mr. Dixon then read the following resolution " That the Bill, as altered by the House of Lords, is now whonY unworthy the acceptance of the people of this country, and ought to be at once rejected; and that a Petition be immediately for' warded to the House of Commons, praying the House not to ACM ' the Bill as altered by the Peers." As for the Bill as it now stands, it is a complete wreck ; has been so mutilated by the Peers, it is not now worth our acceptance.—( Cheers, and a cry of " Put away the Pee rs altogether," applause.) Well, we will talk about that aft' wards. Mr. D. sat down amid much applause. Mr. Ross came forward to move the next resolution " That the Petition now passed be entrusted to Mr. Marsn'',.. and Mr. Howard for presentation; and that those gentlemen Ps' requested, as our Representatives, to support its prayer ; to ta press our full and entire approbation of those principles laid doe" by Ministers, and other friends of the populfir cause, in the House of Commons on Friday last, when defending the right of th. e i people's representatives to refuse granting supplies of money unti all grievances be redressed; and, in conjunction with other li beral Members, take such steps as the Constitution authoriies them as guardians of the public purse, for enforcing compliance with the just desires of the people." Mr. ANDREW ELLIOT, solicitor, briefly seconded the re'so' lution. WM. MARSHALL, Esq., M.P., then presented himself, an was received with general cheering, and " one cheer morep,,- which was cordially given. He said, the Lords are now, 1 : appears, determined to exercise their independence. Th e s say they cannot be independent if they are not to be allow ed to refuse to pass Bills sent up by the Commons, if they c hoose' Their Lordships forget that it is impossible both Houses Clf be totally independent of each other.—( Much cheering.) it be the fixed opinion of the one House, upon any . particm , " subject, that it is right, and the equally settled opinion of tk e other House that it is wrong, they cannot b o th carry out the ir opinions—one of them must necessarily give way.—(Cheer s ' ) Have we never before found the Lords diff er with 01 . ,," Commons in this manner ?—( Cheers.) We have. We 0 " them differ with the Commons in the case of the Refer ° Bill ; but what was the result ? Why, the Bill passed the next year.--( Cheering.) They might have taken an exame from that occasion in acting upon the present Bill, and ho, e learnt that it is not in the power of the Lords, nor of the Kifb along with them, to withstand the just demands of the peoPi c " --(Much cheering.) They might have been satisfied with the lesson they then received : but I am afraid their Lordships will be difficult to teach.—(Great laughter.) I doubt they are too old to learn.—(Laughter and cheers.) They have 6° _, long enjoyed irresponsible power, and hve so long go vern?! Englishmen, that they cannot believe that that power can F; taken away from them, except for a short time. We 1 0/ steadily sought to obtain, by fair and legal means, the rotors.' tion of our just rights, hich is the object of the Bill for th e Reform of the Municipal Corporations proposed this year be a liberal Ministry, and, carried by a large majority of th t , people's Representatives in the Commons, and which rig h ,,, we will have.—(Tremendous cheering from all parts of t" room, amid which Mr. Marshall resumed his seat.) W. JAMES, Esq., of Barrock Lodge (formerly Member 0; this city) next stepped forward, and was received with long an, loud cheering. The Lords know nothing`of the great hr i k of the people ; they are entirely ignorant both of their physi c and mental condition ; they never mix with the people ; their. notions are aristocratic and oligarchical ; they do of , know the fact that there is not a tradesman or hardly ing mechanic in any of our towns that does not possess r much sound natural sense, and as high a degree of inte,lll - as any of their " Order "—(lmmense cheering)' - and a monstrous deal more than the Tory majority, and ; good deal more honesty into the bargain.—(Cheers.) certainly had hoped that Municipal Reform would have I °` t lowed Parliamentary Reform before this time. I did no a %orb., give the Lords credit for acting so mad a part, which seei l li tome like cutting their own throats, and putting another ealer into their coffin.—( Immense cheering.) But you will do in the justice to recollect, that I always told you that the UPP, e y House, as it is called, stood quite as much in need of Re°` - as the Lower. I, for one, never had any faith in, or dePeri dence on, hereditary wisdom.--( Cheers.) I am, t h e refor e! not much surprised at the course which affair& have take n. 7 , regards this Bill ; but I regret the delay that has taken Or o i because sure I am that the people at large are possesse u that degree of intelligence and character, and have that dee, interest in good and cheap government, that they may at °/1 :,, be entrusted with perfect safety with the conduct and ment of their own affairs, without any limitations or reN tions whatsoever.--( Cheers.) JAMES HEYSHAM, Esq., briefly seconded the resoloti°r ° which was as follows : " That the cordial thanks of this meeting are due, and are he' 4l g o tendered, to Lord Melbourne and his Colleagues in office, for t noble stand they have made in the face of a virulent and faot i ft: opposition, in defence of the rights of the people ; and that meeting, in calling upon Ministers to continue firm in their re' sistance to the attempts of a majority of the House of Peers to petuate the system of misrule under which the country has so 7r groaned, assures them of its most strenuous support in whate i c t measures they may deem necessary for carrying into complete off e rto those liberal and enlightened principles on whi c h th e y have hitl' e , o conducted the Government, and which are so ably developed in A% two great Bills of Reform now pending in the House of Lords, f ue the regulation of the Municipal Corporations and the Reform of Irish Church." A e d It was then put by the Chair to the meeting, and ear,'" without a dissentient voice, amidst loud and general cheer ,l3 :, A voice in the crowd—Three cheers for the Ministry.
