VISITATION OF HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN TO CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL.-lIIS GRACE RE FUSED ADMISSION!!! DUBLIN, JUNE 28.—His Grace the Archbishop of Ms- LIN had given notice that he should hold a Visitation yesterday at Christ Church, in consequence of Mr. Smith, the Musical Composer., having obtained a writ of mandamus directing his Grace so to do, for the purpose of hearing that Gen tleman's complaint against the Dean and Chapter, who had removed him from his situation in the Choir. On his Grace arriving at the Chapter-room door, the Verger refused him admission; and - being asked by whose authority he did so—he answered, " by order of the Dean and Chapter," and that he received those orders both before and after his Grace's Citation, which, according to Canon Law, had been served 28 days preVious to the .Visitation. Whereupon, afte r some conversation with the Learned Civilian, sir Henry Mere dyth, his Grace three times distinctly called over the names of ra il b ,n le ita and rie s Very and the Dean and Chapter, viz. The Right T i n e oi n t Reverend the Bishop of Kildare, Dean ; the Prebendaries, & c ., who, b e ing absent, and not answer i ng , his Grace pronounced each and every of them " contumacious," in that solemn, emphatic, and fceling manner, which the occa sion so justly required, and for which his Grace is so eminently distinguished.. The Archbishop then adjourned the Visitation to the Bth of July next, in St. Patrick's Cathedral. The venerable Earl of MAR set off last week for London, in order to pay his respects to the KING, upon his restoration to the P eerage . Gratitude, we und erstan d , and the high feeling of the age d N o bleman, have induc e d hi m to under take this fatiguing j ourne y, though Parlia ment was ki n d enough to dispense with his attendance at the imposition of the oaths. 'llis interview with the King is to be private, and he will be subjected to as little trouble and - exertion as possible. We cannot hqp expressing our earnest wish and hope, that this almost chivalou s expe di t i on o f the worthy o ld Earl may be attended with no dangerous consequences, and that his unex pected appearance in London, into which there has been no such importation of romance and romantic association, if we except the Scotch novels, since the days of William the Con queror—will be productive of equal plczyst:tre to his Alajesty and himsElf:-.4 Edinburgh Observer. A PARLIAAIENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 21. ROYAL ASSENT. The LORD CIIANC:DLLOR and the Earls of SHAFTESBUItY and HARROW BY, as his Majesty's Commissioners, brought down the Royal Assent to the following Bills The Excise:and. Customs Duties Bill, the East India Pos; sessions Bill, the Ecclesiastical Benefices Bill, the New South Wales Bill, the Medway Canal Bill, the Trish Grand Jury Presentment AtnendMent Bill the Fleet Market Removal Bill, the Marylebone New Street Bill, and several private Bills. . SLAVERY. _ . Several Petitiisns from parishes in the Counties of Surrey and Kent, praying for the gradual abolition of slavery in the Colo nies, were presented by the-Duke of RICHMOND; and Lords SELSEY and TOURING TOY.—Laid on the table. • Earl GROSVENOR said, that if he saw a;yremissness on the part of his Majistv's 3linisters in carrying the gradual abo lition of slavery into effect, he should call the attention of their Lordships next Session to some measure on the subject. The Earl of ROSE BERRY presented a Petition from the County of Linlithgow against (it was understood) the Scotch Distilleries Bill.—Laid on the table. EARL . M.II - ISTLIL. Lord HOLLAND, in moving the third reading of the Bill to authorise the Earl Marshal to exercise his functions, said that after the sense of the House had been so clearly expressed in favour of the measure, it would be unpardonable in him to delay their Lordships. He therefore only repeated, that in passing the Bill they were doing an act of grace to a most worthy individual, and were doing it at the moment when it must prove most acceptable. The question was then put and agreed to unanimously, and the Bill was read a third time, passed, and sent to the Commons SLAVE TRADE ACTS, Earl BATHURST having moved the third reading of the Slave Trade Acts Consolidation Bill, The Earl of WESTMORLAND, though he was as sincere as his Colleagues in wishing to put down the Slave Trade, .ob jected to two clauses in the present Bill. The one, he con tended, subjected merchants who might have lent certain sums of money to be made responsible for the use of it byothers, and. to be tried for the mere intention of felony, without any felo nious act having been committed. Neither was this all, but instead of being tried by a British tribunal, and before a Bri tish Jury, they were to be tried under the 27th of Henry the 11th and 12th of King William, or the 46,1 i of his late 31a jesty, in any Court of Admiralty. The second clause was that which allowed slaves to be moved from one , island to the other only till the 31st of July, 1827, and even then not without send ing to England and obtaining the consent of the King in Coun cil. Such a clause was highly impolitic, and might prove cruel, by confining an overgrown population to the island where it was fixed, and where it might starve, whilst it might have enjoyed plenty in another place. The Noble Earl then moved that the bill be recommitted with a view to alter those clauses. Earl BATHURST defended the bill, and contended that persons guilty of offences would be tried by British subjects resident in the colonies. As to the non-removal of slaves from colony to colony, the principle had been recognised in the Act of 1806, abolishing the Slave Trade, and the clause now objected to only went to follow it up, and to give it effect. He could not allow slaves to be regarded so entirely in the light of goods and chattels, as to be removed to other islands, without any consideration of the social relations which they had formed, and which it was desirous they should be encou raged to form. He could therefore not agree to the amend ment proposed by the Noble Earl. Earl ROSSLYN did not approve that in a Bill brought for ward under the pretence of consolidation new matter should have been introduced. He objected to the clause, preventing the future removal of slaves, and likely to be highly pernicious to the slaves themselves, mid wished that the Ministers of the Crown should retain the power of allowing them to be removed, on a case of strong necessity being made out. He should there fore propose that the words " until the 31st of July, 1827," be - left out. The Marquis of LANSDOWN stated, that that was the very clause which made him anxious that the Bill should pass. As long as there should be a power, under any regulations whatever, to transfer slaves from one colony to another (a spe cies of Slave Trade worse than the original Slave Trade, as it operated on more civilized beings), there would exist a posi tive bar to their moral improvement. If it be the object of the Legislature to encourage the contraction of the marriage ties, and to raise in the mind of the slaves a wish for property by showing them the possibility of acquiring it, they must feel secure that they could not be removed from the country where those ties were to be formed, and that property to be acquired. Unless they knew that they could no longer be the sport of the arbitrary will or caprice of individuals, nor even of the power of the Government itself, it was in vain to expect that their minds, interest, or affection, should be raised above their present state. As to the possibility of population growing too numerous, or labour too scarce, in a particular island, it would afford an opportunity for the Masters to select . those Slaves most fitted - for emancipation. Once manumitted, they might be placed in other quarters where they could dispose of their free labour to the greatest use. The present measure, as one great step taken with the consent of Masters towards' the emancipation of slaves, was entitled to the warmest support of the House. Lord HOLLAND wished that there had been some modi fications and exceptions in the clauses alluded to, but consider ing them wholesome upon the whole, gave the measure his support. After a few words in defence and approbation of the Bill from Lord CALTHORPE and Earl GROSVXNOR, the amend ments were negatived, and the Bill read a third time and passed. Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from the Pawn brokers of Nottingham , against the Equitable Loan Bill.— Laid on the table. MARINE INSURANCE. Lord BEXLEY having moved the third reading of the Ma rine Insurance Bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR read the additional clauses of which he gave notice and a full description on Friday last. He then stated that his first wish certainly was, that they should be adopted, but that he should not press them against the sense of the House. He, at the same time, gave a fair warning to all persons who were desirous of forming Companies, that early next Session he should introduce a General Bill to subject them to these regulations, if they should not be agreed to at present. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that the Bill before the House created no Corporation whatever. The fact was, that for upwards of one hundred years, two Companies had enjoyed a complete monopoly of Insurance. The object of the present Bill was to destroy that monopoly, as it ought to be done on the principle of a free trade. All it did was lo leave the whole ques tion under the common law of the land. Undoubtedly, after the Act should have passed, Joint Stock Companies might be formed, and if his Noble and Learned Friend thought proper next Session to propose such regulations as he had now read, lie should be inclined to support them. But he thought it fairer that they should form the matter of a general enactment, and should not be added to a Bill which erected no new companies or charters. Lord REDESDALE contended that the clauses might to be adopted at present, as Companies , might, be formed as soon as the Bill should be passed. Lord BEXLEY maintained that no inconvenience could arise from the postponement of the clauses till the next Session, as no new Company could be established but by Act of Parlia ment, and the Bill of the Noble and Learned Lord might be introduced and passed before any measure for creating Joint Stock Companies should have been agreed to. He therefore trusted his Noble 'and Learned Friend would consent to with draw his clause's and bring them in the shape of a general Bill next Session. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that though the Bill enacted no new charter, it was known that a gigantic com pany was to be formed as soon as it should have been passed. If no Bill had yet been brought in to give it life, it was be cause the projectors very well knew that they would have been subjected to all those restrictions. Their Counsellors had no doubt cnnningly advised them : " Don't say a word about your Bill at present, only get the two existing Companies de molished, and then during the recess of Parliament you may form your Company without any restrictions." But he trusted that he should have the ass i s t en ce of the House, and if Parlia .ment set rightly to wor k, i n s pite of the influence of all mo neyed men in th e country , th e y m ight still be able to do th a t which was just and proper. The Noble and Learned Earl having then moved his clauses 1 pro forma, in order that no man might say that such clauses had pot:been under the ear - tilde:a:lcm of;-Parliament, the Sill was read a third time and , passel - The Marqui s o f LANSDOWN moved that the Report of the COMmittee en the state of Ireland be printed.—Ordefed. . .

IRISH ABSENTEES. _ . Colonel TRENCH presented a Petition from the Gentle. men and Freeholders of tipper Ossory, praying that the House would be pleased to place a tax on absentees. The Hon. Gen tleman said, that such a regulation would materially promote the interest of Ireland ; and that if some such measure were not adopted, the miseries of Ireland must continue.—Laid on the table. Mr. J. 'WILLIAMS presented a Petition from &Magi , strate named Walter Iloneywood, complaining of the increase of fees in the Court of Law.—Laid on the table. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he would take that opportunity of stating, at the desire of the Bishop of Sodor and Man, that his Lordship never presided at any of the Courts to try' any cause in which hiMself or his clergymen were interested. SUPERANNUXTION FUND TAX. Mr. MABERLY moved for a return of the number and amount of all the salaries and emoluments received by the sc veral public officers, who were liable to pay the 10 per cent. on the Superannuation Fund. The Honourable Gentleman said, this tax was a most unfair one, and paid by only eighty per sons in the State. Sir J. YORKE said, that the measure was proposed by the late Marquis of Londonderry, as one of economy ; and the pe.. cular language of that lamented Statesman was, that " to re linquish it, would be to turn our backs upon ourselves.r He (Sir J. Yorke) supposed economy was what we had to depend upon, for he presumed there was as much idea of paying off the national debt, as there was of bottling Off the Atlantic. Sir S. 'WORTLEY hoped that his Majesty would withdraw the Order in Council which forced the payment of the tax. fie thought every thing should be done to serve those who were old servants. • Mr. F. BUXTON thought there were no persons so badly paid as his Majesty's Ministers. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that he disliked the idea of consi.. dering his Majesty's Ministers as taking their places for the sake of profit. Ile believed that they were actuated by much Letter motives. Lord Camden did a noble act, by sacrificing 8,000!. a year, to relieve the burthens of the people.—( Hear! )—. He hoped the flouse would do every thing to promote economy, until the people were relieved. Mr. ELLICE said, that he concurred in the view which the Hon. Member for Yorkshire (Mr. S. Wortley) had taken of the subject. He thought the officers who filled the higher situa tions in the State ought to be well paid, and he did not think it would be burdensome to the people to do so. Whenever such a proposition came before the House he would tote for it. Mr. P. GRENFEI.I. said, that he was anxious to have the fullalariesgiven to the persons alluded to. • • Mr. W. SMITH said, that he could not see any impropriety in taking off the tax of 10 per cent. He agreed with his Hon. Friend (Mr. Calcraft) in believing that the public officers had a desire to serve their country in responsible offices in the State, and not a wish for emolument. _ _ _ Mr. MABERLY said, that the State was best served when they paid its public officers. If such were not done, all those persons of talent were shut out from them unless they had in dependent fortunes. Mr. BANKES thought the measure which he had supported on a former night, relative to the superannuation fund, was a. measure of economy, and therefore expedient. SPECIAL JURORS. Mr. PEEL said, that he was .-rt;rolus , tO correct a statement which had been made, relative to what he had said on the sub ject of !Special Jurors, on a former night. lie was reported to say that he had consulted with persons in the habit of serving on Special Juries, and had found them willing- to co-operate with him for the improvement of tile system. He had said no such thing. What he said was, that he had consulted with the two persons in the Courts of Exchequer and King's Bench, whose office it was to return Special Jurors, and that he had found them anxious to have the system improved. EARL MARSHAL. A Messenger from the Lords brought up several Bills agreed to by their Lordships ; among others, one to enable the Earl Marshal to fulfil the duties of his office on taking the usual oaths. Lord G. CAVENDISH moved the second reading of the Bill, and expressed himself in terms of the warmest eulogy towards the Noble Duke who was the subject of the Bill. Mr. PEEL expressed his acquiescence in the Bill. Mr. CANNING suggested that the next stage of the Bill should be to-morrow. The Bill was ordered to be committed to-morrow. SOUTH AMERICA. _ _ . Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH presented a Petition from the Chamber of Manufactures and Commerce in Manchester, pray ing the House to recognize the independence of South Ame. rica. The Honourable Gentleman stated that the Petition was. signed at a very numerous and respectabbe meeting, and would have been more so, if it had not been so near the close of the Session. The Petition goes to say, that to withhold any Linger countenance from such a Government, would be im politic in the extreme. It was certain that the independence of South America could not be influenced in any way by any Court in Europe. The Government of England—his Ma jesty's Ministers, were pledged to do so one day or other. On a former night he had endeavoured to shew that it was sanctioned by every principle of justice, and called for by every principle of policy. The trades peopl e of England expected, and they had a right to expect, that the usual protection of the country should be extended to them in their trade. Ile would allude to the gallantry of an officer, of whom we should speak with pride that he was a Briton, and regret that he was no longer a British officer. , Never did he bear of a more gallant action than that of the cutting out of the Esmerahla. He pro voked no discussion—he looked for no answer—but he hoped that his Majesty would be advised to restore Lord Cochrane to the rank he had formerly enjoyed in the British Navy. Mr. IV. SMITH said, that as long as Spain refused to re cognise her ancient provinces, it was necessary for them to know by whom they were recognised. But when she did so, it was of importance no o lon e g h e i r pp w i h n orecognised her.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be - printed. NEGRO SLAVERY. Mr. EV.A NS presented petitions from t h e i n h a bit a nts of Sad. bury, Buckingham, of Lord SEF.TON presented a similar petition from t he B orough g the Slavery. .rdistricts, praying for the gradualStid of Droitwich. bur y o of Abolition Ashley, of Negro f These petitions were severally ordered to be printed. STATE OF IRELAND. Sir F. BURDETT gave notice that he should to.rnorrow submit to the House a motion on the present State of Ireland. Mr. GOULBURN moved that there be laid before the House a copy of the Twelfth Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Fees of Officers, and other mat ters connected with the Courts of Justice in Ireland. —Ordered. Mr. S. RICE brought up the Report of the Committee ou the Suney a nd Valuation of Ireland Bill. —Ordered to be printed. The same Hon. Member moved that there be laid before the House an Account of the number of Informations filed Lefore Magistrates at General or Quarter Sessions in Ireland, and of the number of bills found by Grand Juries in Ireland, for the years 1821, 1 Qu 1821,la1.ter 822 ,_a s n es d si l o 8 n 2 s, 3 ; also an account of the numb er of Civil Bills heard befor e A ss i stant Il arr i s t e rs or Chairmen of for the same period ; also an ac
