If this be the fact, it would appear from yesterday's proceedings, else where described, that some importance is attached ro the opinions of the confederates on the part of his Majesty's Government. Mr. Stanley is said to have invited the representatives for Ireland to a conference at Lord Althorp's, in Downing -street ; where, accordingly, a numerous meeting took place. At this meeting it was announced by Mr. Stanley, that a Bill for " the regulation" of the yeomanry corps throughout Ireland had been prepared by' his Majesty's Ministers, and the Right Hon. Gentleman, explained its provisions to the audience, v iz., th at the individual yeomen were to be disarmed, and their arms deposited in district eepots; that the corps, now separate, were to be formed into batta lions, and to be tinder the immediate command of the Lord Lieutenant of the county; but that, except on sudden and extraordinary emergencies, even the Lord Lieutenant of the county should not have power to embody and call out the yeomanry without the sanction of the Lord Lieutenant of the kingdom. Such being the main provisions of the Bill, several Irish Members are said ..to have declared at once their strongest disapprobation of the whole project, as tending to fortify and perpetuate the yeomanry system, instead of conducing to its gradual over throw and suppression. Unquestionably, if such a thing as a yeoman force be suff e r e d t o ex i st at all i n Ireland, it cannot exist without " regulations" very diffi-rent from those by which it has hitherto been directed. So far as they go, the new arrangements proposed by Mr. Stanley are good. The arms will be taken from those who h ave never employed them but under excitements which fostered the most dreadful reaction in the mind of three-fourths of their country, and the factious and petty squires, who have heretofore prompted the vindictive spirit of the yeomanry, will, in spite of their office of local magistralcs, be altogether excluded from the san guinary privilege of calling out their corps of yeo men, to butcher the people as they list. So far, we repeat, is good. But on what principle is it, we should like to know, that one class, or, what is worse, one sect of the King's subjects, are to be embodied, aimed, and thereby stimu lated, for the purpose of keeping down another ? Can " peace, in the spirit of peace," be maintained, while one sect is placed at the mercy of another ? While the Protestant (for we have heard that the yeomen are nearly all Protestants)—whil e the Pro testant only is confided in by the Stare, can the Catholic ever become worthy of political confidence? We are aware that times may be critical—we cannot disguise from ourselves the fact, that circumstances might occur in Ireland which would render it a valuable object to have every natural friend of the throne, of law, and property, and religion, in readiness to buckle on his armour, and to repel and assist in crushing the designs of traitors or incen diaries. But we will not anticipate so monstrous a revolution in the posture of our domestic affairs. In tire mean time let justice be done ; let that equal respect for all classes of our fellow subjects, which inspired the framers of the Catholic Bill, be mani fested in the policy of their successors-towards the hulk of the people of Ireland. If wrong be de signed by any, let it not he provoked by the King's Government. So shall England have the suffrages of mankind, and conscious rectitude to support her The debate, or conversation, in the House of Lords last night, related to two subjects of very different character and interest—the Coronation and the Beer Bill : the means of gratifying the love of pageantry in the rich, and the regulations necessary to controul the pleasures of the poor. The great point of the approaching ceremony, to which a Noble Lord in Opposition called the attention or his Majesty's Ministers, was the intended mode of per forming " homage" by the Peers. His Lords 4 has evidently a most loyal zeal in this aff&r, arid therefore is alarmed at the introduction of the " re presentative" system into Westminster Abbey on this occasion. The performance of homage by proxy appears to him a curtailment of his privil ege , and the possessor of a new coronet may naturally be more anxious to display it, than a Peer who has inherited one from a long line of ancestors. What a pity that some mode cannot be discovered by which such a display could be made to gratify a harmless vanity, without creating a serious incon venience. But the " homage" to which the Noble Lord adverts, if performed by all the Peers in the realm, would really impose a severe tax on the Royal patience, besides being a r;diculous and grotesque exhibition. Giving our readers credit for a laudable shortness of memory on such subjects, we transcribe from the Anuual Register the account of this part of the ceremony at the last Coronation : " The Archbishop first knelt down before his Majesty's knees, and the rest of the Bishops knelt on either hand, and about him ; and they did their homage together, for the shortening of the ceremony, the Archbishop saying, I, Charles, Archbishop of Canterbury (and so every one of the rest, 1, N., Bishop of N., repeating the rest au dibly after the Archbishop) will be faithful and true, and faith and truth will bear, unto you our Sovereign Lord, and your heirs, Kings of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. And I will do, and truly acknow., ledge the service of the lands which I claim to hold of you, as in right of the church. So help me God.' " Then the Archbishop kissed the King's left cheek, and so the rest of the Bishops present after him. " After which the other Peers of the realm did their homage in like manner, the Dukes first by themselves, and so the Marquisses, the Earls, the Viscounts, and the B irons, severally ; the first of each order kneeling before his Majesty, and the rest with and about him, all putting off their coronets, and the first of each class beginning, and the last saying after him, ' I, N., Duke, or Earl, &c., of N., do become your liege man of l►fe and limb, and of earthly worship, and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God.' " Instead of making his Majesty be slobbered and sworn to, by some 300 or 400 Peers, it is proposed, at the approaching Coronation, that the eldest title of each grade shall perform the ceremony for all the rest. This would certainly be considered by some Noble Lords as a dangerous innovation. Nay, we should not be surprised to hear it denounced as Ja cobinical and revolutionary—allied to the Reform Bill —and destructive of the ancient and undoubted rights of their Lordships, did we not happily find that in the good feudal Anti-Reform times of George 111., the abridged form was introduced. " Whilst Te Deuvi was singing," says the same veracious authority, which we have formerly quoted, " The Duke of Devonshire, Lord Chamberlain, pronounced the words of the homage for all the. Dukes—the Marquis of Rockingham, for all the garquises—Eirl Talbot, for all the Eails—Vis count Say and Sele, the Viscounts—and Lord Henley, Lord High Chancellor, for the Barons; - each of them taking off his coronet, touch ing the King's crown, and kis:sing his left cheek." This concentration of the essence of a v(ry absurd ceremony is a great improvement on the old practice. Probably a still greater improvement would be its entire abolition. But if his Majesty cannot be thus relieved from it altogether, let him at least have the consolation of Dr. Johnson, who, being asked by a mother to hear her family of chil dren rehearse a hymn, which they all began, to her great annoyance, to bawl out at once, desired her to " let the poor dear things go on, for they would he the sooner done." The Till proposed to amend the Act for regulating the retail trade in beer called forth a greater variety of noble speakers, many of whom had their separate sugge-tions for its improve ment. Into the character ar♦d tendency of those suggestions we have not at present time to enter. Their Lordships showed more anxiety about the morals of beer-drinkers than about their comforts or convenience. Why the restraints imposed on the poor who frequent a beer-shop should be more ri gorous than those imposed on the rich who frequent a tavern, we cannot tell. The poor should not be molested in their enjoyments any more than the rich, if in pursuit of those enjoyments they occa sion no damage, disturbance, or inconvenience to their neighbours. The Police and the Magistrate are already power enough, either to regulate or annoy—and beer-shops may be left under the com mon lam of the land, like the shops of bakers or grocers.-7'imes. The Belgian question was brought formally before the House of Commons last night by Sir Richard Vyvyan, in a speech evincing considerable ability. lie commenced by alluding to the various notices which he had given, and the grounds on which Ire had consented to postpone h:s motion. On Thurs (ley last he was, he said, fully determined to perse vere in his motion. " But he was again asked to postpone it for another reason—namely, that the French Government had given a solemn as , urance that the French troops would with draw as soon as the Dutch troops hod repassed their fron tiers. On this question it was the House was now called ' !limn to debate. It was a question in which the honour of England was interested—on which it was, in fact, deeply pledged.—(Cheers.) He need not add, that, after the explanation—after the positive assurance of the Noble L , rd opposite, the honour of his Majesty's Ministers stood pledged.—(Hear, hear ) And now, notwithstanding this solemn assurance on the part of the French Government to the Alinister of this country, it appeared that France had determined to maintain thirty thousand men, as an army of observation, in Belgium —to remain there—so the flemisofficial report of that evening stated—encamped at Nivelle4, until the Dutch had disbanded half their army, and paid all the expenses of the war.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) On Thur.-day last the Noble Lord opposite bad declared that the French troops were to withdraw as soon as the Dutch bad retired beyond their frontiers ; and to-day it was stated, and no doubt they would hear it de fended, that 30,000 men were to remain in occupation of Belgium." This affair of the occupation of Belgium by the French troops is eagerly laid hold of by the Oppo sition, as they view in it the means of embarrassing Ministers, and are not without hope that declarations may be drawn from them, from which pride may not allow them to recede, and thus the country may be dragged into a war. In order to make the more of this promising subject of the occupation of Bel gium, it becomes necessary for the Opposition to show that the measure is al . ogether uncalled for with regard to the King of Holland—that his Dutch Majesty was an excellent Sovereign to the Belgians —that since the revolution his conduct has through out been unobjectionable—that he has not violated any agreement—that he was entitled to enter Bel gium with an army : and that having withdrawn that army, nothing more can be demanded of him, and the occupation of Belgium is therefore utterly indefensible. It is unprofitable now to discuss the met its of the-- Government of the King of the Netherlands as Sovereign of Belgium, the separation between Holland and Belgium be ing no longer questioned. Sir Richard, how ever, dwelt much on this part of the subject, for a very obvious reason. The Aristocracy of every country in Europe are tremblingly alive to the French a n d B e l g i an revo l ut i ons; a nd it is hoped that the a l arm o f t h e hi g h er c l ass e s of this country will lead th em to o pp ose a ll at t em pts to conciliate the people by putting an end to the reign o f corruption. " When the revolution or rebellion," said Sir Richard, broke out in Brussels, it was said that the King of the Netlerlands was a tyrant as regarded civil liberty, and a bigot in relation to religious toleration.—(Hear, hear, from Mr. O'Connell.) He could well understand that cheer from the Hon. Member for Kerry. The mask was now torn from the faces of many in Europe, who had hi. therto walked in disguise.—(Cheers.) NV hat had occurred in Belgium, ere long, might happen elsewhere.—(Hear, hear.) The real cause of the revolution in France, in July last, was now well known. These causes, were in fact, the same which had afterwards operated in Belgium ; and if the spirit were not checked, it might be found in full It was fit that the su bj ect s h ould no B e nches.) power n e arer home.--(Much cheering f rom t h e Opposi tionlonger be blinked ; it was high time to speal out, since dang e r was at hand ; far while the centre of revolution was in Paris, the right wing was in Brussels, an d t h e left wi n g might, ere long, be in Dubli n . — (lll uch cheer ing.) The system was the same in Belgium and in Ire land. In the one, the cry was against the College of Louvain, and in the other against the Kildare -street So ciety."--(Cheers.) There is in this, however, not a little ineonsis tency. The object of Sr Rich ar d i s to s h ow, that the cause of the Belgian Revolution is the same with that of the French Revolution. But then, the sam e cause is in operation in Ireland, and its work ings are discernible in Ireland in opposition to in struction, as t h e y were discernible in Belgium in opposition to instruction. This is intended as a th rust a gainst democracy ; and a thrust, at the same tim e , against the Catholic religion. Sir Richard would kill two birds with one stone ; but, unfortu nately for him, the French Liberals have a much more unequi vo cal hatred of Jes u it s t h an h e hi mself has,n: enadg etrthe democratic party in F rance h ave a l ways promote education. In France, the Revolution a nnihilated the power of the priests. In Belg i um , it is true, two parties, seldom united, op posed the King—the party of the Liberals, and the party of the Priests. Misfortunes, they say, make men acquainted w i t h strange b ed-fellows. The Liberals and the Priests had each their grounds - of co mplaint; the one complained of oppression in ge neral, the other of interference with their religion. With respect to Ireland, it cannot, surely, be said that an excessive benevolence on the part of the Aristocracy towards the people, an excessive eager ness to protect the people by good institutions, have caused the disaffection-to which Sir Richard Vyvyan alludes. Surely Ireland is not to be held up in ter rorein to all Governments anxious to improve their people. It may be true that, some day or other, the people of Ireland may avail themselves of embar rassment in England to take their shillelahs into their hands, and say we are the masters. But the cause of this disaffection is not the French Revolution, but the misgovernment of England, which, leaving a whole people in beggary, disposes them to be acted on by every impulse, Ireland is the worst governed country of Europe, without exception. Tithes and rack-rents, exacted by an armed force from a starv ing population, constitute government in Ireland. Even now it is deemed an enormous innovation that a provision for the poor, essential to all well-ordered societies, should be proposed. It is a source of consolation to the friends of social improvement to find that the part of the empire where revolution is most dreaded, is that where the least has been done ew he tells us -- ds t a He uh o sa ever, however, to prevent it. B ut S i r Richard Vyvyan, in fact, answered him se lf . In one breath he tells us that the e c a o f f te t r h t e va F rd re s n o c p h er ß at e e v d ol i u n ti ß on el ‘ g v i e u r me . the li s i a t m he next, same which convinced that one of the cousequences of the late revolution in France would, sooner or later, be war. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, when he saw that on the one side there had been an attempt to establish a despotism, and on the other a 4 liberal feeling, though too ' touch exaggerated, he could not say that lie regretted the o , rati o c f e t , m ag o i r a e n t d h , an T he ho r u eg g r h ett a e l d i ~ , i x e p riA i sb i od n i cao t f i oC n h ao r f l e s JamesX., rim, and I( t i as ul tate n v,rs sorry tiohd d trei :e i o n vuee c wayn o eio n , niuvnttlehdnhe thisi j e d inconveniences shocke termeouset ic t inut h : rargieih:dmee.hni her rebellion) ovi t ,eut result jot the revolution o s es v faa e ny r l e ttrhi b nsot f s en o he r s e t or, as stood upon very different groutids." After all, then, it turns dill that the causes are not the same—that as the similarity is, there was a evolution in France and a revolution in Belgium, as there is a river in Macedon and a river in Wales. The upShot of the whole is, that we must make war on the King of tire French,. to prevent the French from remaining in Belgium till affairs are ssetled with the Dtreh King in order to show the French that we are not afraid of them—" as it be came not only the British Govetaintetit but the British Parliament to oppose itself firmly td the braggadocios of Europe." Admirable reasons for going to war. We interfere. with Belgium to pre vent war, and because we cannot ham everything our own way in the interference, we must Make war without fail. Truly an admirable encouragement td peace-makers I Lord Palmerston refused to accept the invitation held out to him, and expressed him self under the necessity of observing perfect silence upon the various topics which had been introduced. " Whatever, he said, might be the effect which the Hon. Baronet expected to be produced by his charge against the present Ministry for their conduct towards the King of Holland, and for their general management of the foreign affairs of the country, he (Lord Palmerston) must give the Hon. Baronet the advantage of that impression, as he did not feel him self at liberty to enter into the discussion to which the Hon. Baronet was desirous to lead." He pro tested against the course which had of late been followed regarding negociations in which the Govern. ment were still engaged, and as the making of war and peace was one of the prerogatives of the Crown" so long as that House placed confidence in the responsible advisers of the Crown, it was bound not to take out of their hands the management of negociations involving the question of war or peace." S . r Robert Peel very naively admitted, that this affair of Belgium was quite a God-send, with a view to the staving off Re form. "He was not surprised that the House of Commons should have its attention drawn to the present state of the foreign policy of this great em pire at a moment when every country in Europe, which possessed a popular assembly, had the at tention of that body drawn exclusively to the sub jects which had that night been brought before the House. Such assembles were not engaged in dis cussing changes in their own Constitution, at a mo tnent when the state of Europe was so critical." After this, need it be a matter of astonishment that the King of Holland should be such a prodigious favourite with our Opposition ? The expedition into Belgium was the strongest possible diversion in favour of the opponents of the Bill. Unfortunately the retreat is to be as expeditious as the advance, and nnisters will not allow the Opposition an op portunity for involving the question. The curiosity of the night was the speech of Mr. Alexander Bar ing, who, to simplify the matter, threw out a new scheme of partition. He would give Luxembourg to the German Confederation—that is, to the King of Prussia—part of Flanders and Antwerp to the King of Holland, and the rest of Belgium to the French. So much for the Belgian question. We, for our parts, protest against war, and have the fullest confidence that Ministers would not allow themselves to be influenced by the blustering of the Opposition. We will allow all virtues, even bravery, to the Dutch—we will allow the King piety and libe rality —every thing, in short, provided only we be kept out of war for his sake.—ilforning Chronicle. We do not wonder that the higher classes of this country should for the most part be opposed to the diffusion of knowledge among the poor; for the cir culation of any account of the proceedings of the pri vileged classes having reference to the poor can hardly fail to excite a feeling of indignation in the latter against the former. For many years the course of legislation with regard to the poor has been uni formly that of restriction, restraint, and encroach ment. The most unjustifiable measures have been passed almost sub silenlia. Who ever heard of any of the higher classes opposing the atrocious law for the stopping of footpaths, or advocating the rights of the poor, till the patience of the people was exhausted by the incessant perpetration of acts of the most fla grant injustice under the law? One deviation from the system of encroachment took place under the Ministry of the Duke of Wellington—namely, the Beer Act; and ever since the passing of that Act, have Lords spiritual and temporal, been incessant in their attempts to render the concession unavailing. The whole of the complaints, we have no hesitation in saying, from a number of communications received . by us from i m p art i a l sources, are without a shade of Justification. The complaints are dictated by that bail spirit entertained by the aristocracy of England towards the lower orders, which of late years has led to such melancholy results. Even the Duke of Wellington seems, on reflection, to feel ashamed that, in an unguarded moment, he was betrayed into any thing like consideration for the comforts of the lower classes, and to have returned to the more congenial spirit of his order, when his hounds were abundantly fed, while the soldiers that broke the very biscuits for them were starving. Franklin tells a story of a man who had a bad and a good leg, and who used to form an estimate of the temper of those who approached him, by observing whether their attention was fixed on his good or his bad leg. The Bishop of London would most assuredly have fixed on the bad leg. This Right Rev. Father in God would seem to look abroad on nature merely with a view to discover means of abridging enjoy ment and circumscribing freedom. That a poor man should ever relax from his toils, seems to him an abomination of the first order. Why must these people be incessantly driving on the poor ? The feelings which this sort of arbitrary interference engenders are not favourable to the improvement of those who are subjected to it. What would the rich say, were the poor to assemble before their doors when they have routs and assemblies, and insist on the immoral tendency of these dcrngs ? But in society we ought all to respect each other. It is for the good of the poor that the rich should not be molested; but then the rich ought to consider that the condition of their being respected is to respect others. Let the poor man enjoy himself as he can, so long as he does not interfere with others. If his habits are susceptible of improvement, have recourse to persuasion. Where there is liberty of action, there will be an occasional abuse of it. When the abuse amounts to an infraction of the rights of others, let the law step in, but the law ought not to supply the place of the moral teacher. The lower orders ought not to be treated as slaves, but as rational beings, entitled to respect even in their a b erra ti ons , as well as their more fortunate e How citizens. If the Bishop of London could pr event them from sailing in a steam-boat, or from walking in a green field, or from all relaxation (which he would if he could), the improvement would be such as he himself might be the first to lament.—Morning Chronicle. Our readers will have seen by yesterday's Paper, that the Recorder had made his report to the King in Council of the prisoners capitally convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, and that of all the criminals whose names has been registered, according to law. in the black ca!alogue of death, not one bas been, 1 . 0 Per Ce If it , • -‘ excepted from the benefit of the atm *icy of . the Crown. We rejoice that his upon the deliberate advice of his Conn t nounced this strong practical condemned - ONltt spirit of our , sanguinary laws. Upon everiViiia...sjilf . , the criminals who have become objects of the Royal lenity the sentence of death had been pronounced by the lips of the Recorder, with all its awful solem nities; but his Majesty did not think his duty required him to discharge the painful office of per mitting that sentence to be carried into execution in a single instance. We look on this, indeed, as an earnest of that reformation of the criminal law to which we have long and anxiously looked forward. Nothing can better prepare the way for the abrogation of a vicious system of law than to show that it is incapable of execution. Thus the mild and considerate practice censures the vindictive principle, and the comprehensive exercise of the prerogative of mercy refutes the theory of blood. To ascertain with how large and liberal a discretion that benignant attribute has been exercised on the present occasion we have but to look at the contend; of the retort — we find there the names of 27 criminals, three of whom were convicted of forgery, one of an offence against the revenue by a felonious transferring of stamps, sir of house-breaking, one of burglary, two of highway robbery, nine of stealing, in a dwelling house, three of culling and maiming, one of horse stealing, and one of cattle-slealing. To form a just opinion of the nature and character of the laws by which so many human beings were doomed to perish of: the scaffold at one Old Bailey Sessions, but for the interposition of the Royal mercy, let us suppose the laws were carried into d'ect in every instance (which ought to be the case if they were just laws), and what a revolting exhibition. would the whole sale sleuehter of such a number of our fellow-crea tures present I Then, reader, think bow the popu lace of London would advance in civilization by wit nessing, after every Sessions at the Old Bailey, a similar work of butchery performed in the abattoir of savage justice! Thanks to the progress of C.tristian intelligence, though London was not a great many years ego disgraced by such exhibitions, the time will never come again when public feeling will allow them to be practicable. It is rela•cd that when nrabeau was in England he asked a friend with whom he dined if it were true, that twenty criminals had been executed that morning at New gate ? On being answered in the affirmative, he exclaimed, " The English are the most inhuman people I have ever heard of." lie did not live to w knees the executions which, in his own country, a few years afterwards surpassed those of England for rapid, relentless, and wholesale extermination. But it will not make Englishmen proud to recollect that the sanguinary vigour which " British justice" for merly displayed at Tyburn and Newgate was or 4 surpassed by that sort of justice which Marat and Robespierre made dreadfully familiar to the people . of Paris. Having felt it our duty not very long ago to reprobate the execution of two men at New -1 gate, whose offences presented no peculiar features of atrocity, we have great satisfaction in finding that the example has not on this occasion been adopted as a precedent. On the contrary, that has taken place which strongly proves the empire of bar barous laws is rapidly passing away, and makes us hope that before very long, on the ruins of the pre- • sent system, a temple dedicated to Justice may -be. erected by the genius of enlightened legislation.— Morning Herald. We never knew till now the various and ample powers possessed by a majority; it can say And un say, do and undo, advance and retract, promise and violate, and all without loss of strength or diminu tion of character. We cannot but delight in the exhibition of such phenomena, and cordially thank his Majesty's Ministers, as well as those who sit behind them in silent ratiocination, for the di-play of a new system of logic and purer principles of phi losophy. It is equally pleasant and curious to ob serve how entirely they have proved, in contradic tion to received opinions, " that the thing which is unalterable may nevertheless be altered." We do not here attempt to recite the arguments, we refer merely to the facts, which allow that the unchange able principle of schedule B was changed to the unchangeable principle of schedule A, in the cases of Downton and St. Germain's; and the eternal principle of actual residence commuted for the eternal principle of residence within seven miles, besides sundry other mutations of the immu table, alike dexterous and unexpected. If the mode of these transformations be required of us we cannot give any sa ti s f ac t ory exp l anat i on ; but it is not so difficult to assign their object, more especially as the legerdemain of the last two or three days has been so rapid as to enable us to con nect one trick with another. The division of the counties (an original portion of the eternal) gave great offence to the Radicals and their Press; the Minister therefore resolved upon compensation, and healed the sores of the Jacobins by a balsam of town-voters let loose upon the counties—another alteration of the unalterable. This, in its turn, roused the landed Bill-men, and the Minister in desperation had again recourse to his new dialectic, and proved that an appeal from the riding Com mission was consistent with the immutable " Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." We are far from objecting to some of these changes; our simple purpose in these remarks is to justify the Opposition who have always maintained the necessity of revising the clauses; we wish like wise to point out that any triumph gained by the Ministers over their opponents must not be attri buted to the ordinary powers of reason and eloquence, but to the new operations of mind developed by the majority. This perpetual endeavour to maintain a balance between the interests of jacobinism and property has the appearance of ambition more than of principle; they want the support of the Radicals to carry the Bill, and the strength of the Aristo cracy to resist its effects; they dare offend neither at present, for both must combine to keep them in office: so they run to and fro with apologies and bargains, hawking the Constitution piece-meal for a vote or a paragraph. We now wait to see the clause of compensation for the immutable clause of the riding Commissioners. These changes must be truly grateful to those who have been reput ed some what easy in matters of conscience. We remeMber that the " Bourgeois Gentilhomaie" was exceed ingly delighted when he found that he had all his life been talking prose : with what satisfaction then must all those who have been accused of breaking pledges and violating engagements now discover that, so far from being blameable, they have acted by simple instinct upon the highest principles of true philosophy.—Morning Post. The Right Hon. CHARLES BRAGGE THURST died on Saturday, at his seat, Sydney Park, Glou• cesterahire, at an advanced age. The Right Hon. Gen tleman was collaterally related to Earl BATHURST, and was a member of Lord Livntroor.'s Administration, in which he held the lucrative sinecure office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, having previously passed through the station of Secretary at War and other official appoint ments. Mr. BATHURST retired from public life in 1823, when Lord BEXLEY succeeded him as Chancellor of the Duchy. He was also Receiver of the Duchy Court, a Commissioner of Bankrupts, and Bendier of Linco Inn, and in 1826 was granted a pension on the Eng Halt Civil List of 350/. per annum. The Right Hon.
