MR. O'CONNELL AND THE COLLISION. When a man claims public homage to his acts of pro fessedly disinterested patriotism, one test at least appli cable to his pretensions, is his regard for truth. Mr. O'Connell's second letter to the people of England, will enable us to apply this test to himself individually. He has therein preferred certain charges against the Rev. Mr. Longfield, which have received from that gentleman a most emphatic denial. Mr. O'Connell never spoke a plainer truth than when lie told us that his greatness had been thrust upon him. He by no means wished, indeed, to convey the idea that he was literally a worthless piece of lumber in the midst of a creation teeming with worth and intelligence.— Doubtless he thought it more politic to concentrate po pular odium on his adversaries, than to invite for himself public a_pplauses ; and thus the seeming modesty of the declaration was well calculated to promote the purposes of his ambition. That he owes his ephemeral greatness to circumstances was always self-evident, and to nothing perhaps more than the over-acting of their part by his opponents of the press, and a slavish acquiescence in his policy by a pusillanimous administration. He was in too great haste, however, when he ascribed his political im portance to the unyieldiness of the peers. The last act of the drama had still to be performed when he made the declaration; and the dignified assertion of their inde pendence, on a late memorable occasion, so far from thrusting greatness upon the assailants of their heredi tary privileges, has done much to annihilate his political importance. That consummation, indeed, he himself is acclerating by such manifest disregard to truth as occurs in his letter to the people of England. The whole of Mr. O'Connell's career, if successful in its revolinionary objects, would have been a standing li bel on the reform bill ; which essays to work out by a constitutional machinery, and independently of agitation, every needful improvement in our internal condition. — That this plain truth is beginning to be felt by English men is evident from the result of the late elections. It is not, less remarkable than true, that on the second day of iolling the reformers of South Warwickshire were made acquainted with the honest decision of the House of Peers on the subject of the Irish municipal corpora tions bill. " Had there been," as was well observed by the Lion. C..p. Percy, "that unanimous feeling against the fords, which was so generally represented, would there not have been such a rush to the poll as would have res cued the victory from those who are friendly to the inde pendence of that body ?" The collision has passed away with less violence on the part of the leaders of the House of Commons than was anticipated. We suspect that Lord John Russell. will learn wisdom from this defeat, and not soon again thrust himself into a position, from which he had neither the courage to advance, nor the courage to extricate himself, without sustaining political loss and humiliation. The value of the' constitution, meanwhile—that which, as a system of checks and balances, has been the boast of many a sage politician as well as "the spouter of froth by the hour"—has been proclaimed, not by empty speeches, but by facts of the gravest import.—Watch man. THE MINISTERIAL PRESS. A more complete exhibition of hollow braggadocia, gibbetted to ridicule, than that which has attended " the puff out" of the late "collision," never, we apprehend, yielded its joint instruction and amusement to the Bri tish public. How the readers of the ministerial journals may he able to relish this sudden change from roaring madness to a shivering ague-fit, is nothing to. us, but to a looker-on the contrast of the leading articles of one week with those of the next would have the most amus ing effect conceivable, were it not for the disgust which cannot but attend the perusal of such impudent charla- tanerie. Turn back, for instance, to the Morning Chronicle of the day following the vote of the Commons on the Lords' amendments (June 13). We have there such bursts of violence as these:— " The collision is at an end ! Grasp but the giant and he dies! The Lords must yield ! The Lords have no alternative but to strike their flag ! If we suppose them mad enough to bold out, ministers have a plain course to pursue. The Commons will not recede from their determination, and therefore the Lords must receive that infusion of new blood which the constitution allows in such cases." On another occasion the same journal observes— "We are quite at ease with respect to this collision. The Lords are in what, in famftiar language, is called a cleft stick." The Globe (June 17) is equally comfortable : " The matter is settled as far as the majority of the nation [query, Mr. Roebuck's opinion rj is concerned; and the only questions now to be decided in reference to it are, What will the Lords do ? and, What will be done with the Lards?" The Courier of the 22d of June declares— " If the Lords refuse to avail themselves of the locus peni tentecc afforded them by the concessions of the Commons, no one can foresee what the result may fie." Well, a few days have passed, the lords have braved all this, have dared to do what, to the Chronicle and Courier, it was inconceivable they should ever have courage to do. Now, then, for the fulfilment of all these ,awful predic tions. The only question is, said the Globe, " What will be done with the lords ?" Now, what has been " done with the lords ?"—what is going to be done•with the lords? Hear the Courier of last evening : " The question of peerage reform is not yet ripe for discus sion in the legislature. It is a new one to the country. The public must be enlightened before the ministers can act. The real reformer of the peerage must be—(what?)—Tax PUBLIC PRESS (I) Their lordships are, for the present, consigned to the newspapers (! ) and it must be their business to prepare the nation fur that change, which is demonstrated to be necessary. "Their lordships are consigned" not to Newgate, as all the radicals of St. Giles's and Tothill-fields imagined they would have been by this time—but " to the news papers." Whether bathos ever went lower than this is more than we can at present recollect. That mastermind—the true conservative—William Shakspeare, has pre-imagined every absurdity that hu man beings can commit. In his Measure for Measure be had sketched, three centuries ago, the leading article of the Courier of last night. " Elbow.—What is your worship's pleasure I shall do with this wicked catiff? " Escal.—Truly, officer, because he bath some offences in him that thou wouldst discover if thou couldst, let him continue in his courses till thou knowest what they are. " Elbow.—Marry, thank your worship for it. Thou seest, thou wicked varlet, now, what is come upon thee; thou are to con tinue, now, thou varlet, thou art to continue!" In like manner, as the lords, doubtless, have " some offences," the Courier is to discover them, if it can, and meanwhile their lordships, wicked varlets as they are, "are to continue."—Standard. THE THREE DIVISIONS. Three times has the church - robbery clause come before the House of Commons—three times has a division taken place upon it—and in each division is there matter for -much reflection. Lord John Russell's original motion for it, which cause d th e res i gna ti o n o f Si r R. Peel, was carried by 322 to 289; i. e., by a majority of 33. Sub se.q.nently his lordship introduced his bill, and the first affectingthe unprincipled "principle" in ques tion was upon Sir Robert Peel's proposition to divide the measure into tw o . Si r R o b ert was d e f eate d b y 319 to 282; i. e., by a majority of 37. The second great division was upon the motion of Lord Stanley, on the second readi n g o f th e I r i s h c h urc h bill this present session. On this occasion the spoliation cause triumphed by 300 ... t0 261 ; e., by a majority of 39. The third great division was last Monday, when the third reading of this robbery . , bill was carried by 290 to 24; by a majority of 20.. Upon scrutinizing these divisions, we find that mini - . sters have anything rather than cause f or re j o i c i ng. In the first division the English members voted—for the bill, 224; against it, 232; i. e., a majority of 8 English mem bers voted against ministers. In the second divi s i on , i t is sufficient to remark that the majorityis precisely the number of the tail,—which at once shows how completely on this occasion the voices of the English members were overpowered ! In the recent division the English members voted as follows:—For the bill, 209; against it, 222; . e.,a ma jority of 13 English members voted against ministers! What then becomes of the impudent brag of the Globe and Chronicle, that this robbery measure is supported by the constituencies and representatives of England ? No answer is required, save to point to the divisions, and call attention to them,—which we do most emphatically. —Age. POSTOFFICE ARRANGEMENTS. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has brought in a bill for the alteration of the postoffice department, in pursuance of the re commendation of the commissioners of Inquiry. The City of Dublin Company, we perceive, by the tender made through the commissioners, suggest a reduction in the fare of passengers. They also contemplate, in the event of a change, extending the system of free passages, by means of transferable tickets. They propose, ,e that ten thousand tickets be annually issued through Lee r ds and other proprietors in Liverpool, Dublin, Manchester, other commercial towns, giving them the option of taking enns as such (in lieu of a portion of their dividends) on such would ensure an almost unrestricted intercourse of commercial men from those places. ' We mu s t, however, say, we are by no means favourable to any change taking packets is carried place. The intercourse by the present mail ne a satisfactory manner; and we know a strong feeling exists Liver pool against ani"g the mercantile people of to those of private transferring the system from government vessels the managers of the contr actors,Dublin Steam we know•the feeling of against the change.

The following correspondence has recently taken place with reference to the intended meeting of the Protestant Association, to be held in London, on 'Thursday next;— TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. Protestant Association, 2, Exeter Hall, June 25, 1836. SlR,—The committee of the protestant association have re ceived from the Rev. Robert M•Ghee a letter of which a copy is enclosed, which they . are requested by Mr. M‘Ghee to for ward to you. In so doing the committee desire to add, that they join with Mr. M‘Ghee in the invitation therein contained, and will wait till Thursday, the 30th instant, for any reply which you may be pleased to send, uefore they proceed to make ar rangements for .the intended meeting.—We remain, &c. &c., (Signed by the Secretary.) THE REV. ROBERT M'GHEE TO 0. O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. Enniskerry, Monday, June 20, 1836 " Justice for Ireland, and truth for England." SIR, —Having been requested by the protestant association in London to attend a meeting to be held in Exeter Hall, on. Thursday, July 14, it is my intention, if it pleases Divine Pro vidonce to allow ine, to submit to the meeting resolutions con taining some additional facts as to " Den's Theology," which have not yet been laid before the public, and which prove the unanimous and continued adoption of that standard of theo logy by your bishops; and also establishing the fact that your bishops have patronised and propagated among the people the intolerant and persecuting notes of the Rhemish Testament. The abjuration of these notes by Dr. Troy, in 1817—your own professed rejection of them, and your proceedings at the catholic board—your appointment of a committee to disclaim these notes—your subsequent conduct as to that committee, and the result of the case are all so well known to you that I shall not anticipate the statements of the platform by entering upon them now—but I shall call on you, please Divine Providence, to explain the facts to the English nation, and for this purpose I invite you thus publicly to come and apply all your legal ta lents to invalidate the documents and facts on which I shall found the resolutions I shall propose to the meeting. To preclude all possible charge of slander, misrepresentation, or any other of the imputations which have been cast upon me, I propose that the arrangements for the meeting be made by a committee of members of the House of Commons, whereof half should be chosen by yourself and half by the protestant asso ciation; that the tickets for the meeting be equally divided, and that it be clearly understood that the statements on both • sides shall be heard in perfect silence.—l have the honour to be, &e. &c. MR. O'CONNELL TO ONE OF THE SECRETARIES OF THE PROTEST- ANT ASSOCIATION. 10, Langham-place, June 29, 1836, Ray. SIR—I have reason to complain—l really think I hdie —that you should transmit tome any document emanating from the.person who styles himself the Rev. Robert M`Ghee. After that unhappy person's exhibitions in public, and especially af ter his indescribable conduct to that meek and venerable pre late, Dr. Murray, I do submit to your own good sense and good feeling that you ought not to inflict any letter of his upon any fellow-christian. I therefore return you his letter without intending any disre spect. Upon reflection you will, I should hope, agree with ins, that this is the only course which a rational man could take with such a letter, particularly as the writer is so careless of all the observances of life as to omit the ordinary courtesies be tween man and man ; but let me add that I freely forgive the went of civility, or even decency, on your part in sending me such an epistle. With respect to Dens and the Rhemish Notes, I confess to you that I feel the utmost indifference as to the resolutions your meeting of the 12th of July may adopt. Resolve away as fast and as long as you please, I care not; gratify yourselves as to your mode of resolving; your resolutions can only harm your selves ; and that I admit you have a plain and obvious right to do. Nobody ought to interfere in any way to prevent you. I am quite sure I will not. Your resolutions therefore, for ought I care, may be reproba-torv, lauda-tory, or explana-tory, or any other tory you please. It is a species, allow me to say, of tom-foolery, or rather of Tory foolery, with which I would not upon any consideration interfere. Accept, I beg of you, my full consent to your drawing up and passing any resolutions you please. As to naming members of parliament and sharing tickets, and all that fantastic mummery, it really surprises me that a gentleman of your good sense could think that such an absurd farce could be entertained for one moment. I should be laughed at if I were to propose it to any members of parliament gifted with common sense, and if I refrain from laughing at it in your case it is only because I do not choose to treat you with want of courtesy. The whole affair is, in plain truth, one of those miserable managements which cannot be described by any English word with accuracy. It is only in French that you can find their right name. They are called " niaiseries," and as such I treat them. I cannot conclude without, in sober sadness, expressing my most unfeigned regret that the very name of religion should be tarnished by these theatrical buffooneries. I cannot possi bly lend them any countenance, either directly or indirectly. Religion is indeed too awful a thing to be made the subject of mountebank exhibitions. It is by far of too tremendous an im portance to be approached in any other spirit than that of hu mility surrounded by the purest charity. The spirit of charita ble humility is that in which religious controversy should be proposed and carried on. It is so conducted in many protest ant countries, and the consequence is—l say it in no vain boast —the wise and the good are daily forsaking the variegated errors of anti-catholic belief, and crowding into the ranks of those who endeavour—" to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace," for " there is oNE body and ONE spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your callirg ; ONE LORD , ONE F AI TH, ONE BAPTISM; ONE on and Father of all." That that gracious and good God may, in the plentitude of his mercies, recal your fellow-labourers from their errors, and guide to that ONE FAITH which your fathers and ours fathers held to God, is I hope, the humble and fervent prayer of your obedient servant, Rev. J. R. Page. DANIEL O'CONNELL THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION TO D. O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. No. 2, Exeter Hall, July 8, 1836. SIR--The Rev. Mr. Page, to whom your letter of the 20th was addressed, having laid it before the committee of the Pro testant Association, we are instructed to acknowledge its re ceipt, and to make one or two brief remarks as to its con tents. The object of the meeting which is proposed to be held at Exeter Hall, on Thursday next, is chiefly to pursue that very inquiry which you yourself opened at the catholic board in Dub lin, in the year 1817. At that board, in December of that year, you moved and obtained a committee "to prepare a disavowal of the Rhemish Notes." Subsequently, on three different oc casions. you obtained for that committee "further time" to agree upon its disavowal. At last the board itself was broken up without agreeing on any such disavowal; and although you, Sir, had declared that " not amoment should be lost" in condemn ing "these scandalous notes," never, either through the me dium of the catholic board or of the catholic association, has this promised disavowal appeared. Now the Protestants, as you, Sir, are well aware, have quite as much concern in this ques tion as the. Rotnanists ; and it is a perfectly legitimate object for their investigation. That inquiry, therefore, which you yourself commenced, but which for some reason or other you ;Afterwards allowed to drop, we now propose to resume, and as you were so intimately concerned in the agitation of the ques tion we thought it but fair to invite your attendance. Whether it may suit your views to he present or not is quite a matter for your own consideration. Under any circumstances the commit tee will persevere in their original i n t en ti on . Th e arr angements proposed to you.for the meeting were merely those which have usually been adopted in such cases, and on which your friends have usually agreed. They were acted upon in the public dis cussion at the Roman C atholic c olle g e at Dow aside, in January, 1831. with which circumstances you , can hardly be entirely un acquainted. In neither the subject for discussion, therefore, nor the arrangements proposed, do the committee feel that they are at all open to the remarks which you have chosen to make. Of the character of the gentleman who proposes to introduce the question, and towards whom you express yourself in such opprobrious terms, the committee fell it quite unnecessary to say anything except to express th eir unanimous feeling that the invitation conveyed in our former letter conferred au honour rather than an insult. In conclusion. allow us to call your attention to a degree of inconsistency or obscurity which appears in y our remarks on the religious part of the ,question. A t the commencement of your letter you address us as " fellow -Christians," while at its close you designate us as " anti-Catholics," and as having no part in the " One Lord, one faith, one baptism" of the Christian or Catholic church. Now, Sir, we cannot imagine you to he so ignorant of the meaning Of words as not to know that if . you rightly,addr ess us as " fell ow -Ch r i st i ans " th en we can n o t be beyond, the pale of the Catholic or Universal church; while, if you really be lieve us, as the close of your letter se e ms to intimate, to have no part in that " one Lord, one faith, one baptism," which belongs to all Christians, then your previous appeal to us as " fellow-Christians" cannot escape the charge of insincerity. You close by a.uspicating our " return to that one faith which our fathers and your fathers held of God." It is our hope and confidence that that faith is already possessed by us. Your church, as you are doubtless aware. expresses her faith in four creeds. Three of these are of ancient date; the Apostle's creed, the Nicene, and the Att,anasian. All these, " which your fathers and our fathers held to God," the Protestant churches at this present moment cordially accept and maintain. But the church of Rome hai added a further one of more mo dern date, the creed of Pope Pius IV., promulgated only in the year 1564, the authority of which we entirely deny. It is upon ihis novelty alone that the difference turns. " The faith which your fathers and our fathers held to God" is ours still. Nay we not, therefore, with more justice and propriety call upon you to give up your modern additions, and to join us in that faith whose antiquity you profess to revere ?—We have the honour to be, &c., (Signed by the Secretaries.) REcoVERy OF POSSESSION BY LANDLORDS.--There is now before parliament a bill for facil►tating the recovery of the pos session of tenements after the determination of the tenancy. By this bill it is proposed that where a tenant or occupier of premises, the rent of which does not exceed £2O per annum, holds over, the landlord may go before a magistrate, who shall issue his warrant, directing the constables to assist the landlord in retaking possession. If the landlord has not lawful right to possession, an action will lie; but where he has lawful title to possession, no irregularity will make him a trespasser. The landlord, on getting possession, may remove the goods of the tenant, to whom notice of the place of removal moat be then given. Where premises are held at a higher rate than £2O a year, the landlord, on bringing an action of ejectment, may apply to a judge for security for damages and mists. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Emperial 13arliaratnt. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. After the presentation of souse petitions the house was counted out, and no further business was transacted. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. Mr. WlLics presented a petition regarding the snttling ,ousel at the Horse Guards, Tilbury Fort, andvarious barracks, for which rents were paid to officers, and praying that as they were built and repaired at the public expense, the said rents might flow into the public treasury. Sir J. Ginn am suggested, as private business concluded very early, the house should in future proceed to the orders of the day at half-past four o'clock. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed to the proposition; it was put to the vote, and adopted. Mr. WILES directed attention to the curious fact that the "‘ declaration" still remained in the marriages bill sent from the Commons to the Lords, although it had been negatived on a division of 67 ayes and 180 noes: the declaration was for those who had conscientious scruples against the religious cere monies. The error had created great agitation among the dis senters, and they declared that they would rather not have the bill than have it with such declaration. After some conversation with Lord J. RUSSELL, it was agreed to submit a motion on the subject to-day, for a message to get back the bill to correct the error. RAILROAD TOLLS. _ . Mr. BAINES wished to know whether it was the intention of the hon. member for Ipswich (Mr. Morrison) to proceed this session with his bill for the periodical revision of the tolls upon railways. There was a strong impression out of the house that this was a very extraordinary proceeding. He wished to know whether it was the intention of the hon. member to proceed with this bill, feeling as he must that it was not approved of out of the honSe ? Mr. MottaisoN answered that he had no hesitation in saying that it was his present intention to proceed with his bill. Ile would, however, move that the second reading be postponed till Monday, in order to give hon. members, whose constituents felt an anxiety on the subjeCt, an opportunity of consulting them. If he thought that his bill could not. be passed this ses sion, he would withdraw it; but be knew that •it was the wish of a great number of persons in the house and out of it, that this bill should pass. One part of this bill was much misunder stood, and he had been asked by some friends whether it was his intention to provide, in effect, that tolls on railroads should hereafter be altogether abolished. Now, the word " abolition" occurred in the bill, but it was by no means necessary, and he had not the slightest objection to strike, out the word. It was certainly not his intention that persons who engaged in these great public undertakings should not be remunerated; it was the duty of the house to encourage persons who engaged in works of this kind, and his measure would not have the effect of discouraging them; if it had, he would be very reluctant to 'proceed with it; but he was very sure it would , have a contrary• effect, and he was equally sure that no persons ought to feel more interested in the bill than the proprietors of railroads themselves. He concluded by moving that the bill be post poned till •Monday._ The bill was understood to be deferred. Lord J. RUSSELL believed the hon. gentleman who had charge of the Poole corporation bill wits anxious to bring it on to-night, and as far as he was concerned he did not object to the hon. gentleman bringing it on at five o'clock. Sir G. CLERK believed there were no fewer than six bills before the house most material to the people of Scotland. He had waited patiently during the whole of the session for some opportunity of discussing those bills. The first was of very great importance, relating to the commerce of Scotland — namely, the bankruptcy estates (Scotland) bill, which had been brought in by the Lord Advocate on the 25th of February, and from that day tothis there had not been an opportunity afforded of diseussing a single provision of the bill. Lord J. fussEt,t, admitted their right of precedence, by pre vious arrangement. JOINT-STOCK BANKS. Mr. FOSTER presented a petition from the directors of a joint stock bank in Walsall, praying that the inquiry ordered to be made into joint-stock banks might be extended to private ba nks. He differed from the petitioners. For his own part he con ceived that joint-stock banks, existing' under the provisions of an act of parliament, and enjoying certain privileges therefrom, were more properly the subject of a legislative enactment than private banks, which carried on their business independent of an act of parliament. • lie was informed by several most re spectable private bankers, that if government would grant them the same privileges that were granted to joint-stock banks, they would willingly disclose everything connected with their busi ness. Lord SANDON presented a petition from certain bakers of Liverpool, praying to be allowed to bake ship bread and biscuit from ground bonded corn, for outward-bound vessels. • Sir C. B. VERE asked when the report of the poor law com missioners for Ireland was likely to be ready ? Lord J. RUSSELL answered that all he knew on the subject was, that it was " in a state of preparation." The Loan ADVOCATE deferred till next session the bank rupts (Scotland) bill; after which, on the learned lord's mo tion, the house went into committee on the sessions court (Scot land) bill. That bill occupied a good deal of time, as did the committee on the small debts (Scotland) bill. The house went into committee on the Poole corporation bill. The first' clause was discussed at considerable length. The committee divided on it. The numbers were—ayes, 98; noes, 64—majority, 34.—The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAI. FOREIGN-WOOL. Mr. P. THOMSON stated, in answer to a question from Mr. Heathcote,t hat the French government had reduced the duty on English wool imported into France. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON asked the Under-Secretary of the Colo nies whether the committee for the promotion of female emigra tion to Australia had been acting under the sanction of govern ment ? That committee had sent out twelve vessels, containing about 1500 single females, all of which had safely arrived. The last two, containing 600 females, had reached their destination without the occurrence of a single death. He was, therefore, desirous of knowing whether the government were satisfied with the proceedings of this committee, or whether the colonial go . - vernment of Australia had reported to the home government their approbation of the proceedings of the said committee in that colony. He would be glad if the hon. baronet would ex plain the exact natnre of their proceedings. Sir G. GREY said he had no difficulty in stating that the com mittee to which the hon. gentleman had adverted, and of which he was an active member, had rendered most efficient assistance in promoting the objects of female emigration to Australia. The hon. member for Berkshire had alluded, the other evening, to a placard which he (Sir G. Grey) had not then seen, but which he had since learned had emanated from that committee. He then stated it was a voluntary committee of gentlemen, who gave their time gratuitously for the promotion of a laudable and useful object; and he bad now to say, in addition, that that committee had acted under regulations which were sanctioned by government—regulations which he believed had been made after much deliberation, and with a view to render their object as efficient as possible. With regard to the approbation of the colonial government, he had only to refer the hon. gentleman to the paper containing a report of the arrival of the ships, and the location of the emigrants after their arrival. ESTABLISHED CHURCH BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the house go info committee on the established church bill, in a long speech. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON moved, as an amendment, that an ad dress be presented to his Majesty for the appointment of a com mission to consider and report on the expediency of abolishing the existing system of translation of Bishops. Mr. EWART, in seconding the amendment, said, that one of the reasons which led him to oppose the system of translations was, that it went to encourage a worldly ambition, which he re garded as most fatal to the true interests of religion and to genuine piety—an ambition which did not exist in the purer ages, of the church. It had been stated to the house that the noble lord proposed to make the income of the bishops vary from £4,000 to £B,OOO, and thus did he establish a regular ladder for their ambition—providing for the branches of the great aristo cracy, and neglecting the interests of the poorer clergy, that working class who ought to be the more immediate object of at tention with the legislature. The measure was one which he thought calculated to shake all confidence that the laity might be disposed to place in the church establishment, for it was not a measure of real reform—it was not one which would satisfy the people —no, nor even the church, for the church itself was unanimous in desiring to see au end put to the practice of translation. A. real reform would begin with the democracy of the church, and would assimilate it to the church of Scotland, where the clergy lived amongst the people, and for the people. As it was not what the exigency of the case required, he hoped the proposed bill might be thrown. out. Sir R. PEEL said he should support the measure of the noble lord, not because the commissioners upon whose report that measure was founded had been appointed while he was in office. but because he approved in the main of the principle of the bill. It was quite true that the commissioners on some points in their report appeared to have differed, and to have been so nearly di vided as that the numbers were as six to seven, yet he was en titled to state that when they were appointed, on the issuing of the commission, they did not differ from each other iu politics, but circumstances had since. changed, and with that change of circumstances a division took place between them. There was, however, one point upon which they were perfectly unanimous, and to which allusion had beep already made, These commis sioners, then, however, differing from cads other in politics, had certainly recommended a measure, the object of which was to conciliate the affections of the people, and to extend the sphere of that influence which the church exercised—they had, in short, recommended that which every layman, wishing well to our church and sincerely attached to its true interests, would most earnestly desire to see realized. One of the best proofs that the favourable opinion which that report drew forth was well founded, might be.derived from the very earliest proceedings of the commission. What was their first act ? Every bishop be longing to the commission resigned at once all the patronage that he posse sse d, to whatever extent that patronage could be made availabl e for the purposes of any measure of reform that might be founded on their report. Some hon. members had thought proper to contend that the proposed measure of the noble lord would have the effect of making better and more am ine provision for what they called the aristocracy of the church than the democracy. Now, he requested for a moment that at tention might be directed to the manner in which the present state of inequality operated, and even the way in which the pre sent mode of exercising church patronage was exercised. He would take the five first names in the Red Book—the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of London, Durham, and Winchester, and he would beg to inquire if those most rev. and right rev. prelates appeared to have been advanced to their high dignities and emoluments from any consi derations connected with the feelings or the influence of aristo cracy. Was it not a matte; of the most perfect notoriety, familiar to every man who new anything of the church, that they rose by reason of their learning, their virtues, and their other eminent qualifications ? and sureV, with facts such as these before the house, they could not for a moment doubt that the democracy of the church would feel their interests had been fully considered and as effectually promoted by the translation of• those dis tinguished persons to the highest situations in the church as if all the church livings were brought to the one uniform staudard of £4OO or £5OO a-year. He admitted that the measure•of the noble lord, of which he professed himself a supporter, was one which would still leave apparent inequalities in the church, dif ferences in the actual amount of the emoluments received; but he felt satisfied that no man having the most moderate acquain tance with the affairs of the church could entertain a rational doubt that an exact and uniform scale of emolument would lead of necessity to substantial inequality, owing to the different cir cumstances affecting the severalhishops in the respective sees. He was, then, fully persuaded that the house would agree with him in thinking that an income 01E4000 or £5OOO could not be fixed for all the sees. The only mode of making the emoluments really equal would he, to accommodate them to the varying cir cumstances of each individual see. But the inequality of which he spoke could he defended upon anotherground—namely, that our various civil establishments were marked by similar inequali ties. He had not overlooked the circumstance that some hon. members at the other side of the house objected to the present measure, as calculated to excite ambition in the members of the episcopal bench. The real question, however, we's this—were hon. members prepared to separate the higher classes of the clergy from any the least inter Terence in Volitical affairs, to de- , ' .3 - :. - ri 1 )3 il r t prive them of all means of giving effect to political opinions, and•to prevent them coining in contact with those to whom the busineSs Of politics more properly apperta i ne d ?

The pas sing Of this bill would not, in his opinion, contravene the views of any gentleman, while it would lay the foundation for iu creased usefulness on the part of the superior clergy, and for enlarging the measure of respect and veneration with which the church was at present regarded. Mr. F. BuXton, Mr. Harland, Mr. Hume, Mr. Poulter, and one or two other members took part in the debate, when the 'house divided, when the amendment was negatived by 124 to 41. :Another amendment, about which some mistake appears to have been made, was proposed by Mr. Trevor, and negatived by 142 to 22.

FOR the effectual extirpation of every species an d s y m p tom of the Syphilitic Disease,and the many disorders ari ing from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at street:Liverpool. (four doors from Slater-st 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. (* -- -With each box is given directions to take these Pills, and observations on points, beneficial to e patient. being hints worth knowing, by those who are, or have been sufferers from this dreadful and devastating malady. "Venienti occurite morbo." "Oppose the disease in its infancy." "These, 0 sinful pleasures, these are thy trophies—'tis thus co-operating with the foe of God and man, thou degradest hu twin nature, and blasteth the opening prospects of human fe licity."—BLAlß. So said Professor Swedour, when he discovered his grand PANACEA for this Complaint, The "Hyyean Pills." (then un known to the annals of medical discoveries,) as a specific reme dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought lessness : never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele brated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country, and ad dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance. The certainty with which they were continually administered, can be attested by many thousands, in fact during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the Soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satis faction. The Hygean Pills root out every particle of the insid uous poison, purifying in their progress the wholemass of fluids, they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their 'action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser hu mours and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to con vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery— they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. The Hygean Pills may be depended upon as a cer tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygean Pills, for when taken be fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, removing . the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger ous mineral when injudiciously administered. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, No. 54, Seel street, Liverpool, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives advice to al applicants taking any of his preparations, WITHOUT A FEE.

STIRLINGREES' ESSENCE. No Medicine ever s t ock, the test of the leading" Members of the Faculty with so much success as STIRLINGREES' ESSENCE; their recommendations, as well as those from persons who have experienced its salu brious and beneficial effects (together with yast and increasing sale) proves its great success and decided superiority over ery other preparation, in being the most safe and effectu emedy ever discovered for the cure of Gonorrhcea, Gle , Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Fluer Albus, or White Pains in the Loins, Kidneys, Lumbago, Gravel, Init• io of the Bladder, Urethra, and every disease incident to th xual and Urinary Organs, frequently pet forming a perfect re in the short space of three or four days.

In cases of Debility. Want of Power, both Local and General, Tabes .Dorsalis, Diabetes, Wasting Impotence, and Nervous Depres sion of Spirits, it has been taken with the most decided benefit.
