EVENING EDITION would materially alter the discipline of the school. What I guarantee was there for that ?—( Hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL—It would be a yearly vote. Lord ASHLEY said, if the vote had to be made every six months, or every six hours, he should equally object to it. The powers proposed to be conferred on this Corn mitte of the Privy Council were such as ought not to be given to anv body of men. The Church and the Wes leyans had declared they were unable to accede to the conditions. What was the result ? Why, the whole 30,0001. would be at the disposal of the Privy Council, not for the purpose of promoting the doctrines of the Established Church, or those doctrines in which the Wesleyan Methodists concurred, but for the purpose of establishing any and what schools they pleased—( Hear, hear)—schools professing the Roman Catholic faith, or the Socinian faith, or no faith at all—or that party, piebald faith professed by the Central School Society.— ( Hear, hear.) The minute issued was most severely to be reprehended. The Church of England embraced a large majority of the people of the realm, and what gaurantce was there that the members of the Board would be mem bers of the Church of England ?—( Hear, hear.) Let the House consider the gravity—the importance—and, he might say, the holiness of the functions vested in that Board. They were to appoint normal and model schools —to appoint rectors and chaplains to superintend the read ing of the Scriptures. They were to exercise unlimited, undefined, and hitherto unprecedented functions, and yet to advise on all these there was no one Bishop-- no one representative of the Episcopal Bench, or of the Church app)inted. It was left entirely to persons of very little experience, and of no general knowledge.—( Hear, hear.) If Dissenters were unable to maintain themselves by local contributions, why were they to be fostered and cherished at the expense of the State ? The Committee were to decide when and where, and to what extent dissent was to be cherished as against the Church.—( Hear, hear.) He thought it 'would have been but right, in deference to the subject itself, and for the sake of respect to the people of this realm, the vast majority of whom were within the pale of the Established Church, that there should have been some spiritual au thority in the Committee before a scheme of such awful and almost inconceivable importance was put forward.— ( Hear, hear.) Why was the country to be troubled with this hydra of education. —(Ministerial cheers.) He begged distinctly to state that he applied the term " hydra" only to that notion of education which her Ma.. jesty's Government had introduced. Godforbid he should ' apply that term to religious education.—( Hear, hear.) He should be ashamed of himself if he could apply such a term to that which was the first duty, not only of a man in public but in private life, to contribute to the temporary welfare of his fellow-creatures, and to aid them in the attainment of happiness hereafter.—( Opposition cheers.) The House was now called on by the Govern. ment to affirm a new principle in the history of the coun try and the Church—namely, that every man had a right to be trained at the expense of the State in the faith in which he was born.—( Cheers from the Ministe rialists. ) Why was not that principle explicitly avowed in the minute ?—(Cheers.) If that principle was so broadly laid down—what was the meaning of the limitation expressed in the first minute. that after the chil dren attending model schools should have attained a cer tain number, then and then only would they be entitled to the appointment of a licensed minister totrain them in the special religion they possessed. The House was called upon for the first time to recognise that all forms of belief, and ministers of every denomination, were equal in the eye of the State. and equally to be maintained by the State. The Noble Lord ( Lord .John Russell) shook his head. Would the Noble Lord show the difference be ween his ( Lord Ashley's) statement, and the principle the Noble Lord maintained? Would the Noble Lord tell him the difference be laid down between the Established Church, whose doctrines he professed, and the doctrines of all the different sects whose doctrines he opposed ? ( Hear, hear, from some Members on the Treasury benches.) The Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Gen tleman by his side ( Mr. Spring Rice) cheered him. Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I did not cheer. Lord ASHLEY said it was far from his wish to show up any dissension which prevailed between the Ministers and their adherents.—( Tory cheers.) This was most clear that a more crude and more ignorant proposition— ( Loud laughter from the Ministerial benches)—was never made than that they were now discussing ; and it was proved when they found two Ministers of the Crown in this Howe giving to each other the most flat contradic tion._( Tory cheers and loud laughter from the Ministerial benches.) All this showed how necessary it was that a scheme of this sort, affecting the temporal Government of the Church and the interests of the people, should not be disposed of in a single moment, but that the matter should be brought forward in a Bill, and that the whole country should have time to express its opinion as to The whole of this great and vital subject.—( Cries of " Hear.") His firm and solemn belief was, that this plan of national education was hostile to revealed religion itself.—( Hear, hear.) He would not charge any body of men with such an unlawful intention, but he spoke of the plan as it came before him, and this was his deliberate conviction, and it was the conviction of nine -tenths, he might say of ten tenths of those with whom he had conversed.—( Laughter. ) What was the meaning of dividing religion into general and special?_( Hear, hear.) Was there ever such a thing put at the very frontispiece of national education ? This was no less than a disjunction of the most sacred truth.— ( Laughter.) If gentlemen laughed when he touched on 'such subjects as this they did not represent the people of England.—(Tory cheers.) He did not believe that ten thousand people could be got together in Palace-yard who would receive with contempt and jeering a religious senti ment.—(" Oh, oh 1") Therefore he said this was a disjunc , tiou of sacred truth. What did they mean when they used - • the f.eroa voligloo? -They divided religioninto general and special. Immediately afterwards they said religion was to be confined to the whole matter of instruction. What religion ? Was that"religion general or special ? Did they mean a part or the whole of religion ? It they meant the whole of religion, why did they make that distraction, and then superadd a quality which had no existence whatever? If they meant a part of religion, what right had they in teaching these children to withhold any part of religion ? By this term general and special they might include every religion and reject every religion. They separated doc trines from precept, and they elevated precepts by suppress.. ing the doctrine. Let them look at the effect that it would produce on the minds of the children. They would be taught that moral precepts were of greater value because they were universal, and that doctrines were of inferior value because they were necessary only for a few.—(Hear, bear.) Dr. Kay quoted as an instance of general religion the sermon on the mount. Was there ever a more unhappy instance of the meaning of general religion ? What was the value of that sermon on the mount? Whence did it derive all its sanction, but from the person by whom it was spoken ?—( Hear.) And if in teaching children they suppressed the character of that person, they undertook to teach children that the , character which nine-tenths of the people held, was not the true character according to the revealed word. He asked how this instance could be taken as an instance of general religion ? This, of all others, was the one which least bore out his proposition.—(pear, hear.) He did not think the Privy Council had any right to issue such a document as that, which bore on its face such theo logical errors. A little more caution was requisite— a little more deliberation would have been decent. Now, in the model school, religion was to be confined to the whole matter of instruction. To what extent was reli gion to be inculcated in the whole matter of education ; and how was it to bear on the system, when all the children met in the same school ? Then, they were all to be taken asunder for special instruction. Would that have a beneficial effect on their minds ? If no special creeds were enforced, they would suppose, if they were suppressed, that they were of ne value at all, or if they were of general importance, why were they not enforced? Although it might be said that it was not the business of the State to enforce the truth, surely it was to abstain from teaching that which was false and contradictory. Were they to set up Socinian teachers and schools, to subvert and overthrow and oppose every doctrine maintained by the Church of England? In what a position would they place the State! Must not the con clusion be come to, that the State professed no religion ? If the State would not teach the truth, it was tar better that it should teach nothing at all.—( Hear, bear.) i What could be worse than conflicting translations—what could be more mischievous than allowing the promiscuous use of the Romish version, which admitted much that we considered apocryphal, and the Unitarian version, which excluded as apocryphal much that we considered I divine ?—( Hear, hear.) It appeared that the normal school was considered essential by the Government. Now the model school was a necessary consequence upon the adoption of the normal school, which, however, must now be postponed till greater concurrence of opinion had i been gained in its favour. Were the teachers of every re ligious persuasion to be maintained and fostered in their faith at-the expense of the State? Were the Roman Ca tholic Priests and the Socinian teachers to be supported and fostered by the public funds.? And wera they after wards to be allowed to superintend schools, supported at the public expense ? Why attempt to change the system which had long been working so well ?—( Hear, hear.) The Church of England had been charged with bigotry, monopoly, and exclusion; with bigotry because she would not surrender her own faith ; with monopoly, though she asked no fresh grant for her own education system, and only asked that a system might not be established, the end of which would be to beat down all her most essential doe trines—( Hear, bear)—with exclusiveness, forsooth, though she had made no objection to the division of the annual grant of 20,000/. between her own system and that of the Dissenters, thus consenting to an abatement of her strict principles, by allowing the maintenance of other than her own doctrine.—(Hear, hear.) She had consented to waive Church principle, but she would not sur render religious principle, and that had become the question now.—(Hear, hear, hear.) She was charged with indifference to education. Notwithstanding that, she supported 6,778 schools—in connection with the National Society—teaching 597,600 children. And the present system was made just at the period when the Church was making unprecedented efforts for education, and effecting the most sweeping reforms in her system.— ( Hear, hear.) Why should the Government persist in pressing this system against the religious feeling of nine tenths of the people of this country.—( Hear, hear.) They might carry a vote in that House, but it was impos sible they could succeed in their scheme. The expres sions he had made use of were not stronger than the reso lutions of the Wesleyan Methodists in opposition to the schem e of the Noble Lord. Would he altogether lay *s l ide ever consideration for the feelings of that exem -I)oage body of men who h a d come f orwar d man fully a ssistance of th e Ch urc h , an d w h o h a d ex hibi te d no ordinary degre e of ge e nerosity . in their last effort, as by the regulations of th ew minute they would be entitled to a share in the n aside all grant,considerations of but they had consented to lay individual ad van t age , b ecause a door was ope ne d to vast abuses and to the establish men t of sects and creeds from vvhich theyconscie b ntiously differed. This This proved that they w ere not actuated ca l feetin,gs, but by f ee li ngs the most exa y lte p d art t y ha o t r ctld di gn ify human nature.-_(Cheers.) And should it be d ee med advisable to revert to the plan first proposed by Lord ASHLEY had stated that the plan was hostile to the Constitution, but he had not designated it as uncon. stitutional.—( Laughter. ) Mr. HAWES believed the plan was hostile to the old Tory Constitution.—(Laughter.) He was astonished at the attack that had been made upon the measure, and the language that bad been used in those attacks. He should not have been suprised at its proceeding from the Pope and the Vatican, but he was astonished at its coming from the quarter it did.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord had undoubtedly been driven from his first scheme. He (Mr. Hawes) was sorry for it. The plan would have been more acceptable to him had it been still further divested of everything like a sectarian charac ter.—(Cheers.) Under that plan a Jew would have been refused education ; but he saw no reason why, under a truly national system of education, every man, whatever his creed might be, should not be benefited.—(Cheers.) He should be glad to know if any Hon. Member advo cated a system of national education of which the principle was an exclusion of the members of particular creeds ? ( Hear, hear.) Great efforts had been made to show that that the present system was devoid of religious instruc tion. But if the documents cannected with the subject were attentively perused, it would be found that such was not the case. It would be difficult to take any line which would reconcile these contending opinions, and he re gretted to find that the efforts of the Government had failed. It had failed by the union of gentlemen entertain intt the opinions of the Noble Lord opposite, and a new ally of the Noble Lord of the high Church party, the Wesleyan Dissenters.—( Hear, hear.) It remained to be seen, whether the Wesleyan Dissenters were disposed to leave the question in the hands of the Church.—(Hear, hear.) The plan now before the House was nothing more than a continuance of the plan on which the Government had first acted.—(No, no.) There was, perhaps, some little difference, but it was in favour of religious liberty.— ( Loud cheers.) He rejoiced, therefore, that the question had come to the present issue —(Loud cheers)—and he believed, that by standing up manfully in sup port of a sound system of national education, the Noble Lord (John Russell) would do more to attach the Liberal party to him than by any other measure he could bring forward ; and if the Noble Lord would but manfully adhere to that principle, ho (Mr. Hawes) as an humble Member of that body, would offer whatever support he could to his Administration.—(Loud cheering.) Lord F. EGERTON said, if it was the usual practice of the House he would be content that the House should come to a division after the speeches of the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire and the Noble Lord the Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was not surprised that his Noble Friend's speech had been stigmatized with harsh epithets, and as intensely uncharitable, for he believed it was in. tensely inconvenient to the Government, and it would be found to prove intensely effective upon the intelligence, and understanding, and religious convictions of that House and of the public. The Hon. Member for Lambeth had attempted to rc.ply to his Noble Friend by quotations from his former speeches; he believed, however, that the Hon. Member misconceived and somewhat misrepresented the bearing of the speech. The discussion on that occasion was whether Dissenters should be excluded from the Uni versity without previously subscribing to the Thirty-nine Articles. The hope and bearing of his Noble Friend's argument was that that exclusion should be no longer allowed to exist.—(Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend had been charged with arguing that the Members who were the depositories of power in that House—the Members of the Government—should not be entitled or allowed to in terfere in the question of education. He did not understand his Noble Friend to say any such thing. His Noble Friend had said that, though he might have little objection to the money being voted for the support of two Societies, whose principles of action and of education were well known to the community, he could not have the same confidence in the system of action of a Committee of the Privy Council. It was with great reluctance that he took part in the debate, but ha v i ng been ent r usted with upwards of 50 petitions from the Wesleyans, inhabiting the district which he had the honour of representing, he had not been able to present those petitions himself, from causes over which he had no controul, but he had entrusted them to his Noble Friend (Lord Ashley), who had kindly laid them on the table. The objections of that great and respectable body showed the Church that there was danger in the plan of the Government. The Hon. Member for Lambeth thought the feeling amongst that body would not be permanent, but he saw no reason to doubt it, b ecause t h ey h a d ta k en up their opinion upon a calm, careful, and impartial re view of the whole plan. The Noble Lord urged many objections to the Gove rnment sc h eme, but amidst so much noise and cries of question and di v id e , t h at i t was impos sible to hear a consecutive sentence. H e conc l u d e d b y i , saying that he agreed n all that had fallen from his Noble Friend (Lord Stanley), and would cor di a ll y support I , cis motion. the Noble Lord, he should certainly move an address to the Crown, praying that the Wesleyan Methodists might be included as participators in the grant.—( Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) Would the Government force this scheme on unwilling persons? He recollected the clamour which was raised against Church-rates; the Dis senters complained that such an impost was in opposition to the consciences. The Government recognized the validity of their application, and stated their willingness to adopt measures to relieve them from this impost. This was an impost of eight hundred years standing, but now they wished to force on them a new tax, for the purpose of establishing creeds and forms of belief that were not only repugnant to the Church of England but repugnant to the faith they all professed. He knew he should expose him self to the charge of bigotry, intolerance, and illiberality; he had fully counted the cost of what he was doing, and he would not consent to the alteration of one single ex pression of his opinion. He had no objection to the con sideration of any plan which might be proposed for the moral advantage of the people of this country, but he never would consent to sever secular from religious instruc tion ; by religious instruction he meant instruction in those doctrines which were essential to salvation. He bad no ob jection to carry secular instruction to any amount, but the poor had little leisure, and he thought it would be more fit to devote their time to religious instruction ; but he would never consent, come what may, to sever secular instruc tion from religious. He would run any hazard—he would expose himself to any contempt and oblo qu y—h a wou ld put into jeopardy any single thing in this kingdom, rather than depart from the truths of th e G os p e l, or support any system of religion inculcating the w ors hip o f t h e S a i nts, or denying the divinity of the Saviour. ( The manner in which the Noble Lord concluded his speech, appeared to excite considerable surprise among the members on each side of the House.) Mr. HAVES said that, of all the great questions that had ever been debated in that House, there never had been one considered that involved principles of higher im portance, than the one nowunder discussion.—( Cheers.) It had now come to this issue, and he was exceed ingly rejoiced that it had come to this issue, an issue involving the vital principles of religious liberty which were now at stake, and it behoved all who were de termined to abide by these principles to uphold their civil and religious liberty, and to come forwav . and give their support to the Government on this question. This great principle had been recognised by the Toleration Act ; it had again been recognised at the repeat of the Test and Corporation Acts ; and still more recently by the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act ; and if anything had given him pain in the course of this debate it was to find that this subject had been introduced to the House with so much bitterness of feeling—with such an intensity of uncharitableness, as had marked the speech of the Noble Lord on introducing the subject.—( Cheers.) He had expected that a different course would have been pursued. He had listened to speeches of the Noble Lord on this subject in which he concurred with him ( Mr. Hawes) in adopting principles on this subject which were common to the Noble Lord with himself. The Noble Lord seemed to have forgotten this, and when he began his speech, taunting the Noble Lord with the facility with which he could slip away from his plan— ( Cheers and laughter from the Opposition benches)—he must say that he would much prefer an occasional slipping away from a plan—( Renewed cheers and laughter)—to the slipping away from any great principle.—(Loud cheering from the Ministerial benches.) He well remem bered a debate in which the Noble Lord had made a most eloquent speech, and he was glad that the records they pos sessed enabled him to remind the Noble Lord of what were those principles he once professed on the subject of educa tion. He would not allude to the debate on the Irish educa tion, he would come much nearer home, he would refer to the ' debate on the University of London, on which occasion the Noble Lord expressed himself to the following effect. The Noble Lord then spoke with reference to the common system of education : he said, "By bringing into one com mon system of education, and that not an irreligious sys tem, all the various classes of Churchmen and Dissenters in this country, you will sink religious rancour and enmity, and establish in the minds of the youth of all sects and persuasions, a bond which the struggles and vicissitudes of after life will not break, and which to the communit at large, will confer great benefit and advantage." He should be glad to know how classes of Dissenters were to be united together by any system of education which stood exclusively upon sects and persuasions.—( Cheers. ) Upon another occasion the Noble Lord had stated that he was anxious to afford the Established Church every protection and support which could be given to it consistent with the interests of all classes in the country, but that it was not to be maintained by keeping up a system of injustice and exclusion. The main cause of the spread of dissent had been occasioned among the lower classes by the inefficiency of education, with respect to the tenets of the Established Church, and among the higher classes, by the strict line of exclusion which those who were desirous to protect the Church had drawn around her. He was satisfied if they were inclined to attach the higher classes of Dissenters to the Church, they could not do it better than by giving them the fullest religious privileges.—( Hear, hear.) He would ask whether it was just that wealthy societies and sects should have the greatest portion allotted to them for public grants, and the poorer ones should be specially excluded? He now came to consider the plan proposed by the Go vernment, but before he did so he would refer to the gross misrepresentations that had gone abroad with respect to the plan. Representations of so false a character had been made with respect to that measure, that it was diffi cult for him to suppose that those who put them forth were not tinctured with party feelings. In order to show the manner in which signatures were got to petitions against the Government plan of education, he would just read to the House a placard that had been put forth by the Churchwardens of the parish of Lambeth. The Hon. Member then read the placard, which cautioned the inha. bitants of Lambeth against giving their assent to the Go. vernment plan of education, as it would lead to the intro duction of mutilated Bibles, and the establishment of Ro mish and Socinian doctrines in every national school in the country. All admitted that education was a subject of great importance ; and :t was to be !lamented that it bad done so little to put an end to crime. It was to be de plored that they were then discussing the privileges of dif ferent sects, when crime was increasing to the extent it was. The Noble Lord who had just sat down, had taken great pains to show that the plan was most unconstitu tional. Mr. SL ANE Y rose amidst loud cries of " Divide, divide." He would trespass but a very short time on the attention of the House. He felt deeply the importance of the subject, and lamented the party spirit in which that discussion had commenced and had been continued.-- ( Hear, hear.) He was sorry that it had been thought right by the two great bodies contending for power to fight the battle of party on this subject, and thus deprive the humbler classes of the benefit of education. He certainly had felt an objection to some parts of the first plan, but he sincerely hoped that both parties would endeavour to agree upon some system of education which would be beneficial to the people. —( Hear, hear.) He considered that the great body of the poor Roman Catholics in the towns in England ought to receive aid and assistance in regard to education. He did not think that the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, under whose guidance he (Mr. Slaney) had on a former occasion voted aid to the poor Irish in their own country, could refuse them that assistance when they came to England.—( Hear, hear.) In Manchester there were 30,000 Roman Catholics who had not the means to obtain education, end in London he believed there were three times that number. Would it be contended that they ought to refuse assistance to so large a number of their fellow-creatures ?—( Hear, hear.) He did not like to detain the House, but would mention one or two facts to show the want of education.— (Oh, oh !) He would state the result to which the Com mittee had come with regard to education in the manufac turing and seaport towns. They found that the proportion of educated persons in Reading was 1 in 17 ; in the East of London, 1 in 21; in the South-west of London, 1 in 27 ; in Manchester, 1 in 35; in Birmingham, 1 in 38 ; and in Leeds, 1 in 41. Thus the average number was 1 in 24, instead of 1 in 8. The upshot of this was, that two of out of three of the children of the poorer classes were entirely uneducated.—( Cries of " Divide.") Another proof of the want of education was, that whilst 30 years ago only nine millions gallons of spirits were consumed, 39 millions were now used. This was a ques tion of the deepest importance to the humbler classes, and if they did not give a practical and good education to the humbler classes, in a short time they would not be ruled either by one side of the House or the other.—(Loud cries of " Divide.") Sir W. JAMES rejoiced that the attention of the public had been called to this subject, and thus that a fresh stimulus had been given to the public mind. The clergy had been unjustly charged with wishing to monopolise the education of the people. But he had always considered moral and religious instruction inseparably connected. lie wished to ask the Govern ment if they intended to form a normal or a model school at all ? and if they meant to devote any portion of the public money to Roman Catholics ? Let them remember, that if they applied the public funds to instructing Roman Catholics in the tenets of their faith, they were encourag ing persecuting principles.—( Oh, oh 1) Amidst loud cries of " Divide," and " Adjourn," Mr. WYSE moved the adjournment of the debate till Monday. The House divided. After a short desultory conversation, the debate was adjourned till Wednesday. Lord STORMONT begged to know what Scotch Bills it was intended to carry, and what Bills it was in tended to put off. Mr. FOX MAULE was not aware that any Bills were to be abandoned. Lord STORNIONT hoped he would have a direct answer.—(Tory cheering.) .. _ Lord J.' RUSSELL - would not favour the Noble Lord with an answer to his peremptory demand.—(Ministerial cheers.) Sir R. PEEL thought the usual practice was to hear about the 15th of June, what Bills it was intended to proceed with. Mr. G ILL ON hoped some answer would be given to the question. Scotch Bills were too frequently shoved over from night to night, and eventually abandoned. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said there was one Scotch Bill of very great importance, namely, the Scotch Jurors Bill, which he hoped they would be able to " job through," as the Hon. Member termed it, before the next week was over. The Report of the Imprisonment for Debt Abolition Act Amendment Bill was brought up. The Bills of Exchange Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Brick Duties Bill was committed vro forma, and and the Report brought up. Mr. F. M A ULE moved that the Report on the Metro polis Police Bill be brought up. Colonel SIBTHORP said no Government having any respect for the people in the granting of their money would dare to go on with such a proceeding in such a House. He moved that the House be counted. Twenty-nine Members only being present, the House adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John Wells, coachman to the Rev. Daniel Wilson, Vicar of Islington, appeared before the Magistrate to answer an information laid against him for following his worldly calling on the Lord's Day, by driving his master to Church. After evidence had been heard, Mr. BENN ETT said, that on due consideration, he was of opinion that the defendant. in driving the Vicar to Church to attend his religious duties was performing an act of necessity, and that the charge did not come within the meaning of the Act ; he must therefore dis miss the case. Died, at Kilwinning, Ayrshire, on Sunday last, Samuel Hunter, Esq., for nearly forty sears editor of the Glasgow Herald. The GlasgOw Courier states that during that long period he made not a singl e enemy, though the friends he attached to himself were numerous and influential. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This well-known and favourite place of amusement, which has so frequently presented a fairy-like scene, is doomed to remain in gloom and dulness, and will not be opened to the public the present season. It is understood that the proprietors have come to this determination in coos quence of the losses they met with the last two or three seasons. SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Tuesday evening, a young man, a stranger, went into the Shooting Saloon, Jamaica-street, Glasgow, and tried a shot with the rifle. He then took a seat, and remained for upwards of an hour, seemingly amusing himself by observing the firing of various people who were practising in the saloon. During the whole of this time he appeared perfectly calm, and made frequent remarks on the shots that were succes sively fired. The party who had been practising ultimately retired from the saloon, and he was left alone with the keeper, when he proposed to try a shot with a pistol. The weapon was loaded accordingly, and put into his hand, and he took the usual position for aiming at the bull's eye on the target. The keeper turned for a moment to mark the shot upon a board, the pistol went off, and the stranger fell to the ground dead. He had, it appears, placed the muz zle of the piece close to his mouth, and the bullet, going upwards, penetrated his brain. A document was found in one of the pockets of the deceased which led to inquiries being made of a person in Glasgow, from whom it was ascertained that his name was Daniel M'Nicol, and that he had lately been emplyed as a waiter in Dunfermline. For some time past, however, he has been out of employ ment.— Glasgow Paper. WANTON OUTRAGE.—On Monday evening, about ten o'clock as a lady and gentleman, residinn. in Chancery-lane, were proceeding to town in a poney chaise along the Hammersmith-road, near Lord Holland's park, an open carriage or landau drawn by post horses, and filled with several persons in the garb of gentlemen, over took them, and while passing, the men in the carriage deliberately discharged an air gun, or some instrument of the kind, at the lady and gentl eman ; t h ree o f t h e shots struck the gentleman, two on the breast glanced off without doing him any injury, but the third struck him most vio lently on the eye, of which it was, at first, expected he would entirely lose the sight. It is said the inhabitants of the above line of road are frequently annoyed by young men calling themselves " gentlemen," who provide them selves with instruments capable of propelling missiles with great force, breaking the windows as they pass. The police have notice of the outrage, and it is to be hoped they will give a sharp look out, and that on the next occa sion any such diaholical act is attempted, the ruffians will be secured.—Morning Herald. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.—On Saturday mottl ing last W. Warren accomplished the extraordinary and difficult feat of dragging a hand fly with 14 stone weight in it, altogether weighing about 5 cwt., from the High street, to a place called Cold Comfort, a distance of seven miles, in three hours and thirty-five minutes, for a sum of 101. Warren won the wager easily in two hours and forty_ six minutes, although a great part of the road was very hilly and difficult to travel : in addition to which his opponents,. in the most shameful manner, secretly placed a quantity of large atones in a narrow lane, along which he had to pass, evidently to :prevent his accomplishing the feat, and by which means Warren almost broke the fly to pieces.-- Cheltenham Chronicle. EARTHQUAKE IN LANCASHIRE. —Tuesday morning, about a quarter past eight, this county was visited by a slight shock of an earthquake, which, like the one experienced four or five years ago, seems to have been most violent to the northward of Manchester, though it was also very perceptible here to those who happened to be lying or sitting down at the time. We have received a communi cation from Burnley on the subject, which says that the phenomenon was accompanied by a rumbling hollow sound, like distant thunder, and it caused con siderable alarm by the shaking of buildings, and the vibration of windows and furniture. Many persons ran out of their houses for fear of personal in. ; but no damage is known to have been done. At Bury, also, we understand the concussion was very plainly perceived by a number of individuals, though it does not appear to have been quite so violent as at Burnley. In the immediate neighbourhood of this town the shock was very little felt ; and though we have met with several per sons who were aware of an unusual tremulousness, like the effect of a heavily-loaded cart passing their houses, we be lieve it would hardly have been recognised as an earth. quake if there had not been some account of it from other quarters, where its effects were more palpable. We shall probably hear further particulars of the phenomenon before our next publication.—Manchester Guardian. The Wiltshire Independent thinks it questiona ble whether those electors who sent Mr. Walter Long to Parliament will approve of his going over to Toryism ; nevertheless we are glad he has thrown off the mask, and has at last openly and honestly avowed his real principles. MR. S. O'BRIEN AND HIS CONSTITUENTS On Tuesday last, at the County Court, a meeting was held in order to ascertain the sentiments of the constituency at large with respect to whether that Hon.

(From the Edinburgh Courant of Thursday.) Yesterday the Presbytery of Dunkeld appeared before the Court of Session, pursuant to summons, to answer for their contempt of Court, in ordaining the Rev. dr. Kes son to the church and parish of Lei bendy, in violation of an interdict issued by the Lord Ordinary. The case must be well known to our readers, having excited intense inte rest throughout the Church and the country. The Pres bytery were ordained to appear at eleven, but soon after ten the Court was crowded in every part. • About half past eleven the Judges entered the Court, and took their heats on the bench. The whole of their• Lordships were present, with the exception of Lord Glenlee. The LORD PRESIDENT then called for the Rev. Michael Stirling, of Cargill, to appear. The - PROCURATOR said he had to state, these gentlemen were in attendance, and would conic into Court the mo ment their Lordships should give direction-. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK—WeII, that is a direction. The Reverend Gentlemen then entered the Court.— Their names are—The Rev. Messrs. Michael Stirling, of Cargill. Robert Allan, of Little Dunkeld, Francis Gillies, of Rattrie, William Grant, of Tenandi y, P. Drummond, of, Kirkmichael, Alexander Wilson, of Caputh, Duncan Campbell, of Moulin, and the Rev. Mr. Kcsson, of Le thendy, who had been separately ordained to appear, as a separate interdict had b,,en is,ued against his presenting himself for ordination. There also entered the Court and took their places at the bar ;Jong with them, the Rev. Dr. Dickson, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Makellar, of Pencaitland, and Mr. Balfour Graham, of North Berwick. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK observed that other parties besides those summoned to appear were at the bar. He saw members of the Presbytery of Edinburgh present. Lord MEADowitaNK said the Presbytery of Dunkeld, an d they alone, had been midair - 12d to appear. No other parties had a right to attend at the bar along with them to give tiem countenance, and he was clearly of opinion that they ought to retire.—(Applause, which was checked by the Court. ) _ Lord MONCREIFF said he did not understand the nature or the import of these observations. It was a % ery com mon higher criminality than the present, esecnats,forin matters n or far toattend with parties at the bar. It had taken place in the Justiciary Court about ten days or a fortnight ago, where his Learned Brother himself pre sided, and there a gentleman sat during the whole trial along with a prisoner accused of one of the highest crimes. It took place at the trial of Mr. Stuart, who was accompa nied at the bar by the Earl of Moray ; and having taken place so recently at the trial of the Earl of Stirling, why !I's Learned Friend should not permit these Clergymen to remain at the bar with their brethren he really could not understand. Lord MACKENZIE said it was true these Reverend Gentlemen were not ordained to appear ; but if there was room for them at the bar, he saw no objection to their remaining.—( Laughter.) Lord MEADownsNic said he adhered to his opinion. The matter then dropped, and the Reverend Gentlemen were allowed to remain. The parties then severally answered to their names. The LORD PRESIDENT read the interlocutor of Court, ordaining the parties to appear, and asked one and all of them, whether, by themselves or their counsel, they had any thing to say, and what, in explanation or vindication of their conduct? Rev. Mr. STIRLING—My Lords, as my name appears firstein the complaint, and as the senior minister of Pres bytery, my Reverend Friends have entrusted tome in writ ing the following statement, which they wish to be made in their name, if the Court will permit me : " My Lords —We appear, in obedience to the citation of your Lordships, inasmuch as we hold it to be the duty of all subjects to render their personal corn- 1 pearance when cited by the Civil Courts ; and being deeply impressed with the obligation of giving all ho nour and reverence to the Judges of the land, we dis claim any intention of di,respect to the Court in what we have done ; but, in ordaining to the office of the holy ministry, and in admitting to the pastoral charge to which in our proceedings complained of, we strictly limited ourselves, we acted in obedience to the superior church judicatories, to which. in matters spiritual, we are sub. ordinate, and to which, at ordination, we vowed obi. dience." The LORD PRESIDENT—What has Mr. Kesson to say ? Mr. KEssoN read the following paper : " My Lords—ln appearing byre in obedience to the order of the Court, I beg respectfully to assure your Lord ships that I am very deeply impressed with a sense of the duty I owe to the Judges of the land, and I entirely dis claim any intention of disrespect to this Court. ‘• Before the interdict I am accused of having violated was granted, all the pr..l;rninary sttps had been taken •Nith a view to my ordination, and as a licentiate of the Church, I conceived myself as much in duty bound to present my self for ordination as the Presbytery were, as ordained ministers, to perform that spiritual act, in obedience to the order of our ecclesiastical superiors. In presenting myself, therefore, to the Presbytery to he ordained and admitted to the office of the holy ministry, I submitted myself sim ply to the Church Judicatories, to which, in spiritual mat ters, 1 am subject, and to which, when I obtained my license as a preacher, I vowed obedience." These papers were signed by the parties, and ordered to be received and recorded. The Loup PRESIDENT then said, as it was impossible for them to know what explanations these gentlemen were to make, he supposed their Lordships would take time to deliberate on the course they were tiow to pursue. He therefore proposed that they should adjourn the Diet till Friday next, at , eleven o'clock. in order that they might have time to deliberate on the course to be taken. The Court then adjourned. SUDDEN DEA THS.—Friday, as Mr. Poulson, of this city, was assisting in waiting on the visitors at a gentleman's house in the country, he suddenly staggered, uttered an exclamation for assistance, and was a corpse almost instantly. He was,a truly honest man, and much respected.—Sunday, whilst Mrs. Jones, of the Nag's Head Inn, Bullingham, near this city, was standing in her bar, she dropped down and expired. Her husband was from home at the time, and her loss will be severely felt by her friends.—Hereford Journal. AMPUTATION OF A HORSE'S TONGUE.—On the 15th ult. a valuable horse, aged five years, the property of Mr. Duncan, Golspie Inn, met with an accident which lacerated the tongue so severely, that it protruded upwards of six inches from the left side of the mouth. The portion of the tongue thus exposed to view the animal had lost all power to draw back into its mouth, and was thus unable either to cat or drink anything. In this state he was supported for three days by pouring thick gruel into the opposite side of the mouth, when amputation was recommended by Mr. Tindal, V. S., as the only means of saving the ani mal's life. This proposal meeting the approbation of the owner, the operation was immediately performed. The dis union was effected at the prmnum, or precisely at the point which separates the base of the tongue from the free portion of it. As soon as the hemorrage was arrested, a pailful of gruel was offered him ; he immediately plunged his head half way up to the eyes, and by sucking up very little at a time, he contrived to empty the vessel. A bran mash was then given him, which he attacked with avidity,seized a portion of it be tween his lips, while he seemed astonished that he could do no more with it. But as the wound in the mouth began to heal, he contrived to convey it to the throat by gathering several small portions between the lips and pressing them against the bottom of the manger, until it was pushed into the back part of the mouth and swallowed. At the ex piration of three weeks the wound in the mouth healed up; he is now fed and worked in the same manner as the other horses, and is in perfect health. —lnverness Courier. - -- EXPORT OF SHELL F tsit —V ery large quan- ties of lobsters, crabs, and periwinkles are now exported from Berwick by the London steamers. The two former . are caught in large quantities by the fisbermee along the coast, from Holy Island to Berwick, and thence northward, we believe, to Eyemouth and Burnmoutb, by means of ingeniously constructed traps of netted twine and sticks, baited with small fish of various descriptions and placed among the rocks. The periwinkles, which are of the small black kind, are found sticking on the rocks, in vast beds, or shoals, when the tide has recchd, and al.hougli they form little or no portion of the food of any class of the people here, many hundreds of bushels are annually sent by steam to London. where they find a ready market at 4s. or .ss. a bushel. In the metropolis they are reckoned a de licacy by the working classes, and numbers of persons eke out their livelihood by selling them, boiled in small quan tities, in the public houses and other places of resort.

Newcombe's Cannon Ball, aged 2 dr Mr. Adams's Jester, aged ... 3 dr A new era has appeared in the racing world. The Earl of Lichfield, at the instigation of the Noble Lord who may be rameless, has refused to abide by the decision of the Jockey Club, of which his Lordship is himself a member. This is hard upon the Turf, which, God knows, is open to abuses enough. without being liable to the chi canery of those who, by virtue of their rank and station in society, have been adjudged its protectors. In the case of the Hawker filly, about two years since, his Grace the Duke of Rutland brought the Jockey Club into disrepute (the expression then used) by defying its judgment. What must the Noble Duke think now, when the result of such an example threatens the very foundation of the honour of the Turf? The days of the Jockey Club are numbered; a house divided against itself cannot stand; it is not to be expected the public will ever again consent to ba guided by any authority so equivocal as that which protests against its own power. In the case " Sir Mark Wood v. Atkins," which Lord Lichfield produced as a precedent, it must be remarked that the objector to the rules of the Jockey Club was not Sir Mark Wood, one of its members, but Mr. Atkins, acting for and on the part of Mr. Beardsworth. There is certainly no case on record parallel to the present, as Lord Lichfield originally agreed to abide by the decision of the Jockey Club. A meeting was called to settle the point. Mr. Ridsdale, with whom the proof rested, was prepared with his evidence, when at the eleventh hour Lord Lichfield objects to the proceed ings, and revokes and declares null and void his own act 1 Apended to the ►ist of almost all races in the kingdom, provincial or extraordinary, is this paragraph :—" All dis putes to be referred to the stewards or those whom they may appoint, whose decisions shall be final ;" also, " All rules and regulations at Newmarket to be adhered to at —." By omitting those in future some expense will be spared : the ornaments on the cards are quite sufficient. Let us suppose for a moment that Mr. Ridsdale, a la Mr. Beardsworth in 1831, had laughed at the Jockey Club and appealed to a Court of Law, would Mr. Ridsdale have been allowed to run horses at Newmarket? At all events what would have been the opinion of the public then ? Time will show what it is now. The question now may be decided in six months, may be twelve ; it is scarcely necessary that I should repeat my conviction that the law cannot reverse the bets. In the case of Rasselas at Bath, in 1829, the horse was disqua lified by the death of the person in whose name he was entered ; " but the stewards thought that in this case, as in that of a horse disqualified to start from the stakes not having been duly made, the bets should stand according as the horses came in." lam forgetting that the stewards are mere automatons, their decision being " 0 mci beati Martigno," "My eye and Betty Martin, 0." Who, then, can reverse the bets ? Answer—Nobody on the face of the earth. I have said reverse, because in 99 cases out of every 100 the bets are settled. The evil consequences of the delay are innumerable, and an opening to five hundred squabbles. It is true every St. Leger bet is now from Saturday last, expressed or not, as the horses come in, or blr pedigree ; but suppose the horse is disqualified at the York Assizes (anything in a Court of Law being pos sible), will those gentlemen who have backed the horse relish paying their money, for, like it or not, pay they must? If' he runs and wins, under the present ar rangement, well and good with ail but the chosen few! Again, suppose he wins, but is disqualified after the race ! In spite of the bar-pedigree precaution, there are plenty of north countrymen who would withhold their mo ney. It is absolutely necessary that the point should be considered in all its bearings by every one who bets on the race, as it affects every horse in the race. Blooms. bury out of the questien, Commodore or another would be at 3to I. My advice originally was not to bet on the St. Leger : those who followed it may have cause to be thankful. Bloomsbury, unfortunate animal, has been entered in the Goodwood Cup; but from all that can be learnt, it seems pretty clear he wilt be kept for the St. Leger. On the subject of the Cup I would give one word of caution; which is, "Do not back Harkaway ; let the Irishmen back him all they like; he will, of course, be made _ a favourite_; but with 9st. 41b. on his back he cannot win eves' if they let him try, which must be doubtful if the public back him. Mao never back Harkaway in any double event, whatever the certainty may be" of the first coming off correct.

THE COMMISSIONERSHIP OF THE CITY POLICE. --~---- Yesterday a meeting of the most influential members of the Corporation, took place at the Guildhall Coffee-house, in order to .adopt measures to secure the appointment of Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., M. P„ to the situation of Commissioner of the City Police, an office about to be formed by the Bill now in Parliament, for the improve ment of the Police of the City of London. The names of the candidates for the office were stated. They were Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., M. P., W. Dowling, Esq., Commissioner of Police at Liverpool, Sir William Cox, and Major Cook. Mr. STACY, after some observations on the talents, in. dependence, and integrity of Mr. Harvey, proposed the following resolution :--" That Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., M.P., when he announced himself as a candidate to fill that office, possesses in an eminent degree qualifications for the office, added to which, his long tried and valuable services as a public man, afford an ample guarantee, that, if elected, he will, by his vigilance and judicious arrange ments, render the police force of the city of London at once exemplary and effective." Mr. KING seconded the motion. Mr. STEVENS observed that although he was satisfied of the high character of the other candidates, he thought that military habits were no recommendation to an officer whose duties would be merely of a municipal nature. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. LOTT hoped and believed that the feeling in favour of the election of Mr. Harvey, would be unanimous in the Court of Aldermen, and the Court of Common Council. —(Cheers.) He moved that, therefore, this meeting pledges itself individually and collectively to support Mr. Harvey, ar,d respectfully recommend his claims to the notice of the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council. Deputy PEWTRESS seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. _A Committee was then appointed to further the objects of the meeting. Mr. HARVEY, in returning thanks, said, though he believed the clause in the Bill to prevent the Commissioner sitting in Parliament had reference to him, he would, nevertheless, if elected, endeavour to perform the duties in such a manner, as to cause his constitutents no sorrow for the choice they had made. DR. CIIANNING ON INTOXICATING DRINKS. —Above all, let me urge on those who would bring out and elevate their higher nature, to abstain from the use of spirituous liquors. This bad habit is distinguished from all others by the ravages it makes on the reason, the intel lect ; and this effect is produced to a mournful extent, even when drunkenness is escaped. Not a few men,- called temperate, and who have thought themselves such, have learned, on abstaining from the use of ardent spirits, that fur years their minds had been clouded, im paired, by moderate drinking, without their suspect ing the injury. Multitudes in this city (Boston, U. S.) are bereft of half their intellectual energy by a degree of indulgence which passes for innocent. Of all the foes of the working class, this is the deadliest. Nothing has done more to keep down this class, to destroy their self-respect, to rob them of their just influence in the com munity, to render profitless the means of improvement within their reach, than the use of ardent spirits as a drink. They are called on to withstand this practice, as they re gard their honour, and would take their just place in so ciety. They are under solemn obligations to give their sanction to every effort for its suppression. They ought to regard as their worst enemies (though unintentionally such) —as the enemies of their rights, dignity, and influence—the men who de sire to flood city and country with distilled poison. I lately visited a flourishing village, and on expressing to one of the respected inhabitants the pleasure I felt in wit nessing so many signs of progress, he replied that one of the causes of the prosperity I witnessed was the disuse of ardent spirits by the people. And this reformation, we may be assured, wrought something higher than outward prosperity. In almost every family so improved, we can not doubt that the capacities of the parent for intellectual and moral improvement were enlarged, and the means of education made more effectual to the child. I call on working men to take hold of the cause of temperance as peculiarly their cause.—Channing's Address on Scif Cukure. OS SIR G. CREWE.—A letter has been addressed by Sir George Crewe to the Mercury, on the gross attack made upon the honourable baronet, at the late Protes tant meeting in Derby, as reported in last week's Mer cury. The sentiments it contains are honourable to Sir George, both as a gentleman and a Christian, and we are assured, coincide with those of the great bulk of the Christian public. The spirit of fierce bigotry and in tolerance which rules in these miscalled Protestant as semblies is more becoming the dark ages than these enlightened times. The right of private judgment is denied, character traduced, friends treated as foes, and an infallibility assumed, which is as offensive to man as it is presumptuous towards God. Great praise is due to tc4Sir George Crewe for the stand he has made against this overbearing intolerance.—Derby Reporter.
