liarliamtntarp frortibiral- HOUSE OF LORDS.—TitunsDAY. On the Townsbend Peerage Bill going through committee, Lord BROUGHAM proposed an amendment in the clause which declared the children of the Marchioness Towushend The amendment was to the effect that they ilegitirnate were not the children of the marquis. Lord MONTYAGLE said there could be no reasonable doubt as to the justice of the case of Lord C. Townshend, but he could not understand why an exception was introduced into the bill in favour of Cecil Mina Bolivar , w ho was not yet of age, for that child would be still left as the child of the mar quis. Under these circumstances, he was at a loss to know on . what principle they passed the bill at all, as when the child came of age it would be necessary to pass another bill to secure the rights of Lord C. Townshend. lie regretted that in this case evidence had been given to prove that a.ping eer of the realm had been trafficking for the purp ose of dep p v the right heirs of their inheritance, for pecuniary considera tions. How could they tell but when this child was of age, the Marquis Tovrnshend would not enter into similar traffic- king with him for the same purpose. Lord BROUGHAM said that, as a marriage had taken place in Scotland between Lady Townshend and Mr. Margetts, the children might be the legitimate issue of Mr. Margetts if the marriage between the Marquis and Lady Townshend should be declared invalid by the ecclesiastical courts. The excep tion in favour of the youngest son was because of his infancy, and the injustice of depriving him of any presumed right when he had no opportunity of being heard. The amendments were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be received ! day. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that in the case of the Sud bury Disfranchisement Bill, Mr. Austin had declared his inability to make out a case of g eneral corruption, and that would not therefore proceed further with the bill. Lord BROUGHAM then gave notice that he would this day move the second reading of the bill that day six months. In reply to a question from Lord CAMPBELL. The Loan CHANCELLOR stated that the judges would at tend their lordships on Thursday next, in order to give their opinions of the law in cases of murder arising from insanity. The Registration of Voters Bill was then read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TwunsDAY. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD moved for leave to bring into a bill to secure the full repr esentation of the people, and shorten the duration of Parliaments. Mr. T. DuNcomas seconded the motio n. e ld e n and other After some observations from Sr. Fi _ . radical metabers, Sir R. Psitt. said it was rather singular that the hon. gen tleman should state his fear for the maintenance of the mo narchy as arising from such a proposition as that before the house, if agreed to, and yet, with all his anxiety for its sup port, that he would not lend it even the aid of his vote. For his own part, he would pursue a different course, and give the constitution the benefit of his vote on that Reform Bill , for occasion. He was placed in the po sition of defending the be perceived that all of those who had originated it were ab 'he house. The right hon. baronet then contended length against the arguments ad ex pressing vancedd b e by the se veral s upporters of the moti on ; and concludy his determination to give it his most strenuous opposition, believing it to be inconsistent with the existence of peace and law, and that limited and constitutional authority which, whatever temporary difficulties it might be subject to, he be lieved, on the whole, to have given the people of this country more real constitutional freedom than the people of any other sent from at some country in the world. Mr. DUNCOMBE defen ded the working c lasses from the aspersions cast upon them 15y they Mr. Ross, and denied that wished to change the c onstitution of the country. All they wa nted was to be fairly represen t e d in that ho use. He denied that the Reform Bill had been productive of the great robenutlufints i m puted to it, and argue d for the necessity of the s o f universal Dr. BOWRING had witnessed the working affrage in other countries, and was not afraid of its being introduced in England. He would have even erroneous opinions represented, that they might be discussed and re f f uz ed. He recommended them to cede much, and that quickly, as to the organisation of the house, or a change would be speedily effected otherwise. Lord J. MANNERS said that in proportion use ower had been taken from the Crown and the mitre, the pysical and moral condition of the people had deteriorated. He believed this motion would have that tendency, and therefore that he was consulting their i n terests in opposi motion was reject ed ng it. Mr. S. CRAWFORD replied, and the on a division by a majority of 101 to 32. Mr. ROEBUCK then moved his resolution " That in no plan of education maintained and enforced by the state should any attempt be made to inculcate peculiar religious °inions; because as such an attempt would be considered a plan for maintaining and strengthening an undue superiority of one sect over all others, the animosity and strife already existing among different religious denominations would thereby unhappily be greatly increased and the cordial co. operation of all sects and denominations, which is absolutely necessary to insure the success of any plan of public educa tion, rendered impossible." The hon. and learned gentleman argued at great length that, as the great proportion of the population belonged to the Established Church, there could be no injury from the omission of the inculcation of peculiar religious tenets ; w hile, on the other hand, great mischief might be produced by the assertion of the principle of religi ous instruction. Sir J. GRAHAM contended that a general feeling prevailed that education to be sound must be based f o undedon, and that the right of private judgment ehould be upon a previously acquired knowledge of the Scriptures. The greater proportion of the community would repudiate the principle contained in Ter Roebuck's motion. It would be repudiated by the Presians in Scotland ; and in Ireland the a tt e mpt to enforce the system of teaching by Scripture extracts had proved an utter failure. It was true that the dissenters contended for the most perfect equality, but while the Church of Eng land continued to be the Established Church, no compulsory scheme of education could be framed without founding it on the tenets of that establishment, taking, h ow ever, especial care to respect the religious scru ples of those who differed from that church. The feeling was so deeply imbued in the minds of the people that the Holy Scriptures should be the basis of education, that any attempt t o en force a different principle would only recoil on the Government which attempted it. Mr. M. MILNas said he would rather see the factory children and others educated in any religious doctrine what. ever th a n s ee them not educated at all ut he could not "'e doctrine that they should not ; be educated in any support tim religion whatever. Sir R. I NG LIS said be believed that nothing was worthy of the name of education which did nukebring out the highest qualities of man, which could alone him Wise unto sal- Sir He should decidedly oppose the motion of the hon. his mo tion was member for Bath. Mr. RGEBuc/C rep lied, and on a division negatived by a majority of 136 to 60. The other orders of th e day were disposed of, an d the house adjourned HOUSE OF LORDS.--kcitiv,-- buOn the motion of the Marquis of CLANRIC A AOC, the Sod ti bury Di s fr a m hi s ernent Bill was ordered to be read a second me that day six moiths. The bill was, therefore, lost. The Marquis o t Do vvNeFllftE presented a petition from the Protestant Operative Association of Belfast. complaining of the agitation for the repeal of the union. The noble mar quis expressed a hope that the declaration of the noble duke on a former evening would have the effect of putting a stop to the agitation. B EA u I toNT denounced the conduct of the Catholic bishopre (Dr. Higgins) for teal, manner in which he bad inter ! din th e ques tion of repontending that he should be the a dvocate of peace rather than the fomenter of discord. Lord KENMARIC said he entirely coincided in the senti ments expressed by Lord Beaumont. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. ----- HOUSE OF COONS.-41"PAT' M M Lord STANLZY then br ou g ht forward the Canadian boon orn and Flour Bill. The prop osed measure Woul d e xtend a to the C a nadians which they had solicited for the last tvventy five years. It was a measure altogether apart from the ques tion of the corn laws, and from the question of free trtade. It was intended to give encouragement to the agriculnutral interests of Canada by admitting its produce to this coury d uty more favourable terms. He proposed to substitutewa duty of 'is upon Canadian flour as a substitute for a duty twat varying from Is to ss. At present there was no dut b ever on the import of foreign wheat into Canada, .he should propose as a protection to the Canadian agriculturist a duty o f as on the importation of American wheat into Ca nada, and he should also propose a perrnanent fixed duty of Is on the importation of CanaiUan wheat and flour dutyEbng land. Instead therefore of ffitroducing a tixed .:. a mt ck door, as had been industriously represented, they h be said to be imposing a toll on that which had passed roll be free for the last sixteen years. Neither would it injure the milling interest, since a fair equivalent was provided for ex isting regulations. A more important point was whether the proposed duty could be levied, but of this he was pet fectly satisfied, because from the character of the country it would exceed must be evident that the expense 01. smuggling the rate of duty, and, in fact, it bad never been alleged that wheat was smuggled into Canada. H e was satisfied, therefore, that the measure, without injuring our agricultural interest, would be a boon, to Canada. by enabling them to consume our manufactures, and affording them a steady market for their produce. The measure was no advance towards free trade, and therefore hon. members on the other side might consistently oppose it, but its principles as to levy a pro tective duty on American corn as nearly possible the same as at present. On the faith of this measure the Canadians had vied with each other in assenting to the Government proposition of a corn law for that colony, and they therefore held the Government pledged to omit no exertion to carry the arrangement into effect. Under these circumstances he would ask whether it would be wise, just, practicable, or safe, to tell them that we had changed our minds. For his own part, if the house were induced to reject it, be would not advise her Majesty to give her assent to the act of the colonial legislature. Looking at our increasing population, it was of the utmost importance that the house should con sider where they could look for the means of supplying them but to that great area cultivated by our own countrymen, and capable of supplying our deficiencies without being able to compete with our own productions. On the grounds, therefore, of agricultural and commercial policy, of justice, expediency, and good will, he submitted the proposal that the house shoed resolutionsl into a committee, in which he would propose as the groundwork for a bill to the principle and atnbdeimr saainneotbiujenct of which he confidently anticipated Mr. LABOUCHS pro tested against the footing on which RE the noble lord had rested the bill. If any danger should re sult from its rejection the responsibility would rest on the noble lord for having entere into s anction oan arrangf temheent House with theof Canadian legislature without the Commons. Th e practical questi on was, whether they would consent to reduce the duty on corn and flour imported from Canada into this country on condition that the Canadian leg islature would pass a corn law for Canada. He bad last year opposed the new tariff on salted provisions, believing it to be absurd and impracticable, and be now opposed the present measure as combining the inconveniences of protection with the evils of smuggling. If be could bring himself to believe that the measu uld be the means of introducing a.larger supply of grain to o th is country, he should think it would in that case be advantageous, because it would tend to counter balance the evil of creating a new protected interest, which ' much more easily created than got rid of. He could . see how it would benefit the colonial agriculturist or the colonial merchant, and he could not t h e refore on w hy the English consume r should be called upon t paY the duty of three shillings. Believing measure to be adverse to the principles of free tra de without possessing any coon an"a i "ng advantages , he would move as an amendment that humble address should be p resented to her ' ajesty, hum tebly praying her Majesty to withhold her assent from an act ct assed in the last sesesion of th e provincial parliament of 'ion of a duty o n the importation could b Lada, for the imoos ,ended that the object of the bill was trade in American flour through Canada try at a fixed duty of •Is.

There was a England difference between the condition of the labourer in England and in Canada, and yet we were proposing to in crease the price of food to the English labourer, and not only that, but we were actually doing so by means of a tax levied entirely for the benefit of Canada. The house should pause 1 before it encouraged the investment of capital on the faith of a protection which must ere long be swept away. Mr. GLADSTONE supported the motion of Lord Stanley, 1 contending that the house was pledged by its tacit assent to the expectation held out that if Canada should adopt certain measures relative to the importation of American grain, her own grain would be received on more favourable terms into this country. Canada did adopt the measures thus pointed out, and it was but justice now that the pledge held out should be fulfilled. He did not think the bill would lead to smuggling, for the amount of duty bore no proportion to the bulk, and it would not therefore answer the purpose of the smuggler. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to reply to the arguments used by the several honourable mem bers who had during the evening opposed the proposition of Lord Stanley, and contended that the measure. if passed, would have the effect of fostering the agriculture of Canada, without materially affecting that of Great Britain. The growth of Canada was not sufficiently extensive to produce any effect upon our home markets, however important it might be to Canada to find for it an advantageous market. The whole question was a small one as regarded England, but it was one of great importance to Canada. In this view of the case he was borne out by Lord Svdenham, who had two years ago expressed his opinion of the importance of ad mitting Canadian produce into England duty free. He was of opinion that no reasonable objection could be stated to the measure, if fairly considered ; for there conld be no ques tion but its tendency would be beneficial both to this country and to Canada. The debate was then adjourned. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS At a congregation on Wednesday last at Cambridge, the following degrees were conferred :—Honorary Masters of Arts: The Hon.

CONVERT FRO][ JUDAISM.—On Sunday, the 7th instant, Mr. J. M. Joseph (brother to the Rev. H. S. Joseph, of Liverpool) was baptised at St. James's Church, in this city, agreeably to the injunction of the Special Commissary of the Diocese.—Bath Chronicle. A commission of " preliminary" investigation, which sat six hours, was opened yesterday in the Chapter-room of Bristol Cathedral, to enquire whether there were grounds for carrying into the Episcopal Court a complant of breach of church discipline, in the marriage of Wm. Redgers and Char lotte Durban in Redcliff Church on 29th January last. The proceedings were instituted ex officio by Venerable Arch deacon Thorp, who conducted his case in person, and arose out of the following circumstances. The two persons, pro perly parishioners of Nailsea, were married, as above stated ; the female is the sister of the deceased wife of Wm. Redgers ; and it was contended that the Rev. Dr. Irvine (curate of St. Mary Redcliff) had sufficient notice both of consanguinity and of their not being of the parish. Citations were therefore served on the Rev. M. R. Whish, vicar, and on Dr. Irvine, curate of the parish, to meet this proceeding. The vicar handed a protest, declaring his preferments to be in the di ocese of Bath and Wells. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.-A diaboli cal attempt to assassinate the Rev. Thomas Page, the offici ating minister of Christ Church, in the immediate vicinity of Virginia Water, close to Windsor Great Park, was made a few nights ago, between eleven and twelve o'clock. The rev. gentleman and his wife were retiring to rest, and at the moment Mr. Page (whose shadow was thrown upon the win dow) had approached the dressing-table at the window of his bedroom, to extinguish the light, a loaded musket was dis charged at him from the garden, and, from the sound, evi dently at but a short distance from the house. Upon exa mining the window, a large slug, upwards of an inch in length, was discovered to have been lodged in the wood work which di%ided the two sashes of the window, and in the precise direction of the spot where the rev. gentleman was standing. Indeed, had it not been for the fortunate and providential circumstance of the slug lodging in the double portion of the frames of the window, the aim of the villain would, most unquestionably, have taken effect. A portion of the glass was broken, and the shattered fragments knocked inwards upon the dressing-table beneath. HINTS TO CLERGYMEN ' GODFATHERS, &C.—The Rev. Mr. Stowell, in his speech on the Education Bill, at Man chester, mentions the following startling fncts :—" In one year out of 360 young persons committed to the New Bailey Prison under 17 years of age, 72 could not say the Lord's Prayer ; 39 could say the Lord's Prayer and nothing more ; 21 could say the Lord's Prayer and the Creed ; 3 could say the Lord's Prayer, the Creed and the Ten Commandments ; none could say their duty to God and their neighbour ; none could say the whole of the Church Catechism. Of the whole number, 117 belonged to the church; 243 to different de nominations of dissenters, which was as two to one in com parison to the church." Would this state of society be such were the following directions of the church duly observed : "The curate of every parish shall diligently, upon Sundays and holy days, after the second session at evening prayer, openly in the church instruct so many children of his parish sent unto him as he shall think convenient in some part of this Catechism. And all fathers, mothers, masters, and dames, shall cause their children, servants, and apprentices who have not learned their Catechism to come to the church at the time appointed, and obediently to hear and be ordered by the curate until such time as they have learned all that is here appointed for them to learn." NEW CHURCH AT PENZANCE,—We have recently had presented to us a specimen of what the Cambridge Camben Society are intended to produce, recently given at the open ing of zi new chapel at Penzance. There was " the approach to the chancel by three bold and well executed granite steps." Then a rail, "or rather screen ;" and within the rail three more steps. The❑ the reredos, and seven sedelia and the credence and piscina. Then, "on the first altar-step are two elegant candelabra, five feet and a half high ;" con taining candles of wax, "fourjeet and a hat high :" making ten feel in all. Then, "the service is read from a lectern, which is situated on the upper chancel-step." " The Lita ny is said from a faldstool placed on the second chancel-step, and looking towards the altar," The lessons are read from " a brass eagle, which stands on the pavement of the choir." We have then a description of how no fewer than nine cler. gymen contrived to divide the service among them ; the whole "effect" of which is said, again and again, to have been " impressive," and " most impressive ;" but of which, it is abundantly obvious, the chief peculiarity must have been, the distracting and dazzling effect of the whole glitter and parade, and perpetual changing of the dramatis personce, inevitably making quiet and abstracted devotion almost im possible. Three of these clergymen, we are sorry to say, were members of the Church Missionary Society. There is, however, another part of the system which demands atten tion. It is this : divers parts of the service are to be " said" or " chanted" within the chancel, and looking towards the alter; i. C., at the distant part of the church, and with the minister's face turned from the people. Thus he is no lon ger, as now, one with the people, and leading their prayers; but he is the mediating priest and intercessor, who is gone into the holy of holies, there to offer up prayer for them.— [One of the clergymen who preached two of the sermons at this church on its opening was the Rev. Robert Aitken ! who a year or two since obtained in this town considerable noto riety, and who, a short time prior to his removal from hence, officiated in St. John the Evangelists Church, Hope-street, in this town.] —Ed. L. S. EFFICIENCY OF THE PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.--I do not think dissent from the church a small evil. 1 have too man y opportunities of knowing the evils that arise from it to take such a course. But my object is to set forth what the clergy and the country should do with respect to the dissent which does exist. Should they not rather seek to take away the causes of Dissent than to oppose the effects arising from those causes? Should they not rather undermine the fortress than seek to take it by storm ? Is it not wiser, instead of going to the very middle of the current and trying to stop it, to dry up its sources ? Dissent had its rise in the peculiar circumstances of the country and the population, and was increased thereby ; but if the clergy wish to oppose that which too often certainly opposes them with a vehemence, o f which we have seen within the last week more examples than we could desire to expect, they must do it according to t he principles of one who spoke when be was not a Noncon formist, of what he thought would be the best preventive against Nonconformity—" Outdo, outpreach , ontpray them." For if we were to ask the leading Dissenters of the land, who lik e Dissent even for its own sake—for some do this, I fear — w hat they would most dread, the opposition of argument, or calumny, or reproach, or the opposition of pious men labour ing in districts where Dissent prevails, I think we need have very little doubt of what would be the answer. Suppose we gave them their choice of having 100 octavo volumes on church principles launched against them, or 100 little pamph lets against the evil of schism, or 100 pious, faithful curates, who would do the work of the church in the spirit of the church, which would they prefer ? I think they would reply, " Print your octavos, circulate your pamphlets, but don't send forth your curates. Establish another Star-chamber, if you please, for that will promote our cause, but don't establish your Church Pastoral-Aid Society." Ido not say anything, then, in the way of apology for Dissent, but en deavour to account for a state of things which otherwise it would be difficult to explain, how that with her excellent Liturgy, which is admired and approved even by those who do not join in it,—with her scriptural Articles, which are acknowledged to be so by many who do not subscribe to them,—and with her clergy, now scattered through the land, men of education, self-devotion, and self-denial,—there should be so much dissent from the church. Indeed, it would be a phenomenon not to be accounted for, except on the grounds I have stated. The Liturgy of our Church is nothing to those who do not bear it ; and the most pious clergyman is of no value to those who live four or five miles from him, and see him, perhaps, but once or twice a-year. I consider, then, that th i s Societ y has the greatest claims, both upon the church and the country at large, because its pr i nc iples cannot be promoted without the principles of the church being promoted ; and because it is first in discovering w here our wants and difficulties are, and in pointing out and providing the remedy.—Speech of the Bishop of Chester. HER MAJISTYs BIRTH-DAY.---A paragraph has appeared in some of the papers, stating " that to all appearance the natal day of our gracious Sovereign is likely to pass off ' very languidly' in the metropolis, and that there will not be any drawing-room on that day, as is customary."

THE DISRUPTION The general assembly of the Church of Scotland met at , Edinburgh on Thursday. From the all-engrossing interest felt in the proceedings in which it was to be engaged, the number of strangers who repaired to Edinburgh on the oc casion was unpreoedentedly great. The Most Noble the Marquis of Bute, whom her Majesty the Queen bad appointed to represent her royal person and authority in the assembly, arrived in Edinburgh on Satur day afternoon, and attended Divine service in the High Church on Sunday. On Wednesday afternoon the Lord Provost and magistrates, according to ancient custom, waited on his Grace the Lord High Commissioner, to present to him the keys of the city. They subsequently had the honour of dining with his grace. On Thursday morning, his Grace the Lord High Com missioner held his first levee in the Throne-room at Holy rood. It was unusually thronged, being attended by nearly seven hundred persons. After the levee his grace went in procession along the Regent-road, Waterloo-place, the North-bridge, and the High-street, to the High Church, which he reached about one o'clock. The moderator of the last general assembly, Dr. Welsh, preached from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, chap. xiv., verse sth, " Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." The streets through which the procession passed were densely crowded, and were lined by the 6th Dragoon • Guards and the 66th Foot. The multitude in Hanover-street i and George-street was very great. Such was the eagerness . of some, especially the female part of the community, to be in time to witness the catastrophe, that ladies were seen winding their way with baskets of provisions towards St. Andrew's Church, so early as five o clock in the morning. By seven many had taken their seats, and by nine the stran- ge j rs' gallery was nearly filled, a considerable number being adherents or friends of the Secession party. Divine service having been concluded at half-past two o'clock, his Grace proceeded in his state carriage up the High-street, down the Mound, to St. Andrew's Church, to open the Assembly. The members of Assembly began to take their seats soon after twelve o'clock, by which time the gallery was completely crowded. Dr. Candlish, on entering the house, was received with loud applause from the gallery, and similar demonstrations were made on the entrance of Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, Mr. Maitland Makgill Crichton, Mr. Dunlop, Sheriff Monteith, Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Chal mers, and Dr. Gordon. At a quarter to three the Moderator, Dr. Welsh, took the chair. His Grace the Commissioner arrived about two mi nutes after, and ascended the throne. The first step in the procedure of the venerable body is to make up the roll of its members ; but before this task could be entered upon, Dr. Welsh, the Moderator of the last As sembly, rose and gave in a protest, signed by about 120 mi nisters and ;0 elders, commissioners to the Assembly, de claring that the present was not a free and lawful Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and that the subscribers could not, after the recent decisions of the civil courts, and the sanction of these decisions by the Sovereign and the parlia ment, conscientiously continue to be members of that church as by law established. This protest having been read, the subscribers withdrew from the Assembly. The effect of their movement on the audience was striking : a loud cheer burst from the gallery, which, however, was suddenly hushed, and the whole audience stood gazing intently on the scene below, very many of them in tears. When Dr. Welsh, Dr. Chalmers, and Dr. Gordon made their appearance outside, they were received with a tremendous burst of applause from the masses assembled in George-street, which was continued and reiterated with the most extraordinary enthusiasm as they went along. All the windows and staircases were filled with ladies ; nay, every available space; the very housetops, were covered with groups of spectators ; and the universal waving of hats and handkerchiefs from all quarters, mingled with the shouts below, had a very imposing effect. The whole body formed into a line of procession, four abreast, and proceeded, by North Hanover-street, Dundas-street, Pitt-street, &c., to the Hall at Tanfield, Canonmills, pre ceded, accompanied, and:followed by immense multitudes of people ; a large number of windows along the line being, as in George-street, filled with ladies waving their handker chiefs. When they reached Tanfield, they were greeted with a loud and continued burst of cheering from the multitudes which had assembled to receive them ; and, on entering the Hall, the part of it assigned to the pulic was found filled to overflowing with a large and most respectable company. Those parts of the Hal devoted to ministers and elders were soon also filled ; and, when the business commenced, the sight of the immense mass of people congregated (upwards of 3,000 persons) had a most magnificent effect. A chairman, pro tempore, was then elected, and the roll of the Assembly having been made up, the Very Rev. Principal Macfarlan was, on the motion of Dr. Cook, seconded by the Earl of Selkirk, elected Moderator. Her Majesty's com mission, nominating the Marquis of Bute to represent her Royal person and authority in the Assembly, was then read, and his Lordship presented the Queen's letter. This docu ment expressed her Majesty's sense of her solemn engage ' ment to maintain inviolate the Presbyterian Church of Scot land in all its rights and privileges ; it exhorted the members to unity and obedience; reminded them that the veto act had not been rescinded, though it had been pronounced by the courts of law to be illegal ; declared her Majesty's readi ness to give her assent to any measure which the legislature might pass, securing to the people, in the settlement of ministers, the full privilege of objection, and to the church judicatories the exclusive right of judgment ; expressed her Majesty's persuasion that the decision of the civil courts re garding the ministers of quoad sacra parishes would be implicitly obeyed by the Assembly, until it should be consi dered by the legislature ; and, finally, commended the mem bers to the guidance of Divine Providence, and implored the blessing of God on their deliberations. On the motion of Lord Belhaven it was agreed to delay the appointment of a committee to answer her Majesty's letter until the next day. The Procurator for the Church then moved that the objections which had been lodged to the commissions of members should be remitted to a special committee; and this motion having been agreed to, after one or two members had expressed their sentiments as to the position of the church, the house adjourned until Friday. FRIDAY. The Assembly met at twelve o'clock, but excepting the appointment of several committees, the sederunt was occu pied in devotional exercises. THE CONVOCATIONISTS' MEETING. The subscribers of the protest against the freedom and le gality of the Assembly, on leaving the court, repaired as we have said to a large hall at Cannonmills. On the motion of Dr. Welsh, Dr. Chalmers was chosen Moderator. Dr. Chalmers. on taking the chair, gave out for singing the 43d psalm from the 3d verse; after which he engaged in prayer. The Moderator said—Rev. Fathers and Brethren, it has been proposed that the business of this Assembly should commence with an address, which I shall make as brief as possible, from him whom you have invested with the impor tant station I now hold. The time of controversy is now to be followed up by a busy season of doing more than of saying. Ist. It is clear that anterior to our connexion with the state, the church had a government of her own right, and within her proper sphere had certain inherent liberties which, save by persecution, could not be violated. 2d. When the church entered into connexion with the state, she gave up no part of her liberty. (Cries of "Hear.") That was her inalienable birthright, which, save by an act of treachery to her great Head in heaven, she could not part with. She gave her ser vices, but not her liberties—(cheers) —they were not hers to give, it being not only her privilege but her bounden duty to hold them fast. 3d. Our ancestors in the church were true to that principle; they did not give up their christian liber ties when they entered into connection with the state. For their maintenance they endured the controversies and perse cutions of a whole century, handing them down entire from one generation to another, and so kept them alive, even in the worst of times, till they were finally secured, so far as could be done by human conventions and the faith of treaties, at the Revolution Settlement, when what the church deemed her rights were ratified by the state as her constitutional li berties. 4th. The free and separate government in things ecclesiastical, which was guaranteed to the church, sub sisted without violation on the part of the civil courts for another century and a half, nor did the church suf fer any inroad or molestation at their hands, and no one ever dreamed of the invasions which have been recently witnessed, as being in the smallest degree likely, or even possible. sth. The first breach effected in the ratified jurisdiction of the church, was founded on an interpre tation of an Act of Queen Anne, passed in 1712, anent the restoration of patronage, but which interposition the dis covery was elicited for the first time, to all the parties in this controversy, that there existed a compatibility between this statute of Queen Anne and a prior enactment, at the time of the Revolution Settlement; and which, although never re ferred to by any of the law lords in the House of Peers, during the Auchterarder case, had been appealed to in the Bill of Rights, forming the charter of the constitutional liberties of the Church of Scotland. 6th. In these circum stances, the church appealed to parliament on the ground of her hitherto unviolated constitutional law, and pointed out the discrepancy now evolved, for the first time. between an act of the legislature and that settlement which was guaranteed at the revolution, and still further guaranteed at the union. 7th, and lastly. That application having been rejected by the legislature having declined to remedy the evil, the church is constrained to make a higher appeal—from her constitution, now disregarded and invaded, to her conscience, which tells her that, as an ecclesiastical body, she ought not to be sub ject to the civil power in things spiritual; and we have, therefore, been compelled, though with the greatest re•. luctance and sorrow, to quit the advantages of a British establishment, in the hope in God that we shall be allowed to prosecute our labours in peace on the grounds of a British toleration. (Cheers.) These are the principles which have led to the movement of this day, and have brought us to gether on this occasion. Rather than compromise the authority of Christ over his own church, you have forfeited the countenance of men in power—men who have this world's authority on their side ;—beware of compromising another of your doctrines and articles of faith, even the authority of Christ over the nations and governments of the earth, and the truth that it is the duty of these governments to uphold his religion in the worid. (Loud cries of " Bear, hear.") This may be called a less principle than the other, and in it self of inferior consequences to the well being of Christ's Church on earth, but let us not forget what is said in Scrip. ture of those who shall break even the least of these commandments. The men opposed to us on this second, or as some might be disposed to call it, secondary principle, may be men with whom we differ, and with whom we may agree to differ—they may be fit coadjutors with us in evange lizing the land; brethren with whom we may hold sweet and profitable counsel on the weighty matters of the law, having one faith, one Lord, and one baptism. But we should not, even for their friendship, violate the entireness of our prin ciples, or make compromise of the very least of them. To render myself more plain, let me be more particular. The vo luntaries mistake us if they claim us as voluntaries. (Cries of hear, hear.) We hold it the duty of a government to give the maintenance of a gospel ministry, and that they are bound to acquit themselves as the proprietors of the Church, and not as its corruptors and tyrants. (Cheers.) We pray that the day may arise when the Church kings will be nursing fathers and queen's nursing mothers. Though we quit the establishment, we go out on the establishment principle— we quit a vitiated establishment, but could rejoice in return ing to a pure one. (Loud cheers.) To express it precisely, we are the advocates of a national recognition and support of religion, and we are not voluntaries. (Hear, hear.) Again, if we thus openly proclaim our differences with the men who, not wanting in honesty under the guise of principle, refuse to . . acknowledge this doctrine, still more resolutely must we disclaim all fellowship with the men who lift a menacing front against the powers that be, who desire the overthrow of all government, and all the restraints of social order. Dr. Chalmers dwelt on this point at some length, concluding this part of his address saying—" If we are willing to inscribe on the flag of our Church ' We are no voluntaries,' then on the other side we shall inscribe, in letters still more legible to be seen and read of Amen, 'We are no anarchists.' " He then alluded in a few words to their position as regarded the es. tablishment, counselling temper, and mildness, and prayers that they might be forgiven, for they knew not what they did. A clerk having been elected, Dr. Candlish moved that all who had signed the protest should be ipso facto members of the new Assembly, and that they should associate with them, both in voting and consulting, all ministers of the church who should declare their adherence to the protest, and one adher ing elder from each Kirk Session. On the motion of Dr. ,11`Farlan, of Greenock, a committee was appointed to con sider the proper course for effecting a separation from the establishment ; and another committee, on the motion of Dr, N'h,"ellare, was nomioated to prepare an address to her Majesty, 49414 (gh Os gowns]; 911 wbis4l:l IiIOT had gaga, ;404 Fovorai cutogilltPoo fißminitto4, sk, rowilis silOimod FRIDAY. Mr. M. M. CRTCHTON referred to an omission which it appeared to him had b een made in the minutes. Rumour with her hundred tongues was busy depreciating the amount of accession to the protest, as well as the actual number of ministers who have signed the protest and the adherence. The number of ministers was now actually upwards of 400. [The Cl er k-412.]—(Cheers.) Several members of t he Irish deputation then addressed the meeting, and they declared, on behalf of the General Assembly which they represented, that they recognized that assembly as the true General Assembly of the Church c f their forefathers. Amongst the speakers was Dr. Cooke, c f Belfast. The devotional exercises were then commenced. MISCELLANEOUS. The contest for the city chamberlainship has cost Sir John Pirie, Bart., not far short of 1:3,000. SIGNIFICANT.—The troops in Cork are now supplied with the war complement of ammunition, GO rounds per man. For the first time since the Reformation, mass was publicly celebrated in the town of Aylesbury on Sunday week. Charles Mackey, the murderer of his wife, was executed a Glasgow, on Thursday. He left a letter acknowledging his guilt. J. L. Ellis, Esq., senior clerk to Col. Wyndeham, was drowned whilst bathing in the Thames, near Petworth, on the Sth. instant. He was only 22 years of age. Small flitches of dry dairy-fed bacon were sold last week at Alarlborough at 4d. per lb., and retailed at sd. This is but little more than half the price that was charged a few years ago. - - -•- -•- Herr Friebe, a celebrated blind flute-player, of Berlin, has just arrived in this country, bringing with him several letters of introduction from Spohr to the members of the musical profession i❑ London. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—At the recent distri bution of prizes for the winter term, 1842-3, the gold medal and first certificate in the class of anatomy and physiology, were awarded to Mr. Robert Dawson Harting, of Chester. The May registry session for the city of Dublin closed on Saturday. The numbers registered were conservaties, 139 ; radicals, 19 ; majority, 140. The registry may now be con sidered as abandoned by the repeaters and radicals. By a treasury order of the 28th ult. the island of Ascen sion is to be treated as a British possession, for all purposes of trade and revenue. We are informed that a requisition to government for a military force on 11th June has been forwarded by some per sons in Mallow.—Cork Examiner. In consequence of the low price of malt and hops, the inn keepers of Trowbridge have lowered the price of strong beer 2d. per quart ; it is now selling at South Down mutton is now selling at Winchester, at sd. per lb, and the primest parts are selling by the first-rate butchers at 54d. ready money, and Gd. credit price. There were no fewer than 300 pieces of English woollen cloth smuggled into Oporto last week, and the contrabandists both there and at Lisbon engage to smuggle in any quantity. THE MURDER AT BURY.—A verdict of " wilful murder" has been returned against James Howarth, and other persons at present unknown, for the murder at Bury, and the former person has been committed to take his trial at the next Li verpool assizes. _ _ . . . The ceremony of churching the Queen took place at twelve o'clock on Fr:day, in the Chapel Royal, Buckingham Palace. The Archbissop of Canterbury officiated, assisted by the Bishop of London, dean of the chapel. • ODD THINGS. — The newspapers at times have odd things in them ; amongst the advertisements in a late London paper, we read tlat " Two sisters want washing ;" and that " a spinster, particularly fond of children, wishes for two or three, having none of her own, or any other employment." FIRST FRUITS OF THE GOVERNMENT RESOLVE.—Mr. Hanlon, ordnance clerk of works at Enniskillen, has been dismissed for attending a repeal meeting at Kells. Mr. Hanlor, is replaced here by Mr. Kilby, from Derry.—Fer nianagh Reporter. The decision of the stewards of the Jockey Club on the Leicester cup race was forwarded, per post, the same night to the clerk of the course, and the amount of stake paid into the Leicester Bank forthwith. On the following day it stopped payment. Another paltry attack upon the Earl of Cardigan is going the round of the papers, having originated in the Dublin Mercantile Advertiser. There is not a syllable of truth in it, and we are glad to see that Colonel Chatterton has very manfully grappled with the calumny. MASONIC.—The Londo❑ Sun of Thursday, announces that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge would be initiated into Free masonry on Saturday last, in the Royal Alpha Lodge, Ken sington Palace. PaovisioNs IN THE PRINCIPALITY. — Fresh eggs are now selling at seven for 2d. or 42 for Is. ; salmon trout, nine for 6d. ; best fresh butter retail, 10(1. per lb. ; potatoes, 61b. for ; a quarter of veal costs only 2s. Gd. Rent is at the same low rate as living, and clothes of the native manufacture cost next to nothing.— Welchman. TRAMPLING ON THE PRAYER BOOK.—Mr. Bew, the chairman of the meeting at Bilston, at which " Bishop Bonner" trampled on the Prayer Book, has written a letter to the editor of the Staffordshire Advertiser, confirming the accounts given of that transaction, at the same time ex pressing his disapprobation of it. The projected Artesian well at the Brighton Chain Pier, after approaching to what appeared a successful completion, has been again abandoned. Water was procured in abundance; but it was brackish, and, from the fact that it arose and fell with the tide, was supposed to communicate with the sea. It is doubtful whether the attempt will be renewed. IRON LIGHTER FOR THE THAMES.—An iron lighter is building at Hull, calculated to carry fifty tons of goods, but so buoyant, that with forty to fifty passengers with their lug gage on board, she will not draw more than eighteen inches. She is intended, we understand, for the gratuitous use of passengers by the Hull and London steamers using Custom house-quay. BIRMINGHAM LYING•IN HOSPITAL.—It appears that within eight months of the establishment of this charity, not less than two hundred and ninety-five cases have received assistance from the institution ; although we understand that this number scarcely comprises one-tenth of the applications the usefulness of the charity being necessarily circumscribed by its very limited fund. SCOTLAND.—A correspondent states—" The Glasgow re pealers intend to muster in tens of thousands next month, and have invited John O'Connell, M.P., Mr. O'Neill Daunt (Head Repeal Warden for Scotland,) and Mr. Steele to a public entertainment. The two former gentlemen have ac cepted the honour conferred on them ; but Mr. Steele's pub lic duties will detain him in Ireland." AWFUL EFFECTS OF Passios. 7 -9n Monday week a man named M'Clenaents, a farmer, living in the townland o f Ballycross, parish of Magherallo, on going into o ne o f hi s fields, observed, some poultry in his oats. Having discovered to whom the fowls belonged, he became so enraged, th a t, on entering his house, lie fell down in a fit, and soon after ex pired.—Belfast paper. APPROACHING MARRIAGES AT THE COLLEGIATE CHURCH.—We understand, that the number of banns or " askings" published during divine service on Sunday morn ing last, was larger than was ever before known, amounting to no fewer than two hundred and forty couples, or four hula • dred and eighty candidates for Hymen's rites and bonds ! This would seem to indicate the approach of better times amongst us.—Manchester Guardian. If we are not mistaken, Mr. Sheridan Knowles has written no fewer than 16 dramas, beginning with Virginius and end ing with the Secretary. The last met with a very untoward fate owing to the cirturnstances under which it was brought out, at a time when it could not be consecutively represented, arising from the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. It has been said that the author gained no more than £l5O by it, but we believe that that sum is heyond what he actually received.—Morning Chronicle. Two unfortunate labourers, named Buckley and Holland, were drowned off Alderman's stairs, on Thursday last, whilst coming ashore from the Dublin Steam Packet Company's boat, on board of which they were employed. The accident was caused by a fellow named Hoskin s j um pi ng su dd en l y into the boat from an adjoining barg3, and thus swamping it. Nine others narrowly escaped a similar fate. Hoskins has been committed for manslaughter. He was mate of the steam-ship Duke of Cornwall. A miser of the name of John Tolkerton died in Castle street East, London, on Saturday week. He had attained the age of 81 years, and at the former period of his life was a hair-dresser, but of late years he had been miserably penu rious. The attics of his house were crammed with paintings and other valuable articles which were deposited with him as security for money, and he had all owe d t h em to b ecome valueless through damp and dirt. He accumulated upwards of £60,000, though he scarcely allowed himself the necessa ries of life. The daily pay of a private soldier (foot) is Is. with Id. for beer. That of a life-guardsman is Is. 11-id., and the an nual cost is £74 4s. 11d. per man, besides horse and allow ances, or £1 Bs. 6d per week. Dragoons, £56 lls. sd. per annum, or £3 Is. 9d per week. Foot Guards, £34 65., or 13s 2d. per week ; infantry, £3l, per annum, or Ils. 10d. per week. A regiment of horse soldiers, of about three hun dred and sixty men and officers, costs about £25,000 per an num. The wages of seamen in the royal navy are £2 12s. per month, or 13s. per week, and £1 125., or Bs. per week more, are allowed for their provisions. Loss OF LIFE.—ISLAND of ISLAY, MAY 6, 18.13. Yesterday morning, as one of the fishing boats belonging to this place was returning home from the fishing station—the morning being exceedingly stormy—when approaching a dangerous place called " Bogha-ant-Saoir," where two cur rents meet, the swell broke in upon them, and the boat im mediately sunk. The crew, consisting of four young men, were all drowned. To-day all the boats on both sides of the Loch were sweeping for the remains of the unfortunate men, but without success.—Corryspundent of Glasgow Saturday Post. TH e GREENWICH PIER.---On Friday morning one of the beams of timber, called land-ties, which lie horizontally under the water-mark, and are clamped and bound to the piles, gave way with a crash, letting all connected with it loose, and occasioning a still greater sinking of the parade. During the day several practical men on behalf of the diffe rent parties connected with the pier, minutely examined what may he correctly designated the " ruins." After the survey they expressed an opinion that the unfortunate occurrence was the result of the false foundation, and that no substruc ture would be safe unless formed of arches, so as to permit the tide freely to ebb and flow. BOY KILLED WHILST AT PLAY.—On the 26th ult., several lads were playing a game at ball in Parliament-street, in Nottingham ; the game is called " Chuck i' th' hat," and is conducted as follows :—The hats of the party are placed in a row, and the ball being thrown by one of them, the owner of the hat into which it falls runs up as quickly as possible, and seizing the ball, throws it at the others, who run as far off as they have time ; if the thrower misses all his play fellows it counts as a point against himself, but if he succeeds in his aim, a point is scored against the one struck. On the occasion in question, the ball (which was a bard quilted one) fell into the hat of Joseph Ball ; he took it out and threw it at Thomas Tigube, who was six or seven yards off. The missile struck the poor little fellow with great violence on the back, and inflicted an injury which brought on locked jaw, of which he died on Thursday the 11th instant. The deceased was six years of age. An inquest was held on Friday, on view of the body, and a verdict of accidental death returned. IMPORTANT TO WELL SINK/Ms.—ln the Court of Ex chequer Chamber in Error, on Wednesday, a judgment of considerable importance was pronounced by Lord Chief Justice Tindal, in the case of Acton v. Blundell. Within twenty years before the commencement of the action the Plaintiff had sunk a well, and the water which it collected was sufficient to work his mill ; but in 1837 the Defendant dug a coal pit three quarters of a mile distant, which even tually drained the well dry, and therefore an action was brought to recover compensation. On the trial the judge told the jury that if the defendant had dug the pit in the manner which was usual in working and winding a mine, he was justified by law in what he had done ; and the jury found for the defendant. A bill of exceptions to this charge was presented, which had subsequently been argued, but the Court now decided that the summing uP was correct. The Court were of opinion that the case should be decided on the principle of the rule which gave to the owner of the soil every thing under the surface of it ; an d that if the plaintiff had ;“2ffered 104: by the extlo i se of tho Defendants right, it wits a 1(1" "" ViWg 4 "n/4m non irrirrrigtiodi 211 d. fur , vhiel; octivri 091414 no 0)0, tiOfonifes 41 44 11 i' it,A9O l ll/400Hit fi'ff the 11410440 ipping Intelligence.

The weather throughout the week has been cold and unfavourable to the growing crops. The trade has remained firm, and a steady business has been done, at late prices. At Liverpool and Wake field, yesterday, though Wheat was not decidedly dearer, all other articles brought some advance, and a fair amount of business was transacted. Our market this day, presents a firm aspect. We have no particular observation to make, except as regards Oatmeal, good qualities of which are more in request, and 3d to 6d per load dearer. As respects other articles, we may state that for each there is a steady, hilt not extensive, sale, at rates fully equal to, and, in some instances, rather exceeding, those of this day week : but although every thing is held at prices rather higher than our last quotations, the advance which is actually obtainable is not suficiently general to warrant any decided alteration therein. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 19 Sugar.—There has agai❑ been a very good demand for all des criptions, and an advance of about is per cwt. has been obtained i❑ brown and middling qualities, but in line there is no alteration. The sales consist of 1,000 hits. B. P., 5,000 bags Bengal, and 4,000 bags Mauritius. In Foreign there are no transactions to report. No Sales reported in Molasses. Coffee.—The demand continues limited for all descriptions, but there is no change of moment in prices; the transactions comprise so casks of Jamaica. 240 bags damaged Costa Rica at 205 to 405. 70 bags ordinary Bahia at 31s, and a small parcel of good ordinary La Gimyra at 400 t er cwt. There are no sales reported in Cocoa or Ginger ; but 40 bags Pimento have been taken at 21d, and about the same quantity of black Pepper at 3id per lb. Rice.--1,000 bags Bengal sold at los lid per cwt. B. P. Rum.—The sales are 150 puns., chiefly Demerara, at Is 9d for 10 per cent, to 3s 5d per gallon for 33 per cent. 0.P., of favourite mark. A few casks East India have been sold at the quotations, and 25 puns. Havana, 8 per cent. under proof, at Is 2d per gallon. - • The demand for Tea has been very limited during the week, and only a moderate husiness done, at last week's quotations. At auction, 12 serons Guatimala Indigo sold at 2s gd to 3s Ild for ordinary to good Cortes ; a similar quantity of Caracca has been taken by private at former rates.—Small sales of Gums of various sorts have been made.-20 chests Shell Lac sold at 41s ; 200 bales Munjeet at 265, and a lot of Cutch at Ifis per cwt.—The transactions in Saltpetre only amount to 100 bags, at 25s 6d ; but of Nitrate of Soda, 950 bags were sold, 450 bags at 158 6,1 ; but the price of the remainder has not yet transpired. The sales of Guano are 200 tons; 'no change can be noticed injprices.l - _ - LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 22. The market to-day has been characterised by rather a heavy and dull feeling, the large arrivals having had a tendency to damp the ardour of the buyers—particularly speculators, who have been wholly inactive ; the sales reach 3500 bales at last week's prices, with a flat market. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The market opened with a very general demand, particularly from speculators; but since the arrival of the Halifax steamer, the business on speculation has become more limited ; holders of American, however, have offered their stocks sparingly, and the quotations of Friday last are steadly maintained. Other descrip tions are also without change. About 5,000 bales are supposed to have been burnt this morning. Speculators have taken 11,500 American, and Exporters 700 American, 200 Sprat and 50 Madras. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 12th to the lath .llay. inclusive.

With a return of cold easterly winds, the fresh arrivals of Grain into this port continue extremely light from all quar ters, but of Oatmeal we have again to notice a fair supply from Ireland within the past few days; during which time the trade generally has exhibited increasing firmness, and upon a more extended inquiry for most leading articles, the tendency has been rather towards higher prices. The quan tity of Wheat shipping hence to Ireland increases weekly, and, taken in conjunction with the local and country demand, will probably make a greater impression upon our stocks in the present, than in the past month. There is no difference in the duties from last week. Although this day's market was by no means numerously attended by either home or country buj ers, the Wheat trade opened with much firmness on the part of holders, who, stimulated by some further inquiries for Ireland, generally required higher terms ; which being resisted by the millers, the transactions were upon a moderate scale only, and with out any decided advance upon the full rates of Tuesday. Irish Flour was in rather better demand at an amendment of 6d. per sack ; and States as well as Canadian having be come scarce, prime brands were 6d to Is. per barrel dearer. Barley, Beans, and Pease, though no readily disposed of, remained steady in value; and Malt realised Is. per quarter above our last quotations. Oats, in consequence of continued short arrivals, were saleable at a slight amendment in prices ; and Oatmeal, i❑ which the operations this morning were considerable, freely commanded 6d. per 240 lbs. over the rates last noted.
