On Thursday last Mr. William Powell, a respectable innkeeper, also farming his own land at Tavarney garreg, in Ystradgyulais, was brought up in custody at . the Petty Sessions Court, Brecon, charged with burgle riously breaking into the house of David Williams, at Trecastle, in the county of Brecon. The peculiar and mysterious circumstances of the case excited great inte rest, especially as one T. Williams, a. blacksmith, had been tried and convicted at the last assizes as the perpetrator of the.burglary, and had been removed to Woolwich, under sentence of transportation for seven years. The principal witness was a tinker named William Morris, who stated that the prisoner, on the night of the burglary, brought him to the premises of David Williams, on the pretence -of getting him to drive some pigs to market. Prisoner broke into the houie, and witness at once rau away. Subsequently Williams, the blacksmith, was charged with the burglary, and witness received from the prisoner W. in money and a note for 10/. as bush money, the pri soner undertaking, by influeccing some of the jury, to procure the acquittal of - Williams, who, however, was convicted of the offence. Witness then communicated with the police; as he was anxious to procure the libera tion of Williams whom he knew to be innocent. Several witnesses deposed to having seen the prisoner and Morris together on the night of the burglary, and on several oc casions previously and subsequently to"it. It was also shown that Morris had received the note for 10/., and other sums of money from th© prisoner. David Wil liams, of Trecastle, repeated the evidence he had given at the last assize relating to his house being broken open, his being awoke from sleep, and seeing a man having -a light coming upstairs. He swore positively now, as "he did then that the man was Tom the smith, and that he knew him well. On cross-examination he said he held a mortgage on the prisoner's land for 8004,, and than the deeds were with Mr. Morgan, soli c it or ,' of Liandovery. The mortgage had been originally for 6001., but he bad advanced 2001. more than twelve months since, and on that occasion the prisoner was present when the deeds were deposited with Mr. Morgan, and it was then understood that he was to keep them until the prisoner should make ar rangement as to adjudgment. At the time of the bur glary he had an action of ejectment pending, which the prisoner settled by giving a judgment two or three days before the Brecon assizes. On re-examination witness said that prisoner had been several times in his house oe business, but he.never let him or any one see where he kept his papers; some papers had been taken out of a drawer on the night of the burglary, and were found in a sieve in the back kitchen. Tne prisoner, who stated that he would reserve his defence, was committed for WRIT FOR THE EXECUTION OF EARL FERRERS FUR MURDER. A correspondent has forwarded to us a copy of the writ commanding the execution of this noble criminal:— "George the Second, by the grace of God of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, and so forth, to the Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Mid dlesex; greeting.

The inhabitants of the ,ancient, burgh of Tain were gratified and surprised a few days since with the reported diseovery of a mureral spring, in a corner of the .highly cultivated farm ot Morangie,- within half a mile of the town. The, spot is -close to the seashore, and almost at the foot of it . tremendous boulder, which many of our abiseut countrymen will remember as. a conspicuous land mark. Old and young, high and low, were ,instantly seen - repairing to the spot, with drinking vessels of all sizes and. shapes, and utensils for carrying the water to . a ;distance. . .. Even the medical and chemical burghers yielded . to the. report, and satisfied them lielves that there was in this case truth in the rumour. There wants a tr.aot, of dry weather to have the Spa properly analysed, but., it is evidently . a strong salphereous and chaly.beate spring, equal to the far-famed Strathpeffer. The first thing to be done was to get a road formed along the shore to render the spring easily accessible, and instantly some of the young men ot the town, by tuck of drum, assembled to wield the-mattock and spade. They elected a director of the works, and pro ceedcd under his orders. to commence road-making at five o'clock in the morning. This voluntary labour was con firmed for several mornings from daybreak until the time for opening places of business, and-already- a considerable extent of road has been blocked out and reclaimed, by great exertion?, from a hog on the south and from the sea on the north. . Some Salta! briegee or conduits have been constructed, and named after the persons whose labours entitled thew to teat distinction ; so that we bear of the Ut qu' , art, the Sutherland, and the Ross bridges, and long tee structures hand down the names ot the worthy fellowl who erected them. In a short. time and at no ex pense—such is the enthusiasm of the 4°mm:rep—there will be..a fine promenade to the spring. At present the vvell, properly cleaned out and made into a basin with stones, is4inonged with visitors at. all hours, and sundry invalids with improved look s an d h ea l t hi er complexions point with gratitude to the spring. Some of the citizens are planning out achemts for felling and building in con nexion with battling machines; and in these days of cold water cures, Taiu, with its local facilities, may boast of a hydropattlic establishment. The healthy situation of the town, its advantages for bathing, its cheap living and lodgings, auti_cxcellent Academy, render it a very ,de sirable place of residence , ind e p en d ent l y of the new and Valuable attraction of the mineral water. We hope soon to be able to give a correct analysis of the spa, and con gratulate our Tain friends on their good fortune in having made the discovery.—lnverness Courier.

ATTEMPTED SALE OF A WIFE. About ten o'clock On Friday morning a large concourse of people assemblcd‘opposite the Angel Inn. Stockport, composed principally of parties from Droylesden, to witness the disgraceful exhibition of a man selling his •%ife by public auction to the, highest bidder. The in dividuals immediately concerned were Joseph Orme end his wile, Rachel, both factory operative,e They had been married about three years; bur, in con sequence of his intemperate habits and violent con duct, they agreed to separate, he retiring to Stock port, and she continuing to work at a mill at Droyles den. Since then the man had contracted an illicit acquaintance with a woman, who was then living with him as his wife. This increased the dislike of the wife, and she meditated how she could most effectually relieve herself of a faithless, worthle s s husband. It appears that her brother resided in Stockport, and as the mill et Droylesden has ceased work, she accepted an invitation to spend the fair at his house. It was here that her husband propcsed to neutralise the marriage con- tract by offering his wife for public sale in the market, a process "chicle it is vulgarly believed, has all the legal efficacy, without the cost, of a divorce The wife at once cceisented ; and the brother •as readily acquiesced. ,"Accordingly the disguetiig xhibition took place in the pretence of an immense crowd. She was neatly attired, and was a mode rately good-looking - young woman. The husband, on the conirary, had ail the appearance of being a dis ,ipated fellow; and was not a favourite with those feinales who ventured to express an opinion on the subject. The first bidder was a man named Hill, who was employed at the same mill at Droylesden. He commenced with 7d. ; and the bidding.; went quietly up to 109. At this moment Mr. Superintendent Sadler and Mr. laspector Walker, of the borough police, were seen making their „ a y through the throng, and the sale was fortunately suppressed. A regu lar rush succeeded, alaitist which the husband, wife, and h er friend s , retreated into the public house; whence they 'were .distodged by the authorities. The husband suddenly disappeared in the me/ie, whilst the wife, accompanied b y her brother, after a hot pursuit by the curious 'broil - VI the streets, took refuge in the Warren Bulkely Arms. 144, y of t h' c , wo men, who really believed that the sale of a Wile was strictly legal, com plained of the interfereeenef the police, and the hardship of a wife being prereutld relieving herself from a worthless husband. Some time elapsed before the wife durst emerge from the ins, the crowd being increased outside. At length, having luckily provided herself with a change of dress, ebe_. contrived to escape by the back door, and reaching the railtay station, succeeded with out molestation in r eachi ngbroylesden. Orme, the de praved husband, has 1 403 since been seeu in public.— Manchester Courier. THE DUKE OYRUTLAND AND HIS TE.if ANTS. (From thee...Slurs/ord Mercury.) WALTIIA3I.—The sensattsu caused ia mill place and the district around by a general enhancement of the rents on all the Duke of Rutlauti's farms in the lordship, is such as has nut been fek fur some years; and, coming upon the unhappy tenants at a tim e when it is impossible to make both ends nicer;"„ sou - when the members of his Grace'. family are freqiieetlk declaring in Parliament arid elsewhere that the tamers cannot live even if they had no rent tit all to pay 4 tht proposed t xactiuli is con sidered yet more extraerdioiry • How the assertions of the Marquis of GrautTlaud Lurd John Manner: eau be recoeteled with the Circular from the Duke's steward announcing - tll6 ie a puzz'e which the sufferErs bireeHin vain attempted to solve. What would be theleffect of another agricultural meeting at Waltham just tine, is of course matter of un certainty; but the irate abciprivate Louses have for the last week or two rung with gru4 l4 fings both audible and deep, and even the Conservative preite of the a dj o h i i„ geou , Ey has been induced to aid in the oht*y. The affair is the wore remarkable, inasmuch as in 1 41, when the price of wheat was 635. a quarter, the Dukelot Rutland (who has ever been ueservedly beloved throughout the locality) re cluved the rentals in MOO* lordship to the extent of 1,000/., whereas now thet Abe price of wheat grown in the district averages , Oly 365., and met,y of the farmers had last yearfipisrfully blighted crops, the rents have been real se4 as much as 1,20 u/., or just 33 per cent. in Walther° lordship alone. Aria the worst of the affair is, sa)' :die occupiers, that though a return will be made wheii,Cora is below. a certain price, the rent is to be propOitionately increased when wheat rises beyond 545. per quOjter. The following is a copy of. tbe eta:wanes circular:, "Steward's Office, Beivdir Castle, April, 1851.

ROYAL MENDICII'r:SOCIETY. The anniversary meeting of the it.i4orters ut this so ciety was held Lai Saturday afternoon at the premises in Red Lion-square, the Marquis of Westminster presid ing. The eclair man, in his obaervations to the metA ing, drew attention to s pinion of the report which was about to be laid before them, and observed that there could be nu donut - that the inciisetiniinate relief given by soup kitchens in the metropolis evil the consequeace. of which would 'setae time or other be se verely felt by the public.- Tbe report stateceshat during the year there had been, as the cornmitte anticipated, a fulling off in the receipts from aubecriptiOns and do nations in consequence ot the altered policy .. of the so ciety. The society, however, wished to guard them selves against opening their doors to thr; IPsh destitute who arriv e d in thi s coun t r y, a s Such a system would obviously induce the parish authbraties in that country to send over as many as they ono' id. It had been stated in the daily papers that 10,000.4estitute poor had been sent over from lurk and the vicinity within a fortnight, each one reeeiving ball-a-crown on leaving and paying Is. for the passage. 4 4 eh • system as this, it encouraged by charitable socittaeS. in England, would soon overwhelm them with nearly the whole •of the destitute population of Retried. The increase of vagrancy was evident from the returns of the society's officers. In Deuember, 1849. the nuts- ber of applicants was 664, or 20 per diem. IA January - , 1850, it w:8 1,667, or 54 daily, and the propertione of English and Irish were nearly eq'iel. In January of the present year the number of applicants .was 1,484, or 49 daily ; in February it „ was 1,908, or 68 daily; and in March 1,643, or 53 daily, and the propor tion of Irish to English was about •two to one:. During the 'year 147 office cases had been investigated, and several destitute girls bud been saved from ruin and were now in comfortable situations. The number of begging liters referred to the office during the year w as 4,017, being a decrease of more than 500 on •the pre ceding year's - return, and this the society attributed to the activity of their officers in detecting begging letter impostors, 37 of whom were convicted during . the Sear on their evidence. N o le ss th a n 865.vagrants..had been apprehended by the society's constables, and .570 were convicted. The receipts tor the year amounted to 6,0471. 6a. 5d., and there was upwards of 6,000/, in the runds, besides 1,5001 in Exchequer-bills. The expeudi lure bad fallen short of the receipts • by 621/ 11s. bd., which sum remained as a balance. The report wa s agreed to on the motion of Lord liadstock, and the, meet ing separated after thanking the chairman. BRISTOL, MAY 12.—Wind N.E.—Arrd. Adolphus, Yates, Pernambuco; Dagger, Jamaica.

Eviannoy - An tip& • •• We have been requested to give insertion to the fol lowing:—The committee appointed by the inhabitants of Kensington, Paddington, Notting-hill, and Bays water, to obtain petitions and memorials against the , formation of the proposed ride in Kensing ton Gardens, request the attention of the pub lic to the follow' brief statement:—Kensington Gardens include an of above 350 acres, and have long been open to th Will° by, the gracious permis sion of her Majesty and her Royal predecessors. The ,gardens form the , most extensive And delightful pleasure grounds of the same rural description at !itched to any city in Europe. Under the -present regulations they are reaorted to with a de gree of security from' molestation which ladies and children can nowhere else enjoy, not even in the neigh bouring parks. The gardens are not only a source of health and gratification to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, but to visitors, especially to invalids from all parts of the metropolis. The proposed ride commencing at Kensington barracks. near the south west corner of the gardens, and proceeding first - in an easterly, and then in a northerly direction, as far as Bayswater, will throw nearly the whole area ripen to equestrians, will supersede all the judicious regulations under which admission is now greeted, and will destroy in a great measure, the secluded rural aspect which dow constitutes the most attractive characteristic of. these delightful grounds. The reason assigned • ' for "thus defacing one of the most - admired features of the chief city' in this great empire, is, that equestrians not enjoying, this year, the gull advantage of their usual ride in Rotten-row, are entitled to compensation ; and that the must con venient compensation is at the expense of the pedes trians in this royal domain. In answer to this plea, it may be fairly.'urged that the ride in Rotten row is now frequented by equestrians as in former seasons; and that the necessity of a new ride for their accommodation not yet apparent. That the pe destrians in the gardens are as ,much entitled to consi deration as the equestrians in Hyde-park. That „y e n a partial and temporary interference with the ride in Rotten-row is no adequate reaaou fur the de- Jecration of Kensington -gardens. That the equestrians once admitted ieto the gardens, will be sure to maintain their advantage, and procure a permanent, in stead of a temporary order for that purpose. That, in proportion as buildingS are created on all sides in the suburban parishes, this beautiful rug in urbe must be come more precious to .the inhabitants of the metopolia, and ought to be more resolutely protected and handed down unimpaired to future generations.

This was immediately done; and after having taken it, and paid the waiter, she was hurrying away, saying that she should certainly be late, when she perceived her passage barred by a large dog which refused to let her pass. She attempted by caresses to put it aside, but the animal held fi rm , an d opposed her way. " I shall certainly be late !" cried she. "Do take away that horrible dog!" The waiter and the master cried out, " Vidocq, Vidocq ! give way sir," but the dog never stirred. One of the waiters here whispered something to the master, who, coming up to the young woman, said, " If my dog prevents you leaving the premises, the reason must be that you have some of the property belonging to the house about you. You had better give it up at once, and go your way." The person thus addressed at first affected great indignation at being so addressed, but at last drew out a silver spoon, which she banded to the o v n er o f th e resta urant. The dog then allowed her to pass, and she was hurrying off when she was seized by her mantelet, and forced to stop. This time it was a police agent, who had been on the look-out for se -- eral persons su pected of being concerned in a robbery, and who, it was thought, might attempt to get off by the railway. She was arrested, and on examination her mantelet was foundito be furnished with immense pockets' for receiving pil fered goods. It is said that this is not the first time that the dog. belonging to the restaurateur, has shown himself a faith ful guardian of his master's property.-- Galignani's Messenger. THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH.—The Rev. Mr. Longtnuir made a partially successful attempt in his own church on Tuesday, but at a public experiment on Wednes day, to the confusion of the assembled savans, his machine indicated that the earth was terming the wrong way. The fault, of course, lay with the construction of his apparatus, or the currents of air in the room. Further attempts were more satisfactory. An experiment at Spring-garden has been conducted with great care. A si'lb. ball has been sus pended by a fine brass wire 28 feet long, and the joint or pivot at the top is an accurately prepared ball and socket one, which of course moves with equal facility in all direc tions. The ball, which has a draw point projecting from it below, was made to traverse a drcular table of six feet dia meter, and it invariable tended in the proper direction. Much dificulty was experienced in getting the ball to swing in a :mathematically accurate plane, but this obstacle having been overcome, the revolution of the table, and of course of the world, under the pendulum, became quite apparent. Further experiments are to be made.— Aberdeen Herald. The Clothworkers' Company, of which the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor is a member, and his Lordship was master when the grand entertainment was given to the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart., at Clothworkers' Hall, are about to invite a number of the most distinguished foreigners who are now in this country to a banquet at their hospitable board on an early day. It is said that the other companies are pre paring to show the spirit with which they can sustain the character of the citizens of London for hospitality. There will be, it is supposed, a most strenuous rivalry. - • FOREIGN NUTS.—The American ship Ocean Queen, from New York, has brought 100 packages of chesnuts as a portion of her cargo, consigned to order.

The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition of which he lied given notice from the grand jury of Tip perary in favour of „ protection to ho me - ma d e fl our. The Noble Earl ssia this was a most serious question. There was as large an amount of capital invested in flour-mills as there was in cotton-mills, and in Ireland, the flour establishments were as large as the cotton es tablishments in England, and now the French had erected mills and undersold them in the market in the finer specimens of flour. Tee Irish mill-owners had pur chased up all the corn in Ireland, and had driven a most profitable trade in it, and now their profits would be sensibly diminished by the importation of French flour, and the carriage of corn and flour would be oi mudshed. He had frequently seen in the town with which he was connected 500 or 600 carts employed in carrying corn to these mills, and bringing the flour away. The consequence of free trade had been that these mills had been ruined, and that the people had been compelled to livo upon that nasty filth called Indian meal, which was positively peisonous. The people could not work upon it. In all the milling districts the workhouses were crowded, and they had been compelled to take auxiliary workhouses, and those auxiliary workhouses had formerly been stores for the millers for Irish corn. This was a positive feet. It reacted on this country, producing a deluge of Irish paupers, who were sent over by the Irish unions at half a-crown a head; and if they continued the free-trade system they would have all the Irish paupers sent over to England. Now for the fact. , . In 1849 there had been imported into England of foreign flour 3,349 899 cwt.; in 1850, 3,890.440 cwt.; whereas in 1847 there had been imported only 1,339,000 cwt. of flour. He then proceeded to show that a large bonus was realized by importing foreign grain in the shape of flour, instead of in its raw material, owing to its being rendered capable of stowage in a smaller compass by that process. He con tended that there was as large an amount of capital invested in flour mills as there was in cotton mills; that in Ireland the flour mills were as costly as the cotton mills of England ; and that it was a lamentable circumstance that the French millers, who lived at no cost on board of the vessels with which they imported the finest flour into Ireland, should undersell the Irish and the British miller in their own mar kets. He concluded by expressing his conviction that free trade would be destructive of all the beat interests of the country, and that under its fatal dominion industry would never reap the advantages which were its due, and skill and energy would be of no use. Earl GRANVILLE observed that it was always a dis agreeable task to make a reply to a statement of distress, when, in admitting the existence of that distress to a certain extent, you had to deprecate the remedy which was proposed for its relief. He did not feel himself bound on the present occasion either to reply to the objections which the Noble Earl had urged against the system of free trade generally, or to enter into a discussion on the state of Ireland, into which the Noble Earl had entered so largely, especcially when the accounts which he had received from various quarters dis proved, rather than proved, the accuracy of the Noble Earl's intbrmatiou. He believed that the distress suffered by the millowners of Ireland, and so elaborately detailed by the Noble Earl, existed to a considerable extent; but he could not agree with the Nolsle Earl thst it arose from increased competition with the French millowners, or with his sug gestion that protection to home-made flour would be the best remedy for it. He also believed that distress was sustained by the millowners of England. They were undergoing at this moment the same fate which . oftee befell the manufac turers of the country. Amid the improvements which had recently been made in the construction of mills and machi nery, it was found that those millowners who had a limited capital, and resided at a distance from the best markets, were gradually displaced by those who had a larger amount of capital, and who had the benefit of the best markets. It could not be disadvantageous to the millowners to have the raw material of their trade cheap; for its cheapness led to greater consumption on the part of the people; and, there fore, they must derive advantage, as well as the bulk of the community, from having a larger introduction of grain than formerly into the markets of this country. With regard to the competition of the French millowners, he bad recently seen a French gentleman, well known to many of their Lord ships, who had recently , held high office in France, M. De leseert (we think his Lordship said), and that gentleman bad informed him that there was no branch of industry in France in which so much progress had been made in the laet 20 years as that with which the millowncrs were connected, and that, nevertheless, the millowners were at that moment complaining loudly of the insufficient remuneration which they received in return for their labour and their capital. It was clear, from the statement made to him by M. Delessert, that some of the minor millowners of France must have given way in the competition which they bad recently under gone with the larger capitalists, and vet he did not expect that any of their Lordships would be prepared to say that it would have been a wise measure on the part of the French Government to have bolstered up the weaker portion of this trade by aid furnished from the resources of the etate. An other observation which had fallen from the Noble Earl was That the French farmer was deriving great profit from im porting corn to England. Now he (Earl Granville) bad tiiivry reason to believe that the contrary was the fact. The same complaints which were made in England of the dis tressed condition of the English farmer were made in France Hepectins; the distressed condition of the French farmer. He likeable believed that the great distress alleged to be suf fered-by the British millowners was disproved by the success of the -mill recently erected at Battersea, and by the nume rous new mills now in course of construction in different parts of the coun t ry . Th e N o bl e E ar l h a d su ggested that c _ flour should be i mme di ate l y p ro t ec t e d by a duty, which would enable the miller to continue his operations. the He (Lot d G ranv ill e ) was not di s p ose d to underratevery ire commercial, woaldrea af e d g s i solcaltu social consequences which edeterminedto Vert to-thesistemofprotectiVe imp — ort duties upon grain ; but he must say he thought such a niessure would be infinitely more defensible than to afford protection to the millers be cause a portion of that body were involved in some distress in consequence of the altered circum►tances of their re spective localities. The Noble Earl had slid that this ques tion would be brought forward again ; and he could only say that, if a definite proposition were submitted to the House his Noble Friends behind him would be quite ready to die: cuss it. 1. The earl of DIALMESBURY saki he had taken 40 : me pitiu4 about a fortnight ago to ascertain the real state of the agri cultural body in France, and he had been informed that during the year 1850 the amount of agricultural produce— wheat, wheaten dour, and barley —exported from France to this country was equal In value (as we understood) to some 2,000,000/. beyond the ordinary exports. It was clear, then, that France could not only feed her own people, but had a surplus of food to spare; and it could not, therefore, be maintained that the agricultural body in France were in a similar condition to the agriculturists of this country. If the French exported at a loss, was it conceivable that their ex ports would have increased in three years from 216,000 quarters to 595,000' quarters? Noble Lords opposite had publicly lamented the di - Stress of the . agricaltnial _interest; the. Noble Earl' (Granville) had acknowledged that distresa existed among the millers ; but yet these Noble Lords had not made the slightest attempt to relieve that distress. The Earl of HARDWICKE - considered it a striking fact that there was not one interest which came before either House of Parliament that was not in a depressed condition. The distress of the agricultural interest had been acknow ledged in the Speech from the Throne; and now the millers, freetraders themselves, had turned round and were calling upon Parliament for protection. ' It was said that these petitioners were millers who were in a small way of business, but very recently a miller of Wakefield, who fed 200,000 people from his mill, had written to Mr. Cobden, as his re presentative, begging him to change his views on the sub ject of free trade. What, too, was the condition of the ship. ping interest, and what was the character of the daily and weekly reports of trade from Manchester ? He might remind their Lordships that Ireland was no longer a flourishing ex. porting country, as it was previously to 1845, but that it was now a large importing country. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE' observed, that if Noble Lords opposite thought - proper to bring the state of Ireland under discussion, he thought his Noble Friends would be able to show that the various interests of that country were not in the distressed condition that had been represented. The whole question of protection and free trade was raised by the suggestion of the Noble Earl, that an import dirty should be imposed upon flour, and into that subject he would not enter. He might say, however, as the Noble Earl had referred to the number of paupers in Ireland, that although it was un - fortunately too true that the workhouses in the west of Irehnd were extremely full, he would ask the Noble Earl what would be the condition of the ratepayers, as well as of the paupers in those unions, if, instead of having food at the reasonable price at which it was now obtained, protec tive duties were imposed which rendered the price of food high, ?—(Hear, bear.) He could speak confidently as to the opinion or the Poor-law guardians, and he had not met with a single guardian in Ireland who was not so far an ad vocate of free trade as to say, " If we had not at this tin.e cheap food, it would be utterly impossible for us to support our paupers." He believed that no , persons had suffered so much from the removal.of protective duties as the millers in the south and west of Ireland, but the question raised by the Noble Earl (Glengall) was one of great importance; and unfortunately the case of the Irish millers could not be con sidered in an isolated point of view, and without reference to other interests of the country. After a few words in reply from the Earl of GLENGALL, The Duke of ARGYLL observed, that there was an lin manse pressure upon Glasgow, and other large towns in Scotland, in consequence of the influx of Irish paupers. The parochial officers were frequently obliged to give them half-a-crown a-piece to seni them hack to Ireland —(A laugh) —and he hoped that no more half-crown paupers would be sent over from Ireland. The Earl of LUCAN was sure his Noble Friend (the Earl ' of Glengall) had never intended to say that it was the prac tice to send over paupers from Ireland. —(Laughter.) He had, during the last ten years, resided in that country for a eonsiderable part of every, year, and at no former period was there anything at all equal to the amount of distress at pre sent existing there. At no period was the cultivation of land in Ireland so totally neglected as at this moment es pecially in Mayo and Galway, and h e th ere f ore thought it was, if he might use the expression without offence, tolerably audacious on the part of any Noble Lord on the Ministerial bench to seek a sort of triumph in the present state of Ire land. The Noble Marquis (Clanricarde) had said he never heard any guardians in that country speak in favour of pro tection. He (the Earl of Lucan) was a member of four boards of guardians in Ireland, and three-fourths of the guardians, if not the whole of them, were Protectionists. He never heard the guardians congratulate themselves upon cheap food, but he had often heard them lament that wretched paupers were driven to the workhouse in conse quence of agricultural labourers deserting their wives and children. After a few words in explanation from the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, the subject dropped. CHURCH BUILDINGS ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the order of the day being read for going into Com mittee on this Bill, Lord PORTMAN said he considered some of the provisions of the measure very objectionable. It would affect the rights of some 300,000 persons who now bad free seats in churches, which bad been erected by private subscriptions or by Church Building Societies, by giving power to the Ecclesiastical ; Commissioners to let one- half of those sittings, in order to es tablish a fund for the payment of the ministers. He believed that some of the clauses would contravene the statutes of mortmain. The Bill provided that the right of patronage should be vested in those parties who subscribed not less than 50/. to the building of a church ; but why were persons who could not contribute such large sums to be deprived of a voice in the appointment of the ministers? He also objected to the clause which gave the right of nomination to any new church built in an extra-parochial place to the bishop, in stead of leaving it with the subscribers. He suggested, as the Bill was not a common-place one. but , of high importance, well deserving the attention of the House, that it should be referred to a Select Committee. The Bishop of LONDON said, the Bill had been prepared with the view of providing additional church accommoda tion. The popular cry now was that the Church should find the means within herself of extending her borders, and one of the most legitimate modes of doing so appeared to be from new cents. The Church Building Commissioners had found that in many cases where they had set apart a larger number of free seats for the poor than they had thought fit to avail themselves of it would be desirable, and it had been so represented to them, to let those seats at reduced rents. He had no objection to the Bill's going before a Select Committee. Lord STANLEY did not doubt the goodness of the object for which thell had been proposed, nor was he disposed to say that in some cases the number of tree seats might not be curtailed; but, in cases where persons had given large sums of money towards the building of a church, with the view of af f ording gratuitous accommodation to the poor, he thought it would be not only inexpedient in point et' policy, but a breach of faith also, by ex post facto legislation to im pose a charge upon those seats, at the discretion of the Com _ inissioners. v He objected, therefore, to that ez post facto legislation. Tnere was another point, also, which he thought deserving attention. It might be, under the Bill, in places where the parochial accommodation was amply sufficient, if sectarian feeling ran high, that the building of a church in the same neighbourhood might be authorised with the view of serving sectarian purposes alone. This was by no means an imaginary case, and he feared that it might not be a peculiar one. The Bishop of OXFORD observed, that it would not be the Ecclesiastical Commissilners, but the Church Building Commissioners, who would have the power of charging pew. rents. The Earl of CARLISLE said, the Bill was founded upon a report which had been made by. a Commission a few 3 ears ago. The Commi s sion, composed of gentlemen of different views, were unanimous in recommending it. It had been circulated largely among the clergy, who were generally in favour of it, and the Government also approved of the Bill as a well-conceived measure for promoting church ex tention within the pale of the Church itself. He believed that very good and cogent reasons could be shown for the provision for raising pew-rents, but it might be a question whether some means for obtaining the consent of the parish beforehand would not be a useful addition to the Bill. That was a matter, however, which would, no doubt, engage the attention of the Select Committee. The Bill was ordered to be referred to a Select Com mittee, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OE COMMONS, May 12. ECCLESIASTICAL TI I'LES BILL. _Continued from our Third Editi on o f l ast n i g h . ) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL apprehended, that the first ,hing that would strike any individual when considering he history of the standing orders in question, was that the sense in which the word "religion" was used in that order was one concerning matters of faith and doctrine, and not mere matters of ecclesiastical management, superintendence, or jurisdiction. The question then was, whether this Bill did in any way affect faith or doctrine, or in any manner concern epiritualities of any description. The Roman Catho lic Archbishop of Dublin, indeed said, that if the Bill passed he should not be able to ordain a priest or administer the sacrament of confirmation. Was it intended, then, to be said that from the year 1829 to the present moment there had been no ordination and no sacrament of confirmation performed by any Roman Catholic archbishop or bishop in Ireland, except by the Bishop of Galway, whose see had been created since 1829, or by the Archbishop of Tuam, there being no Protestant archbishop of that title? If the argument of the Hon. and Learned Member for Mayo were right, such must have been the case, because the provisions of the present Bill were precisely similar to those contained in the Bill of 1829. He apprehended there was not a Member in the House who would tell him that a Roman Catholic bishop could nut ordain a priest unless be were a bishop of some particular diocese—or that Dr. Wiseman could not have exercised his spiritual functions as well when he was Bishop of Melipotamus as he could when Archbishop of Westminster. The real meaning of Dr. Murray's statement was this :—" There are certain temporal advantages to the person ordained by me as Archbi s hop of Dublin which he would not possess if he were ordained by me under any other title." But that was clearly out of the precincts of religion. It dealt with temporalities merely. Reference had been made to an opinion of Mr. Willes, but how did that opinion commence? The Learned Counsel said, "1 em instructed that the Archbishop cannot ordain or do so and so unless it be under the titl e o f A rc hbi s h o p o f Dublin; and,l a ifd u(1: 7 co erectly instructed, then the Bill will have suchaL u s • l an effect." No w , i n th e fi rs t pl ac e, if the Learne d use were truly instructed, then the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and all the Catholic bishop -, of lrehrud must have been under au interdict for the last 22 years. IN as such a statement made to the Leaned Counsel? He (the Solicitor- General) would venture to say that nothing of the kind was ever hinted at; nor would any one very seriously contend that a Roman Catholic bishop's spiritual functions depended upon the title which he as. suined. But it was dangerous to act upon the opi n i on of counsel without knowing the stareme nti-id by the him. He would rather trust to the o p ini on given Right Hon. Gentleman in the chair, who formed his judg. ment not only from the standing orders of the House, but from the clauses of the Biil which formed the subject matter to which those orders applied. He had no doubt Mr. Speaker had arrived at a right conclusion on this questio n. . The Right Lion. Member for Manchester (speaking but ad arvidiani) disabilities the House s aid that when they were removing g a that went into a preliminary Committee, when they were i mpos i n g disabilities they did not think L necessary to go into Committee. But the Rink It et en Gentleman must be perfectly aware of the reason why the Hous e — went into Committee on the Catholic Reli e f Bill. That was a measure for altering an oath. There was a p o i n t rema i n i ng w hi c h deserved the consid erat i on of the House. Looking at the time when the ord er was made, and when the word n reli gion" was used, be ha -* by the word "religioeling i n Le first place contended that was meant " fsith and doctrine," he would now ask—hut what faith and doctrine? Was it not perfectly clear that it meant the faith and doctrine of the Es tablished Ch urch ? The order meant that the House should net tamper with the established re ligion nor alter its doc trines, without first havin the sanction Of a Committee of the whole H ouse. No law yer, in reading this Bill, would say • that it meant to effect a change in the doctrine or internal economy of the Roman Cathdic religion ; and to say that the Bill would alter or affect the established religion would • be absurd. The whole question was whether the Bill touched spiritualities. Looking at the Bill in every point of view, he was of opinion that it did not affect religion, nor touch any spi r it ua l f unc ti on of the Roman Catholic C hurch . If he depended on precedents be might refer to many; for instance, the Church Temporalities Act, the Tithes Commu tation Act, the Vestries Bill, the Curates Bill; these and other Bills hid been paned Oritimit EiY Po li ma l l r Y refer' ence to a Committee of the whole Honse; he, therefo re thought that if the House were to yield 'to the'argument which had been urged on this occasion, it would completely stultify itself, and at the same time be acting in direct oppo sition to the whole cnrrent of precedents. 11r. GLADSTONE thought the present discussion would have one useful result, in showing that the precedents on this important question were in a state that was most unsa tisfactory. Therefore, although that might not be a' suffi cient reason for interferring with the progress of the Bill, yet he thought it was most desirable that some rule should be laid down for their future guidance, in order that - an uni formity of practice might prevail' in a matter of 'no . ineonii derable - importance. 'The Solicitor-Gel:lei-ailed ingned . the question with great fairness. The - two main questions, as the Hoo. and Learned Gentleman had stated, were—first, whether the word " religion" in the standing 'order included any religion except the established religion? and, if it did, then, secondly, whether,' there being the Roman Catho lic religion , in this country, it could be said that its spiritualities were touched by this Bill or not? It ape peered to him (Mr. Gladstone) that the Solicitor-Generel_ was perfectly right in sa yi ng th a t th e pr e per mearu nget the standing order was, that it regarded not, religion in general, but the establi s h e d re li g i on o f t h e country . If tha t were so, what was the course which precedent pointed to for the House to follow? There was, he feared, no consistene or uniform precedent. The precedent of 1772 would lead to the inference that Bills which tended to affect th e securities of the est a bli s h e d re li g i on ought to pass throngs], preliminary Committees. It was true the Act of 1778 for the relief of the Roman Catholics was passed without going e through any such C omm i ttee, but then there were veno us precedents the othe r wa y. Th ere was the Act o f 182$, f or the repeal of th e C orporation and Test 'Acts, ' the Ac t o t . 1829, for the Eman c i pat i on o f the Roman Catho li cs , AT , several other Bills, all of which' were introance." through the medium of a Committee. The Solier tor-General had said that the reason those Bills wer e submitted to an intermediate Committee was, that they altered an oath. He (Mr. Gladstone) did not thibk t hat circumstance was alone :sufficient to account for the prac tice. He was of opinion th a t t h e standing order was intended ;5 protect the establish e d re li g i on ; and that whenever P er lin' rant dealt with the secur i t i es which the establishe d r ell' gion possessed, wheth er goo d or bad, the So dealing with them must p ass t h rough a preliminary Comm it t ee : The Honourable and Learned Gentleman h a d a l so said She! the meaning of the st an di ng order was that Parl i a ment not tamper with th e esta bli shed religion ; b u t that when measures were to be p asse d f or strengthening the OW rities of that religion then it was not necessary for Such lug re su to go through a p re li m i nary Committee. He ("e h Gladstone) believed th a t th at argument contained the and gist of the whole matter, that that was We doctrine to be extracted from the whole heap of precedents before there: and that Bills which injuriously affected, weakened, or diminished the se cu riti es o f ' t h e Establiehed Church, oug ht to to pass through a preliminary Committee; but that De • which purported to strengthen those securities did not ra j quire to go through th a t pre li m i nary stege. Looking, he'r, ever, at the preambl e o f t h e present Bill, he confessed thought that rule ought t o b e applied both ways.—(tes:; hear.) This Bill w as no t lik e one for repealing a tax; , it was a measure which, while giving to one party. we taking away from another; while it tended to strength . the Church of England, it took from the Roman Catholics that which they would otherwise enjoy. The question WS: one involved in con s id era bl e difficulties; and he thought .r or would be wise, wheth er w i t h reference to the present Bilin af to the future cour se o f l eg i s l at i on, to appoint a CommitteSee inquiry in order to fix upon some clear and authoritati v e construction of this important standing order, so that the practice of the House, which had been hitherto confused and, unintelligible, might be made clear, practical, and intelligib le : Mr. SADLEIR thought the very showing of Goverutneny in their speeches proved the Bill had reference to the lsts; blished Church. I n d ee d, h e b e li eved the Bill went fur the' than was ever contemplated by the restrictive clauses of the Act of 1829. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but after S short interval the door was re-opened, and we found Lord J. RUSSEL'', addressing the House. He Was- el ' serving there was no ground for further delay on the 84. 6 4 The instances of th e C orporat i on and Test Acts and of t'et relief of *Roman Catholic disabilities, qnoted by the Big e l Hon. Member (Mr. Gladstone), referred to supposed secu ri ties for the religion of the country, and those precedents to t not apply to the present case. He did not believe a SeL ec ,,,, Committee could do anything more than leave the pestle' to the discretion of the House. Mr. BRIGHT' recollected that the Noble Lord hatrerit h e ; drawn clauses from the Bill, on the ground that they affect.' the spiritualities of the Roman Catholic faith, and therefore the Bill came within the undoubted practice of the House* The Noble Lord invited the House to inflict an injury e n 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kinglet! : and to pass over certai n ru l es which the Established had insisted on for its own security. The Roman Catholic population stood before the House in precisely the same reit,' tion as the members o f th e E stablished e hurch, and t " ; Noble Lord ought to have been more careful, when takissa away their rights, to proceed with the utmost caution thin if he were engaged on a matter which would affect the power of the dominant' church. It would be only fair, in order to satisfy the Roman Catholics to reter the queston to a Select Committee, when they w ou ld see t h e House proceed vi n" as much care an d d e li cacy i n their ease as in that of the Pe" tablished Church. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion of adjournment .. 53 Against it ... 179 Majority for go i ng on w i th the debate 119 12 6 • On returning to the gallery, Mr. LAWLESS was speaking. He did not believe the majority represented the sense of the House, but that the/, represented the influence of the Government. He would. move that the House be adjourned.—(Ohl oh!) Mr. GRATTAN, as a Protestant Member, wished to a— cond the motion, and app ea l e d to t h e Noble Lord not to PO the question as a in ;Ater of good feeling. Lord J. RUSSELL said 'hat he had seen in the majority. many Hon. Members who had in general been opposed to his Government, and that he had never seen a more attentive House than had been present during this debate. That the House should now be called on to adjourn made him rasped. Hun. Gentlemen had faltered is the resolution which it was said they had come to —not to make any factious opposition , to the Bill—a resolution which he had very much admired. (Hear, and laughter.) They had heard the opinion of the Speaker and of several Hun. Members well acquainted with the forms of the House, and if there were any Irish Members - who thought they had a better opinion on points of order than the Speaker and these Hon. Members, perhaps it would' be as well ter the House to hear it. Mr. REYNOLDS disclaimed any intention of offering & factious opposition, but was not aware that any such reso lution as the Noble Lord mentioned had been-agreed upon- He was afraid the Irish Members would disappoint the Noble Lord in his anticipations of their political politeness. Would the Noble Lord consent to nominate a Select Committee, An d he (Mr. Reynolds) would not object to the debate going on pari passe ? Mr. KEOGH thought the Noble Lord had admitted it might be desirable to examine into precedents e which -W e a s in e ff ect all ow i ng th e propr i ety of a Committee. If . granted the Committee, they would not oppose his proceet ing with the Bill. Th e S pea k er said the reason why t order of the House did not apply was, that the Bill did notnot affect the spiritualities of the Roman Catholic Church. Th e Solicitor-General argued that the order did not apply,becaut • it was intended to refer to the Protestant religion exclusieedf - Surely such a difference of opieion was good ground for a Committee. . Sir G. GREY denied that his Neble Friend had expressede any opinion in favour ot a Committee • He had argued thee the question was of a different nature . from those which had been referred to. Mr. ANSTEY was of opinion that the course the Roman Catholic Members were p ursu i ng was nut calculated to s w ell the minority opposed to th e Bill. H e desired to Separate himself from them, because their object was evident l y to throw obstructio ns i n th e way of the House, and prevent it from proceeding with the Bill. Mr. MOORE expressed his surprise that the Hon. Met a• ber, who had hitherto been the very 'personification of obstruc tion—who had spent one whole session iu obstructing every thing—his own Bill among the rest—(A laugh)—should noW lecture others for following his example. Every Member unconnected with the Government who had spoken in the course of the debate admitted the desirableness of appointing a Committee. If the Noble Lord would consent to the ar pointment of a Committee, the motion for adjournment would be at once withdrawn. The House divided, when there appeared For the adjournment 36 Against it ...

Th e Bill b e f ore the House had been met by a great display of opinion in the country. That feeling spread through the length and breadth of the land, and the present attempt at legislation was the result of a certain undefined wish on the part of the people, that Parliament should do something. lie could not, as some Hon. Gentlemen contended, look at that movement as one emanating from the Church of England. The excitement out of doors was merely proof of an anxiety of feeling in the count e r). that thi s H ouse should interfere in religious matters. He *ought, howev er , that le a• this n subject was alt oget h er unnecessary. If the nd were att ac k ed, let it defend itself: C tio n n uf o eb n otfh If the Pope's nominees presumed to claim temporal or civil authority over the Sovereign of these realms, then would be the time to interfere, and no loyal Roman Catholic would refuse to assist. He should oppose the progress of the - Bill, and he would join in every legitimate division that could be taken on its merits at future stages. Mr. URQUIIAR V said, that when be last addressed the House h e was virtually precluded from entering into any question b u t t h at of the conduct of the Government. Since that period the Noble Lord at the head of the Government had opened up a branch of the question which appeared to him of great importance, and upon which he wisbed to ad dress a few considerations to the House. - The Noble Lord *Wed that the motive and object of the Papal Government in the step it had lately taken had been not a religious but a political one; that the Government of the Pope, operated upon by the Government of certain other European countries who were alarmed at the great influence which Englan d i exercised on the Continent in favour of Liberalisarfide st epCo r - stitutional government, had been induced to take the that, in short, the measure had ad i plom atic g flame; that, in a origin.

Member for the University of Ox ford, by the `Noble Lord the Member Foreignberfor Bath, Departmenta_ and oth b ere iti The Noble Lord at the head of th said that it was impos-ible for us to meet the aggression .by diplomatic arrangement, bec a use a fter r the Pop e had taken so decided a course we shou ld only expose ourselves by so doing to huntiliatioe and defeat. The Master of the Rolls, however, had used a very different argument. He said, " How could we go to Rome after the introduction of the clause into the Diplomatic Relatiens Bill which had offended the Pope and vitiated the action of that measure ?"—(Heare) The whole question had been placed in a faulty position by the introduction of the topic of the law of nations; for there were no treaty rights with respect to the Pope, and unless the Pope had injured one of our citizens, infringed our territory, or done some such act, that question could not arise. In Armenia the same conduct had been pursued as in England by the Pope, but there, 'as the matter was treated with contempt, the Roman Catholics protested against it- If, however, the same course had been pursued in Armenia as had been hollowed in England, and if the people had been told that by the act of the Pope the undivided sway of the Sultan was in danger, probably the whole b o dy of the Armenians would have exhibited the same servility as the Roman Catholics here had shown to that potentate, the Pope- The Hon.
