SPIRIT OF TrIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Some edifying protests against the third reading of the Irish Church Bill, have been entered on the journals of the Lords ; one from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland treats, as might have been expected, and with characteristic unction, of the coronation oa-h, which this illustrious personage pronounces to be unfairly dealt by in the assent of his IVltjesty to the Bill. Why the Duke of Cumberlani should be so anxious to supersede the Lord Chancellor in his " keepership of the King's conscience," we know not. Has the Royal Duke no other conscience to look after ? The Duke of Cumberland affirms, secondly, that the Temporalities Bill is opposed to the wishes and interests of the clergy, while it has not been petitioned for or desired by the people. Here are two as sertions, to both of which we must reverentially demur. If the permanency of the Church be for the interest of the clergy, then have we the Duke of Wellington's authority for declaring, that " without some such Bill as this the Church cannot go on !" And with regard to the non-desire for it on the part of the people, the unanimity and notoriety of the wish to see it passed is, we presume, a sufficient answer to the Illustrious Duke's allegation Third, He says that it is most unjust to exempt those hitherto properly liable to church cess in Ireland, and to impose such burden " arbitrarily on the impoverish ed Protestant clergy of that country." But we must first agree upon the question who they are that were "properly" subjected to the church cess. Those who have hitherto paid it affirm that they were " im properly" so taxed, and arbitrarily, moreover, for purposes which in nowise tended to their advantage ; and, in truth, as they had the majority on their side, and flatly refused to pay the church cess any longer, we should like to ask the Duke of Cumberland how he would have contrived to to force them? For the arbitrary imposition of the tax to be levied on the clergy to help cut a substitute for the old church cess, we will go so far as to say, that a neater and more workmanlike measure might have been for the Crown or Commissioners, after the commutation of tithe, to deduct from the general revenue assigned to the church a fit proportion to answer the objects of the parochial cess, and turning over the residuum—that is, the bulk—to the clergy, as their net income, enable them to spend it without deduction or molestation. But such a change, let us recollect would be one off)rm only. So far from the proposed tax being of an " arbitrary" character, as described by the Duke of Cumberland, it has been calculated and deter mined on one fixed principle, applied first to Bishops, and secondly to the inferior clergy, the latter of whom will have to pay in tax, as nearly as possible, the amount of those deductions to which they have hitherto, on an ave rage of years, been practically subject in the collection of tithes from their parishioners. 4. Touching the owners of advowsous and their vested interests, the question for them to consider is, will they consent to pay a small part of their income, or would they rather lose the whole? 5. The term " spoliation," applied to the consolidated bishoprics, is worthy of the context of this whole composi tion, and, saying this, we say what is more than enough. The asserted tendency of the Bill " to weaken the " Protestant religion in Ireland" may be disposed of by the single fact, that a church is weakened by the prevalence of national hostility against it, and strengthened by public acquiescence or concurrence. Now, will the Duke of Cumberland inform us whether the Church Temporalities Bill is more likely to provoke or to allay the hostile spirit of the great majority of the people? There is another pretest, with eight nem: s annexed to it, among which are Bexley, Kenyon, Wyrtford, Ernest, and the Bishop of Rochester. We allude to the document only because it ,ssigne, as a grievance, the power vested in the Commis sioners to stop the presentation to benefices where the sole duty of the clergyman has been the collection of tithes ! Er i n to disce, We cannot waste any argument on u .h a document.— Times. The gratifying, though not unhooked for, intelligence has at length arrived that Villa Flor, the brave Duke of Terceira, entered Lisbon on the 24th of July, after an action with Telles Jordao, who had opposed him at the head of 6,000 men, the whole Miguelite force about, and to the southward of Li-bon. The Queen's commander Lad under him no more than 1,500 troops of the line, with which he had marched from St. Übes on the 22d, and coming up with Jcrdao the following day, on the left Al hank of the Tagus, instantly attacked him. The Miguel i'es, notwithstanding the disparity of force, were totally rioted, and a great portion of them driven into the river. Jordan himself was killed on the quay at the water side. The Duke of Cadoval, with Miguel's garrison, evacuated Lisbon on the night of the 23d, and the pressure being thus removed from the inhabitants, they opened the pri aens, and set free five thousand captives, confined mostly for political offences. They then proclaimed her Majesty Ponna Maria, and took arms and embodied themselves as a national guard. This circumstance we recommend to the consideration of the Duke of Wellington, and of Lords Aberdeen, Londonderry, and Beresford, as a fit material for the next Conservative speech on the C. popularity " of Miguel in the capital of his usurped dominions. It is to be observed that hitherto not a single soldier of Villa Floes army had crossed from the south bank of the Tagus, nor had one of Napier's ships been seen within the bar of Lisbon. This declaration in the Queen's favour, therefore, was the act of the people themselves. A. communication was, however, made by the inhabitants to the Duke of Terceira on the morning of the 24th. The Queen's flag was hoisted on the citadel, and afterwards that of England, which was saluted wtth 21 guns, a salute which was returned to the royal standard by Admiral klaerker'and the British men of war. Terceira marched in on the 24th. On the 25th Napier with Pattnelle on board the flag-ship, entered the river. The Duke of Ter reira teok the command of the city and of all the forts. Jieserters (say the despatches) were coming in from the remnant of the Miguelize force, which was flying towards the Douro. Such is the summary of the accounts received from Lisbon to the evening of the 25th, and it sufficiently establishes two important facts,—l, that the capital of the kingdom, powerfully defended by sea and land, was in tranquil possession of the lawful Queen of Portugal ; 2, that the first movement of the in. habitants, when relieved from Miguel's garrison, was in open support of the Queen. The steamer from Lisbon left Oporto on the evening of the 27th, down to which date no fresh attack had been made on the city by Bour rnont, and it is evident that as the news from Lisbon must before that time have been spread through the Mi guelite camp, the troops of the tyrant, already beaten and dispirited, would he in no very savoury trim for a renewed assault upon an exulting enemy. The first step, of course, to be taken by England— that to which the faith and honour of King and na tion ere equally pledged—is the immediate recognition of the legitimate Queen of Portugal. She is now undis puted Sovereign de facto, as de jure she has always been. She has a conquering army,—the entire fleet,—the capita' on the Tagus, the second capital on the Douro,—the Al. garves, the Alerntejo ;--in fine, ail the keys and command. ing positions of the kingdom—all that represents or con. etitutes dominion, is atoually in the hands of the Queen, Then, we ask, can the King of Engl end's Ministers, on their own principles, delay one moment to acknowledge Per? If they do, we trust that the people of England will step in to hasten their tardy, unsatisfactory, and defective counsels. A Regency, with the Duke of Pelmella at the head of it, is, during the minority of Diana Maria, the great point to which the desires of all the teal friends of Portugal ought to turn.— Tithes. In the House of Lords last night the Dramatic Per formances Bill was thrown out by a majority of 4—the numbers being 19 and 15. Now, is this either just or considerate on the part of their Lordships? The pro fessed object of the Bill was to facilitate the enjoyment of a rational amusement in which the people o. this country, and especially of the metropolis, take much delight. Upon s..,ch an occasion just 34 Noble Lords are in their places. H w kind a disposition is here displayed on the part 01 their Lordships to forward the wishes of the public, if their Lordships thought the measure good or harmless : how Meat an interest it manifests on the part of the Houle of Lords in the advancement of morality and religion, if they considered the measure to be bad, or of a preju dicial tendency I Why the Bill met with this fate is not app trent from the discussion. Their Lordships could not, of course, baste been influenced by the Bishop of London's doubt " whether it was possible for a me tropolitan theatre to have any other than an im moral tendency," or by the Right Reverend Pre late's tattle about " the enormous vices encouraged in the two great theatres,". because when the Bishop talked thus he proved that he knew nothing about the places and the performances which he, doubtless uninten tionally, so injuriously misrepresented, and because, though the great body of their Lordahips may seldom visit the national theatres, they must know that there is no tiung in them at all comparable to the meretricious gyra tione of saute of the Opera dancers, which throw their Lordships into such ecstasies. The attack of the Bishop upon theatrical amusements came with a peculiar bad grace from one whose reputation as a scholar rests almost wholly upon his laborio us, and certainly very valuable comments, upon Greek plays. Was it not, too, beneath the good sense and at variance with the fair dealing of the Right Rev. Prelate to attempt to catch votes by telling the story of a young woman who went very often to the Garriek theatre, and at last " lost her character ?" Is it possible to have escaped the acuteness and worldly knowledge of the Bishop of London that if such an occurrence be an objection to theatres, it will apply with equal weight to a , l public places where peisons of both sexes congregate, even to churches and chapels? But are we for that reason to refuse to build any more churches and chapels, or pull down those that already exist? Does not the Right Rev. Prelate, moreover, see that his argument against theatres and the course he pursues would leave us nothing but tumbling and rope-dancing—are these more intellectual and moral amusements than regular dramatic representa tions? We do ❑ot, however, blame the Bishop so much as the House, for, although the Bishop knows nothing about the matter, and therefore ought not to have med dled with it, their Lordships generally do understand the subject, and, had there been a larger attendance, the result, we are persuaded, would have been different ; for though their Lord-hips may flatter themselves that they possess a monopoly of political knowledge, they cannot make so great a mistake as to suppose that the people are nut, and ought not to be considered, the best judges of where and how they shall arouse themselves, and of what portion of amuse ment should satisfy them.— Times. The Lord Chancellor, on Thursday night, in answer to a question from Lord Clifford, said lie would observe, " that the Christian religion certainly was, in a sense, part of the law of the land ; but it was not the Christian reli gion in the abstract ; no, it was the Christianity of the Church of England by law established.—(Hear.) It was not the Christianity of the Unitarian, of the Presbyterian, or even of the Baptist, much less was it the Christianity of the Roman Catholics—none of these were part of the law of the land. The Christianity of the Church of England was the only Christianity recognised by the law ; and yet he was glad to say, that to all the other unrecognised sects every office of the State was open." The Duke of Wellington—a great doctor in such matters— " differed with the Noble and L:arned Lord ; and thought that the law of England derived the code of morality from the Christian dispensation generally, and regarded that dispensation generally as part of that law." While the Lord Chancellor will only allow Church of England Christianity to be part of the law, and the Duke of Wellington will have Christianity generally to be part of the law, the Church of England itself is deemed un- Christian by some of those whose belief is thus made part of the law. The Quakers, for instance, deem a Priest hood altogether an un- Christian institution. But, with all deference to the Lord Chancellor, though the law establishes teachers of a particular Christian sect in End land, and teachers of another Christian sect in Scotland, this does not make Christianity part of the law. The doctrines of Christianity have no doubt had their influence on the law, but that does not make Christianity part of the law. The la'e President, Jefferson, has shown that the maxim that Christianity is pact and parcel of the law of England, rests on a mistranslation of an old case re ported in Law French. " In a case (says Jefferson), of quare impedit in the Year-book, 34 H. 6, folio 38 (anno 1458), a question was made how far the ecclesiastical law was to be respected in a common law Court? And Prisot, Chief Justice, gives his opinion in these words, ' A tiel leis qu' ils de seint eglise ont:en ancien Scripture, convient a nous a dormer credence; car ceo common ley sur quela touts manners leis sont fondest. Et auxy, Sir, nous mime obleges de conustre lour ley de saint eglise ; et semblable ment ils sont obliges de conustre nostre ley. Et, Sir, si poit apperer, or a settle que l'evesque ad fait come un ordi nary fera en tiel cas, adung nous devons ceo adjuger bon nu auterment many,' &e. See S. C. Fitzb. Abr. Qu. imp. 89. Bro. Abr. Qu. imp. 12. Finch, in his first book, c. 3, is the first afterwards who quotes the case, and mist 'keg it thus—' To such laws of the Church as have warrant in Holy Scripture, our law giveth credence. And cites Prisot; mistranslating ' ancien Scripture' into ' Holy Scripture;'—Whereas, Prisot palpably says, ' to such laws as these of Holy Church have in antient writ ing, it is proper for us to give credence,' to wit, to their ancient written laws. This was in 1613, a century and a half after the dictum of Prisot. Wingate, in 1658, erects this false translation into a maxim of the common law, copying the words of Finch, by citing Prisot.— Wing. Max. 3. And Sheppard, title ' Religion, in 1675, copies the same mistranslation, quoting the Y. B. Finch and Wingate. Hale expresses it in these words : Christianity is parcel of the laws of England.'-1 Ventr. 293, 3 Keb. 607. But he quotes no authority. * Then Blackstone, in 1763, iv., 59, repeats the words of Hale, that Christianity is part of the laws of England, citing Veutris and Strange. And finally, Lord Mans field, with a little qualification in Evans's case, in 1767, says that the essential principles of revealed religion are part of the common law'—thus engulphing Bible, Testament, and all, into the common law, with out citing any authority. And thus we find this chain of authorities hanging liek by link one upon another, and all ultimately on one and the same hook, and that a mis translation of the words ancien Scripture, used by Prisot." Christianity is not a part of the law, and the Jews would, like all other natural-born British subjects, he at liberty to fill every office of honour or trust, but for certain oaths appointed to be taken by particular statutes. The common law could not be brought to bear on them, any more than on any other natural-horn subjects of the King, on account of their religious principles. The whole question with respect to the Jews, lies in a nutshell. Is there anything in the situation, character, or religion of the Jews, which makes it advisable that they should not he admitted to a full participation of the privileges of Bri tish subjects ? The Archbishop of Canterbury himself gave the best answer to this, for he was obliged to admit that there was " nothing in the code of the Jews, which would not allow them to fulfil all the moral and social re lations of life."—Morning Chronicle. The Solicitor-General has, we hear, abandoned his complicated Bill for abolishing Imprisonment for Debt, and thus adding additional anguish to those who are now immured in dungeons, pining in wretchedness, from their homes, their families, and their occupations. To be sure, the measure proposed was the most crude, un digested, and impracticable that ever was introduced into Parliament. It was impossible "to lick it into shape ; " with all the aid of the legal and legislatorial talents of the present law officers of the Crown, and the hundred lawyers of the " reformed" House of Commons. The announce ment of the intended measure took place in the early part of the session, and was hailed with feelings of joy, and excited hope by thousands of unfortunate indi viduals, who sought to benefit by its operation. Delay succeeded delay, till, at length, at the close of the session, it was introduced into Parliament in a form and with complicated provisions which precluded all hopes of its success. Have the Government and the Parliament any moral right thus to trifle with the feelings of wretched and desolate outcasts of society ? Are they aware of the anguish arising from disappoint ment and hope deferred ? Surely one honest, courageous, and industrious representative might have been found to suggest and carry through some measure to amtliorate the cruelty of the existing laws between debtor and creditor— laws which have been long acknowledged to be a disgrace to the statute hook, and which are now doubly oppressive by the operation of Peel's Bill. We beg solemnly to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will venture to press the clauses in the proposed Bank Charter Bill for legal tender in Bank paper, and the abolition of the usury laws on bills of exchange, thus leaving the persons of unfortu nate debtors at the mercy of every hard hearted extortioner to whom extreme necessities may compel a resort? Surely in thus promising and then abandoning a measure of relief so essential to the comfort and happiness of thousands of unhappy individuals, both the Government and the Par liament have acted most unfeelingly, and, we will add, most reprehensively. Parliament ought not to separate until some steps are taken, and we call upon Mr. Hume to bring forward the measure he proposed some years since, and insist upon its adoption should no better mea sure be suggested. —Morning Herald. We have before stated t hat the treaty between the Five Powers and Holland was one of much easier settlement than that between Holland and Belgium, and the discus sions at the meetings of the Conference, both on Wednes day and Thursday, prove this to have been the case. Teat which took place tin the latter day was not altogether satisfactory. The debt, we understand, was the principal subject of deliberation. It was investigated in all its de tails, and not one point in connection with it settled. This question presents so many obstacles that it is diffi cult to see the end of them, or calculate on the result. The interests to be adjusted in this question are j erring, and in some points almost irreconcileable with the respec tive objects of the parties in whose behalf the Congress is deliberating. The desire entertained to have this long pending negotiation brought to a close has been expressed to be as strong as ever by the Members of the Conference since the resumption of its sittings about three weeks ago; but we fear the difficulties are not likely to allow of spt edy solution.—Morning Post. torn COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, AUG. 2, MESSRS. ALEXANDER & CO.'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors under the fiat of bankruptcy issued against Messrs. Young, Alexander, and Co., the extensive East India firm, the failure of which created so stro ng a sensation in the inerelnti l a world some isswoneeeksr since, was held this afternoon , befo re Mr. Commi F . ane, for the proof of debts and th e examination of the bankrupts residing in this country. A creditor was desirous of knowing if the official par ticulars of the debts assignee would communicate the ties acting for the creditors in proved in London to the par India. The applicant should rather prove his debt in the Insolvent Court in India. Mr. Cornmis•ioaer FANS, on referring to the Act of Parliament, said that there could be no doubt but that the official assignee in London, and the assignee in India, would come to an understanding as to the amount of proofs in both countries, before any dividend was made, in order that a fair division of the assets might be made be tween all the creditors, both here and in India. A great number of proofs were admitted to-day, among them were the following :.....The Secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society, proved for 11,000 sicca rupees ; H. St. George Tucker, Esq., a Director of the Ea , t India Company, for 30,000 circa rupees; Sir F. Hamilton, for about 50,000 sicca rupees; Captain Ewens, for 33,000 ejecta rupees. A proof was tendered by Mr. B. Brown, for debts owing by the bankrupt to his niece, but assigned over. Mr. Commissioner FANE asked how the debts had been so assigned. Mr. Brown stated, that on the marriage of his niece he had paid a valuable consideration for the debts due to her by the bankrupts, in order to give her a tangible marriage settlement. The proof was allowed. Various other proofs were admitted for smaller amounts by officers of the East India Company's Service and others, who had allowed deposits to remain in the hands of the bankrupts (some of many years standing were stated), in order to obtain the large interest which the firm allowed, amounting, it wss stated, to eight per cent. The total amount of proofs to-day were about two millions of sicca rupees (the value of a sicca rupee is about Is. 11d. sterling), or about 220,0001. The debts proved at the former meeting were about 250,0001. Mr. Brackin, one of the bankrupts, passed his exami nation, and the meeting was adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-BO USE. THE CORPORATION AND THE WATERMEN Or GRAVES END.—Yesterday the Mayor of Gravesend and other gen. tlemen of that Corporation, accompanied by the Town Clerk, waited upon the LORD MAYOR, in cons. quence of a statement in the London newspapers deeply reflecting upon the conduct of the corporate authorities in that place. The Mayor of Gravesend said there were two allega tions which the Corporation felt were altogether erroneous. The first was that the temporary pier at Gravesend was an obstruction to the navigation of the Thames ; the second, that the erection of it would be attended with ruinous consequences to the watermen. As to the first, the Navigation Committee were best qualified to judge of the accuracy of that point, and would take care that no impediment should be allowed ; but it was rather odd that the temporary pier should be objected to as an obstruction, when it was known that the pier which was to be erected would advance forty-seven feet further into the river. With respect to the allegation that the watermen would be all ruined and destroyed by the erection, that was contradicted by the fact, that by the Bill which was in Parliament two years ago, the Corpa. ration showed the greatest desire to make provision for the watermen, in consequence of any prejudice thy might sustain by the cont-mplated alteration. As for the ex tensive ruin engendered by the pier, it happened that there were but few of the four hundred and fifty watermen of Gravesend and Milton, who could under any cirzum stances be affected by that erection, as but a few had been in the habit of conveying persons to and from the steam vessels and Gravesend. But those watermen were pro tected. In the Bill it was provided that fourpence should be paid by each passenger who should land at the pier, one-half of which was to go to defray the expenses of the building, the other to remunerate the watermen employed there. At present threepence was charged, one-half of which went to the watermen, a provision which effectually prevented anything like necessity amongst them Toe boatmen received as much money now as they did before the erection of the pier, for double the number of persons visited Gravesend since the pier had been erected, and the boatmen assisted at the pier in various ways. The Town Clerk handed to his Lordship a list of the watermen who had, he said, acquiesced in the arrange ments made by the Corporation, and he declared it to be the general opinion that the whole body would consent if they were not strongly excited. The LORD MAYOR said that at the last Conservatory Court a petition had been presented to the Jury, repre senting the pier as an obstruction, but they rejected it, declaring that it was no obstruction. The Mayor of Gravesend said that the Corporation of that town had entertained no idea of building that pier at ail until a thing of the kind was entertained at Northfleet, and then they commenced it in their owu defence. He thanked the Lord Mayor for the opportunity thus afforded to him of removing a mischievous impression. The re presentation which had been made was calculated to cause a breach of the peace. Such was the state of feeling amongst some of the watermen, that it was necessary to keep a constant guard on the pier. G UILDHALL. William Simpson, a journeyman baker, was charged with having spoiled a batch of bread, value 61. Mr. Rogers, of Barbican, hired the prisoner to act as foreman in his bakehouse at 265. per week. He came drunk to commence his engagement on Sunday, and spoiled the second batch lie attempted to make, upon the discovery of which he absconded on the following afternoon. The bread was so burnt up that he had been under the necessity of selling the 410. loaf for Sid. to the Jews in Rag Fair. ie estimated his loss at 3/. Mr. Alderman ATKINS adjudged him to p a y a fine of ,hree pounds, and committed him, in default of payment, or six weeks. WINDSOR, AUG. 2. This morning the King rode out in his pony phaeton, and after luncheon accompanied her Majesty on an airing in the Park. Their Majesties continue to enjoy excellent health. Her Royal Highness Princess Augusta and Miss Wynyard joined the Royal Dinner Party yesterday evening. Yesterday the Marquis of Bristol and the Ladies Hervey ar rived at the Castle, and lunched with their Majesties, after which they accompanied their Majesties in the Park, where they enjoyed several hours' exercise. The Royal Visiters had the honour of dining with their Majesties, and after dinner they left for their residence. Yesterday morning Colonel Horace Seymour and Lord and Lady Howe took leave of their Majesties, and left the Castle. Lady Kennedy Erskine, Lord Elphinstone, and Lord Lyne doch arrived yesterday. On Moiday next it is expected their Majesties will visit Kew Palace, and on Thursday the King will go to town. WORSHIP-STREET. AN EVENING PARTY.-Mr. BENETT and Mr. BROUGH TON were yesterday occupied a considerable time in hear ing a charge of assault, preferred against a Mr. W. Brace, of Windmill-street, St. Luke's, by an upholsterer, named J. Alexander, of Blackfriars-road. The prosecutor, who appeared with his head bound up, said that he spent the evening before at the house of a lady named Carter, in Providence-row, near the residence of the prisoner. There were present several other persons, among whom was the prisoner himself. A conversation between him and the latter took place about borrowing money. The prisoner asked him to lend him 3001. upon five per cent. interest. Witness said no person would lend money at that rate, and asked him what security he could give? He said his own security. Witness told him that his security was not worth a straw. Scarcely had the words eacaped his lips than the prisoner gave him a knock down blow which sent him reeling into the passage adjoin ing the parlour, where he fell, and where, while lying on the ground, the prisoner kicked him repeatedly in his face, and dislocated one of his fingers. A number of witnesses were called, amongst whom was Mrs. Carter, at whose house the renew - tire bad taken place. Mrs. Carter said that the prosecutor and the prisoner, with some other friends, had spent the evening at her house, and she believed they were both strangers to each other. Prosecutor—That's true. Mrs. Carter—l did not see the beginning of the assault. A friend of mine was playing the pianoforte at the time, but I afterwards saw the prosecutor lying on the fluor, and the prisoner over him. Mr. Ilitouoirrorr informed Mrs. Carter that during her absence some insinuations ha , 1 been tbrown out that her house was not very respectably conducted. Pray (said the Magistrate), who are you ? Mrs. Carter—An inde pendent woman. The prisoner is a suitor of mine. Mr. BROUGHTON-And Mr. Alexander? Mrs. Carter —Another suitor ; but I don't like either of them—they only come alter my property. It appearing to the Magistrates that the prisoner was the aggressor , the y ordered him to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. FURTIIER MANIFESTATIONS OF TUE SPIRIT.—After the recent proceedings at the meet ings of Presbytery, it might have been supposed that the religions extravagances which have of late been qtt, nt ly exhibited in the College Church would ceased ; but s o far from this being the ca se, h to i o ve fit' they were yesterday repeated with all their usual fervour, and in a strain of fanatical excitement as incon sistent with decency as with the spirit of true piety. understand that, both yesterday and the Sunday preceding, in the interval between the forenoon and afternoon services, during a prayer meeting, Mr. CARLYLE screamed and uttered incoherent son • tenses in a state of great excitement. Several women who were present were so alarmed that they ran out of the c hurch In , and one or two fainted when they got to the the afternoon a new actor app ea r e d on the stre et. scene . A young gentleman, of the name of ANDER. - sox, as Mr. TAIT was about to conclude his discourse, rose , up in his seat and exclaimed, in a loud, but cer tainly not a supernatural tone of voice, " I came not to send peace on earth, but a sword." During this ebullition, Mr. TAIT paused, and, at the conclusion, distinctly avowed his belief that this was the Spirit of God. Most of the congregation rose from their seats on this occasion, but instances of this kind have unfortunately been too frequent there of late to cause any farther disorder.—Edinbmvh Courant. COURT CIRCULAR. The two Dutch Special Ministers had a long interview yes. terday afternoon at the Foreign-office with Viscount Palmer ston.

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, JULY 30. This day Monsieur Van de Weyer, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of the Belgians, had an audience of his Majesty to deliver a letter from his Sove reign, to which he was introduced by Lord Viscount Palmer ston, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, Knt., Master of tho Ceremonies. MESSRS. SCHEERBOOM'S LIFE-BOAT Thursday being appointed for exhibiting the experiment with the apparatus by which any ordinary boat or vesse may be converted into a life-boat, and for which Messrs, Scheerboom and Co., have obtained a patent, the three bridges of Blackfriars, Southwark, and London, were by two o'clock crowded with spectators ; and the barges and craft on the sides of the river were also filled with anxious expectants, and the river itself presented one of the most animated spectacles we have witnessed for some time ; every boat appeared to be put in requisition, and so intense was the interest and curiosity of the various aquatic parties that it was with some difficulty sufficient space could be cleared amidst the dense mass of cutters and wherries for the display of the experimenta. Shortly after three o'cl►ck, it being then high water, the vessel by which the efficacy of the contrivance of the patentees was to he established, after having performed a few evolutions, for the purpose of ascertaining the most convenient spot for the exhibition, which was by the united force of her crew, which consisted of eight persons, who were stripped of every thing but their trousers, and furnished with " schaphanders" (a species of buoyant jackets), overset in so complete a manner that her masts and sails were cap sized, and her keel and bottom remained above water. The crew, who were floating in all directions, lost no time in regaining the vessel ; and after seating themselves across the keel, to confirm their security, again plunged into the water, and succeeded without any difficulty in righting the vessel, and getting again on board of her. This ex periment was repeated six tunes between the bridges, and was as fully succes'ful as the most enthusiastic admirer of the contrivance could desire ; there was no blunder com mitted in the detail, and the performers of the experi ments were fully competent to the task their employers and directors had assigned them. Every thing went off well ; the satisfaction of the spectators, which was ex pressed in loud terms, was universal ; and we are happy to state no accident occurred. Of the general utility of this invention, which is by means of wooden boxes or frames placed beneath the seats and along the sides of the vessel on the inside, and filled with a substance rendered impervious to the wet, and three times more buoyant than cork, to render it impossible for a vessel to sink, from what we have seen we can speak in terms of high enco mium ; but whether or not it would be sufficiently effica cious to preserve, or be applicable to vessels in a gale of wind or in a heavy sea, from our own knowledge of the subject we cannot of course speak in positive terms, but we see no reason to doubt its being a very great improve ment upon any thing of the kind that has been as yet pro duced, and as we are of opinion that with some very simple additions it may become the means of preserving the lives of a class of persons on whom the national welfare is dependent, we recommend it to the attention of all persons eennscted with the trade and navigation of the empire. On Wednesday an inquest was held at the Ele , pliant and Castle, New North-road, St. Pancras, on the body of SARAH ROWLEY, aged 21 5 a fine-looking young woman, found drowned in the Regent's Canal, near Camden Town. The deceased, who was an unfortunate woman, was seen last in the company of a young man, a m arble.-polisher, who professed to be much attached to her. A noise of fighting had been heard near the place where the body was found. The inquest was adjourned, for the attendance of the young man. Of all the Princes of the sixteenth century who espoused the doctrines of the reformation, there was none, perhaps, who so well understood the genius and phi -I.sophic principles of that great measure as GIJSTAVUS VASA, the patriotic and enlightened King of Sweden. In looking back into history, it is curious to observe what was his conduct when he found the bishops of that thwarting every measure that he introduced to suit and keep pace with the expansion of the public mind, and with his own endeavours to adapt the daunt com ponent parts of the state to the general advantage of the whole. Among the resolutions passed at the General ll:et of Westeras, in 1527, we find the fol lowing :—" That the King should be invested with full power to limit the incomes of the bishops, together with the entire administration of the churches, b ot h as regar d e d their internal regulations and their property; with the obligation, nevertheless, of providing for their proper maintenance, and of paying over the residue to the na tional treasury ; that in order that the bishops and clergy might the better attend to the fulfilment of their spiritual functions, they should henceforward not meddle with the affairs of Government, nor be invested with any civil jurisdiction ; but that all matters in dispute among the clergy should in future be judged of by the civil Courts of Sweden."--s Times.

OWEN, undertaken by command of the Lords Commis sion-rs, of the Admiralty, is one of the most arduous and extensive enterprises of modern times. It tried all those qualities of courage, perseverance, and skill in which our naval service. so justly prides itself, and brought home great additions to the stores of general knowledge. This narrative must, in future, rank among the most enter taining and curious of all those that have been made since the far-famed volumes descriptive of Captain Cook's Voyages of Discovery."—Spectator. We hear from all quarters that game of every description is very plentiful ; the breeding season was propitious, and the young pheasants and partridges are strong on the wing, and likely to know something of the principle of self-preservation before the period for the sportsman's occupation arrives. —Hereford Journal.
