A special general meeting of this company was held on Monday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of communicating to the shareholders further information respecting the progress of the company's affairs, Mr. J. D. Powles, in the absence of Lord Hardwicke, in the chair. The report was read. It stated that the commis sioner on his return to the settlement from New Zealand found all the affairs of the company in a very satisfactory state, and all their servants in the enjoy ment of good health and spirits. It appeared by letters from Mr. Towns, the company's agent at Sydney, that the Earl of Hardwicke had been reported off Howe's Island with eighty barrels of sperm oil on board; and on ' the 18th of August last tne brig Governor arrived from Sydney with the stores which the commissioner had or dered in April. The bay whaling season at the islands had by no means realised the expectations entertained by the commissioner shortly before his departure for New Zealand, no oil having been taken up to the time of his return, and there was but little chance of anything being done that season, as the New Zealanders had all proceeded to cultivate the lands for potatoes, and they would not continue their duty on board ship until after they had finished their work. Se veral vessels had arrived with a supply of stores. The Samuel Enderby had returned with 191 barrels of sperm oil, the produce of an eight months' voyage. On l the 7th of January last a large shoal of black fish entered the bey, and being driven up Laurie Harbour, 54 of them were capured, and yielded 51 barrels of oil. A large quantity of sperm oil was shortly expected in England, having been shipped at Sydney in March. The Sir James Ross, Sir Ed ward Perry, and the Lord Nelson arrived at the islands the latter end of January, all in good order, and their crews in good health. The Sir James Boss took in 2 0 6 barrels of sperm oil and 81 barrels of common oil, which was a very fair quantity. The whole of the company's ships, now increased to nine by the addition of the Black Dog, would be fairly engaged in fishing during the presei,t year; end it was thought that they might anticipate the arrival of a satisfactory amount of produce within twelve months of the pre sent period. The statistical details with reference to the settlement in January, showed that there were 94 white persons, exclusive of the seamen, 3 horses, 45 horned cattle, 258 sheep, 51 lambs. The buildings erected had been a storehouse, a cooper age, a blacksmith's shop, a powder magazine, and eighteen dwellings, and it was also intended to erect a building to serve for a sailor: home whilst in port. The land cleared and under cultivation was about tour acres, and about half a mile of road male. The only information as to surveys of land was that Enderby bland had been surveyed, and its length was found to be 21 miles. The opinion of an intelli gent gentleman as to the soil and climate was, that the reports respecting the quantity of wet weather which were ebout were unfounded, and that the climate was very healthy, and the cold not greater than was agree able. A long discussion ensued on the motion for the adop tion of the report, and in answer to questions it trans pired thlt 11r. George Dundas, M.P., one of the direc tors, intended going out to inspect the settlement, free of expense to the company. It was stated that the value of the oil taken for the six months was about 5,2001. It It appeared that Mr. Enderby was still a defaulter in shares to the amount of 7,5001. Some conversations ensued relative to the directors borrowing money to increase the operations of the company, but no resolu tion to that effect was adopted, and it was left to the dis cretion of the direcfors. The report was then unanimously adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. WRECK OF THE EMIGRANT SHIP _ HALCYON. ___ We regret having to record the loss of the American emigrant ship Halcyon, which aailt , d hence on the 17th ult., with upwards of 300 passengers, principally Irish and German emigrants, for New York. The whole of the passengers and crew, with the excep tion of one Woman and a child, were providen tially rescued from a watery grave, having been humanely taken on board, almost in the last extremity, by t , e New York ships, Connecticut, Capt. Latham, and the William H. Wharton, Capt. Gates, laden with cotton, on their passage to Liverpool. The Halcyon encoutered a heavy gale on the Bth inst., longitude being about 57i and latitude 42, within Live or six days' sail of New York. The ship, from a succession of disasters, became totally dis abl,d; and, notwithstanding the exertions and skill of Captain Wade and his officers, to which the whole of the passengers we have conversed with bear willing and eager testimony, those on board would most inevitably have perished had not the vessels allath , d to have rendered timely assistance. To Captain Wade, who most courte ously and readily afforded us every information, we are indebted for the following report of the disaster :—"On the Bth of June the Halcyon, when withiq five or six days' sail of New York, was dismasted in a heavy S.E. gale. The fore and mainmasts went by the deck, and the mizen mast below the top. The rudder was rendered useless by the thumping of the spars before they could be got clear and the violent action of the sea. One pump was broken by the cargo fetching away, and the other was so ' much injured as to be rendered nearly useless. Up to the time of the Connecticut and the William H. Wharton coming to the rescue, which was on the I 1 tb, it was impossible, in consequence of the violent rolling of the wreck, to get up a jury mast of sufficient size to steady the sinking ship. All this time the leakage was increasing, the cargo was working, and the hull strain ing violently. One of the steerage passengers, a wo man, sustained a serious injury from some iron rails on deck falling on her feet , and crushing her very much, which c a used her death. Wh on theConneetieu ,ff t and e H. Wharton camedown they took off and crew, with provisions , water, & c., Passengers aoa they n the 12th.

REFUSAL OF A MEDICAL MAN TO ATTEND A WOMAN IN LABOUR. The week before last Mr. Hitchins held an inquest at Marion, near Gainsborough, on the body of Elizabeth Fletcher, who died in child-birth after being delivered of twins. The case excited extreme interest. The husband stated that in April last he spoke to Mr. Smith, surgeon, of Marton, to attend his wife, and that Mr. Smith replied, " Whenever your wife wants me, call upon me, and I will attend." On Tuesday night (the 10th inst.) at nearly 11 o'clock, his wife being taken in labour, he went to Mr. Smith and asked him to accompany him to his wife; but Mr. Smith replied that he would not go. He went home, but though the midwife sent him again, Mr. Smith still refused to come. Fletcher imploringly said, " Do, Mr. Smith, or my wife will die;" but the surgeon said he would not, and that he might " go to b— fur a doctor." Mr. Fairchild, surgeon, of Willingham, residing at a distance of three or four miles from Marton, was then fetched, but before he arrived the poor woman was dead. At this stage of the inquiry the husband sobbed and cried as if heart-broken. The jury expressed a wish to have Mr. Smith present, and the coroner sent for him. The evidence having been read, Mr. Smith said—l deny having promised to attend the deceased : they owed me money, and I was not bound to go. I also deny telling the husband that he might "go to h-- for a doctor." The man was drunk when he came. Coroner—But I apprehend the wife was not drunk; the man states that he had only one pint of beer, and that that was given to him: I will recall him. Being recalled, the man asserted before Mr. Smith that he had engaged him, and that Mr. Smith had pro mised to attend. He added, " I was not drunk, and you know, when I begged and prayed of you to come to my wife as she %% as dying, you told me I might go to h--- for a doctor.'" Mr. Smith—l deny it, and I suppose, Mr. Coroner, my word is as good, at least, as that man's. Coroner—Stay, Mr. Smith, we will test that. Call in a man of the name of Cooper. James Cooper, butcher, stated that on the Tuesday night he felt poorly, and wished Mr. Smith to give him some medicine to take home, and they both went to the surgery from the White Swan. While there the hus. hand of the deceased came, and again asked Mr. Smith to go to his wife, but the latter said he would not. The man begged and prayed of him to go, as he was sure his wile would die. The surgeon declared that he would not go, and that the man '• might go to h— for a doctor." Coroner—Now, Mr. Smith, the jury will form a cor rect estimate with respect to which side the truth has been found on. From your positive denial of the one fact, which has been confirmed by evidence that even you have not disputed, I have little doubt of the truth of the husband's statement that you did promise to attend. That unfortunately wants confirmation, and had it been confirmed it would have become a duty to deal with the case differently from what must, as it stands, necessarily be the issue. By your promise to attend the wife, the husband had, as be supposed, no occasion to apply to any one else, as he relied upon you; but supposing you had not promised, surely, when an appeal for a dying woman was made, and when under nature's severest trial, common huma nity should have induced you to leave a public-house and go the distance of 400 yards to save a fellow-crea ture; but instead of obeying those humane dictates, you not only refused, but forgot decency of language, and outraged all respect for yourself and the profession by adding cruelty to inhumanity. I confess I envy not your feelings. A juror—Mr. Cooper, was Mr. Smith sober? Cooper —Well, I think so. Coroner—Was the husband sober? Cooper—Yes, sir, ho was. Coroner—Another contradiction to your statement, Mr. Smith; and as you have no other explanation, you may retire. _ _ E. S. Harvey, Esq., deposed that he bad seen the de ceased, and had hoard the evidence, and from the facts he could arrive at only one conclusion—that the de ceased had died from excessive bramorrhage and exhaus tion from the loss she had sustained, which might have been averted, if she had had the medical assistance she required. The Coroner aurnmorl up, nnirnarlvorting strongly upon the want of feeling on the part of Mr. Smith and his denial of the truth of the husband's statement, which had been confirmed. The law, he believed, was not stringent enough to puni,h in this instance, or it would never have been more justly carried out. The medical profession was of the highest importance, and only very few in stances of such total disregard of humanity would be found. The evidence was before the jury, and the verdict he would leave to them. The jury then unanimously agreed to the following verdict:—`• That the deceased, from excessive hemor rhage and exhaustion did die; that Mr. Smith, surgeon, did refuse to attend the deceased, although informed that she was in a dying state; and that, from medical evidence, had she had medical aid her death might have been averted. The jury, upon the evidence, are of opi nion thut, although the deceased did die from natural causes, her death might have been prevented had Mr Smith attended."—Sheffield Times. HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE. On Saturday night and early (;n:Tanday morning the neighbourhood of the Barracks, in Silver-street, which has many years been a mora l an d physical nuisance to the whole city, was the scene of a most shocking crime, being an attempt at murder and suicide. It appears that a man named John Waters, a country labourer, had been residing in the barracks several months with a git l named Mary Ann Buah. Latterly they had disagreed and quarrelled. On Saturday, Waters asked the girl to "go home with him and be comfort able," but she refused to live with him again. He then asked her it ho should dine with her on the fallow ing day (Sunday), and if so he would buy something for dinner. To this she agreed, and he then went and purchased some things for dinner and took them to her house. In the middle of tho night, or about one o'clock in the morning, she went in company with another man, at which time Waters was lying under the bed, as she thought, asleep. After the other man had left, Waters commenced a quarrel with the girl; they had high words together, and he caught hold of her by the neck, when she felt a sharp sensation, as though he was pinching her neck, and cried out " 0 John, don't murder me." Her cries alarmed the neighbours, and two men named Maund and Spragg forced the door, and one of them knocked Waters down. Waters got up and ran up a passage, turning into a place where he concealed himself under some stairs. Maund then ran to the station-house and gave information to Sergeant Bateman, who was quickly on the spot. Manwhile two girls dragged Bush out of the kitchen to their own house, and finding her throat cut, they tied an apron round her neck to stop the hemorrhage. Sergeant Bate man found Waters in his place of concealment, and on pulling him out by the collar, found that his throat was also cut. Policeman Workman then came up, and by his assistance the man was taken to the station-house, where also Bush was soon after conveyed, and Mr. Budd, surgeon, was speedily on the spot, and sewed up their wounds. That on Bush's throat was five inches in length, but no artery had been cut; that on Waters's throat con sisted of two cuts, one of which had penetrated his windpipe. Both have been pronounced in a fair way fur recovery. In the house where the shocking occurrence took place, Bateman found in the centre of the kitchen a great pool of blood and a pocket knife lying close by with blood on it; the knife had been recently sharpened. it is said that evidence will be ad duced to prove that Waters had been seen to sharpen the knife, and that he had also threatened the girl Bush. True to her sex, however, she pleaded in his behalf when in cus tody, and endeavoured as far as possible to ward off the consequences of his crime. Her evidence was taken be fore Mr. Sidebottom and Mr. Pierpoint, on Monday, at the police station, and the case was remanded.— Wor cester Chronicle. FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT. A most distressing accident occurred here on Tues day morning last, which resulted in the death of a fine young man named Robert Dalgleieh, who had charge of the steam-engine of the Messrs. Cochrane, manufacturers. While engaged in his attendance upon the engine, which is a con d enser o f 14-h orses power, i and acts n junction with a large waterwheel, he was caught by the breast of his loose jacket by one of the "governor balls," which serves to re gulate the admission of tho steam. His arm was in stantly entangled between the spindle and governor rod, and in a moment he was whirled round and round by the machine with a velocity which was iucreased by the governors being forced down by this obstruction, thus allowing tho steam full power by opening the valve. His cries soon attracted the attention of ttie other workmen, who hastened to his rescue with all speed. Notwithstanding every exertion, a few minutes elapsed before the mechiliery could be brought to a stand, so great was the velocity it had attained. On being dis engaged of the low remaining shreds of clothing which bound the unfortunate man to the engine, a melancholy spectacle presented itself. Almost every article of cloth ing was literally stripped away, and the body dread fully mutilated. The right arm, in particular, by which he was principally entangled, was twisted and crushed till the bones were almost ground down. He sustained, besides other injuries, a severe fracture of the left leg, and on one side the ribs were entirely fractured. The rods to which the governors are attached were bent out almost to a right angle —au instance of the extra ordinary pressure to which the body must have been sub jected.

()vent laws whatever. He then proceeded to etato that elide several of the witnesses examined before the eelecL Ceannittee core certaiely feveurable to the exis tence of pa'ent lews, ()the: s, of great acientitie and gal eseeeence—netriel, Mr. Cubist. the civil en eioser ; Mr. B:uncl, Mr. Reca.rd M.P,, C .lonel Rsed (author of the "Law of 6 orms "), the 5414 , 3 con,ul, sed the present Maser of the Rolls, were adverse to 'teen, the latter especially, on the ground that these t A wS were bael is principle, and nut Advantageous either to the inventor or to the pablie. He (Earl Granville) agreed himself with the views of these witnesses. Although he proposed the Bill he considered patent laws as unadvisable for the public, disadvantageous to the inventor, and wrong in principle. He believed that, in the present state of the world, such a stimulus to inven tion as that afforded by protection was not required. The mania now-a-days was for scheming and improve went. There were no patent laws needed for great dis coveries. Gunpowder, printing, painting in oil, were not produced by protection. And as regarded discoverers, he believed that in general they were quite willing to communicate their discoveries to the public irrespective of pecuniary advantage to themselves. Again, with re gard to inventions: if it was conceived that only 1 in 50 were useful, it followed that 49 persons in that 50 were employed iu a manner not advantageous to the public. He believed, also, that, generally speaking, the pecuniary gains of inventions were derived not by the inventors, but by the capitalists with whoa° assi!tance they worked, or alternately by the last improver of the invention. Considering, therefore, the large expenses incurred by patentees, not the fees bat the costs of patent and agents and litigation, he was of opinion it would be found that the great body of inventors lost more than they gained by the system of patent laws. As regarded the poor inventors he was afraid it was impossible to prevent workmen from giving the advan tage of their inventions to capitalists; but even in that respect ha (Earl Granville) considered protectiOn a dis advantage, by causing the inventor to shut himself up without communication with his fellow-workmen, in the hope of making a large fortune. According to Mr. Lloyd, a barrister engaged in patent practice, this prat tice had the effect of stereotyping a single idea iu the mind of the workman. The Noble Earl then entered on a statement of the evidence of Mr. Mercer before the Select Committee, which was to the effect that patents should be made both cheap and numerous. With regard to the public, he did not consider they derived any ad vantage from the patent laws; because the price of the commodity produced by the invention was enhanced through the monopoly conferred by their agency. He was aware he would be met by the suggestion of copy right on books; but although he believed even that principle was carried too far, he could not admit that there was any analogy in the two cases, based as they were upon two different conditions. With respect to the advantage of patents, the result of the experience of the Judges was to shake their opinion very much as to their value. As, however, the general opinion entertained on the subject was in favour of patents, the Government di I not think they would be acting iu accordance with their duty if they did not endeavour to introduce what were obvious amendments in the state of the law of patents so as to place it on a more satisfactory footing. Lord BROUGHAM said, that if their Lordships would peruse the whole of the evidence taken before the Committee, they would find that there was a great por tion of it in favour of a system of patent laws. Cer tainly his own opinion as to the necessity for and im portance of such laws had not been shaken. It was a great mistake to suppose that he had abandoned his Bill any more than the Noble Earl (Granville); the two Bills had been referred to a Select Committee, and the result of the inquiry had been the amalgamation of the two Bills into one, which was reported on by the Committee for the sanction of the House. It could not, therefore, be objected to either to him or to his Noble Friend that they nad abandoned their Bill. On the contrary, they had redeemed their pledge to amend the law by producing the measure now before their Lordships, and which he hoped their Lordships were prepared to pass into law. The Duke of ARGYLL had received petitions from sugar refiners of the United Kingdom, complaining of the colonial sugar refiners taking advantage of the pro cesses invented in this country, to their detriment, and therefore praying a remedy by the extension of the patent-laws to the colonies. The Earl of HARROWBY advocated the same views. Lord CAMPBELL entirely approved of the Bill. He wished, however, to point out a difficulty in the law with respect to the infringement of patents. When a patent was infringed, the first proceeding at law for redress was an application in a court of equity for an injunction; then the equity judge directed the plaintiff to bring an action in the courts of law to establish his previous right. The action led to great delay and expense, and when at length the plaintiff obtained his verdict he got no security thereby, for in every fresh instance of in fringement of his patent the same course must be taken by the plaintiff for his protection. Why should not, then, the same tribunal which first took cognisance of the infringement and granted the injunction, decide the matter altogether? Earl GREY was not prepared to deny but that the portion of the Bill which exempted the colonies from its operation was, to a certain extent, a hardship to the sugar refiners of this country; but the question was, whether, it that portion of the Bill were omitted, greater injustice would not be committed, and, also, whether the objection as to the non-extension of patents to the colo nies which the Noble Duke complained of did not go far ther, and support the views of his Noble Frieni (Earl Granville) as to the inexpedieney of any pateuc laws at all—views in which he (Earl Grey) concurred, but on which in the present state of opinion in this country on the subject he did not deem it expedient to act, but ra ther endeavour to improve the existing law as much as they could. But would it not be a great disadvantage to our colonial sugar manufacturers to be exposed to unfair competition with the sugar manufacturers of Brazil and Cuba, as they would be in case the law of patents was extended to the colonies? An instance in point occurred to him. A new inven tion was lately made of drying sugar by means of centrifugal force. There was a dispute among several parties as to the prior right of the patent of the invention, and they settled the matter by selling their interests in the matter to a company, which took out a patent for of Jamaicaort heir ma and Guianachine,andt haherd to payesultw oL foralsothes theugar machine which the grower of beet-root sugar in Bel , gium, and of cane sugar in Brazil and Cuba, obtained for 601. That showed the inherent difficulty of the subject; and considering those circumstances, whilst they retained the patent laws at home he did not consi der it expedient to extend them to the colonies. The House then went into Committee; and the se veral clauses having been agreed to, tho House resumed and immediately afterwards adjourned. evideuce adducel batore tl - e jury to duplicate uny per 5,n, or rcnUer hitu liable for the peualiy linpeied uuckr the Act. SPIRT MAL DE.;TITUTION. The Marquis "f BLANDFOR D moved that an humble Addresa b 3 pres .nted t.) her Mj-sty. pray ing that she will be grasiuudy pleased to take into her consAeraeon the sta'e of spiritual desoieition existing throughout Diela.ed and Wales; with a ' view, that her Majesty may be planned to direct the ; adoption of such measures as she may deem expedient, for affording more efficient relief to the spiritual wants of the people, and for an extension of the parochial sys tem corresponding to the growth of a rapidly in creasing population, by the help which may be drawn from the resources of the Established Church itself. The Noble Marquis, after expressing his sense of the importance of the question, and his own incapacity to treat it as it merited, observed, that much of the difficulty by which any proposition for extending the influence of the Church, arose from the jealousy with which some parties regarded the Church itself, and the party feeling which was excited by ecclesiastical questions. In the proposal he was about to make, it was not hie intention to submit to the House any great scheme of Church re form, or extension. All he asked was to do justice to, and make a wise use of, the powers of a Church estab lished by the blood of our ancestors, and endowed with their collective wisdom. What he aimed at was to rea lise the sentiments expressed by the late Sir H. Peel, when he brought in his measure of Church extension, in 1843. That eminent statesman then said, that if he wished to place the Church in its proper light before the people of this country, it must be done by extending its usefulness, by applying her present property to the strengthening 01 her position, and the increasing of influence, and especially by widening the basis on which she rests by an extension of our parochial constitution, which had been framed in ether times, and adapted to a different state of society.—(Hear, hear.) That was the position from which he (the Marquis ot Blandford) started, the object at which he aimed. The extension and reform of our parochial institutions was the great and pressing event of the age; and it could only be effected by two mea sures; one was the sub-division of parishes, and the other the equalization of episcopal revenues. Such were the opinions contained in an ttedreis to the Throne, which he hoped the House would support by an expression of its opinion. That address was signed by 107 persons. It would have been easy to have procured the signatures of thousands, but it was thought desira'sle to confine the signatures to those of Peers spiritual and temp ora l, an d to Members of Parliament. Among them were persons of all parties who felt that this was the great want of the age, and that the time had now arrived when they ought to carry their views to the foot of the Throne. In explaining his views he would as briefly as possible endeavour to show that an extension of our parochial institutions was a great and pressing want; secondly, that we had the means ot supplying that want; and, thirdly, that the people in general were willing to support any thing that might be done by the' Legislature for that ob ject.—(Hear.) Since 1843, when Sir H. Peel intro duced his measure of Church extension, he admitted much had been done.—(Hear.) The report of the Church Commission at that time stated that 600 new churches at least were required, and he believed they had since been built. Undoubtedly, much had been done, but that, so far from weakening, rather strengthened his case, as he was prepared to show that much more re mained to be done. Since that period, the Incorporated Society for Building and Itepairiug Churches and Chapels had expended 1,246,308/ By the Curates' Aid Society, it appeared that within the last decade they had ex pended 179,6521.; while another great society—the Church Pastoral Aid Society—had within the same period spent 2,235,2454; ants yet according to returns from the various parishes iu the metropolis, as well as Birmingham, Ma , .chester, Newcastle, Durham, and in deed all our large towns, there was still a large defi ciency of church accommodation. In the parish of St. Ann, Liwehouse, fur instance, the population was 25,000, the church accommodation only 1-12th. South wark had a population of 50,000, and church accommo dation for only 1-11th. In Durham there was only accommodation for 1-16th of the population. Taking as a basis the population returns of 1841, and allowing 450,000 in addition to the increase of the population since that time, there would be found an enormous defi ciency of church accommodation. Taking the number of churches, and allowing 3,000 persona as an aver age to each church, he found there was the enormous multitude of 1,893,852 for whom no provision whatever was made, and who had never the opportunity of entering the house of God, —(Hear.) When they tested the spirital destitution of the people by the number ot clergymen to the people the results were the same. In the twelve cr thirteen great parishes of London there were 762,358 inhabitants, and there were 171 clergymen to supply their spiritual wants; but if they took '2,000 as the average number for each clergyman, there would be a deficiency of 237 cler gymen, and 487,000 souls totally uncared for. Similar results were elicited by the same test applied to Man chester, where there was a deficiency of 52 clergymen, Liverpool 23, Leeds 29, Sheffield 21, Birmingham 22, and Newcastle 23, as compared with the population; in fact, taking the population of all our large towns, and comparing them with the number of clergymen, it would ' be found that in every one of them there was a lamenta- ble and decided deficiency. When they remembered all that had been done in this direction since the com mencement of the century, it would be seen that the wants of our increasing population had far outstripped all these exertions, anti that, us Sir Robert Peel had said, existing parochial instruction having been framed for other times, and a very different state of seeiety, must need attention at the present time. But with an addition to the number of parishes would come the ne cessity for an addition to the number of bishops, in con sequence of the greater number of clergymen they would have to oversee.—(Hear, hear.) He believed there was scarely any subject on which there was greater miscon ception than this. Ho would not enter upon a defence of episcopacy, but, if we were to have an epis copate at all, it was time that it should he adapted to the state of the country now. Since the time of the Reformation there had, he believed, been no addition to the number of bishops, except, one. Much difficulty arose from the unequal division of the dioceses. Perhaps 500 clergymen might be taken as the average number in each see, but in some there were 1,000. The bishop was bound to receive letters from all those cler gymen and answer them, besides which the secularities of his position were enough to obliterate from his mind the spiritual functions of his office.—(Hear, hear.) He was obliged to come to London to attend his Parlia mentary duties, surrounded by persons seeking for his patronage and support, and perpetually harassed by de mands on his time and attention which it was impossible that any one man could adequately meet. The report of the Church Commission in 1835 contained full parti culars of the state of tho existing dioceses, the relative amount of the population to the number of benefices, clergymen, and average in each, and the result clearly showed that additional episcopal superintendence was necessary, that diocesan as well as parochial subdivision was imperatively required. We had already examples to show that an increase of bishops was attended with an increase of efficacy ; the increase of episcopacy in our colonies had been followed by an increase of clergymen from 290 to 605. Since the separation of the diocese of Ripon from that of York the same result had taken place, as a return which he had received from the Bishop of Ripon fully demonstrated. The Noble Lord referred to these returns in detail, from which it appeared that since 1836, including 100,0001. spout in education, there had been not far from 600,0001. expended in the diocese of Ripon in church accommodation and extension. He believed that similar results would follow everywhere the subdivision of sees. But then it was said, the Church ought to be represented by the bishops. He believed it ought to be so, but not by all the bishops. On the contrary, he thought by constant residence in these sees the new bishops would much more effectually pro mote the great objects of the Church, and of their ec clesiastical and spiritual jurisdiction.—(Hear, bear.) He thought deans' incomes might be made available for such a purpose by making the deans bishops, and, in deed, looking at the extent and importance of West minster, he thought the appointment of a bishop de sirable. The Commissioners who inquired into this sub ject recommended that 600 now churches should be built, and the money for doing so to be procured in this way :—there were 770 livings in the gift of the Crown, 330 of which were under 2001. a year. Now, they recommended that these 300 should be sold, in order to purchase larger benefices, the other 447 would then be sufficient, when sold, to produce a million of money, which, with private subscription, would be sufficient to erect the 600 churches. He denied that taking away so large a patronage from the Crown would weaken its influence, or the connexion of the Church with the State. He believed that poor people were in a state of heathen ignorance, and that to allow it to go on was a scandal to them as a Christian nation. Then the proposition he made was not a new proposition. In 1843, when the late Sir Robert Peel borrowed 600,000/. from the bounty fund for this purpose, the Noble Lord now at the head of the Government did not object to it, but, on the contrary, suggested that some of these very livings should be sold, in order to provide funds for the erec tion of churches. The Incorporated Society for Pro moting the Building of Churches expended in seven years 1,647,000/., and of that no less than 985,0004 was contributed by private contributions. li e (the Marquis of Blandford) did not come to the house for grants of public money, bat was the Church of England to lan guish for want of funds, the more particularly when ' they considered the large amount of property left by their ancestors?—(Hear, hear.) The Church of England was especially a church for the poor, and he did not hesitate to affirm that they all felt interested in that subject, inasmuch as they were all anxious to pro mote public ord er . If the food of the people was to be cheapened, why. s hould not spiritual consolation be afforded to them in like manner? He was not anxious for any party policy, but one as broad as the land th e y lived in. T h e Nuble Lord concluded by moving the Address. Lord RO BERT GROSVENOR said that th e H ouse must have heard with great satisfaction the speech just math , by his Noble Friend, and in seconding his motion, it was unnecessary for him to make many ob servations. There was one feature in the character of his Noble Friend's proposition, and that was, that it proposed nothing new, and nothing that was not emi nently practicable. The evil existing was certainly very great; thousands and hundreds of thousands of the poor had no spiritual instruction whatever, as might be seen from the "London City Mission Magazine," and by the reports of the chaplains of their prisons. Ho be lieved that nothing was better calculated to remove the evil than what was termed the parochial system, as put into practice by some clergymen. He had received seve ral letters from various parts of the country, showing that where new churches were built, education increased in proportion, and the beat results followed. He was glad to state the Government had not been neglectful of this subject; at the same time he hoped they would for ward this me.esure. and aid in epplying the resource c f the Church to the beet advantage. He shetele cad att' ll f toteien to the eisdit huedred livings in the p itreesga c the Lord Chancellor, which he thought eugkt to he eel'' It was wed known the opinion of the law Sir kiabe r Peel aas in favour of the eale. The nomination to these limes by the Lord Chancellor otigieeted in times wheu the office was held by ecc'esiasties; but these times 1 35° passed cwsy, sad the Lord Chancellor had sufficient la/ patronage to satisfy any reasonable man. If that piaa . was adopted, they would have better security that thee' livings would be well filled. He would not accept the, voluntary system as a substitute for the parochial; so! though they entertained different opinions upon W° matters, much might be done to mitigate them. would do the most in his power to promote the p a rochia, system, as the best calculated to promote the spiritua l welfare of the people. Mr. HUME then rose to move, as an amendree°l upon, or as an addition to, the Marquis of Blandlord6 motion, after the word " That," " there be laid befell this House an account of all lands, houses, mines, tithelf and all property of every sort or kind whatsoever, be; longing to the Church of England, or to any bishopric o , t . any capitular or ecclesiastical body or corporation, so or aggregate, setting forth the nature and extent of th e ,. property, and where situated; in whose possession, or iv whom leased, and the date of such lease, and by wbo° l held; the period for which the lease was granted; the fide' if any, taken at the time of granting the lease; the newt / of the parties by whom that fine was received, and tLe j amount paid to each party; also, the rent reserved, at the annual value at which such property is now rated l° the relief of the poor; anal if tithes, the amount of th e same; or, if commuted, the annual rent charge ; the la' turn for each bishopric and ecclesiastical and eapitular body to be given separately." He proposed the amend; meat, not in opposition to the Noble Lord,for he egret' in a great deal that had fallen from that Noble Lord. The Noble Lord, however, made a n its' take in his estimate of the extent of the aft ritual destitution, because he had calculated e' if the whole population were members of tb e f Established Church, and made no account the church accommodation enjoyed by Dissenters. D e objected that the property of the Church had not beep well applied, and further, that bishops were of little utter and that the Church would be better without them' The ground he had taken in 1827 was that which the Noble Lord hal now proposed; but when he brotiab' forward a motion in 1836 to abolish pluralities, Gentle: men professing to be friends of the Church voted a gailte' his motion.

He had suggested that the Ecclesiastical COO mission should be placed under the direction of layoael instead of bishops, in consequence of the rejection ° which the Church had been robbed. I n 1824 h e pro , ' posed that all livings in Ireland, having over 50 inhabi'i tants, should have 3001. a year, and all livings in Englisil not less than 3001. a year. He hoped that both he O A the Noble Lord had the same object in view. H e truste", that the House would, in the first instance, agree to t ,l `, motion of the Noble Lord opposite, and that they wou l d adopt the amendment of which he had given notice, all which he concluded by submitting for the consideratie s of the [louse. Sir B. HALL was anxious to offer his thanks tole Noble Lord opposite for having brought forward tbli motion, as he thought it was the only practical waY, carrying out the objects which they had in view. 1 , had taken rather an active part in reference to ChUr t ° 6 affairs, for the purpose of making known many of t" . , , abuses that existed, in ihe hope of having them remove' He thought that this motion must have the effect, if PO; osrried out, of removing those abuses. He al ° , agreed in the addition proposed by the lion. Member PI Montrose. He was certain that the funds at the dispose of the Church for useful purposes, if properly managed' were almost incalculable. The Noble Lord referred t' a paper, No. 241, in respect to the subject of Church e l. tension, which had been laid before the House that 0,1 sion. There was an intimation from the archbishops slid bishops, and 98 laymen referred t o , th a t a m illi on w hee l , be granted for Church e x t e nsion. N ow h e (Si r B.

H e wad e " aware that the Lord Ch ance ll or ' s patronage visa bf, stowed in a worse way t h an t h at o f t h e arc hbi s her and bishops. There were about 700 livings in the W I of the Lord Chancellor. He held in his hand an accotte of the number held by four bishops. By this it I; peered that the _Archbishop of C an terb ur y held 1' living; the Bishop of Durham, 61; the Bishop of 1 ,6 ; don, 127; the Bishop of Winch e ster, 86. These Lour prelates bad, th en, 448 li v i ngs, not one of which ;it were desirous of di spos i ng of. T he livings in the $ of the Archbi s h o p o f Canterbury amounted to all°1) 80,0001. annually, th e sa l e o f w hi c h would ltelduc, nearly the millioc whi c h t h ey as k e d as a grunt for Chuteh extension. He (Sir B. Hell) saw no reason whatever O. attacking the ben e fi ces i n th e g if t or un d er : t h e pa tronag e of the Crown. The next proposition of these Coll naissioners was the a d o pti on o f a b et t er s y s tem ° management of Church property, by which tbe l i j calculated upon a sa v i ng o f no l es s W I 500,000/. per annum ; an d t h e a dd res s e ven; on to say, "It rests with the Government to o . °; 0 the scheme in motion—it will remain for the people ;‘; press it forward." Now he did not think that they welt, get the people to press it forward unless they put tP Establishment on a better and more s a tisf a ctory footiag' When he spoke of the Church he wished it to be tit derstood that he did not speak of the clergy. He kae, ‘ that when an attack was mad e upon th e emolumen n ' ts of the Church, many person s w e r e di s po se d t o sa y, "' a you are an enemy to the Church." He di s cl a imed belte d an enemy to the Church ; h e cou ld no t b e an elleL o l to the community to which he belonged. All he d e r 'iced was to make the clergy, who were the servants % the Church— the laity bein g the Church gee and efficient ministers for the performance c ' n , their sacerdotal duties. He had a document lyiee before him, the contents of which would a stonieb e them. He had endeavoured to obtain f r om tb a Ecclesiastical Commissioners that return which be I ' l ', asked for month after month, unt il b e was wear i e d bi the frequency of his applications long before Oil That return was ord ere d on t h e 2 d o f M ay i n t h e last year, buti it was not p resen t e d unt il th e 22d o f J u ne t/ the pis sent par. By this return it appetit e ° a that the Church property was of immees value, end yet th e f u ll va l ue o f it was no t g i ven . That abominable sy s tem of t a ki ng fines upon leases was stl.`„ esatinued. What was important in this return was 1 " regaid to the real value of the property. He hoped the House would bear with him while he stated what arch' bishops and bishops of the Established Church h a d re' ceived within the last seven years. He found that the gross income of the see of Canterbury for the last sell }ears amounted to 210,1541.; that of York, 100,4681.; 0 ' London, 125,9251.; of Durham, 207,5621.; of Winchertet' 101,1301., and so forth. The result of the whole wO 5 this. The gross income of the sees for the last see° years amounted to the enormous sum of 1,535,976/. Th e net income was 1,344,170 Z The average income of the seven years, giving a net income to these bishops, vve ° no less than 192,024/. Would it bo believed that the fines received for leases granted for lives and for term o of years amounted to 636,387 Z? Now, when theY took fines upon such leases they robbed Of Church to a certain extent. He would take oe' case as shown in this return. The Bishop of Wia' chester it appeared had received 20,000/. in fihe ., within the l as t yea r. This was tolerably good f°' , one bishop. The House would recollect that previousif to the lapse o f any see a septennial return should b e made, and the bishop should have an income ranging from 4,2001. up to 15,000/. a year; and if he receive d more from that see than the sum allotted to him he we., bound by law to pay the difference over to the Eccletn' astical Commissioners; and if a less sum, then he was t° receive the difference from the same Commissioners' Th e y had been led to believe that the income was to be confined as nearly as possible to the sum set down for the see. Many of the laity protested against even giving, any option to the bi s h ops; they said that they shou ld not be permitted to gamble in the property, but thet they should have a positive income, and that they should look to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for the par ment of their quarterly incomes. The episcopal bodft however, said that they would not give up the properti, —that if th ey could make more than the amount 01 their incomes, they would not pay to the Ecclesiastica l Commissioners one farthing more than they felt their' selves bound to pay. From this return the w hole would be made manifest as to the working of this scheme. He would show what occurred in six see.; The Bishop of Chichester was to have a fixed anneal income of 4,200/. But in the seven years ending in December last he received 30,625/, or about 1,225/. mor e than he was ent i t l e d to receive.. The Bishop of St' David's was to have a fixed annual income of 4,500 1 4 but he received 39,1234, making about 7,623/. mor e w th i a c n ifa was annual he entitledaansllixed i to receive. wasive. The Bishop of Not . 4,500/.; but he re; ceived 39,571/ ; being 7,071/. more than he was entitle°, to receive. Th e B is h ops of Oxford, Rochester, an d Salisbury were in similar proportions. The result WO , for seven years these bishops received 170,400/. in the whole, or 28 267/ more than were allotted to the sect; and the amount fixed as their annual incomes. Now, i f any other persons were to act in this way he should be disposed to call it a robbery of a fund. If a man assents to a certain fixed income being paid him for his services , and then he takes more than the sum assigned to him' he takes what h e k nows d oes not b e l ong to h i m, But let him see the other side of the case. There were bishop' who had to psy certain rums of money to the Ecclesias tical Fund. They bad speculated upon their sees and had not made u g o od bar ga i n o f i t. They have re f us ed to pay the amount they were ordered to discharge. These, were figures taken Lem the retu rns f or w hi c h h e hael moved, iu consequence of the i eport of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The Archbishop of Yolk owes to these Commissioners 2,3171; this Bishop of St. Asaph, 1,661/.1 notwithstanding certain deductions made in it; the Bishop of Bath and Wells, 3,945/. ; but this sum, he hit" just heard, had been lately paid; the Bishop of BAY' 9,242/.—all these making a total now due by three bishops alone of 14,2254 Lie declared that if any Per IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July I. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat OH th© Woolsack at Five o'Clock. SMITHFIELD MARKET REMOVAL BILL. Lord REDESDALE brought up the report of the Standing Orders Committee on the Smithfield Market Removal Bill, recommending that the Bill be not pro ceeded with, inasmuch as the standing orders relating to private Bills had not been complied with. Lord BEAUMONT considered that if they treated this Bill as a private Bill they would establish a most dangerous precedent. It was a public Bill, to remove a great public nuisance, and had been introduced into the House of Commons, and been there treated as a public Bill, having been introduced, not on petition but motion, and had been thoughont treated as a public Bill, save that the Standing Orders' Committee of that House having been consulted on the subject, had recommended that notices should be published in the Gazette. This was done, and the Bill was proceeded with as a public Bill, and as a public Bill it had been sent up to their Lordships. Their Lordships might, if they pleased, treat it as a private Bill, but the real ques tion was, did it concern great public interests or did it not. In the cases of the Metropolitan Cemeteries Bill and other Bills of a similar character their Lord ships had treated them as public Bills, and he thought that in such an important case as this the Bill should be considered as a public Bill. He would move as a reso lution that, inasmuch as the Smithfield Market Removal Bill partakes more of the nature of a public than of a private Bill, It is the opinion of that House that it should be proceeded with as a pub. lic Bill, and that the standing orders should not bo insisted on. The Corporation of London bad had ample equitable notice, and might if they chose be heard at the bar by counsel against it. The Marquis of SALISBURY thought that such a resolution should not be proposed without notice. Lord BEAUMONT would, if they thought it neces sary, postpone his motion, and give notice of it. Lord LYNDHURST thought the Bill was not a public Bill. _ _ _ Lord REDESDALE said the standing orders bad been passed for the protection of private property, and wherever private property was touched by any Bill, it was necesssary that those standing orders should be observed. He hoped their Lordships would insist upon the observance of the standing orders in this instance. Everybody knew that Smithfield-market was a nuisance, and that the Corporation of London actually knew all about the Bill, but still it would be most dangerous to allow the standing orders to be dispensed with. The notices might have been given in November, and then the standing orders would nave been complied with. If the Noble Lord thought the standing orders ought not to be insisted on he might make the motion, but it would be most objectionable to treat this measure as a public Bill. Lord BROUGHAM wished exceedingly that this Bill should pass into a Bill, and would recommend his Noble Friend (Lord Beaumont) to move the suspension of the standing orders instead of persevering in his motion. He had no fear of this House losing the respect of the com munity by acceding to this Bill. Earl GREY concurred in the recommendation of his Noble and Learned Friend opposite, but thought that as his Noble Friend (Lord Beaumont) had consented to postpone his motion to Thursday, it would be, better not to enter into the discussion until then. Lord BEAUMONT then gave notice that on Thurs day he should bring the question under the considera tion of the House. L ,rd REDESDALE said that the Noble Lord must give specific notice if he intended to move the sus pension of the standing orders. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that by giving such a notice, his Noble Friend would be admitting that it was a private Bill. The notice had better be gives generally. After a few words from Lord COLCHESTER, Lord BROUGHAM recommended his Noble Friend to confine himself to a general notice. Lord BEAUMONT gave notice that on Friday he would call the attention of their Lordships to the sub ject, and that on Thursday he would state to their Lordships the specific words of the motion he intended to submit to their PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Earl (IRAN VILLE. In moviug wet the floe.. resolve itself' into Committee on this Bill, thought it necessary, in consequence of the desire of the Noble and Learned Lord opposite, to make some statement with respect to it, because very great error' prevailed in the public mind with regard to it.—(Elear ) The Bill which he had now the honour of submitting to their Lordships was an amalgamation of the two Bills—the one introduced by the Noble and Learned Lord opposite, and the other by himself. It contained clauses to be found in one er other of those Bills, and there was very little new matter in it, and that was chiefly of a technical nature.—(Hear.) The principal objections that were raised with respect to patents were the delay and expense in procuring them; the want of security to the true inventors; the existence of numerous patents on the same subject; the impossibility of knowing what had been previously done with respect to patents; the objection to the taking out three separate patents for the United Kingdom; and to these were to be added serious complaints from the colo nies as to the existing law, and the injustice to them of there being any patent restrictions whatever. There was also another grievance which would be got rid of by the Bill. At present it was nearly impossible for manufacturers in other countries to obtain protection in this country. This the Bill would afford. The second and third clauses constituted certain high functionaries as Commissioners, including the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and the law officers of the Crown, who would be authorised to act under it in appointing officers and framing rules. By this means, instead of eight offices connected with patents which existed in London at the present moment, there would be in fact only two—via, one public, that of the Great Seal; and one private, that appointed by the Commission. Any objection that might exist to the combination of these high functionaries, on the ground of the impossibility of their action, would be obviated by the circumstance that their office would not be Ministerial, but simply con nected with the appointment of officers—examiners and rcientific persons. The next four clauses regulated the mode of application for patents. The present mode was a petition, with a general specification of the scheme proposed to be patented. The arrangement in these claus6s would obviate the evil that existed of people putting in a vague and general idea, and then spending the subsequent six months in running about seeking to obtain a hint from one invention or another, so that the invention patented at the end of that period was often as different as could be fancied from the general idea proposed in the first instance. These clauses would also give greater advan tages to the poor mechanic than he at present possessed, because by depositing in the first instance 51.—e com paratively small sum—he could work or exhibit his in vention for the six succeeding months, and by that means arrive at something like a just knowledge of its utility, so as to be in abetter position to go to the further expense of perfecting his patent or relinquishing it altogether. The Bth clause abolished the present caveat system, which, according to the evidence taken before the Select Committee, was the source of great frauds. It was pro vided by the clause, that instead of a caveat, after an application was made for a patent, the application should be reported on the title of the patent by the examiners, and publicly advertised for objections to it—to be made in writing. The 9th clause gave a general right and power of appeal to the law officers of the Crown, who had large powers conceded to them for the revision of the decisions arrived at by the examiners. The objection to the interposition of the law officers of the Crown was in his (Earl Granville's) opinion sufficiently met by the evi dence taken beiore the Select Committee, in which it was proved that questions of law were so intimately mixed up with questions of patents, that no scientific man, unaided by a lawyer, could possibly decide them. In referring to this point the Noble Earl bore the fullest testimony to the perfect indifference of the pre sent law officers of the Crown to their own pecuniary interests in presence of the public good. The next clause constituted the law officers competent authorities in the matter of sealing patents; and by so doing swept away the several tedious and expensive stages of suing out a patent—such as the sign manual, the proceeding by bill, and the signature of the Privy Seal. The 11th clause introduced into this country a system adopted in foreign countries with great success—namely, the ex tension of the costs over a period of three years, in three several payments—the first being the small sum of 251. on a patent in the three kingdoms. The 12th clause provided that the form of the patent should be copied —not at the expense of the inventor—for enrolment iu Dublin and Edinburgh. The 13th gave the power of extending the patent on payment of certain fees. The 14th prevented the claim for a patent on an invention in use in foreign countries. In these days of travel, when a few hours took a man to France and Germany, and a few days to the United States—the countries where in vention was most active—it would be a monstrous case if a person could go over to those countries, and if he found a particular invention likely to be useful in this country, to have the power of taking out a patent for it, and establishing a monopoly. The next nine clauses related to specifications generally, and were intended to give them publicity, which they did not possess at present. The tour following clauses contained the pro visions of what was commonly called Lord Brougham's Bill, and the remainder might be struck out, as they had not power to go to the House of Commons. The Noble Earl again recapitulated the remedies which it was proposed to effect by this Bill—namely, the aboli tion of usiess offices, the obtainment of scientific assis tance in the granting of patents, protection to inventors from the date of their application, the abolition of the system of caveats, provision for carrying patents further, extension of patent rights, and cheapness of process. Ho proposed to omit th e 09.10...ni0p from PiQ GUI of ell HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 1. COUNTY COURTS FURTHER EXTENSION BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The ATTORNEY. G ENERAL moved the following clause:—And whereas by an Act passed in the tenth year of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled, it was enacted that no person should be entitled to ap pear for any other party to any proceeding in any of the said courts, " unless he be an attorney of one of her Majesty's superior courts of record, or a barrister at-law instructed by such attorney on behalf of the party, or by leave of the judge, any other person allowed by the judge to appear instead of such party, but that no barrister, attorney, or other person, except by leave of the judge, should be entitled to be heard to argue any question as counsel for any other person in any proceeding in any court holden under that Act," be it enacted, that the said provision shall not bo deemed or construed to apply to any case within the jurisdiction given to the said courts by this present Act, or by any other Act, other than the above partly recited Act, and that in all cases in which jurisdiction is given to the said courts by the present Act, or by any other Act other than the above partly recited Act, barristers-at-law and attorneys shall have and enjoy such rights and privileges as have been hitherto used and exercised by them respectively in the superior courts of common law at Westminster. Mr. FITZROY said, that in its present state, he should feel bound to oppose the clause. After some discussion, in which Mr. P. Howard, Mr. Mullings, and Mr. J. Evans took part, Mr. WAKLEY moved that the debate on the amend ment be postponed, to give time for its further conside ration, since if adopted it would introduce an entirely new feature in the practice of the county courts. Sir G. PECHELL also recommended the postpone ment of the clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL professed his readi ness to modify the clause to meet the objection which had been raised against it. The clause was then agreed to, on the understanding that it was to be modified. The 13111 was then ordered to be printed, and recom mitted on Tuesday next at 12 o'clock. The House then resumed. ECCLESIASTICAL PROPERTY VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill passed through Committee; and the House adjourned until Five o'clock. The House resumed at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Pharmaceutical Bill. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the metropolis, praying for the abolition of the paper and newspaper duty. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from a place in Staffordshire against the truck system. Mr. HERRIES presented a petition from Sunderland. complaining of the repeal of the navigation-laws. Lord NAAS presented a petition from Mr. Archer, the patentee of a machine for making perforated postage stamps, complai , ing that the Government had only offered him 2001. for his invention, and 3001. for the machine, the machine itself having cost him altogether 9001., and praying for en inquiry into the circumstances connected with his Colonel FREESIUN presented a petition from the physicians, surgeons, and medical practitioners of Wey mouth and Melcombe Regis, praying the Howe to pass a Bill for regulating the qualifications of pharmaceutical chemists in Great Britain; also petitions from the che mists of inhabitants of the same place of similar import. ADULTERATION OF COFFEE. Mr. G.
