ministers they may consider necessary to meet the pious intentions of her majesty, which are— " 1. That all Spaniards receive abundant spiritual care and consolation. " 2. That the ministers of God, charged with the cure of souls, receive with perfect independence that ample reward which their elevated situation and their character of pro tectors of the poor, of widows, and orphans, demand. " 3. That in the respective districts prebendaries shall reside, charged to watch, as the eyes of the prelate, over its flock and its pastors. " 4. That the chapters be the effective senate of thepre lates, and the remuneration of good and long services of the pastoral ministry, and other services rendered to the church. " 5. That the bishops may be enabled to visit and re medy the wants of the diocese. " 6. That the convocation of the metrepolitan sees be arranged according to the distance, by way of lightening the burden, which would otherwise fall heavily on the rev. archbishops, and to facilitate the hearing of appeals or otherwise. _ _ . " 7. That every effort be made to make the ecclesias tical and civil division of territory harmonize with each other, that they may assist each other reciprocally. "8. That all simple benefices be suppressed which are not hereditary ; their revenues to be applied, as far as ne cessary, to the salaries of curates, their coadjutors, and the building of churches, &c. "9. That all those who serve curacies, of whatever de nomination, be enrolled in those parishes which may be considered best, allotting to them the employment of con fessors, and teaching the catechism, as may be best for the public service. " 10. That the law respecting the incompatibility of be nefices and ecclesiastical prebendaries, so strongly recom mended by the holy canons, be carried into effect. 11. That the chapters and other collegiate bodies be organized in such manner that, without laying aside the splendour and decorum of divine worship, the individuals who compose them shall at all times lend an active ana un interrupted service to the faithful. " 12. If in any diocese there should not be an ecclesi astical seminary, means must be taken for the re-establish ment of some, as well in the diocese to be created as in those districts in which it may be thought expedient they shall be erected as soon as possible, giving them in charge to persons eminent in sanctity and learning, to be selected from among the parochial clergy who have proved them selves to be worthy of the trust, and of unequivocal attach ment to the imprescriptible rights of Donna Isabel 11., and that none unpromoted obtain holy orders, whatever be the rights which might be given to him by the presentation of the patrons, the patronage of the Crown included, with out proving that he had resided some time in the seminary, and obtained a certificate of competency in the teaching of Christian morality—rites, ceremonies, &c., including the preliminary studies of Latin and philosophy at least, which must be learned in the public courses of study which have been approved of. " 13. That the convents of mendicant friars, by consti tution or rule, keep a just proportion with the real necessi ties of the respective dioceses, in order to discharge the duties of assistants. " 14. That the convents of monks offer, according to the real nature of their institution, in those places that may be judged expedient, an asylum to true piety and reli gious contemplation. ~ NICOLAS GARELLY. " Madrid, April 22." " Anxious to facilitate the salutary and prudent reforms of the regular clergy, which I hope may be accomplished by the enlightened zeal of the ecclesiastical junta created by my decree of this day, I have thought proper, in the name of my beloved daughter Donna Isabel 11., that the admis sion of novices into the convents of the kingdom be for the present suspended, reserving to myself the power of admis sion, should it be solicited by the generals, prelates of the different orders, and should the good of the church and state imperiously demand such a measure. " Signed by the Royal hand in Aranjuez, April 22. " To Don Nicolas A. Garelly." SWITZERLAND. ZURICH, MAY 3,—The new Zurich Gazette has the following article :—" Seven notes gave been received in reply to an answer of the directing Canton of 18th March. The note of Sardinia is again the most ur gent in its demands, and the most energetic in its lan guage. It requires that Switzerland, like France, shall call to account all persons who took part in the incursion into Savoy, shall expel the foreigners, and punish the native subjects. In case the foreigners should not have quitted the Swiss territory by the end of May, the Sardinian Government threatens the most rigorous measures—to check all intercourse even with those Cantons with which Sardinia has been on the most friendly terms. Sardinia also proposes restric tions on the Press in Switzerland. The Russian and Prussian notes second the demands and wishes of Sar dinia respecting foreigners, but are drawn in less threatening terms, and in a milder tone, than the former ones. The notes of Austria, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and Baden, complain that their remonstrances and wishes have not been attended to, and also fix the last day of May as the time at which Switzerland must be cleared of all foreigners who took part in the Savoy ex pedition, otherwise the Governments concerned will be, though unwillingly, under the disagreeable necessity of adopting measures in common to subject their inter course with Switzerland, the importation and exporta tion of all goods, and the trade through the States, to the most rigorous restrictions. Baden mentions the great extent of its frontier towards Switzerland, which exposes it to the intrigues of the agitators, and the expense of maintaining a cordon of troops. Wirtem- Lerg represents the connection between the expedition of the Poles last year and the riots at Frankfort as notoriously proved, and, agreeing with the other notes, requires the expulsion of all those who have come hither with a view of disturbing the tranquillity of ' other countries contiguous to Switzerland, or who are any way implicated in the riots at Frankfort. The directing Canton has resolved to leave these seven notes unanswered for the present, but to communicate others to the governments of several cantons, and wait for their answers. It is probable that no answer will be given to them till the decision of the Canton of Berne with respect to the Poles shall be known. The directing Canton abides by the resolution of sending Away those only who took part in the expedition to Savoy, and to assert for all the others who reside ii4ietiy in Switzerland the right of asylum in its fullest extent."—Frankfort German Papers, May 7. Lord Munster has engaged a house at Dover I as a s ,unmer residence.

PARIS THEATRICALS. —Antony, a drama, written by Alexandiz4 Dumas, came out some time ago at the Theatre Francais, at Paris ; it was subsequently played at the Porte St. Martin, and, indeed, all over France. It was lately revived at the Theatre Fran cais, but has been prohibited by M. Thiers, who has contrived to add to the functions of Minister of the Interior the superintendence of the theatres, which, before the recent modification of the Ministry, apper tained to the office of Minister of Public Instruction. Some situations and sentiments considered offensive to pure taste and delicacy are assigned as the cause of the interdict, which has made a great noise in the theatrical world of Paris and in the Journal des Debats, the Constitutionnel, and other papers of that capital devoted to theatrical criticism. Madame Dor val, who had played, and was to play, the part of An tony, is highly indignant at this interruption. The director of the theatre complains loudly, and M. Alexandre Dumas, the author of the piece thus disho noured, has remonstrated in such angry terms that a duel between him and M. Thiers was seriously appre hended by their respective friends. PARIS RACES.—Yesterday the races in tne Champ de Mars were well attended. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours ho noured them with their presence, accompanied by their suites ; they appeared gratified. Emulation exists in a greater degree than has been known hitherto, and must finally be productive of the happiest results, as regards the improvement of the breed of horses in this country. The 3 yrs. old prizes of 1,2.00 fr., once round the course (heats) was won by M. Fasquel's b. f. Harlette, 3 yrs. old, carrying 1011bs, rode by John Mizen, beating Mr. Brown's b. c. Waxy. The fourth prize of 3,000 f., once round the course (heats), for horses of all ages, was won by Lord Henry Sey mour's Fra Diavolo, carrying 1131 b., beating Count Castellane's Frederick Alfort, M. Rieussec's b. m. Georgina and Helena, four years. Frederick Alfort and tlelena were distanced in the second heat ; Georgina was drawn. Fra Diavolo continued round the course and claimed the race. The fifth prize of 5,0001., twice round the course (heats), was won by M. Rieussec's c. h. Hercule, beating Lord Seymour's b. m. Miss Annette. The cups will be run for on Sanday.—Galipani of Friday.

The majority of Friday night, the most over whelming by which .any great measure of na tional improvement has been carried through any of its more important stages within our remembrance, places the fate of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill beyond all peril. And many are the instructive lessons which a Ministry capable of profiting by experience may derive from this brilliant instance of successful daring. Ministers have set themselves an admirable example ; let us horric- that they will follow it ; let it not be lost upon themselves, as it cer tainly will not upon others. The spirit in which this measure was conceived forms a most striking contrast to that of ordinary politicians. They have been moved to exertion by the mere magnitude of the evil to be remedied, without waiting till it was clamorously urged upon their no tice from without. Having resolved to do something, they really gave their minds to the consideration, not of the floating opinions which they might be able to collect upon the subject, but of the subject itself ; and asked themselves, not what measure was most likely to meet with general acceptance, but what re medy was best adapted to the nature and ex tent of the disease. Further (and to this, next to the goodness of their cause, they are most indebted for their success), while the subject was still under investigation, they took mea sures for informing the public mind. The facts and reasonings which were to form the basis of their own conviction, they laid before the nation at large, and supplied to all per sons who took an interest in the ques tion the means of acquiring a very com petent knowledge of it before they com menced legislating. Having thus laid the foundation of what governments hitherto have so seldom known the value of—a rational and enlightened public judgment—they, with a manly confidence in that judgment, dared to propose all that they clearly saw to be indis pensable. They came forward with no truck ling half-measure, but threw themselves upon the intelligence of the country, and claimed support simply on the ground of deserving it, and the result is the most signal triumph. Let this be an example to them of what enters so little into the calculations of vulgar statesmen —the vast power, in the present state of the world, of truth and reason. That power is singularly underrated, which is the less astonishing as it is so seldom tried. That knaves should not know how to estimate it can surprise no one. But the multitude of well-meaning persons who prefer any means of influencing the people rather than a direct appeal to their rea son, and place their trust anywhere rather than in strong argument strongly stated, is wonderful and lamentable. If the success of poor law reform could cure either Whigs, Tories, or Radicals, of this weakness, it would be the beginning of a new era in the greatness of England, and in the civilization of the world. What is now of importance is, that Minis ters should stand firm, and resist any mutilation of the measure in passing through the com mittee. There may be room for amendment in some of the minor details ; and the great principles of the measure may be considered as safe. IThe only danger is, that under the appearance I , of a triflin g alteration in the details; the enemies of the Bill may succeed in slipping in some ! thing which may clog the main wheels of the machinery. I The point which it is of most importance to I protect is the very one which has been most assailed—the powers of the Central Board ; a more ridiculous clamour than the outcry against this Board, coming, as it does, from persons who admit the existing evils to be unbearable, we never remember to have met with. All at , tempts to reform the pauper system by laws, without some person to look after their execu tion, is visionary. How did the abuses come in ? Not for want of laws ; for it is notorious that all the practices which have brought on the present intolerable evils, were, from the commencement, and have at all times been, illegal. Declare them so once more, and what will be the effect ? Perhaps another hundred parishes in the whole country will follow the example of the hundred, or thereabouts, who have already reformed their administration. In all the others the same mo tives which have introduced the abuses will cause their continuance, and the progress of ruin will scarcely be retarded, much less stopped. Whatever laws you enact, if you wish them to be obeyed, you must create a special authority, with.power to examine whether they are obeyed or not, and to enforce obedience, and this is literally all the power which the bill confers upon the Central Board. The discretionary au thority which has been so much declaimed against goes to nothing but the power of tem pering in the application, or altogether dispensing with, those rules, which, if there was no such power, must be peremptorily enforced in all places, and under all circumstances. For instance, the fundamental principle of all poor law reform is, that relief to the able bodied shall, except in peculiar cases, be given only in the workhouse. The bill accordingly says, that the Board may compel parishes to enlarge their workhouses, and if they do not voluntarily consent, may tax them to the extent of one-tenth of one year's rates for that purpose. Therefore we have an outcry as if heaven and earth were coming together ; one journal talks of " bashaws," another of the " star chamber." Meanwhile, how stands the obvious reason of the case ? That if the bill had not done this, it must itself have ordained that every parish must provide a workhouse adequate to con tain the whole of its pauper population. The discretion of the Boardis positively nothing but a power to mitigate those pecuniary and other obligations which the law must otherwise have imposed in their fullest extent upon the whole kingdom, without any exception, or con sideration of local circumstances. Again, the Board has power, by the provi sions of the bill, to determine whether any and what relief shall be given to able-bodied persons not resident in the workhouse. The necessity of putting an end to out-door relief, as a general rule, is so clearly demonstrated, both by theory and experience, that the most violent opponents of the .measure go no further than to say that the rule ought not to be inflexible, and that a latitude must be given. A latitude, then, is given, but as the parish authorities are altogether unfit to bdttrusted with it, the legislature, supposing it to be at albin earnest in desiring poor-law refornOolf there were no Central_Boßrd, have: no'arsice bit to prohibit out-door relief altogether. Yet. so contemptibly ignorant is the clamour, that the very persons who accuse the bill, even as it now stands, of harshness, are the same 'The/ inveigh against the, power created expressly for the purpose of moderating its harsher provisions, whenever it is not found necessary to.enforce them strictly. We trust the Ministry will not give ear to Mr. HAWES'S suggestion of what he calls a tri bunal of appeal. Appeals are on questions of fact, or on questions of law, not on questions of expediency ; there cannot be an appeal against a regulation. If a body were constituted with power to review and set aside the regulations of the Central Board, that body could only be ano ther Central Board, and instead of one " trium virate" there would be two, one to watch the other. We have not two treasuries, or two admiralties, one to act, and the other to look on and stop the first when it does wrong. There is no need of paying two sets of officers. to share the responsibility between them. Responsibi lity to Parliament and public opinion is the only check it is possible to have upon either, and that check can only be weakened, or rather annihilated, by being divided. We understand that his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND embarked on Saturday, with Lord GEORGE LENNOX, for Boulogne, in the Ferret, Captain HAMILTON, with the intention of proceeding to Paris, to arrange definitively some matters connected with the mails and post offices between the two countries. Any arrange ment that may tend to facilitate the intercourse between France and England, cannot but be attended with the most beneficial effects. It cannot be in better hands than those of the Duke of RICHMOND. Lord ALTIIORP received the deputation of Dissenters on Saturday. His Lordship ex pressed his regret that the measure he had pro posed did not meet the views of the deputation, and promised to give their representations his most serious consideration. The onlyinfonnation of any public interest in the German papers, received to-day, is the follow ing from Munich, April 30:—The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of the 28th ult., adopted, by a majority of 96 to 1, the proposed law for granting to the inhabitants of the Greek Church the same civil and political rights as are enjoyed by the Catholics, Lutherans, and Calvinists. VIENNA, MAY 1.-Five per Cent., Metalliques, 99 ; Four per Cent. , 88.1 ; Bank Shares, I,26o.—Allge meine Zeitung, May 6. The French papers of Saturday, and the date of Sunday, and letters from Madras and Constantinople, have reached town. The Chamber of Peers are still engaged with measures relative to the late disturbances. Some trades' unionists, to the number of 22, have been arrested and sent to prison. The Patriot de la Cote d' Or gives the names of fourteen sub-officers of the 52d Regiment who have been disgraced and punished, in conse quence of their connection with republicans. The Municipal Council of St. Amand, having refused to vote money for the wounded soldiers and the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers killed in the late disturbances, has been dissolved. The Turkish squadron had not sailed from Samos on the 15th. The report of Don CARLOS' embarkation for England is not confirmed by letters received to the 3d. On the contrary, it was then re ported that Don CARLOS contemplated an in vasion of Spain on the south of the Tagus. The loan had not been contracted for. We have not room to-day for comments on the proceedings of the Holy Alliance with re spect to Switzerland. The poor Poles are not to be allowed to live in any part of Europe, if , that can be prevented. If they were exter minated, would that ease the consciences of those who have robbed them of their country ? An express has arrived in the city from Ply mouth, with the news that the African steam boat has come from Lisbon with Government despatches, announcing that Don MIGUEL has accepted terms, and is coming to England in the Stag frigate. All, therefore, is settled in Portugal. The Portuguese Bonds have im proved 1 per cent. _ _ _ Another correspondent states, that the Stag frigate was preparing to take Don MIGUEL on board. A royal decree, dated the 22d of April, has been issued at Aranjuez, appointing a com mission of ten bishops and four laymen to look into the present state of the Spanish church, and propose such reforms in it as have become necessary, in consequence of its numerous and long neglected abuses. This commission is instructed to inquire into, and report on, the ecclesiastical divisions and establishments of Spain ; to state their numbers, their extent, and the population in each ; to specify the per sons by whom they are served ; the duties those persons have to perform ; the amount of their revenues, whence derived, and how dis distributed : in short, to give the statistics of the Spanish church. The object of the com mission is to improve the discipline of the church, to enforce residence, to abolish sine cures, and put an end to pluralities. Every clergyman is to have a suitable provision out of the present income of the church, and though no part of it, as far as we understand, is to be applied to secular purposes, a portion is to be devoted to the repair of churches, and to the establishment and improvement of the semi naries destined for the education of ecclesiastics; monasteries, agreeably to their original institu tion, are to be reserved as places of asylum for the pious, learned, devout, recluse, and sincere. penitents ; but the number of mendicant friars is to be regulated, and novices are not to be admitted into convents, whether of mendi- can04.15r , .41;19nk5, without special permission. From the diameter of the Commissioners, the known sincerity of their religious opinions, and from their earnestness and zeal for reform, much benefit is expected froin'their appoint ment. Application will be made to the POPE for such reforms as by the constitution of the itipiish Church require his sanction and appro bation. Why have we still to say to the Church of England, " Go thou and do likewise ?" Some of her members might be better employed in suggesting reforms within her walls than in writing virulent pamphlets from Oxford, not more abhorrent from the mildness, humility, and charity Christianity was meant to incul cate, than disgraceful to their authors, for the vain and besotted ignorance they betray on the relation in which they stand to their masters. Madame Tussaud terminates her season of six months in a fortnight, at the Bazaar, Gray's Inn road, which during that period has been frequented by thousands of admiring visiters. Those who have not seen this exhibition can form no idea of its merits, as wax figures in general convey any thing but pleasurable emotions ; but in this particular the novelty is, that Madame Tussaud has succeeded in rendering her col lection highly interesting to the lovers of the arts, and, as a spectacle, one of the most magnificent in the metropolis, and certainly the most instructive to youth. The sentence of the courtmartial on Lieut. Alcock, of the Royal Artillery, who was tried in Dub lin in February last, on charges connected with money transactions, has just been promulgated, to the effect that he is guilty on those charges, and the court ad judged that he be dismissed his Majesty's service ; but, in consideration of his large family and destitute con dition, recommended him to his Majesty's considera tion. His Majesty, after confirming the sentence, in accordance with the recommendation of the court, has extended his pardon to the prisoner. FEMALE TAILORS.-011 Saturday after noon the neighbourhood of Cheapside was crowded to excess in consequence of the exhibition of a dress coat at a tailor's shop opposite Bow Church, with a public announcement that it had been made by a woman. The curious in matters of this description pronounced the workmanship to be excellent ; the collar in parti cular attracted the attention of the learned ; this part of coat-making having been hitherto considered one of those mysteries which could only be achieved by men tailors. The coat was marked at a lower price than ordinary ; and among the crowd several of the refrac tory tailors were observed, who appeared any thing b u t satisfied with the exhibition. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—This monstrous absurdity is fast dying a natural death, and it is scarcely possible it can outlive the present week from the impossibility of finding funds to keep the idlers even in a state of bare existence. The allowance first promised was los. per man, but it was with diffi culty this sum was raised even at the end of the first week. The next week the allowance was reduced to 7s. 6d., and of this pittance only a moiety was paid on the Saturday night, and the remainder in the c ourse o f the week. Numbers, in consequence, seceded from the Union, and very many more are only restrained from so doing by a cowardly fear of being waylaid and maltreated. In order to quiet the clamour the ruling tyrants found it necessary so far to relax their rules as to allow of the men working at home for their private connections. This concession opens so wide a door for collusion as to amount to almost a virtual abandon ment of the " strike." On last Saturday night not a penny of the promised 75. 6d. was forthcoming, although the men were kept waiting till half-past one o'clock in the morning at their lodges. They were at last dismissed with an assurance that there was plenty of money, but it could not be got in till Monday, and that on 'Tuesday they should all be paid. The scene at the lodges was truly painful, wives with their chil dren waiting in anxious hope of getting a trifle to market with. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY. (FROM LLOYD'S.)

By the Ajax, arrived at Liverpool, from New York, it which place she left on the 18th April, appears that the contest for the mayor , alde rmen, and civic officers of that city, had terminated, after one of the most extraordinary struggles on record, in favour of the anti-Jacksonian party, and there is now a majority of 3 or 4 in the corporation decidedly opposed to the executive government.

At the former election the Jacksonian can didate carried the day by a majority of between four and five thousand. Business of every kind was stagnant in New York. Extract of a letter from Rio Janeiro of the 22d February, received this morning:—" Stock 53, and firm ; Exchange 40 to 40 1 A. Although there have been some disturbances at Rio Grande they have been suppressed, after securing some of the ringleaders. We do not attach much im portance to this affair.

TILE FUNDS. The only arrival we have of any consequence this morning is the express from Paris, which states that, ac cording to accounts from Madrid of the 3d inst., nothing certain had transpired respecting the Spanish loan, and the general belief was, that none of the tenders would be accepted. A report prevailed in Paris, that some dis 4443ances took place at Madrid on the 2d instant, is was discredited ; also that Don Carlos eon finiffiated an invasion of Spain to the south of the Tagus ; bit the most important part of the express is, that France has intimated to the powers of the Holy Alliance that she will not suffer any act of aggression on Switzerland.

In deed, according to all accounts it appears that nothing will be done with the Cortes' Bonds until the meeting of the Cortes, and when that will take place is as yet uncer ain. We have no doubt that in the interim the Spanish Go vernment have provided a certain sum of money to go on with until the meeting of the Cortes. In consequence of this uncertainty Spanish Bonds have lowered, and have been done at 36 I/ 8 ; Portuguese 78. Consols opened at 92 5 / 43 for the Account. HALF-PAST ONE. The accounts received this morning from Madrid, state the cause of the Spanish loan being put off to be owing to the Spanish government having received the treaty ; and that they were anxious to have the credit of the Spanish nation put upon a par with others, which they could not accomplish without paying their old debts ; in consequence of which, they were determined to have a further delibera tion on the subject of paying the Cortes bonds. Consols continue to improve, done at 92% for the Account. Spanish and Portuguese Stocks are better than in the earlier part of the morning ; the former are 36i 4, and the latter 78 3 /.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The splen did gardens of this society, at Chiswick, were on Sa turday thrown open for the season, and a host of beauty and fashion thronged its charming walks and lawns, gazing with delighted eyes at the beauties of nature here collected from all parts of the world, and listening to the music of the military bands stationed in the garden. We are sorry to say that trade in this town is exceedingly bad. This state of things is, no doubt, considerably aggravated by the ruin and devastation in America, occasioned by the President Jackson's tam pering with the currency.—Birmingham Journal.

During a storm which raged on Tuesday afternoon, a shepherd at Neuville, near Montreuil, on the road to Calais, was killed by lightning. His leathern coat, which on account of the rain must naturally have been on his back, was carried to a con siderable distance from him, but did not show the least mark of having been burnt or injured. \Vc understand that a singular and exceed ingly important question will occupy the attention of the early sittings of the next General Assembly. It is, whether those who have declared themselves opposed to the alliance of Church and State can be permitted to take their seats as members of the Supreme Court of the National Establishment of Scotland. An old Quaker, on being asked by a church man why he did not conform, replied—Friend, I will never belong to the church, because, according to thine own testimony, it is always in danger.

He first obtamen gratuity, then and thirdly, another living and be came a pluralist, and thirdly, he became a non-resident. ( Hear.) Such a bill could not, in common justice, be entertained by the house. Mr. ESTCOURT said, in 1830 a gratuity of 4 0 ° guineas, and in 1821 one of 300 guineas, were granted to the rector. He was called a non-resident because he lived only six doors out of the parish. The whole amount of his yearly income was 4601., out of which he had to pay his curate 1501. per year, for which he ought to be extolled. observations iii --------- Mr. HILL spoke in favour of the amendment. Mr. HALC OM B supported the second reading of the bill- Mr. METHUEN would oppose the second reading. Mr. AGLIONBY opposed the second reading, because the bill went to sanction the principles of non-residence and pluralities. GOULBURN said Parliament had deprived the he rector of this parish of a sufficient provision, which would have received under Mr. Marshall's will had Par liament not interposed.
