SPIRIT OF TIIF. PUBLIC JOURNAL The commission for inquiring into the abuses of corpora tions will derive a fresh stimulus to its own activity, and in_ creased importance in the eyes of the country, from the Par liamentary report which has just brought to light the proceed. ings at the last election for Warwick. Mayors, aldermen, town_clerks, stewards, Peers, and bludgeoners—what treason to the Constitution, what mortal insult to the honest public feelings of Englishmen, did the whole management of the elec. tion for the town of Warwick present, on the part of one and all of the Earl of Warwick's political tools and understrappers. The bribery, so far from being concealed, was even ostenta tiously carried on by the worshipful aldermen and the trusty steward of the Noble Earl, and the means were furnished from the private funds of the Earl of Warwick, as stands demon strated in the report, on the evidence of his Lordship's banker. Are such practices, then, we ask, to be allowed ? Are Mem. bers of Parliament to be manufactured for the people of this country by so foul and base a process ? Or is the attempt to lin_ pose such fabricated representatives upon the nation to be merely defeated, then recorded, and finally passed over with impunity ? It is true that Sir Charles Greville, the nominee or faggot candidate of the Earl of Warwick, was ousted from his seat by an election committee; but, as appears on the face of the report, that Hon. Baronet was the only individual who bore no personal share whatever in the criminality of the election. What, then, was the Earl of Warwick's part of it ? His Lordship only found the means of bribery, and the minor agents, who dispensed and administered for that purpose the proceeds of his deposit at the banker's, were, according to all human modes of judging, in the employment of the Noble Earl. Then it gives us pain to add, that the Earl of War. wick is, and has been for some years, the Tory Lord-Lieu tenant of the important county whence he draws his title. He holds the highest executive station in that county un der the Crown. He is at the head of the Magistracy— the official guardian and enforcer of the laws. He is looked up to as, ex o f ficio, the discountenancer and corrector of all mis conduct in each and every public functionary throughout the whole of Warwickshire. Yet here stands this man, declared by a Committee of the House of Commons—he being Lord Lieutenant of the county, and Recorder—that is, both civil and criminal judge of the borough, and therefore bound, in his double capacity, to exercise a twofold watchfulness over a due observance of the laws—declared, we say, to have vio lated the law of Parliament in the resolutions and standing orders of the House of Commons, and to have unconstitu tionally applied 3,0001. and upwards towards " the election ex penditure," and promotion of the political interest of Sir Charles Greville! It behoves Earl Grey's Ministry to announce at once whether a Peer of the realm, Lord-Lieutenant of a county, and Judge of a considerable town, having so far violated his most sacred duties, ought to be suffered any longer to retain that high and exalted office to which the favour of the Sovereign, or rather of a Tory Administration, had raised him, and which he could neither originally have acquired, nor can continue to hold, but on the responsibilty of King's acknowledged Coun sellors : it is, we do not hesitate to declare, the bounden duty of Earl Grey's Government to dismiss the Earl of Warwick at once from his Lord-Lieutenantcy, on this formal report of a Committee of the House of Commons that his conduct in that high situation has been an outrage against the laws for selfish objects of political aggrandizement. If the Whig Mi nistry delay this virtuous act, they encourage their enemies throughout the whole kingdom, disappoint and vex, and mortify their friends. The thing ought to be completed with all pos sible speed. A Tory Cabinet had no scruple of delicacy about t urning out the high-minded and unblemished Earl Fitzwilliam from his Lieutenancy of the West Biding of Yorkshire for no crime at all. And the political manes of that excellent Noble man are yet—let the Grey Administration bethink itself, yet— unrevenged to this moment. —Tines. We rejoice to see the altered spirit of the Tory Peers. The disfranchisement of the ten Bishops has passed by a majority in the Committee of 90 to 76, and it is generally believed that the measure will come out of the Committee unmutilated. Whe ther the Conservatives, like dissevered worms, will re-unite on the third reading, remains to be proved. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. We are now inclined to think that the Lords will scarcely have courage to emasculate or cast out the Bill. It was observed last night, that a number of the ont-and. (Jitters went out before the division. Whether this was to mark their contempt for the insufficiency of the amendment proposed by the I)uke of Wellington, which fell so far short of their views, or was a retaliation for his Grace's leaving the House tefore the division on the second reading, we know not. It is clear that there are strong and marked differences in the ranks of the Conservatives ; and we trust that they will continue long enough to allow the Bill to pass into a law. This will serve the country, and it will do no disservice to the Peers themselves. Earl Grey had a sly rap at the nolo.cpiscopari argument of the Bishop of Exeter, in the debate on Thursday night—" What had been mentioned by a Right Reverend Prelate," said his Lordship, " as to the chance of any Bishop refusing an addi. tional mitre and crosier, was a difficulty which had never oc cztrred to him. If, however, it should really occur that any Prelate objected to the addition to his spiritual charges, such a difficulty might be remedied by appointing some person to act with such Prelate in the capacity of Coadjutor, with the pro spect of succeeding to the bishopric, when vacant.—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Tennyson brought forward last night his motion for the repeal of the Septennial Act, leaving the duration of Par. liaraent to be afterwards filled up. We confess we could have wished that the motion had not been brought forward at period of the session when no practical result could fellow. We were not, however, satisfied with the answer of the Right llon. Gentleman received. Lord John Russell's distinction be tween a Republic and a Monarchy would seem to imply that in a Monarchy the representatives of the people and their constituents should be of different sentiments. If it be advisable, as was contended, that the people should have time to cool down a little before pronouncing on the merits of their representatives, as the people in a Republic are as apt to judge hastily as the people in a Monarchy, there can be no reason for a distinction, as the welfare of the people themselves is concerned. But it is implied, in the possibility of a Re public existing with a triennial or shorter duration, that such a duration is compatible with the welfare of the people. AN'hy triennial Parliaments should destroy the Constitution, except it be maintained that the Constitution would be de stroyed if the people be truly represented, we cannot discover. The reso:ution of Mr. Tennyson was supported by a large mi nority—the numbers having been ICA to 213, giving a majority 1,, , f only 49. This ought to be a warning to Ministers that they are on ticklish ground.—Morning Chronicle. In our paper of yesterday—constrained by want of room— we inserted but an extract from the report of the Committee 0)1 the Warwick Election. We this day publish the report in full, that the public may have before them, on good autho. ity, a specimen of the working of borough patronage in one of its remaining depositaries. What a pity that such patro nage should have been swept away or reduced by the Reform Act' The Committee have done themselves great ho n gar the uncompromising tone in which they have described al the delinquencies, and demanded all the de linquents. Those persons who remember " the sweet, re luctant, amorous delay" with which former Parliaments used t, shrink—not from the touch of bribery—but from its ex posure and punishment, may possibly consider the style of the present document too rough. Sir Robert Peel, who is a great stickler for propriety, may not like it, as the precedents are not numerous nor the practice strictly Ministerial. There is, however, a growing disposition:in the public mind to favour the innovation of calling things by their right names, It is, therefore, more than probable that Sir Robert's mind and the public mind will think differently upon this as well as upon some other subjects. Far be it from us to impute to so sagacious a statesman the folly of defending bribery. All we would insinuate is, that, as a disciple of the old school, he may be shocked to see even such a monster as Bribery knocked down without a due regard to the graces. But the worst of it is, that the Committee, not satisfied with a blunt, point-blank description of the offences committed by a Noble Lord and a Worshipful Corporation against laws and morals, have stuck them in, every one by name, so that they must go down to posterity together in the same family piece. No doubt, as we have already stated, many persons will disapprove of this ; but the public, who are the judges after all, will not be so rice in the matter of etiquette, seeing that they have obtained a respectable if not a delicate substitute in the pre. sence of truth.—Morning Herald. 4 is with pain, indignation, and sorrow that we point the atrep,tipn of our readers to the vote of the reformed House of 'Commons of last night upon the question of triennial Parlia ments, brought forward by Mr. Tennyson, in an able, efficient, and unanswerable speech. It was opposed by the reformed Ministry itself, and opposed also by those who had pledged themselves to their constituents to support it. Va. robis ! is the only exclamation which is permitted to us. Another nail in the coffin of the Ministry, if it wanted one, the vote as suredly is; but let us wait for the list of the majority an mi nority—for there's the rub! Meanwhile there is this consonion for " hope deferred," the minority of 164, considering the na ture and character of the opposition to Mr. Tennyson's motion, was a glorious one.—Morning Advertiser. In the House of Lords last night the consideration of the Irish Church Temporalities Bill was resumed in Committee, when the Duke of Wellington proposed an important amend. ment to the nd clause, which enacts the union of certain bishoprics. The object of this amendment was to leave to the discretion of the Crown as each see becomes vacant the deci sion of the question whether, in the actual circumstances of the country, its suppression or amalgamation with any other see is at that time expedient. The Ministerial measure is de fended by the assertion that the number of Bishops in Ireland is disproportionate to the number of the protestant people. It is far from being certain, h o wever, we hope indeed that it is not even probable ' (rat in the several s ee s which are condemned to ex tinction by Ministers the same disproportion will be found Inva riably to exist at the period, uncertain in every case, and remote in many, when it is intended that this sentence of suppression 'halt take effect. We do not know how numerous a body of Protestants may be require d in the estimation of our liberal Ministers to vindicate the pre servation of their Bishop. But be the precise number what it may, it seems absurd to de termine prospectively that at a future undefined period such a number shall not be in existe nce. In addition to every other objection, the Ministerial measure is liable to the charge, from which the amendment of the Noble Duke would have re:ieved it, that it condemns bishoprics to extinction at a future period, although the main ground of this condemnation, when the time of execution shall arrive, may exist . no lon ger exce pt as a ma tter of history. The Duke of Wellington has shown himself more provident of the future, as well as more ardent in his desire and more sanguine in his etl.)vJi,---3-41.7k,i-fit,,vag,_,* *tin, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1833. Mr. TENNYSON's motion for the repeal of the Septennial Act, was lost last night in the House of Commons by a majority of 49. The numbers were cs follows :—For the motion, 164; against it, 213. In this minority we discern the herald of future jus tice. Still, respectable as it is, it would have been far more so, had there been no blinking—no backing out of the question on the part of certain Hon. Members to whom their constituents had somewhat incautiously intrusted the charge of pressing for ward the principles of Reform. On the other hand, the thick-and-thin partisans of Government were all present. There was no evasion among them. They came down prepared, at all hazards, to meet the proposition by a flat denial. In this way it was lost ;—not by the overwhelming moral in fluence of the Ministerial supporters, but by the shuffling—the supineness—the unpardonable ab sence of many of the would-be Reformers. How different would have been the result, had this been the sixth, instead of the first year of the Re formed Parliament ! What courteous references to " my Constituents" should we not have heard I How tame would have been the birds that are now so wild and shy! Triennial Parliaments would then have been the one thing needful—the Septennial Act, a blot en the fair face of the Constitution, which could not be too soon wiped out. But not a word about" Constituents" did we hear last night. Votes were given in direct opposition to their vtishes, just as if no such body existed. The time was not arrived when it was necessary their existence should be remembered. The Septennial Act, as most of our readers know, vas passed in the year 1716. At that period the nation was in a high state of ferment, owing to the intrigues of the Jacobin party, who, though "scotched" were not yet " killed." MAR'S rebellion having taken place only the year preceding, and the PRETENDER actively continuing to intrigue both here and on tl e ccntinent, it was considered far from improbable that his party might take advan tage of the frequent dissolution of Porliamems, to smuggle their own partisans into the Legislature. To prevent this the Septennial Act was passed. It was a wise, precautionary measure at the time, but adopted for one express purpose — to gu ard a g ainst one particular exigeney—and bore upon its very front the impress of a temporary expe dient. It was, in fact, an unconstitutional mea sure, justified by necessity, and projected and carried in a heat, at a season when men's minds were too much inflamed to allow them to discuss it rationally. Is a measure like this, then, so projected,—Eo passed, which was confessedly unconstitutional, end intended only to provide against one par ticuhr contingency, to bind the country, 'now that the circumstances which called it forth have long since • ceased to exist ? As well might the House insist that the Coercion Bill, with which they have just blessed Ireland, being once passed, shall continue in force to all eternity. To make their case tenabl e , th e a d voca t e s of the Septennial Act are bound to show that the position of the House of Hanover is just as precarious now, as it was when that Act was passed. They are bound to show that its necessity is as pressing as ever; otherwise it is their first, most imperative duty to restore the ancient Parlia mentary land-markF. But neither Lord ALTHORP 1141 Mr. STANLVY attempted this sort of argument. They merely ob served that they did not think Triennial Parliaments would be a change for the better. Lord RUSSELL, however put forth a more definite objection. His Lordship observed, "elections being so frequent, he thought it probable that the deliberate opinion of the people would not, as it ought, be supreme, but that they would act under error, inisapprehen sion, and delusion, which would place the Constitu tion in jeopardy." What an acute reasoner is this Noble Lord ! So, the oftener constituents canvass the merits of their candidates ; the oftener they discuss and decide on their public conduct; the oftener they endeavour to acquaint themselves with the pros and the COM of every great question that comes before Parliament ;—the oftener the peo ple do this, the oftener will they be likely to "act under error, misapprehension, arid delusion !" Here's logic for you! Why, upon this principle, the more Lord J. RUSSELL studies the theory of the Constitution, and familiarises himself with the great truths of history, the less likely will he be to know anything of the matter. Till now, we always thought that " deliberate opinion" was the result of frequent discussion, and only to be respected when acquired by such a process. But his Lordship says no. The fact is just the other way. Popular discussion is the ruin of popular sagacity, and cannot. fail to " place the constitution in jeopardy." His Lordship must have been sadly pressed for arguments, when he resorted to sophistry like this. But, indeed, the whole conduct of Ministers, throughout the night, was marked by jesuistry and evasion. They had nothing to urge against the home-thrusts of Dr. LUSHINGTON ; the shrewd re marks of Mr. SHELL; or the temperate, conclusive reasoning of Mr. TENNYSON. The truth is, the Whigs are now in office, and as it is many years since they broke their fast on the Treasury loaves and fishes, they are resolved, coute qui coute, to have a bellyful. Kick them and they will not stir. Smite them ms one cheek, and, like good Christians, they will turn to you the other. They rep:esent, not so much the country, as them selves. They advocate, not so much the in terests of the community, as of Whigism. This is harsh language. Granted. But how with sincerity can we use other ? Out of office, the Whigs were all for Triennial Parlia ments; in office, they are all for the Septennial Act. Out of office, " revolution" was a thing to be blinked at—patted on the back—used discreetly, and talked to civilly ; in office, it is a thing too hor rible to be alluded to, —a monster which it curdles Whig blood but to think of. Bless ings on such delicate fastidiousness! But it will not do. Ministers, nolens volens, must march with the country. They must give their quid pro quo—pay their Just debts to the people, or declare their Firm a bankrupt. They have gone upon credit long enough. It is high time that they come down with the solid cash. The Church Temporalities (Ireland) Bill made some progress in the Lords' Committee last night, their Lordships sitting till past twelve o'clock, and passing all the clauses up to the 48th, with the ex ception of the 41st and 42d. No amendments were made except of a verbal nature, although, to speak in sporting language, one of an important descrip tion was " tried on" with no small skill by the Duke of WELLINGTON. On the clause providing for the union of bishoprics, as their present holders die off being read, his Grace proposed as an amendment, that " in case his MAJESTY, his heirs or successors, shall be minded to grant in com mendain the bishopric of Waterford," &c., he shall be able to do so. If it be desirable that these bi shoprics should be united, why not do it at once? But the fact is, that the Duke of WELLINGTON does not wish it to be done, and as the KING would not "be minded" to do any thing of the kind, in the event of a Tory Administration again getting into power, his Grace calculated upon rendering the Bill inoperative, for it is evident he has not yet given up the fond hope of returning to power. The amendment was, of course, supported by the whole Conservative clique; but the chance of success depending upon discretion, their arguments did not take a very extensive range. One of its supporters (the Earl of RossE) gave a curious reason for the course he took. He said that "he had arrived at a time of life when he was only inclined to advocate measures which were just, wise, and honest." Are we to infer from this, that bad as the Noble Earl thinks the Bill, he would have voted for it if he had been a little younger ? It is a curious sort of morality that, which is regulated, in the rise and fall of its tone, by the near or distant approach of death. Should the question of the repeal of the Septennial Act come before the House of Lords next se , sion, we shall expect the Noble Earl to support the affirmative, for he, at least, cannot resist the force of the argu ment, that as Parliaments draw near their end they are anxious only to, do that which is "just, wise, and bona st." The amendment was negatived by a ma jority of 90 to 76. Before their Lordships went into Committee, a petition was presented, which gave rise to some ob servations worthy of note. It was presented by the Earl of RADNOR, from the Political Union of Glasgow, praying for a repeal of the Act of CHARLES 11., under which the Bishops sit in the ' House of Lords. The Earl of HADDINGTON contended that it was impossible to listen to the prayer of the petition for a moment, and the Earl of ABERDEEN followed up this round assertion by putting, in answer to some observations of the CHANCELLOR, the case of a petition praying for the dethronement of the King, as if cutting off a man's head and cutting off his hair—"superfluous excres cences," as the oil advertisers have it—were the same thing. The Bishop of CutoDEST,,En called the prayer absurd. Government contractors are ex cluded from the Legislature—it is not thought ab surd ; a petition to exclude Recorders from the House of Commons would not be thought absurd; and why a petition to exclude from the House of Lords the Bishops,who unite in their own persons the objections arising from being subject to the influence of the Crown, and having important duties to attend to, should be thought absurd, we cannot imagine. That the evils of their presence in the House of Lords to the Constitution, and to the establishment they are appointed to superintend, are not merely theoretical, is abundantly proved by their truckling subserviency to the Tory Administrations of the last fifty years, and the vast increase of Dissenters. It is impossible to deny that many have been made Dissenters by the neglect of their duty by the parochial clergy; and that their negligence arises from the want want of a proper regard being paid to their duty by the Bishops. History shows the truth of our other assertion, that the Bishops have been the tools of Ministers, and such they will continue as long as subserviency or independence makes all the diffe rence between 3,0001. per annum and 20,0001. or 30,0001. per annum. The opposition they have given to the Whigs has arisen from fear of their not continuing in power, and also perhaps of their in clination to prune the establishment at the first convenient opportunity; but already some of the more sagacious among them begin to see that the reign of Toryism cannot return, and that it is worth while to speculate upon the archbishopric of Canterbury, or the bishopric of Durham, be ing left, for y ears to come, with princ e ly i ncomes . The fact, therefore , of the Bishop st s la ho ho p ttraite t t LONDON turn ingiim)raey wrill of against his collea g ues, and su pp or ting this Bill, is only an additi onal ar g ument in su pport of our po sition, that the B isho p s are an unfit body to be in the Housersee o o f of c L i o u r c d i s i .ESTAERve: The official accounts from Lisbon state that Don MIGUEL reckoned confidently on the taking of Oporto under the auspices of General BOURMONT, and that, in order to concert with his new General the plan of future operations, arrangements had been made for an interview, which was to take place within a few hours of BOURMONT'S debarkation. These accounts state that, although Dun MANUEL MARTINI had been forced to evacuate Somar almost as hastily as he had entered it, and to make a move ment very different from what he at first intended, owing to the movement of troops in the vicinity of his band, his retreat bad been productive of the effect of increasing his numbers very mate rially, and making his co-operation of great value to the Duke of TERCEIRA, whose progress had not been so rapid as the friends of Donna MARIA in Lisbon could have wished. The news of the capture of MIGUEL'S fleet does not appear to have been generally known in Lisbon up to the 9th inst., although many persons connected with the Government were aware of the fact on the 6th, when it was also known at Oporto, al though it would appear, from the letters in the Morning Papers, that it did not reach Oporto till the 9th. Our readers, however, %%ill remember that, on Saturday last, we stated, on the authority of a letter from Oporto dated the 7th inst., that the news had arrived there,and had produced great effect. The accounts from Oporto which we have seen are cheering, hut they do not confirm the statements made by a Morning Contemporary as to the Pedroite forces in that place. Instead of 14,000 men of all arms, the force little exceeds 10,000, in cluding the National Guard. But it should be re marked, that for the purposes of defence the Na tional Guard is quite equal to the regular troops. In the affair of the 5 h they behaved with such gal lantry and steadiness that the French Colonel, DUYERGIER, said they reminded him of the heroes of July. With these 10,000 men there is reason to believe Gen. SALDANIIA and Sir T. STUBBS will be able to hold their ground against the 18,000 whom BOURMONT may be able to bring against them ; but it will require great tact to counteract the plans of that General, who is considered by persons who are competent to form a correct judg ment, one of the best Generals BONAPARTE had. Should SALDANHA be able to retain Oporto until NAPIER has entered the Tagus, and, in conjunction with the Duke of TERCEIRA, obtained possession of St. Übes, there can be no doubt of the declaration of the inhabitants of Lisbon immediately following such a demonstration; but should Oporto fall, the character of the contest will be again changed. Lisbon will remain in the power of the Usurper, and the contest on Dan PEDRo's side will be confined to maritime operations and guerilla warfare. The possession of Oporto would not, however, de feat the chance of ultimate success to PEDRO—it would protract the contest, and delay the recogni tion of Donna MARIA as Q teen de facto of Por tugal, by this country and France. On this ground, therefore, the friends of constitutional freedom must feel anxious for the security of Oporto. It is worthy of note that on the sth inst. one of the Miguelite Generals was on board an English ship of war, and declared that the Miguelite troops were much dispirited, having no confidence in the Com mander-in-Chief, and that unless some immediate change were to take place, he regarded the triumph of Don PEDRO as sure. Whether the arrival of lot RMONT will effect this change remains to be seen. It was reported in the City that an extraordinary express has arrived from Paris, bringing intelli gence that the French Government received a telegraphic despatch yesterday morning from Bayonne, announcing that Marshal POURMONT made a desperate attack upon Oporto on the 16th, and was obliged to retire on the road to Braga with a considerable loss, The election for Common-Sergeant comes on to-morrow. The City of London will do itself honour, by appointing Mr. HILL to this high office, who is every way qualified for it by his profound legal acquirements, his liberal public principles, and un,potted private character. We regret to learn that accounts have been re ceived in town this clay, announcing the death of his Grace the Duke of SUTHERLAND, which took place at Dunrobin Castle. His Grace (formerly Marquis of STAFFORD) was recently raised to the Dukedom along with the Marquis of CLEVELAND. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Up to the present hour we are without any arrivals of con sequence. Letters have been delivered by the Lisbon and Oporto mails this morning, by which it appears that the public at Lisbon, on the oth inst., were still ignorant of Admiral IsLipier's victory. Some remonstrances on the part of our Ad miral had taken place with Don Miguel's Minister, respecting one of our vessels having been fired at. The Chambers of the kingdom of Saxony have unanimously passed a law for the full emancipation of the Jews in that kingdom. expectations of the increase of Protestantism in Ireland, than hii Majesty's Ministers. He would legislate for the progressive advancement of true religion ; they are content to regard it as of necessity stationary, or receding. Which view of the sub ject is the more honourable to British Statesmen we need not stop to inquire. The views of Ministers, however, prevailed; and we are ashamed to say that the Ministerial triumph was not achieved without episcopal assistance.—Morning Post. rt:ltE- THIS DAY AT ON , O'CLO:K.

RALF-PAST ONE. A private letter from Oporto states, that on the arrival of Marshal Bourmont at Don Miguel's army, he made material changes in its positions, and cleared away all the Miguelite's entrenchments, leaving the ground entirely open. This has the appearance of a French ruse de guerre, a faint retreat to draw the Pedroites out, and give them battle. We have also seen a letter, stating that the whole of the troops which were at figueiras, have been ordered by Miguel to the South against the Pedroites.

HYMEN AFLOAT.-MARRIAGE AT SEA. --In the ship Economist, which left Cromarty about ten clays ago with emigrants for Quebec, a marriage took place under circumstances of an unusual description. After the vessel had been a day at sea, a di.consolate damsel made her appearance on deck from the hold, in which she had contrived to secrete herself amidst the luggage. With her lover by her side, the young lady proceeded to inform the captain that she was privately married to her com panion ; but that, in order to frustra e the connexion, the relations of the bridegroom had determined on sending him off to America. On learning this intelligence she resolved to embark with him for the wilderness of the west, and had entered on board the vessel. She now wished the captain to perform a sort of marriage ceremony to satisfy the passengers on board, and render her situa tion more agreeable and respectable. The captain entered into the humour of the scene ; a wag on board d re w up a contract, a rich and rare docurn.'nt, and in presence of all on board, assembled on the deck, the pair were declared duly and indissolubly united. After the ceremony the happy couple were saluted by the ship's artillery, and by three long and loud cheers from the crew and passengers,—lnverness Courier. MPERIA L PA R LIA M. EN'! THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24. HOUSE OP COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his seat at a quarter-past 12 o'clock, at which time about 60 Members were present. BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE. Mr. Alderman WOOD brought up the report of the Com mittee upon the Blackfriars Bridge Bill, with amendments. the amendments having been read a first time, were ordered, with the Bill, to be engrossed. . . Mr. Sergeant PERRIN presented a petition from a parish in the county of Monaghan, complaining of various acts of op. pression in the collection of tithes, and of the improper inter. ference of the police. Mr. LITTLETON said he had carefully read the petition, and the numerous affidavits which accompanied it, but, of course, he could not have been able to make the necessary in. quiries into the subject in so short a time as since last Monday, when the Hon. and Learned Member was interrupted in the presentation of this petition. He had often received affidavits containing similar complaints, and he had referred a vast number to Ireland for investigation, but he had found that in 19 cases out of 20 there was but a very small basis of truth, a monstrous deal of exaggeration, and a great suppression of facts. He therefore was induced very much to distrust what was contained in such affidavits. The Hon. and Learned Member said it was very sharp practice in distraining for tithe due only last May ; and undoubtedly it was, unless the clergy man had reason to believe there was a combination; and it ap peared that there was reason to believe that a combination existed in this case, as a great many persons were proved to have been able to pay their tithes, and had the money in their pockets. The Right Hon. Gentleman went into the charges against the tithe proctors of excessive distraints ; of assaulting tithe payers, of tweaking open houses and breaking furniture, and of demanding tithe where none was due, and destroying the furniture they were not entitled to carry away. All those acts, if true, were punishable, not by Government but by the prose cution of the parties aggrieved ; then as to the charges against the police, it was not true, as he understood, that they were employed to assist in those acts, but that upon information sworn before the magistrates that a breach of the peace was apprehended, the magistrates, as they were bound to do, sent the p olice to see that no breach of the peace was committed. The Right Hon. Gentleman read a letter addressed by the Chief Constable of Police to Sir W. Gossett, to show that the police were not parties to any of the acts complained of. In conclusion the Right Hon. Gentleman said if the tithe proctor had been guilty of oppression, the law was open to the parties aggrieved, for Government could not in. terfere, and Government was not answerable ; it was, how ever (if the statements were true), a reproach on the gentry of Ireland that such acts should be allowed to go unpunished. —(Hear, hear, hear.) With respect to the conduct of the police, if the Hon. and Learned Member would select any two or three of the affidavits that particularly applied to them, he (Mr. Littleton) would undertake that a most rigid inquiry should be instituted into their conduct.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. FINN said he was only actuated by a love of justice to wards all parties in offering any observations on the petition. The evils of which Ireland had to complain, and which gave rise to the petition befere the House, were the result of a policy of 150 years—(Hear, hear)—which had made party sup erior, by permitting it to form exclusive juries, exclusive police, and ex clusive judges.—(Hear, hear.) It was not easy to eradicate all the vicious consequences of such a system. He implored the Right Hon. Gentleman, therefore, not to commit himself by an opinion on the police, until he had made sufficient inquiry into the case, keeping in mind the elements of which the police was composed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CHAPMAN gave the Right Hon. Secretary the ut most credit for good intentions ; but he feared these would be perverted if he did not consent to make full inquiry into such cases, but listened with confidence to the official state.. ments he might receive.—Hear.) The allegations in the pe tition were flatly denied in the communication read by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and this alone was enough to call for inquiry. Colonel VERNON defended the character of the jurymen in the north of Ireland. Mr. O'DWYER, in opposition to the opinion of that Hon. Member, would state, that a Judge of the land had found it in.. cumbent upon him to discharge a prisoner, by virtue of his privilege, although the jury had found him guilty. Party feeling ran so high, that it was impossible to obtain justice in the north of Ireland. Colonel PERCEVAL would contend that the juries in the north of Ireland did their duty conscientiously and fearlessly, It was in the south—in Kilkenny and other places—that the juries were regardless of their duty.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. P. BELLEW attributed nearly all the evils of Ireland to the jury system—the juries being all selected from one class. He believed, however, and he had no doubt it was believed in Ireland, that the present Right Hon. Secretary had a strong disposition to investigate every case brought under his notice, and to do justice ;—(Hear, hear, hear ;)—some of his acts had given great satisfaction.—(Hear, hear.) The appointment of a Commission to inquire into corporations was very satisfactory, for the election of persons on the Commission had been without regard to party or to religion.— (Cheers.) Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, if the object of this discussion was to convince, it would fail—(Hear, hear)—for facts were adduced on both sides, and both sides appeared equally confident. From all he could collect, such was the state of the administra. tion of justice in Ireland, that inquiry was essentially necessary. With respect to the Hon. Members opposite, he would say, that unless they co-operated with his Right Hon. Friend, it was impossible for him or any other person to conduct the affairs of that country, or administer the government with satisfaction. If the police were guilty, he hoped his Right Hon. Friend would not scruple to punish them.—(Hear.) Mr. BLANEY expressed his satisfaction at the statements that had fallen from the Right Hon. Secretary, and defended the conduct of the Jurors of the North of Ireland. Mr. LITTLETON begged to add that the Irish Government had, in the most earnest and anxious manner, investi gated—and would still continue to investigate— all the circumstances connected with the processions, whether they were Orange or Catholic, with a view of putting down outrages and upholding the law. Mr. SHEIL did not rise for the purpose of throwing in any of his own peculiar emotions.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that on this subject he was a partisan, and did not see how he could be otherwise. The calm manner of the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh deservedly ensured to him what had been said of another Honourable Member last night— " Pectora mulcet." No man was more ready than himself to admit that Lord Anglesea was the greatest advocate for the proper administration of justice in Ireland, but as long as juries were packed in the manner they were in that country, no good could be done, unless the underlings of authority were better instructed in their duty the evils under which Ireland laboured would not be removed. Mr. Sergeant PERRIN accepted with satisfaction the offer given by the Right Hon. Secretary to institute inquiry into the subject of the petition. An HON. MEMBER added a few observations to the discussion, and the petition was then laid upon the table. Mr. JOHN ROMILLY presented a petition from Mr. Sandys, complaining of the conduct of some of the magistrates of the Eastern Division of Kent. The Hon. Member said that the petitioner was very much respected, although not a wealthy man, and had for some time held the situation of clerk to the magistrates in the division mentioned. The pe tioner stated that he had been dismissed from his situation soon after he had been employed in making up the registration of votes under the Reform Bill, and, as he believed, from poli tical motives. The petitioner prayed that his case might be inquired into by that Honourable House, and that he might be heard by counsel in support of his petition. Sir E. KNATCHBULL denied that the magistrates, in dis. missing the petitioner, had been actuated bp any political feel ing. They had an undoubted right to discharge their clerk, and they had exercised that right in consequence of the manner in which he thought proper to express himself towards them. He had a letter from the Justices of the division alluded to, denying that the dismissal of the petitioner was in consequence of his poltical principles, but for other reasons. One Magi strate, Mr. Bell, had not signed that letter; but he (Sir E. Knatchbull) would not rest the case on thaf gentleman's opi dion ; Mr. Bell was in London at the time of the dismissal, and he at first said the dismissal of Mr. Sandy's was improper, but upon learning all the facts hi said the Magistrates could not have acted otherwise than they had done. After a few words from Mr. Estcourt, Mr. J. Romilly, Lord Fordwich, Mr. Roebuck, respecting the propriety of withdraw. ing the petition, Mr. ESTCOURT said the House had no more right to in terfere between a magistrate and his clerk, than between a gentleman and his butler. division, After some but nonef u r further took ipoLkipresentedae discussionswesn placetepresented. ;ndaan t a andpgpeeawepetition against ttsii gallery tuoonnnt dhffererwroosit Bill understood cleared eo e yt r a hDe r ie e ihs d fpesoeerctn f i o ott triemhor petition was withdrawn. mutation revision u C it,ot l r o ido n nF e o l c f f E R t T V h Di e A t wh C i'l e o is S r .c n of Canterbury for relief from the repairs of the chuich.

Mr. PEARSE presented a petition from the Quakers of Stroud, against the manner of enforcing dissenters to pay Church rates. After some further observations, the SPEAKER left the *hair. STATE OF TRADE.--The demand for wool lea goods in this neighbourhood continues steady. The tendency to advance in prices operates in some degree as a check upon the purchases of the merchants, who are ap. prehensive that present prices cannot be realized for any great length of time. At Huddersfield market on Tuesday a good deal of bnsiness was done.—Leeds Intelligencer. UNIVERSITY DEGREES.—When Dr.JOHN. SON visited the University of St. Andrews (a place fa mous for bestowing academical honours without much dis elimination), he took occasion to inquire of one of the professors into the state of the funds, and being to 1 that they were not so affluent as many of their neighbours, 4 . No matter," said the Doctor drily, 4 . persevere in the plan you have formed, and you will get rich by degrees.' CEMETERY AT HIGHGATE. MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) This morning a number of gentlemen met at the Golden' cross, Charing cross, for the purpose of taking measures r e form a Company, in order to erect a Cemetery near the Ne e Church, Highgate, on the same plan as that of Pere la Chaise at Paris ; amongst whom were Sir Robert Sydnei; J. S. Buckingham, Esq., N.P. ; Thos. Martin, Esq., D1.1'.; Col. L. Stanhope ; Wm. Jerdan, Esq. ; Messrs. Rosson, Gon e. win (architect), Pettigrew, &c. Mr. Martin was called to the Chair, and Mr. Rosson ro se to propose the first resolution.—(See Advertisement.) ge said it would be a work of supererogation in him to say muc h upon the subject, th 6 necessity for some plan of the kind ass so glaring. The very size of London and Westminster rug' gested the necessity of providing other means of sepultur e than what was afforded by churches and churchyard s ' —(Hear, hear, hear.) If any peculiar reason was required for the formation of a cemetery, he would at once gi ee one. He was informed, and he was sorry that there could be no doubt of its being true, that the cholera had again mad e its appearance in Southwark. Now, all medical men agreed , that to whatever cause the breaking out of the cholera was to be attributed, it was very much aggravated by the effluvia that issued from dead bodies in the churches and churchyards of a populous city. Many distinguished Members of Parliamen t had seen the almost total necessity of prohibiting burying is cities and towns, but how could they ask for such a mes• sure, before they had provided other places for burying . ;, let them provide other means of sepulture, and then they cons' with confidence urge such a measure on the legislature, because it would be a means of securing the public health. Mr. BUCKINGHAM seconded the motion with pleasure , The subject was one of very deep and general importance -- he saw many advantages that would result from the prO' posed plan being carried into effect, and unlike many othet schemes, he did not see one evil that would spring from it• The first benefit would be the great advantage it would be to the health of the living community. The immense extension of London itself was a call, and a strong one, upon them to bury their dead out of the limits of the city. At present even thing connected with the dead was calculated to excite feelings ° I disgust, for the graves were so huddled together, and the places were in such crowded neighbourhoods, that all that grave and reverend feeling which was excited by the recollection s of the dead was put to flight.--(Hear, hear.) It raliii 4 be, and would be, made by the proposed plan, a place fO r indulging the most pleasing and soothing feelings. 1 ° the East, though the Mahommedans were much behind us in arts and civilization, they were centuries before us i° the disposal of their dead, as shown by their beautifully °ring mented cemeteries, which were all outside of their cities, and to which they weekly repaired to deck the grave; of their res' tives with flowers. Such a cemetry as the one propem would rouse feelings of virtue and bravery in the hearts_ mankind, as Lord Nelson said on the eve of one of his brated battles, " Glory, or Westminster Abbey ;" but was the Abbey, where all were crowded together, compared to the cemetery which it was proposed to estab►. He strongly supported it, because it would create feelings veneration in the living, and promote the health of community. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously Mr. Parriormw proposed the second resolution. He that the proposed site of the Cemetery extended to eig acres, but the Company were offered more ground if th, quired it. Sir ROBERT SYDNEY seconded the resolution, whicl passed unanimously.- Mr. ANDERTON moved the third resolution, which was to the effect that 30,0001. be raised in shares of 101. each, and observed that small as the sum appeared, he had no doubt , since that was Mr. Goodwin's calculation, that would be sub' cient to erect the wall of the cemetery, purchase the ground' and build the two chapels and other buildings they should re' quire. Mr. COOK seconded the resolution. Agreed to. Mr. FLORANCK moved the fourth resolution, which, bola been seconded, was agreed to. Mr. W. JERDAN moved the fifth resolution, appointing g r : Goodwin architect to the Company, and observed, that that gentleman as the originat or o f t h e i dea, was certa i n ly the person most fitted to carry it into effect. Mr. RossoN, in seconding the resolution, regretted that Of House of Commons had come to the resolution of not having a new building, and hoped th a t w h en i t was resolved to build one, Mr. Goodwin's plan would be adopted, for, without wil o ing to depreciate other plans laid before the Committee of the House, he appealed to the Hon. Member for Sheffield whethel that presented by Mr. Goodwin did not display eminent talent Xn A 6 unite all the requisites for drawing something like beauty a n : order out of the chaotic mass which now composed the buildillP called the House of Commons.—(Hear.) Mr. BUCKINGHAM, in moving the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, bore testimony to the excellence of fi r ' Goodwin's plan for the new House of Commons. The rooti u ; for a new House was only defeated by Ministers owing to lateness of the hour at which it was brought forward. 0 must, however, succeed next year, and he thought tb.. chances in favour of Mr. Goodwin's plan being adopted ninet ee : out of twenty.—(Hear.) The motion having been second' Mr. MARTIN, in returning thanks, said, that he had 0 4 object so much at heart that he would present the Comp ; with as much marble as might be required for forming tb principal entrance to the cemetery,—(Hear, hear.) The meeting then separated. CHRIST CHURCH, JULY 22.—. The con te sl being closed, and the attempt to make a church-ra te defeated a second time by a majority of 186, the opponent° of that measure, while they congratulate their fell'' parishioners on the result, are anxious their motives s hook' not be misrepresented or misinterpreted, as hitherto been the case : " they are not enemies to the churcb,---th el e are not averse to all religious institutions," but they s i t men who entertain a strong and deep•rooted opinion, O a , no man should be compelled to pay towards the supe ' of any religious institution to whose tenets he cannot O n scientiously subscribe. They regret exceedingly that t i ; ill judged zeal of the other party should have led thew reject the offer made by them to enter into a vo lunt-1 contribution, and would now, in the spirit of Christ's, / charity, appeal to the discomfited, and say unto thew , sincerely anxious to support the church upon equitable O s just prineipies, commence a subscription now, arno42, yourselves, and, though unwilling to contribute by a Or d pulsory payment, the spirit of liberality will yet ab";, forth amongst them, and they will endeavour to set example worthy of imitation in the surrounding parisfr j by liberally contributing to the same.
