He objected in the first place to the complete transfer of this duty, (if duty it could be called) to provide for the maintenance of Cler gymen of the Church of England in the Colonies, from the Government of this country to the care of the society. The first abuse be meant to bring forward was, the taking of this money from England by taxes imposed upon the people; the second, that o f disposing of the money by pluralities, and the third, that no person whatever we, known to the House as the re sponsible person for the disposal of these funds.— He understood that a Rev.

The gentleman re presented that it would be impossible he could ever resume his functions. lie (Earl Bathurst) then felt it his duty to communicate his opinion to Dr. Stanser, and represented to him the necessity of vacating his situation. The Rev. Prelate stated to him (Earl B.) that he was ready to retire, but that he should literally have nothing to subsist upo n . (The Noble Earl then entered into same details explana tory of the steps he had taken for the purpose of pro curing some pecuniary assistance for the Bishop, but from the low tone in which the Noble Lord spoke we could not catch his observations.)

Prelate to stay in this country and starve , --(Cheers.)—He (Earl Bathurst) hoped that their Lordships would concur with him that there was no Warne imputable to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts, and that the gentleman on whose behalf the petition had been presented had altogether failed in making out any case in which their Lordships could institute an inquiry. ordere SOCIETY of BRITISH ARTISTS.—The Fifth Exhibition of the Works of Living British Artists, WILL OPEN to the Public on MONDAY Morning next, the 24th instant, at Eight o'Clock.

Lord KING asked the Right Rev. Prelate, whether he knew that the Rector of St. Paul's, in the parish of Hali fax, had been appointed SA missionary, with a salary of 2001. a year. The Bishop of LONDON replied, we understood, in the negative. Lord KING said, that that made good his charge, which was, that public money was granted, and no one was re sponsible for its distribution. He had been told, the other day, by the Noble Earl opposite, that one-seventh of the lauds had been appropriated to the maintenance of the church in the colonies, but that it was perfectly unavaila ble because it produced nothing. Now he wished to know if the Government meant to favour the church by taking upon themselves the whole burden of these lands in the mean time, and then to give them back when they were of value. If the church was provided for i❑ another way, they had no claim to those lands a grant which impeded the improvement of the colony, because the lands being church property could not be let as other lands were.— With respect to the building of new churches, their Lord ships must not suppose that they were able to vie with those built by Mr. Nash : they were in fact mere logs, sometimes without windows. The way in which they were got up was this,—a person wishing to create a new church goes round, and endeavours to suave the people to build one of those churches, and promises to girt them money, and then, upon a requisition, that person is appoint ed missionary with a salary of 2001. His Lordship con cluded by moving that a committee be appointed to in quire into the expenditure of the public money granted to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in the Bri tish Colonies of North America.

" This is a work of very uncommon merit indeed, in the department to which it belongs. Instead of a mere compila tion, as such publication s genera ll y are, we have here a pm duction of original, and often very . masterly talent. The whole is conceived in a spirit of moderatio n and good sense, exactly such as we like to see sustaining the equanimity and impartiality of historic narrative. Upon the whole, we do not know any work of the same compass which is entitled to compete with that before us, as a useful and in telligent compendium of biography."—Edinburgh Star. (I Among the many cheap and useful publications now issuing from the press, we have scarcely seen one which unites so many excellencies as this Biographical Dictionary. It exhibits a fine specimen of typography, and has a merit which belongs to very few low-priced works.

The LORD CHANCELLOR again took his seat at ten minutes before five o'clock. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY several private Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The Annual Indemnity Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The House went into a Committee on the Bill for Light ing, Cleansing, and Watching certain Towns in Ireland. Mr. Crafer, from the Treasury, brought up accounts of malt, spirits, and beer, pursuant to the order of the House yesterday. Mr. Trundall brought up returns from the Chief Secre tary for Ireland, pursuant to Act of Parliament. Lord GWYDYR presented a petition from the growers of wool in the county of Lincoln, against the importation of foreign wool. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of New Shorehatn, Sussex, praying for a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Noble Lord took this opportunity of expressing his hope that this most respectable body of his Majesty's subjects would spe dilv have this question satisfactorily set at rest. Lord KING presented a petition front the Protestant Dissenters of Whetstone, county of Leicester, for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a peti tion from the Archdeaconry and Clergy of Wilts, against further concessions to the Catholics. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from the Protes tant Dissenters of Kendal, in favour of the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The petition also prayed the repeal of all restricting laws as regarded religion, affecting both Roman Catholics and individuals of the Church of England persuasion. Earl GREY presented a petition from the Roman Ca tholics of England, in favour of the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The petition was signed by the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Shrewsbury, all the Catholic Peers, and a great and respectable body of that persuasion. The Noble Earl presented another petition to the same effect from the Inhabitants of Yelverden. Lord TENTERDEN moved a second reading of his Bills—the one—" an Act to prevent a failure of justice, by reason of variances between records and writings produc ed in evidence in support thereof." The other "an Act for • rendering a written memorandum necessary to the validity of certain promises and engagements." The Noble Lord spoke for about 20 minutes, but in so inaudible r. manner, that we could not catch a single sentence below the Bar. A heavy shower of hail beating against the windows, helped to prevent even the Members themselves, we believe, from hearing: PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL. Lord KING, in rising to bring forward the motion he bad given notice of his intention to submit to the House, wished at the outset to clear in some respect the charac ter of the Bevereril Gentleman, on whose petition the mo tion was founded, from aspersions that had Leen thrown upon it. The Noble Lord understood the Rev. Prelate the other evening to charge Mr. Griffin with being a per son of irritable character, and an individual with whom it was impossible for any man to agree. In opposition to this the Noble Lord held in his hand the copy of a memorial sent to the society in'favour of Mr. Griffin, signed by 54 persons of Bridgetown ; one of them Mr. Chelsea, the justice of peace of that place, and where Mr. Griffin has resided for a considerable time. The ' memorial spoke in the highest terms of 3lr. Griffin, and recommended the Society in removing him from Bridge town to appoint him at a given place where they were sure his instructions would be attended to with the best effect. The memorial was dated in 1826. It was perfectly true that there was much bitter c ontention in their colonies, and which undoubtedly was aggravated by this Society. The greater part of the C o loni es was Peopled by Presbyterians , Baptists, and others, who had no relish whatever for Clergymen of the Church of England. In those parts there was the greatest readi ness to pay their own Ministers without assistance h ow this country, and therefore the manner in which this So ciety had been conducted had increased the contentions ex isting. The Noble Lord thought there would havebeen little objection to this motion for an enquiry into the application for certain grants of money made by Government to this society for the propagation of the Gospel ; but now that he saw the noble Earl opposite, who lately held the Colonial Department, and such a body of Holy Alliance (there were a great many Bishops present) he began to ex • pect it. The Noble Lord's charges were, that the Society Earl BATHURST had on a former occasion expressed his intention of opposing the motion which the Noble Lord had just made, and he saw no reason now to alter his determination. The Noble Lord seemed to think that charging this country with the maintenance of the clergy in North America was a Flew principle, established only 15 years ago, owing to an arrangement which he (Earl Bathurst) had made in 1813. On the contrary, that practice had existed so long as from 1702, and for the last 15 years the grants of money had been considerably in creased, in 1812 the amount granted being 2,600/. The arrangement made for a long time previous to his holding his former office connected with the colonies, was, that the society should pay their minister one half and the Govern ment the other half, amounting generally to 701. their sa lary. In consequence of representations having been made, however, of the necessity of increasing that allowance— the salary of missionaries was raised to 2001. the Govern ment paying 1001. With respect to the churches, it was true that they could not vie in magnificence with the churches in this country, but he denied that they were mere logs, they were such as the people could provide, and were suited to the purposes for which they were built.— In Upper Canada the number of missionaries had been in creased in consequence of the application of the Lieutenant Governor, who stated, that i❑ consequence of the want of Ministers, adventurers coming from the United States oc cupied that place which the Ministers of the Gospel ought to till ; and stating that if on no higher principle than po licy, those who preached the Gospel in his Majesty's do minions in America ought to he the subjects of his Majesty and not of the United States. His Lordship would now state some particulars respecting the gentleman on account of whose petition the motion before the House had ori ginated, He had been a missionary for five or six years, and had, after that period, in accordance with the advice of the Bishop of Nova Scotia, been removed as unfit for his office. That gentleman now called upon their Lordships, in consequence of that removal, to dispossess all the Minis ters in the colony of their remuneration, though their Lordships had heard no complaints from any other person or colony. If their Lordships had heard Mr. Griffin's petitions read, they would have found the statement of the Bishop of Nova Scotia, with respect to his being of an irritable temper, sufficiently borne out. His Lordship stated, that he would read an extract from that petition to their Lordships. The petitioner stated " that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel was deceived by the artful representations of the natives, whom the pe titioner believed to be surpassed in profound cunning by no people in the world." That was, however, mild language, compared with a letter which he had addressed to Mr. Se cretary Huskisson about six or seven weeks ago. Mr. Griffin wrote, that he had very important communications to make relative to the corrupt state of the ecclesiastical and colonial affairs of the British settlements in North America, and particularly with respect to the diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince of Wales's Island, where the autho rities dispensed with the laws and the gospel, as best suited their purpose. The persecutions to which persons of all ranks from the mother country were exposed were most alarming. There was no difference with respect to reli gious persuasions ; the native interests of the colony was the watch-word : Englishnten were stigmatised as aliens and bastards; they were deprived of the privilege and pro tection of the laws of the land, and reduced to the condi tion of outlaws and excommunicated persons ; the perpe trators of outrages against them were promoted. Hear, Old England, and be astonished !—(A laugh.) That was the letter which had been written by a gentleman, for whose inoffensive turn of mind the Noble Baron could answer. The Noble Lord had on a former occasion stated, as an instance of the mismanagement of the society's fund, the case of Mr. Jenkins, who received a salary as mis sionary at Quebec, while residing in Prince of Wales's Island, eight lomdred miles distant. The fact was, that Mr. 3enkirs, in proceeding to Quebec to fulfil the duties of his appointment, stayed a short time at Prince of Wales's Island for the improvement of his health, and the Society having learned that the climate of that place agreed with him, altered his appointment, and made him missionary in Prince of Wales's island, and sent another person out to Quebec. Mr. Griffin complained, that in consequence of that appointment he had been re moved from Prince of Wales's Island. One reason for the removal of that gentleman was, in consequence of a letter which he addressed, not many weeks after he arrived in that island, stated that the missionary there was not in priest's orders ; that he was in a deacon's office, taking upon himself to officiate as a priest in the sacrament. The society, upon receiving this information, wrote out to the person to whom Mr. Griffin had alluded, and the answer be sent back was his letters of ordination dated in 1774. The gentleman was of very advanced years, and as the feelings of the inhabitants were very strong in his favour, it was thought proper to remove Mr. Griffin from that island. The Noble Lord opposite had made it matter of complaint that the Bishop of Nova Scotia had never thought of residing in his diocese e xcepting for two or three mon th s after his appointment, but that lie came over to this coun try', and after some years of amusement received a pension of 8001. With respect to the Society, they hail no con cern in that matter. If there was any thing improper in the proceeding, he (Lord"Bathurst was alone responsi ble. Dr. Stanser had been rector of St. Paul's in the parish of Halifax, for thirty years. It was at this time that he (Earl Bathurst) had read a requisition signed by all the principal inhabitants, the object of which was to obtain the appointment of this respectable divine to the Bishopric ; and under the circumstances stated, he (Earl Bathurst) felt himself warranted in submitting his name to his Majesty, who was graciously pleased to confer the appointment upon him. A year and a half only after big appointment, a fire broke out in Nova Scotia ; it was in the night time, and the Bishop, as soon as he heard of it, went to the spot,and by his own personal activity sue ceedeil in extinguishing the flames, His exertions on this occasion were f o ll owe d by a severe illness, and he was in duced to come over to England to have medical advice. During his stay here, he called upon him (Earl Bathurst) and represented his 'desire to return to his diocese; - and in c onsequence of his auzjii". 7 pg theeubject, he (Earl Bathurst) Lord GODERICH said that of all the petitions ever submitted to the consideration of their Lordshis, he thought this the most unfortunate, there being no ground for any of the allegations it contained. The Noble Lord who pre seated the petition, had stated the other irvening that be was prepared to rest his mstion exclusively on the represen tations of the petition ; and his (Lord Goderich's) Noble Friend (Earl Bathurst) had shown that those representa tions were unfounded. He (Lord Goderich) had read the petition, and he could not help saying, that he thought it contained a great deal of what was commonly called rig marole. He (Lord Goderich) would take the liberty of giving their Lordships another specimen of the language in which this petitioner expresses himself when his feelings are excited, and after this, he (Lord Goderich) thought their Lordships would feel na surprise that the society had taken the step with respect to him Which was now so much complained of. In a letter addressed in June, 1826, to the Bishop of Nova Scotia, who, so far as be (Lord Goderich) knew, had nothing whatever to do with the Society for propagating the Gospel in foreign parts, he had made use of words to this effect :—" The vicar is a man who had completely studied the art of duplicity."— " Surely this is playing the part of a madman or a devil." (A laugh. )—"lt will require almost the whole of your arts of deception and intrigue to set the people against him ;" and then, in conclusion, this gentle peaceful person (Cor nelius Griffin) gives the following advice to the Bishop : " In conclusion, I must ask you to repent of your enor mities. You have been guilty of acts which are contrary to law, to reason, justice, and the gospel of the church. Remember, there will be a day, when the terrors of the great Ged will await you; and when you will be subject to render an account of your acts done upon earth. Pre pare for the thunders of the Almighty."—(A laugh.)— These specimens of Mr. Griffin's gentle temper he (Lord 1 Goderich) thought would satisfy their Lordships as to the degree of attention which out to be paid to the statements of such a person. The Noble Lord then adverted to some of the complaints as stated in the petition against the so ciety. With respect to the complaint that the society had employed those who were natives of the province, he (Lord Goderich) confessed he was surprised at it. If persons from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge had been selected in preference to those who were educated on the spot, lie (Lord Goderich) should have thought that the Noble Lord would have been the first to complain. The society had acted in a manner which he (Lord Goderich) thought they had a right to be specially proud of, and he, for one, returned them his sincere thanks.—(Hear, kear.) The Bishop of LONDON felt it due to the society, as well as to the individual from whom lie had received the letter which he held in his hand, to state that the charge against the society of their having offered to Mr. Griffin 'rst 501., and afterwards 1001. not to bring the state ments which the petition contained before their Lordship', appeared entirely without foundation. The letter he al luded to was from Archdeacon Potts, whose kind dispo sition had induced him to make a communication to Mr. Griffin on the subject of his statements. 'With their Lordships leave he would read the letter, which was ad dressed to himself.—(Near, hear.) The Right Rev. Pre late then, read the letter, which stated in substance that Mr. Griffin had called at the house of the writer (Arch- deacon Potts), at Kensington, on Sunday, the 9th inst., be tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening, and that in reply to some observations of his (Archdeacon Potts's), respecting the violent and inflammatory letter which he (Mr. Griffin) bad written, and for which he (Archdeacon Potts) said he thought the Society had done right in getting rid of him, he asked whether there was any law against repentance and apology, and adverted to the pe cuniary losses he had met with. The letter then went on to state, that on the next meeting of the Committee of the the Society, he (Archdeacon Potts) had made a represen tation of what had passed between him and Mr. Griffin,and they requested that lie should see him again ; thtt another interview between them accordingly took place, and the Archdeacon then told Mr. Griffin that he thought if he (Mr. Griffin) would make an apology to the Society for his conduct, and state the amount of losses he had sus tained, the Committee might probably advance him 501. orloo/.; but he was not to consider the suggestion as made from motives of fear, or to purchase his silence. The Archdeacon added, that he had no knowledge of the nature of Mr. Griffin's petition to their Lordships. The Right Rev. Prelate said, that this was the substance of the letter from Archdeacon Potts to him, and having read it, lie did not think it necessary to trouble their Lordships with any further observations. Lord KING said, that with respect to the observations made by the Noble Lord (Lord Goderich) as to the temper of Mr. Griffin, he could say nothing, for he had never seen Mr. Griffin but once in his life. He (Lord King) had made the statement respecting the offer of 501. or 1001. upon the authority of Mr. Griffin, who, is a recent letter to him, said, " Archdeacon Potts called on me yesterday to request me not to bring the affair before the House, and offered me first 501. and then 1001. I repelled his offer, and (laughter.) This was his (Lord King's) authority. He had not rested his motion on the allegations contained i❑ the petition. He had put it upon other and different grounds. What be complained of was the provision made by the colonial assemblies. The Right Rev. Prelate had said that the society had no objection to the inquiry, and yet he had resisted the motion on their behalf. He (Lord King) rested his motion on the ground of pluralities ; and if an inquiry were directed, their Lordships would see what the real nature of the case was. The motion was then put, and negatived without division,—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCM 21. At four o'clock a Messenger from the Lords presented himself at the Bar of the House, and stated that the pre sence of the Commons was requested in the other House, in order to hear read a Commission from his Majesty, giving the Royal Assent to several Bills, for which see the Lords' Report. The SPEAKER informed the House that the peti tioners against the return of a Member to sit in that House for the borough of Weymouth had not entered into the requisite securities and the petition was therefore dismissed. A person from the Secretary's Office in Ireland pre sented papers relative to Charitable and Literary Institu tions in Ireland. Mr. Wilbehere, from the Audit Office, presented the an nual accounts from that office. 111 r. VILLIERS STUART presented a petition from the inhabitants of Waterford, in favour of the Youghall Bridge Bill. Sir J. ASTLEY moved the third re adinc , of the Bill for dividing awl allotting lands in the parish of Horton. Mr,HOBHOCSE presented a petition from an indivi dual named Thomas Bradfield, of Darby-street, praying that two or snore coal meters may be appointed by his Ma jesty (and not by the magistrates), for the county of Surrey; and that the petition be referred to the Commit. tee on the Surrey Coal Bill.—Referred to the Committee accordingly. Sir WM. HEATHCOTE moved the third reading o f the Bill for erecting a new Market -house at Gosport.—Th e Bill was read a third time accordingly, and passed. BATTERSEA AND WANDSWORTH INCLOSURE. Mr. CHARLES PALLMER presented a petition from the Trustees of Marshall's Charity against this Bill ; he stated that the impropriate tithes of the fields intended to be enclosed, were invested in the petitioners for the bene volent purposes of increasing small livings, and releasing persons confined for small debts. The petitioners, as well a s he (Mr. P.), were too well aware of the liberality upon consideration, it should appear to him that the Act required amendment, he should be most ready to introduce such amendments as were consistent with the principle of the Bill. He denied that the Bill had an ex post . facto operation, and contended, that the parts of the Act which had excited the greatest opposition, were those which com pelled men to he honest and fulfil their obliptions. (Hear. 6 With respect to the opposition to the Act, on account of interference with the law of wills, he would admit the Bill restrained the owners of leasehold lauds from doing that by will which they were prevented from doing by granting leases, viz., splitting their leasehold into several small farms. If he could make any amendment without abandoning th,• principle of the Bill, he was willing to do so, but if not he should prefer adhering to the principle of the Bill, and leav ing it as it stood at present. Mr. WM. PEEL presented a petition from Thorna. Williams, of Bangor, praying for an alteration of the pre sent system of licensing public houses. Mr. DAWSON uao-ed that there be laid before thr House variov , returns relative to the amount of duties pa;fi upon Malt, &c. by scotch Distillers during the year end ing January, IS2B.—Ordered. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. Upon the motion of Mr. DAWSON, the House re solved itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. BANKES said he had a few observations to make relative to the increase of the expence fur the British Museum, in the account to he submitted to the considera tion of the Committee. That increase of expence was to be attributed, first to the necessity which existed of erecting e room for the reception of the library of his late Majesty, which had been so generously devoted by his present Majesty to the use of the public. The room destined to; those books was now ready, and the books would be re moved into it in the course of a few days, and he had great pleasure in stating that many Hon. Members who had sent the room, had expressed themselves highly satisfied with the handsome manner in which the room was fitted up. As that room was an addition to the Museum, it had be come necessary te appoint an additional number of persons to the former establishment to attend to that room. Another item of increased expense was, for removing the library of the late Sir Joseph Banks; and another item was, 250/. for printing a cata logue of the works bequeathed by the late Mr. Paynt, Knight, to the British Museum. f Sir JOSEPH YORKE felt it nece ssar y to allude to one circumstance with reference to the s p lendid room p re p a red for the reception of the library of his late Ma j est y . ti , that splendid room were four g ranite columns, which ap _ four columns, fault ln snlay he Leith t ho theiig thought trustees, they bey 0 t o , g r h i geared calculated to suppo rt a weight so p rodi g ious, as would have puzzled Arc himedes himself to have moved h evidently support e d oweve•rd were so placed, as t o l et o nn mThane simannere o o lim f i u n se s : and nothing. This was in bad taste , and much out of char acter with thebuildio Whseetler i. s m i r k s , he could not say, but wh en 5 ,000/. bad been ex pended on heto h ave been more advantageously placed. Mr. BANKES concurred in thinking the columns im properly pla ced ; he bad vai n l y state d t hi s o bj ect i on , an y a l so he had protested a ga i nst t h e expence. The grant of 16,649/. to the British Museum was then agreed to. The Report was or d ere d to b e rece i ve d on M on d ay ne xt. Sir J. NEWPOR T w i shed to put a quest i on t o the these h oi Right Hon. the Secretary of State.—(The Right Hen. Baronet spoke in so low a tone as to be inaudible in the gq l e! . Y.)—We understood his question to refer to the Com missioners of Inquiry, relative to the Scotch Courts of Justice, and to the vacancy in the registry of one of those Courts; in the new appointment to which he hoped some provision would be made to prevent its duties from being executed solely by deputy, although the principal received a large salary. Mr. Secretary PEEL was aware of the vacancy in the Court to which the Right Hon. Baronet referred, and of the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire re lative to the fees and emoluments of the officers of the Scotch Courts. He apprehended there were serious duties attached to the office alluded to, which, although now valiant for six months, had not yet been filled up. The report of the Commissioners did not suggest any alteration in that office. lie had referred the whole case to the Cotninissioners, and asked what they had intended to re commend! and he did not int& to appoint any one who
