did, that the last state of England was not one of mere grievances ; and that even had it been such, those persons ought to be distrusted who held out hopes of immediate remedy. It had been said he was opposed to all Reform, that he was a Conformer—the term used to designate an insincere convert to its principles. The charge he directly denied. To Parliamentary Reform he was certainly op posed, hut that be was an enemy to gradual and tem perate Reform, he flatly contradicted. The Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. O'Connell) should have remembered that he (Sir Robert Peel) was the very person who had taken the appointment of the Sheriffs in Ireland from the Crown and given it to the Judges. The Jury Bill, which re moved Juries from the possibility of corrupt influence, and which that Hon. Gentleman complained was not extended to Ireland, was also his measure. To reform in judicial offices he was also friendly, fur it had been his invariable opinion that grievances should he redressed and institu tions reformed by effecting changes in them ; but then the change should he well considered, gradual, and temperate. Ile would take the liberty of expressing the apprehensions with which the rash and precipitate legislation that he feared would he resorted to by some individuals filled him. Looking to the notices on the paper, and the number of subjects embraced by them, there could be little doubt that the majority of those Hon. Members would fail in the objects they proposed to themselves, and that utter disap pointment would be the result. His Majesty's Govern ment certain►y had indulged in no unseemly triumph ; from that charge they were free. He was new determined to look forward to the future alone, and considering the Constitution as it existed, to take his stand on main and essential matters—to join in resisting every attempt at new measures which could not he stirred without un settling the public mind, and endangering public prospe rity. It should be well known that the very lower classes themselves can only subsist by public tranquillity—by the existence of those habits of industry, and that general order which will allow men possessed of property to bring their capital into operation, and that the welfare of the labouring—he would not say lower—classes was secured as the peaceful enjoyment of all property, and by avoid ing those measures which must increase the apprehen sions he was confident existed in the minds of capi talists.—(Cheering.) There were, he was aware, no means of governing this country, but through the House of Commons, and therefore he, humble as he was, determined to stand in defence of law and order—i❑ defence of the King's Throne, and the security of the empire—from mo tives as independent as governed any Member of the most liberal opinions, and representing the largest constituency in the kingdotn.—(Long continued cheering.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose to correct a mistake. It gave him the greatest pain to imagine that he was capable of casting reflections on any creed, but more especially on that of the very House which, when composed wholly of Protestants, had emancipated him. His expression was literally this, and no more—that he hoped to see the diy when, as soon as the Protestant Irish Members set out from Christchurch for the House of Commons in College green, the Catholic Members would leave Townsend-street Chapel for the same place.—(Loud cries of " Question," and " Withdraw," were now raised.) Mr. RUTHVEN moved an adjournment.—(" Ques tion," and " Go on, go on.") After some words from Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. O'Dwvia, who supported the adjournment ; and from Lords ALTHORP and J. RUSSCLL, who intimated that they I ad no objection to it, Tire Gallery was cleared, and a division took place, in which there appeared— For an Adjournment Against it 301 It was, however, ultimately agreed at a quarter to one, to adjourn to this day. HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 7. The House sat to-day at half-past three o'clock. Prayers were read by the Bishop of Hereford, shortly after which their Lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat on the Woolsack, at five o'clock, informed their Lordships, that the House had waited on his Majesty, according to his Royal permission, yesterday, at two o'clock, for the purpose of presenting the address, to which his Majesty had returned the following most gracious answer : --" My Lords, I thank you for your loyal and dutiful address. I receive with peculiar satisfaction your deter. mination to support tne by all means in your power in my determination to preserve the Legislative Union of Ireland with this country as indissolubly connected with the peace, security, and welfare of my dominions." On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY the address was ordered to be printed. Laid TEYNHAM gave notice of his intention to move on Monday next for a copy of the proclamation of the Lords Justices of Ireland, during the time the county of Mayo was in a state of rebellion, requiting additional force. The Duke of LEINSTER presented a petition from Kildare, against tithes. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a peti tion from those two cities, against that provision of the Beer Bill which allowed beer to be drank upon the pre mises. Lord KING, seeing several of the Right Reverend Pre lates in their places, would take that opportunity of moving for some information respecting particular parts of the revenue of the Church.—(Hear.) He (Lord King) was glad to hear that it was the intention of his Mujeaty's Government to bring forward some measure of Church Reform, as be was convinced that Ministers, and Ministers only, could make such a reform effectual. From the heads of the Church it was ridiculous to suppose it could be derived, as, from the Reformation to the present time, they had been the means of protecting many of those abuses, the correction of which would have taken p'ace but for the course they had pursued. The abuses on which he particularly wished to have information, were those connected with the high function aries and dignitaries of the Church—those coming more immealistely under the cognizance of the Bishops ; he alluded to that portion of the revenues of the Church enjoyed by the Deane, Chapters, and even Bishops, where they held livings annexed to their Sees. Those great pet sonages abstracted a large portion of the re venues of the Church, while the pittance that was given to the ministers who did the whole of the duty, was scandalous in the extreme. In his (Lord King's) opinion, the first reform that should take place in the Church, was, the more equal distribution of its income. —(Hear, hear.) What information be wanted was, the amount of the aa iries or stipends which were given to the officiating ministers, where the income of the Church was enjoyed it)y theca great ecclesiastics. For the purpose of in stancing the necessity of the information he required, he would state to their Lordships how many of the walking clergy in different parts of the country were pail for their labours. In a parish in Devonshire, the ciaitch of which belonged to the See of Exeter, with an income of more than fifteen hundred a year, the officiating clergyman was paid only 601. At Nwaiabridge, in Devon, the income of the parish church of which belonged to the Dean of Exeter, the officiating clergyman was paid only 40/. In a parish belonging to the Canons of Windsor, the clergyman was paid only 601. a year, and at Routh Molton the salary had been increased from 60/, to 60/, a year. At Preston, in Holdernesa, to the living of which was attached land to the value of upwods of 1,4001. a year, the income of which belonged to the Dean of York, the officiating minister was allowed for his services, some paltry tithes hardly worth collecting, amounting to about 601. a year. In a parish in Oxfordshire, the ineoma of which amounted to upwards of e,OOOl. a year, the minister was given only 301. a year, which was made up by the inhabitants to 701. He (Lord King) was glad that the King's speech had told them that there was to be a more equitable distri bution of the revenues of the Church. He trusted that in that distribution, pluralities wou Id be put an end to ; and that ecclesiastical persons would be compelled to perform their ecclesiastical duties properly. The Reforms that had hitherto taken place in the revenues of the Church, if Reforms they could be called, were at the expense of the people, the immense incomes of its dignitaries still being enjoyed by them, the officiat ing clergymen being paid out of the pockets of their parishioners. He (Lord King), however, trusted the Rime was not far distant, when these persona would he obliged to disgorge part of the immense revenues which they enjoyed from the Church.—( Hear, hear.) An other Bill was brought forward after Sir W. Scott's, which was equally delusive, and fell to the ground still born—a perfect abortion. With regard to the overgrow): See of Derry, Government the year before last resolved,upon the vacancy of that See occurring, to limit the immense in come, but the clergy objected ; and that See would yet be found to be the East Retford of the Church. The Noble Lord was happy to find, however, that it was now admitted by the Bishops themselves, that the c o ll ec ti on o f tith e s was productive of much animosity between the clergy and the laity. He then gave notice that he should move for certain returns of Church benefices throughout England and Wales. The Bishop of LONDON said that, although the attacks which the Noble Lord was in the habit of making on bit Bench could not be agreeable to any one, yet lie was glad that he had thus early broken ground, becaitse it afforded an opportunity of giving som e contradiction to the statements lie was in the habit of dealing in ; for in stance, the Noble Lord was pleased to ask in a taunting wanner which of the prelates had returned an answer to the communications made to them by the Commissioners of the real property. For his own part he had lost no time in answering to every proposition submitted to him, and he be lieved that other Reverend Bishops had acted similarly; and it was a hasty conclusion to draw, that because the Com missioners had not embodied any suggestion in their t eport, either made by the Bishops, or as proceeding from themselves upon the subject, therefore ndanswers had been sent. The Noble Lord had said there had been no incli nation to improve small benefices—nor had that been agreed to at all except by Government. He could furnish the Noble Lord with a long list of the ecclesiastical persons, some of whom were in the receipt of great tithes, and others not, who had greatly increased small benefices.— (Hear, hear.) He was at the same time free to acknowledge that so much had not been done in this respect as the country had a right to expect. During a considerable period, the public attention had been much taken up by other subjects, and it was not until the last few years that an impetus had been given to the Church at all equal to the necessity of the times. That there were imperfections—that there were ble mishes, he was ready to admit ; but with respect to the present rules of the Church, or the present ministers of the Church, they did not deserve to be called abuses ; but, on the contrary, those abuses had been for many years past greatly diminishing. There was not a single abuse—there was not a single imperfection, which marred the duty of the Church, and there was not a single abuse which was not likely to be removed, and which was not under gradual improve ment ; and, therefore, he thought it too much that it should be said to their Lordships that the abuses of the Church were growing evils—they were growing less and lees, and would very soon be diminished alto gether. A Bill had been brought into Parliament two years ago, enabling Bishops to augment benefices. If the Noble Lord would take thetrouble of looking at that Act, be would find that many poor benefices had been over rated, and that they were continuing to be so at this mo ment. The Bishops had not been backward in availing themselves of the facilities afforded them by that Act. He might mention, as instances, the Dean and Chapter of Durham, the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, and many others which it was not necessary to trouble their Lord ships with, who had all been availing themselves of the benefits vested in them by that Act. With respect to pluralities, the Noble Lord appeared to think, that, because a Bill was not brought in at once for the purpose of diminishing them, there was no disposition on the part of the Bishops to diminish the number of their pluralities. Now it had been stated again and again that if the Bill introduced by the Most Noble Prelate had been passed into a law, it would speedily have had the effect of diminishing them one half. He (the Right Rev. Prelate) took this at least as a disposition to improve ; and if they were not at all times ready and willing to rush headlong into every reformation which was proposed by this person or that, they were not therefore to be charged with an indisposition to remove grievances.— ( Hear.) With respect to a particular branch of the Church in Ireland, the Bishopric of Derry, he (the Right Rev. Prelate) was sure, and he was persuaded that if it sheuld seem fit for any of his Majesty's Ministers to state the case, it would be a lesson to the Noble Lord not to take for granted remarks or observations from per sons who were indisposed to the Church establishment, but to see the necessity of making some inqui y into the foundation of these remarks, before he came forward in that House, and talked in such a way as was likely to excite ill feelings against the Church more than they were at present excited. With respect to the augmentation ofroor benefices, he was prepared to go so far as to say that it was a blot on the E tablished Church, and a blot which, he trusted, they would soon be able to diminish and alleviate, if net entirely remove.—(Hear, hear.) There was no doubt that one of the greatest blessings desired in this country was to increase the com fort, the respectability, and efficacy of the poor clergy ; but that could only be done by measures which were not incon sistent with the safety of the Church. By raising the inferior condition of the clergy, there was great danger of their weakening the efficiency of both ; and, therefore, al though some changes, and some important changes, in the Church as established were necessary, yet he (the Right Reverend Prelate) had the fulle,t confidence in his Majesty's Ministers that they would not propose any change that would not be com patible with the essential interests of the Church. He felt confident that the measures which his Majesty's Government had in contemplation were not likely to be removed in consequence of such observations as the Noble Lord had thought proper to throw out.—(Hear, hear, near.) As far as the Bench of Bishops was con cerned, the Noble Lord bad no right to impute to them an unwillingness to enter into any measures which were likely to conduce to a proper Reform of the Este iilished Church. He was sure there was no sacrifice they would not anxiously make if it should appear they were required by the exigencies of the Church Establishment. With respect to the information which the Noble Lord had moved for, he trusted that the Noble Lord would withdraw that motion.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Per.. sons who received their insufficient stipends made their own returns, in which they stated the facts of the case, and he hardly knew whether in any other way the information wanted by the Noble Lord could be obtained. With respect to the Commission, it was a measure that he looked at with the greatest satisfaction ; at all events, when that was terminated, they would then appear before the country in their true colours.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It would he found that the abuses of the Church had been shamefully anti crossly exaggerated. They had but one view. He (the Right Rev. Prelate) spoke as one of the Commissioners who were to present to the public all the infor mation they wished. They had received returns from 11,000, all of whom did not comprehend the ques tion in precisely the same manner and qualification. Hear, hear.) They would, at the earliest possible opportunity, present information to the public in as clear and specific a manner as possible, and till that was done they had a right, on grounds of candour and equity, to expect that every one should suspend their judgment. He trusted that he had not exceeded his duty. He was not pre pared for the attack which the Noble Lord had made, but lie appealed to him to abstain, as far as he could, which he (the Right Reverend Prelate) regarded tot the Noble Lord's duty to the public, from making those remarks which in duced and predisposed the public mind to take undue advantages.—(Hear, hear.) E irl GREY—My Lords, I cannot permit this conversa tion to pass without saying a few words on the statements of my Noble Friend. 1 lament, as I have for years lamented, the manner in which these discussions take place. I lament it more especially on the present occasion, because it has been stated as being in the contemplation of his Majesty's Government, and my Noble Friend has acceded to that statement, to propose in the course of the session, a measure for reforming the Church. Now, my Lords, I might say that I think it would in all re spects have been more convenient to have waited till those measures were introduced, and not to have endeavoured to anticipate them in the manner in which they have been anticipated. Can it be the interest of any body, on a sub ject which ought to be approached at least with the greatest reverence, to excite and to prejudice the mind? Auy Reform to which I can give my support will add to the security and the safety of the Church. With this view, and upon these grounds only, will any measure to which I have given my sanction be presented to this House for its consideration. My opinion is, that instead of entering upon these discussions at the present moment, it will be much better, anti much more convenient that they should stand over till the mass of papers which are now preparing are laid upon the tattle. It is not necessary for me to say more in answer to my Noble Friend than this, that there never was a time when the people were more indebted to the heads of the Church for their strict at tention to their duties than the present.—(Hear, hear.) I h ave only to add that all the information which my Noble Friend calls for, will be contained in the report to be made by the Church Commissioners, and that report only now waits to be put into a proper shape for being laid on your Lordships' table. I think if my Noble Friend will only give a little consideration to the subject, he will think these desultory conversations upon the subject arc both dangerous and premature, and can be at tended with no good result till the promised information is before the House. The only other topic is the limitation of the time in which the tithes can be recovered. iNly Noble Friend must forget the Bill which was introduced by a Noble Lord, whose loss we have all to regret, and which is now the law of the land, which goes directly to this subject. My Noble Friend hes also introduced into his speech the late filling up of the Bishopric of Derry. 1 will only say to him that he ought to have better grounds upon which to found his accu sations than mere public rumour. Had he applied to me for information on the subject, it would have been at once supplied to him. My Lords, before that See was filled up, I had an intention to reduce the revenues of that See ; and I am now free to admit that they are too large. I am still of that opinion ; but on further consideration I thought it better nut to begin upon an isolated case, but to fill up the See, and take the whole of the case into consi deraticn at once. On looking at the . times, more Reform in the Church of Ireland seems to be necessary, and On the Ist of January, 1833, was published, THE PENNY CYCLOPIEDEA of the SOCIETY for the DIFFUSION of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE, No. 1., to be continued every Wednes day. The existing Cyclopaelias have been chiefly published for the use of the few who could afford to purchase ex pensive works ; and thus, being framed with a view to attain a certain completenes. , , they have become large col lections of dissertations, designed, in most cases, to su persede the the necessi.y of referring to any other autho rities. To attempt to rival such voluminous publications would be absurd ; to abridge their contents, and thus de• stroy their value, would be unjust. It is therefore intended to re-cast the whole Circle of Knowledge, by engaging men of eminence in their respective walks to prepare ori ginal articles, to be undertaken with the especial conside deration that a very much larger body of readers is about to be addressed tban were ever before regarded as the put. chasers of a Cyclopedia. As far as they are yet able to form a definite idea of the proportions of the whole, the Editors consider that, by the publication of a volume of about 580 small folio pages in each year, which will be effected by the Weekly Publication in Penny Numbers and a Monthly Supplement, the Cyclopedia may be com pleted ever, do not pledge themselves upon this point ; but upen another point they will pledge themselves —that the work, once commenced, shall go steadily forward till it is con cluded. The Committee have to add that their Cyclo iia will be illustrated with Wood Cuts. The " Penny Cyclopaedia" is printed uniformly with the " Penny Atig,zine," and published in Weekly Numbers at a Penny, with a double or single Monthly Supplement, so that Six Numbers will appear in each Month. The Monthly Parts are Sixpence ; and conse quently the annual cost of a Volume will be Six Shilling:. PART I. PRICE SIXPENCE, WILL BE PUB LISHED FEB. 1.

The main feature in the evening's dis cussion was the fulfilment of our anticipations ofyester day, that the Conservatives would speak out. They have done so, through Sir ROBERT PEEL, who deli vered one of the best speeches that has marked his political career. Of course, we cannot agree with parts of it, but are happy to perceive that whilst he maintained the necessity of that Union between England and Ireland, upon which we are satisfied the future happiness, prosperity, and safety of both depend, he concurred with us in hoping that it might be maintained by justice, and an appeal to reason instead of an appeal to arms. His admission that Ireland had long been misgoverned was ingen uous, and making it, he ought in some degree to excuse the excesses of the poor creatures who have been the victims of that misgovernment, and to be willing to make allowances for their desire to have the olive branch put at least as prominently forward as the sword. The other speeches of" mark or likelihood" were those of Mr. COBBETT arid Mr. HUME. We name them, we think, in the order of their merit ; for although Mr. HUME'S was good, and urged with as much force as ever his favourite plans of retrenchment and economy, there was not much, or, indeed, any thing, of a novel character in it. Mr. COBBETT'S, on the other hand, was a novelty iu the House of Commons. It exhibited much of that peculiar style, plain, but energetic, which has so long distinguished his writings. As far as we may judge from this specimen of his powers, we should say that those who anticipated he would fail in the House, like HUNT, will prove mistaken. We are glad to see among the list of notices given in the House of Commons, last night, two, by Nlr. LYTTON BULIVER, of Bills, for the better protection of dramatic authors, and the better regulation of the laws operating on dramatic performers. These Bills may not command so much public attention as others in times of excitement like these ; but as they are intended to afford relief to two classes of the com munity, which have suffered more from encroach ments on their rights than any other we can name, we hope the House of Commons will find time to pass them. Actors have been branded with disgrace— a stigma has been fixed upon their profession—its free exercise has been restricted, and instead of being punished for a breach of morality, when committed, as all others are, it is at once taken for granted that the practice of reciting the most beautiful poetry in the world, is so dangerous as to require precautionary enactments against those who profess it. Authors, again, have, Heaven knows, enough to contend against without having their difficulties increased by injustice on the part of the Legislature. 'We trust that Mr. BULWER'S enlightened exertions are now about to meet their due reward. We have received letters from Oporto up to the Ist instant, from which it appears, that up to that time every thing had borne a favourable aspect for the cause of DON PEDRO, even including the sortie of Marshal SOLIGNAC, which, although not attended with the desired results, was calculated to show the effect which would follow a general sortie. The partial failure of Marshal SOLIGNAC is attributed in these letters to Admiral SARTORIUS, who misun derstood the orders which he had received. It is stated that SARTORIUS is likely to be superseded, as the Government are not well satisfied with him ; and most of his officers are desirous of a change. It would seem from these accounts that, 90 far from the Marquis of PALMELLA having been re moved as stated here, on account of his having given offence to Lord PA►MERSTON by pressing the con 'titutional cause upon him too strenuously, his dis missal arose from his not having carried matters quite so far as some of the Pedroite Ministers wished. The French Papers allude with confidence tom change in the Ministry, which will be made in ac cordance with the spirit of the revolution of July. This change, says the Illessager der Chambres, has been influenced in no slight de gree "by what has lately passed in Paris, re lative to political collisions and duels." On the subject of these duels, the !ifoniteur of Wednesday contains an article diSplaying considera ble address, in which it adroitly observes, " This is not a political question, but one of order, humanity, and individual liberty." German Papers mention that the new Austrian Loan is again talked of, which accounts for the funds having declined for some days past. The same authorities speak of the town of Fribourg being in such a state of excitement, in consequence of the election of a Burgomaster, that " the nobility have given notice to their tradesmen, that they intend to remove from so revolutionary a city." From Stutt gard they write that a rumour is very prevalent respecting the intention of his MAJESTY to pack up his Court and other household matters, and remove to Louisbourg, such was the combustible nature of his Royal wrath against the citizens of Stutt gard. A deputation has in consequence been ap pointed, and an address drawn up, praying his MA JESTY graciously to relent, and stay among his faith ful subjects of Stuttgard. It is not yet known what effect this supplication has had. We subjoin the following : HANOVER, JAN. 9.4.—1 n yesterday's sitting of the Second Chamber, after four hours' animated discussion on the subject of imposing a higher duty on foreign bar iron, the proposal of the Committee to fix it at one rix dollar per 100 lbs. was adopted by a majority of 30 to 23. Swedish iron is, however, to be subject to an import duty of only 4 groschen.—Allgoneine Zeitung, Feb. 2. MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR. ALDERMAN VENABLES.-(THIS DAY.) A very numerous and highly-respectable meeting of Merchants, Bankers, Traders, and Inhabitant Householders, of the City of London, in the interest of Mr. Alderman Venables, was held this afternoon, at the King's Head, in the Poultry, with a view to promote that gentleman's return to Parlia. ment, on the vacancy created by the decease of the late Mr. Alderman Waithman. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that, prior to the dissolution of the last Parlia ment, Mr. Alderman Thompson withdrew his pretensions for the honour of a seat in the new representation, for the reasons he then stated, which announcement brought no less than four aspirants into the field, to supply his place, in the persons of George Grote, Esq. ; Sir John Key, Bart., George Lyall, Esq. and Mr. Michael Scales. And, in fact, at that time, so great was the Reform spirit manifested, and so prominent were the exertions made use of by the respec tive friends of the two former candidates, that Mr. Al. derman Venables, with evident prudence, and rather than that the cause of Reform, which he had so strenuously sup ported, should be placed in jeopardy by an ill-judged collision, very wisely deferred his claims upon the new constituency until a more favourable opportunity occurred, and when less danger should be likely to accrue to the popular interest, because it then happened that by the splitting of promises the Conservative and the Ultra-Radical candidates were making rapid advances upon the ground of the Reformers. The worthy Alderman's address on the conflicting occasion alluded to, was expressed in feeling and becoming terms, and his disinterestedness has no doubt gained him many friends. It is therefore desirable, that as an early vacancy has presented it self, seasonable efforts should be made on his behalf, and we trust that the sterling Reformers of London will be true to themselves, and grateful to a faithful and tried servant, by at once rallying around him, and thereby secure triumphantly his re.election to a situation he very justly deserves to inherit. B. HA WES, Esq., M.P., was unanimously called to the Chair, and, in opening the business of the meeting, urged the fitness of the Worthy Alderman to fill a capacity he had pre_ viously occupied with credit to himself and advantage to his constituents, and the Chairman was continuing his observations to the assembly when the reporter left the meeting. We noticed in the room several of the most opulent and influential gentlemen of the city of London, who appeared to take great interest in the object for which they had been convened. THE NAVAL AND MILITARY GAZETTE. —lndependently of the various professional subjects which will be embraced by the above New Weekly News, n e understand it is intended to comprise every desirable species of information relative to the East India Company's Possessions, the West India Islands, and the British Colo nies in general. The First Number is to appear on Saturday next, and may be ordered of any Newman.—THE OFFICE Is AT 19, CATHERINE-STREET, STRAND. though that See is filled up, the holder of it can have no claim, if its revenues are reduced, to any compensation on the ground of vested rights.—(Hear, bear.) One thing I must say, in contradiction to what has been ad vanced by my Noble Friend, that so far from receiving any opposition to the reformation of the Church in Ire land from the Prelates in England, the contrary has been the fact.—(Cheers.) I hope my Noble Friend will ab stain from these desultory conversations on the subject, as they can only lead to one end—the raising up of a hostile feeling against the Church in the people's minds. lam not aware that there is any thing more for me to answer ; and I hope that my fr iend will withdraw his motion, and here the discussion will end. Lord KING maintained that it was the attention of the public being drawn to these subjects that was the main spring of any reforms in the Church. He would still call them abuses, and would still agitate the subject. After a few words from the Bishop of BATH and WELLS, Earl GREY, and the Loan CHANCELLOR, the motion was withdrawn. The LORD CHANCELLOR then brought in a Bill for diminishing the expense in Commissions of Lunicy, which was read a first time, ordered to be printed, and read a second time to-morrow. The House then adjourned. EAST INDIA HOUSE, DEC. 19, 1832. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENGLAND, TRADING to the EAST INDIES, do hereby give Notice, That the Committee of Shipping will be ready, between this day and the 20th of February next, to receive Pro posals in writing, sealed up, from such Persons as may be willing to occupy tonnage on board Ships in the Com pany's Service consigned to Bengal and to Bombay, spe cifying the rate they are willing to pay for the same, dis tinguishing measurable Goods from dead weight ; that the Committee will be ready, at the same time, to receive Proposals in writing, sealed up, from such Persons as may be desirous to occupy tonnage on board Ships in the Com pany's Service consigned to China. A Blank Form of Proposals may be bad upon applica tion at the Shipping Office, where the rate of Freight for China may be ascertained ; the Proposals must be left at that Office, with the words " Tender for Freight" on the Cover. PETER AUBER, Secretary. LAURIE, MAYOR. ACOMMON COUNCIL holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall, of the city of London, nn Thursday the 7th day of February, 1833 ; Resolved unanimously, That this Court deeply deplore the loss they have sustained in the death of the late Robert Waithman, Esq., who, by the consistent and honourable discharge of his various duties, in the several stations of Common Councilman, Alderman, Sheriff, Lord Mayor, and Representative of this city in Parliament, has secured to his memory the lasting esteem of this Court and of his fellow citizens. They also take thiv opportunity of tendering to the surviving relatives of that eminent individu their sincere Condolence upon the loss of a gentleman distinguished by those virtues which have characterized his conduct in all the relations of private life. WOODTHORPE. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELEC TORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, AVACANCY in the Representation of this City having been occasioned by the lamented death of Mr. Alderman Waithman, I beg leave meet respectfully to announce to you, that having been strongly urged by my friends, it is my intention again to present myself to your notice. Although I came forward at the last Election under the disadvantage of a great number of the Electors having previously promised their support to the other candidates, the votes recorded in my favour were, nevertheless, up wards of 5,000, being nearly half of the whole number which were polled. Trusting, therefore, that nothing has since occurred to alter your favourable opinion, I have the utmost confi dence that, by your kind support, which I earnestly solicit, I shall attain the object of my highest ambition. I have the honour to be, with the utmost respect, Gentlemen, your obedient and very faithful Servant, • . GEORGE LYALL. Winchester House, Broad street, Feb. 6, 1833.

In the House of Lords, last night, a sort of flying skirmish took place between Lord KING and the Bishop of LONDON, on the exceedingly ticklish sub ject of Church Reform. The Noble Lord is—it is well-known—a stanch advocate for the correction of all ecclesiastical abuses. He " flutters the Vols cians in Corioli," wherefore his rising in the House, more especially when he happens to be in a caustic vein, is always viewed with uneasiness l i by the Reverend Bench. His Lordship observed last night that " those great personages (the Bishops) abstracted a large portion of the revenues of the Church, while the pittance given to the ministers who did the whole of the duty, was scandalous in the ex treme." To this plain, straight-forward, hard-hit ting remark, the Bishop of LONDON replied, that "there was no doubt that one of the greatest blessings de sired in this country was to increase the comfort, the respectability, and efficacy of the poor clergy; but that could only be done by measures which were not inconsistent with the safety of the Church. By raising the inferior condition of the clergy, there was great danger of their weakening the efficiency of both; and, therefore, although some changes, and some important changes, in the Church, as established, were necessary, yet he (the Right Rev. Prelate) had the fullest confi dence in his MAJESTY'S Ministers that they would not propose any change that would not be com patible with the essential interests of the Church." Now these observations have, we must confess, too episcopal an air about them to suit altogether our views of what a Church Reform should be. The Rev. Prelate has no doubt that the working clergy ought to be better remunerated; his only doubt is, whether " it could be done by measures which were not inconsistent with the safety of the Church." Why, certainly, if the " safety of the Church" is inseparably bound up with the wealth of its epis copal dignitaries and pluralists, there can be no question that the more such wealth is reduced, the more the safety of the establishment is compro mised ! But we deny the fact. The safety of the Church, we contend, has nothing to do with its riches—else how happens it that the Scotch Church is still alive and flourishing ?—exorbitant wealth is its blemish, not as the good Bishop would seetn to imply, its ornament. An over-paid, or rather a Church whose revenues are disproportion ately distributed, ever has been, and ever will be, a nuisance, for it sets inquiry on the work, and, worse than that, provokes the most hazardous comparisons. The Bishop's reply evidently conveys an idea that the R e v. Bench have no objection to raise the incomes of the inferior clergy, provided their own incomes do not suffer by the experiment. If it bear not this meaning, it bears no other that we know of. It is a straw thrown up to show how the wind blows ; and we infer, therefore, that none but a bit-by-bit Reform will satisfy the squeamish tastes of the Rev. Bench. We could enlarge on this fertile theme, but space and time just now forbid. The adjourned debate in the House of Commons was not, it will be seen, concluded last night, and we deem it problematical whether it will be brought to a close even to-night, If Mr, O'CONNELL mean!
