We stated in our Paper of yesterday that a majority of upwards of thirty against it was confidently anticipated. The anti cipation has proved correct. The Bill was rejected by-a majority of 42. Lord Colchester, recently returned from the Continent, who distinguished himself by his opposition to the Catholic Claims when Speaker of the House of Commons, took a leading part in the debate of last night. [MORNING lIERALD.] Mr. Wallace last night abandoned the Ware 'housing Bill for the present Session. In. stating that he should withdraw it for the present, he said that there was much misapprehension out of doors respecting the •Bill—that erroneous. opi nions regarding its tendency were entertained — but that his sentiments, as to the value and policy, of the Bill, remained unchanged. Ile, however, withdrew it " in consequence of the advanced period Of the Session;;'.' adding, that be should certainly brim it forward early. in the next Session of Parliament. The Manufacturing Interests will learn with satisfaction that their petitions and representations have not been pre ferred in vain. It is admitted that so important /a measure ought not to_proceed,without affording 'more opportunity for consideration than the ad vanced period of the Sessions offered. • , • [MORNING CIIRONICLEJ It has been remarked, that at a late ball given by a certain Illustrious Personage to a Foreign Prince, and which consequently was to'be con sidered(rather as a ceremony of etiquette than . as a private entertainment,- the whole of the Foreign Representatives being naturally invited to the same,. a: single eXception was matte with respect to such a regular act of political urba nity. But, whatever the motive may be (and we do'not presume to be initiated in the niysteries of high coteries,. though rumour attributes the original cause to the influence and example' of the Arnbassadors of the Holy 'the fact that the.. - Spanish Ambassador was the only one not invited to the above - -mentioned' fete ; and. as, ace; exemplum regit - lotus coM ponitur orbis, a Noble Lord, who they 'say cannot mOVe unless in leading-strings held by that diligent dry-nurse . Prince Metternich, has tened, in the ardour of his- zeal for. the ser vice of his master, to-anticipate .his —y--I will-by not inviting the same ,ambassador to the party, which his Lordship held lately in honour of the Foreign Prince alluded to. A desultory observation strikes us,. en passant, upon .this double instance of_. courtly meanness, viz. the personage in - ,question and his sedulous servant withouynnpropriety, distinguish the objects of. their predilection by confidentially • treat ing or - coaxing them either at BrL-i-ght----n and, W=Hnds7—r, or at. N—rth but we do not think that they, can with equal justice on occa sions of a• solemn and public nature like those two s ndulge their likings and antipathies to the lengths of excluding' any of the Diplomatic Agents from an hbnour to whieh they are 'all en titled by the character of 'their ;unctions.; an ex clusion which- implies not only a wrobg to the .but to the nation of.. which he is the Representative. [THE -T11,41:.9.] W e believe that no man has ever attended the. Courts of JustiCe of FranCe,. without almost la menting the prostitution of that noble institution, the-Jury, from tho, manner in which. it is there applied. Its management inScotlarid seems to bebf a yet More, exceptionable kind. Notwith standing this, Ministers had intimated their in tention of opposing - any change system.— the . Mr. Kennedy's speech, however, on the subject. on Thursday night, disclosed so many absurdities, that this determination was suddenly relinquished, and ministerial people supported the second read ing of the Bill. It has been accordingly read a second. _time, and the Committee upon it has Been - , fixed. - Still it is conceived That it is the o secret intention of Administration, by some one or - more of those little manoeuvres which supply the place of talents, to defeat the measure. It will, therefore, require the utmost attention of those who are favourable to the diffusion of the blessings consequent upon a fair:trial by a well,chosen jury, to attend to the Progress of the Bill, and give it their firmest support. In the Scottish Courts the Judge selects 45 jurymen, who are to .meet him.on:,the circuit; from theforty-five be next chooses those who. are to try the cause ; and no right of .chal lenge is . allowed for favour, prejudice, or affec tion.. If any foreigner were informed that , this was:-the mode of trying: within the Island of' Great Britain, he would be very much perplexed, we, apprehend, to knoW in what that excellence consisted, of which we 'so, much vaunt, in the administration of justice. • [NEW TIMES.] We some time since observed on the influence which preventsthe French Ministers-from acting with vigour and decision against the enemies of the House of Bourbon. This influence arises out of the personal and family connexions of the disaffected: and we are far from thinking that the Ministers ought to draw. upon themselves the determined hostility of so large a. portion.of so ciety by ,measures_hf rigor or severity. But on the other hand they ought to feel that with them, in• an especial .manner, character is strength ; they .should never compromise a principle, .nor confound the limits of virtue and vice, loyalty and sedition.„ These :remarks appear to be called, for by two' Ordinances .of the King of France, recalling to the Chamber of . Peers two individuals who certainly ought never to have been seated in - that august Assembly—Marshal Sachet and General' Belliard. Sachet is best known by the savage butchery of Tarragona; which was appropriately rewarded by the savage Buonaparte, with a Dukedom and a Marshal's staff: Created a Peer of France by Louis XVIII. in 1814, he became a.traitor to his King in 1815, violated his oath, and bore arms under the rebel standard during the hundred days of disgrace and mourning to France. Belliard was equally honoured by the King in 1814, and even appointed Major General of the Arniy which was collected round Paris . in March 1815 ; he •also became a traitor, was sent first by Buonaparte as Ambassador to Naples, and then appointed to command the army of the Moselle, which continued in arms against the King till After Buonaparte's second abdication:—Such are the men whom a Royalist Ministry recals to the Chathber of Peers !-- .The reason assigned is, that they were absent during the Hundred Days.— Absent ! Tluit is to say, commanding armies in actual rebellion. This is a reason for their re ceiving the highest , honour that their Sovereign can bestow ! This is a reason for selecting them to be. main supporters of the lawful Throne! [MOUNING POST:] • The Bill . for allowing Roman Catholic -Peers :o sit and vote In the House of Lords was last night rejecthd, on the question of the second reading, by a -nett majority of 42 ; the numbers being--for It 129, against•it 171% The subject matter of the discbssion is so familiar to our readers, as- well as mot of the arguments on both sides, that we find it, difficUlt. on 'the present oc casion:to point out much having at all the appear.: ance of novelty. Some fundamental doctrines of the Constitution were however noticed by the Lord Chancellor, in his very,impressive spi , ech,ts were 'also some circumstances. by .:the Earl of Liverpool, which the public will peruse with in terest. -In regard to the fixed and unchangeable character of the Constitution, as established in 1688, the opinion of the Noble and Learned Lord we take to be the highest-which it is -pos, Bible to obtain. His Lordship admits that what ever.the Legislature.has made., it may unmake Or modify, and therefore that the Legislature of to-day may alter what that of yesterday. enacted, and that of to-morrow what is done by the Le gislature of to -day. But -while. his Lordship made this concession, he . referred to the seve ral statutes made at the,' period of the. Revo inclUding those against:Catholics, in which t wording marks them to be. particularly rent from the ordinary laws .of the Realm. they are expressly stated to ,be " essential funda mental laws made for ever ;" whereas the 'other enactments of that period ruu in the usual Par- liamentary language. Ile did not say, that.be•- 'cause of the foregoing peculiarity, those funda mental laws were absolutely irrevocable ; but • still nothing short of the most paramount :neces sity -could justify their .infraction ; and before they were trenched upon, not only.. immediate but remote advantage, unalloyed with evil, should be obvious from doing : so. Ilis Lordship then took an extensive.and masterly view, both legal . and political, of the measure before.the and entered his protest against it in the most solemn and affecting terms. Jhe: Earl of,liver pool, in his speech, .which was characterized by his Lordship's accustomed energy and clearness, observed in one place on the tlis advantage of dividing this Bill from .the . general measure of emanicipation. Thelatter,if.rontined to this country solely, would, in his: opinion, have always met with insurmountable objections ; but when it came - before Parliament,. combined with the, pqwerful considerations derived to the ques tion from:lreland, where the •great: mass of the people. were Catholics, there was the greatest possible, reason held, out to make some sacrifice in favour of the measure, when it went to .tran quillize the Sister Country and cement the Union. The Noble Lord, at the same time, insisted .that the 150 years of strife and bloodshed which dis graced England betwe,en.the Reformation and.the Revplution, were owing to .the want of a dorni-. nant. religion connected intimately witb-, the State. Since 1688, the Protestant: Establishment, with a Protqtant King, Lords, and CommonS, had, been firmly, fixed, and during this Period' tbe: country had flourished in wealth, liberty, and intelligence, beyond• all former_ example, .and hence became evident.. the danger of, attempting to alter the fundamental laws of the Consti- titian,. and with them to disturb the religious peace ,of the people. The Bill was also ably opposed by. Lord Colchester and Lord Redesdale, and .strenuously supported by the. Duke-of. Port land, Lord Erskine, Lord Grey, Lord Holland; and Lord Grenville. The debate lasted till half past twelve o'clock, when the division which we have alreaily, stated took place, and the Bill was lost. The price of gold has fallen to 775. 6d. the ounce, being 41d7 below the Mint price, a,cir cumstance which has not taken place since the year 1797, and was of very rare occurrence pre vious to that period. • Capt. VALLE was executed at•TouVon, on the 10th inst. pursuant to the sentence of the •Assize Court of that town, on his conviction as one of the principal agents,of a conspir3cy against the Government. Mr. PRICE, the. Manager of the• New York Theatre, is now in London, Leming up ,for: re cruits for his company. Mr. MATTLiEws stands first on his list. Mr. - , arid Mrs. BARNES,_ late of the . London boards, have also arrived in town after a long visit, to Arnerica. On Saturday (15th inst.) ROBERT ALEXANDER, Editor of the Sentinel, and the quondam partner of W. M. BowniwicK, Was incarcerated.-in the Gaol of this city on letters of caption,,proceed ing on a decree• of the -Magistri.;.cs of Glasgow, for upwards of .1001.: sterling, as being Money uplifted and not accounted for by ALEXANDER, while in the• employ of Mr. BORTHWICK.— (Glasgow Chronicle.) Thursday evening, between eight o'clock and bed-.ime„ Mr. Speedy, of the Boot public-house, behind the. Foundling Hospital, was robbed of 150 sovereigns and two watches. The property was safe in his Limners in the bedroom about eight o'clock.; but on retiring to rest, he found his drawers forced open, and his money and ;watches gone. FOR THE SUN. HERESIES-(AN ANSWER.) M It. Envrott--From the. admission of the ano nymous article ' under the title of 44 Heresies," in your Paper of Wednesday last,' I doubt whether any observations upon it, if of an oppo site tendency, may admit of insertion in your co lumns. But as your own writings display a love .Of truth and justice, with free discussion, I send the following remarks :=I will not detain you by a close attention to the Letter, nor with any consideration' of a speculative nature, whether its assertions are true or false. One, however, might infer that the writer of it - has received some wound either in his conscience, from a tteglect of his own duties, or from his worldly prospects be ing in a degree blighted by some particular per , son or class of persons, who holding opposite opi.: nions to his own, must of 'course maintain the Wrong, must needs be " hypocrites," because they . have divulged their doctrineS publicly, or be could not have known them, must needs be " enthu siasts" beCause , they have accomplished, because they have advanced their plans, and prosecuted them with a laudable zeal and •unwearied exer l'fion, which is contrary to. your Correspondent's ' notions of sobriety ; and, least of all, con sistent, - I suppose. he believes, with.the no r tiOn of a Superintending Providence. He has made an attack very angrily upon -, some set of religious persons, whether- Christians or Unita rians, or what else they are, h e has not been pleased to tell us explicitly, except in these words :---:-" Such innovations as the Partizans for the New Birth 'and New Lights would rejoice to see triumphant over the- sound and sober doc- . trines of - our pure and Reformed - Church."=-• What innovations, on the fi rst view of this pas-. sage, - I may ask, are meant ? None are stated. It says, r " . Such as the Partizans," Sze. I ask, what these innovations are? He says, " Un happily)" certainly he Writes' very much so; " there are many o f theSe_ Enthusiasts in,the bo soni of the Church who have-crept in unawares;7 , and then he continues in a. strain evidently ner= vous, until lie:takgs,opportunity „to compliment you r paper, mode'rately, and justly, and . then goes On to point out" that there exists a species of se . - iect vestry, cornposed of the leading, sectarians, commonly called Evangelical, who have the entire management of tin,' iininense fund, collected. through.the means, of their emissaries from every *part of the kingdom-,,' by gathering weekly a penny from all the families who attend their preachers. The directors. of this fund apply a portion of it .toldrebase• any presentations below a certain"valne _Which conieltito the market; and ' as. they are anxious , to—increase their temporal power, usually outbidothers - who wish 'to purT. chaSe, and then placel.n these livings individuals_ who are of the same . sect, and thus diSserninate' pe their ars t a doctrines, i.e ss t i o xh , i clt unsupportedare iti i n opposition an y manner, a t n o n t e h r e , ,1 1 .4 1 . s ii t i :b h li .i s s h s e u d si C 3i h ci u o r u c s l:. -i ' f it l:T i P s. o . i t i l o t t h a e lt f o a :g ce et o h f 6r th u i i s li a u p ;.. t p i t i i i. a si l i ) [ l n c e . Moreover,lofthe usurpation: Church, whose rendezvous , is not exposed, who are accused of some are in the knowledge- of your Correspon - :dent) we are left to gness,.or :,rerniin ignorant.-=• names are r , n n t eo h tf e bnle,htteriayt Establishede tdh,e whoser ee x - ists a party, known to the- author of the , article :on Heresies, meeting together for the final accom- i w ejea certairrcrimes, but in what instancei (of course I ask, is this the sound and ~sober policy of the Established Church? To s upport, to acknow ledge, to- countenance such apparently . baseless , assertions as these; is it a fair attack or exposi tion of imputed misdemeandurs,:iS it candid, is it manly i One would have thought, if your Corres... pondent is a Member of the Establisbed Church, that he would have designated ' its MinisterS by • sorne•defined; appropriate title, rather than "in dividuals . Who are -of the same: sect :''• if he is a priest himself, he was under a stronger obli gation to give honotir unto whom . honour is , due. What is meant . by'" anxious to- increase , their teriaporal power," I confess I 'do trot understand, and I trust that we are not - bound to accept an' unsupported ".ipse direit" as proof of fact in these attacks. He proceeds to state, "With these doctrines WE have nothing to do." infer from the expression " We," your Correspondent is of the Established Church, and a Clergyman in it also-: I ani of the same, but a - layman ; after his vague charges, and' abuse of these doctrine's in the previous part of his 'letter, it is well to soften them, if possible, by adding, " with these we have nothing to do:" " let them enjoy them to their hearts' content"—is ,this the charitable, this the sound - and sober doctrine of his pure and Re formed Church ; coldly, listlessly, and indiffer ently, to allow these enthusiasts, these hy'pocrites, these sectarian's these partizansi to sit in error, and no attempt, no exertion, (strenuous it ought to be), made to hbld out to thorn the lamp of truth, to, the end and intent that they may be guided and return into the right path ; no endeavour to effect this, but by anonymous abuse, or a total resignation of these beings to their fatal errors' or " damnable heresies ?".. • The last sentence of his letter is still more un defined; having already pointed out the partizans, &c. a little advice is given to a whole Church, the Established Church, notto permit "a body . of men who profess and sedulously disseminate-the 'same doctrines as themselves" (as the Sectarians) " to snake the. church a cloak for' their hoStile intentions." • Here then, through along column of abuse, the sum of .which a dozen lines would have contained, this defender of the Established Church at last breathes his censorious admonition against the Church itself. Thus , cursorily have I traced the author herein, and now let me add. but a few :observations, and remind you of a few incontrovertible • facts. Without sneering at the doctrines of a saint or of a libertine, has our 'author given these partizans credit: for one good action ?Is it unhappy for-the Established Church that Sectarians haVeexis ted from time to time until now ? Have Sectarians erected places for public worship, where such never were before ? Have they been built in large towns in such situations as would 'best allure their objects from their vicious. habits and pursuits ? What sects lead the way to the building of additional churches for members of the Eliablished Church ? Have they been deficient in disseminating doctrines of mo rality ? have these Sectarians attempted to,pro cure their followers by wealth ? have they sought to enroll the opulent or great among them ? Have not their Ministers 46 gone in and out" and attended to the worthliest, most uneducated, poorest beings this country exhibits ? Have they not indefatigably endeavoured to reclaim them ? Can it be denied that THEY have introduced discip line and order amongst the lower classes, habits of sobriety and cleanliness ? Have they not extir pated gaming and inebriety in a great degree from amongst them ? Will your, secret Corres pondent venture to assert, that in their institu tions, in the doctr;nes laid down by them, there is any other tendency than to inculcate and render them an enforcetnent to obedience to the Laws' of the Country, charity to their neighbour, and duty towards their Saviour and their God ? What salaries do even the highest Ministers among them receive ? Can he assert with truth the charge of their purchasing the presentations to livings ? Will he tell us why he calls Sectarians, " Evan gelical?" Finally, for I fear to intrude upon you too much, who in the last tremendous and awful contest between the Protestant Church and Papal Wealth and influence here, so effec tually, so strenuously aided in the defeat of the undermining and insidious machinations of the latter. Have these Dissenters, Sectarians, or whatever title you choose to give them, have they applied any " ten-penny fund ?" have they had any " O'Connor Subscription" for the purchas ing seats in the H- of C s, in order to procure the subversion of the Protestant Ascend ancy ? Lastly, let your Correspondent remem ber"; hasty attacks on these subjects often prove the severest wounds to the Established Church ; that often they a,re given in these abuses against " Evangelical Sects ;" it is but a cloak under which a dagger is conveyed to the bosom of the -Church very frequently. Let him remember to give jostice where justice is due; not to judge of institutions by solitary instances of their perver sion, but their - natural tendencies ; and lastly as sure him if he will dispassionately discuss the propriety of such institutions, it will be worth -while to attend to ilk communications ; let him take heed,and know that either too much rash, in discriminate, .or inconsiderate zeal, often ruins a good Cause, and gives advantage to the opposing party.

Mr. TIDTDAL moved for a 'rule' to Miew cause. Why a manda mus should not issue, to be•directed to the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, commanding him to admit Mr. Jeffson to the Professorship, of Mineralogy in that University, to which he had been elected by a majority of the Senate. The Professorship of Mineralogy . is founded by the grace of the Se nate of the University, consisting of the Vice-Chaneellor, Five Heads of Colleges, the Non-Regent, and the Regent Master of Artg: Upon the death of The late Dr. 'Clarice, who had filled the Mineralogical Professor's chair, the Senate enacted another grace, whiCh is equivalent to a bye-law, and there were three candidates for the chair, to WhiCh a kiperid of 1001. per ann. is attached, with The usual lecturer's class fees, making the income altogether about 400]. The question was, whether the right of election was in the heads of colleges called the Caput, or in the - general body of the Senate ? The Caput claimed, the exclusiye right of election, and although the majority of the Senate was in favour of Mr. Jeff son, the,Caput declared, that a Gentleman named Henslow was elected, and the. Vice-Chancellor refused to admit Mr. Jeffson, on the authority of an University Statute of Elizabeth, which he contended vested the right of election in the Caput. The Learned Counsel urged that it was .a question of considerable importance to the whole of, the academical body, and he cited 3 Burr. IV, 47, as an authority to shew that:Mandamus would lie. The COURT expressed . considerable doubt whether this was a.case in which the writ of Mandamus would lie,. but granted a rule to shew cause. SUMMER ASSIZES,. 1822—WESTERN CIRCUIT.

CORONER'S INQuEsT.--Last night an Inquest was held , before S. H. GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, at the Barley Mow, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of a man found drowned, the same morning, in the Basin, Hyde-Park. A Gentleman in the Jury Room identified the dewased to, be a Mr. Daniel Seyton, who had resided for many years in St. Georges Parish.—Verdiet,--" Found Drowned." • A most distressing occurrence took place at Wisbedh on Monday last : as a waggon laden, with wheat was turning a corner in the town, four children were run over, one of Whom was killed on the spot and two others dreadfully in fourth escaped unhurt. RICHARD WINSLETT, an industrious and well known respectable farmer, of Richmond, was driving one of his large teams, loaded with his neighbours, to Moulsey races, on Wednesday last, and accidentally running against a spur post within a mile of the course, his waggon was overturned and his head so terribly bruised and lacerated, that although he had the most skilful attendance of Sir DAVID DUNDAS, &c, lie died on Thursday night, leaving a disconsolate widow and family, thereby thrown into the ut most woe and distress. FOR THE SUN. Mr. EDITOR—I have this moment met-Witfli paragraph, in the British Monitarof Sunday last, which, after mentioning the production of the Tragedy of, Regulus, at Paris, expresses sorprise at the publication of my letter in the Morning Herald of the 14th instant, and concludes thus-- - ." " The French author might retort Upon Mr. Ll-7 10 by saying, you accuse me of writing my Tragedy after having seen yours ; perhaps you foundo yours upon Metastasio's, Pradon's, or Dorat'sr . In reply to the above, I beg leave to observe' with deference, that it would not be qyite fait: in the French author to c9nstrue my letter into an accusation ; nor do I conceive that. the po . ' sition which the Monitor suggests.could bejustlY considered in the light of a retort, as . l do not admit the parallel. The attempt, to transfitse, some of the beauties which may exist •in drama, acted and published in another language! into our own, is as fair a literary effort as original composition ; but the case is surely different with regard to a priiate manuscript; The whole of the works extant on the subject, 'Whether 'gf, Historians or Dramatists, were, of course, eqUally open to us both : how far each author has availed h i mself thereof will app ear , i n th e e vent. of my` play being - made publidi ibut I do , not conceive , that . either the tenor of my leiter, or the circumstance of its appearance, was cal culated to excite surprise; for, if my manuscript had been intended only for publication, and had never been out of my owu possession, I should have deemed it equally incumbent on me, for nIY own satisfaction, to mark the coincidence, and to prove, by the best means in my , power,Ahe prior existence of my own production. 1 remain, Sir, your obliged and obedient Servant •J.
