Tiicre might be sonic ditner in the plan, but in no other was there safety. Mr. HUSIE would vcae for going into Committee, though the Bill did not give the popular branch of the Constitution all the power it ought to have. Mr. COLQUHOUN quoted Lord SEATON to show that in Lower Canada responsible Government was the catch-wcrd of every rebel. He was for continuing Upper Cana la as at present, and for governing Lower Canada on the despotic plan, till the p, ople had been improved by education, alias converted from Po pery to the kindred creed of the Anzliean Church, and then he would give them good g,ov• rnment. Lord HOIVICZ advocated the Bill in a sensible speech, re.qt.ommenuing obedience to the wishes of the Canadians, and forgetfulness of past events. Mr. O'CoNNELL protested against the Bill, and declared that the country had not yet recovered from the insiirrection into which it had been plunged by the !oily of Sir F. HEAD. Lord J. RUSSELL defended the Bill at some length, and assailed his friend Mr. HUME and his opponent Mr. PA KINGTON. Mr. PAKINGTON, finding the sense of the House a7.ainst him, declined to press his amerchnent to a divi sion, and the House then went into a Committee. In Committee most of the clauses were agreed to without much discussion. On clause 4, Mr. C. LUSHINGTON proposed that no sp'ritual person should be summoned to the Lewis. lathe Council of Canada. The Hon. Member found in the recent conduct of Bishop PHILLPorTs and other ecclesiastical inci•mtiaries, sem , excellent arguments to support 11. s propositions, though, as we do not like disqualifications of any Lind, we doubt its propriety. The cure for ecclesiastical arrogance must be sought to the enlightenment of the people. Mr. LosHlNGTois's amentlawnt was opposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and lost by 83 to 29. On clause 27, the qualification clause. Mr. HUMS moved th , it it oe omitted, hut his amendment was log by 94 to 27, and the blank of the clause filled up with 5001. On toe 37th clause, providing a Civil List. Mr. HUME movrd as an amendment that the sum be reduced from 45,0001. to 43,0001., but the larger sum wus car ried against him by SS to 14. Such provisions in a Bill savour of minute legislation. The Civil List ought to be provided by and set tied by the Canadian Legislature. The Governor being appointed by the Government at home should be paid by the people at home, and as highly as the people at home choose to allow. At least we know no other criterion for Governors' salaries. They are always all that can be got. Toe Bill went through the Commit tee, and the Report was ordered in be roxivai on Tuesday next. No other business of importance teas transacted, though si.veral Bids were forwarded. The House atijeurricel before all the business was gone through, in consequence of the want of Members to constitute a quorum. It is impossible for any man to say that the pre• sent condition of England is satisfactory. Tie authority of prescription in matters of Government is destroyed, and reason has not yet obtained the power which prescription possessed. Old institu tions were necessarily abrogated, because they were worn out ; they tumbled, in fact, to pieces ; and new ones, whatever may be their merits, have not given satisfaction. The bulk of the people are immersed in poverty, and alienated in heart and soul from our once praised, admired, or even re vered Constitution. Tire clergy teach them not, and the aristocracy do not govern them. They will not listen to the former, who speak what has no affinity to their wants or their hopes ; and they will not honour the latter, who, having once been the trusted leaders of the people in war and peace, have dwindled into mere extortioners of their sub stance by means of she chicanery of laws. Nor has this condition been either foreseen or provided for by the Legislature, whether directed by Whig or Tory statesmen. It has endeavoured, but how vain every day proves, to meet and conquer some petty evils as they arose, by importing a police from France, and by endeavouring to revive a sort of Papal priesthood. In small matters, as in great, we see reason to doubt the foresight and sagacity • of the Legislature ; and the same ruling and all regulating body which could neither foresee nor pro vide for the present condition of England, has been equally at fault in regulating gaols and workhouses, hich may be supposed to be completely under its control. In all these circumstances, and we might mul tiply them very much in detail if it were desirable, we see nothing to warrant the Legislature in ex tending its ambition, and essaying to govern a con tinent on the other side of the globe. We are not insensible to the necessity which its predeces sors bequeathed to it to exercise some power over our distant colonies ; but the general fact in its own history we have just adverted to, as well as the circumstance that all co lonies differ in many essential points from the mother country, should make it exercise that power with the utmost moderation and forbearance. Our Legislature, for example, consists wholly of persons bred up amidst all the blandishments, con veniences, and luxuries of an old society. They are members of a densely peopled country. Be cause it is crowded, the colonists leave it, and seek out new homes in the wilderness. The occupa tions, habits, thouehts, wishes, and even desires and passions of may, in a densely peopled country like England, are different from those of men in a newly planted and almost untenanted country. The same principle, properly understood and pro perly carried out, which would make the Legislature refrain from instituting a police like that o f London for the woods of Canada, should induce it to legis late for that colony as little as possible, and that little should always be based on the consideration of what is to be the ultimate relation of the colony and the mother country. There is no reason why one set of people so dif ferently circumstanced as the inhabitants of a country very thinly and lately peopled, and those of a country very thickly and very early inhabited, should submit to the same laws and regulations. We may infer, therefore, that all colonies must, in process of time, become politically independent of the m ether country. Some peculiar circumstances ; li'ee slavery in the West Indian Islands, may preserve the connection for a lengthened period, but separa- TIU GREAT WIZARD OF THE :NORTH, MR. J. IT.

Petitions were preserved last ifght, in the Com mons, for the importati:m of foreign fruit, and for an increased duty on that importation—for the release, or for the milder treatment, of Mr. O'CoNson—against the French convention relative to fishing—and a variety of other subjects, on which our united and harmonious people, who are said ail to have one common interest, obstinately persist in taking coufi sting views. Sir T. FREMANTLE moved for new writs for Radnor, in place of Mr. DE WILTON, deceased ; and for Sud bury, in room of Si: J. WAnsfr, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. In answer to Mr. GLADSTONE, Lord J. RUSSELL said he must wait till he heard from the Governor of Guiana, before he laid on the table the despatch rela tive to the Civil List which has been published in the colony, and republished in London. In reply to Mr. FECTOR, Lord PALMERSTON stated that Dr.BOWRING . S Report on Egypt had been returned to him to superintend the printing ; bathe had struck out some passages containing political speculations, as the Doctor must publish them at his own expense, not at the expense of the public. In reply to Mr. C. BRU C E, L or d P ALMERSTON said that 'difficulties had arisen which prevented the English at Naples from building a church there ; but he hoped that some arrangement would be come to. It is not enough, according to the Chuce'atnen, that we maintain the Church at home ; we must also, if neces sary, speak sharply to other countries to make them countenance it.

This is the r.:mitiv I think tlicb• st the S ate could do would be to confer the temporalities in combination with the exercise of all the powers which to the Church might seem good." None hut a Churchman could have mustered courage to make the outrageous proposition. ‘Vcre such a I). o i granted, the people of S. otland would be sub jected to a reign of tyranny more galling and insuf ferable than any yet known in the history of the lriman race. The apostle of discord concluded by moving four long resolutions, with a preamble in proportion, the substance of which is, that— the Assembly should continue to maintain the ex chisivL. jinistlietion of the Church in all spiritual matters ; anti unit as Lord ABERDEEN'S I3iil does not make athquate provision for such juti..diction, anti also that it is inconsistent whit the principles of thoir Church, that, therefore, the Assembly should not acquiesce in the Bill, and ti:at the Church should use every (iron to prevent its obtaining the sanction of the Legislature. Sir GEORGE CLERK,iII a mild and conciliatory • speech, opposed the. resolutions, and after many lung harangues, the debate was adjourrif.d at inTti night till eleven o'clock next day (Thursday ). The result cannot be doubtful. The resolutions will be earned. Lord ABERDEEN will be mortified at the rejection of his specific, and Lord MELBoUitNE will rejoice that he left the wild men and the Tories to settle the question between them. Now, in fact, these points con,titute the ieeedieg faults which the Liberals filo! sith Lord Joi-iK RUSSELL'S measure, and these restraints on liberty, will, as soon as ever the victorious party become quite confident of !heti- strength, render the Con stitution wholly unfitted for the provinces. It will he, however, by maintainini , these restraints, by preserving an arbitrary Legislative Council, no minated by the Governor, by refusing to neike the Governor in any manner tespons:ble to the people, by continuing a strict limitation on the number of representatives, and restrictions on the franchise, that the Goverment at home will endeavour to sus min the union. It will then he based on misgo vernment, and not be preserved one day aftet the colonists find that to ha insupp , rtable. Theme will grow out of this system a separation by force atid anger, instead of a gradual separation, in peace and kindness, sundering the political, but pre serving the social and trade relations, which are all that are really valuable to both. A mother country is no more justified in attempting to keep a colony Llways in a state of pupilage than a parent is justified in attempting to control his off spring after they have reaehedinanhood. Nature, wilier is another name lot true wisdom, requires in troth cases that the authority should be relaxed as the offspring is able to provide for itself; and when the man or Ole colony can, as it were, get its own living, it should be considered an independent being, entitled, filet: the pre. existing parent, to the honour, advantages, and responsebilav of self-government. We arc afraid that the principles of Lord J. it us SELL's Bill, which we have above indicated, are adverse to this conclusiun,and ate expressly intended to prevent a separation. On the whole, though the union of the Provinces may on principle be a wise measure, we regret that it should be ordained by a victorious party on the heels of victory, and that the Bill should contain provisions which, whe ther so intended or not, are calculated to prevent instead of promoting the ultimate peaceable separa tion of the colony from the mother country. Tire Paris Journals of Ttiursdav publish three t,ie graphic desp itches from French Africa, confirming, the ihtelligence brought yesterday, by , xtraordinary express from the French capital.

The third despatch is dated " May 24," and announces the safe arrival of the Princes at Algiers. When re covered froth the fat;gues of the cathpaiqn they were to embark for Marseilles, on their way to Paris, These victories afford hut indifferent pounds for a national triumph. Tue power of ABDEL-KADER is very little ,veakened by the successes which have hitherto attended the ems of France. The At ah,t, strangers to agrieithure, to the arts, and to the settled advantages of commerce, suff.. , r very little from having their country os errun by an enemy. flaying no wealth but their flacks and hinds, which are Whatever the priests, and lawyers, and legis lators may urge to the contrary, the reform of all human institutions must come primarily from those who stiffer from their abuses. It was by the mire nresenied masses of the people that the Reform Bell was carried; and if the Church he ever re formed, it must he by the people acting in spite of those who assume the rank of dignitaries in CHRIST'S spiritual kitiedout. When our Con set vative Contemporaries talk of the Church re forming herseif, they endeavour to propagate a delusion, inasmuch as by the Church they mean only the priests. Now the priests are not the Church, nor the tithe of the Church ; neither are they at liberty to effect any change in the doc trines which she teaches, the duties which she imposes, nor the ceremonies which she observes, however contrary they may he to the spirit of the law of the New Testament. An Anghcan Priest or Bishop has no more right of private judgment than au Ecclesiastic of the Church of Rome. His business is not to inquire and compare, but to believe and teach. If he look either to the right or the left he is affriehted by the gaunt figure of an excommuni cation consigning him body and soul to the Devil. there was not an Eccl es i astic , n t S h t e ric H tl ( y )u s s pakin eeotLgOrds who supported the prayer of the petition presented by the Archorshop of bus- LIN for modifying the imposition of the Thirt3 -nine Articles, who was hot ipsoficto eXcondriumca'cd. This is declared by the fifth canon of the Church, which is as follows . Whosoever shall hereafter Alm, that any of the Thirty-nine Articles agreed upon by the Archbishops and Bishops of both provinces, and the whole Ciergy in the Convocation, holden at London in the year of our Lord God 1562. for avoiding diversity of opinions, and for the establist,ment of consent touching nue Religion, are in any part superstitious or errotmous, or such as he may not w i t h a go od conscience subscribe unto ; let him he ex"m' muniented, ipso 10C10, and not restored, but only by the Archbishop, after his repentance and public revocation of such his wicked errors." According to this canon, the Arhishop of DUB LIN and the Bishop of NORWICH are clearly under sentence of excommunication, both of them having stated that many clergymen could not with a safe conscience subscribe the Articles, and that many of the subscribers did so with mental reservations. Now the 36th canon of the Church emphatically ordains that no person shall be admitted to the Ministry without acknowledging the SOVEREIGN'S absolute spiritual dominion over the Church ; tire accordance of the book of Common Prayer with the Scriptures ; and that all and every one of the Thirty-nine Articles are agreeable to the word of GOD. Dins %‘e have the authority of the Archbishop of DUBLIN for as serting that the Sacraments of' the Church are administered end tne Gospel preached, even in our own Cade deals, by excwininunicated persons. And Yet excommunication was !metaled to carry a ith it a severe punishment. The 33d of the Thirty-nine Articles defines the punishment as follows : " That person, which by open deounei,ttion, is rightly cut cff from the Unity of the Church, and excotn,unieateit, ought to be taken of the whole multitude of the falliful as an Heathen and Publican, until 1:e b" openly reconciled by penance anti received into the Chwch by a judge that bath authority thereto." We have the whole of the canons of the Thirty nine Articles open before us, and front an examina tion of them we infer the hopelessness of ever ex pecting Church Reform from the priests. Nor ate they so much to be blamed as the bulk of die lay reformers suppose. Their bands are tied up by the A rricles and Cations which they voluntarily hound theinselves to ma wain itiviolate on emeriti,' the ministry. Thus many priests who have no hue rest in upholding abuses, are kept silent by a mis taken sense of honour long alter they have disco vered the fallacy of time dogmas, which, by sub scribing, they associated aith the sublimes: troths of the Gospel. There is something to worldly eyes so respectable in religious consistency that few lay men, upon changing their tel opinions, choose to avow a change which would deprive them of the fairest fruits of friendship aird relationship. Brit what is the falling off of friends to a layman compared with the loss of caste, the loss of station in life, the loss of wealth, and of the chalices of promotion which are sure to await the clergyman who dares to doubt the truth of one of the Thirty nine Articles, or who calm° swallow to a mautqul the Apostclical, Athanasian, and Keene Crr eds Without the right of private judgment, the idea of a reform of the Church by the priesthoed is a mockery, and to that right the established clergy of the Church of England have riot and dare not assert a claim. The reform of the Church roust be t'!, e work of men whose con sciences are unseared by oaths of subscription, whose mural sense is not weakened by a tithe dietary, and who are more intent upon accommo dating the Church Institution to the spirit of the Gospel than the G‘spel to a reconcilement with existing abuses. In the face of a host of anathemas and excommunications, we hesitate not to declare that the Convocation of 1.603, which established the Cations, and fixed the government of the Church, adopted tenets so monstrous that it is impossible that any conscien tious clergyman in our day could adopt them Yet they combine, uncluniged, the national rule of faith ; and will so continue, till :he people force them upon the consideratiou of Parharr cot. As this question has found its way to the bat of the House of Lords, we shdl take occasion, from tune to time, to examine it somewhat closely. Comparing the acts of the Convocation with the doctrines of the New Testament, the examining Christi , in will dis cover a wide thfilrcnce het wten the governing pre. cepts of the Church of Christ and the law -esta blished ordinances of the Church of England. as easily transportable from place to place as them selves, they lure the approach at no army intent on plun der ; and rwore to hope than to fear from the presence of troops, encumbered with baggage, and dtshe.atened by tedious marches through a strange, naked, and sterile country, winch neither affords the luxury of a leafy shelter from a burnilg; sun, nor a draught of cool water to moisten the parched lips of the thirsty soldier. While the French army continues in motion the Arabs will fly b.ture it, but the instant it has retraced its steps they will re-appear, harassing its r or, and cutting off all stragelers. In tact, the success of the late campaigh aff,rds ho ground far supposing that the war in Africa will be ended for ten years to come. Oa the 16th and 17th of May the Arabs again attacked Cherchell with redoubled activity. They wtre repulsed, but not before the garrison had sustained great loss in killed and wounded.

P., the Pesitlent of the Socie y took the chair, assisted by Mr. A t•hton Yates, M. P., Mr. Fogg°, Air. S. S mith , Mr. Nicholls, and a number of Gentlemen friends to the arts. Mr. Crosby, the Honorary Secretary, read the Repot of the Committee upon the state of the schools, and affairs of the Society. It stated that within the last two years lour hundred students had been instruetel in the Society's schools, in the principles of the particular branch of art the student was afterwards to follow. That the schools were most popular :amongst the popil, upon account of the free drawing there practised, the energy bestowed in their instruction, and the low charge of admission. That the p re sent number of pupils was 74, a large numl,er a t thi s season of the year. It appeared, however, that the sub scr ib ers h a d f a ll en o ff, and fresh exertions were neces sary to re li eve th e S oc i ety f ro m the difficulties it had to con tend ag a i ns t t h roug h want o f funds. - The report concluded with an extract fro m a l etter of Be • njamin flaydon. the histori. cal painter, who therein declared his opinion that the schools id exertions, the meeting of the Society had done much for the arts, and it would be a disgrace to the country were they allots ed to sink.

The long agi tated que.,tion of Non-intrusion, involving, as it did, the merits of Lord ABERDEEN'S Bill, came on for discussion on Wednesday, when Dr. CHALMERS, in a long, rambling, inconsistent, anti sometimes stirring speech, professed his adherence to the Veto Act. his detestation of the " healing measure," and his determination to support the su premacy of the Church.

Three days ago the Bander was despatched with instructions to the Neapriitao Ambassador at Paris. It is not known how long Admiral llosamel will remain here, or whether he will wait the return of the King, whose departure for Sicily was quite unexpected. Hie Majesty is fond of creating these sur prises ala Napoleon, as they are called here. It is generally believed that, finding it unnecessary to keep so many troops in Sicily, he has gone to review them previous to sending them beck into their cantonments, in order to lessen expense. The official journal says tnat the King's absen ce w ill b e for ten or twelve day's. The Engli s h ships of the line Belterophon and Benbow, the frigate Tyne, and the steamer Phecnix, are still here, and g ive daily ent er t a i nments to their countrs men on shore.

The D luge is a 'subject that has frequently engaged the attention of painters; cholas Poussin—one of the most truly classical artists that. ever existed—has attempted it; and so b" Martin, who is in every respect the reverse of the great Frenchman. As a whole, we cannot complimest Mr. Danby on his success, though port ions of his picture display very superior ability. water-spout, fur in s t ance , B admirably descent 0f be contrived,t and much skill is shown in the management of the bright light thrown on the more tranquil waters in the di s t a n c e, on whose surface the ark is seen floating ; the ghastly troupes, too, 013 ,_ ° are clinging to the s h a tt ere d, i so l a ted fragment of roes; in the foreground, are so arranged as to produce a striking effect on the eye ; but hr.re our praise must stop ; the grand overwhelming iiica of vastness and sublimity which the Deiuge suggests, is lost sigh of ; Mr. D.mhy—apparently from an inability represent space—having given us, not so le" the notion of a world destroyed, as of a sq uare surface of s ome e i g ht y or a hundred miles in a state of inundation. The line of coast on the 0e : side, and th e aspect o f the half-drowned city °- the other, convey the idea, rather of a tumult, ous swollen se a rus hi ng between two near con tinent, than of a mi g hty un i v ersc, the summits of vs hose loftiest mountains only appear above the general deluge.
