~~ MI S'PIRIT OF THE rtriLlC JOURNALS. The Duke of Dadford has had another paralytic attack, which took place on Saturday. His Grace arrived n town on Friday night, from attending a Meetin g of the Bedford Level Csrporation at Ely, of - which the Duke is the Governor. The attack is ',unposed to have been brought on by his close at tendance to business at the Meeting,—Morning &raid. Lord Eldon made his great stand last night in defence of the Test and Corporation Acts. It was altogether a singular exhibition. The vehemence of life solemn protestations of attachment to the Con stitution in Church and State, as if extorted by a vivid apprehension that the Church, out of corn plaisance to Ministers, was about to commit ajhlo de at, Would have been irresistibly ludicrous, had it not been for the feeling of hatred towards every thing calculated to promote the happiness and pro arserity of our fellow-creatures betrayed in almost every sentence which he uttered._" For the Con etitution of the country he \you'd struggle (he said) hi order to leave it, wheo his days were ettesed—as they soon would be—as he hoped . to God he should leave it to posterity to enjoy the blessings that flowed from it."—We believe it is only in cases personal to himself that the Noble Lord's emo tion finds relief in a flood of tears-. The loss of the Test and Corporation Acts is a heavy loss, no doubt; but, judging from the manner in which the Noble Lord has supported losses which seemed to afflict him more seriously (judging from outward signs), we are disposed to entertain a hope, that he will long outlive this blow to Church and State. The blows which he aimed at the Bishop were aimed in good earnest, and were symptomatic of any thing rather than the indifference to earthly things which ustrally comes over men, when preparing to close their account with time; ao that we should be disposed to infer (toot this cor diality, and the studied attempt to phoduce an effect on his Majesty, by contrasting his situation with that of his subjects, he was looking to time fot his consolation for the loss of the bulwarks of t'hurch and State, rather than to eternity. 'l4e would take leave to tell their Lordships, that fall persons living, those who had the guardianship the Church or England, were the last that slits adopt say measure tending to re-produce tLe miseries from which we ware delivered by tee Acts now proposed to be repealed ; and he would add, , that if they shook. the Constitution to the 1 ground, they would look in vain for a restoration of either the Monarchy or the Church, such as the N ihau 'had the happiness to witeess in the reign of Charles II." 'What a magazine of insurrections is contained in this one sentence! Of course, he \visited it to be inferred that the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts would tend to bring the King and the Archbishop of Caetsrbury to the scaffold. Again—" If those could find out eaiple and suffi ient reason for the alienation, who were bound to preserve the Established Church, b s must only say that the marsh of intellect, of which so much had of late been said, had made more progress among others than in the humble individual who had then the honour to address their Lordships." But all these imputations of treachery against the Church were supported by no reasoning. He neither sheaved that the Test, and Corporation Acts were of the least benefit to the Church in the present day; nor that there was the least probability of their ever being beneficial. But "it had been his fate to live in peril ous times, and he knew by his experience that it would be better to take precautionary measures than to trust to a vote when the danger had actually arrived." So that to guard against the possibility of a danger which cannot even be imagined, the whole population of one division of the island, and half the population of the other, arc to be irritated by the existence of laws in the Statute Book s which cannot be enforced. And could any thing'be more lame and miserable, in the way of reasoning, than his attempt to bolster up the Test and Corporation Acts, by a reference to the Tests imposed on his Majesty " Their Lordships would recollect, that his Majesty on the Throne clime under an obligation to preserve the Presbyterian Church inviolate; he also came under a similar obligation as to the Church of England; and yet thousands of the petitions on their Lordships' table, said it was a degradation to take the same test as his Majesty—said it was a degrading principle to impose tests on them, when the same tests were imposed on his Ma jesty ; and he was obliged to take them be fore he could exercise any of his Royal func tions. His subjects said that it was a degrada tion to take the same tests as their King." The instances are not parallel. The King swears that he will uphold the Established Church of. England, and the Established Church of Scotland, because the force of the State is intrusted to him to support and uphold the various establishments of the coun try. His' oath to uphold the Established Church of Scotland never was supposed to import a belief in the Articles of the Church of Scotland, whereas the taking of the Sacrament, according to the rites of the Church of England, by those who conscientiously disapprove of those rites, is a downright profanation. The King might swear to uphold an establishment of Baptists hi the !sale of Man, or Lutherans in Hanover, or any other religion that might happen to be in his various possessions, without in the least compromising his own belief. But no man can par ticipate in religious rites of which he disapproves, without offering violence to his conscience. Lord Holland exposed his sophistries, and his unfair refer ences in an admirable manner. The attempt to COll - the subscription to the confession of faith im posed by the Presbyterian Church on the teachers in the Institutions for Education in subordination to the Church, with the tests imposed in England as a qualification for civil officers, was truly pettifogging. Well, it mast be said, if Lord Eldon presents us with all the mind hitherto arrayed in defence of the Test and Corporation Acts, there has indeed been a „ arc h !—Morning Chronick. The debate in Committee oo the Corporation and Test Acts Repeal Bill, in the House of Lords last - night, was of an extremely animated character, and most of the Noble Peers who are at all its the habit of taking an active share in the business of the House mingled' more or less in it. The chief speakers were ; the M arqu is of Lansdowne, th e E arls of Eldon and Harrowby, Lords Holland and Ellenbo- Landaff and of Bath and Wells, rough, the Bishops of and the Duke of Wellington. • Several amend in the course of the debat e • menu; were proposed one to convert the declaration into by an oath, ' the Earl of Eldon, which w as negatived on a divi sum by a large majority., The Earl of Winehel sea's clause • w a s also negatived, and every attempt that tended to define the Greed of the parties taking office. The Duke of Wellington, steer sag a h a pp y course bi tween the apparent, though we kn ow not i ntent i onal, l ax i ty o f the declaration introdu ce d b y Mr. Peel, and t h e over -narrowed declaration which it was the object of the Earl o f Winch e l sea to substitute, moved an addi tion, fur which we take the cre di t o f h av i ng pre pared our readers, name l y, t h at t h e party ta king office should make thedeclaration then required of hi m , upon Me faith a• Christian. The clause thus amended, not in wordeanerely, but in truth, was car ried without a divisiOn. We can now look en this Bill, if not with unmixed pleasure, at least with very different feelings from those with which we regarded r' it when it was first introduced into Parliament. His Grace deserves the thanks of all sincere friends of the Constitution for the most judicions and constitu tional course which he has purse , d. His motion may be considered as the delibera; a and settled judg ment of a Ministry in which the country reposes greater confidence than it has done in any, h ow _ ever zealous and however talented, that has guided our Councils for many years past. Mr. Peel's clause bore evidently the marks rather of a sug gestion than of a resolution. It will be recollected that the Right Hon. Gentleman was not even pre pared when he first offered it, with a concocted form of words. The alteration now made will prove, when the Bill comes again to the Commons, a fact on which we have already insisted, natnel ; ii, the-per fect harmony that subsists in all the parts of the present Cabinet. There is no contention among its Members but for the public good, no obtrusion of peculiar opinions, n 6 stickling for"particular inte rests, he 110 pressing o f p a rti a l me a s ure s . T whole machine moves with 'One impulse, and towards one object, its casual accelerations checked, and its casual retardations stimulated by the universally felt, and universally acknowledged influence of the Governor. We hope that no farther tampering will be attempted with the Bill on which we are remark ing. It is quite as good as it can possibly). be made; by attempting to mend it, there is great hazard of injuring it. It cannot be objected to now any more than before the addition to the Declaration was made, except by those who are prepared to argue that the Infidel, and contemner of tht Scriptures, should be allowed to creep into office under the cloak of the Dissenter-.—Anew limes.

IM PERRI, PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of MALMESBURY postponed the second reading of the Middlesex Lunatic Asylum Bill, and of the County Lunatic Asylum Bill from Thursday next to Tuesday the 29th inst. Their Lordships were aware that the evidence taken before a Select Committee of the other House had been printed by their 'Lordship's order. It was printed to day, and would be ready fur delivery to-morrow. But thereiwould not be sufficient time between that and Thurs day for their Lordships to .form an adequate opinion of the evidence. Indeed, although he now postponed the se cond reading of the Bills, it was not at all cer tain, hut that on Thursday he would move for a Se lect Committee to inquire into the state of the law as respected Lunatic Atylums, with a view of propos ing wh atever measures might be necessary for their better regulation. In the other House of Parliament there had been Select Committees appointed, he believed, in the years 1812, 1815, and 1817, and three Reports on the subject had been presented to the House. Three or four Bills fimnded on these separate Reports had been sent up to their Lordships without producing the effect which it was now sought to achieve. With the experience of these proceedings before their eyes, he thought that their Lordships ought of themselves to p rocee d to inves tigate the matter. He gave this notice now, as it was oossible that instead of moving the second reading of the Bills on Tue , j ay , b e would mo ve f or the appointment of a Select Committee to enquire into thr sate of the laws for regulating the licensing of private mad houses. The Earl of LAUDERDALE pretested against the course about to be pursued by the Noble Earl. There were very many people who thought themselves aggrieved by these Bills, and who, therefore, petitioned to be heard by their counsel and witnesses against them, and it would certainly be most inconvenient, in the Noble Lord's opinion, to hear evidence at the Bar, and afterwards to go into a Select Committee for the purpose of having the same subject investigated. It was strange that the Noble Earl without saying one word on the subject previously, should come down only two days before the second reading, and give notice of his intention to move for a Select Committee, and the Earl of Mahnesbury reminded the ' Noble Lord that . the se cond reading was fixed for next Tuesday week. Ile did not think the parties opposed to the Bill could object to the inquiry of a Select Committee, as they might be at j -liberty to do so in and offer such evidence as would hest jooward their interest. Lord LAUDERDALE said, the question, was, whe ther or not they were to have twb inquiries ? The second reading was then ordered to be postponed to the 29th. Lord SELSEA presented a petition from Arundel in favour of Catholic Emancipation. The Duke of MONTROSE presented a petition from Stirling praying for the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh, praying that facilities might be afforded for, procuring subjects for dise,!tion. The Earl of 51IAFTESBLIRY presented a similar peti tion from the Teachers and Pupils of the Aldersgate street School of Medicine. On tht. motion of Lord Colchester. a message was sent to the Commons desiring that they might permit 1111.. Barclay and Mr. Manning to be examined before their Lordships on the Bill for the Disfranchisement of the Borough of Penryn. The Duke of WELLINCTON moved the second read ing of the Life Annuities Repeal Bill. Lord KING said, that a more foolish measure or more replete with blunders than that which it was now proposed to repeal, a measure by which the country lost so many millions. It was a matter of astonishment that auy per sons could be so foolish as to pass at one and the same time two counteracting ills, which bad decidedly antago nist principles. Lord lAEXLEY could not believe that either the Act, or the letter referred to by the Noble Baron, called for the appelation - S attributed to them, auJ the ridicule thrown upon them. The Nob?e Lord spoke in a tone of voice so exceedingly low as to be almost inaudible. We understood him to say the calculations of Mr. Finlayson had been made on an erroneous basil ; that be believed up to the present moment he had made a good choice iu Mr. Per cival, any that was the calculations which had been begun eight years ago, and had continue five years after his learibg office, it would bavebeen too much for him while in office to have acted on any estimates on this subject, be might have been able to have made. He did not think the Act was to be sent into utter condemnation ; he considered it most important that the country debt should be made a temporary one, and that every thing calculated to lead to its liquidation should be resorted to. Lord GODERICFI, feeling that he was one of the cul prits, thought it :necessary to say a few words on the present occasion. There might be quacks in the financial department of the Gsvernment, as well as other situations of life ; he hoped he was not such a character, nor would he adopt the Noble Baronet's example of giving cleri cal lectures. As to the last letter that had been referred to it had been written after he had retired from the office ; and upon Mr. Finlayson'S introduction to him, he found him engaged in making one of the most intricate calculations that he had ever seen suggested by the Noble Lord who had just spoken, for the purpose of showing that female life was much longer than it had however, been generally assumed to be.--(Hear, hear.) — It was obviously a:subject of great importance, but nothing had at that time appeared to justify the assumdtion of a new basis for thecalculation of human life. Me had a great many schemes in hand relative to annuities, and he told him to bring, as fas as the nature of the thing would admit, his investigation to a close, because it was impossible to go to Parliament without having the matter as elaarly proved as it was possible to be: He said he had proceeded but it was still problematical whether his calculations had satisfactorily made out his premises. Lord KING explained. Lord LAUDERDALE then rose, and we left him speaking. HOUSE OF COMMONS. This day being fixed for the ballot for the Ludlow Eke tion Committee. The gallery was not opened to the publi until five o'clock. A petition was presented fiom a Friendly Society in Oxford-street, against the Bill before the House lbr the rc_ gulation of Friendly Societies. Lord ENNISMORE presented a petition from certain Members of the Hibernian Joint Stock Company in favour of the bill for the dissolution of the Company. The Noble Lord moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the bill, for the dissolution of the Hiber nian Joint Stock Company. Sir GEORGE HILL seconded the motion after a few observations. Mr. GRATTAN opposed the bill. He said the Co►n pany was supported by some of the principal merchants in Dublin, who thought that the Company was of great importance to Ireland. It was a mere jobbing squabble between two Companies in Ireland, and he thought the British House of Commons should not sanction such a proceeding. The capital of the Company was entire, the business of the Company was confined to the dis counting of bills, and no danger could arise t o any part of the community. If the petitsouers were discontented, they had nothing to do but to trans fee their shares, and there would be an end to all r e _ sponsibility. All the power the Legislature had given the Company was the power of suing and being sued. The Company was founded on a simple deed of Parliament, and the House had no right to interfere. He therefore, intreated the House to join him in opposiing the second reading of the Bill. LUDLOW ELECTION PETITION. Mr. DYSON brought up the names of the Members chosen to serve on the Ludlow Election Committee, which were as follows :—Sir James Farquhar, Hon. H. Arbuth not, Mr. Morrison, Hon. M. Milbank, Sir J. Craddock, Mr. F. Wilson, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Cooper, Lord Ennismore, Hon. W. Lascelles, Mr. Cartwright, Hon. G. Ponsonby, Mr. Estcourt, Mr. Chaplin, and Mr. Powel. • The Members were sworn at the table. Mr. SPRING RICE said, that as there was a great deal of business before the House to-night, and as the ques tion under discussion was one of considerable importance, he thought it advisable to have the discussion postponed to a future day. After sonic observations by Sir G. HILL, Mr. V. FITZ.. GERALD, and Mr. GRATTAN, the Walter debate was post poned to Thursday next. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from certain land-owners of Carmarthen,. praying that they may be heard by Counsel against the Denbigh Rail Road Bill—.. referred to the Committee on the Bill. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the Mer • chants of Manchester in favour of the Manchester Im provement Bill, and also a similar petition from the Clergy and other inhabitants of Manchester. On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the Manchester Im provement Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. BIRMINGHAM. Mr. LAWLEY moved the second reading of the Bir.. mingham Improvement Bill.—Read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. LAWLEY presented a petition from certain inha bitants of Birmingham against the Birmingham Improve ment Bill.—Referred to the Committee on the Bill. Lord EDWARD SOMERSET presented a petition from occupiers of lend in Gloucestershire, against the Bris tol and Gloucester Railway Bill.—Referred to the Com mittee on the Bill. Mr, A. DAWSON presented a petition from certain inhabitants of the County Louth, against the Bill fur the Inclosure of Common Lands in Ireland. On the motion of Sir T. LETHBRIDGE, the Bristol and Gloucester Railway Bill was read a second time, and order to be committed. (Left Sitting.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GuILDHALL, Aram 21• RICHARDS V. M'INTTRE. This was an action to recover the amount of wages due to the plaintiff, for his services as classical teacher in the school of the defendant, 131. M'lntyre, at. Stockwell Park, Surrey. The claim was for a quarter's wages, at the rate of 701. per annum, from Midsummer to Michaelmas last. The demand was resisted, on the ground that the plaintiff was not en gaged in the defendant's service during that period. The Jury found for the plaintiff for the quarter's salary, deducting a small sum which the plaintiff gave credit for. The Annual Gold Medals, presented by his MAJESTY to the Royal Society of Literature, to be by them given to individuals distinguished by the production of works eminent in literature, were adjudged by the Council last week to the venerable CILABEE, and to Arch deacon CoxE. Count LuDoLF, the Neapolitan Minister, transacted business yesterday with Mr. HUSKISSON, at the Colonial Office, Downing -street. His Excellency also transacted business at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, SURREY stsaross, APRIL 21. Yesteyday these sessions commenced at Horse- Motiger4ane, by adjournment, before ROBtIVP HIMiltR, Esq., Chairman, and a full bench of Ma gistrates. The Grand and Traverse Juries having been sworn, the following cases were investigated : Howell Griffiths was indicted for feloniously steal ing the sum of Is. Bd., the property of his employers, Messrs. White and Greenwell, of Great Surrey street, linen-drapers. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Counsel for the prosecution recommended the prisoner to mercy. _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to sii weeks' im prisonment and hard labour at Guildford gaol, in timating at the same time, that but for the recom mendation of the prosecutors, the Court would have been obliged to pass a much more severe sentence. Eliza Aris;_ mistress of the chorusses at the Surrey Theatre, was indicted for feloniously stealing several articles of jewellery, the property of Mr. Bennett, veterinary surgeon, Vauxhall-walk, on the 10th of the present month. The wife of the prosecutor deposed, that the pri soi:er had been employed some time to teach her music, since which period she was in the habit of visiting occasionally. On the day mentioned in the indictment, the prigoner paid witness a visit, and having left the house, witness missed a garnet ring from her bed-room. She communicated her loss to her husband, who immediately pursued the prisoner. The prosecutor, in consequence of the informa tion he received from his wife, followed the prisoner, and overtook her just as she was entering the Sur rey Tleatre. He accused her of the robbery, and at the same time perceived the ring now produced. She exclaimed, " Surely, Mr. Bennett, you will not take my character away. Do you think, after all your kindness to me, rwould rob you?" Witness having previously obtained the assistance of Stowell, a constable, she was conveyed to the watch-house, at the door of which she dropped the ring. The prisoner, who during the whole investigation was in strong hysterics, with a baby in her arms, de clined making any defence. A great many witnesses, principally parents whose children's musical education had been intrusted to the prisoner, gave her an excellent character. The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended her to mercy, in which the prosecutor joined. The CUAIRMAN, in passing sentence observed, that it was truly lamentable to see a female possessing the abilities of the prisoner in such a disgraceful si tuation, and he trusted the sentence he was about to pass would be taken as a warning, and induce the unfortunate female at the bar to become a useful member of society. The sentence was, therefore, that the prisoner pay a fine of 1 s. and be discharged. The prisoner, on hearing the: sentence, fell pros trate on the ground, and it was a considerable time before she became enabled to be removed to the pro tection of her husband, whose feelings were equally as distressing as those of his unhappy wife. The Court was crowded wi ih individuals connected with the minor theatres, whose appearance bespoke their satisfaction at the result of the trial. WINDSOR CASTLE. We are happy to find that his Majesty has been sufficiently well to inspect the new quadrangle which is now about being added to Windsor Castle. The utmost splendour and magnificence reign throughout the apartments. The paper-hangings are covered with gold. The silk hangings are wrought in pannels made en purpose. The flowers and borders consist of a species of embroidery never before seen in this country. Different individuals were employed in the manufactory thereof ; so that no one out of doors could see the tout-ensemble.-- In his Majesty's bed-room there is a bath. In the centre stands the bed, which, however, waa not yet fitted up during Passion-week. It is to be placed in a recess, opposite the fire-place. On the left hand of the bed is a large Gothic window ; the bath on the right. There. are three doors in the room— one communicating with the dressing-room; an other door opens to a private staircase, lead ing to the Terrace, and from thence to a pri vate garden of about one acre. The avenue is by a double stone staircase, or flight of steps of as vast dimensions as that fronting Greenwich Hospital, and a raised terrace surrounds the garden, and separates it from the park. A fountain, or artificial water-work, is to decorate the garden. The ceilings are all highly ornamented with gold. The windows are all of superb plate glass, most of them five or six feet high, and about three feet wide. There are four huge panes to each window, made to lift up, each pane being framed by itself, slipping in a groove, and lifting up separately, so as to form a distinct window. They are of the most costly materials. One room on the private staircase has a glass dome or lantern, with ornamented stone work of the finest texture, resembling fillagree. There are 300 rooms, requiring 500 servants in constant, attendance. The yard of the quadrangle is flanked by two galleries en two sides, one upwards of two hundred feet long, and beautifully wrought, looking into the quadrangle, and giving light to the inner gallery. The metal poles for the window curtains are fixed, but covered. Some of the doors and double doors have five hinges of the most expensive kind and exquisite workmanship, costing 30s. each. Plate glasses are in every door throughout the building, except in the bed-rooms. A new door is cut through the quadrangle, leading in a straight line to the long walk, and affording a per spective of three or four miles. One of the stone bronzed chimney-pieces is supported by two Fauns, each holding two Cupids in his arms, and looking towards the fire. The new building is quite separate from the old, and appears to have no connection with it. The finishing will, cost at least half a mil lion. The whole is to be ready by the middle of May, when the King will give a fete, but, accord ing to others, by August. We regret to find that the beautiful paintings in St. George's Chapel are about to be destroyed ; part of them are so already, they being patched, and the ceiling and sides mostly spoiled, though painted by the greatest mas ters, and forming . attraction to visitors from all quarters.. The Throne is removed from Saint 'George's Chapel, and 'will be eplaced by a new one. The flooring iadone in oak, in imitation of Mosaic. The boarders round several rooms are in small pieces of about two inches wide and..short lengths. Two rooms were completely hung, one with dark blue paper, and broad crimson border covered with geld ; the other is of a delicate salmon colour. The Royal kitchen is very large, a fire place at each end, and arches for chimneys. The yard of the quadrangle presents a heap of building materials and rubbish. The gallery is built quite new from the foundation, as fur as two sides are St. George's Hall forms the third side, and the round tower, with the mound of earth upon ' which it stands, forms part of the fourth.
