Loans may be effected on the security of a Policy, or Policies will be purchased on liberal terms. Age admitted in the Policy. Fraud only to vitiate a Policy. Claims to be paid within three months after proof of death. Unopposed Probates of the Diocesan Courts may be held sufficient to entitle claimants to receive or recover the amount of Policies, without the expense and delay of a Prerogative Probate. A Board of Directors will sit daily at one o'clock, to enable parties to effect Insurances with the least possible delay ; and the Medical Officers are in daily attendance at both Offices, for the examination of applicants. Medical Men remunerated in all cases for their reports. ENDOWMENTS, and IMMEDIATE and DEFERRED ANNUITIES GRANTED, and REVERSIONS PUR CHASED. TRUSTS. The peculiar adaptation of a Public Company to the admi nistration of Trusts, and the preference it has to the agency of individuals, is now generally acknowledged. The ample guarantee it offers for the faithful and diligent discharge of those duties required in carrying out, properly and effectively, c' Testamentary and all other Trusts," cheaply and securely, which are now too frequently long litigated, expensively exe cuted, or, from fraud or insolvency, not performed at all, must recommend it as the hest possible agency for such business.

It is scarcely less remarkable for its power in improving the condition and babit of body, and the , efore it is not without reason esteemed a great restorative; but the narrow views of the Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic affections, and there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter ing the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it does most manifestly in serofulous,consumptive,eud dropsical habits, and cachexies—foul or perverted states of the humours, mg."

ELEGANT MARINE MANSION, with PARK and PAD DOCKS of 108 Acres of fine Land in a ring fence, orna mented with magnificent Timber, and Pleasure Grounds of unrivalled beauty. nR. NIGHTINGALE has been honoured with directions from the Executors of the late Mrs. S. HUTTON, deceased, to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, on TnESPAY, June .93, at Twelve, - That important and highly valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE, known as BEVOIS or BEVOIS MOUNT, comprising a ca pital and first-rate Mansion, with Offices, Park, Padlocks, Pleasure-grounds, Cottages, and Gardens, in all exceeding 108 acres of land, in a ringifence, situate upon the hill at the present extremity of the town, within the county of the town of South ampton, at the point of separation of and lying between the two roads from thence to the city of Winchester, the principal Lodge entrance to the estate being through a noble arch on the Avenue-road, at the one mile stone from the Bar-gate at Southampton, 11 miles from Winchester, 17 from Portsmouth, and 74 from London. The Mansion, which is of a very supe rior class, remarkably substantially built, of handsome eleva tion, with most admirable interior arrangements, in perfect order, having undergone thorough reparations only four years since, at an expense of several thousand pounds, is judiciously placed near the centre of the estate, and commands most beautiful views of this justly admired county, including the Lie of Wight, the New Forest, and the Southamp ton Water ; the entrance thereto is from the west, under a stone portico, into a spacious Entrance-hall with Reception Rooms on either side thereof, a suite of three well-proportioned Rooms in the south front extending 97 feet in lei:gth and opening into ' fi s v te e n C e e s lla ta r i s re o a n se th , eleßadaisretg a Conservatory , various other Rooms Water Closet, and very o h n an t ei G me ro G un ee d in F e l t o r o ie r a ; l mtoeantsp;lendid Boudoir, 31 feet long with covered ceiling, and Do mestic Offices a opening to a Stone Gallery with a veranda, four principal Bed rooms with Dressing-rooms, nine capital Bed-rooms, a Bath room, two Water Closets, and Store-rooms, &c., on the first floor ; Servants' Apartments and Closets on the upper floor. The detached Offices are numerous and convenient, with Brew house, Stabling for 10 Horses, double Coach-houses, Walled Gardens, with Gardener's House, Farm-yard, and Agricultural Buildings, and there are also three Cottages and Gardens. The Pleasure-Grounds are extensive, and embrace the far famed acclivity ycleped Bevois Mount, the steep sides of which are laid out with Gravel Roads and Walks, covered with Ever greens, interspersed with stat el y Timber rees, and ornamented with a variety of alcoves and seats, and the summit is a spacious Terrace Lawn, from which the visitor cannot fail to delight himself with the varied and extensive Landscape, and at the same time enjoy the invigorating breezes of the not far-distant sea. The Park and Paddocks are studded with magnificent Timber and Thriving Plantations, the Land is of excellent quality, and an invaluable feature in this Estate is, a naturally flowing, ample, and never-failing spring of the purest water. The Land-tax is redeemed, and the Parochial rates are extremely low. The writer presumes to affirm his opinion that an Es. tate possessing so many important attractions, and really valuable advantages, as the Bevois Mount Estate, is indeed very rarely submitted to public competition, and conscious that his pen cannot faithfully describe the beauties of the scene itself, respectfully solicits an inspection. The property must be seen to be justly appreciated. It may, how ever, be stated that the Mansion is perfect, and adapted for a Minister of State. The importance and locality of the property are such that the fortunate. owner cannot fail, should his wishes so incline, of being returned Member for Southampton. It offers to the classic the chosen retreat of the celebrated Earl Peterborough, whose property it formerly was, and in whose time it was the favourite resort of the sweet " Bard of Twicken ham," and Pope's seat still adorns the grounds. Sotheby, that well-known votary of the Muse, once possessed it, and has celebrated the attractions of this delightful residence in his poem entitled " Farewell to Bevois Mount." To the member of the Royal Yacht Squadron it would be an elegant estate, within a few minutes' walk of the sea, and also within an easy distance of the New Forest, the H. H., and the Hambledon Hounds. To the merchant, a superior residence, within a mile of the new Docks and the contemplated Steam-packet Port for the Mails to and from the Western world, and within three hours' ride per railway of the first capital of the globe. And, though last not least, it offers to all, especially to the capitalist and speculator, a mine of wealth by appropriating the land to building purposes, for which, from its close proximity to the most admired part of a fashionable watering place and rapidly improving borough, from is elevated site, having also nearly a mile of frontage to the Avenue and Portswood roads, and with brick earth upon the estate, it is remarkably adapted an,l sin gularly eligible. Descriptive particulars to be obtained in due time on the pre mises ; also at Coupland and Co.'s library, Southampton ; and at the Auction Mart, London; and, with tickets to view, of G. H. Halton, Esq., 1, New Boswell-court, Lincoln's-inn ; and of Mr. Nightingale, estate agent and surveyor, Kingston upon-Thames, Surrey. pLEASING RESULTS.—To find the ex ercise of our judgment attended by success, is the most pleasurable realisation we can arrive at. Improvement of some kind is generally the attainment kept in view. There is, how ever, an object universally desired in the preservation and en hancement of personal appearance, and hence the importance attached to the toilet. In this interesting der‘artment the ex perience of nearly a century furnishes conclusive testimony as to the value of GOWLAND'S LOTION in producing a pure surface of the skin, with the clear and animated tint essential to a fine complexion. Elegance of preparation, singularly refreshin ' qualities, and it s positive effect in preventing the discolo urat i on incident to the season , will be found among the pleasin g resu l ts invariably attending the use of Go Aland s Lotion.

THE ASSASSIN.—The following is the latest gossip we have heard about the wretched youth : —No clue had been obtained at a late hour yesterday as to the writer of the treasonable documents, or to the place at which the crape cap and sword found at the prisoner's lodgings were bought. The powder flask purchased for 2s. of Mr. Hayes at the time Oxford bought the pistols, has not yet been discovered. It was stated last night that the prisoner had made no communi cation of any importance to the Sheriffs or Governor of New gate; but that the officers engaged were actively employed throughout the day in prosecuting inquiries relative to some extraordinary circumstances connected with the prisoner's act. On the refusal of Mr. Humphries, Mrs. Oxford has secured the services of Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, to manage the de fence of her son. That defence will be insanity, and Mrs. Oxford states that her son inherits it from his father, as she can prove by many witnesses from Birmingham. 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND, AND 39, ALBENIARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.— DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—A greater proof of he value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' Invisible Ope rative Voice Conductor, and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, cannot be addaced than the circumstance of the many thou sands of individuals who have obtained the greatest benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense demand there is for them, and the patronage they have and daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name and the sale of amber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " amber," and calling them "Patent Spectacles. " Dr. Andrew Ure, Esq., M.D., F. R. S., Sze. s tates amber is most powerfully electrical by f r iction, very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments. The workmen, tos, are subject to a nervous tremour in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such d r eadfully-excited electrics: Amber is of such a soft and sticky nature that it is apt to take tire ; and when exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame. This statement is further con firmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Chemistry. T he pernicious and destructive use of such a material for spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascer tained at any respectable optician's in London. EXTRAORDINARY AND DARING FEAT.— One day last week, a workman connected with the St. Helen's Colliery, in this county, repaired to the bottom of the shaft, after his labour for the day was over. Not finding the rope at the bottom, he actually commenced ascending the conductors in the shaft, which is upwards of 130 yards deep, and in a very short time gained the bank ! The individual who performed this rash and daring act is named Nixon ; and although he is quite a dwarf, has done what probably not ene man in a thou sand would dare to attempt. It need hardly be added that 14, received a severe reprimand for his conduct. Had the aUgine man arrived at the top of the shaft, be would instantly have sent the cages down, which would have dashed the daring aspirant to the bottom and killed him immediately : he could not possi bly have escaped, there being only room for the cages to pass and repass. —Durham Chronicle, The Marquis of NORM ANBY said that the sub ject to which the petition referred was then under the consideration of the Government. Lord HATHERTON presented a petition from Walsall, in the county of Stafford, against what was called Church Extension. Earl GOSFORD presented a petition from Armagh against intrusion in the Scottish Church. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a number of petitions in favour of his Bill for the amendment of the existing laws of Church patronage in Scotland. CHURCH OF SCOTLANDBENEFICES BILL. The NOBLE EARL then moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Church of Scotland Be nefices Bill. He said that having on former occasions occupied a considerable portion of their Lordships' time, when he laid upon the table of the House the Bill of which he had now to move the second reading, it was not necessary, on the present occasion, to enter into any detailed view of the objects of the measure. It was necessary, however, to occupy their attention for a short time in consequence of the circumstances in which the question was at present placed ; and it was necessary for him to state the reasons for which he thought their Lordships ought to argue to the princi ple of this Bill, by allowing it to be read a second time. It was his conviction that, if the existing dissensions in the Church of Scotland were to be terminated in a manner at all consistent with the preservation of the national establishment, it must be by some measure founded on the same principles as this Bill. He had already mentioned to their Lordships that he felt the greatest satisfaction at the manner in which the Bill had been received. in Scotland. It had been received with satisfaction by a large body of the clergy, and by the most exemplary and eclightened of the laity. Not a day passed in which he did not receive the most urgent entreaties from all parts of the country, to forward the measure without dclay.—(Hear.) But it was un doubtedly true that the - General Assembly had taken a less favourable view of it. A Noble Marquis opposite had asked him the other day if it was his intention to persevere in this measure after the declaration of the majority of the country against it. He (Lord Aberdeen) did not think the opinion of the country had been so ex pressed, and he assured the Noble Marquls that neither directly nor indirectly bad he authorised any person to say that lie had any intention of abandoning the Bill. The objections of the General Assembly were so mon strous and unheard of, that none of their Lordships would agree to them, whatever might be their own objections to the Bill. His Noble and Learned Friend opposite (Lord Brougham) had at an early period of the Session stated his opinion, without denying the:necessity for Legislative ititerferenee on the subject, that before any new step was taken, the existing law should be duly executed and obeyed. That sentiment was undoubtedly a just and natural one, and peculiarly appropriate on the part of the Noble and Learned Lord, who might be ex- petted to feel more deeply interested in the matter than most of their Lordships. He (the Earl of A.) should, un der ordinary circumstances, have approved of that opinion. On the present occasion, however, when he recollected thet the parties in the case were the members of the Established Church of Scotland, .and when he recol lected that the error into which they bad fallen was at least an error committed in good faith ; and when he recollected, in addition, that the judgment of their Lordships bad rendered the act of the Scottish Church a complete nullity, he thought that by introducing a measure which should practically exclude the illegal decision of the Church, and which night qualify the principle which they had introduced, and settle the law upon the point—he thought that by doing so they would put an end to those dissen sinus which had so long prevailed in Scotland, and which, unless some steps were taken, there was but little prospect of soon seeing terminated. The measure which he introduced had been violently de n:>ucced as one which had produced a principle of un warrantable interference on the part of thz. State, and which iavolved the exercise of a power unheard of in the most bloody times.—( Hear.) It was also said to be the prelude of a tyranny which was to un cluistian4.e. the parishes of Scotland, and trample on the sacred rights of conscience. —(Hear, hear.) Now ho (the Earl of Aberdeen) believed, on the con trary, that the measure would contribute to the spiritual independence of the Church, and would only determine its proper jurisdiction.—(Hear. That position might seem somewhat startling, but the host way to answer such objections was at once to recal their Lordships' attention to what the pro visions of the Bill were. Being desirous of giving effect to the principle of non-intrusion, and finding that the law had already pronounced the exercise of autho rity by the Church as illegal, his object was to give the greatest extent to the exercise of a discretion on the part of the people to make objections to the presentee, and also the greatest latitude, consistent with the existing laws, to the Church Courts in judging of those objections. The Noble Earl then briefly recapitulated the provisions of his Bill and continued. He had heard something ap proaching to a whisper that in the present measure he had not sufficiently regarded the interests of the people, but he would be glad to know in what manner he could extend the privileges of the people without entirely abro g„ting patronage altogether. It bad been said by Sir Henry Moncrief that it was the part of the people to make objections, and of the Presbytery to judge of them ; and he wished to know what greater power he could give them than to enable them to state every possible objection. It had been stated in the General Assembly, that ayr. Macleod having been appointed to a parish in one of the Western Islands, inhabited by the Macdonald clan, some of whose ancestors had formerly been massacred by the clan of the Macleods, he could not obtain any reception from the parishioners.—( LEiu k v.hter.) Now in such a case the Presbytery might exercise their discretion of removing him from that particular parish. The patrons were the only parties who had the least shadow of pretence for dis content, for the Bill considerably restricted the rights of patronage, and yet patrons had not objected to the Bill. Notwithstanding this, the Bill had been stigmatized in quarters where it was not understood, and where only popular clamour was sought to be excited, as a Bill to exalt the rights of lordly patronage.—(Hear, hear.) The Gene ral Assembly had passed a resolution, in which they claimed for the Church exclusive jurisdiction over the qualifications and conditions of admission to parishes. Now, as to qualifications, they might be right, that is as to personal fitness, &c. ; but as to con ditions, the admission of their claim i.! that respect would be to revive the old Church tyranny against which their Lordships had better make a stand now, and if patronage were to be abolished, let them abolish themselves, and not allow the law to be defied.—(Hear, hear.) lie meant by acting judicially the considering the objections of the people, and the giving to them their due wei g i.t, an d: ee believed this was the interpretation put upon the expres sian by the supporters of the veto themselves, from wh at bad fallen from one of the most able and zealous of that body, who ,regretted that the clause in the Bill, enabling the Presbytery to pay attention to the state of the parish in their decision, had only been introduced into the Bill parenthetically for if it had been introduced absolutely under cover of that clause, they. might have given full street to the desires of the communicants in every case. Now, he did not wish to give thew the power of giving effect to the veto in one way, while they were preventing them from doing so in another. He knew their object was to legalize the veto, and his was to prevent it ; at the same time reserving to the people the greatest possible exercise of their rights. The last resolution complained that they were not sufficiently protected against coercion, when giving effect to their solemn convictions. He had clever intended to protect them. He had no wish to inter fere with Ecclesiastical Courts while they kept within bounds, but he would never preclude the civil power from taking cognizance of acts done in excess by those Courts, and which were unjust, oppressive, and illegal. But he had dwelt too long upon these objections. lie had received intimation that these existed, in quarters for which he was bound to entertain the highest respect. But he believed the greatest objection to the measure was, that it gave too great powers to the Presbytery, although he proposed that no presentee should be rejected, unless the grounds of his disqualification were stated ; and in that part of the mea sure, he had provided a safeguard against any abuse. He had received tee assurance of the most eminent advisers, that the Bill contained nothing at all contrary to the exist ing statutes, by which the Church of Scotland was esta blished. lie requested the attention of the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, and of the Noble and Learned Lord op i poste to this fact—( Hear, hear)—and after what le. had stated on this part of the subject, it was not ne cessary to occupy their Lordships further upon it. The General Assembly had acted in contempt of their Lordship's decision, and had t o a eert • parishes i sh pees certain vacant,, perse vered in that contempt. They did nut, it was true, pro pose to give effect to their fi rst d ecision, v l a c e . ila when rkthe were but they wen;,still s determined entee wa s u unacceptable e e p e t p a i b n l g e t t h o e already left vacant by th at means ; and in addition they had seven unfortunate gentlemen of a Presbytery —(Hear, hear)—they had seven unfortunate gentle men suspended, and their snspension continued; and more, a sentence had becn pronounced, that if, by the month of August neat, they did not retrace the course on which they l;; ( 1 swa e r e d, an d if they did not consent to ciisP.hey tin's law, then the Commission of the Assembly was to take measures against them, and they sabre to he deposed as a matter of course. Now, the only accusation made against these gentlemelas avea by the acknowledg ment of their accusers., was, that they had not disobeyed the law. Aq to tiseir conduct bud their characters, every tiling we s tntwanePti°".. l :ie ; but unfortunately they had - - was no doubt in his mind but the judgment of the House had hitherto been most unwarrantably, most unjustifiably, and most mischievously disregarded; but he would not be the person► to undertake to say, that after the question had been definitively settled by Parliament,, the General As sembly would hot submit to an Act declaring the law. The case appeared to him to be undoubtedly an urgent one, and he should like to know what course the Noble Viscount opposite proposed to pursue with regard to it. The Noble Viscount had lately given him (the Earl of Aberdeen) notice, that he meant to object to the further progress of the Bill. On what grounds he proposed to du so, he (the Earl of Aberdeen) could not conjecture. He would, therefore, request the Noble Viscount not to exercise, on that occasion, his power of following his own judgment en the matter without condescending to assign the reasons which actuated him. Let him, if he pleased, say with the Noble and Learned Lord opposite, (Lord Brougham), that before they introduced a new measure, they should make the existing law be obeyed ; let him say that he did not ap. prove of any thing which had been hitherto done in the case, but let him at all events clearly state his sentiments. —( Hear, hear.) He believed he could partly collect the opinions of the NoLl.; Viscount from a pamphlet which had been published by the advocates of the veto, in which they stated that during au interview which they had with the Noble Viscount, he had said that the Government could not undertake to introduce any measure on the subject, as they could not propose one which would satisfy the House of Lords, and they would therefore postpone taking any steps in the case till a more favourable opportunity might arrive. He (the Earl of Aberdeen) did not, however, see how the Noble Viscount could entertain such apprehena sions as those stated. For his own part, he could assure the Noble Viscount that he had never looked on the question as a party question, and he would be ready to support any measure introduced by the Noble Viscount which might not be inconsistent with the law of the land s and the established constitution of the Church. -.4 Hear:, Lord MELBOURNE did not recollect having use4the words that had been attributed to him. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that ib another portion of the Report of that Committee they mentioned that in their interview with Lord Melbourne, the Noble Lord bad expressed his strong sense of the importance of the ques tion, and his earnest desire to see it settled. He stated, according to them, his own preference of the measure pro.. posed by the Committee—that was the veto.—( Hier.) He (the Earl of Aberdeen) would, however, fairly tell the Noble Vi;count that he did not believe that, because in their trans,:etions with himself they had shown themselves so unserupulous—( Hear, and a laugh)—that he did not mean to say that they had dealt more honestly with the Noble Viscount.—(Laughter.) Lord MELBOURNE The Earl of ABERDEEN continued. Either the Noble Viscount ltd expressed his approbation of the veto, or he had not. If he approved of it, let him say so ; but if he did not approve of it, the Committee which he had referred to had stated that which was not true. The Noble Viscount should do something, far he had de_ Oared that the interference of the Legislature would be necessary on the subject. The Noble Viscount could not intend to continue on that Bench, and to chuckle inwardly —( Hear, hear)—at the confusion and destruction which preva.led in Scotland, and which were sure, if not imme diately put an end to, to become worse ; be could not ex claim " havoc, and spoil, and ruin are my gain." He could not but see the necessity of settling the question in some way. He (the Eall of Aberdeen) tendered a meta sure on the subject, and submitted that measure to their Lordships without the slightest party feeling, or without any other view than to bring those unfortunate disputes to a conclusion. If nothing whatever were done in the mat ter, he wou'd tell the Noble' Viscount that a sch:.stat would take place in the Scottish Church ; for a large body of Ministers would in that case announce their determination not to obey the orders of the General Assembly.—( Hear t hear.) The Noble Earl concluded by proposing the ee. cond reading of the Bill. The Marquis of BRE' ADA LBANE said that in his opinion the Bill of the Noble Earl would prove as unsatis factory to the people of Scotland as to the General As semble. lie could not, therefore, help entreating their Lordships to pause before they consented to proceed fur ther with the measure. He would readily bear his test, moray to the singleness of purpose of the Noble Ear), - end the pu. itv of his intentions—( Hear. hear)—but he .could still say that while the Noble Earl had riven his assent to the principle cf non-intrusion, aid while he admitted the fundamental principles of the Presbyterian Church, there was -in the application of those pr.lnelples a fundamental difference between them. He believed that he differed also with the General Assembly, when the% had ccme to certain resolutions in opposition to the Bill. He was persuaded that unless their Lordships went to the root of the evil, and unless they did that which was really iu ace cordonce with the true principles of the Presbyterian Church, they would only create further dissatisfaction. He would not enter into the law of the ease, but he should certainly say that great evils existed at present in the Scottish Church—evils, however, which had taken their rise in tie zeal and sincerity of the members of that Church, and from their desire to preserve their prine:r_ pies in their integrity, and to do that which would be ac up6ble to the general feelings and opinions of the peoieie of Scotland—namely, to apply the principle of non-intrusion to the induction of ministers in the parishes of that country. The Church of Scotland had certainly involved ' herself in difficulties with the Courts cf Law, but that Church considered the question as a merely spiritual one, and they claimed no jurisdiction except iu spiritual matters. The principles of the Church of Scotland were essentially popular, and its members did not, like those of the Church of England, acknowledge the Crown as their head. To those principles be, at a Presbyterian, could not but we sent. He felt it his duty solemnly to ask their Lordships not to proceed rashly with the important qucst,:ort then under their coasideration, and not tightly to adop t what be considered would be "a heavy 'Glow and a gre a t discourage ment" to the Scottish Chun —( Hear, and st laugh.) By proceeding violently they might have in Scotland a Church established by law, but they would not have a Church estabishrel in the hearts and affections of the people. He could implore their Lordships not to proceed hastily with the measure, without being cognisant of all its details ; and he would, above all, appeal to these holy Lords, sit ting on that (the Episcopal) bench, to aid the clergy of the Scottish Church in their endeavours to maintain what they considered the principles of their faith. The civil power was, they considered, entrenching on their rights; that power might, in the same manner, entrench one dey on the principles of the Right Rev. Prelates near hint. `The Noble Marquis concluded by moving that the Bill should be read a secAmd time or. that day six months. The Earl of ROSEBERY, though not hitnself a me re . her of the Scottish Church, wished to address a few words to their Lordships, on a subject which so deeply concerned that portion of the kingdom to which he pecu lit rly belonged. He was himself e member of the Chutch of England, but he certainly thought that the professors of the Presbyterian creed were as much a branch of the true Church, as that which he belonged,—( Hear, hear.) Some might consider that as a latitudinarian principle, but it was nevertheless one which he sincerely held. Ho (the Earl of Rosebery) claimed for the Church of Scotland full jurisdiction over spiritual matters, and he thought that included what referred to ordination ; and without defending what had been said on one side or the other, he thought the Church of Scotland was right in maintaining what lie considered a fundamental principle, He admitted that the Noble Earl was the most qualified, by many circumstances, to bring forward this measure; but his (the Earl of Rosehery's) delibeeate opinion was, that if the Bill passed, there was not the slightest chance of it answering its ebjects, and inetead of removing doubts it would increase them, The Earl of CA NI PK RDOWN said that he had been much dhpoeed to support the Bill, in the principle of which he could not help concurring, though he could never assent to giving every individual a right to object to the clergyman, and so far from the Bill limiting, it greatly ha creased the powers of church-goers. But his objection to the Bill was this, that it professed to re move doubts i n t h e law. His opinion was, that there were no such doubts existing—that the law had been declared already by the highest authorities—that no rea sonable man could for a moment doubt that after hearing the lucid judgments of Lord Brougham and the Lord Chancellor—that the law was against the Assembly —that the Assembly had already refused to obey the law, and that therefore it could not be expected that they would any more obey a fresh law, and that therefore it could not he right to attempt by new legislation to settle the question until the Assembly had retracted their illegal decision, and in the meantime he trusted to the Courts of Law to maintain their authority. For these reasons be should most reluctantly be compelled to vote for the amendment, and b.! considered that the whole responsibility lay w:tli the Assembly, who had been the first aggrr.:sso rs by an unlawful attack on the ri g h ts o f the nation. ' The Earl of DALHOUSIE hoped that as an honest member of the Church of Scotland, their Lordships would allow him to state his reason for S'apporting the bill of the Noble Earl. It was true the veto law was not the ques tion before the House, but it would have an injurious effect in Scotland t ,le. Qr, ' l ' -- --- eente. answer were made to the state ments of the Noble Marquis on this subject. The Noble Marquis said the Generat Assembly, in acting as they had done, had done no more than their duty. Now he took th.e liberty of stating that this principle of non-intrusion, as it was called, that was of absolute rejection by the people, was not a fundamental principle of the Church ot Scotland.—( Hear, hear.) This he would prove by tire Second Book of Discipline, and he would prove it also by the practice of every Church in Scotland. He w ou ld take the case of Geneva, the mother Church of the Cnurch of Scotland, and give them the authorities of Ca.;viii and Bert on the subject.—( The Noble Earl then rear', some quo- R a n c d f o r prove mere.. ) He would his assertion t t a h t e i l f i m e s o f m r o e m t j t h e o u 'ie r ot . o k ‘:.n of country,these from ttie Bock of Discipline and the words of Knee,—(The Noble Earl then read several passages from the Book of Discipline and the works of Knox, Col_ woo d, and Melville in support of his opini o n.) H e would ask if any man, after them authorities, could doubt what. bad ever been the practice of the Scot c h Ch urc h , or that the Presbytery had not the power of decidi ng upon the 71 ( te li congregationear bear.)

This was just. Nothing more was heard of this question until after the Revolution, when, if they chose, they might have established this principle; but they did no such thing, and had done no such thing up to the present time. The power of absolute rejection bad never been claimed by the people from the earliest ages of the Church of Scotland. The ground on which the Noble Marquis founded his amendment was a fallacious one. He believed that the claim now Set up was most mischievous BRIGHTON. :111 ELLE VUE MANSION HOTEL, 'BY KING'S ROAD, BRIGHTON.
