The first Parli.l:. - lentary division since the new arrangement of the Administration, took place last night in the House of Lords, on the motion for referring the Corn Bill to a Committee, when the numbers for the motion were 120 ; against it 63—leaving a majority for Ministers of 57. When it is considered that amazing efforts have been made to procure the defeat of this bill, and that the main strength of the new Opposition lies in the Upper House, this majo rity may be considered as decisive of the stabi lity of the new Government. In the Commons, Sir T. Lethbridge played his old part of Q ues _ tionist, and Mr. Dawson played the new part of a reformer of abuses, and an advocate of rigid economy.— Times. Lord Charles Somerset, and his crutch, Lord Bathurst—the latter now happily at length inca pable of supporting, by the much-abused means and appliances of office, the ignoble weight which pressed upon him, have left us one more item to add to the list of their crimes against the honour of the King's Government, and the free dom and welfare of his colonial subjects. We had hoped, until the documents on this point were submitted to us, that the political portraits of both the above personages had been actually finish ed—that the • likeness, being complete and decked out with all necessary adjuncts,—no new incident or decoration remained, on which the pencil of history could find room any further to expatiate ; and that since little time need be lost in varnishing over the canvass of a defunct Minister, both one and the other of these illus trious but no longer puissant effigies, were ready to be hung up, for the vulgar eye to de vour, or that of taste to turn from with acute and contemptuous loathing. 'We were mistaken in this comfortable hope. It appears from the papers which we publish, that even after Lord Charles Somerset's arrival in England, to an swer for his old transgressions, he contrived to furnish matter for fresh and not trivial charge, —that, " lifting his crutch," he had still power to strike a revengeful blow at his most dreaded enemy, the organ of public feeling and principle at the Cape. He made, it appears, a represen tation to Lord Bathurst, that certain statements which had been copied from the Times and other English newspapers into Mr. Greig's South African Commercial Advertiser, at Cape -town, " were of a false and calumnious nature ;" and therefore, what (lid the honest and public-spirited, the just and humane Lord Bathurst ? Did he, conjointly with Lord Charles Somerset, attack the English journals which con tained the " false and calumnious" accusations ? Did either or both these bright samples of nobility dare to contradict the criminatory state ments, or bring them under discussion here ? No ; they knew something of the English press. They " durst as well face the devil." They went to work in a more Lord Charles-like manner. Lord Bathurst, who had never so far listened to the col lective and reiterated complaints of the whole co lonial population of South Africa, as to take any one active step for the redress of their known griev ances, or the condign punishment of their hated op pressor,—this Lord Bathurst took for granted at once, the bare assurance of the man thus loaded with obloquy, for the falsehood of charges on which he ought to have been tried, not trusted; and sent out -.n order to the Lieutenant-Governor of the Cape to cancel the licence of Mr. Greig, the editor, and extinguish the only efficient channel through which intelligence of any value to men's rights or interests could find its way throughout society. This was a base, back-handed blow, not struck until more than ten months after the alleged offence had been given,—levelled at the best enjoyments of the community—at public opinion, at political independ ence, at individual prosperity, property, and honour. The day of trial, we persuade ourselves, approaches, and the late Colonial-office, as well as its favourite minions, will have to answer before " God and the " country.”—lbid. A very numerous Meeting took place yes terday, at the Freemasons Tavern, of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Forn;gii Parts ; the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chair. i lie object of the Society is to diffuse the doctrines and discipline of the Esta blished Church of England, and the appeal to the public for aid will no doubt be met with corresponding liberality. With respect to the merits of the Society abundant information will be found in the account of the Report, and of the various speeches at the Meeting. As the Meeting was exclusively composed of Members of the Established Church, no exception can be taken by the members of other persuasions at what fell from the Bishop of London, who ob served, that " they had to thank Almighty God that ever since the Reformation the doctrines of the Primitive Church had been revived in this country, and uniformity of discipline was neces sary to preserve Christianity in its purity. When every individual Minister was left to act without any human responsibility, there was no security either for sound doctrine or right conduct. But this Society, by preserving the unity of doctrine and of discipline, had made the Church in those regions (America) like a city set on a bill that could not be hid." As far as we can learn, this Anglican-Episcopal Church is, at this day, the greatest favourite in the United States; but we fear we should give no small offence to the Bishop of London were we to hint at the cause of its great and growing popularity ; though, " as a c ity se t on a hill cannot be bid," it is probable that his Lord ship is himself possessed of the requisite informa tion on this subject. But what fell from one of the speakers, Dr. Philpots, is deserving of some re mark. Speaking of the duties of the Govern ment of this country, as connected with the reli gious instruction of the Colonies, " he regretted to say that, even in the reign of William 111., the Government of the country had abandoned its duties in this respect. It had evinced what he might call a criminal neglect of duty, by leaving the Colonies without any established re ligious instruction. He had an abstract of the Charter, constituting this Corporation, in his possession, and it proceeded on the narrative that the North American Colonies were then without any established ordinances of religion. He hoped the Government would now at least feel itself bound to provide a proper religious Establishment for the old colonists, as well as for those who had lately and were now about to emigrate. This was a most sacred obligation, from which the Government ought not to flinch; and it would have been better if former Arch bishops and Bishops had, instead of calling for a Charter, insisted that the Government should Even in point of temporal policy, it would have beta wise in the Government to have formed an Establishment in unison with the English Church among their emigrated Colonies: A more acute man than Dr. Philpots—Burke—has ob served, " The Turk cannot govern Egypt, and Arabia, and Curdistan, as he governs Thrace ; nor has he the same dominion in the Crimea and Algiers, which he has at Brusa and Smyrna. Despotism itself is obliged to truck and huck ster. The Sultan gets such obedience as he can. He governs with a loose rein, that he way govern at all ; and the whole of the force and vigour of his authority in his centre is derived from a prudent relaxation in all his borders. Spain, in her provinces, is per haps not so well obeyed as you (England) are in yours. She complies too ; she sub mits ; she watches time. This is the immuta ble condition, the eternal law, of extensive and detached empire." It is very easy for Dr. Phil pots to talk of the obligation of Government to establish the English Episcopal Church in Ame rica ; impossibilities cost this worthy zealot no thing. Would the Colonists have submitted to the establishment ? The settlement of New Eng land—to which it is owing that all our Colo nists in America are not such savages as the Spaniards in America are at this day, and will continue,, we fear, for centuries to come—was founded by a congregation of English Puritans, who could not endure the licentiousness of Eng land, and removed with Mr. R obinson, their pastor, to Holland ; but finding that the Dutch, though possessed of the Calvinistic doctrine and discipline, allowed barbers to shave, and the common people to amuse themselves with games on the Lord's day, they, after a time, removed from Holland to England, with a view to pass from thence to the wilds of America. These devoted and determined people, unable to brook the relaxation of Europe, and hating Bishops as cordially as they hated the Pope, landed in a wilderness at the setting in of a dreary winter, during which a number of them perished. The survivors, however, made good their ground ; and being men actuated by religious enthusiasm, and being joined only by persons of the same cast, their first object was the preservation of their religion in its purity: whence they did not, like emigrants in other parts of America, spread themselves over the country, thereby losing their civilization, but settled township after township, providing regularly for religious worship and education. Who but a Dr. Philpots would have thought of the possibility of cramming an esta blishment on men like these, who, in detestation of their own at home, preferred a North American wilderness and a North American winter, without means to defend themselves against its severity ? But stout-hearted would have been the clergyman who should have endeavoured to disturb them ; for if they had more than a due share of the religion of that day, they had also more than a due share of its intolerance ; and the manner in which they slaughtered the Quakers and other Heretics who set foot among them, was a lesson which Church of England Clergymen would hardly neglect. If Dr. Philpots' nonsense had regard to the past only, we should not have thought of noticing it. But unfortunately, our remaining North American Co lonies, in which the members of the Anglican Church hardly form one-hundreth part of the popu lation, are now in a state of ferment on account of this very idea of establishing the English Church among them. Out of the whole of the Legislature of Upper Canada, there are but two Churchmen. If the counsels of such zealots as Dr. Philpots were i to be followed, the most deplorable consequences would follow. Men of all parties who have visited that fine Colony argue that its prosperity has been immensely retarded by the reserving land for the Church, - with a view to an establishment. We grant that if the people of England consent to be taxed for Clergymen for our Colonies, that then we can have an establishment in them; but who would dare to recommend this ? We were glad to sec that the intemperance of Dr. Philpots was rebuked by t'ie Heads of the Church. He knows, too, as little of the history of the United States as he seems to know of other matters, when he asserts " that in the revolted Provinces, almost all those who had be longed to the Episcopal Church adhered to the cause of England." Dr. Ramsay, (and all the anthori ties concur with him) the attachment of the Episcopalians to England to the Northern Pro vinces, where the population were almost exclu sively Presbyterians and Independents. " Most of the Episcopal Ministers of the Northern Pro vinces were pensioners on the bounty of the British Government (being without adequate congregations.) The greatest part of their Clergy, and many of their laity, in those provinces, were therefore disposed to support a connection with Great Britain. The Episcopalian Clergy in the Southern Provinces, be ing under no such bias, were often among the warmest Whigs. Some of them foreseeing the downfall of religious establishments, from the suc cess of the Americans, were less active ; but in ge neral, where their Church was able to support it self, their Clergy and laity zealously espoused the cause of independence. Great pains were taken to persuade them, that those who had been called Dis senters, were aiming to abolish the Episcopal Establishment, to make way for their own exalta tion ; but the good sense of the people restrained them from giving any credit to the unfounded sug tion. Religious controversy was happily kept out of view. The well-informed of all denominations were convinced that the contest was for their civil rights, and, therefore, di d n et suffer any other considera tions to interfere or disturb their union." Of all the religious bodies, the only one, almost exclusively with England, was th at o f the Quakers ; and in Pensylvania they were numerous, and had power in their hands. Yet a man like this Dr. Philpots, whom any schoolboy could convict of ignorance, contrives, by dint of a certain quality, which we shall not name, to thrust himself forward as a stay of the Church, and the antagonist of distinguished States men !—Morning Chronicle. No man of the world, possessed of however moderate a share of common sense and right feeling, can, we should imagine, have read at tentively the statement put forth by Wakefield, in the shape of an appeal to the House of Lords, as it appeared in our Paper of yesterday, and not come to this conclusion—viz. that it rot only fails in offering the smallest shadow of pre tence towards attaining the object the writer pro fesses to have in view, but throughout amply and indisputably confirms the guilt of the writer, the justice of his sentence, and the imperative call there is upon the Legislature to defeat the evi dently still remaining objects and artifices of such a man. We would say nothing of the taste or the conscience of a man, who can put forth such a statement as this, relative to a youth ful female seduced to err (if she has erred at all) by the insidiousness of an artful and accomplish- RAW HIDES.

Taking every word of this statement to be true, what would it prove, but that he had by delusive arts so worked upon th e imagination of a girl of sixteen, just let loose from the restraints of a boarding school, as to lead her to acts of levity, with which he has now the baseness to upbraid her ? Every step, therefore, that he takes only plunges him deeper in crime; and though the House of Lords will naturally hear him, if he desires it, before it passes the Bill to set aside this mock contract, we should think he may spare himself the pains, if he has not both better facts and arguments to offer than those to which we have alluded; and to which, by the by, we should riot have alluded at all, if the ap peal had been confined to the proper tribunal, instead of being made public, apparently for the double pur pose of catching the stray votes of weak and wrong headed people ; and of throwing unmerited odium on a quarter which no man, with the feelin g s of a man, would, under suds circumstances at least, at tempt to stigmatise.—Morning Herald. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of Friday.) SUGAR.—There is no particular alteration in the Sugar Market this week ; the demand for Muscovades has been steady and considerable, and we think the prices of good and fine Sugars are rather higher.—The public sale of 120 hhds. Barbadoce, the first new Sugars from that island, sold yesterday with briskness at very full prices, 595. a 70s. —There is no alteration to-day in Muscovades, the de mand is considerable, the prices rather higher. The sales this week nearly 3,000 hhds.—ln the Refined Market this week, the demand fur low goods for export 1, s rather increased, and the prices are again rather higher. No Lumps offer under 81s.—Molasses are 245. 6d.—The Bengal Sugars this week have sold rather lower.—The Benares, 1,000 bags, nearly all taken in 335. a 565. A small parcel of 148 chests White and Yellow Havannah were offered at public sale ; the White was of good quality and colour, and brot:ght from 43s to 445. 64. whiCa is Is. to Is. 6d. under the previous prices obtained by private contract ; the Yellows were likewise of good quality and colour, and brought from 345. 6d. to 355., which also may be considered rather under former prices.—The Mauritius sale, 1,600 packages, to-day sold Is. higher ; the Yellows particularly were high : the price 555. 6d. for dry Brown, up to 635. for fine Yellow. COFFEE. —The public sales this week have gone off steadily at full prices ; Domingo 455. 6d. up to 465. PROVISIONS.—There bag been no final settlement as to the duty on Foreign Provisions, the g - eneral report of the Market is that the transit duty will be about I Is. per cwt. payable on the shipment of the provisions. In Irish Beef and Pork there is no alteration, the purchases still in a great measure suspended. Some India Hamburgh Beet has been sold at Si. 10s. In American no purchases are reported. Bacon continues in good demand ; some new Irish Butter has sold at 105 s. ; Dutch 100 s. INDIGO.—The Market is rather heavy, but no parcels are forced for sale at lower prices. The accounts from Calcutta to the 25th January, state the estimated crop at 75,000 maunds, the quality very inferior. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market looked firm and improving, and the price had advanced to 38s. 3d., when extensive sales for future delivery took place, which lowered the Market ; these contracts were made in some instances 3d. to 6d. under the market prices, with the privilege to the seller of making the quantity double, if he thought proper. In Hemp or Flax there was no material alteration. SlLKS.—Bengal Silks are selling, or rather they are offered, :at is. a Is. Eid. below last sale's cost; but little is doing in the Market. The general opinion is, that a fur ther reduction must take place, the trade is so flat. COTTON—The sales of Cotton in London for the week last night inclusive, consist of 100 80wed...6d a sid I 230 Bengal... 4d a 4-id 1,000 Surat...4id a Sidl 100 Smyrna . 9id duty paid. " Manchester, 23d May, 1827. " The demand for Calicos for printing (both for home consumption and exportation) as well as for Ginghams and fancy Muslins, during the last five or six days is without precedent, and the prices and those asked last week, and with some difficulty obtained, may be easily got to-day. The Stocks of manufactured grey goods have not been known so low during the Dist five years. It is in contem plation, at Blackburn, to advance weavers' wages again thi , week 3d. per piece. lam of opinion it will be done, and from the present appearance of things, I think the Market will support or warrant the manufacturers in doing it." SPICES—East India Spices continue neglected. Pi mento sold rather higher, very ordinary 91d. to 10d. for good. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND6-The Rum Contract with Government was taken yesterday, 60,000 gallons; at Is. Hid., the remainder, 40,000, to be brought from an outport, a shade above Is. 11d. ; it has an unfavourable effect on the Market, bringing the prices of proof Leewards down to 2s. a 2s. Id. ; the sales of Rum previously well too inconsiderable for enumeration. Brandies are not quite so heavy : a few purchases are reported. 1826 about 3s. 7d. : 1825 and 1824 3s. 3d. a 3s. Id.

TO THE RIGHT HCH. THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AHD TEM PORAL OF THE trwiTzn KINGDOM OF !SMUT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IA PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The Humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Western Portion of the Metroplie, Snrwmt: That your petitioners beg leave #o submit to your Lord ships, that the principle of the Acts of Parliament, under which several Companies supplying the Metropolis with Water were instituted, was to encourage competition; see ing that it is only from competition that a perfect security can be had for a good, a cheap, and a plentiful supply. That, nevertheless, by an arrangement entered into, about the year one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, between tite several Companies supplying the Metropolis with ter, 11l competition was put an end to, and a monopoly of this necessary of life virtually establish - 1 That the water taken up from the River Thames, at Chelsea, for the use of the inhabitants of the western por tion of the metropolis, being charged sv;''a the contents of the great common sewers, the draining, from dung-hills and lay-stalls, the refuse of hcspitals, slatK , hter-houses, co lour, lead, and soap-works, drug-mills, and manufactories, and with all sorts of decomposed animal and vegetabieaub stances, rendering the said water offensive, and deetruefve to health, ought no longer to be taken up, by any of the Water Companies from so foul a source. That the Grand Junction Water-works Company, hav ing engaged to supply their customers. with water of the purest and most wholesome quality. to be drawn from the Rivers Collie and Brent, and from an is menes reservoir of nearly one hundred acres, fed by toe streams of the Vale of Ruislip, have, nevertheless, since the month of gapteniber, 1820, drawn their supply from the Thames, at the foot of Chelsea Hospital, and nearly adjoining to th, month of the Great Ranelagh Com:non`_rower. That the Water supplied by the Grand Junction fim pally, to more than seven thousand families, ham Leen prO nounced, by professional men of the first eminence, to be tt 51thy fluid, loaded with decayed vegetable matter and other substances equally deleterious to nealth, and unfit for do mestic purposes. That the Grand Junction Company, havin promised to supply their customers with water, at a coropelatively small charge, have, nevertheless, exacted tau increased rate, equivalent, in no case, to less then fifty per cent., and ex tending, in most instances, to ninety and a hundred per cent. ; and that they obtained, in May last, the sanction of the Legislature to a new table of rates, by which an ad lition of from fifty to three hundred per cent. may be levied on their customers. That your petitioners are convinced, that if an inquiry be instituted by your Honourable House, the several elle., tions of this petition will be eatisfactofily established, ana that means will be discovered for placing the Supply of Water to the Western portion of the Metropolis on a sure and lasting foundation. Your petitioners therefore, humbly pray, that your Lordships will forthwith cause an inquiry to be made be fore a Committee of your Honourable House. And your petitioners wi;l ever pray. Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from an indi. vidwil of the county of Middlesex, complaining of the pre sent Bankrupt Laws. Lord DACRE presented petitions from a hundred in the North Bing of York ; frcm a hundred in Warwick ; and from several parishes in Sussex, against the Corn Laws. Lord KING presented petitions from Dundee, and from the Board of Police at Dundee, in favlur of the Corn Laws. The Noble Lord had a petition to present from an individual, who thought it better that Corn should come to him cheap, than that be should be obliged to go to cheap Corn. But as there was some informality in the petition, his Lordship would not then press it. Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from the county of Kent, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord CURZON presented a similar one from Henley, in Leicestershire. The Earl of ABINGDON presented a similar one from the vicinity of Abingdon, in Berke. Lori DRLAWARE presented a similar one from Ken', The Earl of DARLINGTON presented a petition fro the Protestant Dissenters of South Shields, praying for s. Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. His Lordsh./ read an extract of a letter which accompanied the petition. The writer of the letter disclaimed, in the most unqualified terms on the part of the Dissenters any intention to im , pede or embarrass the present Government. The petitions were then laid on the table. Lord DUDLEY presented returns of the eipesaditure of the Foreign Office department. CORN BILL. The Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committe having been read, Lord GODERICH rose and spoke to the following effect :—lf, my Lords, I ask on the present occasion for your patience and indulgcnce, I can assure you, I do not ask it as a matter of favour, because inde pendently of the intense ite,)ortance of the question—inde pendently of the great interest which it is calculated to excite among all classes; indeed, I may say, the vehement feelings, if not passion, with -bich it is regarded by its friends and opposers out of doors,—independently of the ardour with which one ekes regard it as a measure of benefit, and of the terror with which, on the other hand, its opposers contemplate it, independently of all these considera tions, I cannot, my Lords, but recollect in whose place I now stand.—(Cheers.)—lf my Lords, the Noble Earl, lately at the head of his Majesty's Government, had not been unable to attend and assist in your Lordships' Councils, h' would have been here to explain to you the principles and details of this most import.. ant measure. When I recollect the number of years during which that Nobleman acted a distinguished part in the deliberations of this House, when I recol lect that he had a capacity endowed with a clearness almost peculiar to himself to explain, and simplify the most diffi cult and complicated subject ; and finally, when I recollect that no man within thee* walls, by his personal cha racter as well as by his strength of mind, enjoy ed so large share of the confidence of your Lordships ; it is impossible that I should not feel the weight which this measure must have derived from his advocacy—(Cheers) —and the immeasurable distance at which I am placed from him. There is, however, my Lords, one point in which I will not yield even to my Noble F. end, and that is, the deep and sincere conviction which I have felt in com mon with what are his ecutiments, that the Bill now before your Lordships, will be productive of the greatest benefit to all classes of his Majesty's subjects, and to none more than to that particular class to which your Lordships belong, and which naturally looks up to you for the protection of their interests. lam fortified my Lords by this conviction, formed, I can assure you after no small deliberation. lam convinced also, that whatever feeling or doubts your Lordships may entertain as to the policy of this measure, whatever prejudice: you may have towards it, will be overcome, and that this Bill will pass into a law. lam fortified in the conclusion to which 'I have come by the sentiments which I know that my Noble Friend, now unfortunately absent, entertained ; and I am fortified also by the opinions of *eta Noble Lords, who have lately become connected with his Ma jesty's Gov ernment ; a connection founded upon principles which no man can impeach ; a connection, moreover, cal culated to protect and serve the ;nterests of their country. I know, my Lords, that much blame has been cast on his Majesty's government for agitating this question at all. (Hear, hear.)—There were many considerations which should deter the Government :Lan touching it without the most clear and palpable necessity. That necessity (continued the Noble Lord) did arise from circumstances which it was impossible to contreul, and from transactions connected with that class which now more violently than any other opposed the present measure. The present laws came into operation almost immediately after they had been enacted in 1815. The ports were at once closed, and were again opened after ors of the worst harvests and most unfavourable seasons that had occurred wi the memory of man. It in fact affected the growth of corn all over Europe : the ports were opened from the sth November 1810, to February 1818. ft T oh h re e a ir tvherre L aeg o e rd mb el eo l nin ips tghs. would recollect that the harvest of 1817 was a v ery i n diff erent one , an d th oug h t h e P orte we re thrown open , t h e Corn s l o en s gt hu b l , in o g n e, the tbe pe stl r i te F w eb e . r , e continued to rise t o au en ormous pri ce , They remained c l o s e d no l onger I c B lo l sta 6, l than that peri o d, and were ag a i n o p ene d, w h en i n c onsequence of the shortness of su ppl y t h e p r i ces aga i n " n u 6 n l d ear*
