FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—With that acuteness of perception, and fe licity of phrase, for which its political discussions are distinguishe 1, the Herald yesterday denied the dul ness of Sir V. Blake and others, who are unable to see that " the Irish rebellion" is crushed by the Irish At torney-General ; and who have not foresight enough to discover that " by August all the angry symptoms will have abated ; and before Michaelmas it will be a question whether Mr. O'Connell be dead or living." Now, considering that the law proceedings have not quite terminated; that Mr. Justice Perrin, who is supposed to know something of law, thought that Mr. O'Connell ought to have had a new trial ; that per sons, not of the lowest order either in station or intel lect, openly state that he has not had a fair one ; that the Court of Queen's Bench here, on a similar objec tion as to one point, granted a new trial, without call ing upon the counsel who moved for it to reply ; and that the House of Lo r d s w ill requ i re the a i d of the judges in deciding upon the writ of error ; we submit that the exultation of our Contemporary is (somewhat premature, and that the prediction, so confidently deli vered, is little likely to be fulfilled. We would entreat our Contemporary not to use his giant strength so like a giant. If conscious of triumph, let him not overwhelm the vanquished with a volley of hard words and ugly wishes. Though he be mighty, let him be merciful. Sir V. Blake is asked--" Whether he ever met any Al ember of any Irish or British Government, Whig or Tory, Radical or Conservative, of the last thirty years, who did not, from the bottom of his heart, wish that Mr. Daniel O'Connell was hanged, or transported, or imprisoned, or otherwise put out of the way, according to his deserts ? Assuming that Sir Valentine answers by an unqualified and empha tical never, we apply the same question with a trifling variation. Has Sir Valentine Blake, within the last thirty years, met with any Irish nobleman or gen tleman, merchant, tracer, farmer, or artisan above the very lowest rank—whether Protestant or Roman Catholic —any one, in short, but a priest or mere creature in the savage state, who would not, in his secret heart, most cordially echo the wish that Mr. D. O'Connell might be hanged, transported, imprisoned, or otherwise put out of the way in some manner, according to his merits ?" A few years ago, " aliens in blood, language, and religion," was thought a strong expression. " Savages" is a step beyond "aliens." What, Sir V. Blake's powers of penetrating to the " secret hearts" of his countrymen may be, we do not know. But we can assure our Contemporary that many persons not re puted "savages," of various " ranks, from "noblemen" to " artisans, have never expressed any such " wishes." We submit that it is not consists nt with either good manners or prudence, when so many have expressed exactly the contrary, to impute to them hypocrisy, which cannot be proved. In England, readiness to part with one's money is generally held to be proof of sincerity ; and the possession of money, though not a proof of civilisation, shows that its owners are not of " the lowest rank." These " mere creatures in the sa vage state " sent in two thousand five hundred and ninety-six pounds to the last week's repeal rent. Theb ar of a nation is not generally taken from " the very lowest rank ;" and yet when Mr. O'Connell appeared on the floor of the Court to re ceive judgment, a large majority of the bar ruse and cheered vehemently. The Peers of a nation are surely not of " the lowest rank ;" yet the names of several Peers will be found in the list of subscribers to the repeal rent. The world will require some stronger evidence than has yet been given of the Herald's skill in reading" secret hearts," before it will believe that nine tenths of a nation are combined to do honour and pay money to a man whom " all but priests and savages" wish to be hanged or " otherwise put out of the way." STANDARD.—Mr. John Bolton O'Ncall, the Judge of South Carolina, who passed sentence of death upon Brown, for aiding in the escape of a female negro slave, has addressed a letter to Mr. Baillie Hastie, of Glasgow, explanatory of his conduct. Brown, it appears, was not hanged, or even whipped, as his commuted sen tence ordered —he received a free pardon, upon the representation, it is said, of the public of the province. We rejoice at the man's escape, and cer tainly cannot rejoice the less if he owes his impunity to the improved temper of the people of South Carolina. It is true that Brown, though described by his Judge as a thorough scoundrel, is not an abolitionist. His in terference to rescue the woman whom he aided to escape was prompted by a selfish and not very moral feeling. Had he been an abolitionist, and acted upon pure grounds, his fate might be different. Still, from what ever cause the escape has arisen, we are glad that our age and our race have escaped the infamy of punishing a man for assisting a woman to escape from slavery. Mr. Judge O'Neall dwells with proper force upon the immorality of Brown's conduct, but we must ask, is not such conduct among the earliest and most constant effects of slavery ? When women are made slaves—we really cannot follow out the con sequences —but every one who has lived in a slave country knows what they are, and others who have any just estimate of the corruption of human nature can easily conjecture. We confess that the rarity of such acts —we will not call them offences—as that for which Brown was sentenced to be hanged, seems to us the worst feature in the whole disgusting story. Brown had formed an attachment to a young mulatto slave, as likely as anything the child of her master—for these per sons are very oriental in their habits—he, a free man and an anti-abolitionist, could not marry a slave; Lynch law, if there was no other law, would punish with death such a mis- alliance. The consequence that too often follows love, where marriage is forbidden, followed in this case ; and Brox n, possibly not desirous to add a little slave, entitled to call him father, to the stock of cattle in which his paramour was numbered, stole the future mother from her slavery. Now, in a slave country, which not only always is, but always must be a coun try of lax morals, attachments like that in which Brown was entangled must be frequent ; but how gross, how sordid, how unmanly must be the prevailing feeling when it so rarely happens that the object of love and her offspring are rescued from bondage • we confess that we are unable to comprehend such an abject abasement of proper manly feeling as is proved by the rarity of such rescues. There is one other point, however, upon which we must have a word with Mr. Judge O'Neati. That person speaks of the law under which he proposed to hang his victim as a law eassed in 1750, when "we (the people of Caro lies) were under the government of King, Lords, n 1 Commons." Now, the purpose of this remark is t imply a falsehood, under cover of a sneer. The fal ehood is, that the King, Lords, and Commons of England, bed something to do with the abominable law in question ; whereas the King, Lords, and Commons had no more share in that execrable law than they have in the Suttees of India, which they tolerated, for peace sak e , a great deal too long, but in which thei r portion of guilt is merely' that of those who p erm i t crimes which they might pre vent by a rude exercise of power —a portion of guilt suf ficiently heavy, we allow, but far lightsr, surely, than that of the actu a l criminals. In 1750 South Carolina' had its own Legislature —a very democratical, and there fore a very tyrannical an d cruel Legislature, ' and so tur bulent that more than one sci e e c juca t s was issued to annul the charter of the province 1750, on the special ground o f the bru w t e a e l l i i t 0 172 f 0 some and of the enactments of the Legislature , as well as because of the constant negro insurrections and In dian wars, provoked by the insolence and rapacity o f th e provincials. No doubt the murderous law of 1750 received the Royal assent, through the medium of the Governor (Bull, we believe), b ut in those days governors were obliged to do many things for peace sake which British governors would not do now. And now, giving Judge O'Neal! all advantage of the date of his sanguinary law, may we not ask him why, during the sixty-two years of their republican liberty, the free citizens of South Carolina have allowed such a law to disgrace their statute-book ? The country from which the people of Carolina derive their descent, and what ever is good ih their laws, has not been idle either in mitigating her criminal code generally or in relaxing the bonds of slavery. We have not on our statute-book, at this day, one law imposing the penalty of death, except for crimes clearly capitally punishable by the law of God, and we have no slaves. Mr. Judge O'Neall, we think, must allow that we have, even with the incumbrance of King, Lords, and Commons, rather better employ e d th e l as t sixty tyto years, than they have been employed by his " frt e and enlightened fellow citizens" of • the model com monwealth. Meanwhile let us be just. Mr. O'Neall's letter, we think, is complete as a personal defence ; it leaves us under the impression that he is a humane and just man, administering an atrocious system in a wry bud state of soc i ety that is, as humane and just AS a man can be who lends himself to the administration of such a system ; but if we were disposed to censure Mr. O'Neal], the remembrance of the judge who left Mary Furley for execution must stop our mouths.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW- S7'I?EET. Thursday, after the hours of business, Mr. Jardine was engaged a considerable time in the Magistrates' private room investigating a charge preferred against a young man of fashionable exterior, and a native of I'oland, who is known by the title of Count Ostrowski, for making use of violent and threatening language re specting the Emperor of Russia, to the effect that he would assassinate his Majesty by shooting him the first time he could have an opportunity. The offence was committed at the house of the defendant's tailor, where he had been to give an order for clothes, and the trades man's foreman apprehending that such violent threats might be put into execution, proceeded to Scotland yard to apprise the proper authorities of the circum stance, in consequence of which the defendant was speedily in the hands of the detective officers, at his lodgings, 22, Mount-street, Grosvenor •square, dispensing with the use of a warrant from the Magistrates for that purpose. What answer the defendant made to such an extraordinary charge has not transpired, as every means were adopted to hush the matter and prevent its pub lication. The defendant was ultimately ordered to put in bail, himself in the sum of 500/., and two sureties in 2501. each, for his future good behaviour ; and having no means of communicating at so late an hour, it being then about seven o'clock, he was conveyed iu a cab to Tothill-fields prison for the night. To-day Chevalier Benkhausen, the Russian Consul, attended at the court, and had an interview with Mr. Jardine, in private, upon the subject ; and after he had gone some time, . _ Mr. Westmacott, a solicitor of Lincoln's-inn, waited on the magistrate, on behalf of the defendant, and.having submitted two names on paper, as sureties for his client, the persons referred to were considered perfectly re sponsible, and three o'clock was named for their atten dance. Mr. JARDINE directed Mace, the chief usher, to pro ceed to the prison and convey the defendant in a cab to the court, which he did, and showed him again into the magistrate's room. After a short delay, Mr. Skinner arrived ; and Mr. Lamie Murray, the other surety, being also present, the usual formalities were gone through, and the defendant was liberated. The defendant was said to be a man of independent fortune, and holds, or has held, the rank of captain in the French army. CLERKENWELL. Benjamin Beadle, a cab• driver, was charged with cutting and wounding Jane Hughes, an unfortunate girl, and also with an assault of a very aggravated character on Police-constable Nott, G 29. The prosecutor was sitting quietly in the Guy Earl of Warwick public-house, in Gray's Inn-lane, between five and six o'clock yesterday morning, when the prisoner entered, and, after using some language of a very rough and offensive description towards the complainant, asked her to drink some gin and milk. She refused, upon which the ruffian, without receivinc , further provo cation, flung the glass at her, and broke it to atoms on her forehead. The unfortunate woman was dreadfully mangled by the splinters of glass. She became in sensible, and bled profusely from the wounds. She ap peared in Court with her head bound up, and seemed to be suffering considerable pain. Another witness deposed that, immediately after the girl fell from the blow of the glass, the prisoner seized a pewter pint pot, and flung it at her head, but, fortu nately, it did not strike her. When the police were en deavouring to remove the prisoner to the cell, he sud denly threw himself on his back, and gave Nott such a kick in a delicate part of his person that the officer al most fainted from pain, and he was still suffering from the effects of it. Mr. GREENWOOD said a case of greater brutality had ' seldom come before him. He would fine the prisoner 51., or two months' imprisonment, for the assault on the female, and when the penalty had been paid, or the im• prisonment suffered, the prisoner should be brought up on the charge of assaulting the contable. Police-constable 75 E was charged with a violation of duty, and with assaulting Mr. C. J. Prentice, a shop keeper in Goswell-street-road. The complainant and a number of others were return ing home from Hampton-court on Sunday night last under the influence of liquor. They quarrelled in King's road. The constable was called upon, and, in endeavour ing to remove the complainant to the station-house struck him with his truncheon, but not until the com plainant had struck the constable several times. The complaint was dismissed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 7. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. Lord PORTMAN presented a petition from Somerset, com plaining of the existing fees to clerks of the peace and magis trates' clerks. Earl I3ROWNLOW presented petitions from Yorkshire against anfalteration in the corn-laws. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that, on Monday, he should present two petitions on the subject of the law relating to coursing ; and on that day he should put a question to the Government as to whether they would object to any alteration in those laws. The Duke of RICHMOND expressed a hope that the Noble Marquis would postpone his question till Thursday, when he (the Duke of Richmond) should be enabled to lay a case of considerable hardship before their Lordships. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he would do so. COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the city and liberty of West• minster and part of the county of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the Sewers'-Office in Greek-street. The Chair was taken at Twelve o'Clock, by T. L. Donaldson, Esq. The Court, havin g disposed of th e grea t er port i on o f the routine business before it, proceeded to the conside ration of the subject of sanctioning the order of the 28th May, for arching over about 1,000 feet of the King's Scholars' Pond Sower, Mr. Thomas Cubitt agreeing to construct one moiety at his own expense, and to build the remainder at 21. 12s. per foot run, m a kin g th e cos t to the district about 1,300 t Mr. LESLIE, at some length, opposed the proposition, and moved, as an amendment, that Mr. Rennie and Mr. Tredgold's reports, together with a previous Committees' reports as to the line of the King's Scholars' Pond Sewer should be reprinted and sent to all the Com missioners, and that the propositions for improving that sewer should be considered at a Court specially sum moned for that purpose on some early day—the Court to sit at ten o'clock. _ The amendment was lost by a majority of four, after some discussion, there being eleven hands held up for the amendment, and fifteen against. The original motion was declared to be carried by a majority of fourteen. The next business the Court proceeded to consider was, to receive the reply of Mr. George Bird, contractor, to the notice sent to him by order of Court, relative to the failure of portions of the main sewer built by himlin Gloucester-road, Paddington. On the matter being called on, Mr. GARROD, a solicitor, stated that he appeared as the agent and solicitor of Mr. Bird. Some discussion arose as to whether Mr. Garrod could be heard till Mr. Bird had sent in a written reply. It was, however, determined by a majority o f th e C ourt , that he should be heard. Mr. GAnnoD then proceeded at considerable length to address the Court on behalf of Mr. Bird. He con tended that Mr. Bird had performed his contracts strictly; that the materials and workmanship he had employed, had never been complained of by the sur veyors of the Court or their clerk of the works; that the accidents that had taken place were caused by the form of the sewer, and not by bad materials or bad workmanship ; and that, under such circumstances, the Court was not in a position to call upon Mr. Bird to remedy the defects in the sewer. He also defended Mr. Bird against the statements made by Philips, one cf the clerks of the works, and asserted positively that Mr. Bird, in stead of doing less, had done more work than he was re quired to do by his contract. He was satisfied that the Court had come to the decision they had done without mature deliberation, and he, on Mr. Bird's behalf, was willing to abide by any judgment the Court might come to after it bad fully weighed the case. If the Court de • termined that the accident was caused by the fault of Mr. Bird, he was willing to do all in his power to put it in repair ; but if the Court, after due consideration, de termined it would not act as judge and jury, Mr. Bird was willing to submit the-case to any Court or any in dependent gentlemen. Mr. GAIGOD, on being called upon to give, on a future day, a written answer for Mr. Bird, said that he could do so in three minutes. The answer was—that Mr. Bird asserted that he had done the work according to the contract, and was not liable to make it good. After some further discussion, the further considera tion of the question of Mr. Bird's reply was adjourned till Tuesday week, at twelve o'clock. The Court then adjourned.

It appeared from the evidence that on Wednesday last the deceased, who re sided in Angel-court, Long-acre, was found by her son in a state of intoxication at a public-house in Long-acre. He entreated her to go home, but she refused. Being in an almost insensible state, he took her up in his arms for the purpose of carrying her to her residence. On arriving at the corner of Rose-street deceased slipped from his arms and fell heavily on the pavement. He again took her up, and on arriving home he discovered blood on her face, and she appeared wholly unconscious. He became alarmed, and went for Mr. Morgan, a sur geon, but who did not attend. She was subsequently removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where she died on Saturday last. Mr. Burrows, the house-surgeon, said deceased was labouring under the effect of stupor from liquor. She had a cut across the forehead, and three of her ribs were broken. It was his opinion that injury to the pleura, caused by the broken ribs, produced death. Verdict—" Accidental death." EXCESSIVE INTOXICATION.—On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Nag's Head Tavern, Postern row, Tower-hill, before William Walton, Esq., Coroner for her Majesty's Liberties of the Tower, on the body of Mary Finnegan, aged fifty years, whose death had been occasioned by excessive intoxication. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been for many years addicted to intoxication. She used to keep a stall for the sale of trifling articles in Rag-fair, opposite to the Rising Sun gin shop. She was in one continued state of intoxi cation from Saturday night until Monday afternoon, when she sat on a form at the Rising Sun. There she remained apparently asleep until nearly half-past six in the evening, and on the bar-woman attempting to arouse her, she was found to be in a dying state. A medical man was sent for, but on his arrival she was quite dead. Neither the Coroner nor the jurors asked a single ques tion as to the quantity of spirits supplied to the deceased at the Rising Sun, nor did they ask why she had been allowed to remain there for so many hours. A verdict that the deceased had died from excessive drinking was returned. TORY ITIMIDATIO N AND TRICKERY.—A NEW MOVE.—We were waited upon by a party the other day, who made a statement to the following effect :—That a collector of highway rates, in a neighbouring township, called upon an aged man, who, at the last election, voted for Lord Morpeth and Lord Milton, to demand his rate. The elector complained of the injustice of the charge, when the collector remarked significantly " You should have minded who you voted for at the last election ;" thus holding out a threat for his independent vote, or else an in ducement for the adoption of a different line of conduct at a future election. Such conduct deserves reprobation. The man, who was thus tampered with, will substantiate tie statement, and will communicate the name of the tool of the Tory party who thus attempted to pervert his official in fluence to party Purposes.—,ark Courant. HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. The Marquis of NORIII/613i,;iiherequest of the Earl of Wicklow, postponed his motion for a Committee on this railway till Monday. ENDOWMENT OF SCHOOLS BILL. On the motion for the committal of this Bill, The Bishop of SALISBURY opposed the Bill, on the ground, that the Bench of Bishops had not been consulted upon it. The motion was then postponed (as we understood). VISIT OF THE KING OF SAXONY. At twenty minutes past liveo'e.l;ck his Majesty the King of Saxony entered the House, and took his scat opposite to the Bench of Bishops, and near to the Woolsack, a chair having been previously placed for his Majesty's accommoda tion. The House was, at this time, exceedingly crowded, both by Peers and strangers. Two ladies were in the House, the lady of Lord Lurgan, and the Noble Lord's daughter. His Majesty the King of Saxony appeared to pay particular attention to the proceedings in the House, but we did not observe him converse with any Noble Lord, with the exception of exchanging a few words with the Marquis of Londonderry. Shortly after his Majesty entered the House, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he wished to know if the Noble Lord near him (Lord Monteagle), who had a notice on the paper with respect to the corn-laws, would have any objection to postpone it till a future day, as it would be inconvenient to the Government, on this evening, to have it brought on. Lord MONTEAGLE expressed his surprise at the request which had been made to him. He was perfectly ready either to bring on the motion or to postpone it ; but other Noble Lords might not be in a position to wish for its postponement, inasmuch as the motion had already been re peatedly postponed; and those Noble Lords might complain that he had not acted with firmness and resolution, if he con sented to postpone his motion. He thought there was that which the House ought to consult before private convenience, and that was the public interest. —( Hear, hear. ) The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to say, that if he had had the opportunity, he would have informed the Noble Lord, that it was the wish of her Majesty's Govern ment that this motion should be postponed. Lord MON TEAGLE said that he would poepone the mo tion, provided it were understood that it should be brought for ward on Monday next. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE was understood to say that he hoped there would be no objection to the motion being brought forward on Monday. Lord BROUGHAM said be had come down to the House to attend to the motion of his Noble Friend, and he hoped that the postponement of that motion would not be made a precedent. . _ _ n Lord CAMPBELL thought that all inconvenience might be obviated by their Lordships returning to the old system of meeting at eight o'clock in the morning.—( Hear, and a laugh.) The Duke of WELLINGTON would have no objection to come to the Huse at eight o'clock in the morning ; but he thought that Noble and Learned Lords—( A laugh)— who had other business to attend to, and who were younger than he was, would find it very inconvenient to come down to the Douse at eight o'clock.—( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Ha had no objection to Monday, or any other day, for the Noble Lord's motion.—( Hear, hear.) Lord MONTEAGLE said that it would perhaps be as well to postpone his motion till Thursday next. The Gold and Silver Wares Bill was read a third time and passed. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Vl'orthing, Shoreham, and other places in Sussex, in favour of agricultural Protection. The Earl of RODEN presented a number of petitions from the north of Ireland in favour of Presbyterian marriages. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 7. ARMY IN INDIA. The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock, and in formed the House that he had received a letter from the Governor-General of India, acknowledging the thanks of the House, which were given on the2Oth February last to the army in India. DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL. Petitions against this Bill were presented by Mr. Shaw from Ireland ; Mr. Barnard, Deptford; Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Boyd, places in Ireland; Mr. W. 0. Stanley, Anglesey ; Mr. Tre. lawney, from Tavistock ; Sir C. Douglas, the Earl of Hills borough, from Down; and by Mr. Stafford O'Brien. Mr. BUTLER presented petitions in favour of the Bill from the city and county of Kilkenny, and in doing so said he was now obliged to act as Member for both the city and county of Kilkenny, on account of the incarceration of Mr. John O'Connell. Mr. SHARM..4.N CRAWFORD presented petitions in fa vour of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Kilcoun, Duncormack, and Killog, county Wexford; Donoughcloney and Newtownards, county Down ; Ball3•money, county Antrim ; Raphoe, county Donegal ; Dunshaughlin, county Meath; and Bough, county London derry ; and from the inhabitants of various religious denomina tions residing in Cromlin, county Antrim, and Saintfield and Ballymullen, county Down ; also a petition from the Blackwater congregation of Rochdale to the same effect. also eight petitions against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill from different bodies of Wesleyan Methodists in Rochdale, signed by upwards of 500 names. RAILWAYS. The Ashton, Staleybridge, and Liverpool Railway Bill; the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Bill; and the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. Mr. TRELAWNEY gave notice that, on an early day, he would propose to the House a measure for relieving her Ma jetty's subjects of the Jewish persuasion from civil di sa biliti es . Mr. SHAW gave notice that he would move the substitution of a possession of sixty years, instead of twenty-five years, in the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. PARISHES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion that the Howe resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Scotch Parishes Bill, Mr. DUNCAN M'NEILL said that he thought it right to state what was the object of the Government in proposing this Bill. The Bill did not introduce any new principle into the law of Scotland. It had for its object to facilitate the division of parishes in Scotland. By the law, as it now existed, the patronage of a new parish belonged to the patron of the old one; but where other par ties bore the burden of erecting the new parish church, it seemed but reasonable that some other provision should be made, saving, of course, the rights of the heritors. As the law at present stood, there was not any power of attach ing districts to churches, which had been erected in parishes, without the consent of the heritors. Parties willing to erect churches, and to provide endowments for their support, and for the support of the ministers, had at present no power to erect them into distinct parishes. There was no power anywhere existing for that purpose. The Church of Scotland at one time believed it had that power, and had exercised it, but when the matter was brought before the courts cf law, it was decided, on an appeal to the House of Peers, that the Church had no such power. The pre sent Bill gave a power, in such cases, to attach a district to the church, and to erect it into a separate parish, without the consent of the heritors, who, is they were not called upon to contribute, had certainly no right to interfere capriciously to deprive persons of that religious instruc tion for which they were themselves willing to pay. Some of the petitions against the Bill proceeded upon the erro neous impression that the Bill was intended to give power to certain individuals who had contributed towards the erection of churches, and who still continued in communion with the Church of Scotland, to take possession of these churches, notwithstand ing the opposition of persons who had likewise con tributed towards their erection, but who were not mem bers of the Church. The Bill contained no such provisions. The Bill did not seek to make any demands on the public funds. Its object, as he said before, was to give facilities for the division of parishes ; and such being its object, he did not think there could be any objection to going into Committee upon it. Mr. FOX MAULE thought that some necessity should at least be shown for bringing in this Bill, or for legislating on the subject at all. He had spoken of disjoining parishes : the first clause of the Bill trenched somewhat on the right of property. He admitted there were some points which created alarm in Scotland, and which were made clear by the Learned Lord Advocate. There was no ob jection to what was proposed with regard to giving the status of ministers to those who directed the forty churches in the Highlands of Scotland. There was no objection to giving the status of parish ministers to the ministers of great towns. His main objection to the Bill was that it was unnecessary, and therefore he should propose that the Bill be committed that day six months. The amendment having been put, Mr. P. M. STEWART said that this was a far more im portant Bill than its title seemed to indicate. It was one of the most extraordinary and unaccountable attempts at legislation that ever was made in that House. It was, in fact, a Bill for Church extension, and a Bill for this purpose was introduced at a time when a great secession had taken place from the Established Church of Scotland. How would English Mem bers like to have such a Bill proposed, if a secession took place in England ? But more emphatically he put the question to Irish Members on both sides of the House, who had experience of what it was to possess churches without con gregations. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to object to several of the details of the measure. He thought there was a salutary tendency in the law to prevent persons indulging in their charitable propensities at the expense of their successors. 'I here was no precedent for a Bill of this description. Why should they offer these facilities for the extension of a Church which was already much too large for the wants of those be longing to it, while they offered no such facilities to the real Church of Scotland—the Free Church ? They gave permis sion to take lands for railroads—they were now giving per mission to take lands for the purpose of extending the Esta blished Church. How would they treat an application on the part of the Free Church to take lands— VISIT OF THE KING OF SAXONY. [At this period of the Hon. Member's speech his Majesty the King of Saxony entered the House. His Majesty occupied the scat of the Sergeant -at-Arms, and appeared to pay great attention to the proceedings. Soon after the King of Saxony entered the House, Sir Robert Peel went up to his Majesty, and entered into conversation with him. No interruption, how ever, took place in the proceedings of the House, and the de bate proceeded as though his Majesty had not been present.] He believed the object of the Bill was to restore Dr. M'Leod to the status of a parish minister. He had a great respect for Dr. M'Leod personally ; but he made himself exceedingly con spicuous when the Right Hon. Baronet ( Sir R. Peel) visited Glasgow some years back, and the general belief was that the main object of this Bill was to restore this gentleman to the position of a parish minister. Mr. HUME was sorry that this Bill had been introduced. ft was quite unnecessary, as five hundred new chapels had been erected in Scotland within the last eighteen months. It was also contrary to all sound principle, and he thought the object of its introduction was to call off attention from more important questions.—(Laughter.) H e should give it all the opposition in his power. Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., said he would oppose the Bill as nothing less than a confiscation of property.—(Hear.) He had heard nothing to show a necessity for this Bill. There were many churches in Scotland which had no congregations, and it was perfectly unjustifiable to bring in this measure for the support of the deserted Church. Mr. WALLACE cou'd not be persuaded that the object of the measure was not to bring the people of Scotland to think less of their new Free Church than they did. There was already plenty of space, and to spare, in the churches of the Establish ment, and it was to the new Church the patronage of the Government should be extended, although he himself was still a member of the old Church. —( A laugh. ) The effect of the measure would be to divide the people of Scotland, and to create dissensions amongst them, upon that very them e , th e nat i ona l religion, upon which they' been so mach united. He supported the amendment.—( Hear. ) Sir JAMES GRAHAM was surprised that the Hon. Gen tleman who had just sat down could say that the Bill was brought in with objects which had not been avowed. The Hon. Gentleman ought at least to give his grounds for that statement.—( Hear, hear.) The principle of the measure was not Erastian—it was a principle which had been always upheld in the best times of the Scotch Church. It had been said that a great secession had lately taken place, and as the debate proceeded the number of the seceders seemed to have gradually increased. The Right Hon. Member for Perth had stated them at 800,000. The Hon. Member for Renfrew had increased them to a million, and had added that only a small amount was left in Scotland attached to the Esta blished Church. To that statement he demurred. Although 150 churches had been vacated, they had experienced no diffi culty in providing suitable ministers—( Opposition cheers)—ho meant miuieters who had been received by their flocks without objection, and who were every way qualified for their office. It was only just to the Establishment that every facility should be given for its extension in large districts, by the subdivison of parishes. In the Highland districts, forty parishes had been erected by the munificence of Parliament, in which the ministers were not able to exercise their full rights. The present Bill wouuld restore them their rights. NVith regard to the right given to heriters to burden their lands for the endowment of churches, that right could only be exercised by the authority of a court of law, which could entertain no 1 application Head c a purpose except from a majority of the heriters. Had su the Members. for Perth and Renfrew continued Members of the Establishment, from which they had seceded, not on a point of doctrine, but of discipline only, they would have supported a me.esure like the present, and - why should they now oppose a mcasure for the extension of that Church in the doctrines of which they be lieved ? This brought to his mind another inconsistency on the part of the Right llon. Member for Perth. :it was scarcely a fortnight since that Right Hon. Gentleman brought forward a motion for the abolition of subscription of tests in the Scottish Universities, and yet last night he was found in, the course of the debate advoca-ing the continuance of tests. (Cheers from the Ministerial side of the House, and calls of " 'Order, order," " Chair, chair," from Mr. F. Maple.) He saw how sore the point was with the Right Hon Gentleman wiles appealed to the Chair, because he (Sir J. Graham) had alluded to a for mer debate. He would bow at once in submission to the Chair, but he must be permitted to observe, in passing, that it was with sorrow he observed how sadly and how speedily the bitterness of religious dissent had operated oxa the mind of the Right Hon. Gentleman.—(Cheers.) His Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government. had given a pledge that every facility should be given to ithe Established Church of Scotland for the extension of its doctrines. This Bill was the redemption of that pledge. It was upon the prin ciple of that Bill that they were now called upon to decide. The details might be considered in Committee, but, mntil the House had decided to the contrary, he never could bektieve that they would reject the principle of such a measure.—(Clicers.) Mr. P. M. STEWART explained. He had stated that the Free Church amounted to nearly a million. 1& denied that he had designated the Established Church as a remnant ; what he had said was, that the Free Church was the Church of the ma jority, and the Established Church the Church of the law and the minority. Sir J. GRAHAM had to apologise to the Hon. Member for Renfrew. It was the Hon. Member for St. Andrews who designated the Established Church as a remnant. At the conclusion of Sir J. Graham's explanation the King of Saxony quitted the House. J Mr. FORBES supported the Bill. After a few ords from Mr. SMOLLETT, The house divided, when there appeared-- For the motion .. For the amendment .. 59 Majority The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1 being read, Mr. E. ELLICE opposed the clause, on the grounds that it interfered with private right. The LORD ADVOCATE of Scotland supported the clause. Sir. HUME said this clause contained a very important al teration in the present law, and he did not think the Right Hon. Gentleman had adduced any just reasons for making such a change. He had no objections to the endowment of churches, but he was decidedly opposed to members of other persuasions being obliged to pay for the sustainment of doc trines from which they differed. The House should not take the Right Hon. Gentleman's ipse digit as to the necessity for so important an alteration. Sir GEORGE CLERK said, the first duty of the Legis lature was to provide religious instruction for the rapidly in creasing population, and the present Bill was insufficient for that purpose. Mr. FOX MAULE opposed the clause. He had cer tainly prepared a similar Bill to the present one in 1835, but it differed in this respect, that he proposed that the pa rishes should be divided according to the majority of num bers ; whereas the Bill of the Government proposed to make the division according to the majority of interest. Under these circumstances, he must oppose the clause. The Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, had charged him (Mr. F. Maule) with inconsistency. Now, he thought the last person to make such a charge ought to be the Right Hon. Baronet himself.—( Hear, hear.) The man who wrote " Corn and Currency" and who now sat as the supporter of the agricultural interest, ought to be very cau tious in charging another with inconsistency.—( Hear, hear. ) In a celebrated caricature publication of the day, the Right Hon. Baronet was represented as receiving a deputation from the distressed thimble-riggers.—(Laughter.) One of these thimble-riggers was made to ask the Right Hon. Baronet if he had any objection to allow the game of round-about ? and the Right lion. Gentleman replied, " Oh, no, for I have pa tronised round-about all my life."—( Great laughter, in which Sir James Graham joined.) The Right Hon. l'aronet should be careful how he made a charge of inconsistency against another.—( Hear ) Mr. FORBES supported the clause. This Bill was intended to supply the spiritual wants of the poor, and as such he sup ported it. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that however he and the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite might differ with respect to many points, at all events they were agreed as to the principle of the clause, which, in point of fact, was founded on the doc trine laid down by Pr. Chalmers himself. The Right Hon. Gentleman was ready in the year 1835 to go a great deal further than the present Bill proposed to do. The whole question really resolved itself into this—either conformity with, or dissent from the Established Church of Scotland. Mr. FOX MAULE denied that they were then discussing the principle of the Bill. Mr. COLQUHOUN defended the clause. Mr. HUME was quite willing to support any measure for providing religious accommodation for the people; but he was convinced that their physical wants were the great causes of the crimes. Let the Legislature turn its attention to the removal of these, and there would be little occasion for interference in other matters COLQUHOUN would not deny that an improvement of their physical condition would tend to improve their morals, but he did not think that was an argument against religious improvement. Mr. P. M. STEWART considered the Bill perfectly use less, and wondered how it got into the House.—(A laugh. ) After a desultory conversation, strangers were ordered to withdraw. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the clause 52 Against it 2O Majority Clause 4 was agreed to, alter a short discussion Clause 5 was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clause 6 was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clause 7 was agreed to. On clause 8 being proposed, which enables persons who have life interests to give four acres for sites for glebes, Mr. F. MAULE said he should object to the clause. He thought it most objectionable that those who had only life in terests should have the power of burdening the property of those who were to come after them, by leaving four acres for sites. He thought that an acre and a half would be quite sufficient. Mr. WALLACE would also oppose the clause. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause ..... Against it Majority for the clause —36 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 9 being proposed, Mr. FOX MAULE said, that unless the Right Honour able Gentleman, the Lord Advocate, consented to extend this clause to all churches, he should avail himself of all the forms of the House in opposing it. This clause was similar •to the last, but it applied to endowments generally, and was therefore far more extensive. Sir E. COLEBROOKE said he objected to the whole Bill, because it was conceived in the narrowest spirit with respect to the present religious state of Scotland. Mr. F. MAULE proposed an amendment, providing that heirs entail should have a voice in making the endowments. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. BOUVERIE said he should oppose the clause, unless it ware extended to all religious denominations. The suggestion not being agreed to, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it . Majority for the clause ......... —4l The clause was ►hen agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. ELLICE, jun., said he should oppose the clause, be cause it was in fact an additional endowment of the Church of Scotland. After some conversation, the clause was carried without a division. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received on Monday. SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Ten o'clock. ' ROYAL INFIRMARY FOR CHlLDREN.—Yesterday the anniversary festival of the Royal Infirmary in Waterloo bridge-road, established in 1816, for the purpose of affording gratuitous medical aid to the poor of the metropolis, took place at the London Tavern. Soon after six o'clock about 80 of the leading patrons and supporters of the institution sat down to a plentiful dinner—the Right Hon. the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, M.P., iu the chair; we also observed Lord Lyttelton. Mr. E. Antrobus, M.P., Mr. IL Kemble, M.P., Major Brereton, Mr. A. K. Bar c l a y, & c., at the head table. After the removal of the cloth, the customary routine of loyal and appropriate toasts were given, and, in the course of the evening, subscriptions and donations amounting to 2851. were handed over to the treasurer, Mr. A. K. Barclay. The annual subscription of 21/. from her Majesty, and 101. from the Queen Dowager, were like wise announced by the secretary, who made a gratifying statement relative to the funds of the Society, which it ap peared had been sufficiently extended to enable the Com mittee to liquidate a heavy building debt, exceeding 2,0001., although the necessity of increased support was strongly urged upon the meeting, the period having arrived for carry ing out the proposition of the founders of the charity, by opening the wards for in-patients, and by the delivery of clinical lectures on the most important infantile disorders. Mr. W. C. Dendy, one of the medical staff, in acknowledging the compliment paid that body, alluded to the circumstance of medical aid being now afforded, by means of this institu tion, to the sick parent of the suckling child, whereby organic disease in the latter, in many instances, is obviated.. He trusted the importance of this new feature in their operations would not be underrated, although it may have been the cause of additional expenditure. Mr. Dendy also drew their attention to the increased benefits now afforded the infant patients by their removal from the unwholesome atmosphere which surrounded the wretched homes of the poor, and which originated much of the disease prevalent amongst them. The Noble Chairman did not get through the duties of his office till a late hour ; the ordinary intervals occurring in the pro ceedings of the evening having been agreeably extended by the glee and solo singing of Messrs. H. Phillips, Hawkins, T. Cooke, and Hatton, under; the direction of Mr. Hawes, whose arrangements gave general satisfaction. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
