NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, JULY ?.4. The Dreadnought, seamen's hospital ship, has sprung a leak near her keelson ; and from the great quantity of water admitted, she must be taken into dock to be thoroughly examined and repaired. The Cygnet 6-gun brig, commissioned by Lieut. Ed ward Wilson, when ready for sea, will proceed from Wool %jell to the Cape of Good Hope.

The packet service will in a very short time be exclusively accomplished by steam-vessels. The Opossum, late packet-brig, i s fi tt i ng at Chatham for the quarantine service at Gibraltar.

Harvest has commenced in our vicinity, a field of fine Talavera wheat, at Little Baddow, having yielded to the sickle. Sjme eats near us are also cut, and peas of the earliest sorts are being pretty generally gathered.—Cheltenham , Chronicle THE STIN s LoNPoN . , SATTIRDAY, JULY 25, 1840 a SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS [ PROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (From the Globe.) The "long yarn" of absurdities which Lord San Jon spun in the House of Commons on Wednesday evening which is dignified with the appellation of a speech on the state of the commercial relations of this country with foreign Powers, has afforded the Post an opportunity of displaying a knowledge of the subject scarcely inferior to that cf . his Lordship on the topics he, with so little re gard to his character or discretion, selected for the dis play. This reciprocity of dealing between the Post and Lord Sandon is but the result of the obligations they respectively owe to each other. The Lord rehearses the ournalist, and the journalist praises the Lord ; and re peats its former lucubrations, while referring to the speech originally culled from its own columns. The error of the Noble Lord, and of the journal which is at once his oracle and his eulogist, proceeds from the same monstrous misconception of what is the province of diplomacy in the regulation of commercial in tercourse with foreign independent States. Hence, the burden of his Lordship's speech, the echo of the Post's writing was, that the duties levied upon the produce of foreign States by this country should be in exact pro portion to those levied by them upon our manufactures ; than which, as a general principle, nothing can be imagined more subversive of the advancement of a commercial country, or more destructive of those in terests in behalf of whom it is propounded as a protection. (From the Courier.) We are wearied—and we are sure that we are not alone in our weariness—with those perpetually recurring ques tions respecting the affairs of Ireland, which every Ses sion since the O'Connellite administration came into office, have successfully displaced the consideration of matters of real importance to the empire generally, as well as to its foreign connections. None less than our selves blame the Irish for almost solely occupying public attention. That is quite natural. Every man deems his own business, or, as the commercial world says, his concerns, of the first magnitude and importance—and so they may be to himself ; but why should others tolerate a perpetual bore upon subjects in which they have a very slight degree of interest ? It is seldom allowed in private life ; but during the period which we have indicated, we have heard of little else than demands of justice for Ireland, with no small bye-play of the most numerous and the worst crimes that ever disgraced a Christian country. As we have said, we do not blame the Irish themselves for thrusting for wards their imaginary grievances, whether occasion presents itself or not ; but is there no blame to be at tached to other quarters? Who is it that permits im punity to follow the footsteps of the demagogues who are perpetually labouring to inflame the worst passions of an ignorant and easily excited people ? Who but the very men who incarcerate people guilty of no other crime than that of acting upon their own principles and doctrines, proclaimed both before and after their acces sion to office ? _ (From the Standard.) Sir Robert Inglis, as we have intimated, last night proposed to postpone the third reading of the Farn ham Rectory Bill to Monday. To make such a postponement at his own discretion, and without offering any reason for it, is an indulgence allowed to every proposer of a Bill, and Sir' Robert was the proposer of the Bill in question, by the uniform prac tice of Parliament. Nevertheless, last night, when the Hon. Member for Oxford University made his propo sition, Mr. Aglionby, Capt. Pechell, and Mr. Hume, started up to demand an explanation of his reasons, and indirectly to extract from him a pledge that he would not attempt to rescind the compensation clause ; and upon Sir Robert's refusal to give explanation or pledge, Mr. Hume attempted to defeat the measure altogether, by proposing that the Bill should be read in three months. This indecent fraud, complicated as it was with a violation of Parliamentary usage, was something too outrageous even for a House which Mr. Hume must have considered favourable, or he would not have attempted it. The motion of the Member for Kil kenny, ex-Middlesex, ex-Aberdeen,with we know not how many more exes, so often has be been cashiered, was rejected, and Sir Robert Inglis's proposition agreed to by a maj ority of 92 to 48. The matter was per se the most trifling possible, but important as evincing the animus of the Hume party. Proverbially "busy" as is the being whose work they are indentured to perform, even he cannot be more vigilant and active than bis agents whenever an opportunity of obstructing the ad. vancement of the interests of religion presents itself. We hope that the proper inference from last night's dis play will not be neglected, and that the friends of the Bill will be at their posts on Monday. speculative demand which existed last week ; holders have also been more desirous to realize. To-day there was a better demand for Coffee of all scrts subject to the 61 duty, but that liable to the 9d daty was only in limited request, Government being induced to en. courage the former. The public sales consisted of 1,191 bags Ceylon, 62 casks Jarnaica, 516 bales Mocha, 922 hags Java, and 500 bags Brazil via Cape; Ceylon all sold '.4t former rates, fine ordinary coloury went at 92a to 92s 6d, good 903 to 91s 6d, good ordinary pale 88s 6d to 893 6d, fine 90s 6d to 91s, superior 96s to 995; Triage 373 6d to 675; Jamaica sold steadily at the rates previously established, middling went Pt 119 s to 121 s, low middling 116 s 6d, fine ordinary 106 s to 108 s, good ordinary mixed 87s 6d to 88s; Mocha went rather higher, viz., at 120 s to 123 s for middling yellow clean garbled ; Java was only p art l y so ld 2 s to 3 s un d er f or m er rates; good and fine yellow went at 62s to 655; sea damaged 503 to 583; Brazil was all taken in, low good ordinary palish Rio at 455, sea damaged first and second class 41s to 42s per cwt. TEA. — There has been a good demand by private con tract for both Black and Green Tea this week from the trade, and prices have further improved. The public sales have been well attended, and at which the trade evinced much desire to purchase all descriptions; out of 13,000 packages which have been offered, the large pro portion of 11,600 packages have been disposed of with spirit, and the prices paid showed an advance on those of the last public sale of 2d to 2tl for black, and lid to 2d for preen ; fine descriptions of the latter went much above f.4rmer rates. Some of the large houses were again pur chasers. In the speculative market there was much stir in the early part of the week, and Company's Congou advanced to 2s 3d cash, but yesterday there was less disposition shown to make investments, and prices declined to 2s lid to 2s 2(1 cash. To-day there was not much business doing in Free Trade Tea ; the announcement of 6,500 packages for sale on the 3d of August has caused the trade to come forward less freely ; prices however remain firm ; com mon free trade Congou for cash is not to be purchased under 2s 2d, and Twankay 2s 1 per pound. In Company's Congou there was little passing, sellers at 2s lid cash. The publie Tea Sale at Bristol has gone off well. The Earl of Balcarras and Vansittart are daily expected from China, with 3,000,000 lbs of tea. This afternoon there was no change in prices of Free Trade Tea, but there is little business doing. Company's Congou sells slowly, at 2s 11d cash. COCOA.-For British Plantation there has been less mand : the public sales of 268 barrels and 683 bags have gone off heavily, at a reduction on former rates of is to Is. 6d per cwt. Trinidad good red has sold at 54s to 55s 6d, ordinary to middling 51s to 535, good grey 508 to 51s, Grenada good and fine red 50s to 53s 6d per cwt; the chief part consisted of Trinidad. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-For Leeward Island Rum a good business has been transacted at prices ld above those of this day week for good, and kd for common descriptions ; 270 puns have been disposed of, proofs at 3s ad to 3s Bfd, 3 to 4 per cent overproof 3s 9d to 3s 9id, 6 to 18 over 3s 10d to 4s 6d, 20 to 30 over 4s 9d to 5s 6d, 30 to 40, 5s 7d to 6s. Jamaica has been in brisk re quest, and all the parcels offering have again been cleared off the market, prices have further im proved lid to 2d per gallon; 300 puns have been sold, 26 to 36 per cent overproof at 6s to 6s. 21, 32 to 39 over 6s 3d to 6s Bd, fine and very fine 63 9d to 7s, superior marks high flavour 7s Id to 7s 3d, and the high figure at 7s 8d has been given for an extra fine parcel. East India and Foreign have been sought after, and they are held for higher rates. The arrivals of West India have been 170 puns and hhds since this day week. The purchases made is Brandy have been limited, both for home use and export ; prices, however, have suffered no further depres sion, we quote Cognac, first brands of the vintage of 1836, in hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; ditto 1837, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; ditto 1838, hhds 4s 10s1, puns 4s 8d ; ditto 1839, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d per gallon. For Geneva prices have advanced to 2s a 2s ld for home consumption : sales of fine quality have been made at 2s 4d a 2s 6d per gallon. British Corn Spirits at lOs 2d ; some of the distillers now are not disposed to enter into contracts under lOs 3d to lOs 4d per gallon. To-day the demand was brisk for West India Rum, and prices are on the advance. Plod Leewards are 3s 8d to 3s 81d, and it is difficult to buy under the latter figure. Vu..Low. —Holders of Russian Tallow have refused to submit to lower prices, although the demand on the spot has been very limited from both chandlers and soap-makers, they however have been compelled to pay 52s for P. Y. Candle of first quality, being its former value. For deli very in the last three months merchants have refused to sell under 52s 3d. This afternoon the nearest quotations for Petersburgh Yellow Candle were 51s 9d to 52s on the spot, and 52s for arrival towards the close of the year. the sale ; all good and I NDI fine G O de; e r T i p ° t - i d o a n Y s 6 w 7 e 7 r e chests taken pd d y by the shippers, and the price s p a id were i n some cases equal to those of the April sale; ordinary, mixed imperfect sorts, however, still sell heavily at a reduction on the rates of that period of from 9d to is 6d per lb. ; the home trade yet buy sparingly of all sorts ; 130 chests were bought in to-day by the proprietors. Rim—For Bengal a good demand has existed by pri vate treaty, and rather higher prices have been paid, but an extensive business has been prevented in consequence of the unwillingness of holders:to sell ; at auction, 1,365 bags went briskly, establishing an advance on former rates of 3d to 6d, good middling white realized 14s to I4s 6d. For Java there has been more inquiry, and a good many large parcels have been disposed of privately at 6d advance ; at present rates some parties are not disposed to sell ; none has been offered at auction. Carolina has been in good request by the grocers, who have paid 36s for new, and 34s for old quality ; for export some small parcels have been sold at 21s to 23s per cwt. OILS.—For common descriptions of Fish Oils there has been an increased demand from the home trade this week, and in Seal extensive purchases have been made at an ad vance on former rates of 1.5 s to 20s per tun ; pale has sold 2 c 6 ur t re i n o t s ly , saotut2h7e/rn at t027214110t50, 251 ye for llow middling to rood and brown 25/ to quality ; Cod at 281 Iss to 291; pale Seal for arrival at 261 15? but no sellers under 271 per ttin.

The arrivals since this day week have been only 436 hhds &c., whereas during the same time last year 2020hhds &c. were received ; several vessels however have made their ap pearance off the Coast. The deliveries have begun to fall off, those of last week were not equal to those of last year during the same period, by 223 hhds, &c. The average price is now 57s 3d, in 1839 it was 4('s 20, and in 1838 at the same time 31s Oid per cwt. The accounts from the West Indies state that the import of Sugar will be very short this year ; but that large preparations were making for next season's (rap. To -day the merchants displayed firmness, and refused to sell 'West India excepting at former rates ; indeed, some were not disposed to sell on those terms, but there was less demand, and both grocers and refiners purchased sparingly ; the sales were only 300, making the purchases for the week 2,550 hhds and tierces. Since yesterday morning 17,000 hhds and tierces have arrived. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was less demand, 2,139 bags 27 casks at public sale only partly sold, but former rates were supported, fine brown went at 80s to 80s 6d, low to good yellow 81s to 84; 6d, fine 86s to 87s per cwt. REFINED.—For refined goods for home consumption former rates have been fully supported. Standard lumps at 1093 to 110 s, Hambro loaves good 110 s to 112 s, fine 113; to 116, Tittlers 110 s to 116 s, Patent brown Lumps 106 s to 108 s, for melting 104; to 10.55, and single loaves 1083 to 1093 per cwt. Treacle, common 42s 6d to 433, Patent 43s 6d to 44s Gd, and best old make 45s to 46s per cwt. Pieces at previous rates : fine sorts have been disposed of at 81s to 84s, low and good 763 to 80. Bastards 68; to 755, In Bonded Loaves 38s to 3 8 s 6d paid for 14Ibs, Hambro' 393 to 393 6d for 101bs, and 41 to 42s for 61bs. Bonded Crushed Sugar for delivery at 34s 6d to 34s 9d for first quality. Treacle 15s Gd to 16s per cat. Pieces and Bastards have sold steadily, the former at 233 to 9 8s, and the latter at 19; to 22s per cwt. For Dutch Crushed Sugar 31s 3d has been paid for a cargo of 160 tons at Am sterdam. To-day the price asked for Dutch Crushed Sugar on board at Amsterdam is 31; 6d per cwt. Goods were in fair request by the home trade at former rates. EAST INDIA.—For white sorts of Bengal stiffer prices have been offered. Brown and yellow sorts at former rates. Manilla is held firmly for late rates. For Siam and Java previous rates have been maintained. FOREIGN.—For Brazil former rates aro required. For yellow Havannah prices have further improved 6ti per cwt; on the spot 1,000 boxes have been sold at 25; 6d to 263, besides a floating cargo of 2,300 boxes to be delivered at this port at 253 ; at auction 490 boxes were taken in above the value, viz. at 26; to 27s for low to good quality. White at 34s to 35; for middling greyish dry duality, being late prices. CoFeez.-- + -Ther:,‘ has been a considerable falling oil' i„ the demand for British plantation Coffee this week, and prices have given way 3; or 4s per cwt. The sudden turn which the market has taken is to be attributed to doubts being entertained whether the proposed reduction in the duty of Id per lb will actually take place ; it cawed the home trade to buy with caution, and has put a stop to at GERMANY. BAD EM3, Juts 12.—The beautiful scenery of this de. lightful watering-place is this year enlivened by a more numerous assemblage of distinguished guests than usual. The beauties of the party are the Princess Mary of Hesse, bride of the Russian heir -apparent, tire Grand Duchess Olga, and the Princess Matilda of Hesse ; and a lovelier group than these ladies form, when assembled, cannot easily be imagined. The Empress bears in her counte nance marks of care, and her almost restless activity seems to bespeak a mind not quite at case. In walking or riding (donkeys are much in favour with the Imperial party), she is always some paces before the rest of the group, who seem to have difficulty in following her hurried pace. The whole company is in constant motion. In the morn ing early the waters are drunk, and a ride, on don keys generally, follows ad early breakfast; the dinner hour is an early one, after which a drive in the lovely valley of the Lahu, towards Coblentz, or up the stream towards Nassau, occupies the evening, which is closed by a re union in the apartments of her Majesty, which seldom in cludes more than the suites of the Royal personages. The Empress is exceedingly fond of dress, and exacts consi derable sacrifices to the graces of the toilette from her attendants. Every meeting throughout the day must be in its appropriate costumes, and all the materials must come from Paris or front London. This fancy harmonizes, per haps, with the apparently inexhaustible purses of the Ras sian courtiers, but I believe is less suited to the more limited incomes of their visitors from other parts. Bound less indeed ought to be the Russian revenues, for none of them seems to know what it is to refuse themselves the gratification of a wish. The dearest articles of fancy, the hig'nest play, the most munificent remuneration of services, are all calculated to dazzle the vulgar with the idea of imperial magnificence. We poor English hide our diminished heads, and our care-taking couriers find their consequence in no small degree lowered, when they coma into contact with the purse-bearers of northern Courts. Talents of all kinds, from all lands, flock into this happy valley. France sent Herz, and Austria Thal berg ; England a characteristic representative in a mem ber of the house of Storr and Mortimer, whose diamond necklace did, as we are informed, excite admiration and longing in the fair breasts of sonic whose collections are famous. Amongst the Russian Nobles now staying at Ems, Count Woronzow is the most considered, not merely on account of his immense wealth, but from his personal estimable qualities, which make it matter of regret that he should not be more actively employed for the advantage of his country. About the marriage of the Grand Duchess Olga nothing has as yet transpired. The Duke of Nassau is assiduous in bis hospitality to the imp er i a l g uests; but it is n o t un likely that a suitor i o n f royal rank would be the most acceptable to the northern visited The Pri nce once speculated upon has not yet Ems. Th e G ran d Duke Alexander has left for Petersburgh Dusseldorf. COURSE OF EXCHA Amsterdam ......0 F 12 5 Ditto, at sight Rotterdam 2U. 12 5 i Antwerp ....... ....... 12 5 Hamburg... ......

E2: A ENT Clo)ne, and three sons of the Rev. Mr, Welland, of Clovne. - Cork Standar The convict ship with Frost, Jones, and Wil liam* on board reached Simon's Bay, Cape, May 4, THE REGENCY BILL. On the reading of the Order for the third reading of this Bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the insertion of a clause for imposing upo❑ the Regent the same re strictions in respect to marriage, as were imposed upon the Sovereign by the Bill of Rights. The clause was agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord DUNCANNON moved the second reading of the Caledonian Canal Bill. After a few words from the Earl of H ADDING TON in support of the Bill, The Earl of RIPON said that care should be taken to secure that the Joint Stock Company should repair effectually the canal, which was in a state of great dila pidation. The Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON the East India Relief Bill was read a second time. Tile Prisons (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the county of Chester, against the Weaver Navigation Bill. Also petitions from sundry rational religionists, praying for inquiry into the truth of their doctrines. Also a petition signed by upwards of 2,000 persons, : - ,f the borough of Leeds, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. POOR-LAW. On the motion of the Marquis of NORMANBY, the Poor-law Commissioners Continuance Bill was read a second time. IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. Lord DUNCANNON moved that the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, which stood for Monday; should be dis charged, and the third reading fixed for Friday next. The order was discharged accordingly. Several Bills on the table were then advanced a stage without discussion. ECCLESIASTICAL - DUTIES AND REVE- NUES BILL. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from the Minor Canons of St. Peter's, Westminster, in fa vour of the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill. The Bishop of ROCHESTER presented a petition against the Bill from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Essex. The Bishop of WINCHESTER moved the Order of the Day for hearing Counsel against the Ecclesiasti cal Duties and Revenues Bill. Mr. JAMES HOPE then ,appeared at the bar, and said, the speech of his Learned Friend on the previous evening would preclude the necessity of his addres sing their Lordships at great length. He objected to the constitution of the Commission on ecclesiastical grounds. He hoped their Lordships, whose an cestors had so successfully protected the Church against the attacks of a corrupt and ambitions hierarchy, would also defend it from the like attacks from whatso ever quarters they might come. The Learned Coun sel then adverted to the doctrines of Blackstone, of a great German canoeist, and other authorities, to prove the great variety of opinions respecting Church pro perty. He begged their Lordships to put aside the dogrnatisms of philosophers, politicians, and divines, and to treat this question as one relating to rights which the Constitution had never discarded, and according to law. The Learned Gentleman then entered upon an historical survey of instances in which the State had in terfered with Church property, and asserted that they could not be taken as precedents. He adverted to the abolition of the order of the Knights Templars and Hos. pitallers, and to the abolition of the monasteries at the Reformation—of colleges and chantries in the time of Edward the Sixth, and to an Aat of Elizabeth for the suppression of certain religious foundations ; all of which he asserted took place on account of the malpractices and abuse of trust committed by those corporations, and were, therefore, not to be drawn into precedent on the present occasion. There had been, however, one Act similar to the present. introduced in the sixteenth cen tury, but it had been opposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury of that day and many eminent statesmen, and for many reasons (which the Learned Counsel ad duced) he contended that neither this nor any subsequent Act should be drawn into precedent. in support of this measure. The only ground for the measure, then, must be the surrender of the bodies themselves. Had these surrendered, he had not been addressing their Lordships. They had not surrendered, and they conceived that nothing could justify them in doing so, or in not resisting this measure to the utter most. The whole current of legislation precedent being against the Bill, by what was it supported ? They must resort to the floating opinion of the day, that it was justified on the ground of being corporate or Church property. In the case of corporations he did not deny the right of the State occasionally to interfere. In soma eases it was their duty`to do so. The property of the corporations of vicars choral and minor canons, by some were called Church property. He denied that fact, for much of that property was appropriations, and did not. belong to the spiritualities of the corporations. In seizing upon that property, the Ecclesiastical Com missioners had very far exceeded the powers vested in them by the common law. The property never was given or granted to the Church at large, they were grants to the particular bodies, and they alone had the power to alienate them. He knew that be would be told that these were but technical difficulties, that all the property had been applied to ecclesiastical purposes, and therefore must give way to the general purposes of the Church. But if their Lordships passed such a Bill, they would affirm a principle of the most pernicious tendency. He admitted the ecclesiastical power over these corporations, they were visitors of such institu tions ; but did that give them any power to sanction such a Bill as that before the House ? Upon the same principle the Court of Chancery might seize upon and divert all charities in the kingdom. Until their Lord ships were prepared to say that the guards and at tendants of the Sovereign were unnecessary, and that in private life they would banish every superfluity and ornament, and introduce a republican simplicity--then, and not till then, would be the time to come into the temple of God and say that there was more in it than was sufficient for his service. But it would be said that, after all, was this property to be devoted to general ecclesiastical purposes. He knew no greater distinc tion than between general and particular purposes of foundation. It was necessary to distinguish between the right of the public in the endowment, and the private right of the founder to model the object of his charity, as he should think proper. It was said the founders of these institutions were pious and wise men, who un derstood the policy of their own time, but that the times were changed, that the usages of past times had failed, and therefore it was the duty of the Legislature to promote the objects of the founder, but effecting his objects by other and more suitable means. The effect of this argument would be to say that our Cathedral institutions were utterly useless, or so useless as amounted to a surrender of their original trust. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to en large on the utility of these establishments in promoting divine worship, skill in religious controversy, and edu cation, and maintained, with reference to the latter, that if the Bill was carried, it would so cripple the Church as to render it impossible to carry the system of training schools into effect, and that this was not a time in which, consistently with public opinion or their Lordships' principles, education could be neglected. And lastly, he urged their utility as charita ble institutions, one of the objects of which was the distribution of alms. The Learned Gentleman con cluded by saying he had now shown that there was no precedent for this measure, and not only so, but no prin ciple of corporate property, which authorised the provi sions of the Bill, and that these bodies rested their claims to these endowments on the same principles as all the charitable and scientific institutions of the country. He had shown what those principles were, and what vio lations of them bad taken place. He bad brought before their Lordships the decision of a republican tribunal. He had shown tat the pretence of the uses having failed was altogether frivolous, and he submitted that he had shown such a case against the Bill, that their Lordships could not consistently and justly give it their sanction. It was strange that he should have to quote at the bar of the British House of Peers, and in opposition to the recommendation of a Royal Commission, the dicta of a Republican Judge ; but he had done so, sand by that decision condemned their Lordships of a breach of national faith, if they disturbed these foundations. If that faith had been pledged to a Foreign Power, it would have been kept, for it had its armies to enforce it. flit had been pledged to the public creditor it would have been kept, fsr there was the apprehension of in testine commotion to enforce it ; but these men bad now gone to their rest, and could neither complain nor threaten—from them there was nothing to hope or to fear, and therefore with them it was said they need not keep faith. It was not with reference to the past only they were acting, but also to : the future. They were settin g p r e c edents by this 's Bill. They were telli ng the fieople of this country that they might spend their property in luxury and extrava gance—they might tie it up, that their descendants might make a like use o f it—but if they dared to be unselfish, if they proposed to offer anything to the majesty of Al m i g hty G o d, their intentions would be scattered to the winds ; that their most defined pur poses would be so geaeralised, that they would not themselves recognise them, and that those founda tions they had designed to be memorials of their love to God and man should have no earlier origin than the last Act of Parliament, which had been re-con structed on no history but the wants, the wishes, and the prejudices of the Parliament that had concurred in that re-construction. This precedent, moreover, would not affect this country alone, but the whole of that vast empire of which this island was but the nucleus. And what did they demand ? A sum of about 130,000/. a year. This was to be the bribe for which national faith was to be forfeited. Their Lord ships knew the boldness with which we scanned the acts of those who had preceded us, andwhat did they think posterity would say of them when it said that the most wealthy country, in one of its most prosperous periods, acknowledged the existence of spi ritual destitution, and then turned to the endowments of a more pious and poorer generation in order to supply the want ? What would they say, but that we were a strange mixture of professing religion and real selfishness, and that we boasted of making sacrifices which cost us nothing. If they said so, he for one could not gainsay them, but he hoped their Lordships would leave for posterity no other matter of criticism but this—that such a measure as this was devised in troubled times by very pious, zealous, and charitable men, but that, when it was submitted to their Lordships, they bad thought it unjust to sanction it. Their Lordships, however, had stood by institutions of the country in dangerous and troubled times, and he trusted they would stand by them still, and as they would not allow those venerable institutions to be overthrown by open enemies, so ha trusted they would guard them equally from the inju rious measures of their mistaken friends. The Learned Gentleman having concluded his very able and eloquent speech, the second reading of the Bill was fixed (as we understood) for Monday, and their Lordships adjourned until that day at Half-past Eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 24. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock. The Earl of Scarborough's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed on the motion of Mr. LOWTHER. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. LAW HODGES the Lon don and Greenwich Railway Enlargement Station Bill was read a third time and passed. Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented a petition from the High Sheriffs of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Monmouthshire, and several Justices of the Peace, on the subject of criminal jurisprudence, complaining of the inconvenience of calling on a prisoner to plead guilty or not guilty, and praying that the law might be altered in that respect. Mr. 'IrHORNELY presented a petition from Liver pool, praying for a reduction of the duty on East India coffee. Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER presented a peti tion from two landowners residing in Brixham, Deron, against the Stock in Trade Bill. - Lord STANLEY presented a petition from eighty nine psrsons in the Union of New Ross, complaining of intimidation, violence, and forgery of voting papers, at the late election of Guardians in that Union. Theye tition particularly complained of the conduct of the priests of the Catholic faith at that election ; they in timidated their parishioners, and had even gone the length of assaulting some of them, for showing trifling independence. He would only call the at tention of his Noble Friend to the facts stated in the petition—if they could be proved such gross conduct upon the part of clergymen and others ought not to pass unpunished. Lord MORPETH entirely concurred with his Noble Friend in his description of the facts contained in the petition, and if they could be sustained, he agreed with him that the parties ought to be punished. No thing could have a worse tendency than such language as was attributed to Rev. Gentlemen, falling from lips which ought to utter nothing but the truths of re ligion and peace, and nothing could so damage the New Poor-law in its working as to have such scenes in connection with it as those complained of. There had been many conflicting statements in connec tion with the election at New Ross, and had the Hon. Members for Wexford been in their places, he had no doubt they would have made some complaints of un provoked violence upon the part of the agents of the opposing party. The Poor-law Commissioners had in stituted inquiries upon the subject, and they had found it necessary to annul the election of several of the guardians, and to cause new elections to take place ; and the Government had afforded, in a very large degree, the assistance of both the Police force and the Military, in order to uphold the authorities and preserve the peace. However unbecoming the language attributed to a Rev. Gentleman might be, he hardly thought it came within any law so as to be punished. But ho could assure the House, that if any breach of the law could be proved, whether it wore committed by priest or layman—whether by agitator or landlord, the Government would be most anxious and willing to afford its utmost co-operation and support to bring them to justice. . _ _ Lord STANLEY said he believed an indictment had been preferred against the Rev. Rickard, but as he was informed, the Crown Counsel refused to offer any evidence against him. Mr. W. ROCHE hoped the allegations of the peti tion would be most rigidly inquired into. Mr. SHEIL said the object of the petition was easily seen from the language it opened with, Lord MORPETH would certainly feel it his duty to inquire into the matter. The petition was then laid on the table. Lord . ASHLEY presented a petition, praying for a repeal of the duty on fire insurances, and of the stamp duty on policies in all cases where the property insured did not exceed .50/. Lord HOTHAM presented a petition from the me dical practitioners of the Queen's County, praying for remuneration for attending at inquests. Mr. E. TENNENT presented a petition from the medical practitioners of Antrim to the same effect. Mr. KEMBLE presented petitions from St. Mary, Newington, against Poor-law Unions, and arzainst cer tain clauses in the Parochial Assessments Bill. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition from the watermen of the Thames plying between London-bridge and Vauxhall, against the proposed embankment of the River Thames. FARNHAM RECTORY. Sir ROBERT INGLIS moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Farnham Rectory Bill, fur the purpose of having it discharged. The Order was then read and discharged. The Right HON. BARONET said perhaps he might new be indulged in stating that he had yesterday de clined giving an answer publicly to that question which had been put to him, because he did not think that any Hen. Member had a right to put the question, having previously stated that he did not intend to move the same question on which he had been defeated before. He had stated privately to a Noble Lord his motive for postponing the third reading, and would have done so to any Hon. Member who asked him. EDUCATION (SCOTLAND.) Mr. GILLON gave notice that early next session he should move for a Committee to inquire into the sys tem of education in Scotland, and also to submit a motion on the propriety of aftprding some assistance to Mecha nics' Institutions. Sir R. H. INGLIS gave notice that on Monday next he should put a question to the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, respecting idolatry in India. Sir J. GRAHAM brought up the report of the Blenheim Palace Improvement Bill, which was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed, and the Report of the Com mittee on the Turnpike Acts Continuance (Ireland) Bill was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. _ The Report of the Church Temporalities (Ireland) Bill was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. On the motion of Dr. NICHOLL the Church Dis cipline Bill was ordered to be committed to-morrow. JOINT-STOCK BANKING COMPANIES' BILL. On the Order of the Day being moved for going into Committee on the Joint-stock Banking Companies' Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that it should be an instruction to the Committee to give joint-stock banking Companies in England the power which they possessed in Ireland, of prosecuting any of their own members who might become defaulters. Agreed to. The Bill then went through Committee, and was or dered to be read a third time on Monday next. COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, having moved the third reading of the Commerce and Navigation Bill, Colonel WOOD expressed his desire that the Metro politan Police Courts Bill should first come under the consideration of the House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not intend to move that Bill at present. Colonel WOOD—Will the Noble Lord consent to bring the it andßill on wille at an early epro sheonutrdu during the d when rn it is proposed n t o discuss ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to assent. The Commerce and Navigation Bill was then read a third time, and passed. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL. On the motion that the Order of the Day for the House going into Committee of Supply be read, Sir E. SUGDEN said he wished to task the Noble Lord when it was proposed to bring forward the Admi nistration of Justice Bill. The Bill proposed to esta blish five Courts of Equity. It had been brought down from the other House at a very late period of the Ses sion. It was a matter requiring the very gravest con sideration. The Noble Lord bad taken precedence for other matters, which were not at all to be compared in importance with that Bill ; and if this Bill were not brought forward at a Pr . oPer, time, he should ce rt a i n l y ma k e use a that constitutv: imi right, which h e h a d never yet exerc i se d, P.. , further progr ess . o ppose its Lord J. RUSSELL said man seemed to forget • t h e Right Hon. Gentle _ :nat the Court of Exchequer was at prent • r . - t of Equity. It was true that the EVENING EDI T 1 Bill propcsed to establish two additional Courts ci Equity. With regard to the Bill taking precedence of other measures, there were many measures now before the House which had not yet been before the Lords, and he thought it more convenient for the despatch of public business, that those measures which had to i.ro seat up to the House of Lords should be disposed of. before those which had been sent down from that House. As the Right Hon. Gentleman, however, wished to have a day fixed for the discussion, he would propose to take the Bill on Thursday next. Sir E. SUGDEN objected to that arrangement, and should certainly take every constitutional means in his power to oppose a measure which had been brought forward so late in the Session. FISHERIES. Mr. D.k . RB Y wished to the Noble Lord' the Secretary for Foreign Affairs if any understanding had been come to with the French Government w ith re gard to the regulations to he adopted for the fisheries. Lord PALMERSTON said the regulations of the Order in Council did not extend to within three wiles of the coast either way, as within that distance of the coast the fishermen were subject to the regulations of the respective countries. The regulations referred to the open sea without distance, which was in fact the highway of ail nations. A Commissioner had been appointed by the French Government and another by the English Government to draw up regulations for the guidance of the fishermen of the respective nations, who should meet in the open sea, and it was to carry these regulations into effect that the present Act was required. These regulations could not, of course, receive the sanc tion of the law in France until the meeting of the French Chambers. THE REV. DR. M'GILL. Mr. GOULBURN then rose for the purpose of putting the question of which he had given notice yes terday, .with respect to the non-payment of one of the Queen's chaplains. During the time he had the ho nour of being Secretary of State fo7 the Home De partment he had submitted the name of Dr. M'Gill to her Majesty, and he had received the appointment of one of her Majesty's chaplains in Scotland, and was also appointed to the Chapel Royal—latterly it had come to his knowledge that the Treasury had refused to pay his salary, and upon Dr. M'Gill applying to him, he addressed a letter to the First Lord of the Treasury, pointing out to him the circumstances under which the appointment took place, stack's , the fact of th e re fusel to pay the salary, and ' ' expressing a hope that the Noble Lord would take the subject into his consideration ; for some reason, however, no answer had been returned to that letter, and he (Mr, Goul burn) supposing that there might be some irregularity in the appointment, applied to the Home -office to as certain the fact, and he was informed that there was no informality in the appointment. From that hour to the present, he had remained utterly ignorant of the grounds on which the Treasury had thought fit to refuse the pay ment of the salary. Under these circumstancesconsidering himself bound in honour to see that this appointment was carried into effect conformably with the intentions of his late Majesty, he felt bound to call upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to explain how it had I happened that the payment of the salary attached to the office had been refused. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was obliged to the Right Hon. Gentlemen for having put the question. The case stood thus :—Subsequent to the recommendation of the Civil List Comniiteee, a discussion took place hi that House, as he understood, in which it was stated that it was the intention of the Government, in making any future appointment ' that no salary should be giv en .—( H ear. ) I n accordance with that declaration the Treasury have ever since de clined making any issue for the payment of Dr. M‘Giii's salary. The appointment was unaccompanied with any duties, and consequently no salary had been given to Dr. M'Gill. Those were the grounds on which the salary bad been refused, and not on the ground of any personal objection to the Reverend Geri , tleman. Mr. GOULBURN really could not consider the answer a satisfactory one.—( Hear, hear.) Dr. M‘G ill was a man against whom nobody could say one word. Notwithstanding a Committee of the House had dis tinctly stated that the Queen's Chaplains in Scotland ought to have a salary attached to their offices, yet a debate in that House was to be set against the warrant of the Commission, and the recommendation of that Committee, and the uniform practice in the case of every other chaplain. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ap prehended the appointment took place subsequent to the sitting of the Sinecure Committee. The discussion to which he had alluded took place before Dr. M'Gill was appointed, and the understanding was, that in the case of any future appointment no salary should be allowed, Mr. GOULBURN—No notice of that was given to Dr. M'Gill. Mr. R. STEU ART happened to be in office at the time this question was discussed, and his recollection of it was this :—Very shortly after coming into office, the question was raised as to the salaries of the chaplains in Scotland, there being at that time four vacancies. The warrant appointing Dr. had been sent to the Treasury, and application had been made for the salary, but that had been done previous to the Right lion. Gentleman opposite leaving his situation as Fir s t Lord of the Treasury ; and the question was then raised whether the salary of 501. a year should issue to Dr. M'Gill. There was a distinct understanding that this was one of the offices which was not to receive r. ny salary. That was the real state of the case. The "warrant issued from the Home-office then did not carry any salary, Sir R. PEEL was in office where the appointment of the Rev. Gentleman was made, and he did think that, after the recommendation of the Civil List Com mittee, that Rev. Gentleman had every thing on his side. He had the favour of his Majesty and the re commendation of a Committee of the House of Com mons, and considering that the appointment was one made by a deceased Monarch, he thought it was bad taste to refuse the salary. Mr. 11U ME had taken some trouble in this matter, having written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, reminding him that the Sinecure Committee had de cided that no salary should be attached to this office. He thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer deserved the thanks of this House and the country for his con duct in this matter. Mr. GOULBURN said the Civil List Committee for Scotland had recommended that the Salary for this office should continue to be paid. CASE OF JOHN THOROGOOD. Mr. T. DU NCOM BE said he now rose to call the attention of the House to the case of John Thorogood, and his object was to move " That an humble Address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to take into her Majesty's merciful consideration the case of Mr. John Thorogood, a Pro testant Dissenter, confined in her Majesty's county gaol of Essex, since January 16, 1839, for neglecting to appear in the Consistorial C our t o f the Bishop of London for the non-payment of ss. Gd. Church rate, with a view to his release." The House had, in July last, passed a resolution distinctly pledging themselves to bring forward some mea sure to prevent the recurrence of a like violence being offered to the conscientious scruples of Protestant Dis senters. He (Mr. Duncombe) had introduced a Bill to carry that resolution into effect, but it had been ob jected to by many Hon. Members, who had stated, that although they objected to the Bill, they would sup port a motion for an address to the Crown for the release of John Thorogood.—(Hear.) He believed he was now affording those Hon. Members an opportunity of carrying their wishes into effect. He believed that within the last 150 years there was no instance of such violence being used towards any unfortunate individual. Let him ask what was the charge against John Thorne good ? He was confined for what was called a (eon tempt of the Consistorial Court of the Bishop of Lon- I don, when cited for the non-payment of ss. Gd. for Church -rates. But after all it was not an I actual contempt of Court, but merely what was called a constructive contempt. He had not insulted the Judges or the Court, but he merely had not appeared be fore the Court, and he would say that there had been no necessity on the part of the Court or the Bishop of London, or the cburchwardens, or the rectors to take the cruel and vindictive course which they had pursued towards the individual in question. At present, however, there was no means of effecting his liberation, except through the merciful interposition of the Crown, and he contended that the Crown had the right to use that interposition. The present law relating to chure.'nes had been in existence in the time of the Fetuarts, and yet in the year 1671 an Act , :eat passed by the Crown declaring that by its ienerent power, all penal laws in ecclesiastical matters should be suspended.—( Hear hear.) The consequence was, that several parties who were in confinement for the non-payment of tithes, and among them four hundred Quakers, were liberated from prison. —(Hear.) The Hon. Member then referred to the statement of Whitehead, who visited the gaol for the purpose of re leasing those prisoners. The Magistrates upon that occasion did all they could, as in the 'case of J o h n Thorogood, to prevent the liberation of the ecclesi astical victims. In the next reign an order was issu e d by the Secretary of State, Lord Sunderland, directing that all g oods should be restored to the Disse n t ers which had been seized upon—(according to the words of Lord Sunderland's letter)—" on account of religious opinions."—( Hear, hear, hear.) Now, since those days the ground had been cut away from; un der those who maintained that the C rown h ad no vid of the o g t i ve i e this matter, matter, unless, i n d ee d , they could show thathasbeen, since th a t time, d eo . A prerogative the Crown C prerogative, and that. the Queen had c eased to be the head of the Clne'rch.—(Hear, hear.) The question was w l 7.'etlier John Thorogood r / as a nxt Object forproper t !..le interference of thi s House., H e (M e ""e'tended that he was.

Tyrrell) might laugh when be (Mr. Dun combe) said that Thorogood was an amiable, kind, and humane man. It was always the way
