The Commons met at the usual hour, and a consider able number of petitions was presented, including some for Universal Suffrage, free pardon for political offences, and the dismissal of Ministers. Mr. GROTE postponed his motion for an inquiry into the sale of lands in New South Wales till next Session. On the Order of the Day for a Committee on the Affirmations Bill being called on, Mr. Gour.suitN, who opposed the Bill, declared that it had never been dis cussed, and moved that the Committee be put off for three months. _ _ Mr. HAwEs supported the Bill, and showed by ex amples that affirmations would be considered by con scientious men equally binding with oaths. Sir R. INGus said no man could object to take an oath who belonged to the Church of England. He contended that they were not at liberty to break down the barrier which all civilised nations had erected to protect the rights of individuals. He was for an appeal to GOD or GoD's own book, as a guarantee of truth, and against removing the restrictions of oaths. Sir C. GREY and Mr. EWART supported the Bill, which, after a short discussion was committed by 91 to 59 votes. It went through the Committee, and is to be reported this day. The Punishment of Death Abolition Bill was re ported,'and ordered to be read a third time on Wednes day next. Mr. KELLY proposed the clause to abolish the punishment of death for forgery of stamps, and is to add that clause to the Bill o❑ the third reading. On that stage, too, Sir E. WiLatoT is to propose a clause, pro• hibitiog persons charged with the offences which the Bill releases from capital punishment, from being tried at the Quarter Sessions. The Constabulary Bill (Mr. HODGES') was read a second time, alter a short discussion. The Drainage of Lands Bill was reported, after a di vision, by 65 to 29. On reading the Order of the Day for a Committee of Supply, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE rose to bring the case of THOROGOOD under the noCce of the House, but the SPEAKER decided that he had no right to proceed then, and after a good deal of squabbling, for which we must refer to our report, the SPEAKER called on Lord SAN DON, who proceeded to bring the commercial relations of the country under the notice of the House. The Noble Lord, who is equally eloquent and profound, is evidently training himself, greatly to the chagrin of Mr. MACLEAN and Lord MAHON, to be the Foreign Minister or President of the Board of Trade in the Tory Administration whenever the Whigs go out, made a rigmarole speech, in which he hashed up all the complaints of the Tory press and of Messrs. CARGILL and URQUHART, and blamed the Foreign Secretary for not forcing our trade all over the world. If the Foreign Minister pro tect the English abroad he does his duty, and they are not the true friends of the commercial interest who are always calling on the Foreign Minister to interfere for it, and always driving the country into grasping and ra pacious measures to enrich a few merchants. Lord PALMERSTON made a brief and effective reply to Lord SANDON, but it was more than the Noble Lord deserved. Mr. HAWES properly characterised the vigorous measures of the Tories as cannon balls, and they would like very, well to promote their own par ticu;ar trade—war and bloodshed—under the pre tence of promotin2 trade. The interesting dis cussion which ensued we must notice hereafter. No motion was mad,!, the sole object of Lord SANDON and his friends having been to display their own vast powers, and convince the country, by their wise remarks, that they ate profound statesmen. The country estimates them at their full value. This discussion prevented the House from going into a Committee of Supp:y, except pro forma, inunediatel) to resume. Tile Report on the Loan Societies Bill was brought up, and occasioned a little discussion. The other busi ness was disposed of, and at One o'Clock the House ad ourncd. The Regency Bill has been censured by notthe Tories—though we believe unadvisedly_fo including the Church of Ireland, as well as the Church of England, amongst the sacred subjects with which the power of the Regent is not to meddle. Have the Radicals no opposite fault to find with it ? We think they have. It is now only seven years since ten Bishops were cut off from the Irish Church. It is not so long since the first great stir arose in the country on the sub ject of Church-rates ; and the period is still more recont when the -PUSEYITES and the ARNOLD -ITES, or the party which demands a change in the Liturgy, have come into notice. Within the same period a considerable number of attempts have been made to reform the Church, and most of them have been unsuccessful. The last of them is now before the House of Lords, in the shape of a Bill to improve the distribution of the revenues of the Church, and it is very doubtful whether it will pass into a iaw. Now all these facts prove that public opinion is very much bent on reforming the Church, and concerning no institution has it more apidly and steadily ad vance d. I t b e i ng notorious that the institution i s most defective, and tip, growth of public opini on aga i nst i t having been :0 ipid, the Radicals ask with astonishment why th.

These brave fellows were, however, in high spirits, and made very light of the number of their enemies. There is no news of any moment in the Paris Jour nals of Tuesday. The Government is greatly perplexed by the unexpected misunderstanding between the Spa nish REGENT and ESPARTERO. The French Ambas sador has been ordered to hasten to Barcelona without a moment's delay. What will be the upshot of this affair none of the French Journals undertake to deter- mine. The Carlist Chief TRISTANY, with the last of his , bands, has entered France. Unless the refugees enter the Foreign Legion, they will overrun France by their , numbers, and prove a source of great perplexity to the Government. The Madrid Papers received are of the 14th inst., but they are equally with the French Journals barren of intelligence. It is affirmed that all the attempts made since the resig nation of General Espartero to reconcile him with the Queen hove been fruitless. Our Government is said to have received news from Barcelona, dated the 18th ' • the city was in a state of great agit a ti on ; th e name o f the Commander-in-Chief was pronounced with acclamations amidst the general fermentation ; writings extolling his patriotism and his glory were profusely distributed. It was expected every moment that his army wauld be assem bled under the walls of the city, The letters and journals of the frontier of Spain an nounce that the last fragments of the Carlist bands have taken refuge in France. The Catalonian band of the Canon Tristany was the last to yield, but it has at length entered France. The following letter on this subject, dated July 16, is written from Tour de Carol, and published in the Emancipation of Toulouse of the 18th Benet Tristany arrived at six o'clock yesterday morn ing at Palau, with 1,500 infantry and only about 40 cavalry. The Governor of Puycerda was informed of the intention of the Chief to retire into the French territory. He made a sally, and having preceded the insurgents towards the village of Cachaus, he drove them back to that of Alp, near Villalobent (on the extreme frontier op posite Oasija). The Carlist cavalry at first made a show of resistance, but en the first discharge of musketry by the Christinos they turned their backs, and took refuge in France. The infantry gained the heights, and entered a short time afterwards. About 500 then narrowly escaped being made prisoners, and escaped only by throwing them selves into the forest of Palau, whence they could proceed without danger to that tillage.—Le Commerce.

I saw him on his return, and he looked better than I expected, and certainly better than when he embarked. He was to have embarked again on the following day, but the weather was too stormy. The family went in the yacht to meet Earl Grey, who returned with them, and still remains at Harriet Lodge. The changeableness of the weather has a very great effect on his Lordship. On Monday he was so ill as to create the greatest alarm in the family, and an express was sent off to town for Dr. Seymour. To-day (Wednesday) he is much better, but I hear he takes very little nourish ment. His Lordship is about purchasing a house here." THE MINISTERS WONT GO OUT iS the burden of a long article in the Times of yesterday, the great grief being that the Tories can't get in. What a sub ject for a whole column of fine writing. When the Tories were in office, their opponents did not complain of them for sticking to it. They endeavoured to prove by many successive motions and debates that the Tory policy was erroneous and mischievous, and so to drill public opinion in their own favour. That was an ho nourable course of opposition worthy of statesmen. The Tories merely thwart and obstruct the business of Government, and having succeeded effectually in that, reproach the Ministers—not with an erroneous policy, but that they will not allow the Tories to get hold of office. This is the single source of their complaint. They have nothing to censure in the policy of Ministers, but their adhesion to office. In power the Tories were tyrants, out of office they are whining, despicable slaves. no mistake, beats down the price of wool. We wish the flock masters joy of the bread tax. ing the 13th of CHARLES 11., touching the uni formity of religious worship ? We find the following observations on the sub ject in the Brighton Guardian : Great complaints are made of its Li: orgy by some of the ablest of its clergy ; they have petitioned Parliament to amend it ; and if Parliament should deem that necessary, as God knows it is, the Regent, as we understand the re striction, would be unable to assent to the alteration. Suppose that the present demand for improvement in the Church Liturgy should become general. the consequence of the restriction will be to place the Church more than ever at variance wish common sense and the people, and to give an additional impetus to Dissent. We should also like to ask why the present Par liament proposes, on such an important point, to tie up the discretion of it 3 successors during a minority, if such a thing should happen, of eighteen years ? By decreeing that the Regent shall not give his assent to any alteration of the Act 13th of CHARLES 11., the Regency Bill, as effectually as a law can, prevents the Parliament from passing any such measure. We are well aware that if a necessity should arise to make a sweeping reform in the Church, the Regency Bill will not be an insur mountable obstacle ; but those who proposed it must be as well aware of that as we are, and ought not therefore to pass a law which will be sure to give way whenever the time comes to bring it into actual operation. The clergy have no reliance, apparently, on themselves or on the virtues of the Church, for they always seek to protect it by oaths and Acts of Parliament. No other class of men, and no other institution, is ex pressly guarded by the Coronation oath ; but the clergy in administering that, imposed on the Sovereign a condition for their own peculiar protection. The Church (using that word to mean the priesthood, its favourite sense with them) really forms a very inconsiderable por tion of the nation, both as to wealth and numbers ; and why its property should be so sedu lously protected by the Royal oath is only to be ac counted for by looking back to those periods when men had no other security than oaths for the per formance of moral duties, and when the clergy placed the crown on the head of the Prince, as the deputed ministers of heaven. The restriction on the Regent, not to repeal the 13th of CHARLES 11., is a mere extension of the Coronation oath for the security of the clergy and the Church against the progress of society. The Paper quoted above draws attention also to the succession to the throne, and asks very pointedly whether the people must submit, in case such a contingency should arise, to the King of HANOVER as King of England. It is generally considered no good illustration of the principle of monarchy that a young and amiable woman should be called to exercise the functions of sovereignty. But con3trained as she is to act through responsible Ministers, it is not likely that she can do much mischief. A resolute Prince who has arrived at mature age might exercise the Royal power to the great injury of the people ; and for the nation to have the King of HANOVER forced on the throne against the public will, by the law of succession— which must not be altered, however necessary— would be so frightful a consequence of the mo narchical principle that it would go nigh to over• turn it. The following panegyric on the statesmanship of Lord CASTLEREAGH—the " wind-pipe-slit ting, blood and water spout," as Lord BYRON termed him—is from the Morning Herald : Lord Castlereagh was essentially a good man, and, not withstanding the abuse lavished upon him by a most un scrupulous press, he was the greatest favourite in the House of Commons since the time of North. The secret of his being such a favourite consisted in the evident sin cerity of his purpose, and in his abstaining at all times from joking ever the serious charge committed to his care. However, some Liberal Members, who boast of being born a generation too soon, might question his policy, he was always respected by them. They knew that he was not trifling. He never show'd of Indeed, whenever asked a question, his eloquence amounted to no more than plac ing his left hand on the table, and explaining the point in a gentlemanly conversational manner. And he was never absent from his place. There was no asking a question twic'a in his time ; in his time there was no delay of the au2plies until the greater portion of the House are posi t:ively fagged out of town, as they are now • and though upon his handsome face a smile always played indicative of conscious honesty and superiority, he never tried to get out of a difficulty by preliminary persiflage. Reader, look on that picture—and on this. Turn your eye over a file of newspapers, and you will find that the only seven times in the course of six months upon which Lord Palmerston has made his appesrance to answer the most important questions, he has shuffled out of them by attempts at jok ing. Is not this too much of a joke ? Is it possible that Lord CASTLEREAGH, as above stated, never tried to turn his handsome face to ac count in the House of Commons ? Was he, in reality, so indifferent to the power which a " smile always playing" on his face—and that " smile" too, one of " conscious superiority" —gave him over the " first assembly of gentlemen in the world," as never to dream of trying what might be made by its occa sional exercise ? We have heard of grinning through horse collars, and very pretty amusement some rustics think it ; but we never before heard of smiling down an opposition in the House of Com mons. Our venerable Contemporary, who is always associating piety with lawn sleeves in one sex, and wrinkles in the other, chuckles with delight upon making the discovery that Lord CASTLEREAGH was no MOLL FLANDERS in male attire, profiting by his good looks. " Though a handsome man his Lordship vas very far from being a gay deceiver," quoth Granny. We shall not attempt to dispute this point with so good an authority as our frail Contemporary. We should doubt, however, the influence of smiles indicative of " conscious supe riority" in the House of Commons even in Lord CASTLEREAGH'S time. Of what avail they are now in that House the estimation in which Lord STANLEY is held by all parties may be taken as a fair test. His Lordship only smiles to " indicate conscious superiority," and perhaps because he is not always smiling it cannot be said with confi dence that he is shunned by all his friends and de tested by all his opponents. But besides profiting nothing by his handsome face and nis constant smile " of conscious superi ority," Lord CASTLEREAGH made no pretensions to what he had neither the mouth to utter, the judgment to comprehend, or the feeling and taste to admire—eloquence I His Lordship was a pat tern of virtue, both positively and negatively. He neither abused beauty which he had, or attempted eloquence which he had not. " His eloquence amounted to no more," says the Herald, with that minuteness of detail, characteristic of garrulous old age, " than placing his left hand upon the table and explaining the point in a gentlemanly conversational manner." It is a thousand pities that the Herald has forgotten to tell us where his Lordship placed his right hand when his left was upon the table. Perhaps he employed it in holding his hat, perhaps thrust it into his pocket, or very likely used it as some other small orators do in the House in illus trating the clearing of the " point" by removing the folds in his waistcoat. But it is quite clear that his Lordship was no orator, and equally so that the Herald regards eloquence as not only useless but pernicious. Again we are assured by Granny that Lord CASTLEREAGH was never absent from his place in the House of Commons. Would to GOD this were the truth I But the lamentable fate of Poland, the dismemberment of Saxony, the fatal annexation of Finland to Russia, and the base surr en d er o f Parga to the ruthless ALI PACHA, in violation of the faith of treaties, are deplorably disgraceful evi dences of his Lordship's occasional inattention to his Parliamentary duties. The country has not yet forgotten, though the Herald has, the Con gress of Vienna. The sneering allusion to Lord PALMERSTON we dismiss with silent contempt. The superiority of his Lordship's policy is attested by its honour able pacific tendency, and its uniform success. The Englishman who calmly contemplates the re sults of his Lordship's interference in Portugal, in Spain, in Belgium, in Persia, and in Affghanistan, will readily pardon the levity with which he may have treated the grave interrogations of such sage statesmen as BENJAMIN DISRAELI, Mr. MAC LEAN, and one or two other Conservative wise acres, troubled with an itch for dabbling in foreign politics. Lord PALMERSTON employs his time to better purpose than in answering the questions of babblers and meddlers of this description. The King of HANOVER is an unpopular and discredited man. He has the character both of a tyrant and a knave. He was the chief of the ORANGE faction, and his accession to the throne might be the beginning of a rebellion. Now the Regency Bill says that should his accession become probable, and should it threaten to cause, as it might, a rebellion in the empire, the Parliament and the Regent are not to have the power to ward off that calamity by quietly altering the succession to the throne, but must submit to the King of HANO VER and place him on the throne of Great Britain. We know that should such a case arise, the Parliament would pay no more attention to the Re gency Act than to an old song. The men of that day, whenever it comes, will maintain that they have supreme power as well as the present Parlia ment—that they are better judges of what the kingdom requires, than men who are gone to their account—and they will at once, if necessary for the public good, set aside the King of HANOVER, and place some other person on the throne. The restriction, therefore, will, in fact, be useless, should any circumstance arise to make it necessary or desirable to alter the succession to the throne, and it is merely silly for the Parliament to pass any such law. If such restrictions were really binding it would be a monstrous exercise of power in the present Parliament to tie up their successors and the nation for eighteen years ; but should it be ne cessary, before the expiration of the Regency, to alter the succession to the throne, the restric tions on the Regent will fall away like burnt tow from the arms of a strong man. To pre vent these consequences, it would be as well that some Radical or Liberal Member of the House of Commons should at least raise a debate on the pro priety of placing the proposed restrictions on the Regent. They are at best but a mockery of that supreme power in the Parliament which they meant to limit. A Correspondent has ably enforced and con firmed our observations, made a few days ago, on the present high price of sugar being a peat in jury to the fruit growers. It is only further ne cessary for us to make the fruit-growers aware that the high price of sugar is the consequence of that restrictive system of which the Corn-laws are a part. If the landlords, who in this respect have in fact a deep interest in the national prosperity, were wise, they would exert themselves to remove any kind of restiictiou on trade, by which industry would be promoted and the value of their land, and all that grows on it, would he increased ; but instead of that they foster a noxious system of re striction, beginning with Corn-laws, which cuts up national prosperity by the toots. If they did not require Corn-laws they would be able to demand the importation of sugar, free from any prohibitory duty. Cheap sugar would enhance the value of all the fruit grown in England, but the fruit-growers are denied cheap sugar, because the landlords in sist on Corn-laws, and, insisting on Corn-laws, are obliged to support the restrictions on the importa tion of sugar. The little farmers, therefore, who grow fruit, are sacrificed by the blind cupidity of the landlords, who support a monstrous system of restriction on every branch of industry. The proofs, however, that the farmers suffer from the system are now pouring in on us. At the Lewes wool fair, held on Tuesday, the following statement was made, and it should induce the Sussex flock masters to doubt whether the can injure the manufacturer of Yorkshire with impu nity : _ _ The proposed alteration in the duties on coffee has caused almost universal dissatisfaction among the trade in the city ; and, when the question is understood, cannot fail to meet even with more de cided hostility from all but one class throughout the country. By this alteration the duty on West India Colonial coffee is to be reduced from 6d. to 5d., while that on coffee imported from the East Indies is to remain at 9d., or about 80 per cent. in favour of the West India planters. After all that has been done for this class—after the people of this country have liberally indemnified them for the manu mission of the slaves by the enormous grant of 20 millions sterling, and their sugar is admitted on the small duty of 241. the cwt., while Foreign sugar pays 635., the public may naturally ask, " Is there to be no end to this favouritism ?" At the pre sent moment, too, this uncalled for partiality is peculiarly ill-timed. The middle classes, but chiefly the poor, are suffering greatly from the late enormous rise in two of the great necessaries of life—tea and sugar ; and it was, there fore, the bounden duty of the Government to have seized this opportunity of showing some regard for their sufferings by lowering th e d uty on all coffee—the only substitute for tea. But independent of this, the Government are dealing unfairly with another class—the importers of East India Coffee—who have very properly drawn up a remonstrance, which they are to present this after noon to the President of the Board of Trade. It has been in a few days most numerously sign 'd, and so glaring is the injustice, and so little mercy is shown in the present severe times to the people, that we cannot doubt for a moment that it will have the desired effect. Mr. LABOUCHERE, however, ought to do something more. Were the duty on all coffees lowered fifty per cent., the revenue would not suffer, and a great blessing would be conferred on the starving poor. We extract the following just remarks on the subject from the Morning Advertiser : The usual loyal toasts were drunk, after which the healths of the wool buyers were given. Mr. Elkington, in acknowledging the toast, said that the market was much depressed, but from what cause he could not explain. They were willing to buy at a fair market price. Mr. Legg, another buyer, said a variety of circumstances com bined had depressed the market. In the first place, a great quantity of the German wools was in the hands of consignees; and at the German fairs there was a reduction on wools from Is. 10d. per lb. to Is. 2d. A very great portion of old wool remained in the hands of the growers of this country, and he had witnessed with regret the ex traordinary state of the manfacturing interests, in conse quence of the reduction in the price of the raw material and manufactured goods. In one town in Yorkshire there were eighty failures in less than nine months. If growers would keep the wool it would depress the market, and he was satisfied that those who held it longest would expe rience the greatest loss. In 1829, in consequence of a pressure on the market, wool was reduced to 6d. per pound ; and in 1827, good Down fleeces were bought at 9d. Circumstances over which they had no control combined to depress the market. price which the Advices from Constantinople , dated the Ist of July, Sixpence a pound, then, is the wool-growers may soon expect to receive for their have reached us.

The policy of the late Mr. Huskisson, and of the Right Hon. P. Thomson, the Governor-General of the Canadas, has been to reduce duties upon all imports, in order to in crease consumption, and at the same time the revenue. It appears to us. therefore, to be a new doctrine that one species of article should be favoured in point of taxation, and another exposed to an unbearable inequality. We are of opinion that every article of produce coming fairly under the decision of the Government or the Legislature, should have fair play, excepting foreign productions, and that the people should be left to themselves to judge whether they preferred the one or the other.

Alderman Copeland said that he was induced to give the p: ironer in charge, In consequence of a representation that had been made to him on his arrival in town this inerning. The prisonet had been in his sersie- about three months, as warehouseman, and it was his duty to hand over to the clerk appointed Nr that purpose all moneys taken for goods that he might dispose of. He should have done so instantly. On the 15th instant, Mrs, Booth, of Red Lion-square, sent her maid-servant to pur chase a hell dozen of plates, for which she had paid the prisoner the sum in question, and which he appropriated to his own use. As there were about forty servants in the establishment, he considered it a justice due to them, as well as to the public, to direct the prisoner to be appre hended on the charge. Sophia Sydney, servant to Mrs. Booth, identified the prisoner as the person who, on the day in question, be tween clever, and twelve o'clock, sold her the plates, for which she paid him 95., and for which he gave her no receipt. There was no person present when she paid him the money. Mre George Gerret, a clerk in the establishment cf the prosecutors, proved that it was the duty of the prisoner to hand over all moneys he might receive for goods, to have it regularly entered in a book. Witness was not absent from the establishment on the 15th instant, and the book prc duced was kept by him, in which there was no entry made of the money in question. No other person could have received the money, as the other clerk and witness's father were absent, and in consequence of an application that had been made yesterday, the prisoner, who had been dis charged since Monday last for other reasons, was taken into custody. The prisoner heg on other occasions imme diately accounted for money on receiving it, as no person in the service is allowed to keep a cash-book. Tne prisoner said that on former occasions, when he was employed by the same firm, the porters were suffered to hold money in their hands two or three days. Witness said that might have been the case two years back, before he became clerk, but never since. The prisoner begged leave to say that he was guilty, and he expected that mercy would be shown to him by Al derman Copeland sod his partner. Mr. Ilaen said he would not hold him down by such a statement, as he had sot been previously cautioned as to the consequences of making it. The prisoner repeated that lie was guilty, and he threw himself upon the clemency of his late employers. Mr. FALL said that if the prosecutors overlooked such an offence, there was every reason to suppose they would be treated in a similar manner by their other servants, who were very numerous. The prisoner, who then appeared much affected, ex pressed a wish that he should be placed in another situa tion, where by his future good conduct he would prove how penitent he was for the off nee he bad committed. Mr. HALL said it was his duty to cnmmit him for trial, and it would be for the Court to attend to such an appli cation. Tne prisoner having signed his declaration was removed from the bar. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THIS DAY. John Collins, who has been twice remanded, was again brought up for examination on the charge of being con cerned in robbing Mr. Gilbert Claud° Alzard, a foreign gentleman of property, of eleven notes for 1,000 francs each, while on board one of the Gravesend steam-bo .ts It will be rem , mbered that John Davis, the landlord of fte Clown public-house in Cranbourne-passage, Leicester .quare, was also charged with having passed four of the stolen notes on the morning of the robbery, and held to bail, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, to ap pear when called on to ansa er any charge that might be preferred against him. This day he was accordingly called on his recognizences, but did not appear. Mr. Clarkson, who attended on the part of the prosecu tion, prayed for an estreat of Davis's recognizance. Mr. LONG, the presiding Magistrate, ordered the estreat forthwith. Mr. Alzard gave some further evidence relative to the identification of the notes that had been traced. Mr. LONG said that he had made up his mind to commit the prisoner on the evidence already adduced ; but, after some conversation with Mr. Clarkson, it was arranged that the prisoner should be remanded until Monday, the 10th of August next, in order to allow further time for inquiry, and also to endeavour to re-apprehend Davis ; and the Magistrate, not considering the evidence against Conolly sufficient, ordered him to be discharged. Orving to an accident in the printing of The Sun of Wednesday evening, some words do not appear in the Advertisement of the " London and Derby Railway," which should have been, after the word " Hull," "by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, via Hampton and Derby." DEATH OF THE MOTHER OF THE LATE REV. EDWARD lavnia.—Mrs. Irving, relict of the late Ga vin Irving, Esq., and mother of the late Rev. Edward Irving, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Robert Dickson, Esq., at Coplaw-hill, near Glasgow, on the 9th of July, at the ad vanced age of 76. Her remains were conveyed to the family vault at Annan, Dtmfriesshire. The number of Spanish refugees who have con sented to enter the French service for Africa is much smaller than was expected : out of 30,000, not 1,000 had entered themselves at the date of the last accounts, but it was supposed that the number would soon increase, as the Government had given orders for assistance and encouragement to such persons willing to enter the service, and withheld them from the other. SUMMONS FOR POORS'-RATES.—INIPORTANT TO MANUFACTURERS.-At the County Police Court, Heaton Norris, yesterday (Friday), Mr. Samuel Richardson, manager of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank at Manchester, and Mr. William Rhind, manager of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank at Stockport, appeared to show cause why they refused to pay the sum of 129/. 10s. 6d. arrears of Poors'-rates, awing by the above Banking Company, on account of the extensive cotton mill and premises lately occupied by Messrs. Brown and Powell, in Heaton Norris. Some time since 'Messrs. Brown and Powell, who occupied the premises quest on, became bankrupts, and a considerable amount being owing to the Banking Company, the whole of the ma chinery fell into their hands, an the works were shortly after wards stopped ; but, the greater part of the machinery still re mains on the premises, the whole being actually in the posses sion of the Banking Company, and the Pours'-rates, amounting to the above suns, not being forthcoming, the defendants, as representatives of the Banking Company, were summoned for the amount. the defence set up was, that only part of the pre mises were occupied, and what was occupied was unproductive, their de 7- the machinery being all standing.

BISHOP STANLEY.—Our readers will find in another part of our paper a verbatim report of a very liberal and excellent sermon, preached by th e t ru l y aposto li c Bi s h op of this dio cese, i n the church of St. Mary Tower, Ipswich, un Thursd a y l ast, i n aid of the funds of the SuffOlk Clerical Charity. Every man of sound Christian feeling and enlight ened opinion, whether he be Dissenter or Churchman, must be highly gratified with the sentiments expressed by the Lord Bishop in his discourse. Well may his Lordship be regarded with love and admiration ; for never, we believe, has any Esta blished Church in this or any other country, possessed a brighter ornament in one of its dignitaries. Churchmen will do well to imitate our revered diocesan, and to look at their Church in the same unprejudiced—may we not say impartial light—in which Dr. Stanley views it, when he says that " That Church may have its blots, its specks, and its failings—where is the institution or the denomination that is pure and faultless? How can it be otherwise ? Our Church claims no infallibility —God forbid that it ever should! It declares that Church after Church is erring. And why? • Forasmuch as the Council which legislates for them be an assembly of men, whereof all be not governed by the spirit and word of God." In the face of the intolerant and the bigoted, his Lordship from the pulpit declares, is the language of Luther, that "Conscience is bound by the word of God"—and glories in the fact that the early reformers, our Cranmers and our Latimers, took their stand upon the Bible, and the Bible alone, denying the right of those who had previous to and at that time lorded it over conscience, denouncing the infallibility of human authority, and opening the Bible to the knowledge of the people, that they might judge for themselves. Then, as if addressing himself to our Dissenting brethren, " One comment only," observes his Lordship, " would I make on this Protestant privilege of judging for ourselves. Let us be well aware of the responsibility it imposes upon us.. Let us earnestly seek, in the exercise of it, to cast aside all prejudice, all self-in terest, all pre-conceived partiality for this party or that party of the religious world, or the pride or passions of our mortal nature, and to cleave to truth, and to truth only, as our end, our aim, and object." Had we more Bishop Stanleys in the Church of England, she would present a far different spectacle to what she does at this moment : love and attachment towards her would then supersede the Contrary passions, and she would shine as the bi ightest jewel of the empire. —Ipswich Express. NOTIONS OF COMFOHT.—i went once with Mathews over Warwick Gaol, and when we came to the " place of execution," he observed to the gaoler, that consi dering the extent of the country, and the number of executions which might take place, the drop struck him as being very small. " I don't know," said the man. " To be sure, six 'oud be crowded, but foive 'oud hang very comfortable. " Bison's " Stage." On Friday, as the Hope coach, between Bury and Yarmouth was passing through Beccles, in consequence of the horses taking fright at a dark spot in the road having the ap pearance of blood, it was overturned, and several passengers injured. One passenger, the wife of Mr. Thomas F,lven, late butcher, of Stradbrooke, in this county, who was wtthher hus band on their return f rom Yarmouth, was so much injured or, the brain that she died the following day. There were four residents of this town on the coach a' the time—Mr Deck (postmaster), Mr. Watson, Guildhall-street, and Mrs. Birth and (laughter ; the former had one of his arms broken, the three latter were totally unhurt.
