Varitanuntarp tirocabings. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Coroners' Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY opposed the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. A short discussion ensued, which termnated in a divi sion fatal to the bill. It was rejected by a majority of 31 to 7. The Intercourse with China Bill was read a second Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Scotch Universities Bill. The Earl of H ADDINGTON opposed the bill, which was eventually negatived without a division. Several bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY The Irish Poor Law Amendment Bill passed through committee --....—. The Theatres Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed. Several other bills were also forwarded a stage. 1 On the motion of the house resolving itself into a com mittee of supply, Mr. EIVART moved the following resolution it is expedient that the principles and suggestions con tained in the evidence taken before the Import Duties Committee of session 1840, be carried into effect, and that the trade and industry of the country required further and more effectual relief by the removal or ;gduction of reties which press on the raw material of maNtiifactures, and on articles of interchange with foreign nations, as well as on the means of subsistence of the people." Mr. M. GIBSON the amendment. Mr. BRIGHT made his maiden speech in support of the motion, contending that it was requisite to take every op portunity of urging those principles in that house, in which the rich were represented too well, and the poor too little. _ . . On a division, the motion was negatived by a majority of 52 to 25. _ _ . On the motion that the Speaker should leave the chair to go into committee, The house then went into committee. The sum of £821,000 was voted for the expenses of the war with China. Several other votes in supply were also agreed to—one, a vote of £5OOO for the Caledonian Canal, led to some discussion, and a division, when the vote was carried by a majority of 137 to 13. The house then resumed, leave to sit again on Wednesday On bringing up the report Relief Bill, Mr. MACKINNON said he was instructed by persons connected with the West Indies to make a strong remon strance against the bill, as taxing the whole community for the benefit of a few individuals. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the loss in consequence of the earthquake, this money was intended to relieve, was partly public and partly private, and could not be apportioned. After a short conversation the report was brought up. The third reading of the Irish Arms Bill was fixed for twelve o'clock, Wednesday, and the house adjourned. and the committee obtained Of the West India Island HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY The Earl of RODEN presented a petition, signed by 5,000 protestants of the county of Down, and complain ing, that while processions and meetings of the Roman Catholics for the repeal of the union were tolerated, they bad been severely punished for celebrating the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne; and calling upon their lord ships to take into consideration the dangers to which the Irish Protestants were exposed from an agitation which, they feared, would result in civil war. The noble lord urged the injustice of carrying out the law prohibiting party processions in all its rigour against the few orange men who had ventured to transgress it, while immense multitudes, assembling with banners bearing mottoes and emblems of sedition, and marching in array to the sound of military music, were indulged in with complete impunity. Let the law either be put in force, without distirction, or not at all. At any rate, let it not be strained to coerce a body of men who, under circumstances of great irritation, bad manifested most creditable forbearance. With re spect to the danger to which the petitioners believed them selves to be exposed, he was convinced that theirs was no unfounded alarm. They were at least justified in such an apprehension when they saw a vast portion of the popula tion drilled until they rivalled the regularity of veteran troops, and implicitly obeying the commands of their leaders, who openly professed their determination to carry repeal either by fair means or by force, and promised to their followers deliverance from the yoke of the Saxons. He augured unfavourably, too, from the circumstance that a much smaller number of reapers than usual had come to this country in search of employment, from the presence of a number of foreigners in Ireland, and from the close connexion of the Roman Catholic hierarchy with the repeal movement, and expressed the general disap pointment with which the Irish Protestants had re marked the absence of activity- and -energy in the go vernment to repress this agitation. He acknowledged aWI gratitude the excellent disposition of military torce to meet any sanguinary outbreak, but regretted that no mea sures had•been employed to enlist the support of all who would associate to preserve tranquility. The apathy of the government had driven many, who were otherwise well inclined, to swell the repeal ranks, but he trusted that it would now endeavour to retrieve its errors, He approved the conduct of former Viceroys in calling out the yeomanry, and after an earnest appeal for protection to the loyal Protestants of Ireland, concluded by praying, in accordance with the petition, that the law relating to processions might either be repealed or brought into ge neral operation. The Duke of WELLINGTON confessed, that the evils and inconveniences attending the present state of affairs in Ireland had been by no means exaggerated ; but after paying a well deserved compliment upon their loyal for bearance to the orangemen of the north, proceeded to ex plain, that the act, the operation of which they were called on to extend, had reference only to meetings or processions in commemoration of anniversaries to which either a religious or political character was attached, and could not, consequently, be held to include those at which the repeal of the union was discussed. It might be asked, " Why not, then, extend its provisions ?" But, although admitting the evils which the present criminal agitation had inflicted, and most anxious to put an end to them— aware, too, of the responsibility of government for its omissions as well as its acts—he did not think it desirable to state what were its intentions further than to explain that in his own department every thing that could be done bad been done to enable it to preserve the peace of the country, and to meet all misfortunes and consequences which may result from the violence of the passions of those men who unfortunately guide the multitude in Ire land. He disputed neither the extent of the conspiracy, the dangers to be expected from it, nor the assistance it bad derived from foreigners; but he felt confident that, from the measures adopted, the government would be able to resist every attempt against the public peace, and he believed it better, therefore, to persevere in its present course, and to employ no other precautions until they should become absolutely necessary. The Earl of WINCHELSEA and the Earl of WICKLOW approved the conduct of the Government in abstaining from coercive measures ; but the Marquis of CLANRI GARDE, although joining in this expression of approba tion, was anxious to hear what ministers expected as the result of the present state of affairs in Ireland. An Irish Government should have no other objects than to receive constabulary reports, and as nothing yet had been effected, he hoped that next session something would be done with the view of improving the condition of the population. Lord BROUGHAM made an able speech in support of the Government, the principal points in which will be found in other columns of our paper. The debate then concluded. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY Mr. HUME recurred to the frauds in the Customs, which be believed bad been to the extent of millions per annum. The fault lay in the improper selection of com missioners, who, instead of being chosen from a class of persons acquainted with the business, and capable of duly superintending it, were appointed merely from interest. He moved an address to the Crown for the production of the evidence appended to the report. Mr. FORSTER seconded the motion, and Mr. Wit,- LTAIts supported it. Mr. GOULBOURN agreed that publication, when the proper time for it should come, would do great good ; but to publish now would be to defeat the prosecutions. The attention of government was anxiously directed to the circumstances stated in the report ; and every precaution that human means could include, would be taken against the recurrence of similar malversations. Mr. HUME finally withdrew his motion. Mr. DUNCOMBE afterwards moved for the public entry of the orders in the minute-books to be kept in the Long Room, and for the printing and publication, on theist day in each month, of all new or der s ma de in the month pre ceding. Mr. Got LBORN assented to the first part of the motion, but resisted the second, which, on a division, was re jected. After some further business of no interest, it was ob served, a little after four, that there were not forty mem bers present. The house was accordingly counted out. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY The house met at twelve o'clock. The British Iron Company Bill was read a second time. The Coalwhippers Bill passed through committee, after considerable discussion. Sir R. PEEL said, it was not the intention of the go vernment to repeal the act preventing religious proces sions in Ireland during the present session. The act would expire at the close of the next session of parliament, and of course the government would consider whether it was necessary to give it a more extended operation. For his own part be would feel great pleasure when the time should come rendering such an act wholly unnecessary. Mr. GnoGAN said, that at one of the multitudinous meetings which had recently taken place in Ireland, it bad been stated, either at the meeting or the dinner which took place subsequent to it, that there had been some negotiations between Lord Eliot and the authorities of Ma ynooth College, with reference to an increased grant to Maynooth. HelfishM to know whether the noble lord had any objection to lay the correspondence on the subject before the house? Lord ELIOT said, he had never made a statement to induce any one to believe that the grant would be increased. In saying this be wished to be understood as merely oa. ting a fact, and tivt caprcning an opinion, Mr. SMYTHE inquired, whether any application had been made to the government to discharge the debts of Maynooth College? - Lord ELIOT said, that shortly after the present govern ment came into office, a memorial was presented to the ministry by Roman Catholic prelates, praying for a grant to discharge the debts of Maynooth ; and in the course of last autumn he received a communication from the secretary of the trustees of Maynooth College, which he considered a private communication. Therefore, without the authority of the party who sent it him, he could not lay a copy of that communication on the table. He had called the attention of his right hon. friend at the head of the government to that communication, but had taken no other step. Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved the second reading of the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill, the object of which was to compel the landlord to make allowances or com pensation to the tenant for the improvements on his land. Sir R. PEEL said, he hoped that the hon. gentleman would not ask the government to come to any decision now upon the subject. Whatever course the government might think it necessary to take respecting the subject of landlord and tenant in Ireland, it was most important that nothing should be left in a state of vagueness or un certainty, but ample time should be afforded for the con sideration of its details. The government had already directed that a careful review should be made respecting the law in England and Ireland as regarded landlord and tenant. They, however, had no intention whatever to interfere with the just and legitimate rights of property, by introducing any measure which could recognise what was called fixity of tenure. He felt that he was bound to discourage all such delusive hopes; but, at the same time, nothing should deter the government from giving that consideration to the subject which its great impor tance demanded. He was not now prepared to give any opinion upon the bill. _ . Mr. CRAWFORD thanked Sir R. Peel for his pledge to take the question into his consideration, and should now ask leave to withdraw the bill. The bill was then withdrawn. Sir C. NAPIER said, he thought it his duty to bring under the consideration of the house the conduct of the Governor of St. Kitt's, in throwing overboard a young midshipman for refusing to land the Governor at Basterre. The hon. and gallant officer then proceeded to enter at some length upon the matter, attaching blame to the con duct of the Governor. Lord STANLEY entered into a counter statement con demnatory of the conduct of the captain of the steam packet, who ought to have shown some share of civility to the passengers, and more particularly to a dying lady, who was conveyed on board by the Governor himself. It was not very surprising that the want of respect to the Governor on the part of the captain should be copied by those under his command, and he therefore attached little blame to the midshipman. Lord ELIOT moved the third reading of the Arms (Ire land) Bill. Lord CLEMENTS moved as an amendment that it should be read a third time that day six months. Captain BE&N AL seconded the amendment. Mr. D'Isn.AELI said, that Sir R. Peel had left his party without a guide as to his course of policy with respect to Ireland. He had obtained power in consequence of Lord Stanley's Registration Bill, and having obtained that power, he then turned round and virtually allowed that the former government was right in opposing the very Registration Bill of Lord Stanley, which he had himself supported. The consequence was, that having left his party in the lurch, they were now in the position of sup porting leaders without knowing the principles upon which they were acting. The present government was acting as if Ireland were a theatre, and the repeal agitation a Giver lissement got up for the purpose of entertainment, and which was to close at the termination of the session. This do-nothing policy, this paralysis of statesmanship, was, he understood, to be attributed to a dissension in the cabinet, a state of affairs from which nothing could be expected, for Ireland required some great man to take decisive steps to bring forward immediately some great remedial measures. The present measure he viewed as contemptible, and the opposition to it equally so, and he should therefore give no vote upon the question. Mr. SHEIL called upon the house to contrast the pre sent state of Ireland with its condition under the influ ence of a whiz administration, and said, that even at the period of Catholic emancipation the country was by no means so excited as it was at the present moment. He saw no reason to think that the agitation would subside, supported as it was by the Catholic clergy, who were gra tuitously vilified as a low and degraded class in the other house of parliament. He suggested the policy of appor tioning glebe-houses and glebe-lands to the Catholic cler gy, whicn would create a sentiment of reciprocal sustain rnent between the Catholic church and the state. Sir R. PEEL wished to separate the consideration of the Arms bill, from the consideration of the general question of the state of Ireland, with which it had nothing to do, for the Arms Bill was framed in the last session ofParlia. ment before the agitation in Ireland assumed its present aspect. The opponents of the bill had themselves sup ported a more stringent measure when brought forward by the late administration, which was a proof that there was something in the state of Ireland which called for a different legislation from that which was applied to Eng land. Ile disclaimed all idea of offering any insult to Ire land ; he was only anxious to give greater security to life acid property in that country. Neither did he propose un equal legislation for the two countries except so far as the circumstances of each were in themselves unequal. He viewed the state of affairs in Ireland with deep and anxious solicitude. • He thought that the asperities arising from religious differences in that country were fast melting away, and that a better and more wholesome state of things was fast arising; but the agitation which had arisen threatened to defeat all his most ardent aspirations. In reference to the suggestion of Mr. Sbeil, as to giving glebe-houses and glebe-lands to the Catholic clergy, he asked how far such a suggestion was consistent with Mr. Sheil's intention of supporting the motion made a short time since by Mr. Ward respecting the redistribution of the property of the Irish Church. No such compromise was then talked of; on the contrary, they were told that nothing short of the re-distribution .proposed would sq tisfy the people of Ireland, and yet now it was suggested that a much more modified measure would be accepted. The right hon. baronet concluded by stating that nothing should be left undone by the government which could tend to preserve the integrity of the empire. The house divided : For the third reading 125 Against it 59 Majority The bill was then read a third time, and passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. .--_...0.-- HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIIRSDAY Lord BROUGHAM surprised the House of Lords by bringing forward, without, as he announced, any commu nication with government, a modified form of the Coer cion Bill, by which, as he boasted, he had succeeded in preserving the public peace in Ireland in 1833. An attempt to seduce the non-commissioned officers of the army from their allegiance was the immediate reason for this somewhat extraordinary step. Lord WICKLOW expressed his extreme gratification at the re-introduction of a measure which should from the first have been made permanent ; but Lord CAMPBELL, considering the bill as clearly one of coercion, opposed it as unnecessary, and objected, moreover, that it should have emanated from the responsible advisers of the cro wn . _ _ ... ..- .......... After a few words from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, the hill passed its first stage. The Earl of LUCAN then, in moving for papers respect ing the circumstances under which he had been removed from the commission of the peace for the county of Mayo, entered into an explanation of his conduct, and com plained, apparently with much justice, of the treatment he had experienced at the hands of the Lord Chancellor for Ireland. _ _ Lord WHARNCLIFFE assented to the production of the papers, but declined giving any immediate opinion. Lord BBOUGHAM, however, did not hesitate to express his sympathy with Lord Lucan, and several noble Lords concurred in strong expressions of indignation at the harshness with which he had been treated. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY Mr. GLADSTONE rose to move the second reading of the bill for removing the remaining restraints on the ex portation of machinery. He would not now deal with ab stract dogmas of political economy, but would call on the house to look at the question in a mere practical view. lie explained that the same principles which sanction the exportation of manufactured goods, sanction equally the exportation of machinery for manufacturing them ; and pointed out that though foreigners might thus be enabled to produce commodities a little more cheaply, yet there was hardly any article of export whereof so large a pro portion of the price consisted in the wages of domestic labour, perhaps 80 or 90 per cent. He cited the authority of parliamentary committees in favour of these principles. It was to be regretted that such a bill had not been pro posed some years ago, for the Belgians had now, by the aid of our tools and of our artizans, begun to produce ma chinery, not only for their own use, but for third markets. Such, however, were the advantages enjoyed by England that she would soon be able to overcome all competition. Meanwhile the exportation could only be by license from government, and, however fairly and impartially the licensing were conducted, suspicions would always arise that favour was granted or withheld according to the greater or less interest of the applicants. Not only was the existing law extensively evaded by piecemeal exporta tion, but it furnished arguments to other states for main taining their own laws of commercial exclusion ; nor would the general manufacturer be a loser by the exporta tion of machines; he would always have the advantage of being nearest to the spot where machines were construct ed, and thus of saving in the cost of carriage and procu ring the earliest improvements. Some might urge a spe cial objection to the exportation of machines for the flax and linen manufactures, on account of the prohibition of those particular manufactures in some great continental markets ; but he would not on that account except these machines from the general relaxation he proposed. Mr. lIINDLEY thought that these extreme doctrines of free trade were strange inconsistencies in a Ministry which had turned out the preceding government for merely approaching the free trade principle. Before the passing of so important a bill, there ought to have been a select committee, with the President of the Board of Trade in the chair. It was a mistake to suppose that prevented;gldinbethmisaldineewciotiulnldutnoittsbebeinfuily knnoowmna.chlii govern ment would repeal n sm er u y gg c l o in u ject to such a bill as thi s, t b h a e t c l o ie rn c l o a n w ld g s, n he at w e o a u n ld se n n o t t ta ob i - t t rn u l r l e r e s m . p IHo y e , the present. while that stone was left round the neck f s of the manufac nmoacslgcnhe relief were now in believedand wanted the This was the most important bill of t he session,the ministers were proposing to read it a second tainmde)o-ent the 10th of August. He glued, as an amendment, that THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD a select committee should be appointed to consider the subject Mr. S. WORTLEY thought that this bill came rather late, but that the facts stated, and the policy for some time past pursued by the Board of Trade, now left little for the sake of which it could be worth while to fight against such a bill. The hon. member spoke at some length. but with so many conditions and qualifications, that the general drift of his argument was not very evi dent, though he finished by intimating his acquiescence in the measure. Mr. LABOUCHERE would gladly support the abrogation of the last prohibition which now deformed the statute book. The subject had already been sufficiently sifted by committees.. Mr. Hindley was a great free trader, pro vided you did not touch machinery; all men were free traders in all articles, except those on which their own trade depended. He confirmed Mr. Gladstone's opinion, that the existing restrictions had formed a grievous stum bling-block to our commercial negotiations with foreign states, and expressed his disapproval both of the general principle of export duties, and of the system of exception by licenses. He was glad that the government, instead of resorting to the expedient which some recommended, of an export duty upon machinery, had boldly freed its exportation from all restraint. As long as we could keep England the great machine mart of the world, the valuable inventions of foreigners would be brought hither. For such inventions the Americans had made themselves pre eminent. Sir R. PEEL took this opportunity of stating, in order that France and Belgium might hear, the testimony of a great linen merchant at Belfast, who had declared the French and Belgian tariffs to have so cheapened British linen that British linen had expelled the linens of France and Belgium from the markets of all the other continen tal countries. The advantage enjoyed by the British ma nufacturer in his proximity to the machine-makers would always continue to compensate him for the consequences of the exportation of machinery. The house then divided— For the second reading .... 96 Against it lB Majority for it On the motion that the Speaker should leave the chair for the committee on the Scotch Church Benefices Bill, Mr. P. STEWART rose against the measure. H e depre cated the haste with which it was pressed on, even before there had been time for the legislature to learn what opi nion had been expressed upon it by the Commission of the General Assembly, who had met on the 9th of this month, and whose sentiments would have been known in forty eight hours more. This bill was denounced by the highest legal authorities in the House of Lords, and by many of the most influential clergy of the kirk. He then entered into some of the legal details of the subject, which he relieved by a poetical passage about the mountains and valleys of the Scotch, and the graves of their fathers. To this government, at the end of their worse than useless session, he would apply the old lines— " Your faults, they are but two— There's nothing good you say, There's nothing right you do." He moved that the bill should be committed on that day six months. Mr. H UME seconded the amendment. Sir J. GRAHAM implored the house, for the sake of the peace of Scotland and the consolidation of her church, to pass this bill. It was in strict unison with the great Presbyterian principle of non-intrusion, rightly interpre ted. Much reliance was placed on the opinion of certain law lords ; but all the mischief had arisen from their having stepped out of their way to express doubts on a point not strictly before them. This was a bill for re moving those doubts, which was here done partly in a declaratory and partly in an enacting form. The bill was not be treated merely as Lord Aberdeen's ; it was the bill of the united cabinet, and the fruit of the utmost delibe ration. It had been drawn by the Lord Advocate, a law yer second to none. Unless it was passed, the secession, so much deplored, was likely to be carried much further. Mr. COLLETT said he would support the bill ; for, as he had voted for a free trade in corn, and a free trade in ma chinery, he must vote for a free trade in parsons ! The house divided— For the committee.. For the amendment .. Majority for the committee —3l The bill then went through committee, and several other bills were forwarded a stage.

On Tuesday last a public meeting was held at Watton, for the purpose of fottning a Hertfordshire Auxiliary to the Church Pastoral Aid Society. The meeting was held on the beautiful lawn in front of the Rectory House of the Rev. E. Bickersteth. Seats were provided for all, and a commodious awning was erected over the space required for the meeting to protect those assembled from the rays of the sun. Amongst the clergy present were the Revs. E. Bicker steth, F. J. Faithful, L. Deedes, Hibbs, Green, Maitland, Birks, Olive, Auriol, &c. Many ladies from various parrs of the county also attended. The effect of the scene was much heightened by the presence of a large number of the Rev. Mr. Bickersteth's poor parishioners. whose attach ment to their revered pastor, and love of his ministrations, induced them to attend the meeting. The proceedings having been opened by prayer, the Rev. F. J. Faithful was called to the chair, and briefly addressed the meeting. The Rev. E. Bickersteth, in a short speech, stated the object of the meeting, viz., to form a Hertfordshire Aux iliary to the Church Pastoral Aid Society, which, he said, required the most strenous support. The formation of this auxiliary was attended with much promise, £l4O hav ing been already subscribed towards it. The Rev. E. Auriol proposed the following resolution : "That the design, constitution, and proceedings of the Church Pastoral Aid Society have the cordial approbation of this meeting. The Rev. Mr. Olive briefly seconded the resolution, remarking, that amongst all the religious societies, he knew not one so well calculated as the Church Pastoral Aid Society, to supply the spiritual wants of the home population. The resolution was then put from the chair, and agreed to unanimously. The Rev. E. Bickersteth said it gave him great pleasure to meet his friends on so interesting an occasion, and in seeing so many of his own parishioners around him ; and it was also exceedingly pleasing that his own parish was privileged to be the centre of the Hertfordshire Auxiliary to the Church Pastoral Aid Society. There were already so many societies that met at Hertford, and he had recei ved so much pleasure from the open air meetings they had had at his dear brother Faithfull's at Hatfield, that he thought they might derive equal pleasure from the one held at Watton. What was the object they had in view? Let them look at that beautiful church (pointing to Wat ton Church). Seven or eight hundred years ago there was no Church at Watton, and the people were living in neglect of God ; hut there were some good people who cared for Watton, and 'Pilo established Christian wor ship there. This too was the object of the Church Pasto ral Aid Society (cheers). After a few other observations, the reverend gentleman concluded by moving the follow ing resolution :—"That an association be now formed, to be called the Watton and Herts Auxiliary Church Pasto ral Aid Society." The Rev. B. Maitland seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. The meeting shortly afterwards separated. About £4,600 bas been subscribed towards building a church and school-room, at the Swindon Station of the Great Western Railway. The sittings in the Church are to be entirely free. Two converted Jews were on Friday last baptised in the parish church of Cheltenham, by the Rev. Paul Louis Sandford, himself also a converted Jew, and lately or dained a minister of the Church of England. The parishes in England and Wales are returned as 10,698. The churches are considerably more numerous, probably about 12,000 in all.—Church of England Maga zine. The Rev. Robert Montgomery, M.A., Minister of St. Jude's Church, Glasgow. has been appointed to the mi nistry of Percy Chapel, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, London. ANCIENT BRITISH CHURCH IN LONDON.—Natives of Wales will be gratified to learn that this very desirable object has at length been attained, through the efforts of the Earl of Powis and the Committee. The chapel in Ely-place, Holborn-hill, has been purchased, and will be opened for divine service, in the Welsh language, at the end of next month. The Rev. W. B. Stoney declares that the charity ser mon to be preached at Castlebar Church on Sunday week in behalf of the parochial schools, containing three hun dred children, was prevented by the violent clamour of the repeal masses drowning every attempt to address the congregation. At the evening service the church was nearly empty from the same cause. The Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, of St. John's Cha pel, Bedford-row, London, and Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen, preached in the High Church, here, on Sab bath morning week. '!'he well-known talents and elo quence of Mr. Noel, and the singular circumstance of a clergyman of the Church of England preaching in a Presbyterian church, attracted a crowded congregation. —lnverness Courier. The Lord Bishop of Cashel is about to get churches built in the parishes of Modeligo, Seskinane, Kilgobinet, Clonea, Kilronan, Aglish, Rathcormac, Kilbarrymeaden, Lisguinan, and Kilmolash, in the diocess of Lismore and County Waterford ; and when the rector does not reside, he must have a resident curate in the parish. The bishop very properly insists on having a resident clergyman in every parish in his diocess, no matter what the value of the living in. The Protestant Association, at a meeting held on Tues day, adopted a memorial, which has been signed by the president, vice-presidents, and other persons connected with the society, addressed to the archbishops and bishops of the united church of England and Ireland, directing their attention to the fearfully rapid spread of tractarian ism, and praying their lordships to exert their influence in suppressing its extension.

CLERGYMEN'S WIDOWS AND ORPHAN'S CHARITY. —The anniversary of the Warrington Charity for the Re lief of the Widows and Orphans of Clergymen who have officiated in the Archdeaconry of Chester, and its Branch Institution for the Education of the Daughters of Cler gymen who have officiated and are officiating with small incomes in this Archdeaconry, and other young persons training for schoolmistresses, was held on Th urs d ay l ast, at Warrin g t on . Th e Rev. R. Dnrnford, Rector of Mid dleton, preached on the occasion, from Galatians xvi, 10, a very apposite and eloquent discourse, and enforced the claims of this excellent charity in such pathetic language as touched the hearts of his hearers, for the collection in aid of the funds of the institution amounted to £5B 10s. We hope the sermon will be published for the benefit of the Charity, as requested. Nearly a hundred of the clergy and laity of the Archdeaconry dined together, after the business of the day, in the dining-hall of the Branch Institution. The Honourable and Reverend Horace Powys occupied the chair with his usual ability, in the absence of John Tollemache, Esq. M.P., and President of the year, who was engaged in attendance upon his par liamentary duties. The party separated at an early hour, highly gratified with the chaste and commodious edifice lately erected for so good an object, and the cheering prospects of the Charity. THE SCOTCH CHURCH.—The August Commission of the; Church met on Wednesday last, to con sider Lord Aberdeen's bill. A resolution was moved by Dr. Cook, approving generally of the bill, but objecting to the clause referring to " the number and character of the objectors." Principal Haldane moved, as an amend ment, that the Commission approve of the bill as it stands. After considerable discussion, Principal Haldane'l amend ment was carried by a majority of 61 to 33. THE COURT. It is said that a marriage is on the lapis between Lady Evelyn Leveson Gower, second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and Lord Blantyre. Sunday was the birthday of Queen Adelaide. Her Majesty was born in 1793, and has entered upon her fifty second year. The hon. member for the Jedburgh Burghs, J. M. Bal four, Esq., is about to be married to Lady Blanche Cecil, daughter of the Marquess of Salisbury. Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, and the Earl of Aberdeen, ar rived at Windsor Castle on a visit to the Queen on Wed nesday last. The Queen Dowager arrived at her new country resi dence, Witley Court, Worcestershire, on Wednesday. Her Majesty was coidially greeted by the inhabitants throughout the Royal progress. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO DEPTFORD DOCKYARD. — A few minutes before twelve o'clock on Tuesday, her majesty and Prince Albert having taken an affec tionate farewell of their royal relatives on board the Pluton, French government steamer at 'Woolwich, pro ceeded with her suite in five royal carriages and four to the dockyard, Deptford, for the purpose of inspecting the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht, which is preparing with the utmost despatch for her majesty's marine excursions. Her majesty was received by a guard of honour, consist ing of 100 rank and file of the royal marines. Her ma jesty carefully inspected the whole arrangements, fittings, and furniture, and expressed herself highly pleased (as did also his royal highness) with the taste displayed in con sulting her Majesty's convenience and comfort. Her Majesty was particularly gratified on inspecting the nur sery intended for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and his illustrious sisters. There are seven artists on board, painting the panels of the drawing-room, cabins, &c. There are also a number of skilful carvers and gilders embellishing the yacht, both internally and exter nally. Such was the secrecy observed, that no person knew of the royal visit twenty minutes before, except Sir John Hill, the captain superintendent. The good people of the ancient town of Deptford were taken by surprise, as her Majesty passed rapidly into the dockyard ere they were apprised of the fact. Her Majesty and suite de parted at half-past twelve for Buckingham Palace, es corted by a detachment of the 13th Light Dragoons. LAW INTELLIGENCE APPLEBY, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17 (Before Mr. Justice WIG HTMAN and a Special Jury.) BROUGHAM-HALL ESTATES.— ROBINSON V. BIRD AND HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY Lord BROUGHAM withdrew his bill for suppressing seditious speeches and meetings in Ireland, in order to ascertain if the Irish Arms Bill and an act passed by the Irish parliament, in 1797, would ILA conjointly produce the effect he contemplated to attain by his bill. The noble and learned lord said he was led to turn his attention to the subject by a speech of Mr. O'Connell's, the object of which would appear to be to seduce the sergeants of the army in Ireland from their allegiance: The Duke of WEELINGTON said he - had no fear what ever that the army would be seduced by any such at tempts. The noble duke shortly but strongly animad verted on the conduct of Mr. O'Connell. On the motion of Lord WFIAELNCLIFFE, the Theatres Regulation Bill went through committee. Their lordships adjourned soon after., ‘,„.: • HOUSE OF COMMONS.-liigi,Zy - - - --- • The report on the Coalwhippers Bill was brought up and agreed to ; the Factdrfes Bill went through commit tee ; Holyrood Park Bill was read a third time and passed ; the Exchequer Bills Bill was a read a second time, as was also the Consolidated Fund Bill ; the Ma chinery Exportation Bill, and the Militia Pay Bill, seve rally passed through committee. On - the third reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, Mr. C. BULLER moved that the clause relating to emigration should be omitted. Sir J. GRAHAM said that in the English poor law there was an emigration clause, and there was, therefore, nothing new in its being intr o d uce d i n t o the bill before the house. The bill was read a third time and passed. On the order of the day for going into committee on the Apprehension of Offenders (America) Bill, Mr. V. SMITH requested information respecting the provision relating to the surrender of fugitive slaves. He thought those slaves should not be given up without the sanction of the colonial secretary. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was desirous of affording every protection to the slave, but a fugitive slave might have been guilty of piracy, murder, or other crimes, in which case he should not be protected. Mr. MACAULAY said that the Attorney-General had not got rid of the difficulty. No country, and he might adduce India as an illustration, would surrender a fugi tive who was liable to undergo a punishment in another country which was revolting to its own usages. If a slave in Georgia killed his master in defence of his daughter's chastity, he was guilty according to the law of Georgia but not according to the law of England of the crime of murder, and thus also in other instances in which slaves were denied the rights of freemen. America had by the treaty of Washington conceded a principle which England was not disposed to abandon, and it would, in his opinion, be better not to give effect to this part of the treaty, but to deal with cases individually as they arose. Lord PALMERSTON wished to know if it was to be understood that the British government were now pre pared. should a vessel with a cargo of slaves be driven by stress of weather or any other cause into a British port, to recognise the principle that such slaves should be en titled to the rights of freemen. He also wished to know if British cruisers were henceforth to be absolutely pro hibited from destroying the slave barracoons on the coast of Africa. Lord STANLEY said there was no diference of opinion between the present and the late government as to the law of nations in reference to the destruction of slave bar racoons in the dominions of a neutral chief. Mr. Macau lay objected to any mutual right of extradition, which did not recognise at the same time mutual equality of condi tion and law. The common law of the United States, however, prohibited the surrender of fugitives, and every scoundrel and criminal could cross the Canadian frontier and elude the grasp of justice. It was for such a state of things that the treaty provided a remedy. With respe c t to the other question of the noble lord, he had to state that instructions had been sent out to the Bahamas to the effect that the authorities should, in all cases where they had credible testimony that slaves were detained on board an vessel against their will, at once afford them their protection, and allow them the benefits of British law. The late government had recognised the principle that fugitive slaves guilty of crimes of which there was suffi cient proof should be surrendered, and it was upon this very principle that the treaty proceeded ; and he believed it would be found more beneficial to Canada than to the United States, and it was to be remembered that there was a clause in the bill as well as in the treaty by which on a proper notice from either party the right of mutual surrender might be abandoned. The bill went through committee. The Apprehension of Offenders (France) Bill also went through committee. The Customs Bill was read a third time. IMPORTANT TO THE CUTLERY TRADE.-:-TWO cases came before the Sheffield bench of magistrates on Tues day last of great importance to the cutlery trade through out the kingdom. The informations are said to have been laid at the instigation of the Cutlers' Company, for the purpose of suppressing a practice which has prevailed in the cutlery trade, of putting the marks of superior articles on things of inferior value and quality. In the cases before the court, the knives, "which were made of cast iron, were marked " cast steel," and " shear steel," and this practice is in direct violation of an act of parliament, the 59th of Geo. 3, chap. 7. The first case gone into was against a Mr. Naylor. It appeared that on that morning about four gross of table blades were brought from Mr. Naylor's warehouse, which were marked shear steel ;" the master cutler stated on oath that he had, examined these blades arid found that they were made of_ i)ot.metal, the same kind as fire stoves were made of:Mr. Naylor said that the blades being thus marked were of no more advantage to him than if they had been marked by any other mark. The man who had ordered them to go to America, had got the invoice of them, and in that invoic e they were charged " cast blades." He himself derived no more profit from the spurious article than the genuine one. The next case heard was against a manufacturer of the name of Sanderson, from whose warehouse four grOss of sailor's or pocket-knive blades had been - procured, bearing the mark of " shear steel," which the m as t er cutlers said were made of cast metal. Another similar charge was made against the same person, of having up. wards of forty-two gross of blades marked " cast steel," which were not in reality of that article. The bench said they found the penalty upon Naylor was £417 10s, and upon Sanderson £1395 ; and the magistrates requested the master cutler to take the first opportunity of destroy ing the things forfeited, OTHERS In this case Sir T. Wilde, the Hon. Stuart Wortley, Mr. Roebuck, and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Knowles for the defendants. Mr. KNOWLES applied to have the case postponed, but it was decided to proceed with it. . . . Sir. T. WILDE • then stated the case. He had the ho nour on that occasion to attend on the part of the plaintiff. The action was brought for a trespass committed by the defendants, in having entered certain premises in the oc cupation of the plaintiff, and there seized a horse. To this charge the defendant had put in two answers. The first denied the trespass ; the second alleged, that if he did seize the mare, it was in his own stable. According to the ordinary course of legal proceedings, the party who laid claim to any species of property was bound to prove it. The defendants in the present case were bound to prove their title. It was the duty of the defendants on the present occasion to make out the plea that the stable belonged to one of the defendants, Thomas Bird. It seemed, however, that he did not intend to appear and make out his case. He would not, however, allow him to get off in that way. He had been imposing on the good nature of the people in that part of the country, and bor rowed money at all hands, on the pretence that he had some good claim to the Brougham-hall estates. He would, by the evidence which he should adduce, show conclusively that Lord Brougham was the legal possessor of the Brougham-hall estates, and that the defendants had no claim to them whatever. Lord Brougham had thought it necessary that that should be done, because it was pain ful to him to hear individuals were going up and down the country pretending that they had a title to his property. When a man had been in possession of a property for a long period, the law presumed his title to be good. The law presumed that no man would retain wrongful posses sion of his neighbour's property. The defendant Thomas Bird was desirous of compelling Lord Brougham to prove his title. But a man ought to have some ground or ap pearance of claim or title before he interfered with the propert) of another, or canting on him to prove his title. It was a most unreasonable and wanton thing that a man should be so put to prove his title ; and it was a particularly unjust thing to make a man prove his title to property which had been for a long time in his own possession. In the present case the title was perfectly clear. He was in a condition to show that from the very earliest period of English history, the Burghams, Browhams, or Broughams were in possession of this property. He would prove to them that Bird ex ecuted a conveyance of the property in question in favour of an ancestor of Lord Brougham in the year 1727; and, if necessary, give evidence to the time of Henry 11., that the estate belonged originally to the Brougham family. James Bird acquired some interest in the estate prior to 1726, whether as mortgagee, or in what other way, did not clearly appear. In 1726 James Bird, an attorney, was the owner of Brougham-hall, and of the demesnes and lands therewith connected. That person left two grand-daughters. These two sold the interest of the Birds to Lord Brougham's ancestor—his great great uncle, for £3OOO, and so brought back the estate that formerly be longed to the family. The defendant Thomas Bird had of late been begging and borrowing all over the country, affecting to have some claim or other to the property in question. He was, however, able to show no sort of relationship, nor title to the property. On the day in question, however, he came on Mr. Robinson's farm, and Adam Bird and John Irving, the auctioneer, obtruded themselves at the desire of Thomas Bird, and distrained on a mare. He left a notice of distress in the plaintiff's possession, stating that the mare was in the custody of the law, and would be sold if not replevied in a certain number of days. The defendants afterwards went and took possession of Brougham-hall. That was done pre meditatedly, and with the intention of compelling his lordship to take proceedings, and, no doubt, in the expec tation that he would submit to some gross extortion. The plaintiff, Mr. Robinson, was prepared to sustain his lordship's title. The defendants, however, should have raised that question in the proper way, as a man cannot try a title by coming and seizing for rent. He hoped that after hearing the evidence in support of what he had stated, they would give him a verdict, and to visit the defendants with the punishment which their conduct so well deserved. Thomas Robinson, examined by the Hon. Mr. WORT LEY.—I am the son of the plaintiff in this case, and live with him at Witherigg. On the 21st day of March last I remember Adam Bird, one of the defendants in this case, and Mr. Irving, another of the defendants, coming to my father's house. Irving is an auctioneer at Penrith. Adam Bird was a stranger to me. He was once at our house before ; I think in September last. I spoke to him when he came to our house in March last. I said, " You've come again, have you ?" He said, " Yes, I've come to schedule." He said he wished to have some young cattle to the value of £lO. He said it was for rent. I said he should move nothing so long as I could help it. My father shortly afterwards came home; perhaps about an hour or two afterwa r d s . I rv i ng and Adam Bird re mained in the house during that time, and were some times in and sometimes out of the house. After my father came back, he and they had some conversation to gether. I heard my father say to them they should have nothing. Adam Bird afterwards said they should have the gray mare. Irving was standing at the time looking on. I saw him write something before he left the house. He did not say what he was writing. It was on paper. It was something like the paper now shown to me that he wrote. The paper was afterwards left by him. Bird then went to the stable, and Irving came with him. Bird then went and touched the mare several times with his hand, saying he had " ticked" her. He gave me the paper now shown to me, and said if the mare was not replevied in five days, he would come and sell her. Irving scrat ched out the words " young cattle, £10," in the sche dule now shown to me, and inserted the words " Gray mare, £10." Bird had been at my father's house in September, 1842, and then left the paper now shown to me. On that occasion I said to him that I would not be likely to pay the rent to any person but the one who had formerly been in the habit of rece i v i ng i t. Lord Brougham was my father's landlord. George Taylor proved the notices not to pay the rent, and the notice of distress given to the plaintiff, to be in Thomas Bird's handwriting. Mr. Thomas Dobson Bleaymire, solicitor, Penrith, ex amined by Serjeant WlLDE. — lrving came to my office in Penrith on the subject of the distress. I called on him on the Saturday after the distress was made, to inquire when the sale was to take place. He told me that Adam Bird had left Penrith, and gone to Ashton-under-Lyne; and before any proceedings could be taken, it was neces sary that he should go to London to search for the papers wanted. Irving told me that the distress was made by Adam Bird for his father, Thomas Bird, and that they (the Birds) had been there before, and given notice to the plaintiff to pay no rent to any person but Thomas Bird. He told me that when Adam Bird went away be left word with him, that if Lord Brougham commenced an action, he was to apply to Messrs. Atkinson and Harrison, soli citors, of Penrith. I told him (Irving) that he would get into a scrape ; but he answered that he had an indemnity from Adam Bird. I then inquired how it was that he happened to 131 engaged in the business? He answered that Sisson, the sheriff ' s officer, had been enga ge d i n it ; but when he had got the length of Clittqn, be stopped, and said he would go no further till he had been advised by some respectable attorney. Bird stated that he had been advised by couusel to make the distress with the view of compelling Lord Brougham to try the question. I saw Thomas Bird afier he had got possession of Brougham-hall, which was in May last, and had some conversation with him. He complained that we had not proceeded in the action which had been commenced in the name of Robinson, the tenant of Witherigg. I told him that we had proceeded, and that the declaration had been delivered in London on the previous Monday. This circumstance took place on Monday or Tuesday. He complained that the action had not been brought in the name of Lord Brougham in place of Robinson. He also said that he had taken possession of Brougham-hall, under the impression that Lord Brougham would not proceed in the action. I inquired of Adam Bird who had made the distress on the part of his father, and he said that he had. He and I had a great deal of conversation about the distress. I told Adam and Thomas Bird, and the other fire, who took poneesion of Brougham-hall, that I eemeee.emeie...........•`""" .
