Before these remarks come before the majority of our readers, the fare of the above bill, of which the third reading was last night to be moved in the House of Lords, may possibly he 'decided. What may be that fate it is therefore scarcely worth while now to speculate upon. From our present information. ,however, so, strong is the feeling which has been excited in the minds of certain members of the house, by a proceeding of which we give the particulars below, that we understand a motion would be made last night for the re-committal of the bill, if nut for its being thrown over for the present session. It is sell known that, by the enclosure of Wallasey Pool, a space containing 160 acres of safe anchorage and beaching, ground, which they have enjoyed frOm time im memorial, will be lost to the coastinz trade and shipowners of the Mers,y ; and it naturally became an object with those parties to take care that something like an equiva lent should be provided for them. Accordimlv, upon the introduc'ion of the bill in the House of C,mmon., a pe tition against it (the ordinary mode of proceeding in such cases) was presented by the - Shipowners' Association ; upon which an.arrangement was effected between the pro motes and the petitimers, which will be best understood by giving here verbatim the original clause affecting their interests and the amended clause agreed to be substituted. The Clause (No. 128) in the original print of the bill in the Cortimovs wag as follows : "Provided - • also, and he it enacted, That the rates hereinberore mentioned shall not he charged. in respect of any vessel of less than one hundred tons register, entering the said intended basin near Woodside Ferry from any. port or place within the United Kingdom, and not remaining therefor a longer.period than TFIRP.EI TIDES." The same clause, as altered by the agreement entered into, w!is as follows, the alterations being shown by Italics : " Provided also, and - be it enacted, That the rates hereinbefore mentioned shall not be charged in respect of any vessel of less than one hundred tons register, entering the said intended basin near Woodside Ferry, from any port or place within the ,United King dom, and not remaining there for a longer period than seven days ; nor shall any rate be charged for a longer period, if such vessel shall he inward t-r outward bound, and remain Within the last. mentioned basin for shelter only, and not for loading or unload ing." Here, then, were two distinct boons gained ; first, the Substitution of seven days for the very inefficient period of " three tides," as that during which vessels might lie in the basin free of dues ; and secondly, the provision that vessels-remaining beyond the seven days, for shelteronly, should remain free of dues. And on the following agree ments bring endorsed on the foot of the bill, viz.,— "On behalf of the Shipowners' Asociation, I approve of the al terations in this Bill, clauses 1'27, 128; 143, 145, 146,150, and 151.' "JOnN NORTH, Secretary of the Shipowners' Associarion." "On behalf of the promoters of this Bill, I agree to the above al terations being inserted in the Bill, as Parliament may direct. "Jost. en ),lALLABY, sMarch, 1844." the petition of the Shipowners' Association was withdrawn, in the full confidence that the clause agreed upon would be faithfully inserted in the bill. The bill went into the Commons ; not, however, with theclause inserted in itwhich hadbeenagrcedupop with Mr. North, but with a totally different el, nee, suggested (in ignorance of any previous agreement having been entered into) lay the Lords of the Admiralty. By this clause the period for vessels to remain in the basin, free of dues—the unprompted suggestion, by the bye, of their lordships, who saw the insufficiency of the period of three tides first pro-osed—such period was -extended to six tides, with a provision to meet the emergency of .gales of wind or ad verse winds; and the House of Commons extended that .period to eight tides, in which shape it passed their House . and was taken up to the Lords. When in that house Mr. Mallaby stated, in explana• tion, that-the admiralty bad "insisted" upon the inser tion of the clause as inserted in the bill (the eight tides clause) "instead of the - one which was arranged; and Net, in reply to a noble lord,, he confesses,—" I believe they were not made acquainted with the,previous arrange ment" with the shipowners! In corroboration of Mr Mallaby's refutation of him self, with respect to this " insisting" of the Lords of the Admiral' y, a letter from the secretary states, under date of the llth instant, " that their lot dships made no specifie obj-ction to the coaste=rs remaining seven days in the basin." , Mr. Mallaby adMitted •furthr in the hcute that no explanation, as to the arrangement come to, was offered to the House of. Commons. The cross-examination of this gentlemen by Mr. Tal. but, on the 10th instant, ,-and,the evidence of Mr. John North. in reply, we give in full . • " cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT.—Did you eser comninnieate to the Shipowners' Association, or to Mr. North, us acting for theni, what the Admiral?, insisted upon ? Mr. MALLABY.—NO; there was no time - for the purpose. Mr. TA I.Brrr.--Do you mean to say that there has been no time since the Bill passed the H ouse of Commons ? Mr. MAT, LA BY.-.-No ; I do not mean to say that; I eta certain that Mr. North, who stands there, was familiar with all the proceed. logs that were goine on. Co M ITT E E Was he present ? Mr. MAL I will not say that he was present. Mr. TA I.TlOT.—Holl'e gall QM/ means of stotin.l . to the Committee that Mr. North wa s acquainted tcrth the circumstances wi of t t passed?

M r . TALBOT —Your conviction is, that Mr. i s e N u o s t s t e h w as aware it, ttt what time ? Mr. MA?. , A BT. — I cannot say. Mr. TALBOT.—Not before the clause was d in the Com mittee of the House of Commons? MALLABT.-"NO. , - Mr, TALBo'r —You placed bef ore y our C ounsel the Dill, as set tled with the Sh'plwners' Association ? Mr. MALI:AM.-1 did. Mr. TAT.noT.—When was that? Mr. MA LIABT.—In the course of the discussion. Mr. TA LBOT.—When ? Mr. MA LLABY.—In the Committee of the House of Commons. Mr. TALBOT.—Heroic the clause was discussed? Mr. MALLAny.—Yes, before th. , clatises generally were discussed." Co m rnre with the above the straightforward explana tion of Mr. North : "Mr. TALBOT.—At that time did you first become acquainted with thr fact that the clause introduced into the Bill speaks of eight tides and not of seven. days? Mr. NORM—Upon Saturday last. Mr. TALBOT.—There is 110 mistake about that? Mr. Nottnr.---Not the smallest. I can explain it if von wish. Mr. Clay, who is concerned for the Coasting Trade, applied to me, as I had been concerned for the Association, for some assistance. which I willingly gave him. • In the course of our conversation I told him incidentally, that the coasters were to have seven days' ex emption from (Fick rates in the Woodside Coasting Dock. On Satur day last, Mr. Clay, I believe, for the first time, bud in his hand the Act as it is' now before your Lordships' House, and, bearing in mind his conversation with me, his attention was attracted to the clause now in question,whicb only gives eight tides. Became immediately to me to ask for an explanation of it. I said it was impossible. I could not believe the fact till he showed it me in print. I was quite sure I could produce the evidence of the agreement whirl, bad been made, and I opened the box in which the papers of the Shipowners' Association were kept, and produced the Mr. TALBOT.—That was the first intimation you hurl of the change? Mr. Nowrn.—YE S. Mr. TALBOT.—Had you ever seen the Bill before then Mr. NORTH.—NO, I may have seen the Bill, hut I do not think that I ever opened it.

Queen Ade laide will return to England from the Continent on the 23d instant. BOLTON, SUNRAY MORNlNG.—Considerable excite ment prevails in this town in consequence of a threatened turn-out of the 'whole of the operative cotton spinners in the Bolton district. I stated in the Herald three weeks ago that the spinners of Bolton had given notice to their employers that they would leave work at the end of a month unless their wages were advanced 10 per cent. The term of notice expired yesterday and- to -day, and as no satisfactory arrangement had been come to most of the operatives left work at the time fixed. The consequence is that many of the mills are now stopped for want of bands, whilst some of the-masters have readily complied with the demand of their workpeople, and have agreed to give the advance required. Most of these masters hale made a condition that, unless the advance be made general, they will come down to the price paid by their neighbours. At present everything is in a state of the greatest uncer tainty. Many people think that on Monday morning the masters generally will give the advanced price, whilst others say, it is very probable that a compromise will be come to, the masters agreeing to pay five per cent. advance on the present rateof wages. There are others, however, who declare their determination not to give any advance whatever, and in this state things remain at present. The operatives,, I understand, have called an extraordi nary meeting of delug , tes from all the mills in Lan cashire, to be held in Manchester, where it is said some definitive course will be adopted, not on y as regards Bolton, but other towns in the manufacturing districts. UR , : LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THREATENED SPLIT IN THE CHURCH OF ROME. • - The recently pull'slied no , t ber of the Quar:erly Re view contains au article, the production evidently of either a Rom'sh priest or (me ititimatt ly acquainted w th the workings of the Itnni,h system, which c attains revela tions so important that we make no apology for placing its substance before our readers. For some time a con troversy has been going on between the R mein Govern ment and the Church of Rome in the kingdom! of Bavaria, upon f, the subject of some a'ter Ilion de manded by the latter in the practices and regulation of .the church. The rigorous censorship of the press bow; ever, which is exercised in most Catholic countries by ecclesiastics, together with the care taken by Route to preserve secret whatever pas-es between the pontificate and the clergy, has hitherto effec:ua Iv prey, n err the dr tals of this dispute Insist coming to the ears of the lair} , or trtnspiring at all beyond the limits of the church itself. It has net moreover, up to this period, been pressed to extremity by those who feel therv,selves aggrieved, from a fear of creating schism and rupture of the establishment. A change, however, has at length been wrought in this latter point; and fully recognizing al the &It gers and difficulties attendant upon separation from R.nne, the complainants have now resolved to risk any evils which, might result from such separation rather than continre. to submit to the continuance of the practices against; which they protest: The four points upon which they have been insistibg are, first, that the publ c worship should be performed io all countries in the vernacular tongue ; secondly, that the cup should be given as will as the bread in the sacrament' to the laity; thirdly, that the ftequetsting of the confess sional should not be compulsory ; fourthly, that the vows. of celibacy shall not be obligatory on the clergy. ' With regard to the first of these points they complain that the "unchangeable" character of the laws or the. church has been pushed so far that it becomes a fraud, the priests having . multiplied the unchangeable laws in order to obtain money for dispensations to break them. They complain, too, that. this particular law against ver nacular prayers has been relaxed elsewhere—but not for them. In France a prayer-bock is used which has the Latin and the French translation io parallel columns ; but such a work is proltibi:ed in Italy, Spa - in, •Poitugal, and all othr r countries where the power of the church is abso lute. In the north of Germany and the .Tyrol they use a German mass book; but it is rarely to be met with in Austria, Bohemia, and Syria. It is urged too that. i country districts and etas' in some towns, the priests themselves know little more of Latin than the people ; and hence tie impoi tanee of the vernacu:ar being utdrer sally permitted to be used. On the second roi,rt —the refusal of the cop to the la'ty—it is urged as opposed to set ipture that, of the.two elements coreposiNg the soiertiihunt. ,bouici bi refused or which it is specially said " dri..k ye all of it." The objections to the third practice—the compulsory attendanre upon the confessional—we shall quote from the article itself : " With the third point commences our difficulty, and one be fore which we confess ourselves compelled to yield we are precluded from the possibility of proving our position, and we must r tate at once our conclusion, which is this—that if it h d been the intention of any body of men to corrupt the morals of the human, race, to habituate children of both sexe , .to itn- Nrity. fills, and praigacy, it would have lieen impossible to have devised's: scheme more complete y adapted to produce that effect than the practice of the confessional. as is now ar .ried on its the church of Rome. The common sense of mankind, the ordinary feelings of morality. would liar e made it inipcbssible to carry into practice such a project, unless - it had assumed the 'mask of religious duty to God ; and when the sense of morality is so far deadened, as that any persons should suppose that burning alive can be well pleasing to God, it is not difficult for such to imagine that obscenity in thought nd language should be so likewise. Whilst it is obvious that it is imp ssible here to prove our assertion, we will at least furnish the means by which any one who is so inclined may satisfy himself; we recommend such en one to" react the ordinary t ltornan Catholic prayer book, called • The Garden of tie Sony at the , arts Which relate to self-exan illation in order to confession : next. the books which are written to instruct the priests to extort from reluctant females in the confessional things whic I no pure minded woman has ever imagined; e. g , ' La Methode pour la direction des ames dans le tribunal de la Penitel ce. et pour le gonven ment des Riroisscs, Paris, 1834 ;" 11 Confessore di retto per le confessioni della gente di campagna, Itolmna, 182 a ;' Le Rituel de Toulon ;' or any similar books Which make in all countr es the st ck in trade of a priest, and some or other of which are to be found in all their houses ; and then let them read any work of Theologia Morals on the confessional and the seventh commandment. '•'l his subject in Pro'estant countries is merely either a matter of speculation and theory, or a handle for rontrover sialists wherev ith to attack papists—a task for which. it must be confessed, the heroes of discussion meetings' are singularly ill qualified. But with the honest ecclesiastics of Germany, the Tyrol, Switzerland, Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary, these things are no swculations and theories. but sad and painful realities. They know that corruption of the youthful mind is the natural and almost invariable result; and some are determined that the fruits of this system shall not he hd in a corner any more; but, let the con- equences he what they may, the secret recesses of infamy shall be exposed, and the system be put an end to. "It is impossible in the very nature of thins that a young female, or almost any female, can have such a burden on her conscience as can make her desire often to resort to special and private confession to a priest; and certainly it ought not to be tole ated that she should have indecent thoughts suggested to her, even at the early age of seven years old ; for at this period do they begin to insinuate their filth in the convents in which girls:are commonly educated. The heads of the church them selves admit the liability of abuse through the confessional, and frequent exhortations ate published desiring all women who have, improper solicitations made to them there to denounce the: confessor; hut a moment's consideration will show the inutility of this exhortatlon ; and me instance which we will give must suffice for all. An Italian gentleman of our acquaintance re moved with his family from the place of his nativity to a town in another state ; soon after their arrival the wife went to the confessional in the pa'ish church, where improper proposals were made to her ; she ran home and acquainted her husband: he made a formal complaint to the proper autho ities in her name : a day was appointed for the examination cf the charge : and when the time arrived the lady naturally declined to appear.

"The effect of the system upon the minds of the people is obvious: and Sir George Smythe might have given a much fuller defence of the term ' beastly,' which he applies to May rmoth-- (see his pamphlet, published at Chelmsford;—than that which he has done, if he had been more fully acquainted the subject. The immediate object, however, of bringing for vv,:rd this point at the present time is not so much with refe rence to its effect upon the laity as to its effect upon the priests themselves' and whoever int nds to take the trouble of con sulting the works to which allusion has been made, should remember that these books are the private and secret studies of those who from their earliest years have taken vows of celibacy upon them ; who live alone, shut op in their own solitary cham ber, apart from all the world, for many hours every day. Such persons require a peculiar absence from all demoralizing words and thoughts; it ought to be their unremitting labour to banhli every imagination, even the most transient, upon detals of viee ; whereas, to sit alone and study all the forms and va , ia tions of impurity upon which Spanish arid French casuists hava written, analysing and classifying every variety of crime which the mo=t brutal and sensual of mankind have ever perpetrated, as in the works of Sanchez, Escobar, Sa, Facundez, Gobat, Bre., &c., is the sure and certain method to make the vows a nullity." The writer goes on to remark upon the practiCe, in France and elsewhere, arising out of 'the immorality thus engendered amongst the priesthood, of holding periodical visitations for the investigation of charges lodged and the infliction of punishment. In the dioceses of the North of Germany, where a bishop's court sits twice a week, he says, "So great and so incessant are the horrors brought to light, that the excellent prelate who presides over 'one see more immediately under our eye, passes the whole night afterwards in fasting and tears of penitence for the things which have come before him. The extent of immorality is so great that it is considered a good sign (2f a priest if he is known to keep a mistress without causing any public scandal, and no notice is taken of him. If, however, she produced in the village, then he is removed to another parish; if lies at the parsonage, or ir they quarrel so that a disturbance is the same thing occurs a second time the same treatment is pursued; if it is repeated a third time, he is degraded, all employment and means of livelihood are taken from him; and many such are to be s e en throughout Germany breaking stones upon the road, or serving. as privates in the army. These, however, are not the immoralities which produce upon the minds of bishops such effects us have been above described. They are such as cannot be put upon paper—hide ot ts unnameable crimes—committed in the most holyplaces, because supposed to be the most secure from the eye of man, regardless of , the eye of (hod. In Italy such offences, when not screened by some powerful patron, are punished by, incarceration in a convent, with starving and repeated flagellation, which frequently terminate in death. ; But in G ermany uo such power exists; more liberal; but less cruel More,tolerant both of good and evil. The example of the c3urt 111 the neighbourhood of the place to which we are now re ferring, tended not many years ago to sanction some of the worst of the crimes above alluded to ; and though it is now mended; the effects of past days are not worn out." With respect to the fourth point, the celibacy of the clergy, the Reviewer states that— It is a remarkable feature in the case that all the profligate cl —g, are strongly in favour of the continuance of the law of celibacy . ; whit all the moral clergy are for abolishing it. The Protestants in these dioceses qe . nerally say, that this is in. order that they may continue their flagitious courses in a way which it would be more difficult to do if they were married, but this is not the real ground of their re sistance. They resist it because they know that it is 'popular -at head quarters to resist it; and they take the side of the authorities at Rome in order to make friends to themselves of the Mammon of unrighteousness, that they may be in their, turn befriended.' Admirable as are those grounds en which' to plant opposition to the slavery of the Papacy, it .rej o i ces us much to remark a notice or two in the R et t ieto, indicating that those who are thus raising themselies against th es e evils are also departing from at least one Of the funda them or their an- , mental heresies of the Papacy. The fact to which we i , t ' h the others Mary. allude is thus referred to : "Those in favour of it are now .t,enerally styled Disciples of.

At p. 165 it is said,— Hence the O'Connellite faction in Rome, which has always been .opposed by Father Routham, the GeneralofJesuits, as being against all government alike in Church and State, whilst assanning the mask of attacking only the supremacy of an heretical church, has gained, much support. That. eConuellite fiction, we grieve to say, has been. taken up by all the English Roman ratholics resident in Rome : and the admirers 01 I.ameattnais are talking more composedly, and w;th le-ss. alarm, of the possibility of their throwing off all connection wit,. governments everywhere, and placing themselves at the head of the revolutionists thrutighout Europe. Some such desperate plunge, seems, imlecd, the natural death of a system so mighty, and with so much vitality, as the Papal system still possesses; it cannot die the' way of all flesh, and expire like a candle burnt downinto the socket, with a bright, perhaps, but momentary glare; it, must d.e in a con vulsion, and in suclr.a couvulsipn as will shake all Europe to its , very foundation.". TIIE NEW YOUR LAw AMENDMENT BILL. We some time ago adVerted to the clauses in this Bill aff-ctiog the alliitation and suppo t of illegitim:te child ren, giving ti e substance of such of them as we con s,dore,i,:if p a ssed into law, would in most cases, so far from atee..diog the rireseot system, (defective as it is) be found to ciperate—fit'st, as a den al of justice to the un fortuoate ferrate; secondly, afford the generally better conditioned se'ducer a ready means of escape from the support of his progeny ; and thirdly —as a consequence of both these effects—saddle the respective parishes throughout the country with the maintenance of nearly the whole of the illegitimate children, as well as induce other collateral evils in . social lite. We had hoped that what had been advanced on the eubject by ourselves and several .of our contemporaries, (especially the London Times—the unshrinking advocate of the protection and rights of the poor,) and also after the representations made by numerous 'I .cal autharities'n.agisterial and pa urchin!, (from, this town both personal and written), we had hoped, we say, that the new bill would, in this point, have been entirely re-modelled and rendered practicable and protective of the community; but in this we love been grtevtusly disappointed, though certainly nut greatly surprised, for the freaks and quiddities of our modern legislators are frequently such that, in our amazement at their, amateur arid blundering dealings with matters of which they exhibit a deplorable degree of ignorance and headstrong repugnance to enlightenment, we are. often driven to exelairn—"What in the name of all that is con jectural, will they do next 1" The present Poor Law we have ever considered as a cruel and unconstit iitional sub stitute for the humane act of Elyabeth, which with tome feW amendmen t s and due administration of its provisions, might have int t all the requirements both of the poor and ratepayers; and it appears that each. successive novelty that is introduced is but calculated still further to grind the fe rtmer, and entail additional burthens upon the lat ter. The dances At) w hielr we have alluded have already pas sed the Committee of the Flog se of Commons; one or two of them Li:wither] for the better. but the greater part " their or ijoal sins upon their beads. ' • In order to the biter understanding of the fubjert we shal state t!'h 'substance of the st vetal clauses seriatim, with ruch alterations as a few of them have undergone ; and point out, as we proceed, what we consider in the bulk of them to be still hitzhly objectionable : The Ist clause repeals former acts, and was of course passed. . _ The 2d, relating to the application of the mother for an order against the alleged father for the nia'ntenance of the child, originally allowed only six months' after the birth for that purpose. Thii being too short, NI r. T. Duncombe obtained an t xtens'on to twelve months; and Mr. J. S. Wortley hating stated that, as the father might pay the woman hush-money even tor that time, and thus rid him self of further liability, an addition should be introduced, leaving the father responsible thereafter, pro ided he had admitted Lituself to be the father. Sir James Graham finally proposed, with the general assent, that the father should be lia'de to summons at any time, on proof being given that he had paid money for the maintenance of the child within twelve months after its birth—this being to be taken as an admission of paternity on his part. — But still, the father might have been a sailor, (captain, mate, carpenter, or saihnaker,) on a distant voyage to China, Africa, South America, India, &c., and may be absent eighteen months or two years ; and there is no pro vision for such a ca.e. And how is the woman to pay the e.xpf nac of the suiutronQ, getting up her witnesses, &c., sl,e being already chargeable to the parish, and they pre cluded from assisting her (as will be seen below)? She might als6 keep her child for a year or two, and then be come a pauper, without his paying an}thing, in which case, too, her claim would fail to the ground. Tae 3d clause (of the original bill—for this is the 2d) allowed justices, on proof that the summons was duly served " personally," to make an order on the lather for 4s. a week fur the support of the child, or be comrni ted for three months. In the present bill the allowance of 4s. was altered by Sir J. Graham to the paltry and inadequate sum of 2s. 6d., and has been agreed to. It was, however, agreed that the summons would be duly served if left at the man's place of abode, in place of " personally,"—cer tainly an advantage to the woman. . By clause 4, .justices might adjourn the case for forty days, and the man might give notice of appeal to the next quarter sessions, and the court order costs to be paid by either party. On this clause much discussion arose. Mr. Denison pointedly remarked they might as well burn the bill at once as retain it, as it would render the whole inoperative. The appeal would throw uron the woman the whole onus and costs of defending herself. What chance had a poor.woman, with a child, friendless, and in the presence of strange magistrates, against a father, backed by a sharp-cutting attorney, or counsel, ready to take every advantage ? Few women would, or could, venture upon such a pieces; and he recommended that the adjudication should be by three magistrates in place of two (in the first instance), and their decision to be final. Several members concurred in the objection to the appeq; and Mr. Wakley urged the extension of appeal to the woman as well as the man, and said that the distress of females who were' left to support their illegitimate children was a frequent cause of infanticide, which, to his knowledge, occurred to a frightful extent.—We may here state that the appeal of the woman to the ses sions, if she were refused an order by the justice, would be of no avail, for she could nut go into court ; and, w e way add, that in nine Cases out of ten the appeal would defeat the order, and the - child (and mother- too) be eventually thrown upon the parish, althou;h the father might be well able to maintain it. The parish, cannot, by,the bill, in'erfere for an crder.—On a division, the ap peal was retained to the man, and to the woman (a quite inadequate counterpoise) the right of renewing her ap plication to the justices, on producing fresh evidence. By this clause the rich man would always be able to throw the poor woman overboard.- • The sth clause is to the effect that all money payable under any' order must be paid by the man to the woman, or, if she be incapacitated (being of unsound mind, or in gaol), to a person to be appointed by the justices, but not to any parish officer. The child must not be chargeable, and the order to remain in force for 13 years. This clause (with the exception of the 13 years, which apPears to be a proper time,—the present law giving only 7,) is highly objectionable, and was well combatted by Mr. Borthwick and others, but was carried. It will operate as an in centive to new and gross immorality ; for, if the woman go to the man for her money, what more likely than a further illegitimate offspring! In the cage of 'a servant who wished to keep her place and redeem her character, it will be wcrse than - the present law. If the man re fuses her the money, she must apply for a warrant, and follow up the process by again and trzain appearing in court, to the inevitable loss of lier situation. 'fine clause will also cause constant breaches Of the peace. A case in point recently occurred in this town. An order was ob tained from the magistrate by afernale on the father of her child, and she went to him with her sister, and asked him why he refused to pay. He forcibly r jetted her, and then seizing the sister threw her down into the street with such violence that, her head coaling in contact with the edge of the footwalk, her jaw-bone was broken, and her life was for some time despaired of. He was committed to the sessions for this savage assault, but the case dropped for -want of a witness, and the injured woman will remain an object for life ! By the 6thciaVSe, every woman neglecting to maintain her child, if able wholly or in part to do so, whereby it becomes chargeable, shall be punished as an idle and dis orderly person ; and every woman deserting her child, so that it -becomes chargeable, shall be punished as a rogue and vagabond.—Thus she is to be punished because she is unable to support her child or proceed against the father; for being destitute she cannot obtain an order against the man, and the parish must not assist her. With regard to the second part of the clause, will not the operation of the first conduce to the very offence of desertion ? The 7th clause is equally impolitic. No parish officer is to have the custody of any illegitimate child, or to re ceive any money under an order on the father, or in any way to interfere in an application, cr to procure evidence in support of it, under a penalty of 40s„ except atter the mother's death, and the child become chargeable, when (generous concession!) he may apply. (The penalty stated was, in the present bill, extended by Sir J. Graham, in like manner, to the -magistrate's clerk and .the con.. stable.) By this clause, though the woman be confined in the workhouse, and remain there with her child, no matter how long, the overseers are to have no remedy against the father, and the mother being destitute can have. none! The father, thus shielded, may go on in his iniquity in other quarters, and, in like cases, with like im punity. If this be not :a premium on libertinism, we know not what is. And why exclude parish officers from interfering . in the woman's behalf, in justice both to her; self and the parish? Surely (with reference to this and a former clause) they are more competent to apply for and receive the money than the woman, or any acquaintance she might etnploy • and, if she received it from their hands, is it likely it would be made a worse use of under their surveillance than if she received it from her own para mour, who might pay her off with one half of it, which, in her necessities, , she might be induced to receive,—he cliiMing credit for the, whole. ? It maybe added, as bear ing on this clause that-we find, on making inquiry, that exclusively of the great number of women receiving out door relief during confinement of bastard children, up wards of one hundred were sent to our Workhouse, and there confined from the Ist January to 31st December last year. • Such are the principal clauses of the bastardy portion , of , the new. hill ; and if most of them be not greatly al tered, or abrogated, in the Lords, they will press most unjustly on the unfortunate mothers; afford indemnity to thmos Commons,t urgentnot notwithstanding hsta h ding remonstrances .the o n tine man y profligate fathers; annoy magistrates by the recur rence ,of numerous cases -of broils and assaults; and, greatly increase the parish burthens. They were explanationsppaa d o n h e the and authorities here and elsewhere . ; and afford must be deprecated by all men o f r i g ht an other lamentable specimen of teckleS s l eg i s l at i on f or d7 i p li ; ih attical ; views ,of the ;object.

The head quarters of the Con eare vr,art very on numerousha e liee a n n ß d, i i r t m n i u n e g and organization, in a great measure, we owe the conser vative triumph which has been achieved in that town during the past week, and which, we trust, has finally broken down the tyranny which radicalism and Chartism have hitherto exercised over the constituency of a borough so important and, at heart, so loyal. May that triuriiiih be an example to the constituencies of other boroughs similarly trampled upon by faction ! On Tu,sday the united orders met, and having arrenged various matters of detail, and elected their several officers,, the Grand Lodge was adj to ned until next July, when they will meet again in Liverpool. On Friday niornitg, the 12th—a dsy which has ever been set apart by the Orange body for the celebration of the triumph of Protestant principles over the sower of Rome,—it was announced by placard that the Rev. T. Nolan, at the request of a respectable deputation, had consented to perform divine service in St. John's church, and to preach to the assembled body. In obedience to' Vie wishes of their officers, the members bad previously aharicloned all idea of getting up any procsssion, or of making even the slightest demonstration which might have afforded an opportutti'y to the Ramish and anti church party of the town, of getting up a disturbaneesind wreaking their spite upon the loyal supp-rters of the constitution, and the Protestant institutions of their country. At the usual hour of divine service, a numee rows body of members proceeded .accordingly to church, vi ithout anything like array, or precimeert, and without a display of a single banner, or any ether emblem ; and be fore the commencement of prayers the whole of the body of the Church was crowded with a 'respectable and atter). tiVe audience, a considerable proportion being females, the wives or sisters of the members, the gallery also being respectably filled. Amongst the congregation we noticed the Rev. F. Parry and several others of the clergy of the town, J. Wilkinson, Esq., senior churchwarden, James Parker, Esq., &c , &c. The service was impressively read by the Rev. Albany Lloyd, after which a sermon was delivered by, the Rev. T. Nolan, of which the following is a sketch, part being given verbatim : The qsw t uh h o o :ery it u stki s s to l t ki , e f a hne x l eiotn t t yhw w e t iii ~ 20 ch d proc p ee la d c e e d t a hl m is id rto n s o t r th r e io p e ro i :o c u o n , d n e p s l t ia a n t c te e n w ti i o ti t: a th e ie fo s l p lo ec ty i theae 81 body taken atoy' that e.t frmlool 7° l TheYr i re r o i d s i uni Exodus, s m'it i rn s te ::l beye i rrxee c n'tna h . ds s ec e t walks i : s .vtn r laa,' in : :: d s'asctAel:huLtiranpehe o ldnye : this celebrating a day, that in their hearts and minds has long been associated with principles to which they are ardently attached, as well as with the remembrance of mercies, for which this country can never be sufficientiy thankful. An invitation to preach the gospel is one which any ser vant of Christ would find it more difficult to decline than to accept, and on this broad ground I might easily jus tify my appearance here this morning: but as much for the association's sake that invited me, as for my own, 1 deem it right to offer a preliminary word of explanation, inasmuch as this society, like a still holier society, In the olden time, has of late years been almost " everywhere spoken against." Our blessed Lord has said, " Blessed are ve when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake." New, though not belonging to the Orange so ciety myself, I believe the imputations at ainst them to be groundless, and I rest my belief on their openly avowed principles, which are brirtfly enunciated—Loyalty to their Sovereign, based on fidelity to their God. Their practice, in order to be consistent with their principles. must he "sober, righteous and godly ;" and • while I protest aaainst the unfairness of holding an entire body respon,i ble for the inconsistencies or extravagancies of individuals, I have never discovered the practice of this body to he at variance with the high principles they profess.

I have cheerfully complied with your request, and now pro ceed under the Divine blessing. and guidance, to testify o t t at th f a a t iti ? t ra h c a e t ce rne o l f l,, G purifies the heart, the love that keeps thecstornandoonts, a nd in keeping of them finds its first, its best nod great the Grace nn t t h o o you brin the gorh;oss salvation ti of o n unto reward. In the good providence of God,, our lot, my brethren, has been cast in strange, eventful, perhaps ,even perilous times; a restless desire of change, seems to he the cha racteristic of the age in which we live. Mighty princi ples, the soundness of which hitherto lies not been dis puted, are now dragged forth and,pet opon their triei—an example from modern politics and theology will Mu-tree_ my meaning —the questiol,.ctif national education, which we thought was included in the settlement of the national church, and of the sufficiency of Holy Scripture as the sole rule of faith, which also we supposed to have been closed up for ever, at the time of the Reformation, are now opened. afresh, and find strenuous supporters cn both sides. In . such 'a time then, when the prescriptive' re spect due to yeeerable truth and ancient ,usage, affords no longer protection to institutions time honoured and sacred, it were downright folly to expect, that an institu tion like the church, by God's blessing planted in the midst of us, should be allowed to maintain her position undisturbed, her principles unexamined, her privileees intact, her possessions unassailed. Only consider the state and aim of the different parties into which societ, is divided in the present dasr and the position of our church, the protest she maintains, the counteracting influence she exerts against the objects and designs of them all : against the Revolutionist, she is the upholder of mace and good order: against the Infidel, she is the faithful witrt-ss and keeper of holy writ : against . the Romani-t, she is the stedfast protector against all tampering with either the truth of God or the liberties of roan, denouncing alike her traditions and her encroachMents, proclaiming in one article that " Holy Scripture containeth all things neces sary for salvation," and in another, that " the BiShop of Rome bath no jurisdiction in this realm of EnglantL" When all this is taken into consideration, - our surprise will be moderated, that parties, who on every other sub ject, are wide as the poles asunder, having no other prin ciple in common, should yet be unanimous in this, and cry out together against our church " down with it even to the ground." Our church then has many virulent enemies against which she must contend, but in main taining the struggle, the word of our God to whom we look for counsel and for strength, teaches is that " ` the weapons of our warfare are not carnal." Danger to the church involves a duty of course on the part of her Chil dren, to rise up in her defence. You, my brethren, are aware of the danger, and alive to the duty ; and my object is to offer you a ward of advice as to the tnannerin which, most effectually for the church, and at the same time most advantageonsly for yourselves, this defence .must be conducted. In the remarks I have to off,r, I have need to be comprehensive, for I mutt necessarily he :brief; and unless I am elso plain and easily intelligible, I feel that I must miss my aim altogether, which is •to say something encouraging, instructive, and useful to you. Bearing this in mind, then, I would beg your patient and • prayetful attention, wh le I endeavour to show you, first of all, what it is that makes a church valuable—without which it Would net be worth maintaining or defending; in the second place, I will attempt to point out to you, from the glorious page of your country's history, how, .from its first establishment, the Church of England bas tion of her institutions ; and, lostip, I will seek to 3 s o u r T how her children may, and ought, and enabled ' to s"i s p eiak been the pride of the country—the ornament and pro i tect strengthen, and exalt her. If I am it .11.1 e I have not wandered far from the spirit, at o m s e h n etoshus shows s pi . c o s u , found that t w e lla n i g i least, of these words of Holy Writ which you have chosen Y o of l Go r d n ' e s s e s te o r n na t l b t e r ' u e th m . for your motto, and on which, in order to impress them more deeply, I have chosen to address you ; for the ordi nances and laws of our church are in accordance with the which in you should walk, for she b • Jesus, way the rings you to who is the way, the living, and the true, ere well as the only way. She teaches you the work that you should do when she declares to you the will of God,- even your sanctifica ton e• and that " without holiness no roan can see the - E 't; we ask, what is St. Paul's description of " the Church of the living God ?"—" die pillar and ground of the truth." That only can be called a true church which has the truth, and preaches the truth, and provides for the transmission of the same truth in its purity and integrity to the generations yet to come, — the truth as it is in Jesus,—the truth that sancti fies,—the truth that makes free. In this consists the excellence of our own church. She is built upon the broad foundation of scriptural sufficiency, and scriptural truth; to the sacred word of God she assigns due pro. niinence in her creed, her 'articles, her services, through out. She has, under God, preserved the truth thus far ; and as long as she remains what she is, she will continue to teach it to her children; since, where the liturgy is read, the truth of God is honoured and set forth iu it. On this ground, then, ire are bold to maintain for our church, that she ansvvere; the description of the Apostle, and, therefore, lays undisputed claim to the. title. If this, my brethren, be the real excellency of our Church', iu what should the characterof real churchmen be'conspicu ous ? Ought it not to be in the value :they set upon hat truth,—in the zeal with which the y defe n d and propakate it; and, more than alt, in the growing holiness with which :they are bound to make manifest its blessed influence 4aver their own hearts and lives. Here the Rev. preachercn tered, at some length, into the gospel scheme of tedeMp tion, by Christ Jesus, meeting all the exigencies of ttean,• and satisfying all the requirements of God, chewing that in Christ the law of God is magnified, and made honour able, its perfections drawn • out by the very act that' de prives it ail of its terrors. - ,ln Jesus ouiv is that, other wise tremendous, question answered, " What is written in the Lord, how readest thou ?" ". Look unto him and be saved. for he is God, and beside him there is no Savi our. " This, brethren, is the " one thin is w needful ;" without this , all elsevalueless, as the foam ,on! the waters. Make.thise your grand aim, " seek first "the king dom of God and his righteousness; and all other things will be added unto you, —" Seek the Lord while he may be found," seek him in prayer and in the study .of his word. Ile will sheet' you the way in .which you Must walk, and the work you must do; thus will your Peace flow on as a river, and your righteousness as the staves of the sea. We regret our want of space for even an outline of the 2nd division of this instructive disccurse: it consisted of an appeal of the histery of England , rom the reforma tion to the revolution; exhibiting the two pr nciples in collision—of Protestant'sm (which he identified with our church) and of Romanism, the enemy of God's truth. He sheaved that when Pi otestantisin was in the ascendant, peace at borne, and success eiroad was 'the result. Whereas when Romanism prevailed in the councils of the state, disaster and defeat invariabTy fo'lowed. The Revolution he dwelt upon, and the bill of rights, wherein he said was established and conselidateci the power of the Sovereign, by defining and securing the liberties of the people,—after which he proceeded : It remains for me to say a concluding word, as to the mode in ehich, especielly, I would have you to defend and support your church. Brethren, the best safeguard (humanly speaking) a church can have, is in -the ardent r:k 01' allb know non the enemies with no encouragement or corn affection of her members; and the fairest reflection of her excellence is . that emitted by their gradually increasing i h n o g li r n a e c s e s , ..

Now, dear brethren, bear from me a word of exhiiriation, easily associated with the last remark. You know the s s on e ne v ms e , e ee sspo vigilance c oaiulyrs yourselves 3 t s with su and which c o h dr a)y.yoo your that, while your forbearance or proceedings on magnified into crime, and thus discredit will be attached tps m heri r li - st. :l ,c( - 'ai ' o a pr t nle i et o i n o , l the slightest. indiscretion will at once be to our holy and our beautiful cause. Let me then exhort you, that the , ceitinuance and the close of this day, may be in unison, with the mode in which you have chosen to commence it, being " sanctified with the word of God and with prayer,'!!stirrerate early, and proceed peaceably to your homes. The Christian's purest earthly delights ought to beat home; his most cherished companions, the wife of his bosom; and the children of their love. Act on such auuivereatics 4, this, in such a manner, that your wives and your children may have reason to rejoice, and to say it is good lir them, and for you, that you have been here. Then, indeed, will you be in the way wherein you should walk, and in the work that you should do. After advertieg' to the attar] effects of the several Dio cesan Church Building Sdciuties, originated by the good Bishop of Chester, and ' scow adopted in every other dioceSe in England, he enlarged upon the benefits re sulting, and likely still to result, both to the nation and the church. The ,public mind was gradually being disabused of that popular fallacy, that the church meant only the clergy ; and the _energies as well as the affections of the people were directed towards the church of their fathers,' which he looked upon as the great strong hold of her security and strength, without whir h, he said, all parliamentary ens ctruisnts and ecclesiastical commis sions would prove of no More avail aeiinst the tide of revolutionary fairy then the-cry of-the eifriehted courtiers before the plashine swiss that dashed the feet of their in trepid king, when he tebulted their sychot ancy and taught them to give the glory to God. After which he concluded nearly thus:—Finally, brethren, be strong in the Lord., and in the power of his misfit ; whether rejoicing in hope, er patient under tribulation, continue instant in player. Prayer real zes the presence and the power of God •, in this will be your strength. Many of you. no doubt, dear brethren, have trials and privations to endure, whereof the heart knoweth its own bitterne ss , y en may nave ex perienced disappointment Where you reposed confidence. You may lament that your cause and yourselves have met with coldness and unconcern where you expected, because you deserved, both sympathy and support ; and this.even in high places. Still you have duties to perform : if others neglect or forsake their duties, that is no reason for us to be remiss in the discharge of ours, and we are not without encouragement; for we serve the Lord Christ, and He demands of his folloe - ers activity in every duty, fidelity in every trust. " Quit you, then, like men, be strong." We know Him in whim we have believed ;" end He will never desert his cause, nor abandon those that put their trust in him ; we know that we shall, we must be, victorious in the end—" Even more than conquerors through Him that loved us." There is - a principle and a prover in true religion that can't be deFerihed ; it must be felt to be underst,od. It enhances world!y prosperity, acting like the pillar of the cloud lest the glare of this world's sunshine might wither the Christian's gracis : and like the pillar of fire it flings a light from heaven across the path of this world's tribula tion, lent adversity should blight the Christian's hope. Tree religion—"-the faith of the Son of God"—enables the believer in patience-to possess his soul, tarrying the Lord's leis'llre, hoping still in God: it assures him that at last he shall surmount every obstacle, and rise superior to every pressure. , So felt a holy men of old, so he believed, ba n and so s s en o nni l , , ,o e shake, tnlreaigt ie a nr e ,s i l l it d — " 1 1 1 rA w u o litt r i ( .2 1 bo s ue a gi r inl e w r itten nge f e st ? e o te u h r es learning tf l the olive shall fail and the fields shall yield no meat the flock shall be cot off from the folds and there shall be no herds in the Stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lcrd, I will joylif the God of my salvation." A discourse like the above, coming from a minister so universally 'end deservedly beloved as is Mr. Nolan, wherever he is knowniand whose hi:h talent, sincere piety, .and consistency of principle are acknowledged, may well be concluded to , have been received, by the members of the order assembled, with gratitude and admiration. It was so • received ; - nod from every source of information which is open to us it has not been without its due effect. in strtngthe in; the hearts of the brethren ' allaying that irritaticn engendered in their minds by the harrh and dis trustful conduct towards themselves and their cause by our local authorities; and, above all, in leading them to look more deeply into the principles, for the diAsetnination of ahicli they are associated, - and to strive to direct their proceedings and their lives in stria accordance with those principles. - :At the conclusion of the sermon, a collection was made in aid of the (rinds of the Blue Coat Hospital, after which the congregation quietly departed. 'But it was not, the intention of their cowardly enemies to permit a body of men, whose principles are' held in detestation by all disturbers of the.public peace: to return even from the performance of a duty so sacred as the at tendance upon the church of their land, without insult and attempted outrage. Accordingly, on the termination of the service, the church-yard of St. John's was - found to be surrounded' with a mob, filling the elide of St. John's-lane and-the Old Haymarket, and extending for a considerable distance up Manchester-street and along Whitecl,apel, about wtose mischievous bent there could be no question. Several attempts at stone tl.rowing were Made, and no taunts or insults were spared to induce - the desired disturbance. The presence of a strong body of pol wh i i l e s e t i uie however,i lighiy y r r e a p i r s e e s w s o e k r i t h o y n c y o o lie n r e y s s a and t n iv e dpa y t in ie i n e c ri e e e o f the Orangemen most materially contributed to this gra tifying result. One party was followed along Lime-street, nearly to the Park, by a mob cf disorderly fellows, who were only deterred from en attack upon them by the firm and resolute, yet forbearing, demeanour which they pre served. U In thd evening, the lorlg^s (bred at their varicus houses of meeting, displaying further their obedience to the au thorities of their town, by submitting to, what we cannot but think, a somewhat unreasonable demand of the magis trates, that the usual flags should not be hoi,ted from. their lodge windows ; and we are glad to be able to assert that, notwithstanding continual and persevering attempts to aggravate them, not a single case of disturbance, re quiring the intervention of the police, threw a stain over the orderly proceeding. of the previous day.

The picture thus possesses, and will continue as years re volve to possess, increasing interest. In the language of the prospectus of its publication, it is well remarked, that " It is impossible to imagine a subject of greater and more 'general interest than this picture, which represents the actual portraiture of more than seventy of those warriors, whoe having won fame Lind rank under their gallant host, heroism--to recall th e even t s o f t h at st i rr i ng thus assembled on the ann i versary o f t h e Crown i ng act of all their time.. , -to offer a tribute to the memory of those who fell — to rejoice with those who are spared—to offer their con gratulations to their veteran leader—and to receive his hospitality beneath his roof, protected during twenty-five years of a peace which was won and has been guarded by their valour." When we add that we have seen the en graving, and that it is an admirable work of art, in the vidual likeness and detail, we trust we need not add a word to induce many of our townsm en to do honour to finest style, a perfect counterpart of the original in indi themselves as patriots and as men of taste b y visitin g Mr. Grundy's, and becoming su bscribers.

PORTRA IT OF Lot SANDON.—SiDee the writing cf a r.otice of the Queen's picture, by Leslie, now •on view at Mr. Grundy's Repository of Arts, Church-street, we have been gratified with a view of a splendid new nortrait of Lord Sandell, destined, we believe, for the Collegiate Institution. The picture is painted by the same artistes the full-length portrait of Mr. Glad4tone, which we recently had occasion to eulogise. It is rich and powerful in colouring, well studied in ar rangement of light and shade, and firm and vigorous in execution. The position is easy and natural, and the ex 'eression pleasing and characteristic. We arc glad to find that it is proposed to engrave this portrait upon a large anti important; scale, uniform with the full-length portrait of Canning, alter Lawrence—to which it will make an ad rnirable companion; and from the deserved esteem in which the noble lord is held by all classes of his consti - tments, we feel confident that this Opportunity of 'being put in .possession of a faithful record of his person will understand, retrain for a few day's at Mr. Grundy'g , :pot le2 neglected by the public.
