Dr. BOWRING arrived from Paris this morning. We are happy to learn that he is he bearer of the ordonnances of the French government by which the prohibition of several articles of British export is removed, such as cotton twist, lace, iron cables, Russian hides, rum, &c. The prohibition is also taken away from the exports of raw silk, skins, &c., and the reduction of the tonnage duties on British ships from 3f. 75c. to If. The Earl of WIcKLOW was pleased to enter the lists last night against the LORD CFIAN CELLOR, and to twit him with having adjourned the House of Peers on the 'preceding evening in a highly irregular and unconstitutional fashion. The Noble Earl was all horror and trepidation on the subject, and seemed to think it a miracle that the -most frightful mischiefs had not resulted from the circumstance of the LORD CHANCELLOR adjourning the House in a whisper, instead of in the key of a Tower gun ! In extenuation of this heinous charge, the Noble and Learned Lord ob served that he had twice uttered the no tice of adjournment in the very loudest and fullest volume of voice that his lungs would al low him to put forth; but, he added, he was not bound to " find ears" for those to whom he was addressing himself—a flattering and appro priate compliment which the Earl of WICK LOW, who " assesses" his own qualifications at a very high rate, cannot but appreciate. The house adjourned at an early hour. Mr. E WAR T deserves great praise for his perseverance in pressing on Parliament the bills for the abolition of capital punishments in certain cases, and for allowing prisoners' counse to address the jury. He has the more merit for the latter, because it had been re peatedly rejected, opposed by the Judges and most law authorities, and described as an un necessary departure from the wholesome and long tried practice of ' English criminal law. It is now admitted by very com petent authorities, and we allude particularly to Mr. POLLOCK, Mr. O'CONNELL, and Lord ALT 0 RP, that the law requires alteration, and hat not unfrequently innocent persons have been convicted, and have suffered the last pu rlishment of the law, -merely because their coun sel could not address the jury. As this cannot be denied, even by Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. SPANKIE, and others, we cannot possibly con ceive on what plea they resist the alteration, unless it be on that old anti-reform doc trine, that " whatever is, is right." Humanity and justice imperatively demand a change, if the law, as it stands, should lead to the convic tion of one innocent person in ten thousand— nay, in ten millions. The absurdity of the old hackneyed phrase, " the Judge is the prisoner's Counsel," now begins to be seen. Even the best and most humane Judges can neither have time nor proper opportunities for defending a prisoner ; and what' chance of fair play has he then from Judges of a different character—' from men who unfortunately have a bias against parti cular classes, aleaning to the unfavourable rather than favourable view of a case, and who not un frequently by their summing up, would force convictions against the inclination of the jury. The existing law is so monstrous that, but for the fact, we would hardly conceive its existence possible in a civilized country. The prosecutor is allowed to make a strong and artful speech, to make an early impression on the minds of the jury_„a i nstafter calling evidence which, to juries as 1 3 0iv . -- trOtsauted, appears to bear out the :high-colour&I ,-;4tatement, the counsel of the • prisoner is not Mowed to say one word to remove the unfairmpression. If such a aw were proposed . in, the present day, it would be denounced from one end of the kingdorii to the other, as an act of the most atrocious in justice and cruelty. Indeed, no member of Parliament who did not wish to be driven out of the pale of society would venture to pro pose such a measure. It could have been introduced only in days of barbarism, and can be defended. only by those that defend every thing that is old, and rotten, and cor rupt. We do not envy the feelings of those who can put the life of an innocent man in competition with expense, or loss of time, or the convenience of a judge. The speech of Lord ALTHORP on the occasion is highly cre ditable to his good sense and humanity, and will be received by the country as another pledge of the determination of Government to abate every thing in the shape of injustice and oppression. In the House of Commons last night, the Labourers' Employment Bill was thrown out by a majority of 80 to 36. We do not at all regret this, for the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill will accomplish all, and more than all, that Sir C. BURRELL'S measure proposed. The committal of the Ministerial Poor Laws Bill was postponed till Friday, when Lord ALTHORP, at the instigation of Mr. Hum E, announced his intention of proposing that certain morning sit tings should be devoted to the consideration of it. Mr. WALLACE brings forward to-night his motion for an Address to his MAJESTY, pray ing that he will be graciously pleased to place the office of Postmaster-General in commission. The motion is founded upon the 19th Report of the Parliamentary Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry. We have made the request before, and we beg leave to make it again, that every person of observation and reflection will put the ques tion to himself, how it happens that in an in dustrious and intelligent country like this, the number of labourers without employment should continue to increase, and that the amount of money unemployed in works of industry should also continue to increase. In proof of the first fact, namely, the increasing number of unem ployed labourers, we referred to the Poor re turns for the years ending the 25th March, 815, and the 25th March, 1832, the return in 1816 showing 5,418,8451. expended upon the relief of the poor in the preceding year, and the return in 1833 showing 7,036,968 expended in the preceding year, being an increase of 1,518,1231. in the intervening seventeen years, notwithstanding that in these seventeen years every article required for the consumption of the poor had fallen nearly one half in price. In proof of the second fact, namely, that money capital not employed in works of industry con- tinues to increase, we referred to the amount of exchequer bills in 1815, which were only 24,500,0001., and these at a discount, and I the amount in the last year, which were 33,750,0001., at a premium exceeding their interest for twelvemonths, and the price of the Three per Cents. in 1815 were 401. per cent. lower than they are now. Our attention has been again drawn to this subject by an abstract of the Poor returns for the year ending in March, 1833, from which it seems at first sight to appear that there is a shade of improvement in the last year, inasmuch as the sums thence appearing to have been ex pended in the relief of the poor are only 6,790,7991., being 246,1691. less than the amount expended in the year ending in March, 1832, but the total sums expended in the year ending in March, 1833, appear to have been 8,739,8811., whereas the total sums expended in the year ending in March, 1832, were only 8,683,4611., so that upon the whole charge of the year there was an increase of 56,2201. It would be very desirable to ascertain the cause of the increase of the County Rates, which have kept pace with the Poor Rates. We believe it will be found to arise in no small degree from the increase of crime, which, again, springs from causes that have tended to increase the Poor Rates. But we request attention to the Abstract of the Poor Returns for the year ending in March 1833, on another account. For the first time a dis tinction is made between the sums levied upon land, and the sums levied upon dwelling houses, mills, and factories, and manorial pro fits, navigations, &c. The total sums levied on land in England amount to 5,110,870/. ; on dwelling-houses, 2,597,956/. ; on mills and factories, 346,771/..; and on manorial profits, navigations, &c., 174,2001. The total sum levied in Wales, . being 376,702/., is smal compared to the total sum levied in England, which is 8,229,798/. ; but a larger portion.in Wales is levied on the land, the amount being :324,020/., while the sums levied on dwelling houses are only 37,3011.; on mills and facto ries, 5,708/. ; and on manorial profits, naviga tion, &c., 9,6731. Some particular counties also furnish flatter of observation. Thus, in Lancashire, where the Poor Rates are the lowest of any county in England, in proportion to the population, the amount levied upon land is 167,681/., and on houses 162,691/. ; on mills and factories, 75,5471., and on manorial rights, navigation, &c., 24,5081. Again, in Sussex, where the Poor Rates have always been the highest in proportion to the population, the amount levied on land is 239,8431., and on houses 67,095/. ; on mills and factories 4,5931., and on manorial rights, navigation, &c., 8,2201. Thus in Lan cashire, where the Poor Rates are the lowest in proportion to the population, the land is the least burdened, and in Sussex, where the Poor rates are the highest in proportion to the po pulation, the land is the most heavily burdened. We advert to these things at present for the purpose of awakening reflection. We wish those who clamour so much against the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill would direct their at tention to the facts of the case. German papers have been received. They mention a rumour of the pregnancy of "the otieeh of DELGIUM. The following are ex tracts : According to a regulation which has lately been adopted, none of the Polish refugees who receive an allowance from the government will henceforth be allowed to reside at Brussels. They will be disyersed in various parts of the kingdom. Those who have means of subsistence may continue to reside at Brus sels as hitherto.

The government had taken the most rigorous measures to repel this invasion, and the troops were described as animated with the greatest enthusiasm." The Courtmartial on Captain PIGOTT was brought to a close last night. The Sentence was passed at half-past Seven o'Clock, which we are happy to learn was to tile following effect :---that Captain PIGOTT was fully acquitted upon all the charges. That the Bth charge was partly proved, but found frivolous. The 12th charge was found to be scandalous and malicious. • After the delivery of the sword to Captain PIGOTT, Sir RICHARD KING, the President, after promulgating the sentence, addressed himself to Captain PIG6TT—" I feel happy in returning to you youir sword, and in expressing my conviction that if ever you have occasion to draw it against the enemies of your King and country, you will so act that it will redound to the honour of both, and also to your own credit. Captain PIGOTT was then warmly congratu lated by his friends. The following is Captain Pigott's defence : " MR. PRESIDENT, AND THE MEMBERS COMPOSING THIS HONOURABLE COURT:-- " I have appeared before you at my own earnest en treaty, to be tried for alleged improper conduct whilst commanding his Majesty's ship the Barham, and being senior officer, at Constantinople, in the early part of the year 1832, in attendance upon his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary to the Sublime Porte. " After the full and patient hearing you have given to all the circumstances bearing upon the extraordinary and vexatious charges brought against me by my prosecutor, Lieutenant Henry Walker (a) formerly commanding his Majesty's steam-vessel the Alban, under my orders in the Bosphorus, charges fraught with malice against me per sonally, and with disrespect to the public service, I hesitate to trouble you with even a single line in the character of a defence ; the facts already in my favour, and such, also, as 1 hope to be able to bring forward from very many highly respectable witnesses, being, as I have no doubt on my mind they will be viewed by the Caurt to be, clear and unquestionable. It is, never theless, right that I should declare to you, Gentle men, that in all my transactions with Lieutenant Walker, I was actuated by a desire alone to insure a strict and cor rect execution of the special and important service con fided to me, and the support of that respect to the British flag, important to be maintained on all occasions, but more particularly at the period mentioned,—looking to our un certain position with the Porte, and to our constant inter course with the foreign ambassadors: resident at Constanti nople; that desire, however, it was Lieut. Walker's unceasing study to oppose to the utmost of his power, by a wilful mis conception of my orders, and constant endeavours to evade them—trying my feelings; likewise, by indirect insults, such as he has repeatedly shown throughout this impartial investigation, but which, with the cordial and correct con duct of the officers I am proud to have had the honour of com manding in the Barham, I had the means of defeating. The very discreditable state, notwithstanding, in which the Alban was still kept called for my marked reprehen sion, and that step has been the cause of the ,vialexit and unjustifiable measures adopted against me. " 1 shall not trouble you, Gentlemen, with any comments upon the evidence adduced in support of the Ist, :Id, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th, and 7th charges, the proofs to be shown by me, in refutation of them, being, as I pro mise myself they will appear to you to be, clear and satis factory ; and being aware that my entering upon addi tional explanation would be taking up your time unneces sarily. ----iitpon the Bth charge, however, I must beg you, gen tlemen, to bear with a few observations from me. In the first place, I have no means of calling upon any one to disprove the assertions of my prosecutor, with regard to the occasional presents sent to the Alban, because nobody was near to us to hear my disappro va l o f hi s h av i ng accepte d t h em, nor myin quiries respecting the money which it was generally under stood had been received by him ; but I do most unhesitat ingly declare, that, with the exception of a few of the prosecutor's very unimportant statements of my conduct towards him, on these points, his assertions are 11(!t founded in truth. I regret being obliged to make this declaration, but the prosecutor has really compelled me to it. " With respect to the accusations of my having con ducted in a partial and an unfair mannerthe inquiry into the misconduct of several men belonging to the Alban, I must entreat your particular attention to the fol lowing facts :—The general insubordination of the Alban's crew was notorious ; it was, therefore, a matter of the greatest moment, not only for the support of that respect due to the British flag which was totally disregarded by the prosecutor and his officers and crew, but for the protection of all our lives, that the glaring misconduct of the parties should be strictly examined, and an immediate example made of the guilty, to pre vent a recurrence of such disgraceful and dangerous scenes as had been represented to me to have taken place in the Sultan's Valley ; for it had been reported to me that there had been drunkenness and fighting amongst them ; that a Turkish officer had been struck by one of them ; and that Turkish women in the Valley had had their veils pulled off their faces ; but on the particular occasion men tioned, James Wiltshire's misconduct appeared to me so positively established in my investigation, that I ordered him to be punished. My decision, however, was strenu ously opposed by Lieutenant Walker, and finding that that officer would not inflict the punishment that had been justly awarded to James Wiltshire, I felt myself under the necessity of giving a written order for the punishment, without viluch Lieut. Walker declared he could not think of carrying it into execution. These, gentlemen, are the facts of the case, which I am sure you will consider to have been sufficiently strong for my justification, if I have deviated from the Admiralty Circular, No. 58, which I submit to you is not the case, as this transaction appeared to me to be one not contemplated by this circular. " I must now mention. that it is highly gratifying to me to be able to call to your recollection, that the pro secutor has wholly failed in proving the desertion al luded to in the graver charges. The other charges and accusations, also, contained in the several letters from the prosecutor have been so minutely inquired into, that no doubt remains with me of their having been answered upon all points to the entire satisfac tion of the Court ; but I may yet have occasion to offer some further information upon the subjects of them. " I am sure, Gentlemen, that I shall be borne out in my assertion, that the total want of respectability of several of the prosecutor's witnesses, has been evident, of Foster, for example, there cannot be the slightest doubt, this man having been turned out of the service with disgrace, prior to his being entered in the Barham, which ' was . not, of course, known at the time, and having been discharged from her, on paying off, as a bad cha racter—the only man of her crew whose disgraceful con duct called for my note to that effect upon his certificate of servitude, and having actually absconded during this trial. " You must be quite aware, gentlemen, that the vile and unmanly paragraphs and garbled statements that have appeared in the daily newspapers, since the trial com menced, have only kept pace with the unwarrantable and infamous reports in circulation in the towns of Sheerness and their neighbourhood. I have taken no pains to con tradict these reports, which the prosecutor must be well aware of. " In further confirmation of the extreme difficulties I had to contend with, in all my transactions with Lieute nant Walker, I may be permitted, perhaps, to allude to this officer's highly disrespectful conduct, even luring this trial, a fact recorded on the minutes ! " I would add, likewise, that I am not the only Captain who has experienced the strong disinclina tion of this officer to obey his superior ; and in support of this assertion, I beg to refer you to the log-book before you, from his Majesty's ship the Stag, for August or September, 1832 off Oporto, when she was commanded by Capt. Sir Thomas Troubridge ; indeed it has been shown, even by the prosecutor's own witnesses, that, in many instances, my orders were totally disregarded by him ; and it is now to be regretted that, through my mistaken lenity towards him, the public service has been ‘ put to so much inconvenience. oYoufw Vice-Admiralerapprised, sir gentlemen, i3uiteney ia thatit ic w om as , the thelate inten tionCommander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, to attend my trial, to give testimony upon several material points. Knowing the importance of this officer's early return to his family in Scotland, after a long absence abroad, I begged he would on no account come to me. He has, in consequence, sent me the annexed letter, which I have thought it right to embrace in this address (corY.) " London, May 19, 1834. "My dear Pigott—l am much obliged to you for dis pensing with my appearance at the courtmartial, as business of considerable importance requires my immediate presence in Scotland ; but I feel it due to you to state how much I was gratified on my passage from Malta in the Barham, by observing her perfect order, and the alacrity and goodwill with which the duties were performed ; and the more particularly so, as I know, from the reports of punishments, with which I had been regu larly furnished during the time that you had been, under my command, and from my own personal observa tion that no undue severity had been exercised, and it was with pleasure I remarked the attention which was paid to the comforts of the men. " Had I not had an imperative call to Scotland, I would have attended to have verified the above statement on oath.—Believe me to be " Yours truly, " PULTENEY MALCOLM. (Signed) Captain Hugh Pigott." " I request your acceptance, Gentlemen, of my best thanks for the patient attention you have been pleased to do me the honour to give to this address, and I beg to add, that I am now perfectly prepared to enter upon the examination of my witnesses. " (Signed) HUGH PIGOTT, Captain." " Courtmartial Room, on board his Majesty's ship Hastings, at Sheerness, May 31, 1834." CAMBRIDGE TOWN ELECTION. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 4.—The most active preparations are making for a spirited contest at this election, which, it is expected, will take place next week, in consequence of the Right lion. T. Spring Rice taking office in the ad ministration, and consequently being required to solicit a re newal of the suffrages of the electors. He will be opposed by his old adversary Sir E. Sugden, who paid his respects to his Tory friends at the Eagle Inn, on Saturday evening last. In his speech, which occupied some time at the balcony, he alluded principally to the division in the cabinet, rela tive to church property, and expressed his determination to uphold the ancient institutions, &c., and his address generally was full of that ancient language with which the ancient Tories are so perfectly conversant. Sir Edward returned to London the next day, but left his committee to " whet their swords" in his absence ; and he again visited them this evening (Wednesday), when lie addressed them at the same place. The Right Honourable T. Spring Rice arrived at the Hoop Hotel last night, and addressed his friends from the window, reserving himself until this evening, when a public meeting took place in the Assembly-room, attended by about 800 persons. The hon. gentleman was loudly cheered when he mounted the platform, and made a most brilliant speech, which would, in detail, far extend the limits of a hurried communication. He stated that it was under circumstances • of no common feeling that he appeared before his constituents, in the first place, with a deep sense of the obligations he had received from them, and, in the next place, it was on one of the most important occasions which could possibly require him to address them. He could not expect that in a meeting like the present they could be all of one opinion but, on the . contrary, in an intelligent town like Cambridge, where there existed numerous minds anxiously watching the conduct of their representatives, it was impossible that they could be unanimous in their opinion of his conduct. (Cheers.) He then entered into an explanation of his political conduct during the last two years, alluding to the various important enactments which had taken place in that period, particularly the reduction of taxes, the abolition of negro slavery, the Corporation Commission, and last, though not the least important, his vote on the pension list. In mentioning the latter, he took occasion to refute a calumny which had been industriously circulated, alleging that he had for feited a promise originally made upon the hustings, but he referred them to a report in a newspaper which he held in his hand, of his speech on that occasion, wherein he stated, " That he would endeavour to check abuses, as far as he could ; but he would not mingle with future reforms any vindictive feelings in• reference to the past." That statement was made in answer to an elector—he gave him his honest opinion, and he lost his vote. (Cheers.) His conduct was before them, and they could not accuse him of saying one thing upon the hustings, and another in Parliament • nor had he acted thus to throw a shield o ver unmer i te d pensions, but rather to maintain the faith of that government which had now brought in a bill to prevent pensions being granted except in cases of public service. His principles had been imbibed at the Un iversity of Cambridge, and he trusted he should always pursue the straightforward course of which those principles formed the ground-work. The right honourable gentleman spoke at some length in reference to the Dissenters, expressing himself a true Churchman, but willing, at all times, to protect the religion of those who differed from him, at the same time hoping they would not blame him for a steady adherence to that faith in which he had received his earliest sentiments of religion. He concluded amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, and seemed fully confident of his success in the approaching contest. The large amount of 4 per Cent. stock on which dissent has been given, and the peculiar circum stances in which it is placed, by obtaining a preference in the market over stock on which assent has been given s i t n o e t s h s e in r e i d t c a t n io n, da 1 ave led departure to from considerable the rule extent hereto fore observed at the Bank on similar occasions. It was the practice heretofore, and it was at first the wish of Lord Althorp to adopt it on this occasion, to follow the stock in the order of dissent, each portion of it being numbered and transferred with its number, which was easily done when the amount of dissent was small and the transfers few, but the difficulty of this course was, it is said, soon made apparent. It was al leged that it would prove nearly impossible, on account of the great extent of business done in the dissented stock, to get through it all, if this arrangement was persisted in, and thus the holders of the dissented 4 per Cents, who have a right, like the rest of the stock holders, derived from an act of Parliament, of making what transfers they please, would lose a market for their stock in effect, as purchasers would not be easily found if they had any impediments to encounter in the re-transfer. These considerations have induced, as we are informed, the abandonment of the old plan, and transfers of dissented stock will consequently take place in the same manner and with the same facility as any other stock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, HOUSE 'OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock. Mr. J. MAXWELL brought up the report of the com mittee upon the Lanarkshire Roads Bill, and also moved the third reading of the Wiahaw Railway Bill, which was read a third_tirne!.nd passed. Mr. WALTER presented a petition against the Kings close Enclosure The Marquis of CHANDOS presented a petition from Taunton, in the county of Somerset, against the Great Western Railway Bill. Lord LOWTHER moved the third reading of the Kendal Tithes Bill, which was read a third time and passed. Lord M. HILL brought up the report of the committee upon the Newry Roads Bill. Col. SEALE moved the third reading of the Dartford Roads Bill, which was read a third time and passed. Mr. HAWES brought up the report of the committee upon the Southwark Water Works Bill. Sir A. AGNEW brought up the report of the commit tee upon the Selkirkshire Roads Bill. Mr. S. LEFEVRE brought up the report of the com mittee upon the Kingsclose Enclosure Bill. Mr. WALTER opposed the bringing up of the report, on the ground that no compensation was allotted to the poor from the loss of commonage, and because the entire poor population of the parish was opposed to the bill. The hon. member referred to evidence taken before the com mittee, to show that this bill would be highly injurious to the intereas of the poor of the parish, who had a right of commonage, and were about 196 in number. The passing of the bill would have the effect of throwing the families of those persons, who were now in a great measure supported by the common, upon the parish. For these reasons he felt bound to oppose this bill. The hon. member concluded by moving that the report, with the amendments, be read a second time this day six months. Mr. S. LEFEVRE contended that that house was always attentive to the rights of the poor, and in no in stance could they show the deep interest they took in their poor fellow-subjects' welfare than in passing such bills as the present. Notwithstanding the opposition offered to it by the honourable member for Berkshire, he (Mr. Lefevre) was ready to maintain that this bill was of the greatest service to the 196 poor families who had a right of commonage. They would have a portion of this common enclosed for them without any expense, and free from tithe. (Hear, hear.) He was ai anxious as any man to support the rights of the poor, and to advance their in terests, and he thought he was doing so in the most effec tive manner in giving his most strenuous support to the present bill. Mr. H. HUGHES agreed with the hon. member for Berkshire in the view which he had taken of this bill, as there was no clause in it by which the 196 poor families, whose interests were interfered with, would be com pensated for the loss they would sustain by the enclosure of this common. Col. CONOLLYsupported the bill, and contended that the committee had paid the strictest attention to the rights of the poor under this enclosure bill. He was at a loss to know how much more they could do for them than they had done. And after the best consideration, he was convinced that the rights of the poor were most sedu lously attended to, and for that reason he would support the b.ll. _ Mr. F. 0 CONNOR opposed this bill, and wished to remind the house that 170 of those who w ere i n t eres t e d i n the bill had petitioned against it, there being only 26 in favour of it. Mr. GISBORNE said, that if the opposition to this enclosure bill were to prevail, there would be an end to all enclosure bills. (Hear, hear.) What would then become of the four millions of acres of waste lands in England? They would lie uncultivated, and the labourers would be obliged to emigrate, to cultivate the waste lands of other countries. He. knew from practical observation, that the poor in the neighbourhood of commons were generally in a more destitute state than in any other situation, and for these reasons he would stp)ort the Major BEAUCLERK denied that all enclosures were beneficial to the poor ; it might be so in many cases, but he had known many instances in the counties of Surrey and Sussex, in which enclosures had been most destructive to the rights and amusements of the poor. He thought that the present bill was one for the rich and not for the poor, and he would therefore oppose it. Sir H. HARDINGE took a quite different view of the bill from that taken by the last speaker, and he felt convinced, after attending carefully to the evidence taken before the committee, that this bill would greatly benefit the poor of the parish. lie con tended that thr, inhabitants of the parish were in favour of this bill,-40 rate-payers and 200 cottagers had petitioned in favour of it. For these reasons, he hoped the house would not throw out this bill, as the effect of their doing so would be to put an end to all enclosure bills. Mr. R. WA SON opposed the bill on the ground that it made a wide distinction between the rich and the poor in the manner in which the land was allotted. Mr. PEASE said he should vote for the amendment. Mr. GODSON wished to know whether a man, who held his estate by possession, which was the best right in the world, was to be left to the mercy of a commission in the shape of a trustee? Was there to be one law for the rich and another for the poor ? Suppose a deed could be procured, why was the poor man to be put to the expense and trouble of any such proceedings ? He thought the house NN ould never support the principle of this bill. Mr. BLACKBUINE said . the clause was a most ex traordinary one ; for while it gave an estate to the person and his heirs, it refused to suffer him to assign it ; and the moment•he erected any building upon it, in came the commissioner and barred him out. Mr. S. LEFEV ttE replied, and the gallery was cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the original motion Against it Majority against the bill Lord ALTifOR - P presented a petition from East More ton, and other places in Northampton, in favour of the established church. Mr. CA RTw RIGHT supported the petition. Lord MILTON said that if the legislature, on the show ing of the dissenters, had the right to control the univer sities and church property, he could not see why they should complain if the legislature thought proper to maintain the Established Church. He would support the reasonable claims of dissenters, but certainly would never consent to any measure that would result in the separation of church and state. (Hear.) Sir H. HARDINGE said he was glad to hear the 'Ole Chancellor of the Exchequer say it was necessary to maintain the connection of church and state, but could not reconcile that declaration with the noble lord's conduct towards the Irish church. Lord ALTHORP explained. Mr. SHAW said the commission recommended by the noble lord was calculated to produce the separation of Church and State in Dublin, that it would set a price upon the heads of Protestants and make them marked men, and it was a measure Di all others calculated to injure the Irish Church and all belonging to it. Mr. FlNNagreed that inquir) into the state of the Irish d C e h se u r r t c e h d , w t o h u e ld pe in o j p u le re w i i t t , h o fo u r t t p as w; would ors, the discover well - t p he a ai d p e r l i e s r h g e y s without flocks, and the churches without worship. Mr. RUTH YEN agreed with the learned recorder of Dublin that this measure would produce mischief, inas much as it would array Protestants and Catholics in hostile aspect towards each other. Mr. LEFROY said a fair inquiry would do no harm, but it would lie impossible to obtain one in a country r h re the Catholics overwhelmed the Protestants by n .t.G u h m eEi b Nr e Eo r ßa s. tAhLs ADVOCATE we T re he in L tr o od it u n cedbysir G. a p nd Hl tLie ir li s, T an TO d tt N to r o l k ' and seats.
