DOUBT OF KING'S BEN6H, DUBLIN, JUNE'V.: THE SING AND THE REV. RICHARD MURRAY V. HIS GRACE THE LORD PRIMATE. In this case Counsel applied for a conditional rule or a Man damus to his Grace the Lord Primate, to shew cause why he should not grant the usual certificate to Mr. Murray, according to the 38th Canon, of his honesty, ability, and conformity to the ecclesiastical laws, to enable him to pass from the diocese of Armagh into another Diocese, when Mr. Murray's affidavit was stated at guat length, putting 'forth a case of alleged cruelty, but which we at present forbear to detail,; the. Court having granted the conditional rule. and his Grate being called on to chew cause in four days why he should not grant the said certificate. The case being a novel one in this country, we propose laying a full report of it before our readers, when his Grace shall shew cause.—(Dublin Paper.) PHEFERMENTS.—The Rev. Edw.

Scott, a Catholic Clergylnan in Glasgow, obtained 1001. damages against Mr. M'G avin, a merchant there, and 201. against a Mr. S 3 m, for libelling his character, in a periodical work called the Protestant, by charging him with oppressively extorting money from the poor of his congregation, to build new chapel.

TUE QUAItTEIIf.Y REVIEW.—The second 'ar ticle of the last Number of this interesting pub lication is a Review of Capt. Lyon's Travels in .'Northern Africa, in which there ig.the following;- Song of an Arab, highly expressive of the cha 'racter and feelings of that people : " Here I am, well mounted, on a horse, whose ears are like pens, who runs like an antelope, and . knows .none but his mas ter. My new red cap becomes me Well ;my sword is sham, my pistols well cleaned, and my belt shines in the sun. As the .heart of a pigeon beats when she finds she is robbed cf her young, so will my love's heart beat when the sees me. She will not allow the dog to bark, and she : will leave the tent as if in search of wood. Should her kinsmen see her with me, 'she shall not fall under their displeasure. • I will lift her on my horse, and fly with her ; for my steed has cars like pens, he runs like an antelope, • and knows none but his master. My new tags:is becomes me well • my sword is sharp, my pistols clean, and my belt.shines in the sun." The Reviewer giveS the following beautiful. versification of it, and intimates that.the Author of it may be easily guessed : " SONG. " Behold me,' sung Hassan the fearless And free, ' On the steed which obeys not a master hut me, Who points like the-quills of the eagle his ears, And whoie bound o'er the desert is light as the deer's. Behold me with sabre well sharpened and bright, And with - yistols new flinted and burnished for fight, • Aiy cap with fresh scarlet so gaily be-done, And my baldrick of silver which gleams in the sun. When my true love espies me, the heart in her breast Shall beat quick as the pigeon's when robbed of her nest ; She will hush the hoarse watch-dog, and.hie to the grove, That the eyes of her kindred espy not her Love; Yet, let them descry me—their wrath I defy, And why should 'she tremble when Hassan is nigh ? Like the hawk from the covey, selecting his prey, FrOm the midst of her tribe I would bear her away. I would mount her behind me; sung Hassan the free, On the steed which obeys not a rider but Me; • ' Who points like the eagle's sharp . feathers his ears, And whose bound o'er the desert is light as the deer's ; For I come with my sabre, &c.' " SOUTFIA3IPTON, JUNE 30.—The Royal Glouceater.Lodge of Free Masons met on Tuesday last, to celebrate the Anniver sary of St. John,' at Free Masons' Hell, after which 'they ad journed to the Star Inn, and partook of an excellent darner, served up by Brother Guy, and the afternoon was devottdt) harmony . and friendship. There rs every reason to hope that. the Meeting of the Hamp shire Society for the Education of the Poor, on Monday the ihir of July, will be very fully attended.' The desire of meeting our Venerable Diocesan, upon his first public appearance in Win chester, may be expected to bring together Many of the neigh bouring Clergy, while the interest which has always been cr cited by the numerous assemblage of children (to. the amount, we believe, of 700), at the triennial meeting •of the Society, will be increased on the present occasion, in , consequence of. the Bishop having undertaken to advocate the cause of the charity..

PAW, AME NT, HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY S.

The following Bills were brought up from the Commons The Irish Customs Collection Bill, the Public Works' Bill, the Captured Slaves' Pill, the Acetous Acid Bill, the Irish Silk Bounties' Bill, and the l'cluscovk : Sugar Importation Bill.—'They were each read the first tifne. Mr. Swinburne presented the Annual Accounts of the Com missioners of Westminster Bridge. BANKRUPT LAWS. Lord DACRE moved for the postponement of the second reading of the Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill, with a viers to letting the subject stand over to the next Session, the pre sent being so near its close His Lordship, at the same time, expressed his satisfaction at understanding that the subject was then likely to be taken up by a Noble Lord in that Housq, Who was much-more competent to meet the question in all its bear ings than he was. The LORD CHANCELLOR announced his intention of briiging forward a Bill upon that subject early in the next Ses sion of Parliament. He had hitherto abstained from giving any intimation of his purpose, from a wish not to interfere with the views of any other Noble Lord on the subject. The motion was then agreed to. - Lord KING presented a Petition from certain Inhabitants of Reading, in favour of the Cruelty to Animal's Bill. His Lordship also presented two other Petitions, one from Pool, and one from Lewes, praying for a mitigation of the Criminal Laws. They were all ordered to be laid on the Table. The Sheerness Lands. Bill, and the Irish Foundling Hospi tal Bill, were each read the third time and passed. The Consolidated Fund Bill, and the Coasting Trade Bill passed through the Committees and were reported. PUBLIC ECONOMY. The Earl of DARNLEY said, that he felt upon all occasions where his duty required him to ad dress the House, the 'disadvantages under which. he laboured from a want . of the weight and im portance confirmed by commanding abilities. If such was his feeling upon all occasions, how much more strongly must it operate in the present,in; stance, when he was about to call their Lordships' attention to a subject of such moment as the re trenchment of the various establishments of the State, and that too at the close of a Session, which had been distinguished by nothing - so much as bya general apathy towards all public ques tions within the walls of that House. The position with which all discussions had been re garded could not be more strongly exemplified than in the complaint of a Noble Lord, who la mented that one debate had been protraeted.to such - an hour as to interfere with his usual hour of dinner. This remissness on the part of their Lordships furnished a striking contrast to the ac tivity of the other House, which was occupied night after night in the investigation of the mist laborious details. . In addition to the disadvan tages he-had already named, it was to be recol lected•that the Session waS . uow drawing fast to its conclusion, and that business. was still more likely to be hastened than before in order to make way for the approa.ching ceremony of the Coronation. He had also to regret the absence of a Noble Friend of his (the Marquess of Lans down;), who even during the present SesSion had attended to his Pailiamentary duties until. he was unavoidably obliged to absent hirtelf. He had, however, derived one advantage from the postponement of his motion ; his Majesty's sisters had never been able to deny the propriety of adopting a system of economy, but they had never. expressed themselves so distinctly . on the subject before as in a late Resolution of the other ,House, passed with their concurrence, and proba bly not without their previous approbation. Though that Resolution was more complimentary to the Government than be could have wished, he regarded ,it with satisfaction as a pledge by which their future practice might be tried with respect to the great purposes of economy. His object in bringing forward the present motion was to endeavour to impress upon their Lordships, that notwithstanding the favourable appearances which some ,branches of..our manufactures had as sumed, especially the silk manufacture,• and not withstanding the statement which the Chancellor of .the Exchequer was 'enabled to produces with respect . to the condition of the Revenue, still the Agricultural distress Was so great, and the cir cumstances of country were, in most instances, so unfavourable, as to requite some prompt and effeetive measure of relief. A well regulatO machine might continue its - motion for some time after the main Springhad received an injury ; the mere continuance of motion, therefore, was not a proof that all its parts were in perfection, nor that some steps were not required, in order , to prevent the necessity of resorting at last to some more difficult and powerful remedy. With a view to avoid the worst part of the alternative, he would call upon their 'Lordships to carry. an Address to the foot of the Throne, recommend ing economy in all departments ,of the Govern ment, and he would endeavour 'to prove, in sup port of-such a motion, that great retrenchments, were within our reach ; he Would . endeavour to spew, that the class of his Majesty's subjects which depended on the soil, and which, without detracting from the importance of any other, class, was still the most important, was in a situ ation that required something to be done. To recur to his former figure, he might sayohat that main spring was beginning to fail, and that no remedy had been ,yet, applied fOr its improve ment. The Committee of the llonse of Commons had confessed, in itslteport, that they could see no legislative remedy .for the evils, , s hose exist ence they admitted. in the vressikt year .the Farmers svkre paying out of. their capital and credit, and without any profit on their industry. The Taxes were thus paid ; there was no defalca tion in- the Revenue, but it was impossible that the Farmers could continue to go on for another year in the same way. He agreed with the Com mittee that the distress was not altogether to be attributed to the taxation, and he anticipated but little relief from the Repeal of the Agricul tural Horse Tax, it would not produce a re duction of more than two per cent.; however, as it was adirect Tax upon Agriculture, it was well to have got rid of it for the sake of the principle. At the same time, it was not the direct taxation, that Presed upon. the Farmer, but the indirect taxation, which affected him in the' prices of soap, leather, and other articles of common use, and in the price of. labour, for which he was obliged to pay either in the shape of wages or of Poor Rates. He. hoped :that the period would never arrive when that House could be charged with breach 'of faith with.the public creditor, but it was impossible not to see that we might at last bedriven to an extremity, in which it would be diffieUlt-, if not impracticable,to discharge our engagements. If once that main spring of •the naiional prosperity, the Agricultural interest, should fail tO any great extent, no one could say what' strong measure they might be obliged to adopt. Their only chance of avoiding such . a misfortune was by diminishing the expenditure•in all its -branches. He would not confuse the House and himself by entering minutely into the details of the reductions, which in• his opinion might be effected in the different departments, but •he hoped he should be able to state enough to shew that they might economise by millionS. The first department to which - he would allude was one to'which he was less inclined to apply the Principle 'of reductiOn than any other, it the circumstances of the country would permitthe choice.' 'Even as it was, if he thotight the pre sent establishment necessai y to retain our supe riority as a naval power,.he would be one of the last to propose any reduction of the estimates. Ile found that the navy, in its present condition, stood as high as was required to meet the chances of any 'possible. War, and here it would be uncandid not to give the Ministers credit for the reductions .which .had already `taken place in that depart ment since the termination of hostilities. We had at this moment fit for service, 84 sail of the line, 67 frigates, 22 ordered to be built, and 13 to be repaired.—This was a power 'exeeeding in amount the united force of the French and Ame rican navies, the Frencli.havingbut 5a sail of the line, and: the Americans 11 - . He would not deny but that if ,Might be: well to keep up superabundant force, yet, taking into considera tiOnthestateof-onr finances, and the difficulty of manning,the ships in any emergency, .he was of Opinion, :that without endangering any interest of the State,. a Material .reduction might take place; he had heartt that it was in contempla tion to discontinue- the - navy yard at Deptford, for which noless a sum had been voted by Par liament •than 141,3091. The..country.Was,..hur thened with -an annual charge for timber: and building materials, with 891,5841: Without. in the least endangering :her naval-superiority, half a might be :lopped off from these items .only. 'Another'jtern referred to . .a great national - work- =which, under more: prosperous circum stances, he would not be disposed to limit; lie alluded. to the basin and dock yard at Sheerness. The saving which he would propose in the Naval Department alone, amounted 'to 800,0001, — lll the Army considerable retrencliments,rnight,still be made-. The ES tablishnient of Abe . 'Horse Guards cost the nation 316,0001.,; he would pro pose that it should be reduced to 80,000/., which might be effected without interfering with the splendour of the Crown. In the Cavalry a Say ing.ef 1'20,0001. was practicable, and, upon the whole eStablishmetit!of the Army, it was not too much. to say that, two ,millions sterling might be saved. Even if it was reduced- but one-tenth, the saving to the public would be 0001. *There -was another item, the necessity of 'Which he could not comprehend ; lie sew no reason ,why 'they should go on multiplying barracks through out the kingdom ; 260,5001. was to be laid out for this Purpose, of this 100,0001. might be saved,. The commissariat might be reduced one-fifth, and the Army Extraordinaries one-tentlr,• which. Would make a saving of 700,0001. With respect to the Ordnance Department, he doubted Wite ther he could propose any reduction, - . but he 'thought, that if Ministers were sincere, n their professions of economy, they might, by the sale of certain lands and buildings, - now of no 'use, accomplish a reduction of 100;0001: in the Qrd nance Department. The Miscellaneous Services were 6stbmitedat_two millions . and a half ; a re ductionof only 10 per cent:Wonld'giVe. 250,0001. He next came' to the Civil List. It was true. that Royalty ought to be surrounded with splen dour, when the prosperity of the country per mitted, but, in times of difficulty and distress, he knew of nothing which could tend More Co satisfy the people with their condition, than te See an example of retrenchment set by the highest person in the State: Queen itnie Pita . made a sacrifice to the necessities of .her people, and it Might.be said of such acts that— • " They became " The throned Monarch better than Ms crown, " Ile did noi..rnean.to make any invidiotis allusion 'to the a - ppreaching ceremony of the Coronation, or to his Majesty's intention of visiting any part of his don - 111141ns; but the Civil jeist he thouOlt might be reduced to I fO,CGOI. The _expense of collecting the Revenue might be diminished per hapS half n million, and the Whole staject- was wt .11 deserving of the most serious'Conside; - ation of Parliament. The Noble Lord cOndiuded, after. some ,general observations, in which he - s . trOiigly inculcated the necessity of economy, pr . ticulaily at the present moment, by moving the folloiving Address : "'That a,n hitmble Address bb presented to his Majesty, praying that he grAcicusly pteased to take into -his mediate and most serious -consideration' the difficulticA.a.ml 4is, tresses - of his faithful su'..ijects, and especially of that very fm portant description of therh whose wealth and SnbsiAtenci. , immediately depend on agriculture,- and that his Majewy be graciously} pleased to gly.esuch directions as to his Majesty's wisdom 'shall seem eXpedient to diminish'the..pdblic exliendi to rti in all the great Departments- of the State, both civil and Mili tary, as the only effectual means of permanently relieving theL4e. difficulties and distresses which, if not mintipe i lly occaslonciai are at least materially . agravated by the pressure of ac.curnuiii..., cd taxation." The Earl of Llvarteoor. said, he would not enter into the extensive field of discussion which the Noble Lord had opened, because many of tilt . : subiects which he' had brought under their con sideration, would individually reqUire a . ichol:. night's debate ; besides, there were, perhtcpS, circumstances in his mere situation which dis qualified him from 'discharging such a task as he could Wish. lie lamented as much as any man the distress of the country, and particularly Of the agricultural interests.. He agreed in opinion wii?i the Committee of the other House, that no legis; lative measure was Capable of affording substan tial relief. He would go further, and state, that by legislating on such subjects, not only 'would they do no good, but probably much harm. The agricultural interests undoubtedly laboured under • great difficulties, but they were not to be laid tO the account of taxation, for in the other parts of Europe, and in America, the distress was as great. In Russia, Poland, and thoSe parts of Germany which were connected with Poland, the agricultural distress was much greater, and in America it was as great as in this' country. Without entering into particulars, it might be as cribed in general terms to the artificial circuth stances, not of this country, but of the world, arising from the late war, which affected prOper- Or in a more extraordinary degree than any othe'r contest. But it was never to be forgOtten, that these evils had a tendency to work . their oWn cure, and that the disadvantage of Would be to interfere with these causes, and pre vent the natural order of things from taking place. He would allow that economy was the only safe remedy, as far as it could be safely carried iritb 'eff'ect.; but the Noble Lord did not clo . justice to the GoVernment for the reductions they had a:- ready effected. As long ago as 1817, a Cernalls sion was established to inquire into the CustOH!, by Which a saving of 80,000/a a 'Year waF.', effected, and a saving was in progress of 200,0001. a year 'more.--Upon another subject, which he . Waa; aware was a most important one, he meant - th'e Artny . a nd Navy, he agreed with the:Noble P2:71, that every reduction ought to be made Which was Consistent with the safety of the State. But then the Noble Earl did not always take . practicabi lity into his calculation in his plan of econoriit. 'lle had summed up;' for instanee, our naval for . ce, and stated that 81 sail of the line were sufficient for our naval establishment, without inenrirng further expellee by building others, and waking money on dock-yards, Sic. . Now, he (Lord' hi verpool) acknowledged that the number of sail of the line Was suffitient; but then he was nbt - to Suppose that force could be always stationary. If he had - referred to accounts which'were epz'n JO the ins:pection of 'every Noble Lord, he woad have fOund that the ship-building was necesselfy to supply the loss by wear and tear, and the'de cay: and ruin which ships Were liable 'to when laid up in dock, .as well as' when employe:- Like till earthly things, stags Mast 'wear out ; but if the machine never grew' old . ~ they cooltfdo without ship-building; as, however, this waa:*l - not the case,' there must, as loneas we had a navy at all, be an expence incurred tly the - Wasting and' wearing out of - ships. As to the principle laid down by the Noble Earl, .11S) perfectly agreed with him,• that 'Whatever touid be done in the way of reduction ought to be done, both in 'the Army and Navy ; but in 'his view of what was praaicable,. he had not taken into air . c •• ount the half-pay and allowanceS arising Mit . bf a state of qiis, and necessarily fixed for a certain time on tl - ,e country.
