oil 'b. eit aere the land was a 183. per acre, the effect of this ae would he to i mpose upon that land in its depreciated State a tithe commutation equal to half the rental. Lord J. RUSSELL was of opinion that no plan for the commutation of tithes could be devised which was not open to so me objecti on , and unless they took a proportion of the rent, b e : 6 , 6 believed scarcely an y gen tl eman i n th a t H ouse wou ld inclined to acquiesce in, be did not see how the difficulty was to be overcome. If, on the one hand, land might become depreciated, it should also he remembered that other lands would afiva, I‘ ric . e in value. to E. NA TC LIB ULL thought the plan pr o p ose d o p en serious objections. There was another clause in the Bill relatin g to hops, to which he had, as well as to this, a some ;hiat simil ar o b jection to that expressed by the Hon. Member. the Hun. Ba ronet move d an amen d ment, to t h e e ff ect that e valuers in taking the seven years' average, shoed have re gard to the production, nature, and quality of the soil. After a f ew words rom Mr. Biarnire, Mr. Plumptre, Sir W rotte3lev, Mr. Mills, and Mr. Leonard, w iA lr. C. 13 13LLER complained that the Hon. Gentlemen ° had spoke up on t h equest i on h a d not con fi ne d t h emse l ves toh the matter b e f ore t h e C omm i ttee , b ut h a d wan d ere d i nto tl,ie general questio n o f p r i nc i p l e . F or hi 3 part h e was con - Need th at t i thes could be commuted fairly on no other prin ciple than that contained in the 33d clause, and only regretted wer e the 34th c l ause was so i ncons i stent w i t h i t . Th ese c l auses 'cre in fact incompatible. He should support the former, as founded on a just principle of commutation, and decidedly op pose the latter, as based on a vicious principle, which would destroy th e e ff ect of the other. He strongly censured the use 9 f s uch ambiguous and incomprehensible language as appeared in the construction of these clauses, where changes were made On such phrases as " real productive value," " aggregate value,” till a perfect confusion of ideas were created. Ne b e li eved that his Learned brethren were the only persons ' l ke!) , to profit by the perusal of these clauses, every word of which would afford them opportunity of earning golden opi aloos on their probable import.—( Laughter. ) Mr. WARAURTON said Unit he did not understand the the of th e o bj ec ti on o f t h e H on . M em b er f or Li s k ear d to 4 n5 34th clause, which went to appoint a Court of Appeal to review the decision of the Commissioners in certain cases W here excessive awards were made by the latter. The real difficulty consisted in appropriating the a -gregate sum among in dividuals. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the time for discussing the 14th clause had not arrived. The 33d was consistent through out, and the Hon. Member for Liskeard had admitted that the P r inciple upon which the mode of estimating the value of land contained therein was correct. There was no necessity, there fore, of embarrassing it by the verbal amendments proposed, and which properly related to another clause, and which, ;then brought forward in their proper place, he would give his Deg consideration to. Mr. DENISON concurre d i n t h e o b serva ti ons o f t h e N o bl e Lord. I , Mr. G OULBURN could not agree to the amendment of "Ls Hon. Friend, on the conviction that the actual value would be best obtained by taking the actual receipts for tie basis. Mr. G ROTE disagreed with the last Speaker, and declared i S intention of supporting the amendment. .„ Mr. DENISON conteudad that the proposition of the 2 tight lion. Baronet was assentially unjust. After a few words from Mr. EsTcovaT and Mr. BLAMIRE, the House divided on the Amendment, and the numbers were, Ayes Noes 111 Majority Oa our re-admission into the gallery, %Mr. PARROTT proposed, as an amendment to the clause, at, after the rent charge shall be permanently formed, a de. netion of t e n per cent shall be made from it in favour of the lendlord. Lord J. RUSSELL opposed the Amendment on the ground t hat it was at variance with the principle of the Bill. The Amendment was negatived without a division. a.Alr. PARROTT said he would take another opportunity of Iv iding the Committee upon the question, and propose, as i',F,gested by the Member for Middlesex, that the reduction be °I. in place of 10/. per cent. d add r. RICHARDS proposed that the following words be e to clause 33 : Provided always, and be it enacted, that in case any part at th e l an d s i n t h e par i s h s h a ll at any t i me b e b ro k en up , an d 2e surface destroyed, and rendered unproductive, by the Peratious of raising and getting coals, ironstone, and other mi nes and minerals, or for the erection of any works for con v,erting the same, that the rent charge imposed as hereinbefore rrovided, s h a ll, on th e b rea ki ng u p o r co v ering of the surface e such land as aforesaid, abate in the proportion of the extent "` land so rendered unproductive, and that such rent charge 811311 accrue only on such land being again restored and "'ought into cultivation." Lord J. RUSSELL said he was not aware that, with the "eeption of Staffordshire, there was any part of the country ' W hich would derive much benefit from the proposed amend blent. It was not of sufficient importance to induce the Com 3aittee to infringe on the principle of the Bill. After a few words from Mr. Ilawkes, Mr. Warburton, and °lle or two other Hon. Members, the Gallery was cleared for a division, when there appeared— 54 171 ..--117 Ayes . •• • Noes., Majority Clause 33 passed. Clause 34 was put. E.

The House resumed.

On the motion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. The first and second clauses having been disposed of, On the third clause being proposed, After some observations from the Bishop of LONDON the Earl of RADNOR, Lord WYNFORD said there were several propositions which he wished to submit to their Lordships. By the Bill, as it at present stood, no clergyman was allowed to hold tw.,• benefices that were distant from each other above ten miles. Now he could see no reason for that restriction ; and his first proposition would be thAt instead of ten the distance should be fixed at forty—five miles. It could not be contended th:.t the duties might not be as effectually performed at a distance of forty-five as of ten miles ; for the only function which ir: either case would be executed would he that of controul and superintendence over the. Curate, which might be discharged as well in the one case as the other. His other propositim, regarded the provision which fixed 6001. as the amount of in come which was to incapacitate an incumbent from holding. two livings. He need not point out to their Lordships with what peculiar hardship that enactment would fall upon those whose income slightly ex weced that limit, and who would .thereby be prevented from acquiring any increase of income ; whilst others, whose first living was within the required limit, would have the power of increasing it far beyond the amount of 600. The Duke of RICHMOND trusted thit the Right Rev. Prelate would not consent to the amendment just proposed by the Noble Lord (Wynford). It appeared to him an extraor dinary proposition that the duties of a living situated at the distance of 45 miles from the residence of the incumbent could be so effectually performed as those of a living only distant ten miles. He was confident the Noble Lord must have been thinking of the railroads at the time—( Laughter)—when he made at that assertion ; for a railroad between the two livings most assuredly would be necessary if 45 miles was to be the distance fixed upon. Lard OXFORD- opposed the amendment. The Earl of RIPON also objected to the proposal of the Noble Lord (Wynford). He for one was not willing that the clergy of England should be subject to be thrown off a rail road whilst on a visit of charity two or three times every week. —( Hear, and laughter.) _ _ _ Lord WYNFORD . explained. This was an attempt to abolish pluralities entirely by a side wind. He had no objec tion to the entire abolition of pluralities—that might be a very excellent measure; but then the Legislature should carry it into effect in a direct and intelligible manner. The Bishop of LONDON denied that this was any indi rect attempt. They all agreed as to the expediency of plura lities, were it practicable ; but, as they considered that imprac ticable, they had taken the next best step, and restricted them to the utmost extent; and, by restricting pluralities, it should be remembered, they were holding out an inducement to patrons to augment their benefices.—(Hear.) - After a fevv obseivations from LOrd ASHBURTON in opposition to the amendment. - The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that in the pre sent measure they had endeavoured as nearly as possible to comply with the requisition of the canon law, which prohi bited pluralities altogether. The Noble Lord (Lord Wyn ford) had argued with confidence that the restriction to ten miles was equivalent to a total abolition of pluralities. Now he denied that, because there were many parts of England par ticularly in the south, where several livings were planted within the distance of ten miles. Lord WYNFORD said that after what had fallen from the Most Rev. Prelate he should withdraw his amendment ; and he felt it due to that Most Rev. Prelate to state that, in re ference to the limit of ten miles, he had been convinced by the statement of that Most Rev. Prelate. He came not there to argue for victories, but to be convinced. After some further observations from the ArcLbishop of CANTERBURY and the Earl of RADNOR, The Bishop of EXETER said . that, however popular it might be to do away with plurelitics, he protested against the limitation of ten miles proposed by the Bill. He thought that pluralities must be endured, and regretted to see any at tempt made to put an end to them in deference to the feelings of the country, however strong they might be on the subject. If the Bill were carried to the extent proposed, it would be impossible to give probationary employment to the Clergy. After a few observations from the Bishop of LONDON and the Marquis of }RITE, The Earl of H ARROWBY said that some parishes were not populous enough to require a Clergyman. Generally speaking the emoluments were in the inverse ratio to the duties, and it was only by a system of pluralities they could maintain the Church in the state in which it ought to be. The possibility of abstracting a shilling from the Church could enter the mind of no one who had thought on the subject, un less with a view of destroying the Church. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY reminded their Lordships that there were other parties to the passing of this Bill, and its failure would be unfortunate. _ The Bishop of ROCHESTER moved that twenty miles should be substituted for ten miles. The amendment was put, and strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 4 being put, an amendment was proposed, to the effect that no spiritual person should hold two benefices who had a cure of souls where the united value of the two livings exceeded 1,0001. per annum. After some observations from Lord Ashburton, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Harrowby, their Lordships divided, when there appeared— Contentg Non-contents . 29 Majority in faavour of the clause and against the amendment The several succeeding clauses to clause 8, were, after some verbal amendments had been made in them, agreed to. Clause 9 was agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed. The Bishop of LLANDAFF moved a proviso, to the effect that chapels of ease be united to the Mother Church, and made one benefice, where occasion required. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY thought the propo sition bad better be the subject of future consideration—that it had better be left as a separate provision at a future stage. After a short conversation the clause was ultimately a.Teed to, * Clauses 11 to 15 were also tweed to ; as also was clause 16, with an amendment. The remaining clauses were then agreed to. The House resumed, the report was received, and ordered to be considered on Friday. The House then adjourned to Friday next. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILI,.

The Committee met yesterday at twelve o'clock. The parties beiror equal at the adjournment on Monday, Com,sel on behalf of Mr. O'Connell proceeded this morning with their scrutiny, and objected to the vote of Christopher Dempsey on account of corrupt practices and bribery at the election. The evidence in this case was placed upon the rejected sheet by the Commissioners in Dublin, on the ground of the witness, who was the voter himself, having made an affidavit of the circumstances some time before the period of his examina tion, to which he subsequently deposed. Mr. AusTEN :argued at considerable length, contending that the fact of an affidavit having been read did not warrant the Commissioners in the course they had taken. It was in point of fact nothing- more than the communication between the agents and witnesses in a case, so that they might be pre pared at the trial. There was no variance in the swearing of the is itnesses before the Commissioners and what he stated in his affidavit, and that affidavit was not user, fur the purpose of refre:hing the witness's recollection. He .00ntended that the Commissioners were not justified by any principle of law in rejecting the evidence. Mr. THE3SIGER replied. The Committee decided that the evidence should be re ceived, but they would require strong corroborative testimony. Mr. IlurroN proceeded to r. ad Dempsey's evidence, from which it appyared that early in the election week he had been met in the street by a m:ut named IL!id, who told him to coma ith him, and vote for West and Hamilton, holdini , up three fingers, by which the witness understood that he would be paid 31. He voted accordingly. WitANOll A M observed that id had not been examined by the sitting Members. Mr. Mummy, --Because he kept out of the way, and could never be found. Mr. AUSTEN then proposed to read a man named Armstrong's evidence, fir the. purpose of showing that he had been bribed by Reid. WRANGIIAM objected to this evidence being read, as it relived to the c 74 of Reid, not that of Dempsey. Mr. AusrEN-The object is to prove that Reid bribed ano ther vote. Mr. HUTTON—And that the circumstances under which Reid was proved to have bribed Armstrong were, very simil r to those alleged by Dempsey ; in short, to show what was "the nature of Reid's emplo3 meat during the election. Mr. YOUNG—The point is hat whoilwr Reid gave a bribe, laic v.beiher this mail ►`eceived one. The room wat!'thou cleared, and in about five minutes the Committee came to the following resolution :—" That it ap pears to the Committee that no corroboration of the testimony of Christopher Dempsey having been adduced, his name must remain on the poll." Mr. AusTr, then said that, hi consequence of this deci sion, he would not press the evidence in Armstrong's case, HLich (with reference to the affidavit) was similar to the last. Tho Chairman having a motion to make at the sitting of the 11Jus. , , the Committee adjourned at three o'clock until eleven o'clock this day. The petitioners and sitting Member are upon an equality with tegard to the poll.. SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTEII.ED INWARDS AT THE CUS TOM-HOUSE, MAY 9.

Reid and Philip Castel Sherard carried on business in 1810 as West India merchants, under an agreement by which the partnership was to last for seven years, determin able on any Ist of May which should first happen after the death of either of the partners the a:counts to be made up mid the stock valued to that day. In 1811 the part aership, through George Reid, who married one of the dlng,hters of Sir Charles Oakeley, Bart., applied to Sir Ch.-Ales for a loan of 10,000/., aid he accepted in July, 1811, for their use, four hills of exchange for 2,500/. each, payable at three and six months' date. To secure the repaymmt of these bills, four joint anti several bonds in the penal-sum of 6,000/. each were given by Reid and Sherard to Sir Charles, with the condition that as tr, two of such bonds, if the obligators «hotild pay on or before the 15th Oc tober, 1817, and as to the two other bonds,, on or before the 15th January, 1818, all such sums of tummy as the said Sir Charles Oakeley, his executors, &0,, might have paid on ac count of such bills. The Rills were regularly paid. She rard died in 1814, and appointed the respondent anti other • persons executrix and executors of his will. On the Ist May, 1815, the partnership, by force of the above-recited articles, terminated. About that time Reid entered into partnership with Roger Kynasten, another son-in-law of Sir Charles Oakeley. Several other arrangements were made among the parties, one of which consisted of articles of agreement among the executors and the parties, and, in 1817, Sir Charles Oakeley consented to allow the sum of 10,090/. to continue three years beyond the period origi nally stipulated for their payment, Sir C. Oakeley having been previously informed that the new firm of Reid and Co. had assumed the debt of 10,000/. secured by the four bonds. Sir Chides was no party to any arrangetueat for such a purpose. For the purpose of family arrangement, Sir C. Oakeley, on the sth of September, 1826, assigned the bonds to the appellant, and died two days afterwards, hay ing appointed the appellant and Mr, Hinckley his execu tors, George Reid died in Jamaica, in January, 1827. In May, 1827, Mr. Hinckley wrote to the executor of Mr. Sherrard, announcing that Mr. Reid was dead ; that as long as Mr. Reid had lived the interest on the bonds had been duly paid, and, therefore, no 'claim had been made on the executor of Mr. Sherrard ; but, in consequence of the death of Mr. Reid, the executors of Sir Charles Oakeley had doomed it neeessary to apprise the executor of Mr. Sherrard of his liability. No notice was taken of this letter till 189, and in the meantime Kyuaston, the surviving partner of Reid, regularly paid the i n t eres t. Proceedings were afterwards taken in Chancery, and the executor of Mr. Siterrard contended that i.is testator's estate was dis charged, by the conduct of Sir Charles Oakeley and his executors. The Master of the Rolls decreed in accordance with that argument, and Lord Chancellor Brougham con firmed that decree. Mr. WAKEFIELD appoamd for tho appellant, and Mr. PEMBROKE for the roipondent. The judgment was postpow,a, ADMIRALTY COURT--TUESDA Y. THE SEAL-SALVAGE. Tiiiß was a claim for salvage. The Seal, proceeding on a vom, from Poole to Londim with a cargo of oil, an chored on the- 19th of December off Hastings, and was sho: tly after blown to sea ; having lost her anchor, she put back to Cowes for a new one, where, being unable to steer into harbour, a signal was hoisted, and the alleged salvors came out in a four-oared boat, with a pilot, and succeeded in getting her through the harbour into a position of salky in Newport River. The property was valued at 1,8001. A tender of 5/. had been made and rejected, and a demand made f 2s/. Sir JoiiN Nwitou, said this was a mere question as to whether the service was pilotage or salvage ; and that was a question of some importanN, because, though the Court was disposed to reward salvors liberally, yet it will hound to repress every attempt to convert for purposes of extor tion acts of pilotage into those of salvage. Upon the whole case he deemed '251 . an exorbitant sum to ask ; he should pronounce the tender sufficient, and condemn the party in all the costs from the time of their refusal of the tender. THE STEINDROP.-SALVAGI This was a suit for salvage brought by the master and owners of the Ancona against the master and owners of the Steindrop, 244 tons, lor services rendered to the latter whilst on a return voyage from Loudon to Sunderland with 0 .5 tons of general cargo. The Steindrop, having delivered it cargo of eoals at London, left that port on the 14th of February last, and,.having met with very rough weather, was, .at the 18th of February, off Flamborough Head, near the mouth of the number, having sprung a leaf., and hoisted a signal of distress from the foretop gallant mast ; the. salvors Came oat az,a, having boarded the brig, lent their W.''tanoe at the pumps. which it was necessary to keep constantly worked, and with their aid, the .vessel got in safety into Ilarwieh harbour, front whence she arrived at Sundo.land on the 2d of March. Sir JOHN Nlctinu. was clearly of opin;on that the v2ssel had been rescued from groat danger, and considerad, there fore, the tender made of 90/. insufficient ; out of 2, 501) /- the value of the p . rop , rtv, he should allow the salvors 2.30/ . and their costs. ••• t,. ~ .v i CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
