Varlianittail! 13rorri:ti1gs. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. The Duke of CLEVEI,A ND presented a petition, praying for the establishment of a new see of Manchester. IRISH CHURCH. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition of which he had given notice, upon the subject of the Irish church. This gave rise to a conversation, in which the Earl of Wicittow and the Marquis of CLA NRICARDE expressed themselves favourable to the payment of the catholic clergy by the state. CORONERS BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved, that this bill be read a third time. Agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. Several unopposed bills were advanced a stage (amongst which was the Austrian Slave Trade Bill.) The house ordered the committal to Newgate, in pur suance of the report of the Epworth petition, of Samuel Potts, for forgery of petitions presented to the house. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND BENEFICES BILL. The second reading of the Church of Scotland Benefices Bill was moved by Sir J. GRAHAM in a speech of great length, in which he entered into an historical view of the question, from the time of the reformation down to the present time. In answer to the objection, that the bill was " too late," he said that the government could not interfere while the Church of Scotland was in opposition to the law of the land; but, that objection having been removed by the acts of the assembly, the present measure was now introduced in the hope of securing and building up a church which he believed still retained its place in the hearts and affections of the people. Mr. WALLACE opposed the second reading. He con sidered that the bill being brought in in the month of July, so late in the session, was as great an affront to the peo ple of Scotland as the a,A of Anne, which had been passed with such breathless haste. The bill, instead of removing, would tend to create, doubts and litigation hitherto un known. There was no petition in favour of it; and, if it passed, the majority of the inhabitants of Scotland would secede from the church. He therefore moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. B. COCHRANE opposed the bill. Mr. RUTHERFORD also expressed his surprise at the bill being brought in at this late period of the session. Formerly Scotland was blessed with a church which had the entire confidence of the nation ; now they were to be cursed with a church which commanded the confidence of none. He lauded the conduct of the ministers who had seceded, and felt proud of his countrymen when he con sidered that for conscience sake 200 licentiates of the church had renounced what would have been the highest object of their ambition. If the bill were to be brought forward at all, it should have been introduced before the secession ; but, in the present temper of the people, it would only aggravate the evils, and drive more of its mem bers from the established church. Sir W. FOLLETT differed from the hon. gentleman as to the propriety of introducing the bill before the seces sion. No government could sanction or satisfy the claims of the non-intrusionists, as they sought the total abroga tion of patronage, and even taught that the church courts could setat defiance the acts of the legislature. The present measure, whose object was the removal of doubts, was ac ceptable to the general assembly, and those adhering to the established church. Lord J. RUSSELL complained of the House of Com mons, enacting a declaratory law contrary to the opinion of Lord Cottenham and the highest legal authorities in the land. According to this bill, a clergyman might now preach, any body might object, but there was no power in any one to come to a decision. This bill, then, by its enacting part, gave a new and dangerous power to the church. It gave a judgment to the church courts on the objection of two or three persons, against the opinions of all the rest of the congregation. Sir G. CLERK believed the practical effect of the bill would he to induce the patrons to use a greater degree of care in the selection of their candidates. No petitions had been presented against the bill, nor had any presbytery expressed an opinion adverse to it. Mr. F. MAULE thought this was not a measure calcu lated to aid the church of Scotland, but to further the cause of that which he called the church, by creating diflerences in the church established by law. The main objection to the bill was that it gave power to the church which ought not to be placed in their hands ; and it was that objection which led those who had seceded to refuse it in 1810. This bill would only prevent those from seceding whom it was not worth while for the church to retain, or for the seceders to accept. Mr. A. CAMPBELL with great warmth opposed the bill as most unconstitutional, and most unworthy of a conser vative government. Mr. H. JOHNSTONE hailed the bill as a great boon to the whole population of Scotland. Sir R. PEEL had heard no objection to the bill on the ground that it was at variance with the general usage of the church, or the general principles of the law. His be lief was that the bill was acceptable to a very large portion of the people of Scotland ; he believed that the secession from the church would have been much larger, if her ma jesty's government had refused to interfere by legislation. The impediment of the veto act had been removed, and he trusted a large body of the house would support her ma • jesty's government in their attempt to abate a tremendous evil to Scotland and to the cause of religion. The house then divided, when the second reading was carried by a majority of 98 to 80. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY. MORTMAIN. Lord J. MANNERS called the attention of the house to the restrictions imposed on private charity by the law of mortmain, contending that they ought now no longer to fetter the benevolence of individuals. Ile reviewed the statutes on this subject, down to the 9th of George 11., and contended that they have become impolitic in a state of things in which rebellion is rife throughout the land, engendered by distress and ignorance, of which these laws obstruct relief. It might, perhaps, be feared that undue influences would be exercised over dying men; but there might be a limitation, allowing them to dispose of only a certain proportion —say a third—of their property. In stead, however, of requiring the grant to be made twelve months, and to be enrolled six before the testator's death, the law might shorten those respective periods to one month and one week. There were some institutions which had been made exceptions ; but why should Green wich Hospital or a particular charity at Bath be thus permitted to receive donations which a testator was for bidden to bestow upon a school or hospital in a manufac • turing district? He wished to see a restoration, in some sort, of religious houses ; without some monastic institu tions, he could not hope that any adequate relief would be given to the great masses now labouring under such fearful privations. He happened to know that at this moment an elderly lady was desirous to bestow £25,000 for the building of churches ; and this donation would or would not he valid as the testatrix should or should not live over the winter. Many more such instances might be specified. Calling upon the house to sweep away the cobwebs of ancient legislation, and open the way for the bounty of charitable testators, he concluded by moving a resolution that it is inexpedient to continue the existing restrictions. Sir J. GRAHAM could not consent, at so late a period of the session, and in so thin a house, to disturb one of the great arrangements of the law of real property. Nor could he agree in the expediency of establishing, in these times, religious houses or monastic institutions. In such a matter, too, it would have been more fitting that the noble lord should have proposed a hill than a mere ab- . . stract resolution. Therefore, with all respect for the motives and intentions of the mover, he must resist this proposition. - Mr. C. BULLER supported Lord J. Manners. Sir R. INGLis could not join in the views of the mover, least of all in his wish to revive monastic institutions. Though there were restrictions as to land, personalty was unrestricted ; and this kind of property had grown in modern times to a bulk undreamt of by the makers of the mortmain acts. Lord JOHN MANNERS replied, consenting to wave a division. The motion was thereupon withdrawn. IRISH CHURCH. Mr. WARD then brought on his motion for an address to the Queen, affirming the Church of Ireland to be among the most prominent grievances of her people, and pledg ing the house to co-operate with her Majesty in a new settlement of the.property of that church. The clear re venue of the Protestant Church was about £552,753, being at the rate of about 15s. a head for each communi cant of the Establishment ; while the Regium donum to the Presbyterians made provision only at the rate of about Is. a head ; and for the Roman Catholics there was not a farthing,. The existence of such a church was regarded by the Irish not only as an injury, but as an insult. Being men, they must be governed, and they could not be go verned thus. You could not thus govern 8,000,000 of people, living in the midst of you, and knit together by the bond of a common justice. He would propose alto gether to break up the present establishment of bishops and archbishops in Ireland, and would look only to the working clergy. He would legalize the titles of the Roman Catholic Bishops, and restore the churches which had been anciently taken from Roman Catholic congregations. Some thought that the best course would be to transfer the whole establishment to the Roman Catholics. That might have been done at the Union ; nay, as late as 1825, the priests were willing to accept remuneration from the state; but this willingness had ceased. Some thought a provision should be made for the Catholic clergy from the consolidated fund ; but the objection to that was simply that it would be impossible; the English and Scotch peo ple would never consent to it. As to the funds of the church, he would place them, subject to existing interests, in the hands of commissioners, and distribute them among the members of the Establishment, the Presby terians, and the Roman Catholics, acco r di ng t o t h e num bers of each denomination. Lord ELIOT said that Mr. Ward had ad m itt e d th a t no man who voted for this address could stop there; and it was, therefore, for gentlemen to consider whether they were prepared to vote for the total destruction of th e Protestant Church. The question of a Protestant Esta blishment was also the question of a Protestant Sovereign ; certainly, until the throne should be opened to the Catho lics, they had not the complete equality demanded on their behalf. The total reveuue of the Irish Church, which Mr. Ward had put at upwards of £552,000, was, in fact, £432,123 ; and this sum, when distributed among 1396 beneficed clergymen, and 744 curates, gave an average income of little more than £2Ol to each. Gentlemen talked•of the Roman Catholics as if they were the whole people of Ireland—treating the entire body of the Pro- 1.• • • • testant proprietors as no part of that people. Mr. Ward had said that the English and Scotch nations would never consent to tax themselves for the maintenance of the Roman Catholic clergy. Did he suppose those two na tions would ever consent to the abolition of the Protestant Church ? The language now employed was strangely at variance with the assurances given when the emancipation was carried. There was then, on the subject of the Church, a distinct understanding and compact, which it would be a plain breach of faith in the government now to violate. The debate was then adjourned. ' . • • \ , _►'l ~'.i N "t ), 4 3_'_ "~ \. ,\ , , • HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. Mr. TRELAWNEY (on the adjourned debate being re sumed) contended that the right of the church to its pro perty was not indefeasible, and condemned the applica tion of a coercive policy to Ireland. Sir R. INGLIS maintained the title of the church to its endowments. The mover, whatever else might be im puted to him, could not be accused of having deceived the house ; he had taken away from Lord John Russell and his partisans all excuse for voting in favour of the motion. He bad broadly proposed to strip from the church in Ireland all the revenue it possessed except £7o,ooo—that is, to take away 7-Bths, or 17 s . 6d. i n th e pound ; and yet had gravely added, that this was no un worthy compromise ! He had left the church with scarce a rag to cover her nakedness, and then, putting a halter round her neck, had handed the other end of the rope to her bitterest enemies. The manner of the hon. member had, indeed, been courteous; but the bowstring was not less fatal because it might be made of silk. He admitted that in some respects the Church of Ireland had failed of her duty ; in particular, the Scriptures ought to have been translated in the language of the people. But he denied the validity of the arguments deduced from former abuses of that church, and showed the improvements of its mi nistry in recent times. Mr. Ward, however, grounded his reasoning mainly upon numbers, and was prepared to establish the creed of Bramah or of Fo, if it were the creed of the majority. From that principle he dissented ; for he was persuaded that it was just as much our public as our private duty to teach and advance what we believed to be the true religion. The question, moreover, was not what religion we should establish ; the motion went not to establish a religion, but to destroy one already esta blished ; and that, too, by more than any ordinary law, by a compact of two independent legislatures. The mul titudes, therefore, who were collected to destroy that es tablishment were not entitled to plead that they were seeking only the repeal of a statute. When emancipation was conceded, it was upon the assurances, given by the leading Catholics themselves, that it would not be employed to weaken, but would rather avail to fortify, the Protes tant church. He would maintain that church, because he believed its doctrine to be the truth, because it was a doctrine established by the treaty of two kingdoms, be cause he valued it for its works of charity, and because he regarded it as the great bond of connexion between England and Ireland. Lord LISTOWEL declaimed against'the Irish Church settlement as contrary to principle and common sense ; and pronounced it to be a just retribution that Ireland should have become a source of danger to England. Lord BERNARD asked how long a majority, who found it thus intolerable to acquiesce in a Protestant Church, would submit to a Protestant monarchy ? He contended that the Church now established in Ireland was the Church of the ancient Irish people, and went into historical cita tions in support of this proposition, showing that though the Bishops in that country had not acceded to the refor mation, it had been adopted by the Chiefs and the laity, who had given their full adhesion to HENRY VIII. But he would uphold the Protestant church on other and high er grounds —on the grounds of its own superiority, and the duty of extending its faith among the people. He denied the value of arguments deduced from by-gone abuses of the church, and bore his testimony to the merits of the Protestant clergy of the present time. Mr. COCHRANE said, that as the arguments for the mo tion were only what they had been on former occasions,. he trusted the division against the m wou ld b e as d ec i s i ve as heretofore. He was glad to find that the Government took a tone of determination against such a proposal. He did not see that the concessions already made had improved our position. The expediency of paying the Roman Cath olic clergy was a very different question from the fitness of stripping the Protestant church. The mover did not ask to take the whole ; but after the arguments which had been used about the past, he wished to know what security there was that if more were given now, the rest would not shortly be demanded. He exhorted the Government to act with that strength which was better than the force of ma jorities—with strength of mind. Mr. V. STUART desired the house to consider the church question not as an isolated one, but as one connec ted with all the other Irish questions. This was not an affair of religion, but an affair of money ; and they who put it on religious grounds showed little confidence in their own church, when they treated it as incapable of support ing itself without those vast pecuniary means. The Pro testant church was that great grievance which had hitherto kept the people in misery. It had not even accomplished its own purposes; for the numbers of the Roman Catho lics were increasing in a larger proportion than those of the Protestants. Mr. HARDY dwelt upon the assurances so repeatedly given by the Roman Catholics when they were seeking emancipation, that there was no desire on their part to dis turb the Protestant Church ; and he read the oath which is taken by Roman Catholic members of the legislature against attempting any such disturbance. Those who talked about freedom of religion did not themselves con cede it : the Roman Catholic poor were not allowed by their own authorities to read their Bible ; and if any one of them should seek instruction by attending a Protestant place of worship, he would be denounced from the altar as a man to be shunned by all his neighbours. Mr. Hardy was proceeding, when a motion was made that the house should be counted ; and it being found that there were not 40 members present, the house was adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. On the motion for reappointing the orders which had been dropped the preceding day, Mr. WARD announced, that, having been treated with the utmost courtesy by the government, and having lost his motion by the non-attend, ance of his own friends, he should not renew the subject in this session. B u t he could not help censuring, as childish and silly, the practice of watching a critical mo ment, and getting half a dozen members to walk away, for the purpose of reducing the numbers below the quorum of 40. In the present instance the result had been pecu liarly unfortunate, because it would probably be miscon strued by the Irish into a disregard of their country. Mr. ESCOTT, by whom the house had been counted out, vindicated the rule of the house which requires the pre sence of a competent number of members. He had thought it is duty to take care that so important a subject should not be discussed in so thin an assembly. Mr. ROCHE thanked Mr. Escott i43r having taken a course by which a flimsy veil had been torn from the countenances of the professing friends of Ireland. Mem bers connected with the existing government had been in their places, but lords and gentlemen, the leaders of the late ministry, had all been absent on this pet question of the whigs. He had twice counted the house, and had foreseen that it would be counted out; indeed he would have done that himself, but that he had thought some body would say, " This repealer is factious." The result confirmed him in the opinion that English members were indifferent to Irish interests. Mr. R. YORKE said, that though the government would perhaps have done more worthily and wisely to rescue this great question from the abandonment of its friends, yet the responsibility for that shameful conclusion was not on them, but on the party with whom he himself was ac customed to act, and whose conduct on such occasions was petty and paltry. ' Mr. SHAW, with reference to a particular statement in the debate on MI. Ward's motion, informed the house that many thousands of prayer-books in the Irish lan guage had been printed and circulated. - The house then went on to the Limitation of Actions (Ireland) Bill. The SPEAKER. having left the chair, the committee heard counsel for certain petitioners against the measure, and afterwards proceeded to discuss the clauses in detail. When the chairman reported progress the committee had proceeded as far as the 16th clause. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. The house held a day sitting, again meeting at twelve o'clock. The Hackney Carriages Bill went through committee : the Highway Rates Bill was read a third time and passed. Some discussion took place on committees on the Thea tres Regulations Bill, but the clauses were agreed to with slight alterations. The house then resolved itself into a committee on the Irish Poor-laws. On clause 16, which gives power to the guardians to advance funds to paupers for the purpose of emigrating, Mr. Ross moved an amendment, vesting this power in the rate-payers, but the clause was carried on a division. On the order of the day for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. DUNCOMBE moved, that a petition he had presented in the month of May last, complaining of the conduct of the magistrates of Hull in dispersing a public meeting, on the 13th of April, in that town, should be re ferred to a select committee. Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the motion, and, after a brief discussion, it was negatived by a majority of 54. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to Mr. BORTHWICK, would " not pledge himself " to name any particular day for the hon. gentleman's motion respecting Don Carlos. Mr. BLEWLTT gave notice that he should next session introduce a bill to prevent the sovereign of any foreign state from sitting and voting in the House of Lords. The house then formed itself into a committee of sup ply, and Sir G. CLERK proposed a sum of £1,281,211 to be granted as compensation to the holders of the opium delivered up to the Chinese in ]B3B. A long debate followed, which occupied the remainder of the night, and on a division the resolution was carried by a majority of 47. The Admiralty Lands Bill was read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY. The report on the Liverpool Fire Prevention Bill was brought up and agreed to. The report of the Hackney and Stage Carriages Bill was brought up and agreed to. The Limitation of Actions Bill and the Mandamus Ap peal Bills were read a third time and passed. The report on the Theatres Regulations Bill was brought on and agreed to, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Sir J. GRAHAM moved, that the house resolve itself into committee on the Customs Bill, upon which Mr. BANKES complained that no statement had been made as `.‘ THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD to the contemplated effect of the whole measure, of the increased power given to the heads of the Customs de partment of administering oaths, and that the clause re lating to the treaty with America went too far. Mr. GLADSTONE said, that, in bills such as this, that formed a part of a general system, it was necessary that an exposition given of its objects must be in general terms. The intentions of the bill were as numerous as the clauses of it. He suggested that the discussion should be postponed till they went into committee. Mr. BANKES acquiesced and the house went into com mittee. Clause to 9 inclusive were agreed to. Clause 10, re lating to watches, were struck out. The clauses to 13 were agreed to. On clause 14, providing that manufactures of Gibraltar, Malta, and Heligoland, manufactured of materials of foreign origin, be charged as foreign, being read, Mr. V. GIBSON objected to the clause, and said he would divide the committee upon it. After a short conversation, the house divided, when the ciause was carried by a majority of 87 to 14. With reference to clause 25, which had been dwelt upon by Mr. Bankes, Mr. GLADSTONE entered into a very long explanation. Mr. BANKES said the right hon. gentleman had not satisfied him on his main point. He should therefore move the insertion of words which would prevent an im proper introduction of agricultural produce under the 3d article of the treaty. Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was not quite fair that ho nourable members who had concurred in thanking with Ministers and Lord Ashburton, with regard to this treaty, should now, when called upon to give effect to its pro visions, turn round and condemn it. Nothing could be more clear than the third article. Mr. G. BANKES said he was willing to fulfil the treaty literally, but the clause went beyond the meaning of the article it was intended to give effect to. After some further discussion, and an explanation from Sir R. PEEL, Mr. G. BANKES said (amid much laughter and cries of " divide, divide ") he would not divide the house on his amendment. The clause was, therefore, agreed to. The house re sumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. THE COURT. On Thursday her Majesty and Prince Albert, accom panied by the Prince of Wales, and Princess Royal, and their illustrious visitors and their respective suites, pro ceeded in the state carriage of the Great Western Railway Company to Windsor. Her Majesty arrived at Slough from Paddington in exactly 27 minutes. Mr. Russell, M.P., Mr. Guppy, and Mr. Jones, (th r ee of the direc tors of the company,) and Saunders, the secretary, were in attendance upon her Majesty to Slough. The Queen was escorted to Windsor by a detachment of the Ist Re giment of Life Guards, under the command of Lieutenant Lowther. The most extensive preparations were made at the Slough station for the reception and accommoda tion of her Majesty and her illustrious visitors and suites. under the superintendence of Mr. Howell. The platform (from which the public were entirely excluded) was covered with a splendid crimson carpet leading to the royal apart ment, through which her Majestyproceeded to her carriage. It is not expected that the stay of the Court at Windsor Castle will be prolonged beyond this day, at which period it is now arranged for her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert, with their royal and illustrious visi tors, to proceed to Buckingham Palace for three or four days, where her Majesty, it is believed, will give another party before the departure of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Augusta, and their Serene High nesses the Duke Ferdinand and the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburgh Gotha, for the Continent. The return of the Court to Windsor is expected to take place about the following Satnrday, the 12th instant. Her Majesty will then remain at the Castle until the prorogation of parlia ment. Sir Augustus D'Este has, it is said, presented a peti- tion to the Queen, claiming . to be entitled to the titles of his father, the late Duke of Sussex.—Standard. The Duke of Wellington has caused cards to be issued for a splendid banquet on Saturday next, the 12th inst., to meet the King of Hanover, for which a most distin guished circle have received invitations. LORD MELBOURNE AND THE COURT.—It iS said that her Majesty and Prince Albert, previous to their departure for Windsor, presented Viscount Melbourne with their portraits, superbly painted, three-quarter lengths. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Tuesday, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, Mr. George Chet wynd, eldest son of Sir G. Chetwynd, Bart., led to the altar Lady Charlotte Hill, eldest daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Gerald Valerian Wellesly officiated at the ceremony. PRESENT OF A WELSH HARP TO THE PRINCE OF WALES.—On Thursday evening, by her Majesty's com mand, the Rev. Mr. Price, vicar of Cymdu, so well known for his taste, talents, and learning, as one of the most eminent antiquaries of Wales, attended at Buckingham Palace with the beautiful Welsh triple harp made expressly for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, by Mr. Bas sett Jones of Cardiff, and which national tribute of loyalty her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were graciously pleased to permit the Prince of Wales to accept. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael Paulo witsch, only brother to his imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia and to the Queen of the N etherlands, is expec ted to arrive in town at th e close' of the ensuing week, on a short visit to this country. The Grand Duke and suite are now staying at the Baths of Kissengen, in Bavaria, whence his Royal Highness is expected to make a brief sojourn at the Hague, en route to England. THE KING OF HANOVER.—The King of Hanover, we understand, intends giving a grand dinner to the principal nobility and gentry previous to his majesty leaving this country for his dominions. We have heard that up wards of 400 cards of invitation have been issued, without any distinction whatever to political parties. The leading families of both wbigs and tories have been invited to the dinner. The banquet will be held at St. James's Palace. —Standard. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glocester visited his Majesty the King of Hanover, on Wednesday. The King, attended by the Baron de Reitzenstein, honoured the Earl of Shaftesbury with his company at dinner. His Majesty afterwards honoured the Duke of Wellington with his company at the grand concert given by hls Grace at Apsley House. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Augusta So merset, also honoured the noble Duke with their company in the evening. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wirtemberg, with General Baron Maucler and Count Zeppelin, attache's to the person of His Royal Highness, left Mivart's Hotel at ten o'clock on Saturday morning for Blackwall, to em bark for Antwerp, from whence the Crown Prince repairs direct to Stutgardt. At the same time their Serene High nesses Prince Peter and Princess of Oldenburg and family, embarked on board the same steamer, after a compara tively brief sojourn in this country. THE VACANT GARTER.—The names of several dis tinguished noblemen have been circulated at the clubs for the Garter at the disposal of the Premier by the death of the Duke of Dorset; but we have reason to believe the honour has not yet been awarded to any personage. This is the sixth Garter that has been in the gift of Sir Robert Peel since he came into office—namely, those held by the Earl of Westmorland, Marquis Wellesley, Marquis of Hertford, Duke of Dorset, Duke of Norfolk, and Duke of Cleveland. The Earl and Countess of Wilton and a large party pro ceed to the Mediterranean, in the course of the present month, where they are expected to remain on a cruise, in his lordship's splendid yacht, until the end of September. THE FORTHCOMING COMEDY.—The authoress of the forthcoming comedy at the Haymarket is, according to generally received rumour, Lady Wortley, daughter of the Duke of Rutland. and who is married to the second son of Lord Wharncliffe, President of the Council. A ROYAL BRIDE.—The Debals gives the following description of the Princesse de Joinville :—" Her Royal Highness is tall and elegantly formed. Her forehead is high and commanding, and her eyes remarkably beautiful and expressive, by turns of a noble gravity or radiant vivacity. To present her full portrait in writing is not possible, but a just idea of it may be formed by those who knew the Princess Marie, Duchess Alexandre of Wurtem. berg ; for the countenance possesses the same mild dig nity, the head has the same pure and fascinating lines which, alas ! exist no more, but in the ineffaceable recol lections she has left behind, but of which the Princesse de Joinville has brought into her new family a living resemblance, as if it were the original still smiling in her youth and happiness." A CONJUGAL DISAGREEMENT.—BERLIN.—The un fortunate differences between Prince Albert of Prussia and his consort, Princess Marianna of the Netherlands, sister of the reigning King of Holland, form the general topic of conversation. Domestic disagreements of the most serious nature rendered it expedient that there should be a separation, though not a formal divorce. With this view the Princess was recommended to go to reside with her father, the ex-King of the Netherlands, who was then at the Hague, and it was determined that she should not return to Berlin until after Prince Albert's departure for his journey into the East, which was ex pected to occupy at least two years. The Princess did not return to Berlin until after the departure of the Prince, her husband, whose travels in Syria and Palestine, and visit to the Court of the Sultan, have recently been re ported in the journals. It would seem, however, that these travels and receptions have not afforded the illus trious Prince so much gratification as might have been expected, for it is understood that he is preparing to re turn to Berlin. No sooner was the intended return of the Prince made known here, than preparations for the departure of the Princess were immediately set on foot. It is the intention of her Royal Highness to proceed with her two children to Italy.—Brussels paper. THE ARISTOCRACY AND THEIR SERVANTS.—The Court Gazette says,—" The stewards and housekeepers of the nobility often make large fortunes at the expense of their masters. We have known 20, and even 50, per cent. offered to them by tradesmen, as a remuneration for getting the custom of their employers ! How can this be made up except by plunder ? We know of entertainments given below stairs, in some of the squares , more costly (if not more select) than those given in the drawing-room. The lady of a Prime Minister (whom we shall not name) told us that the whole of the aristocracy were the slaves of their servants. I cannot offer you any refreshments,' said she, 'but I dare say there are hot pheasants and champagne in the steward's room.' " UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NITVS. PROMOTIONS. The Rev.

KING'S COLLEGE.—On Friday last, James Jeffreys, Bumpstead, was elected a fellow of this society. On Tuesday last, at Eton, the eight senior King's scholars were superannuated ; amongst whom was Carter, whose turn, from his position in the college, it wae to succeed to a fellowship at King's College. No vacancy, however, having been declared to have taken place at King's when the college clock struck the hour of two on Tuesday forenoon, the senior King's scholar at Eton loses his fellowship. The Bishop of Hereford, acting for the Bishop of Lichfield, in his late tour in Staffordshire, confirmed 10,478 persons. The British Bible Society has just presented to the Royal Library a collection of bibles in 82 different lan guages, consisting of 119 volumes. Jesus College, Oxford, was entered on Tuesday last by means of skeleton keys, and robbed of plate valued at nearly £3OO. The parish church of St. Michael, Lichfield, was re opened on Thursday week, after having been closed for the past twelve months. The whole of the nave and aisles have been partly rebuilt and wholly restored. The election of a chaplain to the London Female Orphan Asylum took place on Thursday, when the Rev. R. S. Cattley was elected by a majority of 119 over his oppo nent, the Rev. W. Curling. CHRIST CHURCH, TURNHAM-GREEN.—On Thursday week the ceremony of the consecration of the newly erected church for the parish of Chiswick, called Christ Church, Turnham-green, was performed by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London. JUVENILE BAZAAR.—The gross amount raised by the bazaar held last week at Ashton-under-Lyne, for the Church Sunday Schools, including the donations by se veral gentlemen, amounts to the handsome sum of £156, enabling the committee to realize at least £145. On Monday, Stamford was visited by a terrific storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain. Amongst the casualties, the lofty spire of All Saints Church has sustained some damage, the extent of which has not yet been ascertained. Happily no lives have been lost. CONSECRATION.—On Saturday week, St. John's Church, Hawarden, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Bangor. After the special service, the Chancellor read the service of consecration, which was signed by the bishop. The Rev. H. P. Foulkes, curate of Buckley, read prayers assisted by the clergy of Hawarden. The Rev. Dr. Hook then ascended the pulpit, arid after saving a portion of the "Bidding" prayer, preached from Roman xiv. 5, 6. REVENUES OF THE SEES OF ST. ASA PH AND BAN GOR.—According to the recent parliamentary return, we find that the Bishop of St. Asaph states the gross amount of the yearly revenues of that see as follows :—ln 1832, £7,396 19s 8d ; 1833, £6,907 13s 10d ; 1834, £6.135 8s 3d ; 1835, £7,203 lOs 10d. The gross amounts of deductions for payments and allowances in each year were :-1832, £1,383 lls 2d ; ]833, £1,047 is 7d ; 1834, £1,253 5s 5d ; and 1835, £9Bl 19s. The Bishop of Bangor makes the following return of the gross amount of the yearly revenues of that sea : 1830 .... £7,157 13 7 1 1833.... £5.473 2 1 1831.... 5,978 16 5 1834 .... 1832.... 6,431 1 9 1835.... 5,535 3 4 But the deductions for yearly payments and allowances reduce these to the following net income : 1830 .... £3,431 12 0 1 1833 £3,493 19 3 1831 .... 4,127 4 IA 1834 ... • 3,557 3 6 1832.... 4,234 11 0 1835.... 3,558 19 3 ETON COLLEGE.—There are more pupils on the esta blishment than at any former period ; a gradual increase having taken place every year since 1836, when the num ber on the books was 444. The number now is 713—viz., 661 in the upper, and 52 in the lower school. In 1745 the aggregate number in the two schools was only 248. Since the foundation, in 1441, 2,257 have succeeded to King's. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE IRISH CHURCH. —The Morning Post thus reports the speech of the noble Duke, which he made in noticing the petition of Lord Oranmore, praying that a portion of the property of the Protestant Church of Ireland should be granted to the Roman Catholic priests. " The Duke of Wellington arose, and throwing himself into an attitude of defiance, and raising his voice to a pitch that echoed through the house, thus gave expression to his feelings :—" My Lords, I shall not enter upon the question of the irregularity of presenting such a petition, nor do I intend to enter into the discussion of the important question to which it re lates. I wish only to warn your Lordships of one cir cumstance attending it. The prayer of this petition goes to nothing more nor less than this—whether your Lord ships are to repeal or to maintain the laws by which the Reformation has been established in this United Kingdom. That is the question for your Lordships' consideration in this petition from a Peer of Ireland, though not a mem ber of this house ; that is the question which I beg your Lordships to consider well, and to decide whether or not you will listen to arguments in support of such a propo sition." Mr. Makgill Crichton has published a letter, giving an account of his progress in Ireland on behalf of the funds of the Free Church. We extract the following passage : —" The subscriptions already made at Belfast, added to those obtained at Newry, Ballymena, Coleraine, Newton, Limavady, and Londonderry, and promised at Armagh and Cookstown, which we visited on the following week, amount, when joined to the Dublin subscription, to nearly £6OOO, and if the appeal be carried on with energy, the total to be transmitted from Ulster will probably not be under 49000." • ,„ \ tit IRE I_, AN D. RE PEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the above association was held on Tuesday last in the Corn Exchange, Dublin. Mr. Ray read a letter signed " Anne Kennan," of the Strawberry Beds, inclosing £1 14s. She said that as the strawberries were out of season she had preserved some political strawberries, which she presented to the associa tion to send to his Grace the Duke of Wellington to sup port his shattered constitution, and relieve him from the nervousness consequent upon having been proposed as a repeal warden by Mr. Steele. (Laughter.) Mr. O'Connell received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Tyrrell, of Carlow, denying that he had authorised any one to propose him a member of the association, or that he had written any letter to the association on the sub ject. When his (Mr. O'Connell's) son was nominated for the representation of Carlow, he refused to identify him self with the agitation for repeal, though he gave his sup port. He has lived long enough to know the horrors of a civil war ; and as he thought that repeal could be carried by a civil war only, if even by that, he would not join the association. It was his (Mr. O'Connell's) duty to move that the letter be inserted upon the minutes. The person who committed the forgery sent an excellent good pound note along with the letter, and he wished he would-conti nue to joke in that fashion. He had every respect for the rev. gentleman, but he differed with him, as he was sure they would carry repeal without a civil war, and he begged be would console himself with this certainty. Mr. O'Connell handed in £BO from Ballinrobe, and £6O from Cappoquin, including the subscription of Sir Richard Musgrave, who was proposed as a member, and admitted with acclamation. He then proposed Dr. Gray and Counsellor Davis as volunteers. (Cheers.) He next read a letter from Mr. Wellesley Ashe, late Captain of the 93d Highlanders, enclosing £5, with hearfelt wishes for the cause of right, justice, and liberty. Mr. Ray read a letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Yourell, in which she stated that she had sold her coat to be enrolled as a repealer; and she would advise her countrywomen, situated as she was at present, to sell their coats, not to buy bayonets, as Lane Fox wanted, but to be enrolled as repeaters. Mr. Davis proposed that the association earnestly re commend the people's bands to use Irish airs and no others, with the single exception of God save the Queen ! Mr. O'Connell seconded the motion, which was adopt ed, and then announced that the repeal rent for the week amounted to £2,004 10s. 81d. Mr. Mathews, the first chairman, announced that the necessary preparations had been made for the repeal meet ing on the hill of Tara, on the 15th of the present month, and that Irish harps, manufactured by Irishmen, and played on by men with Irish hearts, were prepared for the occasion. (Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell said that the harp which bad long been mute in Tara's Hall would be heard again on Tara's Hill. The meeting then adjourned. EXORBITANT TAXATION. — The county cess is so high as sixteen shillings the acre in Corkaguiney, Kerry—half the rent ! The owners of houses rented by the constabulary throughout Ireland, are recalled upon by government to secure the lower windows with strong iron bars. The statement which has gone the round of several papers of a seizure of cannon and powder destined for Caher Castle, the seat of Lord Glengall, is utterly ground less. A poor young woman in Belfast, who crawls along on crutches, is said to be between 7 and 8 feet in height. She is much debilitated from her overgrowth, and though only 17 years of age, weighs 25 stone. At two o'clock, on Sunday last, the house of William Murdock, of Ballintue, was entered by five men (two of whom were armed with pistols), who robbed it of five stand of arms and three bayonets.— Westmeath Guardian. A party of police who had gone to enforce the collection of poor rate at Kilchrist, near Loughrea. met with resist ance from the people, and were in a short time completely repulsed.—Limerick Paper. A poor woman, wife of a man named Sullivan, a sawyer, residing at St. John's square, Limerick, was on Friday safely delivered of four children—one male, and three females, who, with the mother, are all doing well. STAMP DUTY—IRISH MARRIAGES.—According to a clause in a bill now before the House of Commons, the duty on marriage certificates in Ireland is repealed ; and also the stamp duty upon leases for property of small value, under certain circumstances. " Out of forty cases which stand for trial at the present assizes," said Judge Crompton, the other day, to the jury of Kilkenny, in his charge, " no less than 21 are charged with murder, or conspiracy to murder More than one half of the entire number 1" Mr. Fayle, of Enniscorthy, is still alive, but his disso lution is momentarily expected. The perpetrators of the horrid deed have not been apprehended, and not the slightest clue has even yet been afforded which might tend to tbs apprehension of the party or parties concerned in this savage transaction.— Waterford Mail. A paragraph has been making the tour of some of the newspapers, to the effect that the army in Ireland amounts to above 34,000 men. This statement is based in error. Our force in that country, including all arms and ranks, does not at present exceed 20,000 men.—United Service Gazette. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A fishing-boat from Malin-well port, having been out at Innistrahull island on Friday night week, Was returning home on Saturday morning, and when a short distance from the island, she was struck by a sea and upset, and melancholy to relate, five of the poor men who were in her found a watery grave.—Londonderry Sentinel. DEMAND FOR. REDUCTION OF RENTS IN IRELAND.— A very numerous meeting of the landholders and occupi ers of five baronies of the King's Counts took place at Raheen, on the 24th of July. The landhOlders attended in great numbers, snd resolutions were passed demanding a large reduction of rents, proportioned to the diminished prices of agricultural produce. One of the villains concerned in the attempted assas sination of Mr. Shee has been found guilty, and the trial discloses a fearful feature in the iniquitous confederation against human life—the existence " of a Black Sheep office." " Black sheep," it will be remembered, was the term which Mr. O'Connell instructed his followers to apply to persons who voted for the Tories or in other re spects rendered themselves popularly obnoxious, and the office is a place where the aforesaid followers can be sup plied with arms and money for the work of assassination ! Such is the machinery by which the war against the land lords is carried on. MURDER.—A man of the name of Daniel Sullivan was murdered last Sunday on the high road from Fethard to Killinaul. Some time since he was in partnership with two men of the name of Hely ; but a dispute having arisen between them, Sullivan withdrew, after which the Helys, r man named Timothy Murphy, and a process-server named John Dooley, went to Sullivan's, and under the pretence of having a civil bill decree, broke into his house and carried off three cows and two heifers. Sullivan swore an information against the parties, and Murphy and Daly were arrested, who are to take their trials at the present assizes for house breaking and robbery. On Saturday last Sullivan was seen at market at Fethard, with a lot o f lambs, in company with a man named Lucy, and with whom he had latterly connected himself in the purchase of cattle, and who travelled with him into the county of Tipperary. Sullivan having sold the lambs was on his way to this city to attend the assizes, to prosecute, when he was murdered.—Cork Constitution. CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN THE YEARS 1841-2.—We take the following totals from a recent parliamentaryreturn:— _ 1841. 1842. England and Wales ...... 20,280 .... 22,733 Scotland 2,688 .... 3,176 Ireland . Total United Kingdom .. 32,254 .... 35,783 This exhibits an increase of convictions for criminal offences in the whole United Kingdom, of 3,529 in last year, as compared with 1841. But the most remarkable fact in connection with these numbers is the relative proportions they bear to the population—namely, England and Wales, 15,911,646 ; Scotland, 2,620,207 ; and Ireland, 8,175,238. It will be seen that, in Scotland, the most educated peo ple, the proportion of convicted criminals to the popula tion is considerably smaller than in the other parts of the United Kingdom. The proportion is the largest in Eng land and Wales ; but the calendars in almost every county show that a considerable number of Irish, and very few Scotch, are included in the convictions. EXPLOSION AT A POWDER MILL.—On Saturday, an explosion of Gunpowder, attended with the loss of two lives, occurred at the Ballincollig milis, worked by Sir John Tobin and Sons, of Liverpool, and so great was the concussion, that houses in the western outskirts of the city were shaken, and the noise was distinctly heard in every part of this city, although the casualty took place at six miles distance. The names of the sufferers are John Carroll and Jeremiah Long, labourers in the mills. Not the least clue, it appears, can be given as to the cause of the unfortunate catastrophe. The quantity of powder which had ignited amounted to twenty-one barrels, con taining 100 lb each. The mill technically called the gran ulating mill, has been shivered to atoms by the explosion, the fragments spreading for a considerable distance around. The bodies, too, of the unfo r t una t e su ff erers were riven asunder, their limbs scattered, and as black as coal, pre senting a fearful spectacle. When the powder ignited, masses of timber, machinery, slates, &c., were forced to an enormous height, followed by thick, dark volumes of smoke, which were seen several miles distant. Not the least blame is attributed to the proprietors or the persons in charge.—Cork Constitution. IRISH NOTION OF REPEAL.—The letter of a corre spondent of the John Bull, who writes from Mayo, in Ireland, communicates the following racy anecdotes, showing what is understood by repeal among the enlight ened followers of O'Connell :—" On my way home this day, I was overtaken by a lad with whom I entered into conversation, during which he informed me he had just paid a penny for repale.' Pray what is repale ?' asked I. Why, the priest tells us she will do us a mighty de,il of good, and will bring the union back to the county,' answered the boy. And pray what is the union ? ' Fegs 1 they say it is a power of coarse linen ! ! (N.B. ' Union' is the name given here to a species of cloth made of flax and cotton.)—An acquaintance of mine received a somewhat similar answer a few days back from one of his tenants, who had inf orme d hi m his reverence' bad told his flock at mass, that, in return for the shilling he was endeavouring to extract from each of them, they would, with other good things, get their p ar li ament b ack. Pray what is the p ar li ament ?, asked my acquaintance. Troth, they say it is a mighty big book, which the Sas senachs stole from Dublin at the Union I ' replied the man," WALES . meuced the dutie s T t we e k e r e d k a y by we ek. , „ 0 --- L . 4 10•7 Mr. Hall, the magistrate of Bow-street, seat doite,' pendiary magistrate in this town, who was sof the the government to inquire into trace s, use:oo wards burnt th and continuing outrages in South a raisin, ec great many additional outrages e grievances of which the peasantry e° d . sti no o f men ig kiln gate andthe tollhouses beeleongi oramitnte A n sv g ere,,, c s d a y is, i n At t th t e h y e orniag s ;‘, the materials.
