Zbtand LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1834. In the House of Lords last night a long and inte resting discussion arose on the bastardy clause in the .Poor Laws' Amendment Bill. The Bishop of EXETER moved an amendment to the effect, , 4 that the illegitimate child shall be maintained at the mu tual expense of the father and mother, and that no parish shall be bound to support such child while either parent is able to do so." On a division, there was only a majority of ono in favour of the original clause, and we are not at all surprised at it, for the difference between the amendment and the clause, as altered in the Commons, is so trifling, that Noble Lords must have had some difficulty in making their choice. Ac cording to the Bill, as it now stands, the mother is compelled to maintain the child, if she have the means, with the power, as at present on her part, or on the part of her parents, of bringing an action for seduction or loss of services. If she is not able, then on ap plication to the parish, she can compel the father to make provision for it. The only difference, in fact, is rather in principle than in practice, for in 99 cases out of 100 the mother has not the means to support the child, and the expense, therefore, must ultimately fall on the father or the parish. In prin ciple the proposition of the Bishop of EXETER is by far the most just and consistent. The other, namely, that which imputed all the blame, and threw all the expense on the mother, could be palliated only on the ground of expediency, and as the more likely means of checking immorality. That, however, is only a matter of opinion, and when opinions are so balanced as in a case of this kind, that decision is the safest which leans to the side of justice. If the law exonerates the father of all responsibility for the main tenance of the child, it is as clear as any problem de monstrated in EUCLID, that it thereby holds out an encouragement to vice on the part of the man, and throws all the hardship and all the suffering on the woman, under the mistaken notion that these will be sufficient to prevent her from yielding to her seducer. Women of this description are not much influenced by the dictates of prudence, and will be led astray, as they have hitherto been, by promises- of marriage, or hopes of protec tion, while they know that by the law of the land their children cannot be left to starve. As a question of mere expediency, we should therefore doubt the effi cacy of the principle ; but as to its injustice, there can be•not the slightest doubt. By the universal law of nature both parents, guided either by reason or instinct, pro tect and support their offspring. By law the husband must provide for his children, and with what justice, 'then, in a case of bastardy, can one of the parties be made the only sufferer while both are equally to blame ? The mind naturally revolts at the principle. Every man with a particle of feeling and any sentiments of justice considers himself as much bound to support his illegiti mate as his legitimate offspring —nay, many consider the claims of the former still stronger, because, through in discretion and immorality, they have been the means of bringing into the world children on whom . , without any fault of theirs, a stigma remains through life, and for whom, whatever may be the wealth or rank of the parent, provision can be claimed from the estate only sufficient to save them from starvation. As a matter of justice— o f mercy, and even of expediency, we contend that the seducer should be made to suffer for his crime, and we are convinced that if the abstract principle, as originally proposed, had been passed into an Act, there would have been one universal feeling of disapprobation against a law which would have entailed all the shame —all the suf fering, and all the expence on the woman, while her heartless seducer would have been left comparatively unpunished. It is only justice, however, to say that the amendthent carried by Mr. MILES in the Com mons has gone far to remedy the evil. The speech of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in the House of Lords last night, on bringing up the report of the Committee on the Bribery Bill, will be hailed throughout the country as opening a prospect of the adoption of a system of legislation in accordance with the necessities and the spirit of the times in which we live. The prosecution of inquiries into the extent and enormity of a crime, which is the more disgraceful for branding with th© infamy of slaves all those who are guilty of it, will 'no longer be taken up as a party question,—as a question affecting privileges, and upon which Peers and Commoners were hitherto regarded as entertaining opposite opinions. The Noble Mar quis informed the House that the Committee recom mended, in cases of a charge of extensive bribery being preferred against any constituency, that both Houses should address his Majesty, praying the appointment of a commission to inquire into it. That the Committee appointed under the commission should be composed of the Members of both Houses, to the num- ber of twelve, five Lords and seven Commoners, chosen from a hundred Members of each House, nominated by the LORD CHANCELLOR and the SPEAKER of the House of Commons respectively. That such Committee should be called a Court of Inquiry ; that before this Court all witnesses should be examined, and papers and documents respecting "bribery produced ; and that the report of this Court should be received as the report of a Committee of both Houses of Parliament, and form the sole grounds of future legislative proceedings. We sincerely hope that the suggestions of this Committee, which we understand are highly approved of by the Duke of WELLINGTON, will be adopted without delay ; as we have no doubt ,but that, as soon as the benefits which will arise from them are sufficiently understood, Courts established on the same principle will be appointed to carry on the business now gone through by the public - Committees of both Houses. Our readers will remember that a few days since we recommended to Parliament the appointment of joint-committees on all bills where witnesses are to be examined, as nothing could be more preposterous than allowing the public to be robbed, and the time of the Legislature to be squandered, to keep up useless forms, ridiculous in themselves, and injuri ous to the community. This is the first step. The principle at least is now approved of, and all that remains is that it be carried out liberally. If any one would judge of the importance of this measure, let him look to the Borough of Warwick Disfranchise ment Bill, now some months before Parliament crowds of witnesses were brought up from Warwick to London, when this Bill was before the Commons, at an immense expense to this country, and on their evi dence, the Committee passed the Bill. The report was printed--every thing was known, end yet when it was sent to the Upper House the • same trouble was again to be taken, the same ordeal to be passed. Agents were again to be employed, counsel to be re tained, witnesses to be summoned, and carried to town, and the same routine of swearing to be gone through, as if nothing had ever been heard before on subject. Thus where no bribery took place, unprin cipled persons were interested in forcing Parliament to an inquiry, which, end as it might, was sure to termi nate to their personal advantage. By the new ar rangement there will be a saving of at least one-half the expenses, and, more than half the time spent at present. On Saturday the House of Commons received, and ordered to be printed, the It eport of the Ecclesiastical Commission for inquiring into the Revenue of the Established Church in England and Wales. The disclosures contained in this paper will, we fear, have anything but the effect of alleviating the hostile feeling with which the dignitaries of the Established Church are at present regarded. What will the people think of hundreds of pow curates, working day and night, half ecclesiastics, half farmers, half schoolmasters, toil ing and struggling for pittances altogether not amount ing to 1001. a year each, in a Christian land, where four-and-twenty Lordly Priests, without care, or trou ble, or anxiety, or toil, or labour—in God's vineyard, or out of it—enjoy an annual income exceeding one hundred and eighty thousand pounds ! Why, this is enough to drive the n a ti on t o di s t rac ti on . B u t w h at is worse still, ifanything can be worse, the Deans and Chapters alone enjoy an annual revenue of two hun dred and seventy thousand pounds ; while out of the whole income of the Church, amounting to four millions sterling, the benefices are worth upwards of three millions a-year. Now, if there were no other argument against the temporalities of the Church forming a part of the religion of the gospel, than what might be drawn from the present distribu- tion of this immense wealth, we should not fear being able to convince Dr. PHILLPOTTS himself that no connection whatever could possibly exist between them. Why, if the present distribution of the Church tem ; poralities—if the revenues of the Church at all— formed an iota of Christianity, then would fraud, injus tice, filthy lucre—the principle of loading the weak with burdens grievous to be borne—the encouraging of idleness, extravagance, hypocrisy and deceit, form a part of it. But no ; neither the Gospel nor the Church sanction these disgraceful perversions of truth and charity. They do not apportion the donations of the well-disposed, and the bequests of the righteous dead, among a hierarchy more troubled about the af fairs of the kingdom of this world, than of the king dom of Christ. It is only the selfish—the cold, un feeling vipers, which the Church warmed into life in her bosom, that seek to disseminate a doctrine which is filling this country with dissenters from all revealed religion. It is time for Parliament to interpose its authority for the protection of the Church, and for the removal of all just grounds of cavil, by adopting some measure for equalizing the incomes, and efficiently rewarding the services, of the working clergy. The Church her self possesses adequate means of doing this. Let the four millions now received be equally distributed among the clergy, and let each be paid in proportion to the value and importance of his services. It is disgrace ful to this as a Christian country, and to ourselves as a religious people, to permit one part of the Ministers of the Gospel to be dragging on a miserable existence amid the horrors of hunger and destitution ; while others, who are a dead-weight in the scale of active benevolence, are wallowing in wealth, which our ances tors bequeathed for the good of the whole Church. As the subject will engage much of the attention of Parliament early in the ensuing Session, it will be well for the Members, during the recess, to give it all the consideration in their power ; and we do entreat them to bring to it all the knowledge which they shall have gained of the general sentiments of the people through-' out the kingdom. The country will learn with great satisfaction that the Earl of MULGRAVE, so well known for the wisdom and discretion with which he conducted the government of Jamaica, has accepted the Privy Seal in place of Lord CARLISLE. The Noble Earl is not only a man of talent, being the author of several publica tions of great merit, but one of the first who exercised the full powers reposed in him, as Governor of Jamaica, in alleviating the sufferings of the slaves, and holding out to them a hope of emancipation, as THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1834 a reward for industry and general good conduct. On all subjects of modern policy, his Lordship's opinions are known to be decidedly liberal. Dr. BOWRING left town yesterday evening for Paris, to resume his official duties in that capital. We understand that the people of Scotland are dissatisfied w'ith Lord ALTHORP for not equalizing the duty on Scotch and Irish Whiskey, intimating that the low rate at which Irish whiskey is charged,will tend materially to limit the consumption in Scotland. We have likewise heard that there is to be a meeting to-day of the Scotch Members; for the purpose of impressing upon the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, the unfair partiality of the proposed duties with regard to Ireland. The Universities Dissenters' Admission Bill was last night read a third time, and passed in the Com mons. In the Lords it will meet the " tug of war." The Paris Papers, which we have just received, con tain no news of any importance, except that another prosecution of the Press has taken place, and that the editor of the National has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and a fine of 500 francs, for a libel on Louis PHILIPPE. The libel was to the effect, that the King of the French was personally responsible for all the acts of his Government. In Spain all is yet tranquil. The cholera still con tinues its ravages in Madrid ; though we are happy to announce that the murderous attack on the con vents has led to no further disturbance ; and that by the QUEEN'S authority peace now reigiis in the Spanish capital.' Her MAJESTY, as Regent, on learning the nature of the insurrectionary attack on the convents, issued a proclamation, forbidding more than ten persons to assemble in any part of the city, and to counteract the public impression, that the authorities were not opposed to the violent proceedings of the common people, she ordered their instant removal. The promptitude and firmness of such a proceeding struck terror into the hearts of the insurgents, and forthwith every hand was stayed which had been raised against the public peace. There is no additional information respecting Don CARLOS and his deluded followers. The Cortes were to meet on the 24th inst. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, TUESDAY, JULY 29. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met this morning at ten o'clock, and proceedei to hear further evidence in support of the Warwick Borough Dis franchisement Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty minutes past twelve, NEW MEMBERS. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE the new Member for Nottingham ; and General Sir E. BARNES, the new Member for Sudbury, took the oaths and their seats. On the motion of Alderman THOMPSON, the Durham and Sunderland railway Bill wasread a third time and passed. HOWEL'S DIVORCE BILL. On the motion of Mr. TOOKE, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, upon Howel's Divorce Bill. Mr. TOOKE in the Chair. The proceedings were then resumed, and several witnesses were examined in support of the Bill. Counsel and witnesses having withdrawn, Mr. HUGHES HUGHES contended that there had not been sufficient evidence laid before them to authorise them to pass the Bill. It had altogether the appearance of collusion, for according to the testimony of one of the witnesses, the woman went about trumpeting her own disgrace, and had given no opposi tion to the Bill. He submitted to the House that the preamble of the Bill had not been proved. Mr. PRYME submitted that the evidence was sufficient. It was not necessary to prove impossibility of access between the hus band and wife ; a reasonable probability was all that was necessary, and no argument against the Bill could be brought forward from the circumstance of the wife not having offered any opposition to it. Mr. O'DWYER supported the view of the case which had been taken by the Hon. Member for Oxford (Mr. H. Hughes.) He wished that the practice of the Church of which he was an un worthy member was more generally adopted, and that those whom God had joined no man should part.—( Hear, hear.) Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET supported the Bill. The preamble was then put and carried, and the Bill went through Committee. The Chairman then brought up the report, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day week. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COLONIZATION. Mr. SPRING RICE moved the order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of the whole House on the South Australian Colonization Bill. Mr. A. BARING contended that the Bill was founded upon the most mistaken views that were ever adopted by any set of experi mentalists, and that it would be the most judicious course to post pone its further consideration to next session. Why, if these theo retic and scientific men (who, by-th e b ye , were considered b' Fre derick of Prussia and Napoleon as the worst possible persons to establish a practically good form of Government), wished to make an experiment, had they not selected some moderate sized farm or cabbage-garden, instead of t a ki ng a tract of country em b rac i ng nine degrees of longitude, and bounded merely by the great geographical line of the tropic of Capricorn ? He objected also to this Bill, because it was intended as a speculation, by which a large sum of money was to be raised by mortgage, and thus the ma nagement and future government of the country. would be taken out of the hands of the Crown and the responsible executive. He had no objection to the establishment of new colonies, provided they were set on foot in the ordinary and legitimate mode ; but he de cidedly objected to the present experiment, which was founded upon interested motives, without any view to the benefit of the par ties who might be induced to emigrate, which must tend to throw discredit upon emigration itself.--(Hear, hear.) He should really like to know if 100 square miles would not be enough for these gentlemen to play their pranks in. If the experi ment succeeded, they might add another 100 square miles, and another 100 after that; but why should they block up the half of a great continent ? The very distance would make it impossible to form a settlement to any great extent.—(Hear, hear.) Emigrants might get to America in thirty days, and from Ireland for 31., and therefore 50,000 persons had emigrated thither in the course of a year. He belieVed such emigration to be a practical relief, and not a mere drop in the ocean ; and that the system, if well followed up, would relieve the immense population of this country. But in the present in stance the distance was too far; they might succeed in carrying out a few thousands, but never their tens or hundreds of thousands. Another part of the Bill enacted that emigrants should pay 12s. an acre for all the land, and that they were to have no credit, so that whether the land was good or bad, sheep-walks, or the richest arable land, the principle of paying 12s. an acre was not to be de parted from. He spoke from experience in matters of this sort, having in the early part of his life spent many thousands in settle ment;, and he would pledge his existence upon the fact, that the principle of paying 12s. an acre and not allowing any credit could not be practically acted upon, and yet upon those princi ples the scheme mainly restel He had five or six thousand acres of land in the best parts of Pennsylvania, and he would be glad to sell it for half the money, and at very good credit into the bargain. No man emigrating could take less than 100 acres of land, which would cost him in ready money 1201. The expense of moving would be about 120/. more, and he would put it to any man ac quainted with the people of this country, to say whether they would find men ready to lay out these sums of money in sitting down upon two hundred acres of land amidst kanga roos and still wilder inhabit an t s . —(H ear , h ear. ) I le ad mitted that he never knew an instance of a sober and temperate and working man going out without acquiring independence and comfort ; but he could also state, that if a small English farmer with his few hundred pounds were to make the experiment, he would repent of it. Let the labouring man who was able to work go as soon as he could, he had nothing to fear. This colony was not to have the convict labour, so that the small farmer sating down with his 5001. must expect that the labourers from England would come and work for . him. He (llr. Baring) was sure that the labourers of this country would not go to such a distance to work for others ; yet this was the ground-work of this Bill. The Honourable Member further objected to the Society being empowered to borrow money to an unlimited extent. It was indeed provided that those who lent money should have it back upon three months notice, but how were they in three months to get back the money from the tropic of Capricorn ? wa s sure, after the fullest consideration, that the Bill, as it stood, would be fraught with the worst consequences, and he would therefore conclude by moving that the report be received this day six months. Mr. WHITMORE in reply defended the principle of the Bill, and read an extract from the evidence of Captai n Stuart, to prove that convict labour would not be required in the colony, and that free labour would be encouraged and liberally remunerated. Although the price of the whole of the land was fixed at 12s. per acre, it was not to be supposed that the good land would not be first bought up, and in proportion to the progress of cultivation, the price of land would necessarily rise. As to the distance, and the improbability of labour going so far, he would remark that the expenses of such emi grants outwards would be paid for them. This colony would give an opportunity for the employment of the surplus ca pital and population of England, and while it would advance civilization throughout the world, it would be of immense advan toge to the mother country, inasmuch as it would provide ample employment for our superabundant skill and talerat. Mr. O'DWYER thought the project would be of no benefit to Ireland. Mr. S. RICE thanked the Hon. Member for Essex for the manner in which he had taken up this question. Government was not unaware of the difficulties the Hon. Member had mentioned, but the feasibility of the plan overbalanced them, and therefore Go vernment had determined to countenance it, deeming it one of its duties to extend the glory of the British name to the remotest ends of the earth.—( Hear. ) He did not, however, ask the House to agree to the scheme without due examination and inquiry, which he was sure would have the effect of recommending the experiment to their support, and prove it was not a mere joint-stock company affair.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Essex might depend upon it that the plan would be conducted under most proper management. The •emigration of labourers to Australia had been called transportation, with a view perhaps to ren der it disagreeable to emigrants ; but every man of com mon sense knew how to draw a distinction between voluntary emigration, and the transportation of convicts.—( Hear. ) He had found the principle of the Bill unexceptionable, and there fore he had determined to support it. Mr. H. HUGHES thought that at the present period of the Session it would be impossible to give this subject all the attention it deserved, and, therefore, that he should vote for the amendment. After a few words from Mr. Chapman, Mr. Handley, Mr. S. Rice, Mr. Towers, Mr. Childers, and Mr. Ruthven, The Gallery was then cleared fora division, when there appeared— For Mr. Whitmore's motion 72 Against it _ _ Majority —6s The House then went into Committee on the Bill, Mr. TOOKE in the Chair. It being three o'clock the CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday next. BANK MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) This morning a Special General Court of Proprietors was held, and was very numerously attended. At twelve o'clock, R. M. Raikes, Esq., the Governor, accom panied by the Deputy-Governor, and most of the Directo rs , t oo k hi s place, wh en t h e m i nutes of the last ' court were read and confirmed. The GOVERNOR then said the Court had been called in conse quence of the termination of a negotiation that had been had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the payment of the fourth part of the permanent debt due to the Bank ; and to consider whether the proposal should be closed with. The amount of the capital to be paid in October, with the interest upon it, amounted to 3,671,700/. ; in lieu of that it was proposed to pay to the Bank 4 ,080,000/. of Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities. The Court of Directors had considered the plan, and had resolved to propose to that Court the following resolution : " That a proposal from the Chancellor of the Exchequer to transfer to the Bank the sum of 4,080,000/. three per cent. reduced annuities in liquidation of the permanent debt to the _Bank, which will become due on the Ist August next, be recommended to the Court of Proprietors, provided the transfer be made so soon as the Act of Parliament authorising the same shall have passed, and the interest of the returned capital be paid up to the day of the said transfer. Mr. YouNG said, if he understood the case properly, the Go vernment were not prepared to pay the money, and proposed to give the stock in lieu of it, under an Act of Parliament which had yet to be introduced. The worthy proprietor was entering at large into the general question of the Bank accounts, when The GOVERNOR reminded him that the only question before the Court was, whether it would agree to the proposition made by the Government or not. Mr. YOUNG said that depended upon the mode or plan by which it was proposed to carry the proposition into effect. When the stock was received, was it to be divided among the proprietors, or was it to remain as capital ? The GOVERNOR said, when the'present motion was disposed of, there was another recommendation of the Court of Directors to be submitted to the Court. A PROPRIETOR moved that the Resolution be agreed to. Mr. FEILDEN inquired whether there was any correspondence between the Chairman and the Government, and if so, whether there was any understanding which would prevent it being laid be fore the Court. The GOVERNOR said nothing had passed between the Chair and the Chancellor of the Exchequer but discussions upon the proposal. Mr. FEILnEN then inquired whether, if the Court received the money or stock, there was any understanding implied or agreed to by which the hands of the Bank would be tied up from using it as they pleased. The GovEurroa said there was no understanding of any sort, by which the Bank was in the slightest degree prevented from either dividing the produce of the stock, pro rata, amongst them, or doing what else they pleased with it. The question was then put and carried. The GOVERNOR then read a resolution of the Directors, recom mending that the stock should remain as capital. Mr. CAMPBELL said though he agreed with the proposition of the Court of Directors, he had drawn up a resolution of his own, recommending the same thing, though in rather a fuller manner. The Directors resolution was then withdrawn, and the following one submitted to the Court:— " That this Court also concur in opinion with the Court of Directors, that it will be of advantage to the future management of the affairs of the Bank to retain the proportion of debt when re paid by the Government ; this Court do therefore, in pursuance of the authority for that purpose, contained in the Act of 3 William IV. cap. 93, determine not to divide or appropriate the sum of 3,638,2501., or any part thereof, amongst the several bodies politic or corporate, who may be proprietors of the Capital Stock of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England on the sth of October next. It was seconded by Mr. GRIBBLE. Mr. FEILDEN inquired whether the Court of Directors had been unanimous in the recommendation ? Being answered in the affir mative, he said he cordially concurred in the resolution. A PROPRIETOR said as the Act had not yet passed, it would be necessary that a provision should be introduced in the resolution, by which it should be declared if any limitation introduced into it to prevent the Bank from using the money as they pleased, the bargain should be at an end. The GOVERNOR said that Lord Althorp had been served with a copy of the Resolution as it stood, and it would be better to stand so. After a desultory discussion upon that point, The G ovE R NOR said any amendment was unnecessary, because the arrangement was that the Bill was to be introduced immediately upon that Court agreeing to the proposition ; and if the Bill did not pass, the Bank would stand in the same situation as if no negociation had taken place. As the law at present stood, the money for the fourth of the debt was to be paid on the sth of October. Mr. YOUNG supported the motion, because it would give the whole world confidence in the Bank, which would be shaken if they were to divide the money. After a few words from Mr. FEILDEN, the resolution passed unanimously, and the meeting broke up. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. Madras papers to the 6th of April have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. From the above papers, The Governor-General, we understand, left, or was about to leave, Bangalore for the Neilghenies, where his Lordship will probably remain for some to recruit his health. We have no further news from the seat of war. According to the Herald, there were not more than twenty persons present on Saturday last at the Steam Meeting ; this is not a little surprising. The novelty is over, and the mulls relapse. Can such be the case? However, the ship from England, it appears, was more the theme of confab than was the steam communication matter of discussion. Mauritius papers to the 2d of July have been received at Calcutta. The excitement of faction is as violent as ever. Mr. Jeremie, so far from endeavouring to allay the popular ferment, is represented as adopting every measure calculated to fan the hatred against him. Th le only arrival this morning of any consequence is the Express from Paris, which does not furnish us with any later information than the accounts received yesterday of the move ments of the contending armies ; but it appears by a telegra phic dispatch from Bayonne, that accounts had been received from Madrid of the 22d inst., that tranquillity continued to reign in that capital up to that period ; all the civil and mili tary authorities had been changed, Martinez de la Rosa had retired to Madrid, and the Queen was expected on the 24th, and would open the Cortes in person. Preparatory Meetings of the Members of both Chambers took place on the 20th and 21st inst., and the best spirit was manifested. The Bayonne letters state that the greatest enthusiasm pre vails in Navarre, in favour of Don Carlos. The Government of St. Sebastian had received directions to prepare for the arrival of a British squadron in that port. THE FUNDS. The want of arrivals this morning causes rather a dulness in the City, and the chief object the speculators have in view is the meeting of the Cortes ; we shall, no doubt, ascertain to morrow, by the telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, whether they have met or not. Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 91* I, for the Account, with little doing. Spanish has somewhat improved, and been done at 44:f ; Portuguese, 861.

We hear that the special meeting, held this day at the Bank, has terminated, where it was stated that Government had come to a resolution of giving for their debt to the Pro prietors at 90 three per cents; reduced ; and the Bank are not to sell the Stock without the consent of the Proprietors. Consols are at present 911 s for the Account, with little doing. Bank Stock has improved one per cent. in conse quence of Government's proposal being received favourably by the Proprietors. ' Spanish Stock has improved to 45- 1, owing to information from Bordeaux that the Cortes were to meet on the 24th inst., that Don Carlos had become much alarmed, and that his army could not hold out much longer.

The elevation of Lord Apsley to the Peerage by the demise of his father ? Earl Bathurst, will cause a vacancy in the representation of Cirencester, for which place he has sat since 1812. Mr. Charles Bathurst has offered himself for the office vacant by the death of Sir W. Guise, of the four Ver derers of the Forest of Dean, the election to which is vested in the freeholders. NEW STREET FROM THE STRAND._A repre sentation was made yesterday in writing to Sir J. C. Hob house, on the part of several individuals, as Chief Commis sioner of the Woods and Forests, stating the very great incon venience which is suffered from the slow progress of the im provements, and the delay in erecting the sewer and the new street leading from the Strand to York-street, Covent-garden. The documents contain several particulars relative to the very dilatory manner in which the works are carried on, and the danger arising from the ruinous state of the houses which have been partially razed. We are happy to hear that a requisition is now in the course of signature among the merchants of London, the object of which, is the natural expression of respect towards Earl Grey on his retirement from office, after having closed a long political life of unsullied patriotism. ANTWERP, JULY 24.—The ravelin which is going to be erected opposite to the bastion of Toledo will be a considerable work ; it will fortify a part of the citadel, the weakness of which was shown in the late siege. This ravelin will cut the rampart of the Beguoue Gate, and will extend to the middle of the esplanade, which will be greatly diminished. The quantity of materials collected on the spot, and the line of the works as marked out, indicate the importance of this undertaking. A considerable number of workmen are ex pected. When this work is finished it will be much more dif ficult to draw off the water from the moat, as it will be neces sary, in order to accomplish this, to get possession of the ravelin. LITERATURE. THE EDINBURGHREVIEW, No. CXX. Longman and Co. July, 1834. Ignorance and Toryism—kindred and congenial powers— have both sad times of it at present. From the scathing, withering, consuming lightning of Heaven, down to the baby-brand with which infancy seeks to enliven the shell erected dwelling for a creature of silken shreds and painted wood, every fire appears kindled, every' torch borne in a direction to discover and expose the baneful in fluence which these demons are exercising over the affairs, and feelings, and passions, and morality of mankind. They must sink together ; for such is their necessary relation to each other --such is their mutual dependence—that an at tempt to separate matter from form would not be more ridiculous, than an effort to destroy the one and preserve the other. But the " Blue and Yellow" aims at nothing of the kind. It is a mighty mass of God's own thunder, hurled at the heads of both. The present number is more than usually rich in scien tifical, ethical, and political knowledge. The opening paper on Mr. Babbage's Calculating Machine, is most elabo rately written ; embodying a fund of mathematical know ledge which renders it invaluable to men of practical science. We agree in the justice of the Reviewer's observations on the debt of gratitude which is due from every country to such benefactors and ornaments of their race as Mr. Bab bage. Trades Unions and Strikes, is a clever exposition of the folly, the danger, and the loss of all combination on the part of either masters or men to raise or depreciate wages. In England and France they have been the signals of general distress, and- in many - cases, of absolute ruin. Nothing can be more false than that masters and men can have distinct and conflicting interests ; and yet upon this position rests the whole system of combination. Still we are by no means of opinion that the Reviewer has said all that might be said or ought to be said on this subject. He has certainly neglected a most important part in failing to point out, as he might easily have done, the misery to which strikes reduced the silk weavers at Lyons, and the Unionists of every association in this country since the year 1827. Mrs. Radcliffe's Poetical Works, is written by a person who well understood the genius of that most extraordinay woman. But of what admirer of her prose works might not as much be said ? Few writers of all that ever wrote possessed a power of personi fying themselves in their works to the full and exact extent that she did. We remember well the awe, and horror, and creeping dread with which her pages impressed us ; when we held the very book closer to our breast, and after creep ing into bed, dared not change our position, lest our eyes should encounter some haggard beldame, or scowling monk bent over us, armed with a dagger or drugged goblet. Neither can we quite agree with, the Reviewer, that she was herself a stranger to the fears 'with which she " harrowed up" the souls of others. Unless we are more or less under the influence of the passions, we can never wield them with such dexterity and truth, as to make them raise correspond ing emotions in the breasts of those to whom we address ourselves ; nor is the influence of fear less felt because known to be groundless. But the article which will excite the most deep reflections —which will soonest make its way. to the head and heart of every thinking man in the couhtry, is Tyler on Oaths. It is a curious, an able, but a sad record of . English ex travagance in the article of adjuration. Our annual consumption of oaths is truly enormous, and right glad are we to find that even at this late period of the world's existence, inquiries are being set on foot to di minish it. The great difficulty appears to be in fixing on some less awful, and in many cases, blasphemous means of obliging men to speak the truth. Yet this seems impossible without abolishing oaths altogether, unless men agree that there is an intrinsic holiness in certain sounds, or combinations of matter, independent of what is con ceded to it by that common consent which raises it up an arbiter of truth. The Reviewer does not tell us that in countries in which the gospels are not used as a form of adjuration, that which is, even among Christians, is gene rally regarded as more sacred ; though it might be worth while to inquire whether objects are sworn by because they are previously believed to be sacred, or whether such sacredness is awarded to them because they are objects of adjuration. Thus, for instance, the common people in Ireland generally swear by the cross and the altar ; priests in Ireland by their vestments, the altar, or the mass which they either have, or are about to celebrate ; the people of Spain by their patron saints, or the founders of the orders in which they enrol themselves ; the people of Scotland, even in courts of justice, by holding up the right hand, and appealing to God as he shall sit in judgment. Now, in all these instances, with the exception of the last, the gospels are relinquished in swearing, not out of the want of any veneration for them, but because the substitutes used for them excite a greater degree or awe in the minds of the people of Ireland and Spain : and therefore it becomes a theological question, whether an Irish Ca tholic, swearing by the Cross to the truth of that which he knows to be false, is not as much guilty,of perjury in the sight of God as if the averment was made on the Evangelists. But a still further consideration on the subject convinces us that oaths, among an educated people, are wholly unne cessary, and the sooner they are abolished the better. The Reviewer well observes, that men sleep as soundly before the King has taken the Coronation Oath as they do after ; and that although there were a thousand times more oaths sworn formerly than there is at present, the world has lost nothing in allegiance, order, or good faith, under the re laxed system. Hear himself on this point The oath was formerly a regular part of every treaty. Let jurists make out their lists of the broken faith of nations, and put the sworn treaties of the thirteenth, and the unsworn ones of the nineteenth century, in contrast with each other. Modern diplo macy need not blush. Formerly, the entire male population was sworn to its allegiance. In England, boys, as soon as they were twelve years old, attended the Court Leet for that purpose. We do not know when this comedy was played for the last time. But there can be no doubt, that it would be a much more difficult thing to get a single village to turn out into rebellion now, than it would have been for party leaders to bring out the suitors of the Court Leets of half the kingdom into the field against their king. Have oaths of religious allegiance been more successful ? The Council of Toulouse (A. D. 1129) required of the laity, that at the age of twelve, (an age which Bishop Philpotts will admit to be sufficiently early for the responsibilities of technical divinity,) they should swear to a formulary of faith. The very necessity, that the Council of Trent could have occasion in its day to decree that all Catholics should swear to obey the Canons and the See of Rome, was in itself a proof of the insufficiency of the precaution which it was once more in the act of recommend ing. While the Roman C a th o li cs , h owever, were profiting by experience, and this last provision was afterwards wisely limited to ecclesiastics, the German Protestants became alarmed lest the annual elections in the imperial cities, and the fluctuating policy of princes, might check the Reformation. Under this apprehen sion the Protestant laity were subjected to an oath of religion equally stringent, by the supporters of the Augsburgh Confession, by Luther, and by Calvin. How strange that while the Protes tant faith was, by the very fact of its existence, a proof of the fallibility of this criminal expedient to stop inquiry, they should imagine it could do for the catechisms of to-day, what it had failed in accomplishing for the decrees of Councils and the authority of the Fathers ! Th e A c t s o f U n if orm i ty, passed in behalf of the Church of England, did not attain their object. No invention of the kind can. But the Church of England spared itself the dis grace of this useless perjury. If the oath ex officio only multi plied Dissenters, who can say what reaction might not have fol lowed a measure of this description? Looking at the pages of Sleidan, Seckendorff, and Arnold, and at the religious history of Germany, England might have had to pass through strange scenes of contradiction, schism, and confusion, before it arrived at the age of toleration and repose. Notwithstanding all his ortho doxy, the military Chancellor of Oxford has not yet proposed to swear the population at large to the Thirty-nine Articles' of Christianity." And yet, notwithstanding this falling off in our national expenditure of oaths, a return laid before the House of Commons states the number taken before the Board of Customs in 1830 to be no fewer than 101,596 and before the Board of Excise 194,612 ! while the :consumption at Chelsea only is estimated at 320,000 ! Tory Proceedings—State of Parties, is a capital hit at the aristocratic proceedings at Oxford. The re marks on the secession of Sir James Graham and Mr. Stanley, from the Cabinet, cannot fail to make a deep, lasting, and wholesome impression on the minds of these gentlemen. We trust, that in all respects they are as just, as when written they were judicious ; for they were written during the interregnum in the Administration. The article contains paragraphs more racy than the following ; but we never saw it equalled as a fair statement of the question which produced the actions upon which it is a commentary : " The church is not a corporation ; all lawyers admit this. It has no legal name or existence, as a body, different from the rest of the community. It consists in the faithful—' the body of faith ful men,' accordi ng to t h e d e fi n i t i on i n th e Thi r t y - n i ne Articles ; and the laity are just as much component parts of it as the clergy. The error consists in confounding church and clergy. The clergy have property ; but the church has none, and can have done. But how have the clergy property ? Only as a mass or number of cor porate bodies, some aggregate, some sole. All chapters are core rations aggregate; all bishops and all parsons are corporations sole. Each of th ose 12 ,000 or 13,000 corporate bodi es h as a name and existence in l aw , w i t h perpetual succession, and every material inci dent of corporations. Each is capable of holding property, and does in fact hold it. There is no other corporate body ; no church besides this; and no clergy holeing, or capable of holding property, except in this way. Then it would be quite competent for Mr. Stanley to argue that this property, so held by those corporations, aggregate and s ole-- that is, the bishops, chapters, and parsons—is inviolable ; and that you have no right to touch it. -But this he is the last mail alive to maintain ; for he contends, that you h ave a r i g h t to give fr": oue chapter to anoth er , from one bishop to ano th er ; from one rector to another ;—nay, he has himself destroyed ten of those sr; ritual corporations sole—namely, ten bishoprics—and transferred all their revenues and all their property to others. Indeed no nai l living dreams of denying that, within-the church,' as it is called , Parliament may transfer, and otherwise deal with the church pro perty; that is, may equalize it, by taking from one and giving to another. But is this consistent with the nature of property? 1 '1: is it one whit less an encroachment upon property than if you too a part from all those corporations, and gave it to the laity to prc" vide for schools, or repair churches in ease of the rates ? " Only see how absurd this di s ti nc ti on i s, b y trying it w i t h 131 property ! Could you justly equalize that ? Could you main" tain that the whol e p ro p er t y o f l aymen may be fairly taken IT the State, and parcelled out among the laity, provided you giv e none to the clergy. If y ou se i ze on t h e D uke of Bedford ' s, or th Duke of Buccleuch's estate, and parcel them out among the lay peasants of Bedfordshire and Roxburghshire, you do no violence to the rights of property ; it is only if you give an acre to a der' gyman that you commit robbery and spoliation ! Now this, h°!' l absurd soever, is precisely the argument of Mr. Stanley and Sir James Graham : it is their argument converted and applied 0 the laity. They speak of the church, or the clergy, as a body , and ascribe to it rights of property. Then it follows that the laity is another body, capable of property, and the self-sam e argument is applicable to it. We think we have said enough to show on what widely different grounds church property and other. property stand. N o man t hi n k s of equalizing the estates o f individual proprietors, nor even of corporate bodies, as the char' tered companies in the towns. Yet no man thinks there is harm at all in equalizing the revenues of spiritual persons, and corporations ecclesiastical. In truth, the property of the clergy is given to them as payment for performing public duties pay ;—it is salary ;—it is not property in the ordinary sense o the word." With these observations we must lay down the Ede' burgh for the present. Many articles we have not men tioned, which are well worthy of notice ; and two we have studiously omitted, because falling short of the excellence which we always expect to find, and are never disappointed' in meeting, in this elegant periodical. Monypenny on the Scottish Poor Laws, is a useful paper at the present moment, though it would have been a great recommenda tion had the principle of providing for the poor, and under what peculiar circumstances, obtained more of the writer's attention.
