They showed the utter helplessness of the Conservative Government in that State NVIliCh is vulgarly supposed to represent the interests of the peole. On the order of the day being moved, by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, for the House going into Committee on • the Vestries in Churches Bill, Mr. litmr. moved that it be committed that day six months. Sir JAMES GRAHAM was in favour of the Bill, and Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought that circumstance the best argument against it, as everything the Right Hon. Baronet touched was doomed to ruin. The effect of the. protectio n afforded by Sir JAMES GRAHAM was like that of the upas tree—it poisoned all it reached. On a division, there was a Majority of 14 for going into Committee. Mr. I lumn, on this result, moved the adjournment of the House. An amusing discussion followed, for which \le refer to the report. Sir It. PEEL and the 'OLlre.i FOE -GEN ER AL spoke i n support of the Bill, though they admitted some amendments would be necessary. Another division took place, on- Mr. Humes motion, which was rejected by a majority of 8. On Mr. Hymn intimating that he would move adjournment on adjournment, Mr. O'BRIEN moved that the House adjourn, when, according to the report, there was a roar of " ayes," and the House broke up, amidst shouts of laughter, at Seven o'clock. . At the usual weekly meeting of the Anti-corn-law League, which took place yesterday evening in Co ient-garfien Theatre, Mr. COBDEN, alluding to the approaching debate in the House of Commons on the bread-tax, observed :—" Before we meet again in this place fir the promotion of the objects of free trade, our friend .Mr. VILLIERS will have submitted I this question to the consideration and decision of Parliament. I will not now stay to inquire as to the probable manner in which the Members of the House nifty treat that motion ; it is sufficient for us t o k now that, after their election to Parliament for the pur pose., of upholding and continuing monopoly, the rank and file of the monopelists, who think it right to sacrifice„ every interest of the. .country....to . their own, aro not likely to make any concessions THE SUN, LONDON TriTIRSDAY EVENING, Jii*Nk b , 1844. now." The probability unquestionably is, as the Member for Stockport says, that the Con servatives will vote to a man in favour of the continuance of the corn-laws ; but it is by no means a matter . of certainty that they will do so, for after their late extraordinary and unhesitating changes and tergiversations, at the command of their Coryphmus ) Sir ROBERT PEEL, it is impossible to speculate on the course of conduct they will be likely to pursue on any public question of moment. That they will look pretty sharply after, what they con sider to be, their own interests, may be predicated of them with great safety ; still, as their blind, cringing obe.lience to their despotic chief, and their horror of embarrassing him by any decided manifestation of independence, are apparently stronger feelings with them than even their own selfish interests, there is little dct that if the Premier was to de clare himself a corn-law repealer, the Conser vatives Would instantly declare themselves to the same effect. Whatever measures he thought fit, in the plenitude and - profundity of his po litical wisdom, to bring forward, his sycophantic adherents would be sure to stamp with the seal of their approbation, no matter how absurd or ruinous it migLt be to the welfare of the community. Were he even to cashier Lord LYNDHURST, and make the Devil the keeper of the QUERN'S conscience, we firmly believe that the Conservatives would hail the appointment as one of the most moral and virtuous that could possibly have been made ! As it is not at all likely, however, after his formal announcement at the commencement of the session, of his intention to make, just at present, no further alteration in the corn-laws, that Sir ROBERT PEEL will support Mr. VILLIERS' motion on that question, we may fairly presume that his obsequious party will exhibit equal determination to make no concession on this point, so that nothing more will be obtained by the discussion than an additional proof that the House of Commons represents the sense of the country to no greater extent than it did in the days of the boroughmongers. Mr. COBDEN next proceeded to give an explanation of the reasons which induced him to give his late vote on the Sugar question; and remarked, in reference to the present aspect of affairs in Parliament :—" He was sorry to say that such was the opinion of political parties throughout the country, that his belief was that people cared very little for one party or the other, and that there was very little to choose between them." There is but too much truth in this obser vation. Both Whigs and Tories have long lost the confidence of the country—the latter, however, to a much greater degree than the former—and what is a still more discouraging sign of the times, is the daily increasing conviction among the people, that there is scarcely a public man of any note whose consistency and disinterestedness may be relied on. For this general distrust we have, in a considerable measure, to thank Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose indifference to principle and resolute adherence to the expediency system of government, which have infected a great majority of the House of Commons, have at length fully opened the eyes of the public, and taught them what they may expect—or rather what they may not expect—from their representatives in Parliament. We have, however, one consolation. Things cannot continue much longer in their present state, for it is the nature of an evil, when once it has attained a certain height, to generate its own remedy. pression, has been allowed on all hands to have been the most signal failure of which Sir ROBERT was ever guilty, must now form the pleasing occupation of the miserable majority of Monday night. To reconcile the respect, the sympathy, or the confidence of the British people, with the shipwreck it has made of its public spirit, its moral consistency, and its constitu tional independence, will be the more difficult task of the House of Commons. Madrid journals of the 12th announce that the bank of San Fernando had advanced money for the pay ment of the next dividend, but no arrangement had been agreed to between the Finance Minister and the committee of capitalists. The Three per Cents. were done at 26/ for cash, and 27 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 days. - The discussions in the bureaux of the French Chamber of Deputies on the Education Bill, have excited much interest at Paris, and leave little doubt that the ob noxious measure will either be materially altered, or rejected altogether. Most of the journals are opposed to it, and it does not find even one supporter among the members of the Committee appointed' by the Chamber to draw up the report. In the debate which took place in the Committee on Monday, M. TIIIERS made a strong attack upon the Jesuits—in other words, the Church—defended the claims of the University, and announced his determination to op pose the Bill in every legitimate way. Other Mem bers also spoke against the Jesuits. Possibly this result may convince the clergy that they have disclosed their scheme 'prematurely, and that they must make more converts among the people, before they can contend against the State, and also public opinion throughout France. On this subject the Presse has the following remarks :—" The ultra-University spirit yesterday carried off a signal victory, in the nomina tion of the Commissioners on the Secondary Instruction Bill. The nine Commissioners are thus distributed—for the liberty of instruction, more or less extended, Messrs. DE TOCQUEVILLE, CARNE, and ODILON BARROT ; for the University monopoly, Messrs. ST. MARC GIRARDIN, DE REMUSAT, THIERS, QUINETTE, and DUPIN. M. DE SALV.kNDY attacked the Bill in general, without declaring to which side he leant. The question will, therefore, behold in the opposed camps the Left Centre, represented by Messrs. THIERS and REMUSAT, and on the other the Left, represented by Messrs. ODILON BARROT and DE TOCQUEVILLE. This result is equiva lent to an indefinite adjournment of the solution of the question ; and we are firmly convinced would have been altogether different had the clergy—com prehending that all agitation on its part must inevit ably have the effect of raising up against it old dis trusts badly extinguished—abstained from interfering in the question by means of the daily press." The quarrel between the French bar and the Pre sident of the Courßoyale still continues. M. SEGUIER will make no apology, and the barristers consequently refuse to plead, so that public business is en tirely at a stand. The subjoined account of what took place in the Court on Monday appears in Ga lignanis Messenger of Tuesday " Several conferences having taken place between the Pro cureur-General, M. Hebert, the Judges of the Cour Royale, and the Baton n i er o f th e O r d er o f Advocates, with the hope of bringing about a reconciliation between M. Seguier, the President, and the bar, of the differences which we have no ticed, there was great agitation yesterday morning at the Palais de Justice, and the first chamber, over which M. Se pier pre:ides, was full of advocates in plain clothes, anxious to learn the result of the steps taken by their council. Messrs. Chaix d'Estange the Batonnier, Marie, Bethmont, and Lion ville, were the only barristers who appeared in their official costume. At half-past nine the Court sat, and the President called the first cause, without taking any notice of what had passed. On this M. Pecan, the avoue, moved that the hear ing might be postponed for a week, on account of the absence of his advocate. This was done, with an announcement that if there were no pleadings on the part of the suitor, the law officers of the Crown would be heard. Two other causes were called, and put off in like manner, to be judged on the report of the counsellors of the Court. All the rest of the causes on the list were afterwards deferred for a week, and the Court broke up." The conduct of the House of Commons in its two divisions, on the amendment moved by Mr. PHILIP MILES on the Sugar Duties Bill, has literally been marked by "double dealing." In our paper of Tues day we showed that, whatever difference of opinion' might exist as to the proposed amended scale of duty , suggested by the Hon. Member for Bristol, the vote! of Friday night last clearly repudiated the scale set forth by the Government, in the first clause of this! new Bill. Now the vote of Tuesday night as clearly , repudiated the amendment of Mr. MILES, and af firmed the original proposal of Government. If; in Committee of the whole House, on the night of the 14th June, a majority of 20 Members, out of 462, then present and dividing, determined that the words which Mr. MILES had called upon them to expunge, in order to make room for those of his amendment, should not stand part of the original clause, it is utterly impossible for men of common consistency and plain understanding to conceive, to understand, how, on the night of the 17th, a majority of 22 members out of 488, then and there sitting—a similar Committee—could have brought themselves to decide that the same words should stand part of such clause. The common sense of such self-contra diction is as hard to perceive as its common honesty; and both the one and the other of these qualities— if the proceedings adopted really possess them— it is as hard to detect, as it would be to define the " privilege of Parliament." Perhaps, of that lex non scripts that undefined and undefinable right of violating its own pretensions in any given number of cases, and vindicating them in any other given num ber—that right which insists on slumbering at its own pleasure in one gallery, and being alive and militant in another—dead as to the reporters for the newspapers, alive against all the rest of mankind—of that right, this title to enact self-stultification may be part and parcel. But to any other than mere Parlia mentary apprehensions, it will be thought to have resulted, as the affair under our consideration, in one of the most pitiful exhibitions of vacil lating, timid, subservient, puerile, capricious legislation, ever recorded in the annals of a de liberative assembly. How the 20 minority of Friday expanded into the majority of 22 of Monday, we do not stop to inquire. It may have been a compromise —it may have been a bargain—it will never be thought an honest vote. It may have been a " Quid pro Quo," agreed to be contributed by one section of the House to her MAJESTY'S Ministers, DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF SAXONY...4ES in return for the aid afforded by Mini s t e r s t o th a t sec - Majesty took leave of the Quee n thi s morn i ng, and , quitted the .

Let each be judged according to his deeds." THIS DAY'S NEWS. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY, THE BARON DE BODE v. THE QUEEN,-ON A PETITION ON RIGHT. This case was specially appointed for trial at bar to-day. Shortly after ten o'clock Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Pattison, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Coleridge took their seats on the bench. Several eminent foreign counsel were in attendance. On the Judges taking their seats, the case was 'called on, and a jury sworn. Mr. MELLOR opened the pleadings, and Mr. Hrnn proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the Baron de Bode, and in favour of the petition of right. In the course of the address he should have to make to the jury, it would become hisduty toexplainthe nature of the proceeding which they were called upon that day to consider; but before doing so he would make a few observations, as introductory to the case. He thought it was almost impossible that any gen tleman on the jury should not have heard of the case of the Baron de Bode. They must have seen his name frequently in the newspapers; and that very circumstance, he felt no doubt, would induce the jury to look well into the merits of the claim. Eleven years ago the case of the Baron de Bode was investigated by Sir Thomas Wilde. At that time he lost his seat as a Member of Parliament, and he, Mr. Hill, ob tained one ; and in consequence of that, he was re quested by Sir Thomas Wilde to study and advocate this great case, and after that investigation he was every day more convinced of the soundness of the claim, and of the in justice, the cruel injustice, done to the Baron de Bode. The present Baron was a claimant under the treaty of 1814, be tween England and France, by which the French Govern ment set apart a sum of seven millions for the satisfaction of the claims of English subjects who had been spoliated during the time of the French revolution ; and the Baron was one of those who had been spoliated. Now with re spect to the history of the case—it was this :—the father of the present Baron was a noble of the German Empire, and had no connexion with France. Early in life, however, he entered into . the French service, but he still remained a foreigner, or native of Germany; in 1775, the Baron came to England and married an English lady, in which country the present Baron de Bode was born at Luksley-park. The Baron entered the French army, and attained the rank of Colonel in the Nassau regiment. In 1787, he possessed a lease of certain salt works at Soultz in Lower Alsace. It was necessary to spend considerable sums of money on these salt works to make them available. The Lords of Soultz had formerly been independent, but prior to the time of Charlemagne, the Lord of Soultz, like many other Eetty Sovereigns, placed himself und er th e protect i on o f t h e lector of Cologne, reserving to himself all his independent rights, but engaging to perform military service to the pro tecting power, who, on the failure of issue male, had a right of making a presentation of the Lordship of Soultz to some other person in the same terms. At the end of the thirty years' war, Alsace was ceded to France by the Emperor. The Emperor giving up all that he had a right to give up and no more. The Baron of Fleckenstein, Lord of Soultz, was by name excepted from this treaty, except that politically he was united to France. If he sought for justice, he was to seek it in the Imperial Chamber, and the succession to Soultz was to be regulated by the laws of the empire. The treaty of Nimeguen re-established the treaty of Munster, which was again confirmed by the treaty of Ryswick, and various o the r treaties — more particularly by the treaty of 'Versailles in 1783. At this time the 'Baron de Bode became connected with Soultz. The house of Fleckenstein had become extinct in 1720, and the French house of Soubise Rohan was pre sented to it by the Archbishop Elector of Cologne, and that family possessed it at the time Baron Charles de Bode became connected with the property. The Rohan who pos sessed the estate was without heirs, and the Baron Charles de Bode used all his influence to become the successor of the Rohan family. A considerable portion of his wife's property was expended in douceurs to persons to interest themselves on his behalf, and the Baron Charles became possessed of the Lordship of Soultz. He derived a revenue from his vassals, who held under him, and there were great mineral riches on the property ; there were salt mines, asphalte mines, petro leum mines, and coal mines. Part of the land had been re stored to the Baron by the French Parliament, but he claimed compensation for having been deprived of his pro perty so long, and for the portion he had lost. Before the Baron Charles had completed building his mansion, the Re volution broke out. The Baron Charles had taken care, be fore that period, to leave his son, the present claimant, in vested as his successor. At the commencement of the French Revolution the English were the most popular of all foreign ers ; and as the present claimant was an Englishman by birth, and an English subject, it occurred to the Baron Charles that it would be better he should abdicate the land, which he had the power to do, in favour of his son. This was in the year 1791, the Baron Henry being 14 years of age. The Baron Charles administered the property in the name of his son up to the year 1793. In the October of that year, the father and son, in order to avoid the fury of the revolution, determined to quit Alsace for Germany, and their property was seized and confiscated as the property of emigrants. Great spolia tion was committed on the property. The Baron de Bode ultimately took refuge in Russia, and the present claimant entered the Russian army, and again saw Alsace, when, along with the victorious army, he pursued the French across the Rhine, and was present at the treaty of Paris. By that treaty it was provided that France should, from time to time, advance sufficient money to pay in full all English subjects who had been sufferers by undue and unjust confiscations. The French Government had fulfilled that treaty with strict honour and unexampled liberality. The fund was immedi ately set apart by the French Government, and the sufferers were entitled to the interest of the money until the claims were finally settled. A mixed commission had ascertained the probable amount of these claims, and the French Govern ment transferred 6,000,000/. to the English Government on those terms. The English Government undertook to satisfy all claims in full. If any surplus were left it was to be the property of the English Government ; if there were any deficiency the English Government was to make it good. It was enacted that no claim should be admitted unless sent in within three months. Unfortunately no officer was ap pointed to receive these claims. The Baron de Bode sent in his claim by means of the French Ambassador, the Duke de Richelieu, who, thinking the Baron was a French subject, had omitted to insert the Baron's name on the register. The Baron came to England and consulted Sir S. Romilly, who convinced the Duke de Richelieu that the Baron was a British subject ; but unfortunately his name did not appear in the register, and therefore he was not within the Act of Parlia ment. This, however, did not vitiate his claim. All the effect would have been, that if the Commissioners had refused to hear his claim, he could not have come to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus. His claim, however, was admitted by the Commissioners, and he came to England in 1819. Three years elapsed . before he . was called upon by the Com missioners to substantiate his claim. Now, under the cir cumstances of the case, it . was adding injury to insult to insist upon the same strict proof as would be required in a court of justice; yet, with an ignorance as lamentable as it was ridiculous, these Commissioners required from the Baron de Bode, in the greatest possible haste, the production of certain documents, which, by the law of the country, he never could have had in his possession, and of others which had been destroyed by the spoliations of his property, and, under these circumatances, the Cornmissioners rejected his claim. In other cases, on the prediiction of fresh evidence, the Commissioners had 'opened their award, and allowed claims which they had before rejected, but that which had been granted to others was refused to the Baron de Bode. It could not be on account of the amount of his claim, for claims of a larger amount than his had been admitted after previous rejection. He could conceive reasons for this, but as he was without proof, he would hot further allude to them. The case was brought before the House of Commons successively by Mr. Littleton and Mr. Stanley, now Lord Stanley. It was met by assertions the most preposterous. He, himself, then brought it forward, and was counted out; In the next ses sion, by the help of Sir F. Pollock; le procured a Committee for investigation, and it was thought- right by the House of Commons to let in a flood of litigant claimants to oppose the Baron on the ground that his . claim if . admitted would exhaust the whole surplus, and thus the affair was protracted until nearly the close of the . session; when the Committee re ported that the case was nearly completed, and that if they were re-appointed in the following session, they would be able to make a report. That Committee required the production of documents, which, with great sacrifices, the Baron pro cured; and having reduced the Baron to absolute starva tion, they refused to re - establish the Committee, and never, in the course of his reading, had he, except once, read of such a shameful proceeding as this refusal, and that was the decree of Robespierre, that the trial of the Girondists should come to an end, whether the evidence were finished or not. The Commissioners considered that the cession of the lands to the claimant was a form to deceive the French Government, and therefore rejected the claim. It was not a thing done in a corner, nor with the purpose of deceiving; but that was a mere question of six years' income ; for ad mitting that cession was not valid, he would succeed as heir to his father, who died in 1797, and as it was discovered that the Baron de Bode's claim had never been investigated upon its merits, it was determined to apply to this Court for a mandamus to the Lords of the Treasury to liquidate the claim ; but, as the amount of the claim had not been ascertained, that application was unsuc cessful. There remained one resource open. The law has provided that the subject shall have iiedress even against the Crown, by petition of right. A subject having a claim against the Crown petitions that right may be done. The Queen, under the sign manual, endorsed the writ " Let right be done," and the writ was retu rne d t o t h e C ourt o f Chancery. A commission issued; a jury was impanelled in the year 1842, and witnesses were examined. If the Crown had thought proper to appear, the case might have concluded at that time ; but the law officers of the Crown did not think proper to appear; they rather chose to take advantage of the chances of a rehearing. The jury found for the Baron to the amount of between 300,00 W. and 400,0001. In Europe it was believed that an English jury had 'com - polled the Government to do justice, but the Govern ment had no idea of paying the money. They deter mined to have the case tried again. The Crown refused to give the Baron any facilities for investigation, but if the ob ject was to stifle investigation they would be disappointed, for the Baron's witnesses were in Court to prove his right. The Crown chose to traverse, that was to deny every fact of the casd; and they had moreover, which was to him a matter of unmixed astonishment, chosen to plead the Statute of Limita tions. the Could t a h e rich e a h t u t e a n ai l p 1 3: o t m o e a r f c u a l s e n o a f t o h n i kind? , turn r C a o a u a l d d s u a p y o , n ~ ,n y ap a o ora ro a l dt aam al n a tal e the . ik yoaba ß v a e ron d subin e itt ß ed ode t , and 0 in- the Board-room, and there lay down across the door-way, so as to prevent ingress or egress.

After having so long received in different advices from Rio, our merchants are gratified at the improved tone of their letters by the last and present arrival, and which it is hoped may continue, as, upon the prosperity of the Brazilian traders themselves depends not only the extent of our intercourse, but, perhaps more than with many other countries, the punctuality of the remittances, since it must be admitted that on this ground, if not at present, at least, not many years since, there was great cause of complaint.

How strange it was that men should make use of this plea on behalf of the Crown, while under similar circumstances they would be ashamed of making use of such a plea for themselves. Where did it come from? Not from the Soli- - - citor-General, he had CeenTi;;;"shOTi a time in office. Not from the Attorney-General, he well knew that there was no limitation to the petition of right. Not from Sir Frederick Pollock, he had admitted the rights of the Baron de Bode. He could not even say that it was at the instigation of the Devil, for he had had the satisfaction of knowing that gen tleman---LHere Mr. Hill, amidst much laughter, turned and bowed, to Mr. Waddington]—for many years, and he would not forfeit his friendship even on account of that plea, which, however, was innocuous, for there was no limit t o a p e titi on o f right. It was pleaded, thirdly, that the cause of action bad occurred before the reign of the present Queen. Yes, and before the life of the present Queen. For thirty years had the Baron de Bode been seek ing in vain for justice. Would the jury refuse it him ? Would they consult the miserable pecuniary profit of their country rather than her honour? If ever there was a case to (ask a jury for favour it was this. But he did not ask for favour for the Baron de Bode; he only asked for justice.

A vestry meeting was day held in the vestry-room of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, for the purpose' 9f taking into con sideration the dilapidated state of the Chard: and other matters. The Rev. Dr. CROLY, D.D., took the chair and said—that the meeting had been called in consequence of the state of the church in which they were then assembled. They were all aware that one of the large windows of that church had re cently fallen in. He was happy to say that they were not at that moment stained with the blood of any of their fellow citizens—they were happily not at that moment called upon to attend a coroner's inquest to account for extraordinary negligence which amounted almost to criminality. But such might have been the case. When the window fell into the street, no one, at the moment, was present. He might say that this was most providential, seeing that underneath the window was a spot where per sons frequently congregrated, and the absence of persons in that part of the street at the time the accident occurred, was only to be accounted for by its having happened just at the moment when a shower of rain was falling. Had the window fallen an hour before, that street might have been strewed with lifeless bodies. Such was the heavy material of which the window was composed, that had it fallen down when persons were in the street, it would have been impossible for many of them to have escaped without being, if not killed, at least, seriously woutaled. This was a warning to them to prevent such an accident again occurring. A letter had lately appeared in one of the papers, stating that steps had been taken to repair the church. That letter purported to come from their late—he would not call him their present—churchwarden. He (Dr. Croly) had been so much struck with what appeared to be the reality of that letter, that he immediately made inquiries, and found that the keys of the church had not been given up by the person who usually kept them. He therefore concluded that the letter which he had seen was founded on an extraordi nary error. The next day, however, another state ment appeared, and such was the appearance of that letter also, that he was at a loss to know which of the two was genuine. The letters were similar in form, and bore the same name, and he really was quite at a loss to know which was the real Simon Pure.—(Laughter.) But, however, he would say no more o n th a t su bj ec t. One thing was quite clear, that the present state of the church could not continue. —(Hear, hear.) He thought that the parishes were anxious to come to any arrangement which looked like a fair settle ment of the matters in dispute. The state of the church he believed was such that it was not fit for the congregation to assemble in it.—(Hear, hear.) This was not a personal question at all, and he thought it would be well for Mr. Alderman Gibbs and his brother churchwardens—if 'Churchwardens they could be called—to lay a statement before the parishioners which could be submitted to counsel or any body else, so as to bring the whole matter to a final settlement. He thought Mr. Alderman Gibbs in the first instance, ought to resign—(Hear, hear)—and leave the church to them, and he (D r . C ro l y ) felt that every negotia tion between Alderman Gibbs and the parish would be con ducted in a spirit on the part of the parish of fairness, justice, and even oiltedulgence—that indulgence which ought to be shown to a man who found himself in difficulties, out of which he could not extricate himself—(Hear, hear.) The Alder man'could not desire to be churchwarden for ever and ever. It was the duty of a churchwarden to render his accounts every year.—(Hear, hear.) He (Dr. Croly) did not ask whe ther-Alderman Gibbs had done that or not. The vestry were able to satisfy themselves on that point. His next duty was to attend to the repairs of the church.(Hear, hear.) Whe ther Mr. Alderman Gibbs had done this was a matter into which he (Dr. Croly) would not enter, although he thought facts spoke pretty strongly on the subject.—( Hear, hear.) The next duty of the churchwarden was to take care that all payments necessary to the support of the church, and other matters connected with the parish, should be made good within the year. Whether this had been done in St. Stephen's Walbrook was a question. The next duty of the churchwarden was to take care that the parish did not get into debt to anybody ; and whether all these duties had been performed byAlderman Gibbs he (Dr. Croly) left it to the vestry to decide. But another duty which a churchwarden had to perform was that of being present on a Sunday in the parish church during the solemnisation of Divine service. It was his duty to be there as the protector of the congrega tion. ,Hej(Dr. Croly) was un w illi ng t o s p ea k o f M r . Alder man Gibbs's conduct in this respect from obvious per sonal reasons. Probably Mr. Alderman Gibbs did not at tend because the parishioners were not sufficiently sanc tified for him—(Laughter)—or that he was such a pro found theologian that their form of worship was not deep enough for him. During the last two years Mr. Ald. Gibbs had only been present once or twice, when he (Dr, Croly) had written to him to attend on the occasion of a charity sermon being preached. A PARISHIONER—TO receive the money perhaps. Dr. Criorx—Certainly. - Alderman Gibbs took the money— (Laughter)—it was the churchwarden's duty to receive - it. Why Alderman Gibbs should remain in an office so distasteful to him he (Dr. Croly) could not under stand.—(Hear.) It was desirable, however, that this matter, respecting which they were met, should not be allowed to linger any longer. It was desirable that repairs should be done to the church. He thought the first step to be taken towards an amicable arrangement was for Mr. Alderman Gibbs to resign ; and after that, that the church should be closed for a certain period for the purpose of having a tho rough survey, not merely of the windows and tower, but of the roof, and every other part of the building. He thought this ought to be done immediately ; for, next Sunday, if there should be the smallest indication of any portion of the church giving way, the consequences might be most frightful, as an immediate rush would be made by all the congregation out of the church. This was the suggestion he had to make, and he would, therefore, leave the matter in the hands of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letter, which he had received that morning : " Sir,—ln consequence of your note, I have attended at the church, and have inspected the tower. It appears that the border of the window in the inner side of the tower had been filled in with glazed lead lights in lieu of couvre boarding, as is the case with the other three windows in the east, south, and west side of this part of the tower. These lead lights caused an obstruction to the passage of the wind through the tower in that direction, and from this circumstance, and also in consequence of the decayed condition of the lead lights, and of the iron work by which they were secured to the masonry, the wall work of the window was forced out wards. It will be necessary that the window on the northern side of the tower should be protected, either with a strong frame or a couvre board and lead lights properly secured It is also necessary that the frame and louvre boarding of the three other windows should be repaired forthwith. I also re commend that the stone balusters round the other part of the tower should be secured, and that any portion of the stone ornaments which may be found loose should be removed. Scaffolding should be fixed for.the purpose of a proper exa mination of the other parts of the masonry, which I will direct on receiving instructions to that effect. '" I am, &c. (Signed) "JOHN GRIFFITHS." Mr. Roo( said, that Mr. Alderman Gibbs had expressed his intention of not defending the Chancery suit respecting the churchwardenship ; and, therefore, the only question be tween the parish and Mr. Alderman Gibbs, was a question of accounts. If Mr. Gibbs, therefore, would produce an honest account, such an account as an honest man would pass, the parish would accept it; nor would they scrutinise them too minutely, or consider whether the Lord Chancellor would re ceive them or not. Their object was not to punish Mr. Alder man Gibbs, but to provide against the future.—(Hear.) Mr. FLIGHT said that no official information had been re ceived by the legal adviser of the vestry from Alderman Gibbs' legal adviser, that Mr. Alderman Gibbs did not intend to defend the Chancery suit ; and therefore they must con sider that it was proceeding. Mr. Rocx said they had received the information from a respectable person. He thought it would be well for the Rector to make a specific proposition respecting this matter himself. The CHAIRMAN repeated his former suggestion, and added that their first grand object was to get rid of Mr. Alderman Gibbs.- - --(Cheers.) After some conversation it was proposed that Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Whittaker should be called on to meet Messrs. Rock and Flight, to come to some determination on the . question of repairing the church. Mr. FLIGHT objected to this, and suggested that, as the validity of the election of the new churchwarden would be tried in the course of a fortnight in a court of law, it would be well to leave the consideration of this subject until after that time. _ Mr. Wifisrutt said he believed there was property avail-. Able for the necessary repairs, amounting to 8001. a year, and that had been stated in 1840 to Mr. Alderman Gibbs, but he had not thought proper to make any reply, further than by sending a specification of repairs, amounting to about 2,000/., at the end of three years. With respect to the motion under consideration, he should strongly object to two persons chosen by the parish acting in unison with two other persons whom the parish did not recognise. Fir. BRANDRUM said he would not meet the persons re ferred to. Mr. ROCK said his proposition had been made in the 'spirit of peace, and not because he wished to a pp ear i n the unwonted position of the eulogist of Mr. Alderman Gibbs. It was absolutely necessary that the church should be repaired, in order that public worship might continue to be celebrated in the church, and this was the main object to be kept in view.—(llear, hear.) He thought it quite possible for Mr. Flight and himself to meet Mr. Alder man Gibbs and Mr. Whittaker, to discuss this subject, with out entering in the least into any question of right. There seemed to be some difficulty in the churchwarden of St. Ben net's meeting them, on account of come funds on which that parish made a claim. Mr. BRANDRU M said his conviction was that that parish was liable to a third of all the expenses. After a short conversation, the motion was withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN said he thought they ought not to sepa rate without coming to some resolution. It was not sate for the church to continue in its present state, and lie trusted that the vestry would relieve him from the responsibility under which he felt himself to be placed. They must at least say whether the church should be closed or not. Mr. Roc( observed, that according to law, the spiritual court might excommunicate every inhabitant of the parish if the church was left unrepaired. Mr. WILLIAMS then proposed, " That in consequence of the obvious dilapidations of the church tower, and the proba ble dilapidations of other portions of the church ; it is abse lutely necessary to close the church of St. Stephen's, Wal brook from this day until further 'notice." Mr. HENRY ROCK having seconded the motion, it was car ried unanimously.

SlN—Coke gives the following names to different Pat , liaments, viz.:- 42d Henry lll.—lnsanum Parliamentum. 12th Edward IL—The Parliament of Whitebands. sth Edward lll.—Parliamentum bonum. 10th Richard ll.—Parliamentum quod fecit mirabilia. 21st Richard H.—Magnum Parliamentum. 6th Henry IV.—Parliamentum indoctum. 4th Henry Vl.—Parliamentum fustium. 14th Henry VIII.—The Black Parliament. 3d Charles I.—Benedictum Parliamentum. Perhaps you will allow me to suggest that the present Parliament be denominated so as hereafter to be known in history as THE JIM CROW PARLIAMENT. It will only be for historians to point to the different divi sions on the Factories Bill and the Sugar Duties Bill, in order to explain the appellation.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, Ilfracombe, June 19, 1844.
