Clay's inquiry whether, the Government would name a day for the discussion of the bill in committee, has led the Executive Committee of the Society for the Libera tion of Religion to pass resolutions, in which they state, that "looking to the advantageous position secured for Sir W. Clay's Church-rate Abolition Bill at the time when her Majesty's Government voted in favour of its principle, and proposed to amend it in committee, they deeply regret that the friendly professions of her Majesty's Ministers have served only to ,prevent the further progress of the bill this session, and to disappoint the just expectations of its supporters both in Parliament and in the country." They also "hold themselves released from all further responsibility in regard to the amendments proposed by the Govern ment, and hope that any measure hereafter submitted to Parliament willhe restricted in its scope and provi. 'dons to the simple and unconditional abolition of Church rates." They further state " that the system thus for the present continued is one which the experience of this committee requires them to characterise,as having been, to a large extent, sustained by systematic breach of law on the part of cleriCal and other chairmen of parish ves tries." They conclude by announcing that they " will be prepared to afford increased aid in the vestry-con tests now everywhere so ably conducted by the opponents of Church rates, and which may be expected to go far to ward,. extinguishing them without the'iaterferouoe of the Legislature." BRITISit ASSOCIATION. =Active preparations are being made at Cheltenham for the reception of the members of the British Association, for the Advancement of Science, who hold their annual 'country meeting this year in the week commencing Wednesday, the 2d of August. A liberal subscription (headed by Earl Fitzhardinge, who is a don-r of 501.), has b e e n en t ere d i nto fo.r defraying the necessary expenses, and ainona, the su b scr ibers are Earl Ducie, the Earl of Wemyss, Earl Bathurst, Lord J. Russell, Lord North wick, and Lord de Saumares, and local committees consisting of most of the savans of the district have been appointed. The meetings will be held at the Queen's Hotel, one of the handsomest hotels in the kingdom, which is being painted and. decorated for the occasion. It is understood that Priam Lucien . Bonaparte will be one of the visitors. " - defended the ancients so well That he perfectly proved the moderns excel." (A laugh.) The hon. gentlemen who have asked for further investigation have shown that they have so completely sifted and mastered the qu , :stion in all its bearings —so thoroughly examined every part of the measure under dis cussion—that no more lengthened or deliberate considera tion is necessary to enable them at least to come to a deci sion. (Hear.) It is admitted on all hands that a great evil exists—that the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords has been weakened, not by anything inherent in the constitution of that body, but by the iiccidental cir cumstance of a diminution in the number of members com petent to take part in its ju4icial business.
