Yesterday we commented u pontle success which has latt er ly a tt e nded the denationalizing and degene rating policy adopted by Louis PuiLirre, and festered by M. GUIZOT. It becomes a matter , of supreme importanc e t o cons id er t h e pre j u di c ial effects of this political recantation at the Tuileries upon the cause of freedom a n d c i vilization. Among all the anomalies of continental history, it is certainly the most bewildering : — this of the revival of the spirit of absolutism in the cap i tal of that kingdom in which the sovereignty of the people was first distinctly proclaimed ! It censtitutes one of those incompre hensible reactions which are invariable both in our moral and physical condition. A reaction as mar vellous, as unexpected, and as sudden, but of a totally opposite tendency, has latterly been v ik,is in the degraded and dependent principalities of Italy. While a fraternal sympathy for the Northern despots has been manifesting itself in the Council chambers of the Citizen King of FRANCE, an august Liberator has aroused the enthusiasm of the Italians from the Pon tifical Palace of the Vatican. What Louis PHILIPPE is to the retrogression of society, Pits IX is to its progression—to its advancement —to its elevation. The cloud which has descended over Paris has carried a hateful darkness to Lisbon and to Madrid, while the light of the political and social emancipation of the Romans has illumined the pinnacles of Turin and Leghorn, and found even a reflection on the battle ments of Berlin. Changes so extraordinary and un expected could not possibly occur without being succeeded by the most violent antagonism from those whose influence was thereby endangered. Such has actually been the case. The evidence of national fervour afforded at the Reform Banquet just attended upon those heights of Montmartre which overlook the French metropolis, is not one jot more significant than the dismissal of the C oun t V ILLA MARINA and his liberal colleagues from the administration of affairs under CHARLES ALBERT, the Monarch of Sardinia, or the interruption of that confidence in the ameliora tive character of the present Papal Government which has heretofore rendered Pope Pius the Ninth the idol of the Roman population. Nothing is- more certain than the abhorrence with which the almost republican people of France regard the recent proceedings of their SOVEREIGN and his obsequious Ministers. And the indignation of all Frenchmen in this particular is not more certain than the wrath with which the Austrian Cabinet has watched the progress of liberalism in Italy from the moment of its commencement. In the rejoicings of the elated subjects of the Sovereign PONTIFF, of the King of SARDINIA, and of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, the Emperor of AUSTRIA has only heard the exulting voices of a race relieved from his supreme domination. His listening heart has spoken rightly, if it has so spoken to his judgment. In rendering themselves popular to their people, the rulers of the Italian principalities are most effectually releasing themselves from the thraldom of Austrian friendship—they are securing their own independence in assuring social and political freedom to their respective communities. With the consciousness that their power over the petty Princedoms of Italy is endangered by this liberative movement, the Councillors of FRANCIS are animated with a desperate resolution either to retard the progress of that movement, by raising a multi tude of State obstructions, or to prevent its further development by intrigue, or by open opposition. Unless the countenance of some Free Government be extended to the glorious Apostles of civilization who are now striving to bestow liberty upon the Italians, the predominant sway of Vienna will be successful in its repressive exertions. Aid or coun tenance from France is hopeless now that the Sove reign of France is allied in principle with the assertors of Austrian supremacy in the Italian penin sula. Where, therefore, can Pius look securely for official approbation ? Where, if not to England ? Ours is no blind and undiscerning enthusiasm. Pius the Ninth, as a sacerdotal chieftain, is regarded by all true Protestant Englishmen with suspicion; as a political leader he has secured our confidence' and commanded our admiration. In the English Par liament he has been eulogised ; by the English Prime Minister his panegyric has been pro nounced. Surely the Papal Reformer may look for political countenance to England not ineffec tually. Without some such countenance as might be afforded by Lord PALMERSTON, the cause of liberal legislation in Italy is in a perilous predicament. With some such moral assistance Austria would be awed into submission to the decrees of Destiny, and Italy would arise again from the ashes of ignorance and absolutism to a state of real prosperity, of lasting en lightenment, and of unparalleled happiness. Upon the decision of external Cabinets is dependent the fate of that historic land. Its degeneracy and its vigour are oscillating in the scales of Destiny. Which will preponderate ? Should Pius be abandoned, his country may be again plunged, and that irreparably, into the woes of that foreign domination from which she has been very nearly rescued through his illus trious instrumentality. When an individual who is receiving at the hands of another benefits that should awaken sentiments of the deepest gratitude, chooses to repudiate every feel ing of obligation, to insist upon his moral right to much more than his benefactor has been enabled to effect on his behalf, and to vituperate that benefactor for that which has been omitted, his exaggerated claims excite the atrongcst indignation io every mind. He speedily is abandoned by every former associate, and no one will be found ready or willing to make any effort for the advantage of one who has taken such erroneous views, and who has been guilty of that which has been described "as worse than the crime of witchcraft." The same may be said of communities and nations, if the recipients of bounty impugn the motives or undervalue the exertions of the donors. Indeed, in the latter case, the folly of some few wrong-headed persons will, to a certain ex tent, cast a stain upon the whole of their brethren, and too frequently occasion irreparable injury to the future prospects of their country. Ireland has been peculiarly unfortunate in this respect. How often have the acts of our Legislature for her benefit, although hailed with gratitude by the general body of the people, been maligned and vituperated. How frequently has a torrent of abuse been poured forth in return for deeds deserving of a very different recep tion. During the present session we have repeatedly had to direct the public attention to resolutions adopted by certain Roman Catholic clergymen of the diocese of Tuam, which contained the most unjust and unfounded charges against our Government, and which in every sentence were characterised by what has well been called the " Anti-Russell mania." We had hoped, however, that these opinions would have been confined to the districts from which they emanated, and that we should not have any exhibitions of a similar description within the walls of St. Stephen's. It was, however, with the deepest regret that we found the Noble Lord the Member for Leitrim on Saturday describing the whole of the Irish legislation at this crisis as "unjust and unfair to the last degree," condemning the Legislature and condemning the Government in wholesale terms, and objecting to any portion of the recent advances being demanded from the Irish landlords. We do not desire in any degree to interfere with the opinions of Lord CLEMENTS. Either as an Irish gentlemen, or as a Member of the Legislature, he has a perfect right to g i ve u tt erance to hissentiments, and, if possible, to induc e hi s fellow-Membersto Bcon form thereto, and to a d o pt hi s pecu li ar views. as we conceive these vie ws t o b e extreme] tt, y dan gerous, and calculated, if not immediately contra dicted, to prove highly prejudicial to the interests of Ireland, we feel it an imperative duty to state that they are not participated in by any considerable or influential portion of the Irish people, and to call upon our own countrymen not to suffer any feeling of irritation that might be occasioned thereby to induce them to pause in their benevolent course, or to visit on the entire nation a punishment for the injudicious observations of an individual. The future welfare and prosperity of Ireland depends, in a great degree, upon the capital that may be applied to the improve ment o f the soil, and the full development of all her natural capabilities. We are ready to pledge our credit to obtain the necessary funds, whenever there is a fair and reasonable prospect of an adequate return. ‘ We off er th a t ass i s tance, not as Lord CLE mis rather unhappily suggested, "as a person who be s t ows an alms- upon a mendicant in the street, will b e comes informingfor\vard t h o lm :h at e expected," . but as one who a th ss e ist s a a n m ee e tim of e, t a hat re payment suf feringow o creditbrother,utmosttotax fothhri e s th fu T l vn relief mans of tthat a t and brother, h s o a n m o e ur t , im an e d , his ultimate b ability h. to repay f c .ya o i n th fi l d is en m c o e r i e nhis integrityhaviog , a atand e g o e o oe c a e s s t a h r a y t the advances made or guaranteed for tunate relative. The strictest in such a case. Let it once be inti w in h a s n i t e l the loans are to be regarded as gifts, advantage is taken thereof , and that the whole burde n every of the repayment is to be permitted to fall upon th e person who had bound himself as surety for the other, and an immediate stop is put to every further assist ance. Should any further unforeseen misfortunes occur, there may be s claim for further indulgence, but if there is no alteration in ti.c situLatuil ui the parties the original compact must be strictly observed. When the labour-rate was introduced, in 1846, it was provided that the whole aulow4 of the necessary TEtE SUN, outlay should be refunded by certain instal ments ; when, however, the great extent of the calamity became known, it was looked upon as a national evil, and one-half of the entire amount was voluntarily remitted, while the remaining half was to be accepted by instalments spread over a period of ten years. The boon was gladly accepted, and we believe that we are justified in saying that our generosity awakened the liveliest gratitude throughout the country generally. Nothing has since taken place to call for an alteration. As yet the prospects of the coming year are fair and bright ; there is every appearance of an abundant harvest, and a fair hope that Ireland will be enabled to supply its own wants without further aid from England. It is, therefore, net a fitting period to effect any change in the terms of the contract, and any attempt to do so, if generally participated in, would infallibly prevent the granting of any future loan. Lord CLEMENTS, however, stood alone; not a single Irish Member joined in his views. We may there fore hope that what might have proved injurious will have a contrary effect, and by showing the manner in which any such proposition would certainly be re ceived, prevent the possibility of its repetition. The Augsburg Gazette of the 7th inst. publishes a letter from Rome of the 29th ult., containing a variety of strange reports. It was said that the POPE intended to abdicate, and that he had sent for his brother, Count MASTAI of Sinigaglia, to consult him on the subject. The Liberals assembled on that day to draw up a petition to his Holiness, in which they set forth the reforms he could achieve without compromising his apostolical dignity. The Levant mail brings accounts from Constanti nople of the 27th, from Smyrna of the 25th, and from Athens of the 30th ult. COLETTI has managed to procure a large majority in the new Chamber by the most simple process in the world. He issued letters de cachet, which he placed in the hands of the authorities before the elec tions came on, and whenever an Opposition candidate appeared to have the least chance of success, he was arrested and thrown into prison. General GRIZZIOTI is among the number of the victims of that illegal act of this tool of the Tuileries. Camas, a quondam tool of COLETTI, who headed a rebellion in favour of the presentPrimeMinister againstMavuocoupAro,has, it appears, quarrelled with his patron, and attempted to raise the standard of revolt against him. GRIVAS, however, became frightened, and without waiting for the approach of the Government troops, decamped, and took refuge in the lonian Islands. An Albanian, named DJOUKELS, had attempted, at the head of 1,000 men to raise a rebellion in Albania. The Muchir of Jannina, HAFIz Pacua. routed the rebels, and took fifty prisoners. It is said BEDERHAM BEY, the Kurd chief, was reduced to a powerless state by the troops of the SULTAN, and would be obliged to take refuge in Persia. Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived. The QUEEN has conferred on General CONCHA the title of Mar quis de Douro, and created him a Grandee of the first class. Her MAJESTY has also conferred on General PAVIA the title of Marquis of Novalinches. The contractors of the new loan are stated to be Mr. SMITH, of London, M. BINHENTAL, and Senor SALAMANCA. The QUEEN'S troops have dispersed the Carlist band of CALVENTE, which of late has infested the province of Toledo. CALVENTE himself was killed in the rencontre. MADRID BoLsa, JULY 6.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 17i ; the Debt without interest at sf ; and the Coupons at 13. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The trial of General CUBIERES and his co-accused occupied the attention of the Court of Peers on Sa turday. The general opinion is that General CUBIERES has been the dupe of others. M. TESTE, against whom the evidence presses very hard, defends himself with much energy; his defence, however, turns rather upon technicalities than upon facts. It was rumoured in Paris that M. PELLAPRA would surrender to take his trial ; this report, however, did not gain much credit. The Prince DE CIIIMAY, his son-in-law, had, it was said, written to the Chan cellor that, in consequence of the turn which affairs had taken, M. PELLAPRA would surrender, in order to prove that, however amenable he might be to the charge of corruption, there was no pretence for charging him with swindling. At present General CUMERES declares that M. PELLAPRA told him he had given the 100,000 francs to M. TESTE, while M. TESTE denies the receipt of the money. The Moniker publishes a return of the grain imported into France since the Ist of July, 1846. The total amount is 8,833,284 hectolitres, the whole of which was imported in the course of the first five months of the present year, with the excep tion of 2,542,229 hectolitres imported between the Ist of July and the end of December, 1846. The Echo Agricok mentions that the accounts of the crops received from all the departments of France continue to be satisfactory. Little was done on the Paris market on Saturday. Flour sold from 92f. to 103 f. per sack, according to its quality. At Rouen the price of wheat fell 7f. per hectolitre on Friday. In several districts of the west the di minution amounted to 10f. At Rennes the hecto litre sold for 21f. and 22f, and at Lyons for 25f. The workmen of Thann tumultuously assembled on the principal square of the town in the evening of the 29th ult., and parties traversed the streets, threatening to plunder the bakers' shops, which were instantly closed. The next day, however, a considerable re duction having taken place in the price of bread, order was completely restored. Accounts have been received at Havre from Goree, which state that several French missionaries have been arrested by an African chief who calls himself King of CAYOR. There was a report on Sunday that M. SMILE DE GIRARDIN had sold La Presse. There was little or nothing doing in the Funds in Paris on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were quoted at 77f. 60c., having recovered from the panic created after the close of business on the Bourse on Saturday, by a rumour that the KING had had an attack of apoplexy.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—Last evening, at a little after seven o'clock, while the dray men of Messrs. Tru man, Hanbury, and Co., were delivering beer at the Swan public-house, Kingsland-road, a fine boy, about four and a half years old (son of a gardener in humble circumstances, Derby-road), by some means or other got crushed under one of the large butts, as it Was being removed from the dray. He was at once removed to a neighbouring surgeon's, but before he reached the house he had breathed his last. The distress of his poor parents, who, with the other members of the family, were soon on the spot, was heartrending. The dray man was at once taken into custody to await the issue of the coroner's inquest. Whatever may be the verdict of the jury as to the guilt or innocence of the man, it is to be hoped that they will append to it a recommenda tion that the present mode of sliding casks from off the drays be done away with, and some other one adopted, as it is often attended with no little difficulty to escape an accident from the slovenly manner in which these heavy butts are slung and slid from the drays. ENGLISH SCENERY—THE GREEN BUSHES.—EIihu Burritt, in one of his recent letters from England, speaking of the peculiar beauty of the landscape scenery in this country, says:—" But the most distinguished and interesting feature of all is the evergreen hedges. The soft and luxuriant verdure of the fields, reposing in the valleys, or curving gracefully round the gentle sloping hills, and ivy-netted cottages and churches of the olden time, and the golden wheat fields, overrun with the e dancing waves of sunlight,dge.l w n o f u a l c d t, b if e ou li r ke ble u a n k fr A am m e e d pi c t u res, without the . rican stone wall or rail fences were substituted for it, the would be robbed of its loveliest f rural scenery of England veriest st groves pas ture picturesque e u y a r t e t u h . r i e s ' It Everything l l i f n -w es o v everye self-woven roadall ooksenclosed green,f and l lane, e e n the , whenveand gardens, which for all the world appeared like so many bird s ' nests or m oss baskets, placed one above the v surrounding e other up the hill, and filled with different plants and flowers."

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but firmer. Prices of all kinds remained unchanged. The market was well supplied with mid, and good mid. The market was rather bare of the lower and higher rates. The sales were 5,000 bales, including 3,000 bales American, at 64d. to 7d. per lb. Surat were 4id. to 51d. per lb. In Railway Shares business was very limited, and prices were tending downwards. The ship arrivals to-day bring no news of general interest. The Funds have been very flat again. Consols are / for Friday, and 88i 4 for present transfer. Ex chequer-bills have been lls. to 145., premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 901 4, and the Three per Cents. 881 1. Bank Stock is nominally 1961. The Spanish market is more buoyant upon the pro posed capitalisation into Three per Cent. Stock of the Five per Cent. Bonds and arrears of interest, and so far the new loan of 1,000,0001. has had but little effect. The Five per Cent. Bonds are 221 to 234, and the Three per Cents. 31 to 313-. Portuguese Four per Cent. are marked 31, Mexican Bonds have been 19 to 19i, Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents. are 57i. Railway Shares continue flat, and there is but little doing.

' .. THE HAGUE, JULY' 7.—Yesterday the annual opening of all the provincial states throughout all the provinces of the kingdom took place. In this first sitting reports were read on the individual state of each of the provinces in regard to its commerce, navigation, emigration, &c. It was understood that the number of ships which entered the Meusein 1846, not including fishing vessels or herring boats, amounted to 2,682, being an increase of 565 to 1845, and of 840 to 1844. The vessels which left the Meuse were 2,792, which also presents an increase of 785 to 1845, and of 741 to 1844. This augmentation is prin cipally owing to the constantly increasing importation of goods from the Rhenish provinces. According to the most accurate documents, the transport of goods for the Rhine has been 67,4901, facts showing a dif ference of more than 26,661 to 1845, and 10,883 to 1843, a year in which the Rhenish navigation was the most active. The numb er of emigrants w ho left Rotterdam for North America has augmented co nsiderably, and amounted to 1,895 Dutchmen. The Chamber of Com merce of Rotterdam attached great importance Co a steam communication with North America ; but it ap pears that hitherto these efforts have not produced the favourable results expected. No branch of c ommer ce has b een more flourishing within the past year than that of c orn, and the navigation has been most active in the harbours of the Baltic and Archang e l, where a very larg e amount of corn has been imported in consequence of the dearth o f potatoes throughout the greater part of Europe. The new resources created by the law of the 30th of May, 1847, cannot fail to augment yet further the developme n t of this part of our navigation. The new commercial legislation, adopted by Englan d, as had been well foreseen, cannot fail to produce the most important results upon our commerce. The constantly in creasing exportation of our agri cultural produce to England is manifested in the increasing exportation of our cattle to that country. It amounted in 1844 to 3 - 2 ~ 8 horned cattle ,a4B ° and rsheep ; in 1845 to 7 , 912 - horned cattle and 12,590 sheep ; in 1846 to 544 horned cattle, and 47,726 sheep. The commer ce with Germany has been very active in corn and iro n. Shi p -building has u p on the whole been more active. Two lar g e mer chantmen were launched at Rotterdam in 1846, a brig and a schooner, ANTWERP, JULY 9.—ln the sitting of our provincial council this day the Governor read a Ministerial dis patch, tch, announci n g th at t h e G o vernment is occupied in the formation or a super'er institution for commerce, agriculture, and manutactures at Antwerp, aided by subsidies of the state, the province, and the commun e.

(THIS DAY.) The July adjourned Middlesex Sessions for the trial of felonies and misdemeanours, of which there were 4 of the latter and 31 of the former upon the calendar, commenced this morning at the Court-house, Clerlien. well-green. Out of the 35 prisoners for trial 14 were unable either to read or write, while the remainder were described as being able to read or write imperfectly. Nine of the offenders were under sixteen years of age. Thomas Millar and Frederick Thompson were con victed of stealing a coat, the property of Duncan Irwin, from a carriage in the street. Several previous convictions being recorded against Thompson, he was sentenced to be transported for seven years, and Millar was sentenced to six months' impri sonment with hard labour. Johanna Sullivan, for pet stealing, was sentenced to six month,' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. Thomas Badcock, a boy only twelve years of age, whose head scarcely reached as high as the bar, was indicted for stealing three pairs of shoes, the property of Samuel Hudson Fleming. The facts were of the ordinary character, and a ver dict of Guilty being returned, The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner's father had turned both him and his bro ther into the streets either to starve or thieve, as the chance might be. It was a most disgraceful state of things, and he never would let an opportunity slip of bringing such a system before the public. Here was a number of poor children brought, session after session, to this court to be tried, and the only course open to the Court to adopt was the almost useless one of sending them back to prison. Such a state of things would pre vail until the Court had the power of compelling parents, who were guilty of such gross neglect in the educating and training of their offspring, to bear the expense arising from the crimes of the children. He should sentence the prisoner to one month's imprisonment, and at the end of that term order him to be soundly whipped with a birch rod. A very respectable-looking man, named James Payne, was indicted for stealing an umbrella from the Com mittee•rooms of the House of Lords. _ It appeared from the evidence of Constable Partridge, 47 A, that the prisoner was seen lingering about the Committee•-rooms of the House of Lords in a suspicious manner, and a close watch being kept upon him, he was observed coming out of Room A with au umbrella in his hand, when he was stopped by Partridge, and asked where he had got it; when he replied that he took it in mistake for his own. However, upon searching in the Committee-room no other umbrella was found. The prisoner's lodgings were searched, when two other valuable silk umbrellas were found there. Witnesses as to character were called, when it was stated that the prisoner had been at one time in very prosperous circumstances, and was the landlord of the Three Compasses Tavern, in Gilbert-street, Golden square. A verdict of Guilty was returned against the prisoner, wnen he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and hard labour. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY. John Collins, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting Mr. Charles Harris, landlord of The Two Chairmen, No. 81, Wardour-street; also with violently assaulting Police-sergeant Hughes, 12 C, whilst in the execution of his duty. Mr. Charles Harris stated that on the previous night, about half-past nine o'clock, the prisoner entered his house in a state of inebriety, and immediately began to kick up a row with the customers who were at the bar. Complainant observing the man to be excited requested him to leave the house in a peaceable manner. The pri soner refused to do so, and making a rush at him struck him a blow in the face. Complainant then sent for a constable, and gave him in charge. Police-sergeant Hughes, 12 C, said that about half past nine o'clock last night he was called to the house of last witness to receive charge of the prisoner. On their way to the station the prisoner knocked him down and kicked him several times in the lower part of his person. Witness managed to get up from his defenceless position, when the prisoner struck him i❑ the face and kicked him on the shins. He subsequently became so violent, and resisted so much, that he was obliged to call for assistance to convey him to the station. Witness had received such severe injuries as to incapaciate him from doing his duty. The prisoner afterwards, when locked up in the cell at the station, assaulted one of the prisoners, who was present, and would prefer the charge against him. Edward Edwards said that last night he was locked up in one of the cells at Vine-street station at the time the prisoner was brought in. Directly the gaoler had locked him in he came up to witness and, without the least provocation, kicked him in the groin. He was so much injured as to be obliged to be sent to the hospital. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he was ex ceedingly drunk, and knew not what he did. He really was very sorry for what had occurred. Mr. BINGHAM said it could not be permitted for the prisoner to plead intoxication as an excuse for such a serious assault. He should commit him to the House of Correction for one month, with hard labour. _ _ Timothy Cavanagh was charged with having assaulted Mrs. Mary Lockin, one of the agents of the League Bread Company, residing in Little Earl•street, Seven Dials. It appeared that the prisoner, from some cause not explained, had taken great offence at Mrs. Lockin being appointed an agent for the sale of the League Company's bread. Last night, he being well primed with sundry pints of heavy, entered the complainant's shop and abused her in a very improper manner. Not satisfied with that, he spit in her face, and called her by a very indelicate epithet. lie followed that up by threatening to strike her, and to save herself from violence she left the shop, and, having sent for a constable, gave him into custody. The defendant pleaded the old tale of intoxication in defence; and, as it was his first offence, Mr. 131AoHAm said he (defendant) must find one surety in 3/. to keep the peace towards complainant for the next three months. The remainder of the morning was occupied by the Court in disposing of several other trifling cases of drunkenness and assaults. In each case a small tine was inflicted, and the defendants set at liberty. Since the commencement of the hot weather there has been more drunken charges at this court than at any other time. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) James Lloyd, an ex-policeman, was brought up on re mand, charged by Thomas Jackson, K 263, under the following circumstances: — The constable stated that about four o'clock on Fri day afternoon, as he was on duty at Millwall, Poplar, he saw the prisoner carrying a bag on his shoulders. Wit ness asked what was in it, and he replied bones, but on an examination of its contents he found 41bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco concealed amongst the bones. The prisoner ran away and made his escape, but yester day afternoon witness again saw him by the turnpike gate at Poplar, and apprehended him. In answer to the prisoner, the constable admitted that he had allowed him to pass through the gate and go some distance before he stopped him. The prisoner delared that he knew nothing whatever of the bag of bones or tobacco. He resided at Flagon row, Deptford, and was at home on the Friday atter noon. Mr. Joseph Clothier, a salesman, residing at Deptford, came forward, and corroborated the prisoner's state ment, having seen him at home on the very day and hour the constable alleged that he stopped him at Mill wall with the tobacco. The constable still positively asserted that he was not mistaken, and had no doubt on the subject ; but Mr. YARDLEY said it was clear from the testimony of Mr. Clothier that it was a case of mistaken identity, and he would caution the constable against swearing too rashly. lie must say that his conduct in not stopping the prisoner at once at the, gate showed that he had a doubt on the subject, and he had therefore given his evi dence a great deal too confidently. The prisoner must be at once discharged. Mr. Clothier inquired whether some compensation ought not to be made, but Mr. YARDLEY said he had no power to order any. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. SUPPLY. The Report on the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. The report on the Committee of Ways and Means was also brought up and agreed to. RECOVERY OF PUBLIC MONIES (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. Mr. GREENE brought in this Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in moving the second reading of :the Bishopric of Manchester Bill, said that this Bill had been introduced on the re commendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. That Commission had recommended that two bishop rics should be united with other bishoprics—those two bishoprics were Bangor and St. Asaph. The recom mendation of the Commissioners was, that the Bishop ric of Bristol should be joined with that of iGloucester, and Bangor with that of St. Asaph. The Commissioners also recommended the creation of two new bishoprics— one for Ripon, the other for Manchester. As was well known, the bishoprics of Bristol and Gloucester had been united, and a bishop had been appointed for Ripon. Great objections had, however, been raised to the joining of the bishoprics of Bangor and St. Asaph, and by the present Bill it was not sought to join them, but to create a new Bishop for Manchester, which would require, if this Bill was passed, no new funds. With respect to the new bishop, according to the pro visions of the Bill, he would not have a seat in the House of Lords until the death of one of the present bishops, and upon that event taking place, he would take his seat in the House of Lords, but the junior bishop would not. The Noble Lord concluded by moving the second reading of the Bill. Mr. JOHN COLLETT wished to know from the Noble Lord whether it was his intention in a new Par lianlent to briog in a for the ert:utiori of any other new bishoprics. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was proposed, in another session, to create ;a new bishopric to relieve London, to be called the bishopric of St. Albans. It was also in tended to relieve York by creating a bishopric of Southwell, and it was also proposed to relieve the see o, Exeter by creating a bishopric of Badmin. Sir R. H. INGLIS cordially concurred in the pro elisions of the Bill for preserving Entire the bishopric of Bangor and St. Asaph, for which they were indebted to the exertions of his Noble Friend Earl Powis. Al though he deprecated the provisions of the 1301 which excluded the bishopric of Manchester in the first in stance from a seat in the House of Lords, yet he felt bound, looking at the period of tho session, and the necessity for the present measure, to give his support to the Bill. Mr. HORSMAN then rose to propose the following amendment, of which he had given notice That at this late period of the session it is not expedient to pro ceed with a measure which, involving new and important principles, deserving of the utmost consideration, would be more fitly discussed in another session of Parliament, on the introduction of a general and comprehensive scheme for increasing the efficiency of the Church, and lessening the spiritual destitution of the people." lie thought it most desirable, that in the present session a measure of such importance as the present should not be further proceeded with. The measure in its present state remedied no evil, it asserted no new principle, it pointed at no end, and it avoided altogether the consideration of the lamentable and neglected state of some of the population of this country with respect to religious education. The Bill proposed changes such as had never been proposed before. The House was called upon by the Bill to dis pose of a sum of 17,600/. a year, and to do that by the creation of new bishoprics. Now, ho would ask, was Parliament prepared to do that ? He thought he could point out a much better mode of expending so large a sum of money. It appeared that the sum of 351,000/. had been already received by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, including, from the suppression of numerous canonries and sine cures, the sum of 191,000/., and from the larger sees, 157,000/. The fund derivable from the first of these items was to be appropriated towards the augmentation of small benefices, and the latter fund was to be used for the purpose of increasing the revenues of the smaller sees How had these funds been applied? The sum of 167,300/. had been applied for the augmentation of small livings, for the purpose of increasing the revenues of the sees of the bishops 106,386/., for episcopal rest dences 143,014/., making a total expenditure on the part of the bishops of 249,400/., showing an excess in favour of the bishops over the poor benefices of 82,000/. By the terms of their commission the Com missioners were authorised to build or provide suit able residence for the bishops. How had they carried out these provisions? They had expended on the palace of the Bishop of Ripon, 16,111/.; the Bishop of Bath and Wells, 3,000/.; the Bishop of Exeter, 3,500/.; the Bishop of Oxford, 6,5001.; the Bishop of Worcester, 7,000/.; the Bishop of Gloucester, 23,000/.; the Bishop of Rochester, 28,832/.; and the Bishop of Lincoln, 154,444/. Now, it appeared that while all these large owns of money had been expended on episcopal resi dences, there had been in those eight dioceses an aug mentation in poor livings to the amount of only 5,0001., or about one twenty-eighth of the whole sum. And it so happened that in those dioceses where the largest sums of money had been expended on the episcopal palaces, the smaller had been the amount of money ap propriated to the increase of poor livings. In the diocese of Gloucester, where there had been an expenditure of 23,0004 on the palaces of the bishop, there were 97 benefices under 1001. a year, while in the diocese of Lin coln, where there had been a sum of 54,444/. expended, these were 218 benefices under 100/. a year.—(Hear, hear.) So lamentable was the present condition of many of the benefices of the country, that there were numbers of gentlemen, having re ceived a most expensive education, and who were obliged by virtue of their office to keep up a gen tlemanly appearance, who were receiving less than the masons who were employed in building the new Houses of Parliament. Indeed there were 85 livings, the in. cumbents of which received only qd. per day. These were surely circumstances requiring grave consideration, and some measures ought to be adopted for a more just and equitable distribution of the immense revenues of the Church. Ile was one of those who thought that the whole interest of the Church ought not to be al lowed to centre entirely in Cie episcopacy. Turning from the state of the Church, he would briefly allude to the state of the population. The whole population of the entire kingdom was 16,000,000. The number of churches and chapels in connexion with the Church throughout the United Kingdom was 13,624, the number of clergymen were 16,010. Of this number there were 1,568 who had no duties to perform; there were dignita ries and heads of colleges amounting to 1,147; chaplains of men-of-war on foreign stations, 372; leaving the total number of the working clergy 12,523. Of this number, 6,850 had charge over one•tenth of the parishes in which the inhabitants were under 300 in number; while in a vast number of the other parishes the clergyman had charge over an immense population, far too great for any one individual to superintend.

MARYLEBONE. At a meeting of the Marylebone Reform Associtstie„; held on Thursday last, it was agreed that the three the candidates for the representation of the borough i n , o f ensuing Parliament should be subjected to a bal lot osC the whole Liberal constituency, in order that the favoured alone should stand, and subsequently a re°t' — d , for including Sir B. Hall in that ordeal was carried by ,'" majority of seven only. On Saturday, however, Sir P' Hall addressed a letter to the secretary of the Maryli r bone Reform Association, declining to submit to the pt °: posed test, upon the ground that it was most unusual call upon a sitting Member to do so, and referring to i , i es , plan pursued in 15 , 41, when Sir C. Napier was chosq ve ' c i the ballot of the electors, he (Sir B. Hall) beintgartecseirii6.. . )$.. as a candidate of course. The letter stated, b Hall, having received votes of approval so rtelf dente at two very largo meetings of the electors 9 ' t he held, was determined to submit his pretension s A t O f constituency at the day of nomination. The . e OO of this repudiation of the proposed preliminary electient it Sir B. Hall is as yet somewhat dubious, as at pr eS i g feel cannot be known how far the other candidates but themselves bound by the existing arrangeme nt '' A ny there is a very strong feeling in the borough thatin candidates are to be subjected to this test it wi"' common fairness, to be applied to all. a S t at t u h r a day vi e ct v o e r n i l a n MEETING IN SUPPORT OF MR.
