In part, tion, into which subject they carried we admit that such is the fact. We contend, how- they entertained on the subject of religion, ought i,, the voluntary system. They held that any interferer, ever, it will do something. In the first place, the a gn o g i . i x n er o t t io t n o s th w e hici the Government on a a n larg i e se scale would have the effec completion of the 1500 miles of railway in Ireland, of damping for which acts of parliament are already obtained, were now making gergi t e o s some exte o n u t r will support 110,000 persons, representing 560,000 tent to which they ought to be made, but which tl e ; cowmensouls, for four years; and although these lines are thought would ultimately be made to an extent cowmen ~ --- generally to be constructed in districts of the surate with the neceqsitip. of + 4, , t country where the population enjoys at present the he same views wilier 4- 1 be or Where the nov e‘,lty of the statement of difficulty maximum amount of comfor !ding if cannot fail to produce benefit to those engaged in the pursuits of agriculture and industry generally. The labour afforded by these best of public works will afford material aid in the carrying out of an 'my, and evenwiaf the restricted one efficient poo set free for the purposes of agricultural impr-ove ment, drainage, &c., will be of no mean assistance to the landowner, cramped as his efforts are by the pressure of mortgages and of tenure; and the cer tain ultimate improvement of hi's property may tempt him to do more for the advancement of that result by his own means than he might otherwise attempt. The influx of English capital into Ire land, and its concomitant advantages, would be another result of the guarantee afforc rity by the State's pa;ticipation in such investment The politico-economical objection we do not re gard as at all tenable. Private enterprise, to which it is urged that the improvement of the conlition of Ireland should be left, has been tried for two centuries and failed ; and such private enterprise need not be hindered by the Government taking into its own hands the maturing of the railway system in that country. There is still a vast amount of work for the capital and the industry of the country to do before Ireland can be enabled to take up her just position as an integral pdrtion of the empire, or to develope the vast resources - of her soil and of ha. geographical location. The abstract theories of pohtleal economy are totally inapplica ble in a country whose evils and miseries are so complicated and so accumulated. It is more, however, as an aid to the measures of Government for the permanent improvement of Ireland, that we regard with favour the present proposition. If the extension of the railway sys tem in England has converted the barren soil into a fertile garden ; if it has made the green blade sprint up and the corn crops wave, and planted the habitations of man where, of old, was to be found'only tle impervious morass; if commerce if the buried mineral wealth of our country has by it been made conducive to the wants and the com forts of man ; if the locomotive has borne civiliza tion and improvement in its path—as who shall deny that it has ?—if it has brought the unin formed denizens of thousands of obscure localities into beneficial contact with those of the populous manufacturing town or the busy port ; if it has given markets to the industry of vast masses of our population, hitherto shut out by nature pelf from a participation in the benefits of our hi- proved commerce, what is the same cause not cal culated to effect in benighted and unhappy Ire land ? Spend a million sterling in reclaiming bogs and wastes, in making roads and building farmhouses, for the permanent improvement of a country, whose population has not capital to stock and crop above a few roods of potatoe ground ! Faugh. Give Ireland railways, and her bogs and wastes will reclaim themselves under the awakened er own people. A railway never ran gh a country the most uninviting, in which t did not startle indolence from its slumber, and develope, not only in the soil but in man, resources and energies of which neither ever made use or were imagined to possess There are, however, some modifications in the scheme of the Protectionist Leader which we think might be made with advantage, and would be cal culated to win for it a more extended approval from the public. In a measure so extensive as this, which calls upon the State for so large an advance of the public money as £16,000,000 ster ling, we ought to be careful as to the prospect of repayment. I - of the t is well known that many r which acts were obtained last ses- Irish lines )n, were hurried through Parliamen h muc too little inquiry, English members deeming it ungracious to oppose the declared wishes of Irish communities, although doubtful of the correctness of the data upon which they were formed, and leaving to the representatives of Ireland the moral burthen of their failure as sound investments for capital. •In part, the suggestion of Lord George Bentinck, that the Government should reconsider these measure being carried out by Government aid, will meet the evil. We should suggest, however, that the ad vance by the State should be one-half the capital, not one-third, as stated by his lordship, by which a better security would be derived by the state. We are not certain, moreover, that the present position of Ireland, and the claim now made in her behalf, do not afford a fitting opportunity for Government to undertake the duty, which has unfortunately been let pass by in this country, of providing a system of - railways under its own'Ma- theprofits of which should be devoted to purely transit ~ as traffic i tlie formation of nmodation for the country. This subject, however, is too grave a one to be discussed here, and we only rele as deserving o: serious consideration at ie present elan THE course which her Majesty's Government; acting upon the advice of the committee ,of council, :bout to to e for the morc general spread of is precisely, what we education among the people; subject in the ed it the time iat Lord John and would not grapple boldly with the admitted evils. arising from the want of a comprehensive educational measure, to he carried out by the state, but would confine themselves to some improvement in the training of teachers, and in the supervision of the schools esta blished, or partially supported, by the state sures good enough in their wav, but cm- —mea nade- And announced by quate to meet the requirements of the case such are the features of the pol: ay evening, the the Marquis of Lansdowne on Ft heads of which we shall here, briefly state The noble marquis, after dwelling upon the ad vantages, stated to have been derivgg from the su pervision over the existing schools, Mrcised by the officers of the Education Committee of the Privy Council, intimated that additional inspectors would be appointee, an inspection of eac. school at least once a year ; in the second place, that apprentices would he taken from the various schools with a view to their ultimate appointment as schoolmasters, those found not to be sufficiently eligible, after going through a course of normal training, to be provided with employment in the revenue departments, as guagers, &c.; thirdly, it is proposed to afford retiring pensions to school masters and mistresses incapacitated, and gratuities with a view t Education, from which religious teaching is not ex cluded; and, as there always will be such differ- ences, we must cone the premises, a National system of Education, of which teaching in Religion is a component part, is to be indefinitely postponed—at least, until we and courageous enough tions, and to brave the factious cries of hostile and contending sects.

" difficulties, opposition, apprehension, jealousies, and doubts," which, with 'such a general feeling existing in favour of a really comprehensive national system, must speedily sub side as its usefulness manifested itself. In behalf of such a course Lord Brougham ex pressed himself in decided terms ; and in a great and to have measure recognises the fact, left out of vie N -v by most parties who have of late attempted . to deal ,•, ,• of this Country are based upon an Established Religion. After eulogising the past exertions of the clergy in promoting education amongst the people , his lordship went on to "The Church would not have 'stem which was so comprehensive as not to allow of airy clerical inter ference ; the Dissenters would not haVe any system which allowed the least interference on the part of the Church ; and, therefore, unhappily, between the two, education went more or less to the wall. It was impossible to have such a system of supervision as would suit all Dissenters so numerous were they ; and his belief was, that it would be better to give the Church a proper superintendence, and leave the Dissenters to take it or not, as they pleased." There are few who, from his large opportunities, enjoyed during many years of intimate con with the Leaders of the dissenting pa. able than his lordship to decide how far the outc which has hitherto been directed by that party against a system of education over - which the church shall have a reasonable amount of superin tendence, is the outcry of the leaders merely, or is cordially adopted by the masses whom they lead. It is clear that he sets it down to the former; and most justly he concludes—and experience warrants ', are better him in doing so—that those. misses will not for any lengt of time be preval upon to wi themselves from a participation, upon merely ima ginary grounds, in the benefits of a sound educa- tional system With'respect to that portion of the government plea for declining to establish such a system, on the ground of anticipated objection from those who argue that education, like religion, should be left to voluntary efforts, we do not feel it necessary to offer more than a remark. We have seen the short-comings of the voluntary system thus far,J even in providing means of instruction for the children of parents predisposed by their religious convictions to accept its aid. But that anything abryr+ tre a na+inrial nan roanb +ha of infant vice, resulting from ignorance, existing amongst the neglected poor of our large towns, will require great hardihood to maintain. We regret most deeply that Lord John Russell and his colleagues have, in the measure under notice, shrunk from the performance of what is now acknowledged to be, on the part of the state, not only a great public duty, but one, also, which can be justified on purely economical grounds. No previous government has ever been placed in such a favourable position tor tne settlement or this question upon a comprehensive and efficient scale. The church, we firmly believe, was not dis posed to throw obstacles in the way, but rather willing to concede somewhat to obtain such a set tlement ; and their relations towards the various dissenting sects' would have enabled the ministry to do more towards appeasing any clamours, which " have arisen from those sects, than a Con -meet to effect. 6ervative government . can ever ex Whether an effort will bt ,de in the other house at to procure an extension of the ved in which the opal bench, leave us little 'to hope from the e 1 for from that quarte Lieutenant Benjamin Alpin has been appointed to com mand the Redwing stedm-packet at this port.

They had already expended a large sum in additional works, and they were, therefore, Jr powers to ,raisea ;her cam gas from Bs. per 1000 feet, in 1841, to 4s. bd. at the pre sent time. The committee in the Commons laid down the maximum price at 4s. 6d. from the Ist of January, 1846, but the company he represented had by anticipation reduced the price to that moderate sum from the previous July. He believed the gas supplied by them was the most brilliant, and the cheapest, yet produced by any company extant. All their accounts had been duly audited, and what they were now about to apply for was to raise a further capital of £200,000, in 2000 shares, at £25 each, carry ou ks for the benefit of the town and neighbourho, Mr. CARSON then called Mr clerk of the Liverpool Gas-light Company Mr. MILLER said he had filled the situation about 17 . . _ . of £lOO. The Company had expended £193,190, by the time they went to Parliament in 1841, when £lOO,OOO was capitalized into 1000 shares, giving two shares to each pro prietor. He then explained that half of the new shares wemium To Mr. EVANS -The whole of our capital, £263,534 has been expended in the works. Of this, £200,000 bears interest at 10 per cent. In 1841, before Parliament, the Company proposed to raise £llO,OOO, but was only Hewed to raise £50,000. The sum of £143,000, The first act obtained did not limit thtm with regard to profits. The charge for 1000 feet of gas was then 15s. About 16 years ago, this was reduced to 12s. 6(1; next reduction was to next to Bs, and then to is The value of the shares in the market was now about £2OO. The total expenditure of the Company for the respective years 1843 to 1846 inclusive, was £60,112. The witness was not prepared to say what expenses had been incurred in works beyond the Parliamentary borough. gs. 6d. The gas rental was at the same time £42,904 4sr. Od., making in all £42,064 6d. 6d. Deducting bia debts and collectors' salaries, the income left was £39,614 Os. sd. The Company provided fittings for the tenants, and in 1846 the profit on this item was £594. In 1844, and again in 1845 the Guardian Gas Company went to Parliament ; and ;the Recorder sug gested a reduction in the former year, which was com plied with, the price being reduced to 4s. 6d. per 1000 feet, which was a loss. We cannot produce gas at that price, and are several thousands short, in consequence, in our dividends. The average, dividend on the whole capi tal of £263,534 was, per share £7. 11s. 9d. Mr. CROOK. an accountant, said he had examined the accounts under the act. He found that the Company could not afford the gas at 4s. 6d., and (as we understood him), that £4924 had to be taken from the reserved fund, but by a reduction stated the loss was reduced to -e' He did not think 4- and for 1846, £H62 lid. a,paym price, and the increase the deficiency Mr. WILLIAM CLEAVER, C 1( •k to the guardians of all the out-townships (with the exception of Garston and Crosbie) gave interesting statistics of the comparative population in each in 1841 and in 1846. The total of the whole nine townships was 123.984. He also gave the number and rateable value of the houses, which from 1841 had increased from 3128 houses to 5212 ; and in value fra . m .. -£77,317 to £114,052. Mr. SHAW, overseer of Everton, and Mr. PARNELL, overseer of Kirkdale, and EILBECK, of Walton, also fur nished statistics, showing a great increase in the number of houses and the population of their respective districts. Mr. Dickenson spoke in' like manner of Toxteth-park, and Mr. Booth as regarded Litherland. Mr. H. WALKER said that in the parish of Liverpool there were of rateable houses and buildings in 1841, in 1846, 42,106,—rateable amount in 1841, 7,059; and in 1846, £1,021,089. , Mr. ALFRED KING, of the Old Gas Company, was next examined at great length, and gave his testimony in a very clear and lucid manner, as to the quantity of gas made by the company, &c. t appeared that in 1844 they . made 153 million cubic feet of gas, and in 1845, 178 mil lion feet, an increase of 241 millions. In 1846 they made 211 - millions—being an average increase on these years of 17 38-100ths. The quantity of gas required would be doubled in 4i years, and trebled in 7 years. Taking the estimates altogether, £151,981 would be required within five years from this date for extensions, &c. and in aliort time' afterwards the full amount of £200,000 woulc require for stations, extensions, &c. Witness, in reply to a question, said the company had now to call for £150,180. They had already about 150 miles of mains laid. The largest were 12-inch bore, (witness described the whole from 12-inch to traversing the streets, with the respective miles). The waste or unaccounted for gas was about 10 per cent. in the pipes, &c. Of the £200,000 now sought to be raised, £50,000 would be dis posable in shares to the public, £50,000 would go to the company, and £lOO,OOO would have to be raised on interest. ,If the present companies were amalgamated, the price of gas might possibly be reduced. He considered a plurality of companies injurious to the public. He thought the Guardian Company mistaken in supposing that the ex tension of his (witness's) company would be injurious. The Corporation had thought of purchasing the two com panies, but had declined to do so from the great expense. Of 1364 streets in Liverpool, 1006 were lighted with gas. The charge for each public gaslight or street lamp was £4 2s. 6d, except the lamps: - The coal used in making the gas was exclusively cannel coal, and now cost 15s. a ton, or nearer 15s. 6d. A ton of this produced 9,600 cubic feet of gas in an hour's working, and 13 cwt. of coke, which was sold at 10s. a ton. Mr. KING, in reply to a question from Mr. Evans, said the number of private lamps in the town did not exceed 14, paying not more than £2O per annum. Mr. MILLER wasthen called and re-examined. He stated, in reply to the 26th requirement, that the cost of the pre. raises and works of the old company was £203,019 Is. 10d . That included lands, buildings, general apparatus, mains, and branch pip es. The lands alone cost £ 52 , 833 1 2s. 3d.

MILLER.—AS regards the income and expenditure for last year. the income from all sources was £44,683 14s. and with reference to the expenditure, I will give the con tracts and the manufactures separate. The cost of canal, and the manufacture of the article, come to £22,914 18s. 3d. We charge wages and every other part of the works to the particular class or item to which it belongs. For wear and tear, that is the necessary repairs to be made in the works, the cost last year was £2348 6s. Bd. The next item is under the head of general expenditure, which amounted to £4319 45., making a total of £29,582 Bs. 11d. Mr. ELLisoN.— You have made no estimate of the annual income and expenditure under the new act ? Mr. MILLER.—That will depend on cirnstances. The rate may be reduced by the recorder, wheffit reaches above a certain amount. Mr. ELLISON.—What is the maximum of the rate ? Mr. MILLER.—It can be reduced by the recorder after it reaches 4s. 6d. in the pound. Mr. ELLISON.—.Then your dividends are limited ? Yes, sif. Mr. EVANS then aged that he had a few observation .0 make on the bill which was then before them. Ho ed on the present occasion, as he had done on ieveral previous occasions, the consumers of gas within the borough of Liverpool. He should render but com mon justice to the company to whom he was opposed, when he stated that he had received from them every kindness and accommodation in their power to afford him. Every account and any information they had called for had been willingly given ; but still there was a limit be yond which he could not, if he could help it, allow them to go. According to the 4th Vic., eh. 2, and sec. 8, this company was for the first time restricted in the amount of interesVhey were to raise of their capital ; and accord !rig to the3d clause of the same it was enacted that any justice might examine a witness on oath touching the truth of their accounts, and if such a witness should swear, and distinctly prove that the income of the com pany exceeded 10 per cent. per annum, it should be in the power of such justice to make a fair and equitable reduction in the price of gas. They had it in evidence that the capital of the company at present amointed to £264,000, of which £200,000 was producing interest ; and, in addition to that sum, they now sought for terest at the the year after the company .e though efficiently large tat the capital for all their exertions if they confined themselves within the limits of the parliamentary borough, and also that they were not justified in seeking new capital for the extension of their works when they had made no attempt to carry into effect He wound s in conclusion, that for the which they soug )oses for lore was no before the court to entitle them to recieve it. Mr. ELLISON.—Do you wish to call any witnesses, Sir ? Mr. EVAN S.-No, Sir. Mr. SWIFT then rose, and said that he would state very shortly the case of the Guardian Gas Company, for whom he appeared. He was opposed by his two learned friends, who always opposed every person. Mr. SHUTTLEWORTH said that he appeared on behalf of the Town Council, to watch the inquiry. In his op position, however, he would be strictly guided by what might take place during the proceedings. He did not wish to have it understood that he came there to oppose Feb. 0,1847.

The Iberia, Oriental and Peninsular Company's steam' ship, Captain Meehan, arrived on Saturday with the usual Peninsular mails. £lO,OOO, a great portion a which bore interest at 10 per cent. also ; and while he was on the subject of capital, it would be vain for him to close his eyes to the fact that a third company was also . in the field with capital to the amount of £133,000, so he thought that, taken altogether, there was no lack of capital to produce gas for the people of Liverpool. The committee of the House of Com mons, when the Guardian Gas Company were before them, endeavouring to compel the two existing companies to amalgamate, did not think proper to either force them to amalgamation or to give that company their bill. If they had compelled them to do so, it would have required less capital to supply the town and district with the necessar amount of gas ; but no attempt had been made by either company, so far as he could learn, to accomplish that object, for they had,it in evidence also, although it was given somewhat reluctantly by Mr. King, that the present company, by confining itself to the boundary of the par liamentary borough, would have realised a greater amount of profit than they have done by extending their exertions to the districts surrounding the town. If the clause to which he alluded was not a delusion altogether, its effect TES AND DEATII OF OENERAI' must be to confine the amount of the company's capital, and also to fix their dividends within a circumscribed limit ; for if they could get a capital as large as what they sought for; the day never would come when the public would enjoy a reduction in the price of gas. If the exor bitant demand of an additional- capital of £200,000 were to be now acceded to, he. would ask what guarantee they had that next year a demand fully as extraordinary would not be made, and that a larger amount would not be The Iberia brings news of the total defeat of the Alive' lite portion of the rebel army, ruder General Macdonello at Soborosa, and the death of the general, who has been hewn down by one of the Queen's troopers. The only information respecting this affair is contained in the fol lowing communication, which was forw ar d e d from Oporto just as th e Ib er i a was leaving : " " Oporto, Feb. 2. The Miguelites in Tras-os-Montes have been com pletely dispersed by Vinhaes and Lapa, General Macdo nell being killed, and many other chiefs, at Saborosa, above Villa Poua d'Agmar." I hear from private sources, that thi has somewhat anexpeeted defeat the rebels concentrated in Oporto, although it has in no wise damped their ardour for the forthcoming struggle. Every possible preparation was being made to gi v e th e Queen's troops a warm reception. The strongest fortifications werebeing prosecuted with all expedition and vigour ; and all capable of bearing arms had enrolled thwaselves, and were ready for the conflict that will decide the fate of thousands. The last accounts from Saldanha were, that his quarters were at Agueda, about 30 miles from Coimbra, and therefore it was un likely that he would march towards Oporto so early as was at first anticipated: I am just inf- ned that a decree is to appear in a da) ( or two, taking off the double decima from the foreign debt.

The celebraTteCiTna . rriage of Mr. H. A.

In the House of Commons on Friday, Colonel Sibthori gave notice, that if no more competent member would bring in a Bill for the better regulation of Railways, be should on an early day move for leave to bring in a Bill to compel Railway Companies to give ample compensation to the survivors of those persons who should have lost their lives by accidents on railways IRISH RELIEF —What is to be the end of it ?

Mr. LLOYD and Mr. CARSON stated that they respect ively appeared on behalf of the existing companies, to op- • p‘/OC , LIIG 1..111.40.1 l 1..11CL0 VV 1.111, all, • Mr. SWIFT then proceeded to state, that the bill which he had charge of was a bill for lighting the borough and township of Liverpool with gas. He did not think it ne cessary to read the clauses ; but he might state that the promoters of this bill were the consumers of gas in Liver- pool, and they required Rowers to raise £130,000 of capi tal for that purpose. He would go through all the re quirements, on which he would give the most ample evi dence, but he would not trouble them with any length ened statement. He would not follow Mr. Carson through what "he had stated with reference to his case. It had been said, and much stress had been . laid on that view of the case, that the limitation made in the powers of the company, in 1844, were quite well cgdculated to rectify all evils which might previously have existed in the working of this company ; but, like most fine, parliamentary ar rangements, it proved a decided failure. That restriction was in operation in 1842, but then no reduction took place until 1844, when they were forced to reduce by the pow erful influence of opposition. Then it was that they found out for the first time that they could afford to sell gas to the public at the reduced price of 6s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet. Then it was found that this miracu lous clause did not produce any farther salutary effect, until another year had elapsed, when the Guardi an _ Gas Company, for the first time went tb Parliamentin April, 1844, for their bill ; and immediately down came the price of gas to 6s. Again, when the Guar dian Company persevered in their undertaking, down it came to 55., below which they had stated in parlia ment it would be ruinous to sell it ; and still, in the face of all this, it was found expedient to make a further re duction to 4s. 6d., the price at which they now took their stand,—thus presenting to the public a most anomalous sort of speculation, for they virtually said that they were supplying gas to the public at a losing rate—rather a rare thing to find the merchants of Liverpool doing I And in order to meet the difficulty, they wished to double their capital—double their trade, and still tell at the ruinous prices ! The'question appeared to him simply to be, that they must be labouring under some mistake when they thought of submitting such a proposition to the public. They must be under such a mistake as they had been labouring under all along, from the time they charged 12s. until they fixed the price at 4s. 6d. per 1000 feet. However, he would briefly state what they (the Guardian Gas Company) intended doing. They proposed to sell their gas at 3s. Bd, per 1000 feet, and still to maintain the dividends at 10 per cent , The gas which Mr. Carson said cost the present company 2 s. 9 d. at prime cost, he would prove to their satisfaction could be produced at much less. He would prove they could light the public lamps at £3. 10s. Sd., instead of the price —€4. 2s. 6d., which was at present charged for that, accommodation. He would prove that he could do so, and still have a re munerative profit ; and, 'having done so, lie would leave the case in the hands of the court at that preliminary stage of the proceedings. He proposed to have 74 per cent. of a bona fide interest, to have 3s. Bd. the thousand feet the price to private consumers, to have the public le cost of £3. 10s. Bd., and tiona fr lamps supplied at the bona fic to have a bona fide capital for their Company Mr. M`DONALD, tile secretary of tile Guardian Gas Company, was then called, and examined by Mr. SWIFT, to prove some of the requirements, which he did. He was cross-examined at considerable length, by both Mr.. CARSON and Mr. LLOYD, after which the court adjourned till this morning at ten o'clock. IRISH PAUPERISM IN LIVERPOOL It was stated at the last meeting of the Selest Vestry, that Mr. Austin, the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, had prepared a plan, with a view to the prevention of im posture upon the parish, by which the town was to be di vided into convenient districts, and relief administered Lo parties pplying for relief at their own homes. For this service twenty-four suitable men were picked out of the police force, to whom the task of visiting was committed. We believe the result has been so far s uccessful, that many cases of deception have been found out, and the parties practising it deprived of further opportunity of preying upon the industry and the means of the ratepayers of Liverpool. The number of persons relieved during the week, under this system, we are not at,present in a posi tion to state. It is, however, less than that relieved dur ing the preceding week. Yet the saving in money will be found to be small. This is to be accounted for by the fact that whilst the relieving officers of the Select Vestry have taken down the number of the family of each applicant — generally exaggerated with a view to procure an increased quantityof rations and:soup tickets,—they have exercised a discretion as to the cases in which such exaggeration ap pcoeraredely.

PASSING BASE COIN.—A man, named Andrew Pady, was brought up at thePolicwei-tchouprtas, sinygestbearsdeay, shillingrd charged before Mr. Rushton pieces. It appeared from the evidence, that on Tuesday morning last, he went into the shop of Mr. John Wil liams, King-street, and asked for a glass of ale, which he paid for with a bad shilling. He had scarcely gone out, when another of a gang to which he belonged entered the house and perpetrated the same t r i c k. As the matter was not noticed in time by the servant who received the counterfeits, Mr. Williams could take no notice of the occurrence. On Saturday last, the fellow had the au dacity to return, with the view of " repeating the dose," when he was taken into custody ; but as the landlord al lowed the shilling to pass out of his hands for a few mi nutes, and as he could not state whether it might not then have been changed, the prisoner got the benefit of the doubt, and he was discharged. OVERGROWN PARISHES. - We cannot quit the subject of the increase of bishops without remarking, that excel lent as it is, a vastly greater reform remains to be achieved. If our overgrown sees—such as Chester and London—re quire division, what is to be said of our overgrown parishes ? We have now about twenty or thirty Parish es in England, containing from 60,000 to 140;000 inhabitants in each !

Medicine was also given to him by order of the captain, and it appeared from the whole of the evidence, that no imputation whatever could be attached to the captain or any of the officers of the ship. Deceased said that he belonged to Plymouth. The case was adjourned until to morrow, for the purpose of bringing up the log-book, and also one of the seamen as a witness, none of the crew or the captain being present in the court. The deceased was unable to do any duty to speak of during the voyage, and had stated to the mate of the ship that he believed he could not recover from disease of the liver.

On Saturday the Rev. M. A. Gathercole and his bro ther were acquitted at the New Court, London, of the charge of having obtained a considerable sum of money by' false pretences. The defendants believed the prosecutor had had something to do with a fraud practied on them, and by a stratagem induced him to advance a large sum of money ; but as soon as they discovered their mistake they restored the money. The prosecutor, therefore, withdrew the indictment.

The charges are of an extraordinary nature. A meeting Of the Irish party took plEicein - Tondon on Saturday. Lord Monteagle took the chair, and six other noblemen and twenty-four members of parliament were present. Among them were the Marquis of Sligo and Earl of Mountcashel, two O'Connells, G. A.
