. .--- REFORM of the ENGLISH (Front I'Velter Savage Loudon's Letters.) Does any one believe that all the English and Irish a, Welsh bishops, in a body, have more Christianity, more wis dom, more knrwledge of theology, more eloquence to en force it, than Robert Hall ? It it as his oninion—it was also Alilton's—(and other teen equaly wise and pious have assen ted to it)—that the union of Church and State is injurious, not only to civil liberty, but to pure religion. Men varying far asunder in theological creeds, have agreed in this, and have shrunk with horror from that pride, wealth, and stateli... mess, in the Ministers of Christ, which he himself was the first to prohibit and condemn. " I ant writing now within sight of the city in which Robert Hall-was preacher ; and a newspaper is lying on my table re commending to our charity the Irish Clergy of the English Establishment. Hall and Milton were much nearer to starva ticin than Irish parsons are : and one of them was kept from e t a rvieg, not bv tithes, although a clergyman, but by the voluntary contributions of those whom be instructed. When the Irish parsons (sent over from England) are as diligent in their datios Is Robert Hall, Irel and is not the country for their starvati.:n. But they must occupy less of their leisure cri.stiog bullets for the murder of their parishioners ; they rnlst consign the musket, the bayonet, the pistol, the cutlass, u ,Nons eerated hands; and even the bravest, the proudest, a nd m at ambitious of them, must be ce.ntented with as little pay and a 5 little fighting as Rear-Admirals." • • 11 ' A l a dy i n tc:e. c ountry was turning over the dries roses in her dragon jar, tier own maid entered the room , with a salt-cellar in one hams,and a teacupful of clove; in the other , ad the floral mummy. This dia to ensure the preservation logue ensued— ', Well, ma'am ! true enou t , is, that my Lord Bishop is to be put on board wages. He have in future but a hundred pounds a month, which, Goa ' knon:,s, is only twenty_ five a week. There are some of their own . cloth (shame upon 'ern) who have no bowels' for the bishops. O. 6141 be was old enough to know better, said on the occasion— " Seven years hence it will appear far stranger, a reduction to such a sum should have been consi dered as a Itar2- ship, when my Lords tell us that the clergy in Ireland are dying of hunger, and even obliged to water the garden. A" He went on, ma'am, worse than that : he said, Of what sercice are deans, canons, prebendaries, and precentors? The Church of England is composed of bishop, priest, and deacon.' " < I Think, ma'am, he counted wrong : there is clerk, sex ton, and ringers. We could not do without them : I know nothing about !.hose others; we have done without them pretty well, in these paro ;• and belike they may do as well in others. But to strip a bishop' I There will be nothing in his noble park but nasty bulls and cows. Cook says his haunches are the finest she ever laid hard upon. Twelve hundred a-year indeed ! Why, ma'am, what with poor, and gamekeeper, and school, and hot-house, I should not wonder if we spend all that here at the Hall. And my lord bishop has four houses to keep up. There is palace, there is London-house, there is Parliament-house, there is Opera-house for the ladies. No, it can't be done, ma'am, nohow; and those who say it can must be wild, little better than quakers and radicals. Lord help ',lrri ! they don't know how money goes. Ma'am, they begin with the bishops; when they have plucked them, they will pluck its. I should like to know where is the end on't. We can stop 'em, Midford, we can stop 'em, take my word for it, be they ever so wilful. " ' I don't know, ma'am. My lord bishop told 'squire Eaglethorpe he wished he, being a country gentlemen, a county member, would make a motive about it. 'Squire said, " My lord bishop, they are a kennel of wiry-haired hard bitten curs I have no mind to meddle or make with 'em.' " Then,' said his Lordship, cu will see your organ sent to the ale-house ; and your servants will have to sing hymns for it, like the Westphalians.' " We are next parish, ma'am. Cook, housekeeper, Bess Cockermouth I sing in church ! and hymns too ! Well, as I hope to be saved, that is funny ! Why, they have noia couple of teeth, dog's or double, between all three ! Lord J—t ask pardon !' " Another instance of natural cow-pox was discovered last week in the neighbourhood of Paris, by M. Charles Gan lard and M. Fiard. It was found upon 16 cows, and four females, who had milked them. The fact was examined by a Committee of the Institute, Drs. Magendie, Double, Breschet, and Hazard, whose opinions were decisive as to the nature of the eruption. Another instance has been also ascertained at the Themes, by M. Dupuy, Member of tho Academie de Mit decine, on some cows which came from the neighbourhood of Chartres ; and a letter from Chartres announces that the cow pox has been likewise discovered there, and inoculations made from it with perfect success. Ott Wednesday last, several gentlemen having gone aboard a London smack, in order to accompany one of their friends, who was a passenger, to the Roads, they went down below to regale themselves with a parting glass. A smart breeze having, however, sprung up in the interval, the vessel set sail, and - before the party had become aware of their si tuation they were nearly opposite Prestonpans, and sailing at the rate of 10i knots an hour. Of course they were consi derably startled, and anxiously requested the Captain to set thent ashore, when he informed them that their first landing place would be in the Thames. As may be well supposed, this was C Do comfortable tidings. However, the aptain, moved by tbeir solicitations, especially as one of them was a bridegroom was to be married on the following day, lay to at Aberlady, and also at North Berwick, hosting a signal for a boat at each of those places, but without success. At length they reaches' Dunbar, where the party were landed with considerable difficulty, and the adventure ending by post ing direct to Edinburgli.--.Caledonian Mercury. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday, as a train of carriages, the first class train, was approaching Manchester front Liverpool, at a quick speed, supposed at the rate of thirty miles an hour, when, on the high embankment between Winton and Chat-moss, an axis of the first carriage suddenly snapped asunder. From the great speed the carriages were moving at, and the collision produced by the brea kin g of the axis, the consequence was that the engine carriage, as well as all the other carriages, with the exception of two, were cap sized, and thrown down the embankment, which is about 20 feet high. It is very fortunate that no one was severely in jured, except one lady, who was much lacerated. The alarm waa beyond description ; passengers were necessarily turned topsy-turvey, and thrown upon one another, and without the least chance for some time of being extricated from the vehi cles. Numbers were slightly cutand otheinvise injured, in at tempting prematurely to get out. There were 120 passengers. THE BALLOT.—A public meeting of the inhabi tants of the town and borough of Lewes was held on Monday evening the 18th instant, at the Crown Inn, to take into ccn sideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to enact a law that henceforward all elections for members of Parliament be taken by ballot. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock the following melancholy and extraordinary occurrence took place at Nc. 31, Islington-green, the residence of Mr. Wil Liam Wilmott, who had for some time past been labouring under an aberration of mind, but not to such an extent that any fears were entertained for his safety. The bed-room he occu. pied was the back second floor, from which a door opened ;to a leaden flat, the height of which is 33 feet from the ground , from which he jumped into the back area, but, extraordinary to state, did not in the least injure himself, arid immediately ran tip stairs, and instantly precipitated himself head foremost from the same F put. when he received a dreadful concussion of the brain, besides having his head severely fractured. The poor maniac was immediately conveyed to the hospital, where every possible surgical assistance was rendered him, but he lies with out hopes of recovery. On Wednesday nn inquest was' held at the Bell and Horns, Highgate, on Mrs. Sarah - Pointer, the landlady, who put a period to her existence, under the following circum stances :—The deceased was a widow, and had kept the house between two and three months. She had lately manifested symptoms of despondency, and complained bitterly that the business did not realize her expectations. Sunday morning, during divine service, she retired to her bedroom, and her daughter, on going up stairs to call her to dinner, found her hanging by the Led. post. A medical man was promptly called in, hut she teas dead. The jury returned a yerdiet—Tempo ritry deinigement. Much to the get get of the lovers of ancient rcliques, the newly discovered Roman city gateway, which was recently disclosed by digging near the castle, fell over on Friday, .and became a mass of rubbish. The work-people endeavoured to prop it upright, but the damp caused by being so many centuries buried, had disunited every joint, and the super nbuntiant pressure forced its fall. An iron head of an arrow, bent and blunted no doubt by having been shot against the wall, was picked up, as also several Roman coins.—Lincoln Gazelle. Steeple chasing is now so fashionable that two ladies, one the wife of a field effieer of a regiment in Dublin, rode one those break-neck races near the Curragh, on Monday. In'sh• Paper. At tiie Taunton Assizes, a few days ago, a country man, who was put into the witness-box. to give a prisoner the benefit of his evidence as to character, en being asked by the Counsel whether he ever knew any harm of the prisoner at the Ear, replied, " That he never knew much harm of him, only that he was given to thieving a little." '[lie Counsel indig_ windy inquired whether the prisoner had ever stolen from him, when the witness to character answered, " Never more than one' eor twice, I believe. B, Journal.

The publicatio t n 10 of T mi ux g u m NEW commenced this day ta Three o' Clock. 4cc?„, (77r , f k kL i ))ell, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1836. Sir ANDREW. AGNEW'S Bill—or Bills, for he seems to have as many as a Bill-broker—for the better en forcement of Sunday starvation and hypocrisy, was discussed last night in the House of Commons, when a majority of 118 decided in favour of the principle of the Hon. Baronet's measure, though without pledging themselves to support the details in Committee. Sir OS WA LD MOSELEY seconded the motion, on the plea that he had " a religious duty to perform"—just as if his constituents sent him into the House, for the purpose of making a Pharisaical parade of his superior piety ! Out on such irrelevant twaddle ! The Church, not the House of Commons, is the proper place for the dis charge of a " religious duty." But granting the force of the Hon. Baronet's argument, is it, let us ask, discharging a 4 religious duty," to pass by the Sunday amusements of the rich, and fall with a crushing hand on those of the poor ? To in sult and vilify the one, and give all possible laud to the morals of the other ? To point the finger of scorn at LAZARUS, and hold out the right band of friend ship to Dives ? To denounce the baker's oven, and tolerate the Club kitchen ? To shut up the operative's tea-I, , ardens, and leave wide open the gentleman's Zoo logical-gardens ? To oppress poverty, because it is weak, and flatter wealth because it is powerful ? Fie, fie, Sir OsIvALD MoslinEY ! If this be VOW' sense of justice—this your notion of " a religious duty"— the sooner you reform your ideas on the subject, the better. As for the Hon. Baronet's allusion to " the disgusting scenes" that take place on the Sabbath, it is sheer cant and humbug. Thee is not in any country in Europe, a religious day of rest observed with so much decent propriety as is the Sunday in England, by those very classes whom Saint AGNEW is so zealous to annoy. If it be desecrated by any order in society, it is by the higher, who, after they have attended the Morning Service, as a mere cold matter of etiquette, necessary to the maintenance of their respectability, roll off in their carriages to pay visits to their fashionable acquaintances, where the talk is, not of the sermon they have just heard, but of the Saturday night's Opera ; which favourite theme of Sunday gossip exhausted, away they go the Park, there to parade their carriages, horses, and their own gay attire, before the eyes of an admiring public ; while the day is wound up by a dinner party, at which, he whO should propose prayers, or the reading of a sermon, would be voted a bore of the first water. I', we :cpeat, the Sabbath is any where desecrated, it is by this class, and this only, that it is so. The poor uniformly treat it with reverence. With them it is literally, what the Church intended it should b e , a d ay o f repose from the toils and cares of the week. Who that has seen, as we have seen a thousand times—and felt our hearts leap at the sight —die poor, over-wrought operative, 'cedilla children into the greet; fields, toot they may enjoy the N t ‘ o , at e c s l c l a cc p l e tl f l o e r a happy fe, air and sunshine of heaven and forth his faces of the young ones, dei;ghted hours from the stifling heat of - a crowded lane or alley— who that has seen this delightful, humanizing spectacle, and afterwards watched the innocent merry -makers, taking a short rest at• the village ale-house, or the still more welcome tea-gardens, but must scorn and would put an end to t hi s repudiate THE SUN, LONDON, Jecorous holiday, on the plea that he is performing a " religions duty ?" There is far too much fanaticism in the world, and h e i s t h e most truly devout who does his best to put an end to it. Because Sir AN DREW AGNEW is a Saint, " shall there be no more cakes mid ale ?" Because Sir OswALD MOSELEY is another, shall a grim face be the rule, and a gay one the exception, on the Sabbath ? In the name of jus tice--of common sense—of humanity—we protest against such doctrine. As you leave the rich, so, we say, leave the poor, to spend the Sunday after their own fashion. You cannot make them religious by Actof Parliament. The utm os t y ou can do by such unwise legislation, is to turn the frank, contented, well natured peasant or mechanic, into the sly, sour, jaun diced hypocrite--an experiment .than which we can !alaryine uorie morc. , detrimental to society ; for from discontent to rebellion is but a step, thoughit ri i i - qt he !I lonP one : and when by your vexatious Mills of Pains audTenalties against them, you have alienated the affections and lost the confidence of the poorer cloy es, whp r t fAer result can von eNpect than goneral distrust, restjessness, and aiipreheil t sion Put the House of Commons, we trust ; will nem allow .

Even Mr, (. - -/cONNM , who might be supposed to feel as lively an interest in the peffpti - once as any spectator could do, was so disgusted that he left Ow House before it was half over, W wArKIPF what does Mr. 1141 - my really pre,. pose to himself by the course which he has atlopted, and which he pursues with spelt 410 pitate eagerness? Is it indeed possihlp that he is labouring to pave the way for a motion, declaring Mr. O'CoNNELL diSqUaIWP4 fA represent the Commons of these kingdoms in the British Parliament If so, we can have but one objection to such a display of Conserva.tlye sagacity ; and that is ,-,1.1te time which 'Par liament will he obliged to waste miposing the ec treme folly of the leachers of that desperate and doonied faction. _ _ _ nut the Conservative Orptifi, are shifling their ground of attaek, Mr, (YUCINN.E4-114, as it is sagely discovered by the Times of this morning, is but an accident in this important transaction, This is rather a navel discovery ; for it is not more than three weeks since OW ITY4Pit4l§ And most consistent Contemporary published the last of seventy-four ilitteles, each more than a column in length, the burden of which went to charge Mr. O'Cozoinie , :rrin his capacity of a Mem, ber of the House of Conninous—...with pecz4niar cor ruption / This obar‘ , e was proved. to the satisfnetion of a Committee of the House of Commons to be wholly false, as well as every other imputing erhnilla , lity in act or intention to Mr, O'CONNUI,I4, Tho Conservatives thus beaten on the personal question, take refuge under the gourd of Constitutional principle. Thus concludes the Times of this morning ; " Let us once two impress upon the country the real nature of the question before the House, The conduct of Mr, O'cennell in the affair is a matter of comparative insignifi cance, The nature of the transaction is the main thing, and that consists in a contract for the sale of a seat for an Irish county to a stranger, a v agabond," as Mr. O'Connell says, for the sum of 2,0001., whereas the legal expenses of the election did not cost 8001., and might have been defrayed for soot., and in the illegal appropriation of the surplus in bribing electors, and paying the expenses of a by-gone election. This, and nothing ohe, Is the transaction winch the House is called upon to sanction or to censure." Mark the nice distinctions which ConservatiVes make in all questions of principle—the exquisite tact with which the learned folks of Printing-house,square place every point where it may best harmonize with the whole. Remember, too, that the question at issue is one of pure principle. Mr. O'CONNELL, in the course of the debate, had happened to make an awk ward allusion to Pomfret—a borough with which Mr. HARDY has had more to do than redounds much to his credit. The Time; saw this at a glance, and at once affixed . the crime of Parliamentary jobbing in seats, to the sale of Irish Counties. "Mark that, good Master Shallow"—lrish counties ; not English bo roughs. Next, the alleged purchaser was a " stranger." This is rather a serious part of the question, when we come to discuss it constitutionally. By an Oct passed in the ninth year of the reign of HENRY IV., $ 1 strangers" are declared ineligible to represent the Commons of Eng land in Parliament. 'Tis true the statute does not extend to Ireland but being en English §tatnte it. ;s quite clear that the Times thinks it ought to tie so, Then, again, the " vagabond" is brought forwartl as 4 par t o f - Ole principle. This is the true Conservative mods of dealing with principles. The acts are of far less importance, aftef than the actors. Finally, there comes the grand ingredient of the Tripp of an "Irish county"---nainely, the paltry sum of x,OOOl.

The Post is in raptures because Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted that Mr. O'CONNELL acted imprudently. This proves that the Post has occasionally doubts of its own veracity, nit= it is not quite a month since the said Post , as serted that Mr. O'CONNELL was known to ever ) man in England, to be personally implicated in the peculative part of a pecuniary transletion, mo rally dishonest, and constitutionally dangerous. Now we admit at once, that Mr. O'CONNELL acted very imprudently throughout this affair; and a r noa,iic proved o N N Vl NE himself unworthy isleal a has what is more, he has admitted it himself b o th w i t hi n and without the walls of the House of C ommons ..

This is a prayer in which every one who is anxious to preserve the union between the two countries nn xlle only principle on w hi c h i t can be preserved—an t 3 qual P a T ti NinitlAn ill the rights and privileges of that Constitution which i u common to both—must cordially join. To render it in any way effectual, bowever, it is necessary that the truly patrio tic example thus set by the people of Hull, should be generally followed. The proceedings which have al ready taken place in the Upp er House, with respect to the Bill, indicate pretty plainly what course our RI DAY`, APRIL 22, MM. hereditary legislators mean to pursue, and we fear will purwe, unless a strong demonstration of the public sentiment prevent them. The " pressure from without" Is the only argument that will ever bring conviction to minds cast in the peculiar mould in which those of their Lordships have been fashioned. Public opinion is the popular weapon, and it is a powerful one ; but, like other weapons, it is most powerful when wielded with promptitude. If a blow is to be given it ought to be given at the proper time, as well as in the proper place. Let tl►e people, then, show the Lords in a constitu• tional way—but in the strongest language which that respect, to which hereditary rank and wisdom by descent are of right entitled, will admit of—that it will be a perilous matter for more parties than one, if by any chance this Bill, upon which they have set their minds, because it is founded on the great principle of " doing to others as we would that they should do unto us," do not pass into a law. In pe titioning, threatening, remonstrating—for it is all the same thing in effect, whatever term be adopted for the sake of courtesy—it is singularly appropriate that the reformed Corporations should take the lead. By their energy and zeal in the cause of their Irish htothren, they will give the best proof that they themselves are worthy of the, privileges which they enjoy.
