LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 183 on The Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S Bill for the discouragement of pluralities was ordered to be committed, last night, in the House of Lords. In the Lower House, the attention of Hon. Members was principally engrossed with the afflfirs of Ireland, the Irish Miscellaneous Estimates being appointed to be taken into conside ration on that night. in the course of the discussion on these estimates, the late melancholy catastrophe at Newtownbarry was again brought forward, and much party feel ing elicited on the occasion. An animated con versation then took place on the subject of the balance due by Sir GEORGE HILL, as Vice- Treasurer of Ireland, who it seemed, had given in his accounts without vouchers, according to which accounts there was a deficiency of 2,1001. due by him to the public. The most extraordinary part of this affair is, that notwithstanding Sir GEORGE was proved to be a public defaulter, he was ap pointed by the WELLINGTON Administration to the Government of a West India colony, where he now performs the financial and judicial functions of Chancellor as well as Governor. We hope a strict inquiry into Sir G. HILL's conduct will be promptly made. It is due to the ends o public justice, that a defaulter, no matter how respectably connected, should be visited with condign punishment. In the course of the even ing Mr. SPRING RICE moved for a grant of 50,0001. to defray the expellees of the Corona tion, which after some objections urged by Mr. FiumE, was allowed. The Reform Bill comes lon again to-night for discussion. We direct attention to our Chancery Report of this clay, by which the public will learn with satisfaction that the delays of Chancery, which have heretofore passed into a proverb, are likely soon to become a wonder. Brussels Papers have been received this morn ing. The KING and Marshal GERARD re viewed a portion of the French army on the 30th. It appears that the German Diet have been trying their hands at protocolling, in answer to an appli cation from the Belgian Minister, respecting the free e ntry of Belgic public functionaries into the fortress of Luxemburg. The Protocol of the Diet is strongly in favour of the King of HOL LAND. " The Diet thinks it is the less called upon to declare itself on this subject, as it has had no communication on it from the King of the NE THERLANDS, or from the Conference at London. File German Diet meantimelexpects, with perfect confidence, that in the course of the negociation the rights of the Confederation, and of the House Of NASSAU, over the Grand Duchy of Luxem burg, will be taken into strict consideration, and that no measure will be decided upon, the result of which would be to lead to changes either of the integrity of the territory, or the relations of the Grand Duchy, without the previous consent of his Majesty the King of the NETHERLANDS, as the Grand Duke of the German Confedera- VIENNA, AUGUST 19.-Great alarm was caused yester day by the sudden death of a mechanic, with the usual sytnptoms of cholera. Today all is easy, it being affirmed, from many quarters, that the health of the city is in no danger, and that the individual in question died of an ordinary dysentery. Many families, however, are going away, and th, road to Bavaria is crowded with tra vellers. The Emperor is at Schoubrunn, to which access is free. The young King of Hungary is here, which much tends to make the people easy. Prince Metternich and the Foreign Ambassadors are also here ; but trade is at a stand, and the exchange affords a melancholy prospect. VIENNA, AUGUST 12.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 75 ; Four per Cent. ditto, 64.; Bank Shares, 599;. The public mind in France must of necessity lave been so prepared for the reception of a pro- lect of law for the modification of the Peerage, :hat the most remarkable part of M. CASIMIR PERIER'S speech will probably be considered that, " mrt of deference to the popular wish," he is introducing a measure contrary to what he conceives to be the true interest of his country. It is soilething very new, and strongly indica tive of the change of times, to hear a Minister admitting that the public voice is, to him, a law to be regarded in priority to the dictates of ex- perience and the force of conviction. It is a striking proof that the people have, in France, the substance of power in their hands, and that ;hey hold it firmly enough to compel, in due ime, the disappearance of those institutions which they view as inconsistent with the general welfare. The only useful end of a Chamber of Peers in France is, that it may form an Assembly whose character and experience should examine and controul with steadiness and caution the legisla tion of the Chamber of Deputies, who, being the more immediate servants of the people, may be supposed to be somewhat liable to precipita tion in making laws, from their natural subser viency to the wishes of the people, who so often misunderstand their own real interest. In this point of view an Upper Chamber has uniformly been recognised as necessary in all modern con stitutional experiments, on the ground of its use fulness to the perfectibility of legislation. For example, the new Constitution of Belgium, which established in that country what may be called a Monarchical Republic, provided for a Senate to be composed of half of the number of the Chamber of Representatives—to be elected by the electors of the latter Chamber for eight years (half the Senate being renewed every fourth year)—and to consist of Belgians having attained forty years of age, and paying not less than 1000 florins in direct taxes, and receiving no salary for their services. The 1.15 e of such a Chamber can obviously only lie in the advantage of the several consideration of new laws by a body of influence and property, which meets its constituents less frequently than a Chamber of Deputies elected for four, and half renewable every two, years. The minds of the French Ministers appear to be governed by considerations quite different from those to which we have alluded. With them, the grand object seems to be to raise up some power to counterbalance that of the Cham ber of Deputies—some order that may ex ercise its influence in a sense different from the voice of the people—some institution, in short, that may form a barrier against the change s which the democracy has expressed its determi nation to effect. M. PERIER desires the continuance of a sham aristocracy, such as he fancies would operate conservatively upon the existing state of things, and the whole project implies the acknowledgment of such a want in the French Constitution. Such endeavours ap pear to us utterly vain and delusive. There never can be again an Aristocracy in France. There are no elements for a Peerage like that of England. The law of equal partition is a barrier against the accumulation of territorial wealth ; and without the sanction of illustrious names or historical remembrances, except in a few in stances, the Chamber of Peers has never had any just title to public confidence or respect. An Aristocracy cannot be created by a charter ; it must be produced by the gradual and regular working of a social machine, like that which has reared and festered the nobility of England. At the first French revolution every thing Aristo cratical was rooted out of the land. It is far beyond M. PERIER'S power to plant it again. For the reasons stated, we entirely disapprove of those parts of the project which give to the KING alone the nomination of Peers to an un limited extent. The plan of giving to the KING two voices out of the three composing the Legislature, viz., one by himself and another by his creatures the Peers, appears to us quite inconsistent with the spirit of a Government pro fessing to consist of a throne surrounded by Republican Institutions. It is a scheme founded upon the fallacy that a sham Aristocracy is de sirable to be preserved in default of a real one, which is impossible to be had. With every disposition to appreciate the motives which have led the Ministry to sacrifice their own opinion to that of the nation, we can hardly believe that s F t r r a o n nly c g ewill be satisfied with the whole of the proje c t. If it p a sses, we shall nevertheless be impressed with the superiority of the Belgian Senate over such a body as it will esta blish for the Legislative Chamber. This we say, not from any affection that we may have for Elective Chambers, or Republican Institu tions in general, but upon the principle avowed by M. PERIER, that the best institutions for a given country are those which will be the most thankfully received. This consideration, and a due attention to the decidedly democratical spirit of the French na tion, will explain why the Peerage project can . not be relied on as answering altogether the ob ject left in July last to be fulfilled. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have received all the Paris Papers of Tuesday, and some dated Wednesday. The Ministers had succeeded in the Chamber of Deputies in getting a co►nnmission for drawing up the new p. erage law nominated in favour of their views. _ . The latest news from Warsaw received in Paris on Tuesday was to the '2oth. There had been no battle, but the Russians were advancing in great force at each side of the Vistula, and the Poles falling falling back upon their capital. Dembinski commanded in the place of Skrzynecki. The cholera was raging in the vicinity of Vienu t and Munich, and the greatest consternation prevailed in those capitals.

The LORD CHANCELLOR came dot at half-past nine o'clock to deliver some judgments which he had appointed fin• this morning, and to conclude his public sitting prior td :he lon.z vacation. The report of the judgments, from want of time, we shall not be able to give till to-Motro* ; but the following gratifying statement, which his tordr,hiFt made on taking his leave of the Bar and the suitors, we are anxious to take the earliest opportunity of publisl.ing. His Loansint, after having gone through his paper, said, it is a great satisfaction to me in taking my leave of the Bar, and of the suitors, to know that I have been able to dispose of all the arrears of the business of this Court and that there are no appeals and no petitions, no causes now unheard except those that are not ready, and which have been put upon the files of the Court subsequent to List June. It is a very great relief to the Court—it will be a very great relief to the B ar—it will b., a very great relief to prof ssional men, as I know it will be a very great relief to the suitors—fir them to feel thlt they shall have their business henceforward regularly going on, not encumbered by arreara, and not having their minds op pressed with the harassing prospect of never getting through their business. In the course of next term the benefit of all this will be felt, and it will be found that the time has -been well bestowed, which we have been lately oc _ ~„.. cupying, though it may have pressed bard upon the Bar, upon suitors, and upon other professional men, who have ben anxiously attending the Court. It has pressed hard also on the Court, but I have been willing to bear that pressure, knowing well that the puliie will feel the full benefit next Term. It was said to a great man, the most illustrious of all my predecessors, that Le allowed the pres sure of business upon him to be more than he could hear ; to which he repliid, the duties of "life are more than life,"— memor,dde words to he had in everlasting remembrance by all men who serve their country. The kindness and atten tion I hays received from the Bar are such as to require my most grateful acknowledgments, which I now respectfully ffer. I bib leave to sold, that I have now the most sanguine hopes of being able to relieve his honour the ice• Chancellor from hearing the greater part of such causes as have been heard by him since the year 1813. The appeals which have disposed of within these few months have been 120 ; 108 of those have been fully argued and decided—indeed all of them, except Miller v. Travers, which stands for the opinion of the two Judges, who assisted me in it. I find the time taken in the argu ments upon the appeals, the av,rage time being se veral hours to each, shews that every one of them were cases of importance, and that there has been no short cause beard by way of appeal before me.— This has been the cause of the length of time that has been occupied in getting through the long and heavy arrear— the arrear of years. When I look into this statement I find also that in the proportion of six to four, or of three to two, are the number of appeals from his Honour the Vice Chancellor to those coming from his Honour the Master of the Rolls—arising, no doubt, from the great number of causes decided in the Vice- Chancellor's Court, and from that circumstance only. It is char therefore, that at least three months of the time of this Court would have been entirely saved if that ar rangement could have been made, which (foreseeing this) I propounded, but unsuccessfully propounded, when I came into the Court. I thought that every cause which was either of some importance in point of value, or diffi culty in point of law or of fact, that came before their Honours the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chan cellor, almost inevitably fund its away here by ap peal—and generally, certainly in the majority of cases, only led to great expense, great delay, and great inconvenience, whether there should be an ultimate affirmance or reversal. I proposed, therefore, that al' causes of difficulty and importance in point of value, or from the law as applying to them, should at once be transferred here and heard by me, as thereby the in evitable appeal would be averted. The event has justified ray prospective conjecture, and leads me now to form the plan which I shall certainly adopt, namely, that of transferring at once the bulk of that business into this Court. Such a result was long ago foreseen by eminent men. It was the opinion of Sir Samuel Romilly—a most venerable name—it was the opinion of Sir John Leech, then a Member of Parliament, a nil of many others, that the erection of a Court for Honour the Vice-Chancellor would have, among other things, the effect of increasing litigation, and that a mass of business which did not then exist in Chancery,would be added to the business of the Court. How far that conjecture has been proved by experience must be visible to all men, since 64 out of the IOS contested appeals, were from his honour theVice-Chancellor, and which have taken up three months' constant, laborious, and expensive attendance to all the parties concerned. If, however, this arrangement can be made, which I look forward confidently to accomplishing, I shall then deem it to be my duty to give to the suitor the full benefit in all difficult and important cases, of having three Judges instead of one to hear their causes. If this cannot be done by the law as it now stands, I trust the Legislature will assist me in effecting it. My opinion is that it can be done with out altering or adding to the law as it now stands. I have the power at present to ask for the attendance of any or all the Judges in Westminster Hall, and I know not why I should not have the power of asking to be as sisted by the presence of the Master of the Rolls and Vice- Chancellor when necessity requires. Other Chancellors have had th e Master of the Rolls to sit for them when absent; I have never required that, and I trust I never shall ; but I think I may have the assistance of their Honours on hearing causes of extraordinary difficulty and import ance. The bulk of the cases that are appealed from are not of extraordinaty difficulty or importance, but in all cases of that class the suitor shall have the benefit of the other equity Judges being present. There are two or three branches of judicature in which the presence of three Judges is infinitely better than that of one; first when conflicting facts are to be discussed, a conflicting evidence to be heard; a Jury is the best forum for such a case—a single Judge is perhaps the worst, but three men with minds variously constituted are much more likely to come to a satisfactory conclusion than a single individual. The next is, where any thing like discretion is to he exercised, either in awarding damages, or saying what costs are to be paid, which is often a very important, or not unfrequently diffi cult and delicate inquiry, as too many cases are brought and k e pt up merely for the sake of the costs. The duty of the Judge there is somewhat like that of assessing damages, and in the exercise of such discretion it is better to have three Judges than one. Last of all, where there are great and difficult and important points of law and equity to be sealed, it is much more satisfactory to suitors, and to the profession which cultivates the sciences, to have that law considered and settled by more Judges than one. These, then, are the considerations which principally move me to the adoption of the resolution I have formed. But, at the same time that I stop the great bulk of business going before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, I shall not deem it necessary tat recommend elsewhere that any step should be taken at present to terminate his Court, year of George 111. it was expected i t t bo a u w g o l u i ld in the en bad dingetting through the arrears. Though we have now got through the arrears, I do not yet see toy way to that which as an ultimate result must be deemed highly desirable. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, is more sanguine as to the speedy ac coniplishtnent of it than I am—but still I do not Ault out from my mind the indulgence of the hope that I may see its termination at no very distant period. As long, however, as that Court shall continue to exist, I shall endeavour to avail myself in all difficult and important cases, of the assistance of that most learned excellent, and able Judge in this Court. I have said thus much because I thought it fit, before terminating business, to let the profession know it was not for nothing that I had imposed on them the hardships of these long and painful sittings : sittings, however, tint muchforlathe having e— ronly two days later than Lord Eldon has sat, sat to the 29th of August, I have sat only two days longer. At the same time I admit that though I have sat only two days later than usual, yet I have eat many more hours in the course of t he day, awl I am aware of the embarrassMents and i n conveniences that this may have caused—l am not however aware that its tendency has been to abridge argu ments in any case, for I am sure I have endeavoured to show as much patience as any man could possess, that I might not indicate the slightest indisposition to hear tl" longest arguments. Even where I have thought argument superfluous, I have hardly ever stopped the reply, in cases where I have been in favour of the side on which the reply was to be made, and still more rarely have I disposed of cases on hearing one side on ly. I, therefore, cannot charge myself with having got rid of this arrear, and accomplishing this dispatch at the expence of curtailing the hearing of causes. The best proof in the world of this is that one of the last I heard took up eight hours,—the one preceding it took seven hours, and another immediately before it took six hours. Three causes therefore took upwards of 91 hours in being argued at the conclusion of the sittings, which surely is a proof that there was no great desire on my part to curtail the arguments, or not to hear Counsel. The profession, therefore, awl the Bar, I am sure, will r joice as well as myself when we fluri we have not at tended in vain, while We very soon shall Witness the be. nefit conferred upon the country by having got rid of this accumulation of nosiness ; and also in the prospec tive tirrangewent touching the Vice-Charwellot's Court to prevent delay end unneC scary ex pence, to raise the character of the Courts of Jtivice in this country, and to ansWer the arguments ugsti f..y persons unconnected with thern.:—atguments so friliterity Isvdleti against the legal prole ;lion at large. The profession will f ee l not only that cornfott ants peace increased, but eve their own character exalted. in conclusion, I have to ware, that as long as I remain in town t which must be for some weeks longer, I shall devote on?: day in every Week-- , --..t . atordays—to hear motions. I sha!? hear them in the private :cam ; and I entreat suitors not ro depend on Counsel who are absent, er to get Counsel to remain in ton-ft for the purpose, but to take st!ch Counsel as are in town. I have made inquiry, and I find that there xill be several Counsel of the greatest ability remaining; and I will hear them upon any motions by consent, pro vided notice he given on the Wedneseiay preceding to onc of my officers. I have directed an order to Eie made to that effect. I do not mean to make any private arrange ments a consideration, but I wish to have the notice of the motion sent to me on the Wcriw.slay, that I may arrange respecting my attendance in thg House of Lords, because I am about now to sit from day to day in the House of Lords during the remainder of the Session ; but I shall not sit there any Saturday when my attendance may be required here. I think this Cour', sitting by one of its branches throughout the Yaeation, for the purpose of hearing pfegging application., is one of the most essential reliefs that can be afforded, to the suitor and is almost essential to the useful existence of the Court and the due discharge of justice. It was a remark of a learned and venerable friend of mine—one among the greatest sages of the law, I mean Mr. Jeremy Bentham, that one of the greatest evils arising ftom vacations was the shutting up the Courts at the very time lilta suitors might have the greatest occasion to require access to thi , rn. I don't think I can subscribe to the whole extent of his doctrine on this point; but undoubtedly that there is a great limrefit to be conferred by keeping always open some part of the Court for pressing business, I most entirely agree with him in holding. His LORDSHIP then bowed to the Bar and to the suitors arid withdrew. Every person who heard him appeared to he highly gratified with the eloquent and highly satis factory address which he had just delivered. THE CORONATION. Yesterday and this forenoon a number of distinguished individuals, amongst whom were Lord Augustus Fitz clarence and party, Earl Grey, &c. &c., visited West minster Abbey, to inspect the preparations that have been made for the approaching Coronation of their Majesties. That ancient relict of royalty, Queen Elizabeth's chair, has been thoroughly cleansed, and this morning the workmen were occupied in gilding it in the most splendid manner for the use of Queen Adelaide. The prices for the ad mission of the public to inspect the imposing ceremony are as follows :—For the galleries in the vaultings the tickets are three guineas each, and for those under neath four guineas each, and the first or bottom tier are let at five guineas each person. The grand stand now erecting in St. Margaret's church yard, leading to the robing rooms of their Majesty's, has been contracted for with the Dean of Westminster, (to whom that part of the church-yard belongs) by the Serjeant Trumpeter we were told at the Lord Chamberlain's office, and the seats are letting from two to three guineas. Preparations are also making for the accommodation of the public to view the Royal procession pass from, and return to the Palace, at the houses in Parliament. street, Pall-mall, and Cf' wkmpur street, and the prices at present are at two and three gui neas for each person.

What we stated yesterday in our city article in regard to an armistice for six weeks between the Dutch and Belgians appears to be confirmed. From a French Paper received this morning : BRLTSSELS, 26 (Private Letter).—Yesterday a courier arrived from London, which brought to Sir Robert Adair a new protocol, stating that, after the conferences on the new events, the Plenipotentiaries have thought proper to propose to the King of the Netherlands and to the King of Belgium an armistice of six weeks, during which period they will interpose their good offices for an arrangement between Rolland and Belgium. In the mean time the troops of each party are to occupy the same posi tion as they did before hostilities commenced. Fhe armistice is concluded under the guarantee of the five Powers, and if either of the parties should break the said armistice in the interim it will be considered as an act of hostility against the five Powers. The protocol is numbered 54. We are extremely sorry to state, that a current report prevails in the city, that the brave and unfortunate Poles have experi enced a total defeat before Warsaw, in a general battle. THE FUNDS. _ Up to the present hour we have no arrivals of consequence ; no steamers are expected either from Holland or Ostend to-day, consequently their will be a dearth of information. The express from Paris brings the French rentes higher: Consols, which left off yesterday at 81 3 ,4 for the account, opened at the same price; at present they are Eit% with little doing. The report of the de. feat of the Poles has not had any effect as yet on the market. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We have made particular inquiry in regard to the reported tot al deteat of the Poles by the Raglans, and Lind it originated from a Rotterdam Paper of the 30th, received by the Dutch steamer, which gives the old account received by the Hamburg Reporter. This was magnified to a total defeat of the Poles, no doubt for seine stock-jobbing purpose. Consols are very steady, without any business doing, at 817, alternately buyers and sellers.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The case of Sir George Hill came before the louse of Commons in the Irish estimates last night. This is a most discreditable transaction to the last Government. Here was a public defaulter, who had been, by the statement of his own relative, applied to frequently and fruitlessly for money which was due to tie public service from him, the head of the whole Treasury Department of Ireland ! and yet the Minister+ of the day appointed that same defaulter to the Government of a West Indian colony, where he would have, and has actually, to perform the financial and judicial functions of Chancellor, as well a• that of representative of the Crown. We observe chat neither Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Dawson's brother- IL-law, nor Mr. Goulburn, late Member for Armagh, ventured to say one word in favour of that appoint ,rent. But it is obvious to all the world that either SI. George Hill must ins'antly be recalled, or the present lilinisters become accessories to the culpable conduct of those who went before them, and every mail of yet unblemished reputation, holding a Go v, rnment under the Crown of England, will, if he respect; himself, feel it necessary to resign his office.—Times. Whilst we congratulate the country upon the per manent, majorities on most of the points of moment connected with the Reform Bill, we must again and again express our regret at the protracted and re newed debates which generally precede the occa sions on which those majorities are exhibited by division. On Tuesday night there was a debate of eight hours on a clause (the twenty-4econd), the princ . ple of which had been decided (we had almost •a;d twent7-two times, but certainly) frequently be fore. It was, whether freemen should continue to be allowed to vote in right of their corporate cha- Neter, without reference to any other right. We do not intend to argue the clause over again, though our reasonings delay not the progress of the Bill, like those in the house of Commons. Is it not clear, that the question itself was decided when it win en.:cted that a house of 101. annusl ♦alue should be in all cases necessary to quality the tenant for a vote? On occasions of a similar kind, therefore, where delay only is sought by repeated discussions, it would surely be wise to call at once for the ques tion, and proceed, if so it must be, to the division, as in cases of vexatious motions for adjournment. The Bill has had the amplest consiieratio❑ possible. Its importance, the institutions which it changes, and the interests which its affects, required that care ; but the care having been taken, and the principle once decided, it is trifling with the best fechigs of he people to recal it into debate, and suffer it to be contested again.—Times. The Archbishop of Canterbury, it will be per ceived, moved on Tuesday night the second reading of the Bill for restraining the abuse of pluralities in the Church. It was not easy, from the tone of voice in which the Most Rev. Prelate spoke, to catch the nature of those amendments which he proposed in the law as now existing. Upon collat ing the different reports of his speech, however, and of Lord Wynford's, one change does seem to have been unambiguously stived,—namely, that in future mare than one living shall not be held by the same person at a greater distance than 30 miles from any other living of which he may be the incumbent. Otie of the Bishops asserted that this would go to demolish two-thirds of the present amount of plu ralities. Now, for information sake, being ignorant persons, we are very desirous of hearing why, if the privilege of holding two preferments distant 40 miles asunder be t•tken away, that of possessing them within the range of 30 milts should be conti nued. It is not plain to us by %%hat expedient a clergyman could contrive to officiate more effectually in two parishes, one of which was at or near Charl ton, for instance, and one near Windsor, than if they had been situated, one in London, and the other at Reading. Lord Wynford, we see, objects to the large discretionary powers vested in the bench of Bishops or Archbishops, under which they may giant dispensations for holding plu ralities,—that is, for evading the Act of Par liament,—for defrauding, under high authority, a Christian congregation of its rights, and de feating at one blow the law and the gospel. They must be formidable dispensing powers indeed which the prerogative spirit of Lord Wynford would ob ject to, when possessed by men in lawn sleeves. It would be well to exhibit the amount of them. We have heard—(but then we confess oar ignorance)— we have heard that the law at present, if not in force at least on the stattee book, is full of declarations against pluralities. The worthy Archbishop even vents his denunciation at the excess to which the practice had been carried. To be sure, his Grace had the less reason to be tender upon the subject, because his examples of greediness and abuse were drawn from the 13th century, and from Roman Catholic practice. Ever since, until just now that there is a troublesome clamour against the grievance, we take for granted that the Right Rev. Bench could have known nothing at all about such abomi nations as pluralities, or they would surely not have postponed the redress of them to so late an hour. But indeed it is time to be serious upon matters which have so deeply moved the indignation of the country, and have proved such a scandal in the eyes of most Christian men. The Archbishop of Canterbury informs us, and in tone as if he were vindicating the Church from some heinous charge, that " pluralities were struck at by the canon law, under penalties of suspension and even of excom munication. But the practice was in time introduced of granting dispensations to hold pluralities of livings, and by this means," says the Archbishop,—by means, to wit, of dispensations,—" abuses began to be introduced, which afterwards grew to an enor mous pitch," &c. Then if dispensations were the source of abuses, why, we ask, are dispensations still permitted to exist ? We all know and feel that pluralities exist throughout the whole king dom to the most shameful extent, and that they never could have reached that pitch but by means of dispensations ; and yet the dispensing power is continued in the present Church Reform Bill with so little modesty or prudence as to make Lord Wynford himself remonstrate against its dan gerous magnitude. There is not the smallest doubt that the law against pluralities will be enforced most invariably, most strictly, and religiously, in every case where a poor, unconnected, untriended parson, with a living of some 801. or 1001. a year, solicits an addition to it of equal or inferior value. " Oh, no," would be the language of my Lord Bishop, " pluralities are con demned by the Church and State; and although we have a dispensing power, it is a prerogative, which, like the king's veto on a Bill sent up by both Houses, ought never to be exercised but in an ex treme case." Let us hear, however, what my Lord Bishop will say, when a request is made by a can didate for plurality having any of the Lord Bishop's own blood in his veins, or that of any high aristo cratic patron, or any claim but that which springs from poverty and necessity, unaided by blood or power. Will the dispensation be then suffered to sleep? Will there then be any talk about Acts of Parliament or extreme cases ? But the canon law condemns pluralities; and now the Bench of Bishops agree formally to reprobate them. Yet see how doctors differ; for here is our own tall corre spondent, who condescends to be the champion of pluralities, at work again upon his former ground,— ' which ground it is plain that no Bishop, not the canon law itself, has dared to occupy,—for he tells us in a long and curious letter of this day, and indeed :is a qual fier of some of his own supposed exttava gancies, and the " non-residence and pluralities are not in themselves abuses !" He then confounds the expediency of " gradations" in the C h urc h with that of " non-residence arid pluralities ; ' and be cause Lord Harrowby is a friend to "..gradations," which word he does not exploit', "I"ertell"td:kne.t undertakes to construe it fiT , h t im o ' h a tt i ve ' one awl ' I lie out " 'nuke" and ' Lord Harrowby talks of I k ji v i ng ,.
