The Earl of ABERDEEN asked whether her Majest government had at any time expressed to that of Sardinia a similar opinion to that expressed to Austria, that any ~gression, such as had been referred to, would not viewed by Great Britain wi h indifference? The Marquis act of az be ti f LANSDOWNE replied that no doubt, in the then state of the Milanese territory, the King of Sar dinia had thought he was justified in taking the course which he had subsequently adopted ; but that course had been taken not only without the concurrence of the Bri tish government, but against their advice. Lord STANLEY complained of a bill which had been brought into the Canadian legislature, imposing a tax of 10s., without distinction of age, on all emigrants to Ca nada, and containing other vexatious clauses, and asked whether it was the intention of the government to ask her Majesty to give Earl GREY said assent iat some of the provisions of the mea sure could not be carried out, but it was a delicate thing to give any advice to her Majesty with a view to annul an commending the amendun ent of some of the most aje tionable elanßes Lord LYTrELTON asked, pursuant to notice, whether the government intended to take any steps to prevent the lotteries called " racing sweeps" being held in publk houses ? _ _ . The Earl of EGLINTON understood that these lotteries were conducted at licensed public-houses only, and on the fairest principles. He therefore thought it would be unjust to pUt doWn the practice in public-houses, when they could not interfere with the betting which took place in clubs. The Marquis of LAI, replied that the go` the matter HOUSE OF COMMONS •MONDAY The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in reply to Mr. Childers, stated as regarded the case of the Bishop of Exeter and the Rev. Mr. Gorham, whose doctrinal views are im pugned by that right rev. prelate. that the subject was under serious consideration, with the view, if possible, of giving the latter gentleman an opportunity of showing the correctness of his doctrines.

After some olvervations from Mr. Morgan, Mr. Hume, Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Wakley, and Colonel Thompson, Sir D. DUNDAS vehemently objected to the motion, re capitulating the circumstances of the trial, which ended in the conviction of Frost, Williams, and Jones, who were now only suffering the just penalty of their very grave offence. He did not wish to raise an eternal barrier be tween them and the mercy of the crown, but this was cer tainly not the time for extending the royal clemency to them. Mr. GARDNER supported the motion; and after a few words in reply from Mr. F. O'Connor, the house divided, and the numbers were—for the motion, 23 ; against it, 91; majority agai HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY Mr. F. O'CoNNott, in reply to a question from Mr. Drummond, said it was his intention on Monday next, to present to the House a petition signed by some millions of her Majesty's subjects in reference to a motion of which he had given notice for that day, as an amendment to the question of going into committee of supply. As it noN ` l ' I eppearec , there was to be no committee of supply or kionday, he hoped, therefore, the Government would allow him to bring forward his motion as the first busi- of the evening Lord J. RUSSELL said he was willing that the petition should receive every consideration at the hands of the House, but he could not postpone the Government busi ness for it on Monday. He would, however, allow him to bring on his motion as the first business for Friday. In reply to a question from Mr. BRIGHT, Sir G. GREY said the question of the illegality of the meeting on Monday next depended very much on the cir cumstances under which it was to be held. If it were to be held under such circumstances as were calculated to ex cite terror and alarm in the minds of the peaceable inhab- land. Ifit was intended to be a meeting in connexion with the procession, the question of legality or otherwise would be equally applicable to both, and must depend upon the circumstances of the case ; and he should con tend that the course pursued by the Government at the present time could not be objected to as an interference with the right of petition A singular and very exciting scene followed, in the course of which Mr. F. O'CONNOR avowed his intention of being present the meeting, and also at the procession, and was pre- it might b, He was for preserving the peace; which he believed would not be disturbed if the procssion should not be interfered with by the Government. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON was unwilling to trust the ords of the hon. gentleman, when he found that wade a most republican and exciting speech at a ) r meeting in Cripplegate, on the previous evening. The pacific wi he had tr worthyalderman - quoted some passages of the speech as an exposition of i ts violence. . Mr. F. O'CONNOR said the report was a fabrication. He was never either a Republican or Repealer in his life, After some observations from Mr. Eluisic, Sir DE LACY EVANS, conceiving the meeting to be Llarming to his constituents, would support the course )ursued by government. J. OtONNELL challenged Mr. F. O'Connor with enrolled himself, fourteen years ago, as a member )city for obtaining repeal of the union. (Loud society he had enrolled himself in was one established by the late Daniel O'Connell ; and he paid his subscription of one guinea to buy a gun and a knapsack.

Sir G.

The right hon. gentleman called attention to the articles and speeches in the United Irishman, the Nation, and other papers, clearly disclosing the treasonable intentions of the speakers and writers. The right hon. gentleman explained the nature of the law of treason, and the difference between that law in England and Ireland —the 36th of George the Third, which con siderably enlarged and extended that law, never having been extended to the latter country. It was right that the law in both countries should be the same, and with some modification he proposed to extend it to Ireland, reducing the punishment in all cases, except those of levying war against the Sovereign or imagining the Queen's death, to transportation for life, with a discretion in the judge to reduce such punishment to any shorter period, not legs than seven years. This law, .60 framed, was to be applicable to the whole of the United Kingdom, but plied to Ireland, though he would not mix them up with that which he bad then to submit to the consideration of the house. The right hon. baronet concluded by moving for leave to bring in a bill for the better security of the Crown and Government of the United Kingdom. The motion for leave to bring in the bill was carried by a majority of 283 to 24. Sir G. GREY then intimated that he would move the second reading of the bill on Monday, and he would then also move the suspension of the standing orders in order i that it might go through committee the same night. Sir W. - SoiicuviLLi moved the second reading of the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill, with a view to refer it to a select committee, at the request of several Irish members.

Cochrane brought under the notice of Sir W.

An air of ridicule was attempted to be cast upon the whole matter by Mr. F. O'Connor, who, in his utter ignorance of the difference between the defence and the disturbance of public order, asked the Attorney-General whether he in tended to prosecute The Times newspaper for the inser tion of a letter in Monday's paper, showing how barri cades might be rendered of little avail by flinging Con greve rockets and howitzer shells over them into the midst of the ruffians sheltered behind them. Sir - G. GREY stated, in reply to Mr. Stafford,„that it was the intention of the government to bring in a bill to prevent ejectments without giving mtice to the tenants, and also without giving notice to the board of guardians, that the ejectments would be likely to lead to their ex treme destitution. The bill would also provide against the destruction or pulling down of tenements by night, whatev is of the Mr. I-lons/JAN, in an explanatory speech, moved a re solution with reference to the ecclesiastical commission, for the purpose of doing away with the distinction which at present existed between the episcopal and common fund.

Sir R. Peel, Mr. Gladstone, and Lord J. Russell ex pressed similar views, and, with Sir R. Inglis, Lord H. Vane, and Sir J. Johnstone, opposed the motion, which was supported by Mr. Plumptrs Smith, Mr. Bright, Mr. W.

The Paris papers of Saturday state that the republican party were satisfied with the result of the election of offi cers of the National Guard. The utmost tranquillity prevailed, but the approaching general election continued to be looked to with some anxiety.

Oa the 30th, Marshal Radetzky was still at Brescia. but the accounts state that he has not more than 15,000 men under his command, and that their position is very critical. The Austrian army is stunned by the rapidity of their defeat, and are in several places in a state of com plete disorganisation. Padua has protested against the establishment of Venice as a separate Republic under the name of the Republic of St. Mark. A great Italian union is the wish of all the Revolution party throughout the north of Italy. The Provisional Government at Venice has intimated that it is willing to join a general Italian Government, and that it is desirous, above all things, to avoid division. The Patria of Florence announces that a political alliance, offensive and defensive,against Austria. has been concluded by the King of ardinia with the Pope, the King of Naples, and the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Letters from Palermo of the 28th ult. announce that the Sicilian parliament was constituted ; that Admiral Ruggiero, chief of the insurrection, had been appointed Regent, and that the political separation of Naples and Sicily was an accomplished fact.

The news from Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Galicia, Bohemia—in short, from all parts of the empire —make -the Austrian statesmen almost frantic. The movements among the labouring-classes acquire daily a more threatening character. A repetition of the bloody drama of 1846 is preparing in Galicia. A deputation has been sent to the Emperor from that province, to inquire whether he should like to Qine nll the noblemen's thrnata ig the smouldering flames in Cracow According to the last advices from Vienna it appears that the proclamation of Sardinia had at that time been made known.

PRUSSIA AND TETE GERMAN MOVEMENT We have received papers from Berlin of the sth, Ham_ burgh the 4th, Cologne the 6th, from Heidelberg of the sth, and from Vienna of the Ist of this month : A letter from Schildberg, in Posen, in the Breslauer Zeitung, gives evidence of the progress of anarchy in the dated the 30th ult. On that Grand Duchy night nnd nrp The letter i i;,,„.....;r.h..., 1 3ky was reddened by the ry seats and castles were burned down by the rioters who pretend to regenerate Poland. The town itself is filled with fugitive gentry, many of whom had saved nothing beyond their lives. Couriers had been sent to Breslau, Mielitsch, and War tenberg to call for military assistance, for an attack on the town of Schildberg was daily expected. The bands of sitbemen are still increasing. Recruiting parties are everywhere busy enlisting peasants, to whom they offer a small bounty, and, probably, a brilliant prospect of plunder. - Leiters from Stralsund of the Ist, in the Cologne Ga zelle, state that the port of that town is being put in a state of defence, to prevent a coup de main of the Danes. Danhol m, too, a small island near the entrance of the har bour, has, on the express order of the minister at war, been provided with artillery. The shipowners of Stral sund are fast discharging their sailors, and corn has fallen 30 to 40 per cent. in price. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN The Cologne Gazette copies a statement of the .Bremer Zeitung to the effect that a Prussian vessel which passed through the Sound on the 28th ultimo was tired upon by the batteries on shore, and that some damage was done to her rigging. The Cologne Gazette adds that the veracity of this statement is very doubtful. A letter from Rendsburgh, in the Cologne Gazette, states that the provisional government have despatched a letter, containing a summary of their grievances, to the King of Denmark. They add that they have taken the direction of affairs upon themselves in order to prevent t - • to impending dangers of anarchy, and to open the way ble understanding. to an amica A letter from the Eider, of the 31st ultimo, in the Bre meir Zeitung, reports that a strong firing of artillery and musketry was that day heard in the direction of Schleswig or Eckernforde. Information was received at Kiel on the 30th (though it can hardly be relied on) that the Danish war-steamer Hecla had been boarded and taken by the students of Kiel and a battalion of riflemen. The Rob Roy. Captain Knocker, from Hamburgh, ar rived at Hull, on Sunday, with papers and correspondence of considerable interest. She left Hamburgh on Friday morning The Danish Minister at Hamburgh has been dismissed, in consequence, as is alleged, of having refused his pro tection and assistance to the many Danish officers and subjects who had taken refuge in that city when driven by recent events from the Duchy of Holstein. It appears that the King of Denmark left Copenhagen on the sth of April to put himself at the head of his army, which already amounts to 18,000 men. His majesty is expected to have landed this day at Fredericia, the most southern port in Jutland, and the nearest to Colding, where the Danish army is concentrated, which town; being on the very border of Schleswig, is forty-five miles rinn nm•t}i There appears to be the greatest enthusiasm on both sides. The volunteers for the Danish army are said to arrive in shoals ; they seem determined to make a vigorous struggle. The Danish fleet is being prepared with all possible despatch, and the government has announced its inten tion of making reprisals upon German and Prussian vessels, and to blockade Stettin, Dantsic, Memel, and other ports. They have seven ships already equipped. The Prussian division of 5000 men has passed through Hamburgh into Holstein. The Ilanoverians are at Stade, on the southern bank of the Elbe, and will immediately cross that river to Gluck stadt, marching thence upon Itzchoe, en route to Rends- Adiscount bank has been commenced at Hamburgh The island of Alsen continues in possession of about 800 Danes.

MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR The following manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas has been published at St. Petersburg and received with the greatest enthusiasm : "After the benefits of a long pence the West of Europe finds itself at this moment suddenly given over to perturbations which threaten with ruin and overthrow all legal powers and the whole social system. " Insurrection and anarchy, the offspring of France, soon crossed the German frontier; and have spread themselves in every direction with an audacity which has gained new force in proportion to the concessions of the governments, This de vastating plague has at last attacked our allies, the Empire of Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia, and to-day in its blind fury menaces even our Russia, that Russia which God has con fided to our care. _ _ -- ;;iiuftheaven forbid that this should be Faithful to the example handed down from our ancestors, having first invoked the aid of the Omnipotent, we are ready to encounter our ene mies from whatever side they may present themselves, and without sparing -our own person we will know how, indissolubly united to our holy country, to defend the honour of the Russian name, and the inviolability of our territory.

A Paris letter in the Allgenseine Zeitung states that the foreign diplomatists there do not think that Russia will engage in a war with Germany in order to keep possession of Poland.

The Caledonia reached Halifax on the 26th ult. The news of the French Revolution had created a great sensa tion, and meetings were held, at which the Irish were the most prominent. A change of ministry had taken place in Canada, and it was expected that parliament would be prorogued shortly. The discovery of a gold mine near Quebec had occasioned much excitement. The territory which the United States demand from Mexico amounts to 751,000 square miles, raising, if re quired, the territory of the United States to 2,751,144 square miles, and reducing that of Mexico to 933,160 miles. COOLNESS IN DANGER.—The papers recount a comic incident of the Prussian revolution. In one of the barri cades carried and cleared away by the troops, the kernel of the mass of beams, casks, furniture, and paling, flung hastily together, was found to be a cab, with the unfor tunate " fare" still in it. It had been stopped and covered up before he could get out. As soon as it was dragged forth, he put his head to the window, and politely begged the door might be opened, as calmly as if he had just driven up in the ordinary course of things. He will, doubtless, figure in Berlin history as an Englishman—for we have•an universal reputation for taking things coolly. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—Advices to the 29th of Janu ary, which give most satisfactory accounts of the state of the colony. Sir Harry Smith was proceeding rapidly on his tour of inspection beyond the limits of the colony. He has made the port at the mouth of the Buffalo, in Caffreland. a British port, called East London ; Waterloo Bay, in the district of Victoria, formerly the neutral ter ritory, is also provided for, custom-house officers are ap pointed for each, with a board for the improvement of the " port of East London ;" and Mr. Charles Wolfe and Mr. Thomas Nightingale are to proceed forthwith as sub-collectors to open the new ports of Waterloo Bay and East London, and to receive customs' duties thereat. SHIPWRECK-150 LIVES LOST.—Letters have been received from Penang, dated February sth, relative to the British ship General Wood, which, we regret to say, there is too much reason to believe has foundered in the Chinese seas, and every soul belonging to her, amounting to 150, is supposed to have met with a watery grave. The ill fated vessel, it is reported, was chartered by the Indian government for the transport service. She was an old ship 800 tons burden, and left Singapore on the 2nd of January for Penang, having on board 91 convicts, a de tachment of soldiers, several passengere, and a crew of between 30 and 40 persons. Since that period nothing whatever has been heard of her, THE POPE DIVIDED.—TweIve thousand men (says the D6bats) have marched from Rome to succour Lombardy against the Austrians. The Pope, on their departure, gave them his benediction in the following terms :—" As Head of the Church, I am at peace with all the universe. As an Italian Prince, I have a right to 'defend Italy, my country. I bless you. The cause you go to defend is a holy cause; God will make it triumph. I bless you once more. Fight and conquer in the name of the Lord." Here is some confusion, surely. Which of the two per sonages between whom Pius IX. divides his identity draws the sword, and which of them blesses it ? But it is the fault of the Pope's position, and not his own, that he sees his own image at once on both sides of the thaumatrope. WEST INDIES.—The Medway Royal mail steam-ship, Captain Mav, arrived on Tuesday morning at Southamp ton, at six o'clock, with the usual fortnightly mail, which brings us the important intelligence of the capture of the Unner and Lower Forts on the Oregon River by the boats of H.M. ship Alarm, Captain LoA, the steamer Vixen, and brig Daring, and a detachment of the 38th Regiment, the whole in command of Capt. Loch, with Commanders Rider and Peel in command of their own boats. The Lower Forts showed much resistance, but the loss in the boats was trifling—one man killed and a midshipman wounded. The loss on shore was considerable. The news by this arrival from the West India Islands is unim portant. They are all reported as being in a healthy state, but the merchants complaining. Col. Henry Capadoce, the acting commander-in-chief of the army at Jamaica, died very suddenly on the Ist March, at Up Park Camp, in the 70th year of his age. Madrid letters of the Ist instant state that the utmost alarm continued to prevail in that' capital. Additional troops had been sent for. The garrison was to be in creased to 13,000 men. The post-office had been con verted into a fortress. Arrests continued to be made. General Chacon was taken into custody, and sent a pri soner to the citadel of Pampeluna, for having, in conjunc tion with other senators, demanded an audience of the Queen to present a petition in favour of the prisoners condemned to death. Fourteen persons were sent from Madrid on the 31st ult. The Siglo and the Clamor Publico were seized on the same day. The university, having been the theatre of some rioting on the Ist, was closed by order of the government, as also the medical school of San Carlos. It was rumoured that another in surrection would take place on the 2nd, but up to post hour nothing had occurred to disturb the tranquillity of the capital. The intelligence from the provinces was satisfactory. The Enancipation of Brussels has accounts of fresh disturbances on the Belgian frontiers. It appears that on Monday last a band of about 50 individuals, almost all drunk, proceeded to the factory of M. Defontaine, at Halluin, a village contiguous to the gates of Menin, threatening to pull it down if he did not instantly dismiss all the Flemish workmen in his employ. M. Defontaine was obliged to submit, and the workmen left the factory amidst the frantic yells of the malefactors. The Mayor, however, eventually expelled them from the village, and the poor Belgian operatives have since resumed their situ ations in the factory of M. Defontaine. The Gazette de Mons, of Thursday evening, says that the " strike" of the minor operatives is complete ; the conflict of the 3d has exasperated them, and they are now overrunning the vil lages in large bands. The students in the Universities of Louvain, Brussels, and Tourpai have resolutely raised the standard of revolt against their rectors. Those of Louvain have drawn up a protest against the Roman Catholic Uni versity, denouncing it as a retrograde institution, farbehind the ideas of the present age of enlightenment, and demand ing the adoption of a broader and more liberal policy. IRELAND. The doubt thrown on the loyalty of Professor Butt has been completely dispelled. A man named Coogan, in the county of Meath, has made a tender for a contract to - supply ash saplings, each eleven feet long, for 100,000 men. A HINT TO GOVERNMENT.—On 'Saturday, the unprece dented sum of £6OOO was withdrawn from the Savings' Bank of this town. The lower and middle orders must be aware of some threatened danger, else they would not thus run on an institution which they considered heretofore so secure.—Dropheda Conservative. The repealers of Deny held a meeting on Sunday week in the Chapel-yard, in lieu of the demonstration which they were prevented from making on St. Patrick's Day. The Sabbath is the great day of business with the Roman Catholic politicians. They seem to expunge the 4th as well as the 2d commandment from their decalogue. FIRE ARMS. --All the gunmakers of Cork are actively engaged making "rifles to order." In several directions, within the suberbs of Limerick, Confederate groups were engaged on Sunday, on the Canal, at Newcastle race course, at Mount-kennet, and the King's Island at ball practice to a late hour. As an illustration of the avidity to possess arms which now prevails among the rabble, we may mention the fact that an ironmonger in the neighbourhood of Chancery lane, Dublin, sold, in a few hours, no less than sixty dozen of old bayonets which had remained for years upon his hands. The Repeal Association met as usual on Monday, nothing occurred worth reporting, except, perhaps, the farce of producing a boy five years old, who made a " pa triotic" speech, and was admitted a member of the asso ciation upon paying a subscription of £l. The rent was announced to be £B7 18s. NAVAL FORCES ON THE COAST OF IRELAND.—At the present moment our naval forces at Cork and the coast of Ireland amounts to 18 ships, of all classes—viz., 3 line- . . of-battle ships, a corvette, 3 store-ships, and 2 tenders ; 2 steam-frigates, 1 steam-sloop, and 6 steam-vessels, mount ing 378 guns, and abo operation with the army. HORRIBLE CASE.—At the recent Galway assizes a man named John Conolly pleaded guilty to a charge of sheep stealing. The judge said an end should be put to such Is' imprisonment As cm it bound to e"iplain He had been ;entenced the prisoner to three niontl addressing the court, said - that to the court what he knew of this case told that the priscner and his family wee had died, and he had been credibly informed that the mother eat part of its legs and feet after its death. He had the body exhumed, and found that nothing but the instantly discharged.—Galway Vindicator. IS THE PURCHASE OF PIKES LEGAL ?—A man named Thomas Kirwan was brought up at the Dublin Police Court, on Saturday, charged by Thomas Arkins, a special constable, with having bought six pike heads of David Hyland, blacksmith. The prisoner had ordered six pikes to be made, and when he came for three of them, Hyland )prebencled b He was accordingly a suspecting that.. go to the Castle. _ Mr. Arkins (apparently one of the young Irelan who appeared against him The case was adjour party), ned till . Monday, when Col. Brown, (commissioner of police) stated that the prisoner had been employed by him to get and unconstitutional concessions to popery, and of discourag ing the loyal, peaceable, and industnous portion of our com munity." - _ _ Moved by the Rev. H. Hodson, district chaplain ; se conded by James Reilly, de puty master of 536 : Resolved—" That, considering the present distracted, demo ralised, and unhappy state of other parts of Ireland, we feel deeply grateful to Almighty God for the pe ce, safety, and comfort by which we are surrounded in Ulster, and ascribe all our blessings, under Him, to the unrestricted use of His HOLY WORD, and the unshackled liberty of conscience secured to us by our PROTESTANT FAITH." _ (Signed) JAMES WATSON, Chairman. T. F. CALDWELL, Vice-Chairman Other meetings of Orangemen, with similar objects, have taken place in various parts of Ireland. The follow ing was one of the resolutions passed at a meeting at Newry :—" That although we consider that loyalists have been heretofore very badly treated when it was considered their services would no longer be required, yet as our loyalty is not based on unworthy motives, but arises solely from a conviction of the soundness of the principles we have espoused, we declare readiness, if reauired, to turn out and assist his Excellency and the constituted authori ties in the maintenance of good order and good govern ment." What does the Popish press, and what do the public generally think of the Orangemen now ?—Will their loyal ty be doubled after this ? CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER CATHEDRAL. — An elegant stone screen, of beautiful design, is now erected behind the handsome pul pit, which has lately been presented to the Cathedral by Sir E. S. Walker. DEATH OF BISHOP. RUSSELL.—This prelate of the Scottish Church was, as in the case of the late Dr. Chal mers, found dead in his bed early on Monday morning. The previous day he conducted the services in the chapel at Leith, and thereafter the devotional exercises in his own family. MUNIFICENT GIFT IN AID OF THE ERECTION AND ENDOWMENT OF CHURCHES.—John Hardy, Esq., late M.P. for Bradford, has presented to the Rev. J. Burnet, LL.D., the respected vicar of that parish, the munificent sum of £6OOO for the purposes of church building and endowment ; £2500 for the endowment of a church to be built at Wibsey Bank Foot, in the township of North Bierley ; £2500 for the endowment of a church to be erected at Shelf; and the remaining £lOOO as a subscrip tion towards the building of the two churches. The churches are to contain 500 sittings each, 350 of which are to be free, and the population of the district to be assigned to each church is not to exceed 2000 persons. Messrs. Mellinson and Healy are appointed architects ; and Geo. Ilarron, Esq., of Druton, near Hull, has very liberally given the site for the church intended to be erected at Wibsey Bank Foot, the works of which it is expected will commence before the end of the present month. POPERY IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.—That there are still many clergymen of the Church of England, who, in secret, work for the propagation of Popery, though they deem it prudent to preach publicly within bounds, there cannot be a doubt. The exposures of the Puseyite party have silenced their open perversion of Scriptural truths, but still they go from house to house, and recom mend the perusal of certain works calculated to lead their flocks astray. Only four days since we entered a friend's house, and found on the table a volume entitled, " The remains of George Herbert," it was left there by the in cumbent of the parish, several passages were underlined in black lead pencil, and at page 52, under the head of " Advice to Parsons on Sacraments," we found the fol lowing passage, "he is in great confusion, as being not only to receive God, but to break and administer him." The clergyman we allude to had underlined the word " break." If this is not going the whole hog with Popery we know not what is. The most bigoted Papist would not go further than " breaking God!"—Shropshire Con servative. THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER.—This case came on at Warwick last week. After the examination of the Bishop and his lady totally denying the imputations alleged against them, the defendant called several witnesses, most of whom deposed to " peculiarities" in the Bishop's manner on the occasions alluded to ; but the only witness who spoke with any distinctness was Mr. W. J. Foster, the master of the Blue Coat School at Birmingham, who swore that, in his opinion, Mr. Lee was intoxicated when he visited the school on the occasion referred to ; and that he had at the time mentioned his suspicions to members of the com mittee. He admitted that Mr. Lee had put up an extem pore prayer and delivered a beautiful address to the chil dren—Mrs. Lee being present ; and that from the first Mr. Lee had complained of the management of the school. Mrs. Foster gave similar evidence. The sister of the de fendant—a lady of very amiable and most intelligent rp pearance—sat by his side, and acted as a j un i or counsel, p a tiently assisting him throughout the whole of his very long trial. The lady seemed perfectly conversant with all the features of, and documents connected with, the case. The jury found the defendant guilty, and he will be brought up for judgment next term, which commences next week. The defendant gave notice of applying for a new trial, on the ground that the judge would not consent to postpone the case to another day, to receive the evidence of one of his witnesses, who was absent. EPISCOPAL INCOMES.—The debate which took place on Tuesday, in the House of Commons, upon Mr. Hors man's motion to diFeinti. ue the distinction between i! episcopal and common funds, restricting the application of the surplus revenues of the archbishops and bishops to episcopal purposes, and permitting no part of it to be ap plied to the relief of parochial destitution—the debate on this motion, although it resulted in the withdrawal of the abstract resolution proposed to the house, will not remain entirely fruitless. The working clergy will, we will not say in due time—for the time has long been over due when some arrangement should have been effected for extend ing their efficiency, and acknowledging it with adequate remuneration—they will, we repeat, sooner or later, de rive benefit from Mr. Horsman's motion. Parochial des titution and inadequate clerical pay were confessed as large and existing evils, by speakers on all sides of the house, and of every shade of opinion. The speech of Sir Robert Peel pointed to the magnitude of the evil, and that of Lord John Russell left hope that it would not be per mitted to remain long unredressed. We think that the rights of the working clergy may be established, and the wrongs of the over-populous laity redressed, without the privileges or the official property of the episcopacy suffer ing diminution, and we shall hail the day when this great consummation shall be successfully arrived at. Lord John Russell acts wisely in taking counsel of the lord primate. The result of his grace's advice, if speedily acted on, will be a day of renewed hope, the opening of a season of realization for the Church of England generally. —Church and State Gazette. and sale of pikes. lie thought duty if he did not put the golfer that was passing in Dublin. was n0ti,;,... - As the law 1( D and therefore he had not interfered with tL them.
