SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TEE EVENING PAPERS OF YP.STERDAY. GLOBE.—The Dissenters' Chapels Bill is within sight of port, uninjured by the stormy opposition by which it has been assailed on its passage. The debate which last night arose on the second reading will go far to remove the misapprehensions of the sincere, and the misrepresentations of the interested, opponents of the measure. The very large majority of 190 in favour of the measure may well be appealed to by the Ministry as an. answer to the accusations brought against their pru dence, for damaging their position with the country by in troducing the Bill, and persisting in pressing it against the formidable opposition which its object had provoked from the confederation •of Churchmen and Dis senters, who had entered into a kind of holy alliance against it. We have reason to believe that so late as Wednesday the Go vernment was undetermined as , to proceeding with the Bill during the present session. It was only upon an assurance that the opposition would give a cordial support to the mea sure, that Sir Robert Peel consented to brave the opposition with which he was threatened from * the Inglis and Plumptre section of his own friends. To allow the Government to stand committed, to the Bill, malgre the expostulations and up braidings of the "once' pious" portion of the community, was in Sir Robert Peel both courageous and politic. Had the Premier succumbed to the party on his own benches which sought in this instance to force upon him, as principles of legis lation, the dogmas of their school, he would have resigned him self to the most intolerant of guides, and would inevitably have found himself committed to the policy he affected to countenance, when in opposition, for the purpose of obtaining their aid to obtain the Government. Sir R. Peel having obtained his object, he now gently loosens the bonds by which the bigots of his party sup posed he was bound to them for ever. He shows them, in every possible way, that though they were valuable in their place for the purpose of keeping up a delusion in the country, he has too much prudence to attempt to carry on the •Government upon the principles they would force upon his adoption. Sir R. Peel knows that he can depend for aid upon the men he once treated after another fashion. When any measure in accordance with the principles upon which they, as a Government, sought to legislate, is endangered by the im practicable adherents to obsolete principles, Sir Robert Peel knows that he may depend on his opponents for the necessary aid to carry such measures. The Liberals are ready to rescue him from the hands of his dangerous allies, who are only held in subjection by the certainty that their defection on such occasions would be more than made up from the oppo site benches. We think that such conduct on the part of the Liberals is marked by consistency of piinciple and lenerosity of spririt. They see their own principles of egislation adopted by those who successfully resisted them, when made the basis of measures brought forward by them selves. Instead of reproaching the Government with incon sistency, and imitating the example so frequently set them by their political opponents, the Liberals show their fixed attach ment to principles by aiding the Government in carrying mea sures in accordance with them. Thus the cause of truth and justice is advanced. Those who have become converts to the principles they formelly denounced, are open to the accusations of those who once acted with them in check ing and counteracting their progress. The Liberals are, how ever, worthy of commendation for thus showing themselves free from the factious spirit which was formerly embodied and arrayed against them. By imitating such an example, they might, it is true, avenge their own cause. But the paltry party advantage would be more than counterbalanced by the loss of reputation they would incur, as a party ; and, with the loss of character, of the moral force which is derived from it, in the estimation of the country. The de bate and division of last night will afford a new illustration of the general truths we have here stated. But for the aid which the Liberals generously afforded to the measure of the Government, it would have been abandoned, or defeated. Mr. Macaulay's admirable exposition and defence of the principle of the Bill aided and enforced Sir William Follett's vindication of the legal points which are involved in the change it proposes to effect. That part of Mr. Macaulay's speech, in which he demonstrated the inconsistency of the Dissenting portion of the opponents, was rnost effective. By arraying themselves against themselves— their conduct, when seeking relief from laws which affect their own privileges, with their conduct in resisting similar change, of the law when those changes are necessay to afford relief to others—left nothing to be dsired. It must close the mouths of the most clamorous, and convince them of the mischiefs they or, likely to inlet upon themselves, when they thus stultify their cause by striving to injure others. STA ND a RD.—" The Socinians' Frauds Protection Bill" was last night read in the House of Commons by a large majority, 307 to 117. The second reading wis moved by the Attorney-General, whose appearance in the House, after his late serious imEsposition, occasioned a degree of satisfaction which was warmly and generally ackr.ow hedged. Undoubtedly, the adoption o the measure, otlimi4 and mischie: 0113 as it is, by a man so universally respected and beloved as Sir W. Follett, greatly softened th, tore of tho&o who e duty it was to oppose it ; but of course nothing could materially affect the numbers un'bo'lt sides. Mir Mini,terial party was reiairced by th , . Roman Catholics, iri4.e-cnteil by Mr. Sheil, with the semi- Romanist ;tarty repre .4pts#i 'by Mr. Monckton Alilucs, and that party to 5.; II iell We do do Lot like to give its proper name, but which it may he re- Marnbered a few /cats ago, under the guidance cf Mr. Jos -ph same, divided tn.rtcen against the acknowledgment of a Providence in an Act of Parliament. Supported by { - stria ,expectable allies, or rather supporting them—for the g o : T lenists, semi-Humanists, and the others are really the prin ssitii): in the case, and the Ministers merely auxiliaries—the ernierninent divided in the great majority that we have men tiossea, There is something remarkable in the number essembied upon this occasion (which, if the matter discussed i*erely respects a few suits more or less in the courts of s,ipa t iZy ? as is pretended, can be regarded as of but very inferior interest) ; a House of 431)—pretty nearly the fullest House of the ,sessiou.s.was somehow collected—nobody will say to g iv e effect to the feeling of the country ; but how collected, sad with what ends we can only partially explain. 'I he Roman Catholics were there to damage the Protestant religion and the Protestant Church to the utmost of their power, as (but for a certain oath) it is their duty to do—the Tractarians were there, to provide facilities for the nursing of every heresy—we hardly need say with what purpose the enemies of religious truth mustered in their full force. There were, however, persons voting in the m‘jority, whose motives our sagacity cannot fathom. They null, how ever, no doubt, be able to explain these motives to the r con stituents upon the hustings, as it is very certain they will be called upon to explain them, and in a somewhat peremptory awe, too. Last night's vote is not an event to be forgotten in hurry by a people Ike the people of England ; and ' thau ,,.. l l it was said that there was a signal prepon d6nt7c, of argument in favour of the Bill last p i a t t, w e can find none of these arguments in its favour that w ill bear the cool free air of the hustings. This boait of the preionderanee of argument, indeed, affords to us a remarkable il u rtration of the opposite conclusions at - which men arrive. according to the side on which they contemplate a subject ; for if we were called upon to say on which side the preponderance of argument lay, we should not hesitate a moment to decide in favour of Sir Robert Inglis and his friends ; and if stalled upon to recon cile this decision with our respect for the men of indisputable wisdom and integrity, to some of whom we are unfortunately opposed, who have come to an adverse decision, we should say that the whole difference lies in our respective views of— what is an argument? They to whom we are opposed may think a consideration of expediency, and of very low ex pediency too, an argument in such a case. We think diffe rently; we think that in all measures respecting the adminis tration of justice, and still more in all measures affecting the truth of religion, considerations of right and considerations of right only, are the arguments to be admitted. It seems to us no less absurd to admit arguments of expediency in questions of justice and of religious truth, than to dritg in abstract moral principles into an argument upon a corn-tax or a bank regulation. Right has its department, and expediency has a different department ; and questions affecting justice and religion are not to be argued upon maxims drawn from the " expediency" category. Now, what are the arguments advanced in favour of the Bill ? First, there is precedent, the statutable prescriptions. We have answered that argument by showing that the ground upon which statutable prescriptions rest is, the assumed acquiescence of the party out of possession. and the consequent inference that the possessor has had a title, or. proof of a title lost by lapse of time; but cessanteratione ces sat et lex, and therefore no prescription has hitherto been per mitted to protect an abuse of a trust, because in that case the t sentinel himself has turned traitor. We might answer the argument from precedent by the minutia tempos laws in favour of the Crown and the Church. It h as never been pre tended that these laws were not just and wise at th e time of their introduction; bat surely at no time were Crown and Church property more exposed to invasion, than religious trust property is proved to be at present, by the very reasons as signed for passing the Bill now in the House of Commons. Mr. Macaulay talked of the statutes of Merton and West niinster in the thirteenth century, as establishing the doctrine of prescription. Does Mr. Macaulay know what was the tenure of property in the thirteenth century, or rather does he not know that whatever formal titles men might claim, all depended upon the uncertain breath of a tyrant, ce.- the equally precarious award of the role du fait ? Why not -revive the trial by combat, among the oilier legal institutions of the thirteenth century ? But this is all idle babble. We have now means for perpetuating proofs of title and of ascertaining title, if lawyers would only let us use them, such as our ancestors never dreamed of, and there. foOe there is now tenfold less excuse for smothering justice under prescription than there was even a century ago. Prescription is the slovenly resource of barbarism, or of a barbarous neglect in'the administration of justice. It is not as we advance in civilization that we ought to multiply prescriptive laws. to 3s per cwt, but upon these terms several of the trade have been induced to operate. This afternoon the demand was brisker for Ceylon Coffee, and 1,350 bags bulked at public sale were all sold at former rates, low good ord pale fetched 45s 6d to 475, good ord 47s 6d to 48s 6(1, fine ordinary rather coloury 49s 6d to 51s 6d, fine fine ordinary Demerara sort 57s 6d; privately several par cels were disposed of. The quantity on the water is 60,000 bags. Of Mocha some parcels were sold privately at full prices, but 17 bales at auction were taken in at 71s to 72s for good middling greenish, and 70s for middling yellow. 614 bags of Manilla, sound, was all withdrawn, but the damaged sold at 22s 6d to 245, and very low lOs to 12s per cwt. Rum, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum upon rather lower terms, 3s 3d for fair quality 30 to 31 per cent overproof. In Demerara, strong quality 32 to 38 per cent overproof at 3s 2d to 3s 4d.

SAGO.—At 16s 6d to 17s 6d for middling white small pearl. Sago Flour 20s to 21s per cwt. Arrowroot, Bermuda taken in at 10d to 104 d ; Nassau at 2d, St Vincents 4d ; but 10 brls were sold at 8d to 9d per lb. RlCE.—There has been a brisk demand for Bengal, and the rates paid are rather above those of this day week. For Java higher prices being required has checked business. Cleatted Rice at 133 to 17s for Patna, and 21s to 26s per cwt for Ca rolina. This afternoon Siam Rice taken in at lOs for mid dling white. SPICES.—For black Pepper former rates are sustained, and a good demand has been experienced. This afternoon Cassia Lignea met with little attention, and 228 chests at public sale sold at 64s 6d for good mid, and 53s to 54s for good ord, being for the former the previous value, but 2s to 3s per cwt lower for the latter. Of Malabar Ginger 148 chests of su perior quality went at gBs to 110 s for bold clean. The market was quiet for Pepper, and 403 bags common stalky and dusty Sumatra at auction sold at 2id to 2/d, being id to id per lb cheaper. INDIGO.—The market has a dull appearance for East India indigo, and few transactions have taken place in any descrip tions this week ; those parties that are inclined to sell are compelled to take prices 2d or 3d per lb under those of the last quarterly sale. OILS,—Palm Oil at 27s 6d to 28s for fine quality. Cocoa Nut Oil at 26s to 27s per cwt. Cod is 33/ to 331 10s, pale Seal 33/, and to arrive 321; Southern here 261 lOs to 321 for common to fine.

Linseed Oil at 25s 6d to 25s 9d per cwt. TALLow.—For Russian Tallow on the spot little business has been transacted, and 40s to 40s 6d per cwt is the nearest value of Petersburgh yellow candle. For delivery few buyers are to be met with, and there are ready sellers for the last three months of the year at 41s 3d to 41s ad per cwt. Town Tallow at 39s per cwt, nett cash.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BO TV- S 71? BE T. Thursday, after the hours of business, Mr. Jardine was engaged a considerable time in the Magistrates' private room investigating a charge preferred against a young man of fashionable exterior, and .a native of Poland, who is known by the title of Count Ostrowski, for making use of violent and threatening language re• specting the Emperor of Russia, to the effect that he would assassinate his Majesty by shooting him the first time he could have an opportunity. The offence was committed at the house of the defendant's tailor, where he had been to give an order for clothes, and the trades man's foreman apprehending that such violent threats might be put into execution, proceeded to Scotland yard to apprise the proper authorities of the circum stance, in consequence of which the defendant was speedily in the hands of the detective officers, at his lodgings, 22, Mount •street, Grosvenor-square dispensing with the use of a warrant from the Magistrates for that purpose. What answer the defendant made to such an extraordinary charge has not transpired, as every means were adopted to hush the matter and prevent its pub lication. The defendant was ultimately ordered to put in bail, himself in the sum of 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each, for his future good behaviour ; and having no means of communicating at so late an hour, it being then about seven o'clock, he was conveyed in a cab to Tothill-fields prison for the night. To-day Chevalier Benkhausen, the Russian Consul, attended at the court, and had an interview with Mr. Jardine, in private, upon the subject ; and after he had gone some time, Mr. Westmacott, a solicitor of Lincoln's-inn, waited on the magistrate, on behalf of the defendant, and having submitted two names on paper, as sureties for his client. the persons referred to were considered perfectly re sponsible, and three o'clock was named for their atten dance. Mr. JARDINE directed Mace, the chief usher, to pro ceed to the prison and convey the defendant in a cab to the court, which he did, and showed him again into the magistrate's room. After a short delay, Mr. Skinner arrived ; and Mr. Laurie Murray, the other surety, being also present, the usual formalities were gone through, and the defendant was liberated. The defendant was said to be a man of independent fortune, and holds, or has held, the rank of captain in the French army. CLERKENWELL. Benjamin Beadle, a cab. driver, was charged with cutting and wounding Jane Hughes, an unfortunate girl, and also with an assault of a very aggravated character on Police-constable Nott, G 29. The prosecutor was sitting quietly in the Guy Earl of Warwick public-house, in Gray's Inn-lane, between five and six o'clock yesterday. morning, when the prisoner entered, and, after using some language of a very rough and offensive description towards the complainant, asked her to drink some gin and milk. She refused, up) • n which the ruffian, without receiving further provo cation, Hung the glass at her, awl broke it to atoms on her forehead. The unfortunate woman was dreadfully mangled by the splinters of glass. She became and bled profusely from the wounds. She ap peared in Court w ith h er h ea d bo un d u p, an d s e eme d t o be suffering considerable pain. Another witness deposed that, immediately after the girl fell from the blow of the glass, the prisoner seized a pewter pint pot, and flung it at her head, but, fortu nately, it did not strike her. When the pollee were en deavouring to remove the prisoner to the cell, he sud denly threw himself on his back, and nave Nott such a kick in a delicate part of his person that the officer al most fainted from pain, and he was still suffering from the effects of it. Mr. GREENWOOD said a case of greater brutality had seldom come before him. He would fine the prisoner 51., or two months' imprisonment, for the assault on the female, and when the penalty had been paid, or the im prisonment suffered, the prisoner should b e brought up on the charge of assaulting the contable. Police-constable 75 E was charged with a violation of duty, and with assaulting Mr. C. J. Prentice, a shop keeper in Goswell-street-road. The complainant and a number of others were return ing home from Hampton-court on Sunday night last under the influence of liquor. They quarrelled in King's road. The constable was called upon, and, in endeavour ing to remove the complainant to the station-house struck him with his truncheon, but not until the com plainant had struck the constable several times. The complaint was dismissed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 7. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clock. Lord PORTMAN presented a petition from Somerset, com plaining of the existing fees to clerks •f the peace and magis trates' clerks. Earl BROWNLOW presented petitions from Yorkshire against any alteration in the corn-laws. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that, on Monday, he should present two petitions on the subject of the law relating to coursing ; and on that day he should put a question to the Government as to whether they would object to any alteration in those laws. The Duke of RICHMOND expressed a hope that the Noble Marquis would postpone his question till Thursday, when he (the Duke of Richmond) should be enabled to lay a case of considerable hardship before their Lordships. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he would do so. COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the city and liberty of West minster and part of the county of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the Sewers'-office in Greek-street. The Chair was taken at Twelve o'Clock, by T. L. Donaldson, Esq. The Court, having disposed of the greater portion of the routine business before it, proceeded to the conside ration of the subject of sanctioning the order of the 28th May, for arching 'over about 1,000 feet of the King's Scholars' Pond Sewer, Mr. Thomas Cubitt agreeing to construct one moiety at his own. expense, and to build the remainder at 21. 12s. per foot run, making the cost to the district about 1,309/. Mr. LESLIE, at some length, opposed the proposition, and moved, as an amendment, that Mr. Rennie and Mr. Tredgold's reports, together with a previous Committees' reports as to the line of the King's Scholars' Pond Sewer should be reprinted and sent to all the Com missioners, and that the propositions for improving that sewer should be considered at a Court specially sum moned for that purpose on some early day—the Court to sit at ten o'clock. The amendment was lost by a majority of four, after some discussion, there being eleven hands held up for the amendment, and fifteen against. The original motion was declared to be carried by a majority of fourteen. The next business the Court proceeded to consider was, to receive the reply of Mr. George Bird, contractor, to the notice sent to him by order of Court, relative to the failure of portions of the main sewer built by himlin Gloucester -road, Paddington. On the matter being called on, Mr. GARROD, a solicitor, stated that he appeared as the agent and solicitor of Mr. Bird. Some discussion arose as to whether Mr. Garrod could be heard till Mr. Bird had sent in a written reply. It was, however, determined by a majority of the Court, that he should be heard. Mr. GARROD then proceeded at considerable length to address the Court on behalf of Mr. Bird. He con tended that Mr. Bird had performed his contracts strictly; that the materials and workmanship he had employed, had never been complained of by the sur veyors of the Court or their clerk of the works; that the accidents that had taken place were caused by the form of the sewer, and not by bad materials or bad workmanship ; and that, under such circumstances, the Court was not in a position to call upon Mr. Bird to remedy the defects in the sewer. He also defended Mr. Bird against the statements made by Philips, one of the clerks of the works, and asserted positively that Mr. Bird, in stead of doing less, had done more work than he was re quired to do by his contract. He was satisfied that the Court had come to the decision they had done without mature deliberation, and he, on Mr. Bird's behalf, was willing to abide by any judgment the Court might come to after it had fully weighed the case. If the Court de termined that the accident was caused by the fault of Mr. Bird, he was willing to do all i❑ his power to put it in repair ; but if the Court, after due consideration, de termined it would not act as judge and jury, Mr. Bird was willing to submit the case to any Court or any in dependent gentlemen. Mr. GARROD, on being called upon to give, on a future day, a written answer for Mr. Bird, said that he could do so in three minutes. The answer was—that Mr. Bird asserted that he had done the work according to the contract, and was not liable to make it good. After some further discussion, the further considera tion of the question of Mr. Bird's reply was adjourned till Tuesday week, at twelve o'clock. The Court then adjourned.

FATAL EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.-011 Wed nesday evening Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Gold smiths' Arms, Bedfordbury, on the body of Mary Mullins, aged seventy-three. It appeared from the evidence that on Wednesday last the deceased, who re sided in Angel-court, Long-acre, was found by her son in a state of intoxication at a public-house in Long-acre. He entreated her to go home, but she refused. Being in an almost insensible state, he took her up in his arms for the purpose of carrying her to her. residence. On arriving at the corner of Rose-street deceased slipped from his arms and fell heavily on the pavement. He again took her up, and on arriving home he discovered blood on her face, and she appeared wholly unconscious. He became alarmed, and went for Mr. Morgan, a sur geon, but who did not attend. She was subsequently removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where she died on Saturday last. Mr. Burrows, the house-surgeon, said deceased was labouring under the effect of stupor from liquor. She had a cut across the forehead, and three of her ribs were broken. It was his opinion that injury to the pleura, caused by the broken ribs, produced death. Verdict- ." Accidental death." EXCESSIV E INTOXICATION.—On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Nag's Head Tavern . , Postern row, Tower-hill, before William Walton, Esq., Coroner for her Majesty's Liberties of the Tower, on the body of Mary Finnegan, aged fifty years, whose death had been occasioned by excessive intoxication. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been for many years addicted to intoxication. She used to keep a stall for the sale of trifling articles in Rag-fair, opposite to the Rising Sun gin shop. She was in one continued state of intoxi cation from Saturday night until Monday afternoon, when she sat on a form at be Rising Sun. There she remained apparently asleep until nearly half-past six in the evening, and on the bar-woman attempting to arouse her, she was found to be in a dying state. A medical man was sent fcr, but on his arrival she was quite dead. Neither the Coroner nor the jurors asked a single ques tion as to the quantity of spirits supplied to the deceased at the Rising Sun, nor did they ask why she had been allowed to remain there for so many hours. A verdict that the deceased had died from excessive drinking was returned. TORY ITIMIDATION AND TRICKERY. — A NEW MovE.—Vire were wait e d upon by a party the other day, who made a statement to th e fillowing effect :—That a collector of highway rates, in a neighbouring township, called upon an aged man, who, at the last election, voted for Lord )lorpeth and Lord Milton, to demand his rate. The elector complained of the injustice of the charge, when the collector remarked significantly " You should have minded who you voted for at the last election ;" thus holding out a threat for his independent vote, or else an in ducement for !h , l adoption of a different line of conduct at a future election. Such conduct deserves reprobation. The man, who was thus tampered with, will substantiate the statement, and will communicate the name of the tool of the Tory party who thus attempted to pervert his official in _ . guence to party purposes,—York Courant. HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. The Marquis of NORMAN BY, at the request of the Earl of Wicklow, postponed his motion for a Committee on this railway till Monday. ENDOWMENT OF SCHOOLS BILL. On the motion for the committal of this Bill, The Bishop of SALISBURY opposed the Bill, on the ground, that the Bench of Bishops had not been consulted upon it. The motion was then postponed (as we understood). VISIT OF THE KING OF SAXONY. At twenty minutes past five o'clock his Majesty the King of Saxony entered the House, and took his seat opposite to the Bench of Bishops, and near to the Woolsack, a chair having been previously placed for his Majesty's accommoda tion. The House was, at this time, exceedingly crowded, both by Peers and strangers. Two ladies were in the House, the lady of Lord Lurgan, and the Noble Lord's daughter. His Majesty the King of Saxony appeared to pay particular attention to the proceedings in the House, but we did not observe him converse with any Noble Lord, with the exception of exchanging a few words with the Marquis of Londonderry. Shortly after his Majesty entered the House, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he wished to know if the Noble Lord near him (Lord Monteagle), who had a notice on the paper with respect to the corn-laws, would have any objection to postpone it till a future day, as it would be inconvenient to the Government, on this evening, to have it brought on. Lord MONTEAGLE expressed his surprise at the request which had been made to hint. He was perfectly ready either to bring on the motion or to postpone it ; but other Noble Lords might not be in a position to wish for its postponement, inasmuch as the motion had already been re peatedly postponed; and those Noble Lords might complain that he had not acted with firmness and resolution, if he con sented to postpone his motion. He thought there was that which the House ought to consult before private convenience, and that was the public interest. —( Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to say, that if he had had the opportunity, he stould have informed the Noble Lord, that it was the wish of her Majesty's Govern ment that this motion should be postponed. Lord MONTEAGLE said that he would postpone the mo tion, provided it were understood that it should be brought for ward on Monday next. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to say that he hoped there would be no objection to the motion being brought forward on Monday. Lord BROUGHAM said he had come down to the House to attend to the motion of his Noble Friend, and he hoped that the postponement of that motion would not be made a precedent. _ _ Lord CAMPBELL thought that all inconvenience might be obviated by their Lordships returning to the old system of meeting at eight o'clock in the morning.—( Hear, and a laugh.) The Duke of WELLINGTON would have no objection to come to the House at eight o'clock in the morning ; but he thought that Noble and Learned Lords—( A laugh) who had other business to attend to, and who were younger than he was, would find it very inconvenient to come down to the House at eight o'clock.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He had no objection to Monday, or any other day, for the Noble Lord's motion.—( Hear, hear.) Lord MON TEAGLE said that it would perhaps be as well to postpone his motion till Thursday next. The Gold and Silver Wares Bill was read a third time and passed. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Worthing, Shoreham, and other places in Susses, in favour of agricultural Protection. The Earl of RODEN presented a number of petitions from the north of Ireland in favour of Presbyterian marriages. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 7. ARMY IN INDIA. The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock, and in formed the House that he had received a letter from the Governor-General of India, acknowledging the thanks of the House, which were given on the2oth February last to the army in India. DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL. Petitions against this Bill were presented by Mr. Shaw from Ireland ; Mr. Barnard, Deptford; Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Boyd, places in Ireland; Mr. W. 0. Stanley, Anglesey ; Mr. Tre lawney, from Tavistock ; Sir C. Douglas, the Earl of Hills borough, from Down; and by Mr. Stafford O'Brien. Mr. BUTLER presented petitions in favour of the Bill from the city and county of Kilkenny, aid in doing so said he was now obliged to act as Member for both the city and county of Kilkenny, on account of the incarceration of Mr. John O'Connell. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented petitions in fa vour of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Kilcoun, Duncormack, and Killog, county Wexford; Donoughcloney and Newtownards, county Down; Ballymoney, county Antrim; Raphoe. county Donegal; Dunshaughlin, county Meath; and Bough, county London derry ; and from the inhabitants of various religious denomina tions residing in Cromlin, county Antrim, arid Saintfield and Ballymullen, county Down ; also a petition from the 131ackwater congregation of Rochdale to the same effect. also eight petitions against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill from different bodies of Wesleyan Methodists in Rochdale, signed by upwards of 500 names. RAILWAYS. The Ashton, Staleybridge, and Liverpool Railway Bill; the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Bill; and the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. _ Mr. TRELAWNEY gave notice that, on an early day, he would propose to the House a measure for relieving her Ma jesty's subjects of the Jewish persuasion from civil disabilities. Mr. SHAW gave notice that he would move the substitution of a possession of sixty years, instead of twenty-five years, in the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. PARISHES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion that the Hou , e resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Scotch Parishes Bill, Mr. DUNCAN M'NEILL said that he thought it right to state what was the object of the Government in proposing this Bill. The Bill did not introduce any new principle into the law of Scotland. It had for its object to facilitate the division of parishes in Scotland. By the law, as it now existed, the patronage of a new parish belonged to the patron of the old one; hut where other par ties bore the burden of erecting the new parish church, it seemed but reasonable that some other provision should be made, saving, of course, the rights of the heritors. As the law at present stood, there was not any power of attach ing districts to churches, which had been erected in parishes, without the consent of the heritors. Parties willing to erect churches, and to provide endowments for their supp in, and for the support of the ministers, had at present no power to erect them into distinct parishes. There was no power anywhere existing for that purpose. The Church of Scotland at one time believed it had that power, and had exercised it, but when the matter was brought before the courts of law, it was decided, on an appeal to the House of Peers, that the Church had no such power. The pre sent Bill gave a power, in such cases, to attach a district to the church, and to erect it into a separate parish, without the consent of the heritors, who, as they were not called upon to contribute, had certainly no right to interfere capriciously to deprive persons of that religious instruc tion for which they were themselves willing to pay. Some of the petitions against the Bill proceeded upon the erro neous impression that the Bill was intended to give power to certain individuals who had contributed towards the erection of churches, and who still continued in communion with the Church of Scotland, to take possession of these churches, notwithstand ing the opposition of persons who had likewise con tributed towards their erection, but who were not mem bers of the Church. The Bill contained no such provisions. The Bill did not seek to make any demands on the public funds. Its object, as he said before, was to give facilities for the division of parishes ; and such being its object, he did not think there could be any objection to going into Committee upon it. Mr. FOX / MAULE thought that some necessity should at least be shown for bringing in this Bill, or fur legislating on the subjeet at all. He had spoken of disjoining parishes : the first clause of the Bill trenched somewhat on the right of property. He admitted there were some points which created alarm in Scotland, and which were made clear by the Learned Lord Advocate. There was no ob jection to what was proposed with regard to giving the status of ministers to those who directed the forty churches in the Highlands of Scotland. There was no objection to giving the status of parish ministers to the ministers of great towns. His main objection to the Bill was that it was unnecessary, and therefore he should propose that the Bill be committed that day six months. The amendment having been put, Mr. P. M. STEWART said that this was a far more im. portant Bill than its title seemed to indicate. It was one of the most extraordinary and unaccountable attempts at legislation that ever was made in that House. It was, in fact, a Bill for Church extension, and a Bill for this purpose was introduced at a time when a great secession had taken place from the Established' Church of Scotland. How would English Mem bers like to have such a Bill proposed, if a secession took place in England ? But more emphatically he put the question to Irish Members on both sides of the House, who had experience of what it was to possess churches without con gregations. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to object to several of the details of the measure. He thought there was a salutary tendency in the law to prevent persons indulging in their charitable propensities at the expense of their successors. 'I here was no precedent for a Bill of this description. Why should they offer these facilities for the extension of a Church which was already much too large for the wants of those be longing to it, while they offered no such facilities to the real Church of Seotland— the Free Church ? They gave permis sion to take lands for railroads—they were now giving per mission to take lands for the purpose of extending the Esta blished Church. How would they treat an application on the part of the Free Church to take lands— VISIT OF THE KING OF SAXONY. (At this period o f th e H on. M em b er ' s speech h i s M a j es t y th e King of Saxony entered the Howe. His Majesty occupied the seat of the Sergeant -at-Arms, and appeared to pay great attention to the proceedings. Soon after the King of Saxony entered the House, Sir Robert Peel went up to his Majesty, and entered into conversation with him. No interruption, how ever, took place in the proceedings of the House, and the de bate proceeded as though his Majesty had not been present.] He believed the object of the Bill was to restore Dr. M‘Leod to the status of a 1 arish minister. He had a great respect for Dr. M‘Leod personally ; but he made himself exeeedinily con spicuous w h en t h e Ri g h t H on . B aro n e t (Sir R. Peel) visited Glasgow some years back, and the general belief was that the main o bj ec t o f thi s Bill was to restore this gentleman to the position of a parish minister. Mr. HUME was sorry that this Bill had been introduced. It was quite unnecessary, as five hundred new chapels h a d been erected in Scotland within the last eighteen m ont h s. It was also contrary to all sound principle, a n d h e thought the object of its introduction was to call off attention from more important questions.—(Laught er. ) He should give it all the opposition in his power. Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., said he would oppose the Bill as nothing less than a confiscation of property.--(Hear. He had heard nothing to show a necessity for this Bill. There were many churches in Scotland which had no c ongregat i ons, and it was perfectly unjustifiable to bring in this measure for the support of the deserted Church. Mr. WALLACE could not be persuaded that the object of the measure was not to bring the people of Scotland to think less of their new Free Church than they did. There was already p l enty o f space, and to spare, in the churches of the Establish ment, and it was to the new Church the patronage of the Government should be extended, although he himself was s still a member of the old Church. —( A laugh.) The effect of the measure would be to divide the people of Scotland, and to create dissensions amongst them, upon that very theme, the national religion, upon which they had been so much united. He supported the amendment.—( Hear. ) Sir JAMBS GRAHAM was surprised that the Hon. Gen tleman who had just sat down could say that the Bill was brought in with objects which had not been avowed. The Hon. Gentleman ought at least to give his grounds for that statement.--( Hear, hear.) The principle of the measure was not Erastian—it was a pr i nc i p l e whic h . had been always upheld in the best times of the Scotch Church. It had been said that a great secession had lately taken place, and as the debate proceeded the number of the seceders seemed to have gradually increased. The Right Hon. Member for Perth had stated them at 800,000. The Hon. Member for Renfrew had increased them to a million, and had added that only a small amount was left in Scotland attached to the Esta blished Church. To that statement he demurred.. Although 150 churches had been vacated, they had experienced no diffi culty in providing suitable ministers—( Opposition cheers)—he meant ministers who had been received by their flocks without objection, and who were every way qualified fur their office. It was only just to the Establishment that every facility should be given for its extension in large districts, by the subdivisors of parishes. In the Highland districts, forty parishes had been erected by the munificence of Parliament, in which the ministers were not able to exercise their full rights. The present Bill wouuld restore them their rights. With regard to the right given to heriters to burden their lands for the endowment of churches, that right could only be exercised by the authority of a court of law, which could entertain no application for such a purpose except from a majority of the heriters. Had the Honourable Members for Perth and Renfrew continued Members of the Establishment, from which they had seceded, not on a point of doctrine, but of discipline only, they would have supported a measure like the present, and why should they now oppose a measure for the extension of that Church in the doctrines of which they be lieved ? This brought to his mind another inconsistency on the part of the Right Hen. Member for Perth. It was scarcely a fortnight since that Right Hon. Gentleman brought forward a motion fur the abolition of subscription of tests in the Scottish Universities, and yet last night he was found in the course of the debate advoca- ing the continuance of tests.—( Chem s from the Ministerial side of the House, and calls of" Order, order," " Chair, chair," from Mr. F. Mettle.) He saw how sore the point was with the Right Hon Gentleman who appealed to the Chair, because he (Sir J. Graham) had alluded to a for mer debate. He would. bow at once in submission to the Chair, but he must be permitted to observe, in passing, that it was with sorrow he observed how sadly and how speedily the bitterness of religious dissent had operated on the mind of the Right Hon. Gentleman.—(Cheers.) His Right Hun. Friend at the head of the Government had given a pledge that every facility should be given to the Established Church of Scotland for the extension of its doctrines. This Bill was the redemption of that pledge. It was upon the prin ciple of that Bill that they were now called upon to decide. The details might be considered in Committee, but, until the House had decided to the contrary, he never could believe that they would reject the principle of such a measure.—( Cheers. ) Mr. P. M. STEWART explained. He had stated that the Free Church amounted to nearly a million. He denied that he had designated the Established Church as a remnant ; what he had said was, that the Free Church was the Church of the ma jority, and the Established Church the Church of the law and the minority. Sir J. GRAHAM had to apologise to the Hon. Member for Renfrew. It was the Hon. Member for St. Andrews who designated the Established Church as a remnant. [At the conclusion of Sir J. Graham's explanation the King of Saxony quitted the House.] Mr. FORBES supported the Bill. After a few words from Mr. SMOLLETT, The House divided, when there appeared— For the motion .. For the amendment Majority ... --54 The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1 being read, Mr. E. ELLICE opposed the clause, on the grounds that it interfered with private right. The LORD ADVOCATE of Scotland supported the clause. Mr. HUME said this clause contained a very important al teration in the present law, and he did not think the Right Hon. Gentleman had adduced any just reasons for making such a change. He had no objections to the endowment of churches, but he was decidedly opposed to members of other persuasions being obliged to pay for the sustainment of doc trines from which they differed. The House should not take the Right Hon. Gentleman's ipse dixit as to the necessity for so important an alteration. Sir . GEORGE CLERK said, the first duty Of the Legis lature was to provide religious inatruc:ion for the rapidly in creasing population, and use present Bill was insufficient for that purpose. Mi. FOX MAULE i.pposed the clause. He had cer tainly prepared a similar Bril to the present one in 1835, but it differed in thin respect, that he proposed that the pa rishes should be divided according to the majority of num bers ; whereas the Bill of the Government proposed to make the division according to the majority of interest. Under these circumstances, he must oppose the clause. The Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, bad charged him (Mr. F. Maule) with inconsistency. Now, he thou ait the last person to make such a charge ought to be the Right Hon. Baronet himself.—( Hear, hear.) The man who wrote " Corn and Currency" and who now sat as the supporter of the agricultural interest, ought to be very cau tious in charging another with inconsistency.—( Hear, hear.) In a celebrated caricature publication of the day, the Right Hon. Baronet was represented as receiving a deputation from the distressed thimble-riggers.—(Laughter.) One of these thimble-riggers was made to ask the Right Hon. Baronet if he had any objection to allow the game of round-about? and the Right Hon. Gentleman replied, " Oh, no, for I have pa tronised round-about all my life."—(Great laughter, in which Sir James Graham joined.) The Right Hon. r.aronet should be careful how he made a charge of inconsistency against another.—( Hear ) Mr. FORBES supported the clause. This Bill was intended to supply the spiritual wants of the poor, and as such he sup ported it. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that however ,he and the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite might differ with respect to many points, at all events they were agreed as to the principle of the clause, which, in point of fact, was founded on the doc trine laid down by Ur. Chalmers himself. The Right Hon. Gentleman was ready in the year 1835 to go a great deal further than the present Bill proposed to do. The' whole question really resolved itself into this—either conformity with, or dissent from the Established Church of Scotland. Mr. FOX M MILE denied that they were then discussing the principle of the Bill. Mr. COLQUHOUN defended the clause. Mr. HUME was quite willing to support any measure for providing religious accommodation for the people; but he was convinced that their physical wants were the great causes of the crimes. Let the Legislature turn its attention to the removal of these, and there would be little occasion for interference in other matters. Mr. COLQUHOUN would not deny that an improvement of their physical condition would tend to improve their morals, but he did not think that was an argument against religious improvement. Mr. P. M. STEWART considered the Bill perfectly use less, and wondered how it got into the House.—( A laugh. ) After a desultory conversation, strangers were ordered to withdraw. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the clause Against it 52 20 Majority -32 Clause 4 was agreed to, after a short discussion. Clause 5 was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clause 6 was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clause 7 was agreed to. On clause 8 being proposed, which enables persons who have life interests to give four acres for sites for glebes, Mr. F. MAULE said he should object to the clause. He thought it most objectionable that those who had only life in terests should have the power of burdening the property of those who were to come after them, by leavini , four acres for sites. He thought that an acre and a half would be quite sufficient. Mr. WALLACE would also oppose the clause. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority for the clause —36 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 9 being proposed, 'Alr. FOX MAULE said, that unless the Right Honour able Gentleman, the Lord Advocate, consented to extend this clause to all churches, he should avail himself of all the forms of the House in opposing it. This clause was similar to the last, but it applied to endowments generally, and was therefore far more extensive. Sir E. COLEBROOKE said he objected to the whole Bill, because it was conceived in the narrowest spirit with respect to the present religious state of Scotland. Mr. F. MAULE proposed an amendment, providing that heirs entail should have a voice in making the endowments. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. BOUVERIE said he should oppose the clause, unless it were extended to all religious denominations. The suggestion not being agreed to, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority for the clause ... —4l The clause was then agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. ELLICE, jun., said he should oppose the clause, be cause it was in fact an additional endowment of the Church of Scotland. After some conversation, the clause wai carried without a division. The remaining, clauses were then agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received on Monday. _ _ SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and he House adjourned at a Quarter to Ten o'clock. ROYAL INFIRMARY FOR CHlLDREN. — Yesterday the anniversary festival of the Royal Infirmary in Waterloo bridge-road, established in 1816, for the purpose of affording gratuitous medical aid to the poor of the metropolis, took place at the London Tavern. Soon after six o'clock about 80 of the leading patrons and supporters of the institution sat down to a plentiful dinner—the Right lion. the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, M.P., in the chair; we also observed Lord Lyttelton. Mr. E. Antrobus, M.P., Mr. H. Kemble, M.P., Major Brereton, Mr. A. K. Barclay, &c., at the head table. After the removal of the cloth, the customary routine of loyal and appropriate toasts were given, and, in the course of the evening, subscriptions and donations amounting to 2851. were handed over to the treasurer, Mr. A. K. Barclay. The annual subscription of 211. from her Majesty, and 101. from the Queen Dowager, were like wise announced by the secretary, who made a gratifying statement relative to the funds of the Society, which it ap peared had been sufficiently extended to enable the Com mittee to liquidate a heavy building debt, exceeding 2,0001., although the necessity of increased support was strongly urged upon the meeting, the period having arrived for carry ing out the proposition of the founders of the charity, by Opening the wards for in-patients, and by the delivery of clinical lectures on the most important infantile disorders. Mr. W. C. Deady, one of the medical staff, in acknowledging the compliment paid that body, alluded to the circumstance of medical aid being now affbrded, by means of this institu tion, to the sick parent of the suckling child, whereby organic disease in the latter, in many instances, is obviated. He trusted the importance of this new feature in their operations would not be underrated, although it may have been the cause of additional expenditure. Mr. Dendy also drew their attention to the increased benefits now afforded the infant patients by their removal from.the unwholesome atmosphere which surrounded the wretched homes of the poor, and which originated much of tile disease prevalent amongst them. The Noble Chairman did not get through the duties of his office till a late hour ; the ordinary intervals occurring in the pro ceedings of the evening having been agreeably extended by the glee and solo singing of Messrs. li. Phillips, Hawkins, T. Cooke, and Hatton, under the direction of Mr. Hawes, whose arrangements gaye general satisfaction. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. THE HOMEWARD BOUND.
