ECCLESIASTICALEXTORTION-BURIAL GROUND CONSECRATION. (From the Leeds Times) We have received a long letter un the subject of the consecration of the additional burying grounds at Tad caster and Barnsley, which contains details of ecclesias tical extortion on that occasion, which, we think, demand general attention, and will give additional proof of the necessity of a radical Church Reform. To the churchwardens of Tadcaster was sent the fol lowing letter : (COPY.) Gentlemen,--I scud you enclosed the charges on the copse. oration of the additional churchyard at Tadeaster.

Mr. Buckle is also private secretary to the Archbishop and accompanied him in his carriage from Bishoptborp to Tadcaster, a distance of only ten miles, for which a separate charge is made of 31. 15s. 6J., besides his fee of 51. and IL Is. for the seal, and indeed it is believed that nearly the whole of the fees are pocketed by these gentlemen. Our corieepondent thence presents us with the follow ing narrative, which we give in his own words, and which we are confident will amuse our readers : " These consecration jobs remind me of a circumstance which occurred some years ago, not twenty miles from Rochdale. The populaton of a village consisting gene rally of poor people had increased so much, that an en largement of the church hurial ground was found neces sary, and, with some difficulty, the requisite funds were raised for purchasing and fencing a small piece of ground, which was added to the churchyard. But when this was done, another difficulty occurred. The clergyman informed his parishioners that before he could inter a corpse, the new ground must be consecrated—they said he must then send for the Bishop to do the job; but they were struck with consternation, when informed that the expense would be more than four times the amount which they bad already expended, and they declared it could never be raised. The whole business therefore ap peared to be at a stand, until the sexton, who had more wit than the whole parish put together, inquired how deep the consecration reached, but this the sapient clerk could not say, The sexton therefore proposed to wheel such a number of harrows full of the real consecrated earth as was sufficient to cover the unhallowed ground completely over, and then he remarked that the little leaven would leaven the whole lump. — This economical plan was ap proved of by the whole parish, and was carried by accla matinn. The good clergyman not liking to fly in the face of his parishioners, and - perhaps not being quite orthodox in his opinions respecting the virtues of consecration, complied with the wishes of his people, and interred such of his flock in the new ground as were cut down by the ruthless tyrant, and they slept with their fathers without the leas,t, indication that the sod under which they were deposited was les; hahowed than the old part over which the hocus pocus of consecration had been canonically per formed.—but unfortunately this bnciness reached at last the Bishop's ears, who knew much letter than the " unwashed artificers" of his diocese what was necessary to be done, in order that the departed should rest in peace. He therefore called the rev. clerk and the churchwardens before him, and shaking the terrors of the ecclesiastical law over them, made them glad to compromise and submit to incur the expense of having the job rightly done—but still the good people out of whose pockets the cash had to come suspected that if it had not been for the fees, the right reverend ►arson would not have troubled them, but would have let the dead take their chance." Military officers in the King's service on the India establishment feel much inconvenience at not being allowed to draw their pay in England or Ireland, where several olficera have families. THE QUARTE/q..Y DIVIDENDS.—The divi dends which became due on the 4th of the present month, on the several portions of the public debp, which have been closed for some weeks past, commenced payment at the Bank yesterday . . The attendance of persons to receive their interest was not eo numerous as on many former occasions, The transfer-books of nie several stocks in which disidepds are now due, and which hive hen shut for about a month, wjll re-open for public transfers op the forthcoming days--viz., Reduced Three per Cents. y o u Ce nts. ~ and the Red uce d Three and a Half per Pents, on the 24411 instant ; the p o Three and a Half' on the 22d instant ; the ts, of 1818, on the 18th instant ; Long Annuities, oti titi; * 0, 4 instant; Bank Stuck, on the 16th instant, &e. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, MARCH 30.—Public Journals have not failed to represent, in a totally false light, the appointment of General %Vitzleben to exercise the functions of Minister of War, during the absence and illness of General Hake ; they would have it believed that an entire change in many parts of our military organization was intended, at least expected. The changes which are contemplated in the time of service for the soldiers, and various other points, do not affect the essential bases of our military organization ; and the reduction of the number of the troops that Prussia maintains under arms, is a measure that has been long intended, and the exe- cution of which seems now to be practicable, since France has also undertaken a considerable reduction of its army, by which the tranquillity of Europe is more and more secured. Prussia interests itself extremely in the preserva tion of the Porte ; and in consequence of the high and neutral position of our Cabinet, the Prussian Ambassador at Constantinople will be called upon du!ing the present crisis frequently to exercise a useful influence. It is affirmed that this subject has been the occasion of very active communica tions between our Cabinet and the two Imperial Courts, and that the Allied Courts look on this matter nearly in the same light. STUTGARP, APRIL I.—The municipal autho rities of the town of Gmund, in an address to the Minister of Finance, have expressed a wish that his Majesty may be pleased to conclude a cam menial treaty with Prussia on the principles of true political economy with which high duties of customs are inconsistent. We hear that a deputation of the citizens of Tubingen has arrived here to express to M. Gustavus Pfizer, their representative in the Chamber of De puties,theirgratitude for his conduct in the Assembly of the States. They declared that no consideration of the probability of detriment to the interest of their city, the possible removal of the University, B‘c.would prevent them from re-electing him and giving him all necessary support. As a public proof of their sentiments they had sent 50 of their number to ac company him from Stutgard to Tubingen ; many believe that this example of one of the principal towns will find others to imitate it. DARMSTADT, A PRIL 2.—The happy news has been received here to-day that his Royal Highness the hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse, who is now at Munich on his return from Vienna, and who had asked for the hand of the Princess Matilda, eldest daughter of the King of Bavaria, is already betrothed to that Princess. ThiS event, while it fulfils the ar dent wishes of tho Gland Ducal family, will doubt less be received with great joy in the whole country.—Frankfort Papers, April 4. SPAIN. OFFICIAL ARTICLE-ROYAL DECREE. " From a desire of improving the condition of the In dividuals included in the Royal decree of amnesty of the 15th of October last, not merely those who shall have re turned to their country in consequeoce of it, but those who, without having quitted Spain, are yet impurified and without employment ; and being, in like manner, desirous of affording all possible assistance to such of the refugees as may have held offices previous to the po litical disturbances of 1820, X have adopted the follow ing regulations:-- " 1. All emigrants or exiles who shall have returned to the peninsula, or who may return within six months after this date, will be restored to the rank and honours they may have enjoyed at the time of their emigration or banishment. " 2. Those who at the time of such emigration shall have been 15 years in his Majesty's service, will be al lowed the use of their uniforms, and the enjoyment of all privileges which they would have been entitled to on re tiring from the service, or in case of superannuation. " 3. Those who, on the 7th of March, 1820, had per formed more than 20 years' service, will be entitled, from this date, to a pension equal to the four-fifths of what is all,wed to officers of 25 years' service, by the decree of the 3d of June, 1828, on their superannuation or retire ment from the service. Officers of the civil departments will be entitled to the four-fifths of the pay designated in article 2 of the Royal decree of the 3d of April, if their time of service be the same as that expressed in said decree. " 4. Fifteen years of service in the military profession, up to the 7th of March, 1820, will entitle officers now more than 50 years of age to the pension assigned in the preceding article. "5. Those whose time of service shall have been less than that required by articles 3 and 4, will be allowed the three-fifths of the pension granted as above. " 6. Staff.officers, to whom the Rlyal decree of June, 1828, is not applicable, will be admitted to the benefit of articles 1 and 2 preceding, and their pensions will be—to Brigadiers, the full amount granted to C ,lonels after 25 years' service; to Field-Marshals, the mime as to Briga diets and half as much more; to Lieutenant- Generals, double the amount paid to Brigadiers. "7. Those who without having been emigrants or exiles, and who, consequently, are not comprised in ar ticle 1 of the decree of October, 1828, but who, from their not having solicited purification, had lost the right to claim their respective privileges, rank, and pensions, will now be entitled to such rank, privile ges, and pensions, " 8. Those who may have solicited purification without obtaining it, will be admitted to the same privilege. " 9. Officers who, at the time of the publication of the amnesty, were under purification, and were absolved agree. ably to the 6th rule of the circular of October last, will receive an unlimited license, if belonging to the active service. Civil officers will be classed among the Cesantes who have been duly purified. " 1 , S. The act of undergoing purification may be under stood to extend to cases where the proceedings may have stopped for want of a definitive decision, or because the party concerned was found to have belonged to the na tional militia ; as also to cases where an appeal shall have been made in consequence of an unfavourable decision. " 11. Those who may have been impurified in the first instance, and dismissed from the service, or from office, without any sentence having been pronounced in the se cond, as allowed by my decree of March 9, 1830, will be admitted to claim a compensation corresponding to their services up to the date of such dismissal. " 12. As all past political offences are pardoned by the amnesty of October 15, 1830, except a few cases therein specified, it follows that the lst and 2d article of the pre sent decree are also applicable to such persons as have re cognised or served the usurper of my crown during the war of 1808 to 1814. " 13. The Royal decree of amnesty also includes those who may have taken part in the insurrection of America, and who, having resided in the revolted country, shall be settled in Spain at the time of the publication of the pre sent decree, the benefits of which will likewise be ex tended to wild persons according to their respective cir cumstances. " 14. The pensions assigned by this decree will be paid by the treasurers of the provinces to which the parties en titled to them may belong, and the claimants, in order to obtain payment, must repair to, and establish themselves in, their respective towns or places where they resided previous to the disturbances of 1820, giving notice thereot to the proper local authorities. " 15. Agreeably to regulation 2 of the circular of the 40th of October last, all persons included in the Royal decree of amnesty have a right to solicit and hold such place 3 as the Government may think proper to confer on them. There is, therefore, no obstacle to their entering again into office in the same or in different departments, nor will the Government fail to give due attention to any petitions that may be addressed to it through the proper channel, provided the party interested prove worthy of this consideration by their loyalty and good conduct.

All retired officers, or other military men, at present in the capital without said royal license, will therefore depart from it within 24 hours. 3. In regard to those who are here in virtue of royal li cense , your Excellency will furnish me with a statement o f th e date of such license, and of the reasons of its having been granted. 4.

These petitions you will transmit to this department, and without waiting the decision, you will furnish the individuals in question with the necessary passports for their return Wine, designating the route, and allowing each for his expenses one month's pay, according to his grade. 7. In the prformance of this duty you will he assisted by a commissary of war, and a clerk of the Treasury. 8. In case of any resistance to this order, you are authorized to deprive the offenders of their dues, and to put them under arrest, that they may afterwards be sent away in the manner that may appear most convenient. 9. Finally, you will take the proper measures to prevent any excesses disgraceful to the military profession, by which it may be attempted to obstruct the execution of this order. But if any military man, with or without uniform, be found forming groups, or exciting disturb ances, or wearing arms of a prohibited kind, you will im mediately cause him to be arrested, that he may be punished as a disturber of the public peace.

Earl GREY is said to have offered a seat in the Cabinet to Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, the new Secretary at War. It is not thought, however, that Mr. ELLICE will accept it, as his opinions are, on many subjects, more liberal than those of his colleagues, and he is anxious to avoid unpleasant collision. Mr. ROBERT GRANT intends to bring for ward his motion in favour of the Jews on the 17th inst., and he is, we understand, confident of success. As the House of Commons is now composed, nothing indeed could prevent the success of the motion but a strong feeling out of doors against the Jews, which does not appear to exist, for we hear of no petitions—at least none of importance—in opposition to their claim for enfranchisement ; and it is mentioned as a fact highly creditable to the metropolis, that the petitions in their favour received 100,000 signatures in a few days. What an extraordi nary change has education made since the period when Mr. PELHAM made his efforts in their behalf! At that time, with the Ministry in their favour, and with a House of Commons much disposed to assist them, such was the out-door clamour against the Jews, that the attempt to emancipate them fell to the ground ; and all subsequent attempts have met with the same fate. Now, however, if they should fail, the denial of justice will be with the House of Commons, not with the people, who, from having been found hostile, then indifferent, are become on the whole favourable to their claims. As members of the Christian faith, We cannot object to any restrictions of a purely religious nature which the House of Lords may in their Conservative wisdom choose to propose, pro vided they be founded only on the supposed necessity of providing security for themselves, and not on a spirit of persecution against the Jews. We were told when Catholic Emancipa tion was applied for, that in three years we hould have the POPE become the Chief Patrons of the Treasury, and a Roman Catholic Arch bishop at the head of the Protestant Church. We shall be now told, perhaps, that in three years, the HIGH PRIEST of the Jews will change places with the Archbishop of CANTER. BURY, and Baron RoniscHlLD take the place of Earl GREY. But the day for effect for such nonsense has gone by. In the present state of education there is little danger of our becoming Catholics and Jews, or of allowing the influence of those religions to prevail i n matters o f S tate. The same liberality, however, which secures us against c onversion to religious error, tells us that we cannot justly withhold from British subjects the rights to which they are entitled, merely because they differ from us in their religious faith ; and reason tells us that at a time when our A /- and 1 Vert Pi' 00 b e st get ~au 9°~nc PO e t a likr, klot
