clearly contrary to the principle of the Bill. The Ro man Catholic hierarchy had required that the students should attend Divine worship on Sundays. Now, with regard to the question as to whether there should be any religious instruction, he had no objection to the instruction of the Roman Catholic pupils by Roman Catholic priests. Certainly it was not wise to leave the pupils without any religious instruction. He had not sufficient acquaintance with the constitution of Trinity College, but he did not think that there should be any doubt as to what was to be the system pursued in it. Eith er th ey mus t o pen Trinity College, Dublin, to Roman Catholics as well as to Pro testants or they must altogether close it, and although he thought this college should be opened, yet it cer tainly was not wise to interfere with its present govern ment. Yet, notwith s t an di ng his objection to this, he thought that there should not be one sort of ed ucat i on in ferior, was the Protest an t s an d a n o ther, which though was good enough for Roman Catholics. On thisground. therefore, he thought that it would be advisable to make this provision for the religious education of the Catholics. Sir J. GRAHAM said that much had been said of opening Trinity College to all sects without distinction, but with certain minor restrictions Catholics were equally eligible with Protestants to be received into that University. The Noble Lord had argued as if it were a necessary part of the ecialomy of the intended Government colleges that students should re side in them. But this residence was not compulsory, but voluntary, and in contemplating such, they were actuated by several motives ; one to have the student: under the supervision of their superiors, and another to simplify the arrangements fer educational and domestic purposes. The Noble Lord's argument, he re peated, would have been unanswerable if the attendance of students at these halls vt ere compulsory ; but as that a.tendance was voluntary, his amendments were alto gether unnecessary. Mr. C. BULLER said that every alteration made in the Bill had deteriorated it, because it interfered with its original principle. He was ready to accept this Bill as it stood, on the assurance of Government that a un'versity system would be ultimately adopted for the college one now contemplated, because the real essence of a university education consisted in the power to give degrees, which would bo found exce'dingly useful afterwards to scientific men; and they could not expect, unless they gave this advan tage, that these colleges would be crowded with students. The Roman Catholics of Ireland had a right to an equally good education with that given in Trinity College, Dublin, and this plan would give them that. He had no desire to depreciate the advantages of moral and re ligioui training, but experience had shown that religion was not inculcated in their national universities. Why, a , hen he was himself at Cambridge, it was customary " to buy off" attendance at chapel, and it was a rule that gentleman commoners were asked to attend chapel only on Sundays, while pensioners were required to be there every day. It was monstrous. It seemed as if the souls of noblemen and gentlemen commoners did not require that watchful attention which was expended upon the lower classes of collegians. He remembered, also, a man being found reading a novel in chapel. One would suppose that his superiors would have said, " You are not in a prop er f rame o f m i n d to perce i ve the beau ties of Christianity," and they would have tried by rea soning to show him his error. But let the House mark the difference. That gentleman was, for the remainder of his terms, obliged to attend chapel morning and even ing. —(Laughter.) He regretted any alteration in the principle of this measure. The system had been found to work well in Scotland, and none in that House would undertake to say that the Scotch were a nation of Atheists. They could not be considered the least reli gious portion of the empire. There the students were not obliged to go to chapel, or to attend theological lec tures ; and he knew, f rom a f r i end of his who had studied in Edinburgh f or a year and a half, that a moral superintendence was exerted far superior to that of Ox ford or Cambridge. He was not compelled to attend chapel, but he was a resident in the house of a clergy man, where practical lessons of Christianity were taught him—(Hear, hear)—and so with the universities of Lom bardy. In Padua and Modena, the system was the very same with that of Edinburgh. He trusted that the Go v. rnment would not introdut e religious tuition into their Bill, because, as surely as they did so, the measure would he inefficient for Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) This was a scheme to give classical and scientific education to Ire land, let the parents or guardians look that their reli • gious education be attended to. He would support the original Bill, and he trusted that the Government would adhere to it. Sir R. H. INGLIS said that he should not then enter further into the discussion than to make a few observa tions on what had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who bad just sat down. In answer to his statement, and the cheers of other Hon. Members he had no hesitation in stating, that in no class of society had a greater improvment taken place than in the University which he had the honour to represent. With respect to this Bill, his great objection to it was that it excluded reli gion altogether, as a matter essentially connected with the interests of the States, and still more so as connected with its duties. The provision which the Bill proposed for securing a proper superintendence of the religious and moral instruction of the pupils was manifestly inade quate ; for it left to the president of each college the un controlled power of giving and withdrawinglicences to the masters of the boarding-houses, and there was no clause which required the master to see that the stu dents did their duty to God, by attending to divine worship, as well as their duty to man, by obedience to the laws of the land, and the laws of conventional morality. He would not now detain the House by re peating the further reasons which he had previously ex• plamed, in former discussions, for supporting the pro position of the Noble Lord the Member for London. Mr. BERNAL said that the reasons alleged by the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Oxford, for sup porting the amendment of his Noble Friend the Member for London, were precisely those which induced him to oppose the amendments. He warned, and implored the Government, if they wished the measure to succeed, to guard against being seduced into making it a religious Bill, which would excite against it an amount of popular hostility altogether unprecedented. He contended that this was not a proper moment for introducing a dis cussion as to the principle of the Bill. They were now considering only the propriety of introducing the word " halls" after the word " colleges." Having been himself a student at Cambridge, he was able to say from his experience that every attempt to enforce theological study must be a failure ; and in Ireland the attempt could have no chance whatever of success. Sir R. PEEL said that even after all that had been said by his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Oxford, he remained convinced of the importance of extending to those classes who had been hitherto excluded from it, the advantages of an academical education. He could not at the setae time admit, with the Hon. Gentleman opposite, that the discipline at Cambridge was the same now that it bad been thirty years ago. If the parents and guardians of children did not take care of their reli gious instruction any measure in that House would be completely absurd. Mr. SHEIL thought that the principle of the Bill was at stake. The Government thought that if they received the suggestion of the Noble Lord, they would make a secession equivalent to the abandonment of the measure. )Ie did not agree with his Hon. Friend the Member for NVeymouth on this subject. On other matters he would have difficulty in differing with him. Not only the Roman Catholic Bishops were unanimous with respect to the inoperation of this Bill, but every Roman Catholic Member in that House, and every Irish Member at his side of the House, concurred in his view that this mea • sure was ineffective —h e might almost say fatally so.— ("No." from Mr. Ross.) He would wish to except the Hon. Member for Belfast, where the religious education of the Presbyterians was provided for. And why not provide for the religious education of the Roman Catholics of Cork ? The Presbyterian clergy and laity received instruction in Belfast, both those who were in tended and those who were not intended for the Church. Those who would be Irishmen—with a single exception, the Member for Belfast —concurred in thinking the Bill to be defective. His Hon. Friend said, beware of exciting the people of England. He (Mr. Isheil) would say, beware of governing Ireland in conformity with the prejudices of the people of Eng land.—(Hear, hear.) The prejudices of the people of England were not to he held out to them, and he thought that the Minister of England would agree with him on that subject.—(Cheers and laughter.) They paid the Roman Catholic clergymen for attending the barracks and csarrisons of Dublin, and also for attending the sol diers wives, with the enormous salaries of 601. a year. The priest at Templemore was paid that for attending the barracks. He (Mr. Sheil) knew it, because he him self had made the suggestion to the Hon. Member for Coventry, and that sum was now paid. They paid the Raman Catholic clergy for attending the poorhouses, and in common conscience what was the reason why they did not pay Roman Catholic clergymen for attending in places of secular instruction in which spiritual instruc tion was peculiarly required ? He wanted their reason, and he wanted it specific and plain, and he could not forbear from making an observation, that th e y were con stantly saying that they were willing to pay the Roman Catholics, and he heard constant insinuations that the settlement of the Roman Catholic clergy was of paramount importance, and ought to be undertaken. It happened that in 1825 the Secre tary for the Home Department was not a Member of the House when Lord F. Egerton brought forward his motion, but he took the opportunity of stating that if he had been in Parliament be would have voted for it. The Secretary at War made a speech in favour of it, but they said that th- , Roman Catholic clergy would not take the money. They had paid on other occasions, and exhibited a desire to pay then, was that consistent with the present mea au; e? The Catholic Bishops asked them to appoint the clergy at the smallest pittances, but the Government weuid not appoint them. They said that thee feared the prejudices of the English people ; if such was the case, this would not be a message of peace, but would add to the long category Of prostrations which constituted toe governing tasiey of this country with respect to Ireland. Lord BERNARD made a few observations refer rii e, to the period of history when the Church of Rome became reunited with the Church of Ireland. He would be ready to admit the want et education that existed at all periods of time from that epoch to this moment. He knew the wi .its of the poorer &asses of the people at &bet present day ; but he would contend for it, that Trinity College was sufficient for all the pur poses of giving education to the middle classes, and then ..tablish societies for the education of the poorer classes, such as the Dublin Society. He (Lord B.) would not speak so much at length upon this subject but that be was intimately acquainted with that part of Ireland where, he believed, it was intended that one of these eolleges should be established. At a meeting held in Cork, at which the Hon. Member for Waterford pre sided, that Hon. Member declared that he was in favour of a system of education which should be based on religion, and that religion founded on the Scriptures; and a gentleman proposed a. resolution at that meeting to that effect, and if that should be acceded to in this Bill it should have his most cordial support; and he j hoped her Majesty's Government would agreeto the insertion of a clause having such an object in view. Before he sat down he would only say one word, and that was this, let the arguments in favour of this Bill, as well as those against it, stand or fall by their own merits. But if the real object of the Government was to improve the condition of the people of Ireland, by introducing capital into that country, by which to give employment to the labouring classes, who were the great majority of the people of that country that were really in want. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, before this discussion should go any further, he thought it right to say a few words, and then answer the question of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dungarvon. He begged to say he wished to be distinctly understood as declaring that he never did contemplate this or any other measure as a panacea for the ills of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Though he looked upon this measure as one of vast importance to that country, stint would be far from affording any ' thing like a means for an improved condition of the pliyiiienl wants of the labouring classes in that country. —(Hear, hear.) As to the question of the Right Hon. Member for Dungarvon, he did think that even in the Committee it would be well that the House should adhere to the principle of the Bill ; hut at the same time he should say that the point now under dia.- cussion would form an object for an ulterior amendment. —(Hear, hear.) With respect to what had been said ab• - mt having a department for the qualifications of chap lains, he would say that if the State were to adopt the domestic form of giving religious instruction, they could not fail to turn their attention to some of the schemes they had seen so intimately connected with that system. And this brought him again to the point in reference to the appointment of chaplains. The Hon. Member had said, " Let us know the intentions of the Government on this point ;" and he (Sir J. Graham) thought the Hon. Member was right in asking this question. If those chaplains were to be selected in ob , dience to the feelings of some persons in this country, he did not think it would be conducive either to the happiness or peace of ' the people of Ireland.— (Hear, hear.) This was his opinion, and this was the opi nion he had given expression to when voting on the Maynooth question on a former occasion, which, he was sorry to say, was a measure that had run counter to the opinion of the majority of the people of this country. Ile was not in Parliament in the year 1825, and, therefore, was not compromised by any vote come to by the House then ; but, when he was in Parlia ment, his vote on this question did not compromise his opinions. He did state that, personally, he should have no scruples on religious grounds in supporting such a grant, and, therefore, it was quite clear that, on reli gious grounds, he was not opposed to the appointment of those chaplains, and certainly was not swayed in his opinions by any servile adulation to the opinions of the people of England or of Scotland.— (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") But it had been asked, why not support now those appointments ? His answer was that such appointments would, in his opinion, extinguish every hope of establishing a good understanding in those institutions ; for if religious instruction be given in those colleges it should be either a social or a separate system of instruction. If it were to be a social system, then that should be clone to which on religious grounds he had an objection, namely, there should be a sort of distinction of religious opinions which would tend to introduce a republican system of religious instruction that would be most objectionable; therefore, he conceived that the instruction to be given in the colleges being founded on the plan of that of the national education would be the best, and religious in struction was not included in that system. He did think it would be of the last importance if the Pro testant and Catholic scholars could be instructed in one in titution, with a view to bring about a softening down of religious antipathies. But if the principle were ad mitted in the south of Ireland of giving religious in struction in the colleges, the Roman Catholic students should have Roman Catholic chaplains, and in common justice the Protestants students should have the same. So likewise should the Presbyterians and the Unitarians, and even the Jews perhaps would require a rabbi and a synagogue—(Laughter)—and all the other chaplains would require separate places of worship also. On these grounds he did think it would be better to avoid any of the inconveniences which would attend such a state of things, and which would in his opinion lead to a scene of chaos worse confounded. He had now stated his ob jection to this amendment, and he would conclude by saying that, if it should be carried, it would be incon sistent in p r i nc i p l e, f ata l in effect, and anything more injurious than the proposition of the Noble Lord he could not conceive. Mr. ROSS regretted being obliged to vote on this oc casion in opposition to those with whom he had been in the habit of concurring ; but he feared the proposition would be so injurious that he could not concur in it. Lord CLIVE did not think the amendment of the Noble Lord the Member for London involved the prin ciple of endowing these fabrics. It was merely intended to provide the buildings and nothing more. Mr. LEFROY opposed the amendment. He fully concurred with the lion. and Learned Member for Lis keard, in the view he had taken on this subject. Mr. BELLEW said that if this measure was fairly understood, he did not think thero would be much op position to it. Mr. ROEBUCK said that one observation of his Learned Friend the Member for Dungarvoa des rued more than ordinary notice. It was that Ireland was not to be governed by the prejudices of the people. In that opinion he fully concurred, good feeling amongst all should be preserved. The Honourable Member had asked, why the principle was not applied to the Englist, colleges? He answered, because that was not the best sys tem of education, which the circumstances of Engle allowed. Could they teach each separate sect, or could they endow every denomination which existed in this country ? Such a system would be impolitic and im practicable. As to the proposition of the Noble Lord (Russell) it struck at the very principle of the Bill ; the 17th clause gave th e p ower t o pr i vate individuas to erect halls in the college ; but for what purpose could chairs of theology be adopted in a college founded for mixed secular education ? Why should not a geological hall he established, where the author of "The Vestiges of Creation" could deliver lectures.—(A. laugh.) The Government proposition was simply an application to public utility of private money, but the amendment wholly contravened it. He gave his vote for the endow ment of'Maynooth on very different principles—he gave it in spite of its religion, not in consequence of it—and he was in favour of the present measure, because it acted upon his long-confirmed opinion of the superiority of independent secular education. The Government, in bringing it forward, had adopted not an irreligious, but a wise and a bold course. They had acted in opposition to the wishes—he must be allowed to say, the unjus tifiable prejudices of the country. They had despised fleeting applause—that applause which might have been naturally gratifying to them—but under a sense that it was a duty they owed themseves and their country, they had chosen a course which not only was creditable, but, he ventured to predict, would prove beneficial in its results.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL could not wonder at the support which the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath (Mr. Roebuck) gave the clause and the Bill ; he had always contended for secular education, and as different sects existed in the country for leaving out religion altogether, he must say that the Government measure carried out that principle to its fullest extent, and he was not surprised to find the Hon. Member delighted with its provisions.—(Cheers.) But the measure went further, it went to destroy the endowment of all religion, and controverted the principle of Government Church Esta blishments. Such was the doctrine laid down by the Right Hon. the Secretary of the Home Department (Sir J. Graham), a doctrine which the great advocates of the voluntary principle had ever contended for, but it was new to him to hear it from the Treasury benches. It struck at the root of all establishments, and hitherto bad been disavowed by the Ministers of State.—(Cheers.) The amendment he had proposed was much more limited than the Hon. Member for Bath (Mr. Roebuck) had as serted, it was rather, as the Noble Member for Shrop shire (Lord Clive) had stated, that as the Government erected halls for the secular education of all, so this would provide for religious instruction —(Loud cheers.) That was the mode in which he conceived it would operate. The Government had stated their wish to promote the erection of halls, such was the whole principle of the Bill, and his amendment merely went to promote religion as well as secular education ; if such a system was fatal to the measure, if religious in struction was considered contradictory of its whole de sign, its supporters must of course object to the nomina tion of Roman Catholics.—(Cheers.) It had been said, that if all the amendments taken together should be passed, the whole complexion of the Bill would be al tered. So he thought, but altered for the best.—(Loud cheers from the Opposition benches.) The Secretary fie. the Home Department had said that he (Lord John Russell) was in error in imputing an exclusive spirit to the constitution of Trinity College, Dublin.—("Hear, hear," from Sir J. Graham.) He was ready to admit that as to the permission of Roman Catholics to obtain an education there he had been misapprehended ; but from the fellowships Roman Catholics were excluded, and as to the four medical professors —one for botany, one for chemistry, and two others for medicine—the regulation was that they must be Protestants. It was only a short time sinee he had seen an advertisement in a Dublin paper, inviting competition for the chair of che mistry in the university ; besides other qualifications, it was there stated that the candidate must be Protestant. —(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") That he considered intolerance.—(Loud cheers.) Reli g i ous tests ought to be abolished. If a chemist, remarkable for his talent, and more especially for his proficiency in chemical re search, was to be considered incompetent to instruct others in science, he did not hesitate to say a bigoted and persecuted spirit dictated such a course—(Hear, hear)—and yet it was what those must support who re jectedclause upon the grounds of its being a recog nitionhis of religion in the measure. This clause he should press to a division ; but if unsuccessful, the other, of which he had given notice, he would withdraw. Sir R. INGLIS, in explanation, admitted that the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel) was right, and himself wrong in their interpretation of clause 16. Mr. 8. CRAWFORD wished to bear testimony to the truth of the Right Hon. Baronet's statement respects ing the Belfast Institution. No imputation was ever made from the religious education of the students being left in the hands of their parents. lie considered the measure involved the question of the national system of education—a system which had worked so successfully, and therefore opposed any proposition which would interfi re with its efficient working. He had opposed his own Church in defending this opinion, and should resist the Noble Lord's amendment even at the same risk. The House then divided, when there appeared — For the Amendment 42 Against Majority against the amendment —75 The clause was then. put and agreed to. Clauses 2,3, 4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9 were then read, and severally agreed to without discussion. On clause 10 being read, Mr. WYSE rose to object to it in its present form. It provided that the Government should have the appoint ment of the professors, not only in the first instance, but afterwards. There might be some reason, he admitted, in the Government having the first appointments, but not in the subsequent ones. Even as it regarded the first, he did net think that the Government ought to take any step without consulting the ecclesiastical au thorities at the head of the leading denominations in Ireland. Leaving, however, the first appointment out of consideration, he could not consent that any subsequent appointment should be vested in the hands of the Go vernment. In Scotland, the appointment of many of the professors was in the hands of the town councils of the cities in which the colleges were situated ; others were appointed by the head of the universities, or a ma jority of the professors. This practice worked well there. He thonght something of the kind would be better than vesting the patronage in the hands of the Government. On the continent, and even in the University of Dublin a similar mode prevailed to that Fe . was about to pro pose. He woulil now move as an amendment to this clause, " that on any future vacancy in the professorships of the intended colleges, such vacancy be filled up by sueh candidates as, after due public examination, before competent examiners hereafter to be appointed, shall be declared by them (beir,g otherwise qualified by character and conduct) to be the most competent to the duties of such professorships." Sir R. PEEL thought that the better system would be to treat each of these questions separately. It did appear to him that there was no difference between the Government and the opinions of the Hon. Gentleman. He did look forward to the time when these colleges might grow into a university. The question was, what was to be done in the interim. They thought that it would be unadvisable to take the power out of the hands of the Crown of appointing the professors. There was certainly nothing to prevent the Crown constituting a Board in Dublin to investigate the qualifications of the professors. It might be desirable that there should be a great competition for the fellowships, and with respect both to these and the professorships, they must adopt the principle of competition, or they must leave it to the responsibility of some authority to appoint to both. He thought it better to avoid everything like favouritism, and he had no doubt but those colleges would hereafter give the supply to those colleges themselves. He could isonceive that no greater stimulus could be given to young men than the prospect of one day filling those professor ships under which they had studied. The colleges had to be founded and built, and after the appointment of the first professors, say in 1848, the attention of Parliament might be directed to the subject. Above all things, it was necessary to avoid everything like party spirit, and he did hope that, in the first place, the appointment of those professors would be left to the Crown. Lord EBRINGTON thought that it was necessary to see their way in the appointment of these professors, for what had been the conduct of the Government in respect of the National Church and the Board of Edu cation. He must confess, that to him it was of a very dubious character, and he did not exactly like these sudden alterations in the mode of proceedings, and he somewhat distrusted these general expressions of good will to the people of Ireland, which might mean any thing or nothing. In respect to the Board of Edu cation, he remembered that it was about eighteen months before the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had shown himself there, and he must say that he was anxious to see that the intentions of the Government were explicitly stated. Mr. O'CONN ELL rose to object to the clause before the House. He would recommend the House to keep a close hand on the powers sought to be obtained by Go vernment in this matter. The Right llon. Baronet had boasted of the success which had attended the Charitable Bequests Bill. He (Mr. O'Connell) did not think that the success which had attended that Committee was so marked as the Right Hon. Baronet seemed to think it. With respect to this clause, he objected to it because it gave an unlimited authority to the Government to ap point to everything and to remove those whom they had so appointed without any cause. There was not the slightest restriction on them. They were not even re quired to name their eleves. The House should have the name and number, and the power given to each. The Bill as it at present stood had been viewed with abhorrence by the priesthood of Ireland. He had heard it said that the Government were deserving of the confidence of the Irish people, but since they came into office what had they done for Ireland ? Had they not appointed to the offices in Ireland, persons the most opposed to the in terests of the Irish people ? Had they not appointed bishops, the most inveterate in their hostility to the prin ciples of the Roman Catholic Church ? Had they, in fact, appointed a single liberal in Ireland ? Had they not rather deprived of the magistracy in Ireland those gentlemen who were anxious to have an independent Parliament for their own country ? And yet the Right Honourable Baronet called upon the Irish Members to give him their unlimited confidence in every thing. He was opposed to the clause. _ _ Sir J. GRAHAMsaltithe Goiernment neither asked nor expected any compliment at the hands of the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork. They had endeavoured to consult the best interests of the country, in the ap pointments made in Ireland. The Hon. Member for Waterford (Mr. Wyse) bad eulogised the system pur sued in Scotland, of electing the professors to their uni versities, but that system, he was perfectly certain, could not be pursued in Ireland, and for many reasons. He had stated more than once, that all the regulations of the colleges would be such as to prevent any religious jealousy. In the course of a few years, Parliament would be enabled to judge of the efficacy of the system, and to alter if it could not approve of it. He hoped that the Honourable Member for Waterford would not press his clause. After a few words from Mr. WYSE i❑ explanation, Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. Fox MAULE supported the proposition of the Government. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said, that if they did not cha.ige t'te present form of the Bill, whatever steps they might take to pass it, they would not satisfy the people. Mr. SHEIL said that they had a perfect model in Trinity College, Dublin. They were considering two methods, one was a selection by means of public com petition, and the other was by the choice of the Crown. Which was the best ? In the former case they would be selecting men of known experience, and in the other instance they would become objects of suspi cion, no matter how pure were their motives. Their appointments might in future be good, but their past appointments deserved a vast deal of con demnation. Taking the appointments in the bench and in the church in the aggregate—there were no doubt some exceptions—they were not such as to conciliate the people of Ireland. Vv ere they to trust to experience or to hope?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SHAW said there was an erroneous impression as to the amount of emolument given to fellows. It was stated by an Hon. Member opposite to amount to 2,0002, but it only amounted to 1,500/ Do what the Govern ment might, the gentry of Ireland, Roman Catholic as well as Protestant, would still send their children to the Dublin University. He had no doubt these new colleges would supply the want that now existed for an interme diate education, and it would keep nearer home many who were now too young to be sent to Trinity College, but who were now obliged to go there. He had heard the Hon. Member for Waterford say that a system of practical education was wanted for Ireland, such as for qualifying for engineers, &c., and in that expression he fully concurred, and so far these new institutions would be valuable. Lord J. RUSSELL said he should confess that as they got on with this subject not much light was thrown upon it by the arguments elicited. The First Lord of the Treasury said that Ireland should have a new university at which a certain degree of education would be con ferred, but from all he had heard on this point he should say he was not much enlightened by it. It appeared that the Dublin University was one in which only the higher classes in Ireland were educated ; but he did think the system followed in that in stitution should be better defined than it had been. He did not think the Right Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down need despair of finding men who were in favour of the existing system of national education in Ireland, to fill any vacancy that might occur in the bench of Bishops. He would be ready to support his Hon. Friend with regard to the words at the end of the clause, and he would vote for leaving them out. Lord J. MANNERS would be prepared at the proper time to vindicate the course the Irish Bishops had taken on the subject of national education in Ireland. The Committee then divided— For the amendment . Against it Majority against the amendment, —96 Sir HENRY W. BARRON then moved the following amendment to the same clause (10):—That, previous to the first appoiatment of any rector, president, head of college, or professor, under this Act, the Board of Edu cation in Ireland shall have power to present three names to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who must select one of the said persons to fill such office. He wished to press the amendment on the attention of the House. Sir JAMES GRAHAM observed that he was greatly afraid that the amendment proposed by the Hon. Gen tleman would have a tendency very considerably to diminish the efficacy of the Board. He was satisfied if the amendment were carried one or two Members would refuse to act ; and he therefore trusted that it would not be pressed. 'the amendment was then put and negatived without a division. The original motion was then put, that clause 10 stand part of the Bill, on which the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion 129 Against it Majority for the motion —los Clauses 11, 12, and 13 were then read and agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and asked leave to sit again to-morrow (this day). The House then resumed. SEAMENS' BILL, On the motion that the House resolve itself into Cora mittee on this Bill, Mr. \Yawn, Mr. Foster, Dr. Bovvring, and several other Hon. Members, objected to going into Committee at such a late hour of the night. Sir C. NAPII4:R was in favour of going into Commit tee, as the measure was one that ought not to be delayed. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when the numbers were— For going into Committee Against it 22 Majority —43 The Chairman reported progress, and asked leave to sit again on Wednesday. FOREIGN LOTTERIES. On the motion of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, The Foreign Lotteries_Bill was read a second time. STATUTE LABOUR (SCOTLAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply. Lord PALMERSTON wished to know in what state the completion of the contract stood with respect to the supply of muFkets ? Captain BOLDER() said that 14,000 had been com pleted out of the contract. Lord PALMERSTO wished to know what mea sures had been taken for ensuring the defence of the dockyards ? The system of steam navigation had en tirely altered the whole of the practice of naval warfare, and he thought that some provision ought to be made to meet it. Sir R. PEEL said that votes had already been taken on this point, both in the ordnance and navy estimates. What they were precisely he would not say, but the engineers were, at the present moment, engaged at Sheerness, Chatham, and Dover, in ascertaining what the state of those ports was, and as soon as they had finished their duty they would officially report to the Government. Sir C. NAPIER wished to know whether any means were to be taken for organising the coast-guard and fishermen along the coast as sea-fencibles, as had been done in former years. It wac a matter of great import amp, and ought to be attended to. Sir R. PEEL said that there was no point which hid not been attended to by the Government; but vwhether any measures would be taken for the organisation of the sea fencibles, he could not at the present moment say. The report on supply was then brought up, and the items severally read. DOGS BILL. On the motion of Mr. LIDDELL, the Dogs Bill was read a third time, and passed. LITgATICS BILL Mr. M. SUTTON moved that the Hon3e do go into Committee on the Lunatics 13111. _ Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected. He thought the Bill had not been properly examined by Hon. Members and should, therefore, take the sense of the House on the subject before the Speaker should leave the Chair. Mr. M. SUTTON said that if the Bill were not then proceeded with, it could not possibly be read on Wed nesday, and failing that day, he did not see that any other day could be given for the purpose. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE did not wish the Bill to come on at all. He thought it would be better to have a Par liamentary inquiry, as there had been none since 1816 on the subject, and many abuses had crept into the whole system of treatment of lunatics since that time. Then a Bill greatly superior :to the present might be brought in in the course of next session. The House went into Committee, pro forma, and then resumed. FRAME-WORK KNITTERS. Sir HENRY HALFORI) said that on to-day he should move that the House resolve itself into Com mittee to consider the alterations necessary to be made in the Act 5 Geo. IV. cap. 6, with the view of benefiting the frame-work knitters. ALLEGED MISCONDUCT AT TIIE BOARD OF ORDNANCE. Mr. HAWES moved the following Select Committee on the South-Eastern Railway petition :—Mr. Hawes, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Roebuck, Lord Worsley, Mr. llayt , r, Mr. Tancred, Mr. T. Duncomhe, Lord Ashley, Mr. Pakington, Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Vernon, Mr. Tatton Egerton, Sir R. 11. Inglis, Mr. Liddell, and Sir Charlss Douglas. Sir G. CLERK requested (as we understood) that the request of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Member for Oxford, that his name might be erased, and that of Col. Wood substituted.—Agreed to. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twenty minutes past One. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (YESTERD AY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. LEEDS AND THIRSIE LINE. The Committee, consisting of the Duke of Grafton, Lord Col_ borne, the Bishop of Rochester, the Marquis of Ormonde, and Lord de Lisle and Dudley, met at eleven o'clock, Lord Colborne in the chair. This line met with strong opposition before the Committee of the House of Commons, P. M. Stewart. Esq., M.P., in the chair, It was before the same Committee, and in opposition to this line, that the Ripon and Harrogate line was brought under considera tion, and which, after many days' investigation, was suddenly with. drawn one morning, to the surmise of the Committee, who found that their time had been occupied for several days in a most useless manner. The subject was subsequently brought under the notice of the House of Commons, and it was alleged that there was some gambling connected with it of no creditable cha racter. The principle opponents in the Commons to the Leeds and Thirsk line were the Ripon and Harrogate line, already mentioned, the Earl of Cardigan, and Mr. Dynely. Lord Cardigan's opposition was in consequence of the line passing so near a beautiful old ruin, Kirkatall Abbey, on his property, and which his Lordphip has taken the pains of an antiquarian to pre serve. The promoters of the line, however, diverted it, so as to render its proximity to the abbey as little disadvantageous as possible to the picturesqueness of the scenery. . . _ . . . There were some landowners in opposition to the scheme, but their mouths were stopped with gold. The only remaining oppo. nents were the agents of Mr. Dynely, who were again in opposi. tion to-day. Mr. Dynely is a lunatic under the guardianship of the CoLet of Chancery. It was by the Lord Chancellor's directions that Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., appeared in opposition to the line at the Corn. mons and before their Lordships to-day. His opposition is grounded on this fact. The line passes contiguous to the village of liramhope, siz. mils. from Leeds, and. would, it was alleged, de.. stroy some valuable springs with which that town Is supplied with water. Mr. BAINER, Q C., offered to insert clauses in the Bill guarantee. ing an ample supply of water to the town in case the excavations from the line interfered with the springs in question. The terms offered were not considered satisfactory, and hence the appearance before their Lordships. These facts having been stated, the Noble CHAIRMAN said he really thought it would be much better if the parties would with. draw and arrange the matter privately, as it was more a matter of private arrangement than for judicial interference. The Counsel agreed that this would be the most desirable course, and withdrew to confer. It may be mentioned that the line will connect some of the most important towns of the north of England—Wigan, Bolton, Itoch. dale, and others of the same rank; It passes through one of the most fertile coal beds in that district, and if the traffic tables laid before the Commons' Committee were at all accurate, these can be no doubt but the line will be a most useful and successful specu lation. The investigation of the line before the Commons' Committee occupied ten days, when the preamble was at length declared proved. Upon returning to the room counsel seemed as far from agree ment as ever, and two hours more were occupied in wrangling about guarantees for a proper supply of water to Bramhope. The Noble CHAIRMAN suggested that the whole matter might be settled by constituting the Recorder of Leeds as arbitrator whenever a difference should arise between the directors of the railway and the trustees of Mr. Dynely in regard to a deth.,e,:cy in the supply of water to the town. After another hour spent in disputing upon speculative contin gencies, the Committee ordered the room to be cleared. After the lapse of a few minutes the doors were opened, and The CHAIRMAN declared that the Committee were of opinion that the guarantee offered by the promoters of the Bill was a fair one, and that the clauses they proposed to insert in the Bill were of a satisfactory character. The Committee then went through the clauses pro formd, and broke up. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. Their Lordships resumed the consideration of this line to-day. Earl Radnor in the chair. Mr. Hope Johnston, M.P., examined by Mr. FonaYTH, for the promoters of the Bill, deposed at great length to the merits of the undertaking, and in cross-examination by Mr. ANDREWS, Q. C, who represented the Dumfries line, spoke to the great advantages Which the extension of the line between Dumfries and POrtpatrick Weuld confer on the latter town. The CHAIRMAN observed that he thought it wholly un necessary to enter into any particulars in reference to the communication with Portpatrick, as a project for connecting that town with Dum fries, was common to both schemes, and therefore whichever was approved by the Committee would complete the extension if re quired. Mr. ANDREWS, Q.C., urged that the communication with Port patrick was an integral and most important portion of their propo sition ; and, although it had been negatived in its progress before the Commons Committee, it now appeared in precisely the same position as if they possessed a Bill. aansidrntilial: wsihtuoaie i,ne t here was no t y h c e o could Caledonian npro c ee d i n l lion, The fo rC if n a thet aita Committee dissented. r e might possibly be left unaccommodated . jec T ted he After a desultory conversation between coun se l and the Com cgoumarmanutneietythat the other line would ever mittee, it was decided that no evidence should be received relat ing to the communication between Dumfries and Portpatrick. Mr. Pare, the traffic taker, handed in the traffic tables, and entered into details of the income expected from the assumed quantity of goods employing the line for transit, Evidence confirmatory of the accuracy of the traSc tables and other formal proof was then given. Mr. James Baird, an extensive iron -muter, whose works would be intercepted by the Caledonian Railway, bore testimony to the importance of that line to the blasts and furnaces, forty-six of which it would Immediately pass. The Committee, at four o'clock, adjourned till twelve to-morrow. HOUSE OF COM3IONS. GROUP A, On the meeting of the Committee this morning at the usual hour, the Chairman said that Mr. Nl`Ge ac h y was st ill una ble to attend, and that the busine ss must therefore proceed in his absence. Mr. Coca BtlelN then addressed the Committee on the part of the promoters of the SOUTH-EASTENtn Li/cm, and said as he could not speak ag a i nst th e two lines, the North Kent and the London at the and Croydon, same time, he would first po int out the superiority of the South-Eastern to the former, whi he considered the most formidable antagonist, and then to the latter. Mr. Cockburn then described the course of the two lines from London to Chatham, and dwelt at some length on the distance of the Woolwich station from the town, and the consequent want of accommodation to the in habitants. Mr. Cockburn at referred to the manner in which the proposed line would pass Woolwich, the evidence concerning which has been published from time to time in the columns of The Sun. The Learned Counsel then read over the whole of the correspondence on this subject , w hich had been put i n i n ev id ence by Mr. Sergeant W ra ngham on the part of the North K en t C ompany, and particularly the letters of Mr. Hignet, which p ro f esse d to contain the consent of the Board of Ordnance to the proposed deviation beyond the ordinary limits. These papers had been prepared h -Y Mr. Hignet without the acqui. escenco of the Master-General of the Board, and there fore were of no value. It was evident that the clauses had been prepared by Mr. Hi gnet at the direction of some person con nected w th the North K ent line, but on Mr. Stevens (the solicitor to the North Kent line) examining them, he saw that they were not sufficient, as it was necessary to have the direct and writtcii consent of the Board, and not merely an implied consent in the clauses. Mr. Hignet, th ere f ore, wrote to Mr. Stevens a letter, in which he said that h e was directed to communicate to Mr. Stevens the consent of the Board to any necessary deviation. The authen. ticity of this paper having bee n i mpugned by the South-Eastern Company, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham had called as a witness Mr. Bingham, the Secretary to the Board, eliciting from him evidence with regard to other pa pers entirely uncon nected with the subject, b ut on this witness being examined as to the letter in question he said that it had not received the appro. bation of the Board. After dwelling on this subject, Mr. Cock burn referred to the evidence with regard to Messrs. Hall's mills. This part of the evidence has also been given at length in The Sun. Mr. Cockburn urged the importance of the evidence on the subject of the estimate: of the two lines at some length, and pointed out the fact, that no doubt had been thrown, either in the examination or cross-examination of wit. nesses, on the estimates of the South-Eastern line, though evidence bad been brought forwerd by theta to prove the WWI. ciency of Mr. Vignolles' estimates. He compared the South- Eastern and London and Croydon lines, and pointed out in detail what he considered the advantages of the former. Mr. AUSTIN said that it was now his duty to address the Corn. mittee on the part of the London and Croydon (Atmospheric) line, but that, as it was already half-past three o'clock - Here Mr. GOLDSMITH rose, and was about to say that he trusted the Committee would - When Mr. AUSTIN requested that his friend would uot begin to trust so soon, as he might find his confidence misplaced.—(A laugh.) He had to call the attention of the Committee to a set of figures, very dry, Ltd very important, to which he would pre. fer to direct their morning and not their afternoon attention. If the Committee wished it, he would have no objection to their meet ing at hall-past eleven o'clock to-morrow. The CHAIRMAN assented, and the Committee adjourned till half. past eleven to-morrow. GROUP K. CAMBRIDGE AND BURY LINE. The Committee resumed this day at noon, Viscount Sandon in the chair. Mr. Pare, the fraffic taker, corrected several items In his tables as put in on Friday last, every particular in one, and almost every particular in the other schedules were altered ; and in answer to a searching examination by Mr. Ric►rdo, the witness admitted his inaccuracy, and the conflicting statements of witnesses as prior and subsequent to examination. Mr. GIRDEN complained of the inconvenience to the opponents of the Bill from the traffic tables being continually altered without obtaining any previous Intimation of the change. Mr. Duncan, solicitor, the law clerk of the Eastern Counties Railway, in examination by Mr. TALBOT, Q C., deposed to the prospective opening of the Cambridge and Ely line on the 9th inst. The income of the Eastern Counties Company is 5,0001. a week, or a produce of 260,000/. annually • deducting 104,0001., being 40 per cent., for working expenses, the sum of 156,0001. remained to pay engagements with other lines. As lessees of the Northern and Eastern Railway they paid 47,000/. a year for its use to Bishops Stortford, leaving 09,0001. as a guarantee of the rental of the present projected line between Cambridge and Bury. The order of priority of claim, in the event of the line being granted, and its lease effected, would be Ely and Peterborough No. 1 Stock, and Cambridge and Bury No. 2 stock, and those claims must be all satisfied before the Share. holders received any returns or dividend whatever The construc tion of the line was estimated to cost 330,000/., which would be raised by a subscription of Si. per cent. on the subscribed capital of 660,000/. of the Eastern Counties Railway. IMPORTANT DECISION. Mr. George Ress proved the number of assents, dissents, and neuters on the line, the mileage traversed over whose land being twelve miles seven furlongs, six miles three furlongs, and two fur longs respectively. The case of the promoters having thus concluded, Mr. GULDEN addressed the Committee at some length in opposi tion to the Bill, commenting on the insufficiency of the evidence more especially as regarded the traffic and estimated returns, and urging on the Committee the propriety of postponing the project till another session. Mr. RAWLINSON, on behalf of the Duke of Rutland, Mr. Alix, M.P., and other landowners, followed on the same side, denying that the wants of the country warranted such a project, and therefore, inasmuch as property was recklessly invaded, and all the landowners opposed to it, it ought to be negatived by the Committee. Mr. CALVERT, on the part of Mr. Thorpe, whose estate was tra versed and allegedly injured by the line, also followed in opposition to the Bill. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and after a pro 'racted consultation, the Committee decided that they would ad journ till the 22d of July, to enable them to give this project the same opportunities as that accorded the Bury and Thetford. The substance of this adjournment is a suspended negative to the Bill, but giving it the benefit of any sessional resolution which, in the interim might be passed for the convenience of Bills not re ported on, and in case the project should be re-introduced. GROUP L. SOUTH-WESTERN BRANCHES POR.TSMOUTH GROUP. The Committee resumed this morning at twelve o'clock by ad journment from Friday last, when it will be remembered by our readers that the Committee decided that so much of the pre amble of the South-Western Company's Bill should be allowed as went to make a line from Guildford to Godalming and also from Fareham to Portsea. The Guildford and Godalming branch was first taken, and the clauses were allowed up to the point where the junction at Godal ming with the Direct Portsmouth line was required, when a dis pute arose as to the way in which this was effected, when it was ultimately decided, according to the wish of the Committee, to give as much public accommodation as possible. A clause was then drawn up for effecting this purpose. After some discussion the Junction at Fareham was agreed upon without the station being fixed, and without any reciprocal right being conceded for travelling on the lines between Chichester, Fareham, and Portsmouth. The other clauses were passed through, and the Committee adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. There are other clauses yet to pass, but there are no questions of main interest to adjudicate, and thus has terminated a contest of more than six weeks' duration, in which several Queen's counsel, two or three sergeants-at-law, and a large portion of the junior bar have been engaged—a contest in which the highest forensic skill, experience, energy, and determination: have been shown to carry the object of their retainers. And whether we look at the pertinacity of the parties engaged, the importance of the interests to the public—not the mere dwellers on the line, but to all engaged in the freedom of intercourse between dif ferent parts of the empire—is of immense importance. It may be transgressing our province, but we feel that we should be inadequately doing justice to those who have been engaged in this contest if we were not to bear testimony to the pains-taking and public-spirited industry and disinterestedness which the Com mittee have evinced for the. public interests. Whether we look at the forensic ability of the counsel engaged, at the acuteness of Mr. Morikton Milnes, the mathematical attainments of Mr. Oswald, the scientific acumen of Mr. Vivian, the perspicacity of Lord Clive, or the honest Yorkshire independence, and practical, busi. ness, and intelligent qualities of the Chairman, we are bound to state that a more admirable concert of qualities, both mental and moral, could rarely he brought to bear on the decision of any great c aveate queation feet assured that. in no instance were public interests more efficiently preserved. They have provided three different accesses to Portsmouth, have given the inhabitants of that town three different routes for reaching the metropolis, be sides developing the facilities and resources of the country to the east, west, and north, and giving, though indirectly, addition of guarantee to a new motive power in the already gigantic railway system. In every point of view, both national and provincially commercial, the decision of this Committee must prove of immense utility, and be certain to elevate the respect of the country for its Legislature, and increase its confidence in the honesty and ability elite public functionaries. The other dames will be gone through to.xaorrow, and the two other lines will then be taken. GROUP X. CA.IVIDRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. The Committee met to-day at twelve °Mock, when Mr. Winberry was called to prove certain returns which he had obtained from the Stamp-office on the 7th of June, in reference to the coach traffic. Ile read the numbers from a return of a list of the coaches in the Stamp-office returns of the 31st of May, 1845, not included in the London and York table. The coaches were as follows h—One from London to Welwyn ; one from York to Doncaster, two from Doncaster to Askeon, a distance of six miles north ; one running two days and another six ; one from Don caster to Sheffield ; that went from Doncaster to Bawtery, and then on by the Sheffield branch ; one from Doncastetto Wake fleld ; two from Lincoln to Gainsborough ; one from Newark to Stamford; two from Boston to Spalding; this list was made since the last table was given in ; those last two began in July 1844 ; none of those were included in the tables already put in ; was quite sure of that. _ _ ....... Mr. Hl'D' ARD said he asked the latter question, as he intended to produce evidence to contradict the answer. Wit ness then proceeded. The next was a coach from Boston to Wisbeach ; the next from Boston to New Hol. land. Is not aware that a Bill has passed both Houses of Parliament for the formation of a line from New Holland to Market-rasen. The next was a coach from Lincoln to New Hol. land; this coach stopped in October last, and began again in July. The next were two coaches from Boston to Leicester. The next, a coach from Worksop to Eckington. Mr. Parks was then called on behalf of the Cambridge and Lin coln line to rebut this evidence. He deposed that none of those coaches were running at the time stated. He found that three only of them bad commenced since April, 1844 ; one began in June. 1844; one in August, 1844; and one in May, 1845. In the next instance there were six coaches out of the 17, none of which were running in May at all, and were not running now at all, except one, which commenced in June, but was not running now. Witness had taken all this from the Stamp-office returns, to which the London and York had the same access that he had. In the next instance none of the coaches mentioned by Mr. Winberry were in his (Mr. P.'s) list. In the next there were two coaches running in September last, which had not been included in the London and York table; and he also found two coaches had been put in those tables which he could not find in the Stamp-office returns. In the next case the London and Welwyn coach was run. ning in May, but not in June 1844. Did run in July, August, and September, but not in October, or any other month of 1844, and performed only three journeys in May, 1845. The next, that between York and Doncaster, stopped in February and March, and began in April, and was running in May, 1845. The next, that from Doncaster to Askcrton, that was stopped in September, 1844; was not running in May, 1845, but began again in June of this year. The next, another coach on the same line, was running in April, 1844, stopped in July, and was running in May, 1845. The next, that from Doncaster to Sheffield, had been omitted in the London and York tables, as were also the coaches numbered 8,864, 8,873, and 8,891. The coach from Boston to Spalding stopped in Sep tember, 1844, and was not running in May, 1845. The next, , that from Boston to Wisbeach, stepped in January, 1845, and did not run since. The next, that marked 8,811, commenced running in April, 1845, and stopped in May; it had not been running before. Those two marked 8,861 and 8,862 had been omitted from the London and York tables. The last mentioned in the list were not running in 1844, but were now. CLOSE OF THE CAMBRIDGE AND LIN COLN LINE. When the cross-examination of this witness had concluded, Mr. HILDYARD rose and said he was happy to 1?e able to state that this long-protracted case had at length come to a c'ose, at least very nearly so, for he trusted that much addition would not be made to it by the observations he had to make. He then pro ceeded 0 state the case which he conceived he had made out, and contrasted it with that of the London and York case. Mr. Ausvx followed, and contended that there was a fatal ob. jection to the London and Yotic Bill, inasmuch as the deed of set tlement was not a valid document, because it was originally pro. posed that the capital of the Company was to be 5,000,0001., whereas they now asked for 6,500,0001., and, therefore, either the decd was valid or it was not. If it was valid it was valid only to the amount of 5,000,0001., and, therefore, those who signed it were not liable for the payment of more than such a proportion of the amount they subscribed for as would make 5,000,000/. ; either that or they were not legally liable for one farthing. Mr. Sergeant WitANGRAM contended that this was an objection which should have been raised before the Committee on standing orders ; and that not having been done, he contended the objection came in too late now. The question was then argued at great length, and occupied the Committee until ten minutes past six o'clock, when— The CHAIRMAN said the Committee would not decide the point until tomorrow. The Committee adjourned till tomorrow, [ADVERTISEMENT.]—To the Ladies.—lt is uni versally acknowledged by every one of taste that how ever beautiful a woman may be, if her hair is deficient either in quantity, quality, or colour, one of her greatest charms is wanting.

FUST delivered judgment in this case this morning. fin commenced by reading a pamphlet written by Mr. Oakley, minister of the chapel of St. Margaret's, to the Lord Bishop of London, in which Mr. Oakley claimed the right of entertaining the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, though not the right of teaching them as a minister of the Church of England. The Learned Judge having gone through the greater part of the pamphlet, and commented thereon, stated that it was quite evident that it was the Roman Church which was alluded to by Mr. Oakley. The question then for him to consider was, whether the Church of Rome differed in its doctrines from the Church of England, and if it did, what was the distinction. The Court would look at the articles, not going through them all, bat merely touching •n the leading articles. They were drawn up in direct opposition to the Council of Trent. The foundation of the doctrines of the Church of England mainly rested upon the Scriptures, but the Roman Catholic Church added traditions to the Scriptures, and treated them with part effectu with the Scriptures themselves. The decree of the first four Councils were received, be cause they were consistent with the Scriptures, and the decrees of the latter were rejected, because they were not founded on the Scriptures. Mr. Oakley also seemed to convey that the Council of Nic a and the Council of Trent were entitled to the same authority. Assuming that new heresis had sprung up, he would not suppose the Church to be silent on such occasions. The Church which he spoke of was no doubt the Roman Church, for these were Councils of that Church, and the doctrines there laid down wero recognised by the Pope of Rome. This was the manner in which he thinks it consistent with his duty to speak of the Reformers, by whose assistance the yoke of the Church of Rome was thrown off. He claimed the right to hold all the Roman doc trines laid down by the Councils of Trent and Nice since the sixth century. That certainly was to be the interpretation of his letter Then came the question as to what were the doctrines of the Roman Church which were opposed to those of the Church of Eng land. In the first place, he says that he subscribed to the 39 Articles. Mr. Oakley declared, as part of his belief the whole of the Roman doctrines; consequently he affirms his belief in the doctrine of purgatory, which is in direct contrariety to the belief of the Church of England, as it was not to be found in the Scriptures. That beliet was quite repugnant to the articles of the Church of Eng land. Then as to the sacraments, the Church of England only rest• tnised two sacraments. There were, however, seven to be bell tved by the Romish Church under the penalty of anathema, as ,►as to be found in the seventh section of the Council of Ta ,nt. So early as before the year 1476 were these set forth by the Council. The next article was the question as to the Lord's Supper, to which the thirteenth section of the Council referred. The Church of England affirmed that transubstan tiation was not to be proved by the Scriptures, and that suet) a belief was repugnant to Holy Writ. The Council f Trent contradicted positively that affirmation that it was not founded on the Scriptures. The sixth canon declared that, on being consecrated, the bread and wine became con verted into the body and blood of Christ. How was Mr Oakley to show that these were not conflicting doctrines? It was impos • Bible that he could. Consequently he claims the right of affirming doctrines opposed to those of the Church of England; and, as a nai nister of that Church, he was liable to censure. If, then, in any case, surely in this case the Court should give a severe sentence. He would revoke Mr. Oakley's license for preaching in the chapel of St. Margaret's, and prohibit him from the performance of any ministerial office in that chapel, or in the diocese of London, or within the province of the Court, until he shall have repented himself of his errors, and declared Isis readineas to retract, and did retract these errors ; and must, as a matter of course, also condemn him to the costs occasioned by the proceedings, and order his sentence to Vi published on Sun• slay next at the chapel of St. Margaret's. COMMISSION OF LUNA( Y. On Thursday, a Commission of Lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow and a jury of eighteen gentlemen of the county of Surrey, of which Thomas Puckle, Esq., was fore man, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, to inquire nto the state of mind of Saville Godfrey, Esq., aged 74. de scribed in the commission as of No. 10, Mount-gardens, Lam beth, gentleman. The commission was taken out by Messrs. Hayward, father and son, first cousins of Mr. Godfrey, who in early life was an eminent boat-builder, at Stangate, and latterly known to the aquatic world under the firm of Godfrey and Searle. There appeared to be no doubt as to the insanity of the unfor tunate gentleman. It was the custom with Mr. Godfrey to meet his family every Christmas, and he generally took the chair on time festive occasions, doing the honours of the table in the most becemin ,, tnanuer. At the Christmas, 1842, a visible chan7e took place. In.tead of sit ting at the head of the table, the chair was taken by Master Coombes, a youth of 16, and during the feast, Mr. Godfrey mixed brandy with wine, to drink the health of the ladies. He was then tremulous, and was soon taken from the room. From this time he acted in a strange manner, and laboured under the impression that he saw figures in the trees, and that men were in the house. Dr. Sutherland saw him on the 29th of April, when he was decidedly insane. He was of opinion that his mind might hare been affected in 1842, from the evidence he had heard, but it might not have developed itself until a later period. Mr. Godfrey was iritrotiuced, and soon gave sufficient evi dence of an impaired intellect. The case was about to be opened on the part of the lunatic by Mr. Coombes, when— The foreman of the jury said they (the jury) thought they could save time and expense to all parties if they were allowed to consult for a short time together. After some considerable confusion among all parties, the room was cleared, and on its being re-opened, The Foreman said the jury were all agreed to the following verdict :—" That Saville Godfrey is of unsound mind, and had been so from the 29th of April, 1845."

PUGILISM.-THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND. - The great fight between Caunt, the present champion, and Bendigo for the champion's " belt," and for 4001. (2001. a side) is appointed to come off on the 9th of September. At a meeting of the ad mirers of pugilism, held on Tuesday last, at Spring's, the fifth deposit was made, and the sixth appointed to be made that day fortnight. Both men, It is expected, will shortly commence active training. RAILWAY SPEED TN FORTUNE-MAKING.—A re markable instance of the rapidity of moneymaking by speculation in railway shares is to be found —being but one among hundreds of others of a similar nature, though, perhaps, not equal in extent— in the curious and bulky return just laid before the House of Com mons, being an alphabetical list of the names, &c., of persons sub scribring to the amount of 2,0001. and upwards to any railway sub scription contract, for the present session. The case in question is that of Mr. Hudson, of York. One of the lines to which be sub scribed, as stated in the above-mentioned return, is the Newcastle and Berwick Railway. In that line he is returned as the holder of no fewer than 8,000 shares. Upon each of those shares a deposit of 30s. has been paid, making thus a sum of 12,009/. actually ex. pended. They are now, however, at a high premium in the market; Mr. George Hudson being able to procure in the market at the least 171. per share premium. Thus, he could obtain 181. 10s., or more, for every share for which he paid only 11. 1 Os. The profit upon this one transaction, consequently, being 136,0001. upon an outlay of only 12,000..-Bdpertisen MARKET NE W:l4—(Y ESTERDAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals of all kinds of English Grain were of a very moderate scale, but those o f I r i s h Oats were consider ably on the increase. Of Foreign Wheat, Barley, and Oats. the imports were moderately good, but by no means exten sive. Fresh up from Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, and other parts, including Essex and Kent, the arrivals of Wheat of home produce coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples, were small ; hence the stands were again scantily filled with parcels of both red and white. Although the at tendance of dealers was not to say large, we have to report very steady demand for all descriptions of English Wheat, at an advance in the currencies obtained on Monday last of Is per quarter, and a fair clearance was effected prior to the close of business. The show of tine Foreign Wheat was rather limited, selected parcels of both red and white moved off steadily, at full peal& In other kinds next to nothing was doing. Corn under lock was almost nominal in value. Scarcely a single quarter of English Barley was brought forward, and the supply of Foreign was by no means large. Grinding parcels sold steadily at full prices. , Other kinds were very dull. The Malt trade was in a very sluggish state, yet we can notice no alteration in value. The show of Oats being on the increase, that. article was heavy at barely stationary prices. Beane, Peas, and Flour supported late rates.

At Hull, upwards of 400 oxen and cows have hecis receivetl hi the above period. The number to foreign beasts on sale here to , day was small—viz., 48, a large portion of which was of very middling quality ; nevertheless they were speedily disposed of at extreme currencies. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh were very limited for the time of year ; whilst there was nothing amongst them remarkable for excellence of quality. The dead markets being tolerably well cleared of their late country supplies, and the attendance of buyers rather numerous, the Beef trade was active, at an advance en Friday's quotations of 2d per 81bs., while, in some instances, tile rates ruled somewhat higher than those obtained on Monday last, the primest Scots readily producing 4s 8d per Sibs, and at which a good clearance was readily effected. From Norfolk-, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re ceived 450 Scots and Short-horns; from the North of Eng land—a portion coming from the neighbourhood of New castle-300 Short-horns, &c. ; from the Western and Midland counties, 400 Herefords, Hunts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; and from Scotland 400 Horned and Polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were very small. For most kinds the demand was in a sluggish state, at barely previous figures. The Lamb trade was steady, at full rates of currency in every instance. In Calves only a moderate business was doing, at barelylast week's currencies. The same may be said of Pigs. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s.

The past week's arrivals of country-slaughtered Meat for our Markets have been, the time of year considered, large, and of fair average quality. These extensive receipts are caused by the comparative high rates now ruling in the metropolis. With Meat killed in London we have be n somewhat heavily supplied ; hence the general demand has ruled inactive, and, in order to effect clearances, a decline of 2d per 81b3 has been submitted to in the quotations. Several carcasses of foreign Beasts have been again disposed of, at prices varying from 3s to 3s 4d per 81bs. Their quality was not to say first rate. At per stone, by the Carcase. s. d. to s.

From most of the plantatiobs our accounts are of a much more favourable character than for some time past; hence, as might be expected, the demand for nearly all kinds of Hops is heavy, at Lately previous rates.

The supplies Potatoes being , on*iderably more than adequate to meet the wants of the trade, the demand for them continues very dull, at from .25s to 80s per ton. Lame quantities have been disposed of at the former figure to the ~,w-keepers. WOOL. ra.annET. The past week's arrivals of wool from our colonies have been very great, they having exceeded 6,000 bales, chiefly from Launceston and Sydney. The imports from abroad have been very moderate. Public sales of about 16,000 packages, are announced for the 3d proximo and several fol lowing days. It is expected that large additional quantities will be brought forward as the auctions progress. In the private contract market a fair business is doing, at late rates. TALLOW During the past week this market has been dull and inac tive, and prices of foreign have generally receded. In Yellow Candle on the spot there is nothing doing. The nearest price for the last three months is 405 6d to 40s 9d. By letters received this morning from St. Petershurgh up to the 19th instant, the price there had risen to 110 roubles, which is quite equal to 42s laid down here. Town Tallow is 40s net cash.
