letter, strictly . forbidding everywhere the use of Bibles in the vulgar tongues, and that the Ca tholic Church has never countenanced Bible reading. But religious sects owe something to the feelings of each other ; and whatever the opinions of a Catholic may be with regard to the Bible, he ought not to outrage the feelings of Protestants by committing in public such an act as that denounced in the petition. The Catholic hierarchy should endeavour to mode rate the zeal of their inferiors in this respect. The mention of the outrage in Parliament will probably- have the effect of preventing a repe tition of it. The Protestants of the present day—(we say the present, because we re member a time when the high church clergy of England were almost as much opposed to Bible-reading as Catholics look with great horro: on the burning of a Bible, and they should be spared the spectacle of what they deem equivalent to sacrilege. It was stated by Mr. Shaw that the petitioners had taken every fnethod to procure redress from the Irish Go vernment before applying to Parliament on the subject, but that there was no punishment for the offence, as it was not contemplated by the law. It will not, surely, be contended that a priest is entitled to appropriate any volume against the will of the owner or owners , and commit it to the flames. In these matters, public opinion is of more pOtency than Acts of Par'iament. The same cause which prevented the falnilv whose Bible was burned from sueing the priest, wo*ld equally prevent witnesses from giving evidence in a criminal prosecution. Respectabb Catholics must have the same feel ing with Protestants as to the act complained of ; and thou:h there is, no doubt, frequently greet provoca!ion given by well-meaning but fanatical landlords, who wish to avail them selves of their temporal influence to make converts to Protestantism, we trust the third reformation will not be disturbed by any more acts of this offensive character.—Morning Chronicle. All the changes which became necessary in the ministry, in consequence of the resignation of Mr. Stanley, Sir James Graham, and others, have now been completed ; and the following list of the cabinet, and its attachh, exhibits the result : THE CABINET. Earl Grey First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Brougham Lord Chancellor. Marquis of Lansdowne Earl of Carlisle. Lord Privy Seal. Lord Althorp Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Holland Duchy of Lancaster. Lord -Palmerston Lord Melbourne Home Secretary. _ _ Right Hon. T. S. Rice Colonial Secretary. Lord Auckland Right Hon. C. Grant Lord John Russell Paymaster of the Forces. Right Hon. E. Ellice Rt. Hon. J. Abercrombie Master of the Mint. NOT OF THE CABINET. arquis of Conyngham Postmaster-General. Mr. Cutlar Fergusson Judge Advocate General. Mr. F. T. Baring Secretary to the Treasury. Captain Byng One oft he Lords of the Treasury. Looking at the names—and yet there are many of them not without note—which compose the above list, it cannot be said of them that they present a very formidable or a very daring phalanx. For Earl Grey we entertain all the respect which is due to the most triumphant „onsistency that ever marked the career of any public man, in. any age or country of the world ; while the flashes of genius and eloquence as well as of the keenest wit and most delightful humour—accompanied as they have been by displays of the most extensive learning and prO found wisdom—which we have so repeatedly witnessed on the part of Lord Holland, ate things which, once heard, can never be for gotten ; but age, which sears and weakens the faculties of all men, has gained too much upon the former, and disease upon the latter, to allow either to do their duty to the public in that vigorous and efficient manner which the spirit of the age and the circumstances of the times so im peratively call for. Andso also of Lordßrougham. .No one disputes his powers, either of thinking or of acting ; but what can be expected from one whose attention is daily exercised upon such It multiplicity of subjects, and of such various bearings ? The noble lord does more than either can or ought to be expected of him; but what can be expected from him in the Cabinet, a'ter his time has been given up . to, and his mind wearied out with, the business of the Court of Chancery, and the ten thousand ad juncts which naturally arise out of it ? With regard to the other members of the Cabinet, there are none of them marked men—none of them persons who have hitherto distinguished themselves by any great political act. They are all what is termed in common life men of business habits ; but their business habits form, in times like the present, but a poor substitute for manly decision and commanding talent. In deed the most efficient and satisfactory minis terial concoctions consist of the individuals who have been appointed to the subordinate offices Hof Mi. Abercroinbie—of Mr. Cutlar Fer gusson, and of Colonel Leith Hay. All these accessions are not only of the right stamp as regards principle, for they have been well tried, and have proved their consistency, but as re gards talent ; and as we observed the other dav, they furnish the most satisfactory proof that the present M.nistry have got rid of a great portion of the 'drab; 131 . *hich.,tkeir motions were for merly impeclA, and that a better policy i., now about to be purtied. -More ahle; and bolder men; such as Mr. Tennyson and others, we hold iiqu2stronably have been desirous of seeing either in the Cabinet, or in some impur tant office immediately connected with it. But it is but just, at the same time, to confess that the present Administration, if not the foremost in talent, or in energy, is characterized by an unanimity of sentiment and a soundness of principle, Which is even more to be desired than the art of the rhetorician, or the hazardous hastinegs of the well-meaning, but unthinking innovator. At - all events, there is enough about it to insure the confidence of the public—to deserve a fair trial at its hands ; and that trial they shall have from -us, without prejudice, as without partiality.—Morning Advertiser. One evening, after a great battle, Frederick 11. approached a fire which had been lighted by some of the grenadiers of his own regiment. The soldiers began to ask him where he had been during the battle. " Generally," said they, " you lead us yourself where the fire i 3 hottest ; but this time nobody saw you, and it is not right to*.abandon us so." The King, in a good-humoured manner, explained to them in what part of the field he had been, and his reasons for being there, which had prevented him from being at the head of his own regiment. As he began to grow warm, he unbuttoned his great coat, and a ball dropped out, which he had received in his clothes. The hole the ball had made in the great coat and coat was per ceptible. Upon this the enthusiasm of the soldiers knew no bounds. They cried out, with all the tender ness of expression belonging in the German tongue to the singular pronoun. " You are our own good old Fritz ; you share in all our dangers with us—we will all die for you ;" and the conversation concluded with. three cheers, and their entreaties to the King to take more care of his own safety.—Mirron LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1834. The House of Commons last night, in Com mittee on the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, left out the 62d, 63d, 64th, and 65th clauses, rela tive to settlement, and altered the 66th. By the alteration it is provided that no settlement can be acquired, aftei the passing of the act, by hiring and service, or apprenticeship. As these, from experience, had been found to be the chief sources of litigation in parishes, the amendment was agreed to without opposition. An alteration was also made in the 68th clause, by which it is provided that the occupa tion of a tenement will not secure a settlement, unless the tenant has been assessed to the poor rates for the space of one year. The law of settlement is thus altered in three important points, hiring, apprenticeship, and occupation of a tenement assessed to the poor rate. The Committee have now discussed 68 clauses of the 92 of which the bill consists, and the only clauses of great importance' remaining for discussion, are those relating to bastardy, some of which we consider highly objectionable. In no one point does the bill make a more radical change than in this ; and, though the old law was bad, if these clauses are passed without al teration, we are afraid the new law will be worse. It had long been a subject of just complaint that a worthless woman could, on her mere oath, compel a man to maintain her child or undergo great expense in a law-suit, and that the magis trates could commit to prison an innocent person because he refused to pay a fine or contribute to the support of another man's child. It is proper and necessary to abrogate such an absurd law and one fraught with such mischievous consequences, but there is a great difference between this and enacting another which not only takes frotn lie mother the power of proving who is the fatlr.:r of her child, but also compels her, or if she is notable, or dies, compels her father and mo ther to maintain it. To exempt the father from all expense might be expedient in a country where there are foundling hospitals, but in Eng land it is Worse than inexpedient—it is cruel towards the mother—it allows probably the more guilty party to escape punishment—it will hold out an inducement to child murder, and in nine cases out of ten throw all the expense of maintaining bastard children on the parish.. There is neither justice, mercy, nor sound policy in such an enactment. It may, in some cases, act as a check on the woman, but that will, be more than counterbalanced by the imputiity which it gives to depraved men, 'without feeling or honour, on whom the ex pense of maintaining the child acts as the surest restraint. It would be advisable, therefore, to make an important alteration in the present mode of affiliation ; but when the affiliation is made out to the satisfaction of two magistrates, the father ought to be made to contribute his share, at least, to the support of the child. Prudence is not a virtue for which women of that description are remark able, and consequently any fear of expense or want will act as a very imperfect re straint, when they know, at the same time, that the . parish cannot leave them to starve. The repeal of that absurd and cruel law by which a woman, under such circum stances, might be imprisoned or otherwise punished, at the instance of churchwardens and overseers, and the law by which a woman might swear a child to an innocent man, are highly expedient ; but the objections to the other parts of the clauses on this head appear to us in surmountable. It is reported that the Earl of WICKLOW, or some other Tory Peer, intends this evening to move an address to his MAJESTY, praying him to recall the Irish Church Commission. We cannot but disbelieve this report for two reasons, first, that notice of such motion is usual, as a matter of courtesy (unless, indeed, the Ultras intend to throw all courtesy aside), secondly, that such conduct on the part of their Lordships, even if successful, will have a direct tendency to bring them into collision with the House of Commons. It remains to be seen Whether their Lordships will be fool hardy enough to provoke such an encounter, which can have but one termination—their own complete discomfiture, for it is clear . that the Commons will move a counter-address to his MAJESTY, who will be advised to return some such reply to the Ultra faction as he did on the Portuguese question. Lord ALTHORP mentioned last night in the House of Commons, that it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to propose, in the present session, the renewal, but with some material alterations, of the Irish Coercitm Bill, on which Mr. O'CONNELL expressed his de termination to move a call of the house every night during the proceedings on the measure. When out of office Mr. Hus issoN pub lished a pamphlet on the Bullion question, in which he said, " In retirement I became sen sible that, when in place, I had been deficient in almost every thing but diligence." We hope that Mr. STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM will subject themselves to a similar self-exami nation, and avail themselves of their retirement to redeem their deficiencies. They have both much to learn, and must begin by unlearning much of what they have been taught. Mr. STANLEY has been known hitherto only as a clever debater, but Sir JAMES GRAHAM has appeared as an author, at least if report speaks true ; he published a tract upon corn and cur rency, without understanding anything of either subject ; and, as Chairman of the Agri cultural Committee of last year, he took up a position altogether counter to that whi c h h e assumed in his pamphlet on corn and currency. These right honourable geotlemen will do an infinite deal of good to the country by avail ing themselves of the leisure of retirement to investigate the causes of its distress, and more particularly its agricultural distress, in which both of them are more especially interested, for which purpose we beg leave to propound to them this question—How happens it that un employed labour continues to increase, and un employed capital continues to accumulate. in this country ? and to assist them in this inquiry, we further beg leave to apprise them of two facts, first, that general prices began to fall in 1811, and next, that agricultural distress began and has continued since 1816, since which year also unemployed labour and capital have continued to increase and accumulate. Notices for the meeting of nineteen public committees, and six private committees, ap peared in the House of Commons' paper of yesterday. There are not so many rooms for committees to meet in, and of those that are, the greatest number are of a miserable descrip tion. The incommodiousness of the house, and the want of proper committee rooms, are evils which ought long ago to have been re moved. Mr. LEY'S house has hitherto stood in the way. He has, no doubt, as good a right to his house as lie has to his salary during hi s life. Let him, therefore, be compensated. But let not the health of members be longer subjected to injury from want of accommodation to transact the business of the country. We trust that a committee will be forthwith ap pointed to settle the compensation to be given to Mr. LEY, and to fix upon a plan for a new building containing a -sufficient number of spacious committee rooms, which may be began as soon as Parliament shall be prorogued, and erected during the vacation. The same oppor tunity should be taken to render more commo dious the present House of Commons, or to build a new one. German papers are chiefly filled with discus-. sions on domestic topics, such as the projected improvements in the University of Leipsic, of no great interest to our English readers. A letter from Constantinople, dated May 20, and contained in the Austrian Ob,server, states that the Turkish squadron had arrived off Samos the inhabitants of which island had shown themselves favourably disposed towards the SULT A N'S authority. The Paris papers of Sunday are, as might be expected, full of speculations on election matters. The Doctrinaires are straining every nerve to get men of their own party returned, and so strengthen their interests in the new chamber. A letter from Madrid, dated 4th inst., mentions that the Spanish Government had received information of the surrender of El vas, Campo Mayor, Orihuela, and other strong places held by the Miguelites. The army of General RODIL had in consequence been ordered to the insurgent Spanish provinces Several decrees respecting the finances were stated to be in active preparation by the Govern ment. Among other things, it was supposed they would recognize all the debts contracted for the service of the country (that of the Cortes included) with the exception, however, of 80,000,000 francs due to France. The interest on the whole debt would be reduced to one third of that, at which each branch of it was respectively contracted. Among the . Carlists at Paris it was reported that the daughter of the late Duke de BERRI was about to be married to the Prince Royal of BAVARIA, who is in his 23d year. It was said also that the departure of the King of BELGIUM from Paris on Sunday last was occasioned by the threatening attitude assumed by the Dutch army on his frontier. The following are extracts from Jamaica Papers to the Ist of May, received this morn ing at the North and South American Coffee house : ( From the Paper of the 28th April. ) SPANISH TOWN, APRII, 25.—A party consisting of eight gentlemen, headed by John Stirling, Esq., went from the town to the wood above Tulloch's Estate, for the purpose of breaking up the haunt of a band of desperate runaways, who have been for some time committing depredations on the adjoining estates to a very great extent. These gentlemen discovered their haunt, and, after a desperate resistance, suc ceeded in capturing ten of the gang, among whom was a woman. (From the Paper of April 30.) We perceive by the minutes of the Common Coun cil, that a most flagrant insult was offered to one of the Magistrates of the City by those who were bound to respect most particularly the laws. We have been waited upon by a gentleman from Portland, who has assured us that the report we gave a few days ago respecting the insubordination of the negroes on Little Spring Garden estate was exagge rated. It appears that the proprietor of the estate had given the slaves on the property an holiday every Saturday, and that a new overseer, was appointed, who was not aware of the arrangement, and when he called on them' to turn out to work, they refused obeying. After an explanation, however, the affair was amicably settled. The principal topic of conversation in town is the blundering conduct of the Board of Health respecting the troop-ship Romney, which arrived on Thursday last with the 64th Regiment. It appears several per sons had died on the passage of measles ; the vessel was placed in partial quarantine, and a report was sent to the board in Kingstown, which was sent to Hector Mitchel, the ' president, who. we fear, without taking the trouble of reading it, ordered the vessel to be released, and a debarkation of the officers and their families immediately commenced. As soon as Dr. Bancroft heard of the imprudent and dangerous course pursued by the Mayor, he ordered the, vessel to be again put into quarantine. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY. (FROM 1.1..)YD'5.)

UNEXPECTED FORTUNE.—At Heanton Punchardon, near Braunton, are two paupers, John Slade and his wife, who have been inmates of the workhouse for thirty-five years, and ignorant they had any living relative, or a shilling in the world but what they derived from the parish, have come as heirs to an estate near Glastonbury, worth about 1,5001., and considerable arrears of rent, said to be for seven or eight years. They have, in consequence, an additional weekly allowance, to increase their com forts, until the business is finally arranged.—Exeter Flying Post. REVENUES OF THE SPANISH CHURCH.— A curious statement has been published by one of the papers in Madrid respecting the number and revenues of the Spanish clergy. From it it appears that the number of buildings appropriated to religious purposes throughout Spain is 28,249 ; that that of the clergy is 159,322, and that of the friars and nuns 96,878. The entire amount of the ecclesiastical revenues is calculated to be 50 millions of dollars, and of this sum the part consumed by them is shown to exceed the whole revenue of the state by some eight millions of dollars. BUTCHERY EXTRAORDINARY.-PROVI DENTIAL ESCAPE.—A few days since Mr. H. Hone, of Stoke Orchard, employed a butcher in that neigh bourhood to kill a fine young bull, and as the animal was v ery violent, the man of steel deemed it more prudent to put him to death with powder and ball, than to risk. the " tug of war" in an encounter with the hatchet. A country lad in Mr. Hone's service was accordingly ordered to drive the bull into a narrow passage, partially boarded up at one end, so as to allow the butcher to take aim without personal danger to himself. The gun was forthwith loaded, and the lad, pursuant to orders, stood close behind the bull, with his arms extended so as to prevent the animal's retreat. Ihe butcher fired, and shot the bull dead ; but had the aim proved otherwise than true, or had he missed the animal, he must have killed or dreadfully wounded his thoughtless assistant, who, becoming conscious of the danger to which he had been exposed, as soon as it was over, exclaimed, " I say, Measter Butcher, if thee hadsn't killed Bull, thee must ha' shot'n I"—" By Gogh !" replied the Butcher, shocked at the escape he had had of shedding human blood, " and so I must—l never thotight o' that I"—Chelten ham Journal. RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH. — A German newspaper related the following anec dote : —ln an imperial city, lately, a criminal was con demned to be beheaded, who had a singular itching to play at nine - pins. While his sentence was pronounc ing, he had the temerity to offer a request to be per mitted to play once more at his favourite game at the place of execution, and then, he said, he would submit without a murmur. As the last prayer of a dying man, his request was granted. When arrived at the solemn spot, he found every thing prepare d, the pins being set up and the bowl being ready. He played with no little earnestness, but the sheriff at length, seeing that he showed no inclination to desist, privately ordered the executioner to strike the fatal blow as he stooped for the bowl. The executioner did so, and the head w hat had occurred. He immediately aimed a t dropped into t he cul p rit ' s hand, as he raise d himself to see the nine, conceiving it was the bowl which he grasped. All nine falling, the head loudly exclaimed, " Well, I have won the game. " This reminds us of a story which has been told in proof of the amazing dexterity of the Germa n executioners in cutti ng off . heads with the sabre. A Culprit being bound and prepared for 3: 7_ go a in n v et w nh . h e a t c , r‘ h i imn Shakei d n e a r l e d dy n h o iu i n m rgs , e hies t si hd head, teh s a i e g de, n x a we l ch h ui a nt d ihu been d; the blow, and not feeling it when it came, coolly asked ad th nu e dl been wired but ript displaced, tumbled on the scaffold.

LADY CHARLOTTE BURY'S NEW WORK. Just ready, in 3 vols. post Bvo., THE DISINHERITED, and THE ENSNARED. By the Authoress of " Flirtation," &c. Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington-street. elif 01) *11314 _ 7;44 UNIVERSITIES ADMISSION BILL. Mr: WOOD moved the order of the day for the second reading of this bill. Mr. GOULBURN submitted to the hon. gentle man whether he thought it consistent with the fair discussion of the subject he was bringing forward to introduce it under the circumstances in which he was about to introduce it. He did not believe that the hon. gentleman moved the order of the day with any other view than that of postponing it. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that the hon. gentleman had any other object in view, notwithstanding the assertion of an hon. gentleman near him (Mr. G.), because he (Mr. G.) was 'satisfied that if it were wished that the subject should be fairly discussed, the hon. gentleman would not be a party to an arrangement which would preclude the fair discussion of the subject. He did not believe that the hon. gentleman did not intend that the order of the day should be postponed, because he (Mr. G.) believed the hon. gentleman was in the house yesterday when several committees came before the house for permission to sit to-day and obtained it, thus abstracting from the business of the house a large portion of its effective members who were called upon to attend to those important in terests which were confided to their care. ( Hear, hear.) If it were intended to press this subject to a discussion, the hon. gentleman ought to have objected to those committees being allowed to sit. ( Hear, hear.) He had attended constantly upon the com mittee upon the tea duties, and that day--at that very moment, the committee were entering upon a most important discussion. There was a committee sitting respecting the judges' salaries in Scotland. which in volved a most important - consideration to those mem bers who were interested in the administration of jus tice in Scotland. There were also various private committees ; the Western Railway, and the Islington Market, for instance, had obtained permission to sit and the postponement of which would entail expense and inconvenience. This ought to induce the hon. gentleman to refrain from bringing forward a ques tion of such importance, and one that required to be discussed with a full attendance of members. He still continued to hope that the hon. gentleman would postpone the discussion. He thought that the best opportunity to state generally what were his ( Mr. G.'s) objections to entertaining this important subject. The house was aware that by the mode of arrange ment adopted at the morning sittings, a gentleman might contrive to bring his arguments and his speech within the limited period, and the gentleman who would reply would be cut short by the Speaker leav ing the chair when a certain hour arrived, and his answer would be thereby postponed for a considerable period. If the morning sittings were to be dedicated to the discharge of the ordinary business of the house, they should take care that such questions only would be brought forward as would be disposed of within the time limited for their deletes. He did not approve of the house sitting upon public business while committees were sitting, and he had already stated his objections to such a proceeding, as only a portion of the com mittee, or a portion of the house, could be in atten danbe. Committees upon bills were matters which might be fairly discussed at morning sittings, as they contained a variety of subjects, and five or six of them might be disposed of at one sitting, and five or six at the next. But what had their experience of the tran saction of public business in the mornings taught them ? ( Hear.) An experiment had been made by the noble lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, and what had been the result ? Why they had been obliged to abandon the plan, as it was found that they made no progress. And yet now they were called upon to try the same experiment upon one of the most important questions that had ever come before that house. (Loud cries of Hear, hear.") By the regulations of this house the Government had precedence on three evenings in the week ; and many gentlemen, who had important bills to bring forward, would thus have almost their only chance taken away. ( Hear.) He was aware that the mere discussion upon a petition presented by his right honourable friend the Secretary for the colo nies had lasted an entire week, and was only put an end to by the intervention of the holydays. If that discussion had been upon the great principle which the present measure embraced, did the house suppose that the holidays would have put an end to the discussion ? (Hear, hear.) If they were to com mence this discussion on two days in the week, it would take fourteen days, or seven full weeks, to get through it, to the prejudice of every other measure of importance. That was a proposition to which he hoped the house would never assent. If they were to discuss the measure fairly, let some day be fixed, but let them not have perpetual adjournments of two hours, on two days in each week. (Hear, hear.) Many members would be absent if that arrangement were made, relying upon the prolixity of their friends to keep up the debate. (Loud cheers' and a laugh.) In conclusion he trusted the hon. member would see the necessity of postponing the second reading. Mr. G. W. WOOD said if the right hon. gentle man had any sincere wish to economise the time of the house he would not have occupied so much of it in the present discussion. ( Hear.) The objection could have been made with more propriety when the arrange ment had been made. He did not know why the , right honourable gentleman should suppose that he (Mr. Wood) did not mean to press the second reading of the bill that morning, as he had already intimated his intention to do so. If the bill had been so long delayed it was not his fault, but it was owing to the right hon. gentleman, and those who thought with him, asking for time. There could not be such objection, in his opinion, to adjourned debates, as the house was already familiar with them; and under these circumstances, he must press the second reading of the bill. Sir ROBERT INGL IS felt confident, that unless his Majesty's government appropriated the evening sittings to the discussion of this measure, the consequence would be, that the discussion on the bill would go on from Tuesday to Thursday, and from Thursday to Tuesday, during the sl hole ses sion. In his opinion, the principle of a bill of such vital importance could not be properly discussed in the course of two or three hours ; and he trusted, there fore, the noble lord would not press the second read ing of the bill in the morning sittings. Sir ROBERT' PEEL was rejoiced to see the no ble lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) perusing the Order-book (Great laughter) for the purpose of naming some other day for the discussion of the ques tion. In his opinion, nothing could be more a waste of the time of the house than commencing the morn ing sittings with discussions like the present. In the morning sittings the time was limited, and there was no security that the debate would be resumed the next n otmi aocoy mor ni ng n o f o'clock T gt nae illustrate v aif h avin g sittings, t o,artnr rnn arrived gteha,dehl learned aenrw consequencef c noo o er uz before l dehnei onlyo t f l hi professor cai callet d s being concluded ot attending ahnndegc trfuheo decueonodldtl he see dis cussionsor-. d tirrno a he y woe t i h s d speech h the p sliced oor Laws' Amendment t ue ß n i c l e l f o r f om th t r h ee e n noble veni en t otrod proceed(Lord A w lt i h th orp it. ) h m a o d od b a e y en ne o x b t lig ha e d d been fixed for the Irish Tithe Bill, and he could not see why Wednesday or Friday should not be fixed for this bill. Lord ALTHORP said that his only reason for looking at the order book was for the purpose of seeing if the debate on the bill was proceeded with this morning, it could not be adjourned to the evening, and on looking at the order book he was inclined to think that it might be apprehended the notices would notoccupy the whole evening. (Cries of " No, no.") He could assure the house that his only object in pressing Government business on was to get through it as quickly as possible. Perhaps bon. mem bers would have no objection to devote Saturday to the consideration of the bill. (" Hear, bear," and " No, no.") Sir R. PEEL said, that if the noble lord would give Friday for the Irish Tithes Bill, he might take Saturday for the Poor Laws Bill. Lord ALTHORP did not know why they should make such a change. He did not wish that there should be any interruption in the progress of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, and he thought, therefore, that it would be better to let that bill come on on Friday. If the bill should have passed through thy committee ,be fore Friday, he would have no objection to the other bill coming on on that day. Sir R. PEEL said that there was a great difference between the discussion in detail of several clauses, and upon the discussion of a great principle, to which 2,000 members of the university of Oxford alone had expressed a decided objection. He thought it was not too much to ask for one day for the discussion of so important a measure. He hoped, therefore, the noble lord would allow this bill to be proceeded with on Friday, commencing business at five o'clock. ( Hear.) Lord ALTH ORP said he had no objection to this arrangement, provided that the Poor Laws' Bill should be proceeded with on Saturday. • I Mr. G 0 LTLBURN said tbat nothing could be more satisfactory than this arrangement. After a few words from Mr : E WART, Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said that though he was most anxious to grant every just concession to the dissenters, yet he never could agree as a member of the university, and knowing the situation of the uni versities, he never would agree to admit protestant dissenters in the universities. (Loud cheering from' the opposition.) Mr. G. W. WOOD moved that the order of the day for the second reading of this bill should be post poned till Friday evening, upon the understanding that the debate was positively to come on on that evening. The order was accordingly discharged, and fixed for Friday. Lord R. MANNERS presented a petition from Ashby-de-la-Zouch against the admission of Dissenters to the Universities. Lord GRIMSTONE presented several petitions from Hertfordshire to the same effect. Mr. J. SMITH presented a petition from some place, which we did not hear, owing to the noise made by members leaving the house, in favour of the claims of the Dissenters. Sir J. TYRRELL presented a petition against the admission of Dissenters to the Universities from some parish in Essex. Lord GROSVENOR presented petitions from the towns of Ashby-de:la-Zouch and Packingtou to the same effect. _ Petitions were also presented by Captain Yorke, from several parishes in the county of Cambridge, against the claims of Dissenters, and against beer shops ; by Mr. Herbert, from Wiltshire, in support of the Church ; by Mr. Hope, from Staffordshire , to the same effect ; by Sir Robert Inglis, from Southampton and othr places against the claims of Dissenters, and twenty others from parishes in South ampton, in support of the union in church and state ; by Mr. nrri nrmmrdiyf M tksesaebhra:g r r dw.eio . idraioeuehyb l rfrao V ,yseAdtfuo i ,cv l pssiropb s yeNp o imtyerer.to n yttEhpirLßtettlHf P isaheoo.o a ei,wercif t lldhe t sinsitnc e unnihgpgAg n or,erime , nrsieohsiaecpsi f ,fiflhe r ;aeuer o tnu rraryerh m etenbe: parishes .C9urt of Common Pleas; eecbdisyfdhyaldr from hsnmt r iirr . reep.: S asF t r. saorenefrhllgw weavers, relative tevofenr Dorset shire, from sr andttoehhmtee for some improvements in the borough gaols of Scot ar.betktoytteaodtcth,hhteeltihe attached t o vast t p na ose. although t t i those baronettniuo n m s b peprer thet waseoi f signatures appended to those petitions which had been presented in favour of the claims of Dissenters.

( Hear, hear.) This must bet matter of great satisfaction both to that numerous a nd respectable body of his Majesty's subjects, as well al to those gentlemen who advocated their claims, and the house should bear in mind the distinction to be made between a display of numerous flimsy petition s meagerlysigned and the real weight of pet itions signe4t .y large and closely-connected portions of the commsnier EnglishK N So A m T e petitions vißthue L Commutationo'clo ck. ce ß rt i ai ll, n film parishes in THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.) l t a on tt h .eN apoli, the e2p Ist 6t o h r ..

The Government has passed a decree abolishing convents and confiscating all the property to the ser vice of the state. The edifices are to be converted into hospitals and seminaries of learning. This mea sure, we feel apprehensive, will be the cause of another of those internal wars from which Mex i co has suffered so much; it is contemplated to restrict foreigners from engaging in her retail business.
