OXFORD, MARCH 12.—With feelings of the deepest and most unaffected regret we announce the death of the Right Rev. JOHN PARSONS, D.D. Lord Bishop of Peterborough, at his lodgings in Balliol College, in this University. His Lord ship was in the 58th year of his age, and bad suffered for some weeks previously to his decease under the severe and agonizing walady of rheu matic gout. He breathed his last this morn ing, about nine o'clock,—Dr. PARSONS proceeded to his degree of A.M. Dec. 1785, to that of B. D. 'April 24, 1759, and to that of D. D. April 30, 1799. In► the year 1798, on the va cancy occasioned by the death of the Rev. Dr. Davey, he was elected to the Mastership of Bal liol College ; in 1810, to the Deanery of Bristol; and in 1813, on the demise of Dr. SPENCER MA- DAN, he was consecr.sted, at Lambeth, to the Bishopric of Peterborough. PREFERRED.—The Rev. John Stedman, B. A., of Pembroke College, in this University, elected Master of the Royal Grammar School, founded by Edward VI. at Guildford, lately vacant by the resignivion of the Rev. W. H. Cole. A dispensation erns passed the Great Seal, en abling the Rev. Henry Bower, M. A. Domestic Chaplain to the Earl, of Roseberry, to hold the Vicarage of St. Mary Magdalen, Taunton, with the Rectory of Staple-Pitzpain, both in Sorrier setshire, on the presentation of E. B. Portman, Esq. M.l'. The Right Hon. the Earl of Verulam has ap pointed the Rev. William Jackson, M. A. of Queen's College, in this University, one of his Lordship's Domestic ClHplains. PREACHERS.—Mr. Morgan, of Trinity College, Bampton Lecture, on Sunday morning, at St. Mary's. Mr. Loveday, of NLigdalen College, on Sunday afternoon, at St. Peter's. ROYAL ACADEMY. The Fourth Lecture on NRCHITECTUEE,ddivered by Mr. Songs on Thursday, after briefly alluding to the ORDERS which had been the .subject of previous notice, proceeded to an enquiry into the occasions, the uses, and proportions of Pilasters, Columns, Obelisks, Ballostrades, awl Pediments. The Learned Professor entered largely into the discussion of Peditnents, fully describing their nature, character, and application. He illustrated the whole with reference to historical facts, par ticularly in relation to the intent of Columns and Obelisks. The subject was farther illustrated, as usual, by some admirable drawings. In conclu sion, the Professor again adverted to the opportu nity afforded, by the intention of raisin; New Churches, of calling forth the Architectural Ge nius of the country. He observed, that if the com paratively small sum allotted to this purpose in the reign of QUEEN ANNE had brought forth great talents, and produced structures highly honour able to the country, bow notch more might be expected from the superior liberality of Parlia ment. at the present period. He therefore sug gested that those to whom the application of the money is entrusted should invite competition by public advertisement, and, upon a due compa rison ot, the Designs which might be presented, to he submitted, to enlightened judges, not deter mined by ballot, a fair preference be given, and the Artists be encouraged accordingly. The Pro fessor urged this point with great zeal, candour, and ability, and received the warmest applause of as large an audience as we ever observed on any similar occasion. Mr. FUSEL! was in the Chair, and the Lecture was attended by a very large pro portion of the Academic Body. VOCAL CONCERT.—The second of the series took place last night' at the Hanover-square Rooms, and, as usual, was attended by a numer ous and brilliant audience, particularly of the higher ranks The selection was from HANDEL, MOZART, JOMELLI, HAYDN, BEETHOVEN, WEBB, ATWOOD, and W. KNYVETT.—MrS.SALMON, MISS STEPHENS, BELLAMY, VAUGHAN, and BEGREZ, were the Vocal Performers. The Soldier's Dream was well given by VAUGHAN, with the able ac companyment of GREATOREX on the Organ. Mrs. SALMON chiefly distinguished herself in " Sweet Bird," and was also admirably accompanied by CRAMER's Violin. A new Song, " Fair Lula was a Highland'illaid," composed by RAWLINGS, gave scope to the taste, simplicity, and expres sion of Miss STEPHENS, supported by the same dualities in C. KNYVETT'S accompanyment on t h e Piano-forte. We have not, however, room to particularize the several merits of this excellent School of Harmony. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCP 12, Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT sat tza the Lord Chancellor as Speaker. Petitions were presented by the Earl of Ros siya Lord Grandy, and the Earl Bathurst, font Guisborough, Guildford, and Cirencester, tor a Revision of the Criminal Laws ; by the Earl Beauchamp and Lord Viscount Melville, from Co ventry, and the Proprietors and Lessees of Col lieries in Scotland, against any alteration in the Dury on Coals ; by Lord Redesdale, from tile Prisoners confined in the King's Bench Prison, for a continuance of the Insolvent Act ; by Lord Auckland, front Brechin, for a Reform in the System of Election in Scots Burghs; by the Marquess of Lansdowne, from Nor%%ich, to have two Gaol Deliveries for that City in the course of the Year, and front Chippenham and the Ward of Bridge, against the Renewal or the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Upon the last subject his Lord. ship expressed his opinion, that a renewal of the Act, with whatever modifications (and sonic were undoubtedly necessary), was preferable to a re turn to the old system of law, which was pro ductive of nothing but injustice and inconsist ency.—All the petitions were ordered to lie upon the table. With reference to the Petitions yesterday, re specting rating Lead Mines to the Poors' Rate, the Earl GROSVENOR expressed his- regret that such a demand should be made, which, supposing it were acceded to, would have the effect of ruin ing many of the 'Mines, and thus leaving no vi sible property to be rated ; he could not also but think it unfair, that considering the great advan tages derived to the mining district in yiestion from these mines, when in their prosperity, that' now, merely on account of a year of adversity, an attempt should be made to call for the impo sition upon them of a heavy and ruinous burden. The Poor Laws' Amendment Bill and a Road Bill 'ere brought up from the House of Com mons, by Mr. St urges Bourne, Mr. Pitt, and 0! her Members, and read a first time. 'l'l►e first Bill was ordered to be printed. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH laid upon the table some Returns from Ireland respecting the State of Prisons.—Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented against the Insolvent Debtors' Act, from the Corporation of Bristol, by Mr. H. Davis ; from Stourbridge, by Mr. Lyttelton ; from Huddersfield, by Mr. S. Wortley; from Newcastle-under-Lyne, by Mr. Kinnersley ; and from St. Martin's in the Fields, by Mr. M.A. Taylor. Mr. TAYLOR, in presenting the latter Petition, stated that the Petition was most respectably signed, and to shew that the Petitioners were not actuated by an hostility to fair Debtors, he mentioned that a subscription had been raised to defray the expence of drawing up the Petition, &c. the surplus of which was delivered to the Society for Releasing Persons confined for Small Debts. Mr. W. DuNnas presented a Petition from Edinburgh, in favour of Burgh Reform. Mr. Hum said, that the Petition was most numerously signed, and, like almost every other Petition on the same subject, had been unanimous ly agreed to. It was to be remarked, that no Petition of a contrary nature had been presented; and he could affirm, that five out of six of the inhabitants of the Burghs were strongly in favour of the salutary and safe Reform which the Petition prayed for.---The Petition was ordered to be printed. A similar Petition was presented from the Royal Burgh of Tain, by Mr. Mackenzie. Petitions against the extension of the Tax on Coals were presented from Stourbtidge, by Mr. Lyttelton ; trout Proprietors and Les'ees of Col leries in Scotland, by Mr. W. Dutidas ; from Bridgenorth, by Mr. T. Jones ; front Working ton., by Mr. Curwen ; front the Corporation of Bristol, by Mr. H. Davis ; from some places in Yorkshire, by Mr. S. Wortley; and from Coven try, by Mr. Moore. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a Petition from Bridport against the present Tax on Coals. Mr. Alderman Tuoar presented a Petition from the Ward of Aidgate against the present Duty on Coals. As this Petition (he observed) did not contain the obnoxious prayer for an equalization, but prayed for the repeal of the Tatt altogether, he hoped it would have the support of those Gentlemen who so strenuously resisted the idea of laying a tax on their constituents. Mr. LYTTELTON presented Petitions from Ross, in Hereford, and Ealing, in Salop, for the revision of the Criminal Code. Sir J. NEWPORT—a Petition from the Catholics of the County and City of ‘Vaterford, praying for relief from their civil disabilities. Mr, S. BOURNE, on account of the business likely to occupy the House, postponed his motion for a Bill to regulate the Settlement of the Poor till Thursday the 25th inst. Mr. GLIENFELL moved for further Accounts of the Balances of Public Money lodged in the Bank of England.—Ordered. The Report on Mr. Carew Smyth's Private Letters was brought up and ordered 10 be p►inted, GAME. Mr. BRAND brought in Isis Bill for the Amend ment of the Game Laws, which was read a first time ; to be read a second time on Friday nest, and to be printed. SALT TAX. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that on Wednesday next he should move for papers relating to the Salt Tax, On which occasion be should declare his determi nation respecting it ; and an opportunity would then also be given to other Gentlemen to express their opinions on the subject. 'the Holyhead Road Pitll was brought in, and read a first time. To be teal a second time this day fortnight. NE WGATE. Mr. Shetiff Roberts, at the Bar of the House, presented a Petition from the Corporation of London, complaining of the crowded state of the Gaol of Newgate, by the influx of Middlesex prisoners. Mr, Alderman Woon stated, that the City of LonA oh did not so much complain of being obliged to maintain the criminals of Middlesex as well as of London, but rather of the crowded stare of the gaol, which was now such, that 47 priso ners were under sentence of deaih, while there were Only 15 cells to confine them in It was also mentioned as a fact, which sheaved the shocking consequences of the crowded state of this gaol, that 16 persons, convicted of an infa mous crime, were all confined in one room If any prisoner was sent from that 1-louse, or any person of rank superior to, the common pri soners, he was necessarily .confined among the felons. The wish of the City was to have the Petition referred to the Committee on Gaols. The Petition having been read, on the motion that it do lie on the table, Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that one of the cir cumstances referrM to was so disgraceful and dis gusting, that some' immediate steps should be taken to . remedy the evil. lie suggested a sepa rate Committee instead of a reference to the Com mittee on Goals. Mr. Alderman Woon stated, that every possi ble means had been taken to place these persons in a different situation, but it was in the present state of the Gaol impractieahle, Mr. BROUGHAM Was convinced be spoke the sense of every Member in the House, when he said, that unless the City of London had been utterly destitute of the means of removing the evil which existed, it was to be lamewed that they should present a petition on such a, subject, Whether there were means of altering the internal arrangement of the prison, or funds for enlarging it, he was not competent to speak, but he trusted the City had satisfied themselves on these sub jects hefoie they had applied to the House. As the matter was betore the House, he' concurred with the Hon. Member for l3ramher, that sonic immediate step should be taken. Mr. Alderman WooD said, the fault was not in the City of London, but in the Middlesex Ma gistrates, who o bad sent these wretches to such a gall as Newgate, where there were only 15 cells, while there were actually 47 persons under sen tence of death. They were not London pri soners, as there had been no crimes of that kind in the City since the men were exposed in the pillory. The sending of these men to Newgate was more strange, as there were several hundred separate cells in Clerkenwell. Prison. The motion was agreed to. A motion was made to grant leave of absence to Sir H. Parnell on account of urgent private business. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, that while above stairs, he understood some observation was made, dis approving of the abolition of the punishment of the pillory. The SPEAKER observed, that the Honourable Member's allusion had no reference to the ques tion before the House. Mr M. A. TAYLOR expressed his readiness to vindicate the measure to which he had alluded against an attack from any fp:trier. The mo!ion was agreed to. Ordered, on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that the House should, at its rising, adjourn to Monday next. INSOLVENTS. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Prisoners in the Fleet, praying, not for the con tinuance of the, Insolvent Acts, but simply that no measure should be adopted by the House upon the subject of those Acts, without a previous and full inquiry into the construction end conse quences of the Law with tespect to Debtor and Creditor.—Ordered to lie on the table. COMPLAINT AGAINST MR. WINDHAM RUIN. This business was then resumed, and Mr. G. Mansel, of Limerick, was the first witness called ; in the course of his examination. STANDING ORDER, Mr. STUART WORTLEY said, that be wished to prevent all mistake us to the printing of the evi dence. The minutes of the examinations would of course be printed for the use of the Members ; and as they were delivered out sheet by sheet, it would be in the power of any persons who had access to them to publish them for general circu lation : justice, however, required that a partial statement should not go forth, whether by this or less authentic means, and he apprehended that the republication of those minutes, printed for the use of Members, would be a breach of privi lege he meant of course until the whole was completed.—(Hear !) After the next witness, Mr. Daniel Gabbett had withdrawn, _ _ Mr. WYNN, referring to what had passed last night, asked Mr. Windham Quin if he wished, in the present instance, to disclaim all protection of communications made in prefessional confi• deuce. It the Honourable Member objected, he apprehended that the House would not receive such evidence. Mr. W. QU1N....4 have nothing to conceal in these transactions ; and for God's sake let them be sifted thoroughly to the bottom. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The examination of 1%.1r. Richard Smith and Mr. Carew Smyth was con , inned till near 11 o'clock, when it was iniertui,ted by the following pto cecding Sir GEORGE HILL said, that he rose in order to move that a witness, formerly examined (Mr. Goold), be called in, and examined as to a ques tion of privilege. He understood that Mr. Goold had received a threat as to the manner •in which he bad given his evidence at the bar of that House, and in which he might continue to do so.- Goold was accordingly called in, and thus examined by the SPEAKER Have you seen ?dr. Grady, jun. since you gave evidence at that bar ?—I have. Did any conversation pass between you / There did. What was that conversation )—About a quarter of an hour ago I was in the witnesses' room, with several other Gentlemen, when Mr. Grady came to met and said, "Mr. Goold, I wish to speak to you." I took off my hat with all the respect I could to him, and replied, that I could not speak to him, as it would be indelicate while the pre going on. He said be sent inquiry Was t
