Si the present no-popery crisis the following may not be unamusing:—l was passing through Rome about two years ago with a friend, and strolled into the cathedral; it was even ing, and a rather larg e congregation were attentively li s t en i ng to a reverend priest h olding forth from the pulpit on the subject of the new Gallican Church. Unfortunately, I was not present at the commencement of the lecture, and could only gather the following expressions :—" 'Will you allow any interference with our ancient church ? Shall we give up the language and cere monies handed downyy the apostles ? Will you submit to it ? Will God allow it ? No, I tell you, it would be sinful in the extreme—absurd in the extreme. Have we not prayed in Latin for ages ? Does nut every good catholic church pray in Latin ? Is not the ear of God accustomed to the Latin tongue ? And do not our prayers—the joint prayers of all his churches—come upon him in an overwhelming mass of sound, to which he has been so long habituated to attend, that his ear would be shocked at the substitution of any other language than the Latin ; and, confused by the level of languages, if every church throughout the world should change the Latin for the mother tongue, per haps (God) would not attend to us at all ? WE as ministers, you as members of the true church of Christ, are bound to set our selves against all innovation—all reformation—and to preserve that church in the purity in which it has been handed .down to us." After a great deal more to the same effect, he said, " But I know that all their schemes will be in vain ; God will shut his ears to all public pray ers uttered in any other language than in that which he knows his Son taught his church as likely to be most acceptable. Private prayers are differ e nt, th e y are trans lated by the saints—but neither saints nor angels will have any hands in such impiety as is contemplated. Their own/deeds will; overthrow them, and they, and all that join them, go on the way of perdition with those that have gone before them in similar senseless innovations. Those that are not with us are against us, and all who differ from the opinions of the true church are against us, and shall perish everlastingly, &c." This was preached before the bishop, Cardinal Prince de croi I wish I could have taken down all he said in short hand ; but the above was so iumpTessed on my memorythat you may depend 'upon its triali."77A few days ago I repeated the same, is sub stance, before the gentleman who was with me at the time, and he recollected perfectly the expressions, and would, if necessary, corroborate them. A PROTESTANT. HINT To NEWARK.--We hope the conservative interest at Newark are on the qui vice. They will shortly have an oppor tunity afforded them of Russellizing the ancient/Wend of poor Griffith .Jenkins, the very well known Sergeant Wilde. This worthy will ere long be a solicitor again for their suffrages as Solicitor-General—the man Rolfe getting a lift into a judgeship. The Melbourne-O'Connell ministry only want the addition of Sergeant Wilde to seal their doom. The electors of Newark, if they will, can return hint as Lord John was by the Devonians, and we hope they will do their duty.—Age. Lose 111E1.1101'R NK'S COURTESY.—Last yearwe had occasion to notice the extreme want of courtesy exhibited by the whig peers towards the Marquis of Londonderry in never alluding to him but "as the noble earl." This is still continued, and al though strictly correct.—for the marluis sits as Earl Vane,—is very disgusting. Lord Melbourne on l'uesday was most marked in dila contemptible piece of annoyance, for he was perpetually alluding to the Marquis Wellesley as the "noble marquis"— when he sits as a baron only; and to the Earl of Haddington as the " noble earl"—when be is only a baron of parliament ; to the Marquis of Downshire as " the noble marquis '—when he sits as an earl, &c. &c., yet invariably gave the Marquis of London derry the lowest rank ! This may appear trilling, but it shows the animus as the lawyers say,---it evinces a disposition to vex and annoy. We are convinced that the noble marquis cares nothing about it, but we do wish he would retaliate and see how Lord Melbourne would like being styled the " noble baron" instead of the "noble viscount;" for this latter title in Lord Melbourne is Irish, not Enylish.—Age. Loan WESTERN ON LTRENCII/4 ENT.—Lord Western has addressed a second letter to the president a nd mem b ers o f th e Chelmsford Agricultural Association. We believe that e rtra vayance is the last thing which any person would think of al leging against his lordship; but in the letter we find the fol lowing passage :—" The skin-flint and cheese-paring system will not do in this country ; we cannot go on without a pretty free and large expenditure." This is a truth of which every whig, possessing common sense, is perfectly convinced; but if a conservative had made such an assertion, .they would have loaded him with all the injurious epithets that party zeal could have suggested to their imaginations. But this is from one of their own party—from one who, in the county of Essex, stood high on the roll of patriotism, retrenchMent, and economy. WFISK, CONFECTIONER, 'Coot:, &e., 3, ST. • PLACE, Liirk.Epoot„ begs to return than -a- to the Nobility. and Public. in 'general for the liberal su ort he has. received the last six months ' and also begs to-in m them that he will have a constant supply of Cream an .ater .

" Sir ROBERT PEEL said, although he was resolved to avail himself of every advantage , in discussing this important ques tion Which might present itself in the course of its progress through the house, still he meant not to offer any opposition to the noble lord's motion, and would not throw the slightest im pediment in the way of the introduction of the bill. Sir Robert,. in commenting upon Lord John's observations upon the cor porations ,of the disfranchised boroughs of Aldborough and Oxford, whose cases had not been reported upon, remarked upon the extraordinary omission of Derhy, Nottingham, and Portsmouth, whig boroughs, whose real-practices were noto rious.. At the close - of the debate, leave was given to bring in the bill, and it was brought in by Lord J. Russell amid much cheering, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday se'nnight. OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON BILL, Mr. JERN IS obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to offences against the person.—Bill read a first time. Sir H. MUSGRAVE obtained leave to bring in a bill for the administration of certain civil affairs of a local nature in Ire land. IMPRISONMENT_ FOR DEBT (ENGLAND) BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that he bad to present to the house the report of the committee upon the bill for the aboli tion of imprisonineut for debt, to whom it had been referred a second time. lie had to state that the book debts had now been put on the same footing with bills of exchange and bonds. There had also been a certain set of clauses introduced by the committee which would enable the assets of insolvents to be ad ministered by trustees without a fiat of bankruptcy issuing, or without having recours.a to lawyers at all, so that if creditors chose they might wind up insolvents' estates-and affairs among themselves. The better to effect this it was provided that if seven-eighths of the creditors concurred in any proposed ar rangement, then the will of the remaining one-eighth should be overruled, so that they should not be able fraudulently to resist the negotiation. There wore many in the city of Lon don who were desirous that this set of clauses should be intro duced, and for whose opinion he entertained a great respect. He had now to propose that this bill should be ordered to be reprinted as amended, and that the report should be further considered on Wednesday se'nnight. He should then submit the bill in its amended form, and he hoped it would not only meet with the approbation of the house, but that it would Gun ter a great benefit on society. Mr. Hums felt personally grateful to the hon. and learned gentleman for what he had done on this subject, and was satis fied the country would be equally grateful to him for the in terest he had taken in that which he was quite sure would be beneficial both to debtors and creditors. After a few words from Mr. Pease and Mr. Richards, which were not beard in the gallery, the report was ordered to be re printed, and further considered on Wednesday se'nnight. Mr. WILKS gave notice that he should move next Wednesday for the appoiutment of a select committ ee to asce r t a i n an d re port th e p rogress that had been made in the investigation of public charities. FOREIGN POSTOFFICS. Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that in moving for leave to bring in a bill to extend the accommodation by the post to and trOm foreign parts, and for other purposes relating to the Postoffice, it would be necessary for him, according to the forms of the house, to move that the house should resolve into a committee upon the resolutions upon which his bill was founded. That would be very much matter of form, because the discussion upon the resolutions and upon the bill would have to take place af terwards. He would state generally that the great object of the bill was to nfford reciprocal facility in the transmission of letters and newspapers between this and foreign countries. When the bill should have passed, he entertained a sanguine hope that the wishes of France particulary would be met on this subject, and that then this country would be able to conclude a treaty with France that would be beneficial to both countries. (Cheers.) By this bill th ere wou ld b e no ad di t i on of postage, it would tie altogether a bill for the reduetion.of postage.- -He esaaeludelhy- moving that the house resolve itself into a com mittee. The house then went into a committtee. In answer to an observation made by Mr. HOME, which was inaudible in "the gallery, Mr. Ls riouctiLitE said he should b e happy to receive any suggestion of improvement from the hon. member opposite, or any other member in the house. Dr. BownING said that .having travelled much in foreign parts, he knew of nothing which would give greater satisfaction to France and this country than any additional facilities afford ed in the communication of newspapers. Mr. M. Pinups complained that newspapers addressed to members of parliament containing paragraphs which had been marked for the purpose of directing their attention to a particu lar subject were regularly charged by the Postoffice. Mr. AGLIONHY corroborated the statement, and expressed a hope that some alteration would be made in that respect. Mr. 1., 'loci:Hung said the subject was entirely new to him. He had frequently received newspapers containing marks as described by the hon. member without paying the postage. He would, however, communicate with the Postmaster-General on the subject, and be ready on some future occasion to state the result of his inquiries to the house. At the same time he must be allowed to sav, that some people who were very ingenious might so avail themselves of the pat ts of a newspaper as b 3 crossing particular parts to serve all the purposes of a letter, and that was certainly not to be connived at. Mr. Alderman TilosirsoN complained that a slight envelope containing simply a bill of exchange was chaiged double, whereas a large heavy letter of one sheet was subject only to single postage. Ile had fr equent l y thought it would be advisa ble for the postoffice to charge letters by their weight, and not according to their supposed contents. The resolutions were then agreed to, and the bill, as founded on'them, was brought in. Sir. d. GREY brought in a bill to continue till the 31st of De cember, 1836, the act. of 10 George IV., chap. 22, for the go vernment of his majesty's settlement in Western Australia, which was read a first time. SPEAKER'S LEVEES. The question of the adjournment of the house having been put, Mr. HUME rose for the purpose of calling attention to a mat ter, although of etiquette, yet in itself of considerable import ance. Nothing, in his view, could be more important in main taining the good understanding existing between the chair and the members of that house than the opportunities which were afforded of paying their respects personally to the Speaker at such times as he thought proper to app o i nt (h ear, h ear); and to his own knowledge, during the many years ho had been in the LIMITATION OF POLLS BILL. Mr. ELPHINSTONE, after shortly describing the bill, and de tailing the practicability of taking the poll at elections, both for counties and boroughs, in one day, and the prevention of bribery and corruption which would thereby result, moved the second reading of the limitation of polls bill. Mr. Ewalt; in seconding the motion, said the practicability of the bill was shown clearly on the evidence given by the town-clerk of the borough he represented, both before the cor poration commissioners and the committee of this house on the subject of-election proceedings. The numberof electors in Li verpool exceeded 11,0(X), and the officer to whose testimony he referred proved that the poll there could easily be taken in one day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not rise to oppose the second reading, though he doubted the expediency at the present mo ment of proceeding with this single measure. It could not be forgotten that the bon. member for Middlesex, the chairman of the committee which had recommended this and other measures of large importance for concluding the machinery of the reform act, had given notice of a bill having a similar object to the present. Besides this, nothing could be easier than to include all the details and provisions of this bill in,theregistraticrn bill -which had been introduced by hii noble friend the Secretary for the Home department. His (the Attorney-General's) only anxiety was to prevent the confusion which might arise from so much legislation on the same subject. One general act might comprise all these details, and aroving, as he did entirely, of the principle of this bill, he shoul d - not p oppose its second reading, in the hope that the hon. member for Hastings would postpone its-future progress until the other measures to which he had adverted were fully before the house. _ . Th 3 bill after a short discussion was read a second time and ordered tobe committed. The other orders were then proceeded with. On Mr. Ewart's moving the second reading of the prisoners' counsel bill, Mr. SHAW expressed a hope that the hon. member for Salford would be impartial in the exercise of his privilege. When the hon. member sat on theopposition benches be regularly stopped the house when it was proposing to commence new business ; he hoped that now, when the hon. member was seated on the ministerial benches, he would not abandon his former whole some practice. ( Hear, hear.) Mr. Ewart (after some discussion which was terminated by Mr. Brotherton's rising to propose the adjournment of the house) agreed to withdraw his motion. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and On the motion of Mr. Brotherton, the house adjourned at one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. The Bishopof CHESTER presented petitions from Tenterden and several other places, for the protection of the church. Lord BuouGHA sr moved for a return of the number` of crimi nals tried at the central criminal court, Old Bailey, since its establishment, distinguishing the cases tried before the judges of the superior courts from those tried by the city judges.—Or dered. . . . _ _ Lord FfiVERSHAM presented petitions from the owners and occupiers of land in Yorkshire, complaining of agricultural dis tress. The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from the clergy and magistrates of Ross (Ireland ) against the appropriation of church property to any but ecclesiastical purposes.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS:—TtivrisDAy. The Speaker took the chair at three o'clock. Lord PALMERSTON took his seat for the bothugh of Tiverton, and Mr. Sergeant Perrin on his re-election, consequent upon receiving the appointment of Attorney-General for Ireland. There was scarce any other business done except p►esenting petitions and forwarding some bills a stage. PROVISION FOR THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY OF IRELAND. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN withdrew his motion on this subject. HOLDING OF PARLIAAIENTS IN IRELAND. Mr. Bisit moved an address to his Majesty, praying him to hold his court and parliament occasionally in Ireland. Dr, BALDWYN seconded the motion. After some short observations from Mr. C. Pelham, Mr. Ruthven, and Dr. Baldwyn, an hon. member moved that the house be counted. The members present being less than forty, the house was adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY. Viscount MELVILLE presented a petition from Mr. Hope Johnstone, praying for a decision with reference to the Annan dale peerage. Lord BROUGHAM adverted to the proceedings which had already taken place on the claims to the Annandale peerage, and argued that some limitation ought to be laid down with re spect to such claims, otherwise they might go on to the end of time considering the cases of ne w claimants. Earl BROW NLOW presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in the Isle of A xholm, complaining of agri cultural distress, and praying for relief. Petitions for additional' church accommodation in Scotland were , presented by the Duke of Ri c h mon d, L or d Kinnoul, and the Earl of Gosfirrd. The Earl of GOSFORD presented a petition from the opera tive weavers of a manufacturing district of Scotland, praying for a chamber for the regulation of wages. Lord BriouG ris sr presented petitions from Barnsley, St. Mary's, Lambeth, the Boston Literary Institution, Froine Sel wood, the Forfar Mechanics' Institute, the city of Leicester, individuals residing in the city of London, and from various other bodies and places, praying for a repeal of the stamp duty on newspapers. Some of the petitions also prayed for a re duction of the excise duty on paper, and the noble and learned lord expressed his decided conviction that if one-half of that duty were taken off, the additional consumption of paper would cause as much money to flow into the Treasury as was now paid under the existing duty. The noble and learned lord also pre sented several petitions from Scotland, against any grant of the public 'money for additional church accommodation in that countryy and also a petition from Charles Bucke,.complaining of the great expense attending the transfer of real property. The noble and learned lord stated that he had many other peti tions to present, but he would take another opportunity for in troducing them.—Adjourned to Wednesday. HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY. The Speaker took the chair at three o'clock. LIVERPOOL. POLICE FULL. Mr. Ew•eßr presented a petition from certain inhabitants of Liverpool against this bill. He also presented a petition from the householders and rate-payers praying to be beard by counsel against the said bill. Mr. MORE O'FARRELL took the oaths and his seat. SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE METROPOLIS. Sir FRANcts BuieDETT moved the second reading of this bill, which, on a division, was lost by a majority of 74. e • CORK ELECTION. Mr. BARNERY reported from the county of Cork election committee, that Fergus O'Connor, Esq., was not duly elected to serve in parliament for the county of Cork, but that Richard Longfield, lsq. , the petitioner against the return, was duly elected, and that neither the petition nor the opposition thereto was frivolous or vexatious. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.-IRBLAND, Mr. SHAW asked the noble secretary for Ireland when the report of the commissioners of public Instruction in Ireland would be laid on the table ? Lord MORPErH replied, that he expected the report would be ready in the course of next week. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. s s s s s Sir R. PEET, asked the attorney-general whether it was his intention to bring forward in the present session any measure for the improvement of the jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, it was only very recently he had been informed that his ho . n. and learned friend (the late attorney-general) did not intend to persevere with' his bill on this subject. having learned the fact, the matter had been taken into consideration, and it was the intention of government to have a measure brought forward on the subject without delay. ADJOUItNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Lord J. Russell, it was ordered that the house, at its rising, do adjourn till Wednesday next. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. Lord JOHN RUSSELL in moving for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of municipal corporations in England and \Vales. entered into a long explanation of his proposed measure. Ilis mode of elucidating the subject was so exceed ingly obscure that we can scarcely collect from his speech the exact nature of the proposed alterations. We, therefore, ie. publish from the Courier (London) the following, it is said, offi. cial•corninuuication, embodying the noble lord's views on this subject : " HEADS OF A BILL TO PROVIDE FOR THE REGULATION OF MUNICIPAL CORPORATIoNs IN ENGLAND AND WALES. "The bill is entitled A bill to provide for the regulation of municipal corporations in England and Wales.' It recites, that divers bodies corporate at sundry times have been consti tuted within the cities, towns, and boroughs of England and Wales, to the intent that the same might for ever be and remain well and quietly governed; but that, partly by defects in the charters by which the said bodies corporate have been consti tuted, partly by neglect and abuse of the privileges by such charters granted and confirmed to the inhabitants of th e sa id cities, towns, and boroughs, and partly by change of circum stances since the said charters were granted, the said bodies corporate, for the most part, have not of long tune been and are not now useful and efficient instruments of local government;. and first it enacts the repeal of all acts, charters, and customs inconsistent with the bill. "The bill commences with the usual interpretation clause, defining the construction of certain terms. It then provides as follows: " I. That after the first election of counsellors the body cor porate shall take and bear the name of 'The mayor and bur gesses of" (city and borough) and be constituted a corpora tion. . . "2. That the boundaries of certain cities and boroughs, in certain sections of schedules A and B of the bill, shall be the boundaries settled by the parliamentary boundary act, 2 and 3 William IV., c. GI; and that the boundaries of certain other sections in the said schedules shall be settled by the King in council, determined by a commission. "3. That the municipal constituency shall be occupiers of the house, very many irulividuals had been prevented from availing themselves of that privilege in consequence of the old, but not on that account the more wise or advisable, custom, of being obliged on such occasions to appear in bag-wig and sword. (Loud and continued laughter.) , The honour done to the chair, he was convinced, mainly depended on the members who at tended; and he wished it to be Understood that all might pay their respects ru an ordinary evening dress, instead of a full court dress. (" Hear," and laughter.) In fact, it was not al ways convenient (loud laughter), and many people did not like to wear a full court dress. (Continued laughter.) Ile merely threw out the suggestion to the house: if it were adopted, he had . no doubt the Speaker's levees would be much more fully attended than formerly. (Hear, hear.) He hoped there would be a general concurrence in the view he took of this 'natter. The SPEAKER had only to say, in reference to what had fal len from the honourable member, that his duty and inclination were to consult in all things the convenience of the house. With respect to the usual custom of appearing in court dress at the Speaker's levee, he did not think he should be justified in departing from the practice which had heretofore prevailed among his predecessors in office. (Hear, hear.) However, as it was a matter in point of fact for the house to determine, if it • should appear to be the wish of a majority that there should be any change, it would be his greatest pride and pleasure to con form in all respects to their opinion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WARBURTON was not one of those who had not a court dress, (a laugh;) but still he highly approved of the suggestion of the honourable member for Miadlesex. There were many members who he believed were not so provided, (laughter,) and he must say he did not like the idea of appearing in any merry andiew sort of dress: it would be much more decorous and respectable to appear in an ordinary easy evening dress. He wished to know, therefore, whether any honourable member would be, received in that manner? The SPEAKER declined giving any opinion. It was a matter for the house to consider; and he did not think he was called on to interfere. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. F. Baring, Lord SA NDoN suggested that, as the Speaker could hardly be called on to give any opinion on such a subject, and as the house was so thin at that moment, the point should be deferred for consideration at some future period. The conversation then dropped, and the house adjourned. at twenty minutes past nine. LONDON LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—SATURDAY, Juste 6. The court took the crown paper this morning, but nothing oc curred of any general interest. Sir William Follett moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue commanding Mr. Lake, a ina gistrate of the borough of Falmouth, to sign and seal an• order for the payment of rates towards the repairs of the church at Falmouth. He. made the applicetion to carry into elfect the provisions of an act of parliament to prevent persons beihg sum moned before the ecclesiastical courts for the non-payment of rates where there was only a small sum due, and, directing that two justices of the peace should order them to be paid. It ap peared that at Falmouth there were six or seven Quakers; they had beep rated to the church rate, and bad refused, as they al ways did, from conscientious reasons, to pay. Application was made to the justices of the borough to enforce payment, but there were only two justices of that borough, and one of them, Mr. Lake; who-it:was necessary should sign the order, refused, to do so unless compelled by a court of law.—Rule granted. , EXPARTE FLETCHER.—Mr. Cresswell moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information, should not be filed against the proprietors of the Carlisle Journal, for a libel on a clergyman, the Rev. Walter Fletcher, vicar of Dalston, pub lished in that paper, professing to be an account of proceedings adopted by that gentleman to enforce payment of tithes. Mr. Fletcher, in his affidavit, stated that in 179,3 he was instituted to the vicarage of Dalston. In 1794 the waste lands of that parish were enclosed, and an allotment was made to the vicar, in lieu of tithes of turnips and potatoes, to which he always considered he was entitled, but he never enforced the payment: but he Mated to his parishioners that they must not take it for granted that he had not a right to it. Matters continued in this state until the passing of the act of 2d and 3d of Wm..IV., which prevented persons making any claim for tithes after a certain time. This gentleman then thought he was bound to make the claim, and he sent notice round to his parishioners, making the demand of tithes on turnips and . potatoes, at the same time in forming them that he had no desire to increase his own income, but that he made the claim for the interest of his successor, and he invited them to pay a small sum as an acknowledgment of the right. Some expectation was entertained that parliament would intdrfere to arrange the .numerous suits. A committee was formed in the parish, which met Mr. Fletcher, who agreed to stay all proceedings till the then nett session of parliament, to see what was done. Nothing, however; was done, and the parties were then called upon again to make up their minds. A great many paid a small sum as an acknowledgment, 'but some held out. Mr. Fletcher proposed that if any one or more chose to defend proceedings, and try the right, and it was de cided against them, all those who had paid should have the be nefit of that determination. A person of the"name of Farish still held out, and would not appear to a subpcena, nor take any step whatever. Mr. Fletcher, therefore, instructed his at torney to take the necessary steps, and an attachment was issued against him on the 11th of May, to compel hi= to answer the bill. On the evening of the Ilth of May, he was arrested by the sheriff,.and taken to the office of Mr. Fletcher's attorney, being accompanied by his brother. Mr. Farish asked what was the meaningof the arrest ? The attorney told him that it was the only mode that could be pursued, and recommended him to give bail, saying that he would be con tented with his brother as his bail. Farish objected to this, and said he would go to gaol, and accordingly was taken there. On the following Tuesday the attorney waited upon hitn, when he desired to know the amount of the costs, which were between £6 and £7, and he paid them, was liberated, and said he would go over and settle with Mr. Fletcher. On his going to Mr. Fletcher, that gentleman repeated what he had before said— " Pay me 25., and I will be content." He then paid the 25., and received a receipt for it, the tithes being actually of the value of £6. Farish then said, " You are in my debt 4s. for apples which you had in 1827." Mr. Fletcher said, although he did not recollect that, he would have no dispute about it, and he paid the 4s. The Carlisle Journal professed to give an ac count of this transaction. The article was headed " Gross oppression !" It went on to state, that on the sth of May, the Rev. Mr. Fletcher attended a tavern meeting, composed of per sons half of whom were turies, and the other in the Lowther in terest ; that he there delivered himself of a speech in favour of the church; that on May 11, he caused a respectable farmer to be seized and put in prison, to be the companion of felons and the dregs of society, for 2s. (this wasuntrue, because he was on the debtor's side) • that he remained in prison four days, when he paid the deman d, but here he was met by the engine of op pression, the legal expenses amounting to £7 17s. ; that it 'night be supposed the vicar wanted the 2s. to keep his children from starvation, but this was not the ease, as he was a pluralist, in possession of a large income—it showed how true was the summing up of Junius, that the malice of a priest was im placable;. that at the time he flung Farish into a dungeon Mr. Fletcher was in his debt in a much more considerable sum for apples, but he would have ,his pound of flesh—he would stand upon his bond. They (the Carlisle Journal) would not let the matter rest—they would let the people see what they were to expect from those who raised the cry of "No Popery!" Let the conservative club say by whom the church was in danger.— Rule granted. BAIL COURT. On Friday Sir F. Pollock moved for a rule to show cause why an attorney of this court should not refund the sum of £1,500 which had been paid to him by the applicant, under the follow ing circumstances:—Three years ago some proceedings were taken intim Ecclesiastical court, relative to a legacy of £3,000, left to the applicant, but who could not establish his claim with out the aid of the attorney, who was a witness to the will. The attorney refused to give it, unless the applicant would consent, in case of the legacy being paid, to give him one half, or £1,500. The applicant ultimately agreed, and granted the attorney three bills of exchange for the amount. The legacy was eventually paid, and so were the bills—the applicant receiving £1,500, and the attorney the same sum. Having been advised to de mand the restoration of the money, he employed a professional gentleman to call upon him on the subject. The gentleman did so, but had no sooner opened his business, than the attorney desired him to leave the house, as he knew nothing of the matter ho was talking about. Mr. Justice Coleridge requested the learned counsel to take a rule nisi. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MAY. The wreaths and garlands of May-day were but ill-furnished this year, for at the commencement of the month winter seem ed more inclined to prolong his stay than to give way to the longing expectancy of the holyday-keepingeommunity. There was storm, and rain, and hail, with cold frosts at night, which gave a severe check, to vegetation during the fi rs t wee k. Th en followed a change of wind from north-east to south and west, with moderate rains, and a favourable portion of sunshine oc casionally. The effects of this auspicious change were evi dently great upon vegetation generally, and the various pro ductions of the field made a most welcome and rapid start, so much so that the growth of grass both natural and artificial, i was so unusually quick that the surface of the land soon became sufficiently covered and shaded to prevent a drying and scorch ing sun from stopping the progress, and preventing a good swarth of grass and clover; these temperatq and timely rains were most beneficial to the extensive barns of the uplands, and not over copious for the moist and mellow vales. 'Die wheats, in general, are looking strong and vigorous. Barley and, oats also are healthy and full of growth, and on the cold stiff soils a much larger quantity has been sown to advantage from the friable state of the soil than could have been accomplished in a wet season. Beans and peas never looked better or promised more for an abundant produce; they are now undergoing .tlus. operation of the hoe, and, if we may venturia prediction from present appearances, the country may look forward not only to an - average, but an abundant crop of almost every article of farming produce. However bright and cheering these prospects , may be for the moment, they soon become clouded upon re flection, when the grower must see the little chance there is of his getting a better price for the once-boasted golden grain. The average price of wheat in one county in March, 1801, was at the enormous price of 187 s. Id. per quarter, and in this month the aggregate stands at 38 s. Ild. how stands the price of land, and outgoings in 'proportion ? Early turnips and Swedes are every where sowing, and there being plenty of moisture in the earth, the plant soon shows itself strong and promising. The season for this great and useful work of husbandry is going on most favourably, with the land in excellent condition. The flock farmers have been favoured with a satisfactory lambing season, and their ewes were never more prolific. A farmer in one of our first sheep counties gut nineteen lambs from seven ewes, all strong and healthy. Sheep-shearing is again come round, and, the sheep generally being in good order, they are looking forward this year for a good clip, with hut little hope of a better price. Still there is au improvement in the woollen trade, but little or none in price. JERUSALEM.—The Northern Bee, of St. Petersburgh, has the following extract of a letter from Jerusalem, addressed to the Archbishop of Moscow:—" We have pleasing intelligence to convey to you, my beloved brother. Ibrahim Pacha has given us leave to repair the damage done to our holy church by the late terrible earthquake, and has ordered the window of the church of the resurrection to be re-opened, which had been walled up since the time of the Egyptian Sultan Saladin, being a period of 643 years. By the increased light thus obtained, the sanctuary of Christ's tomb will be in - creased in sublimity." Mun out ON THE RIVER THAMES.—On Wednesday evening, at seven o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, coroner, and a respectable jury, at the Black Horse Tavern, High-street, Poplar, on the body of John Peter Oram, a sea. man, aged 42 years, belonging to the John Renwick, West In diaman, who was stabbed by Thomas Menzies, the third mate, on Tuesday evening, on the river, from the effect of which he died on the following morning. The coroner summed up the evidence and explained the law of the case, and the jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Thomas Menzies, who, by the advice of Mr. Flower, his solicitor, entered into no defence, arid he was forthwith committed to Newgate for trial. From the appearance of the orchards in the neighbourhood of Bridgewater, larger crops of apples are expected than have been known for several years past. Cider is now selling there for less than El per hogshead, JusE 9, 18:35 THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. Last'Four Nights of the COMIC PANTOMIME.

His Majesty's brig Briseis, which sailed in eetnPanY from •St. Thomas's with the Swallow packet, the latter having on board the Jamaica mail, conveyed for the first time to St. Thomas's by steam, arrived about ten days ago at Falmouth. The Swalloiv packet, h o wever, has not yet arrived. We learn that the Briseis brought a • few letters, but only one to a Jamaici house in this town. We understand that at the latest date the weather on the north side of Jamaica was unusually wet, whilst on the south side and west end it was quite the reverse- The negroes were quiet, but working very indifferently - The number of acres calculated upon as being in canes for the ensuing - erov, would not reach more than half th e quantity of previous years. By the ship Parker, Captain RistEN, which sailed Oa the 2d of May, we have papers from Demerara to the end of April. The Guiana Chronicle contains the fol- lowing very unsatisfactory article : " The disturbed and unpeaceful state of the colony still de mands one unceasing attention. Wherever 'we have beheld symptoms of an amended spirit diffusing itself amongst the la bouring population, we have been as anxious to record the pleasing intelligence, as we have been alert, when our duty re quired it, to proclaim the reverse—and only a short time ag° we indulged in the pleasing hope, that if the laws were allowed to take their course, and the magistrates were not improperly interfered with, peace, industry, and good order might airais o come amongst us, and crown with success the measure 0 1 emancipation. The continuance, however, or rather the in" crease of an unquiet and dissatisfied feeling amongst the If- - bourers, compels us, for the present, however reluctantly, to abandon these gratifying anticipations, and once more,with the sorrowing eye of regret, and the sigh of despair, to view the state of thazolony es it really it—not to indulge in hopes and • speculations of what we wish it to be. "At the present moment there are upwards of seventy apprenticed labourers in the colony gaol, exclusive of the im mense numbers which Mr. Kellock every evening sends to cow tinement from the Iluiniveld estate ; and, during the week last past, no less than fifty-one culprits have been committed there under sentences of varying punishments. Now, when we re— collect that the prisoners . sent to the colony gaol do not , form. one tithe-part of the number of commitments Made in both town and country districts—nay, that for one committed Co gaol twenty are otherwise and elsewhere punished,' we may fonts some idea of the number of disobedient, idle, and refractory / labourers in the colony ; and, in forming that opinion, we raaY likewise come to a just conclusion as to the real state of thy community, whether it be one of peace, or the reverse. "We all know the great loss of time and labour which are the conseqnences of bringing a negro up for pnnishwent before a magistrate—we may, therefore, calculate largely upon_the forbearance and pardon with which the majority of the offences; of apprenticed labourers are passed over. Adding this deli deration, however, to the number of gaol commitments, led W the still greater number which, we contend, are punished elee 4 where, it becomes really frightful to contemplate the amount of crime and bad conduct amongst the labourers, and the vast loss of labour which must necessarily be occasioned by pettish' ing the offenders. " It is vain, then, to delude the community; as some would der with assurances of improvement amongst the negroes, whilst 1 these evidences to the contrary exist to falsity spch eeser ti4/14 The colony is still, we assert it—not without a certainty of being contradicted, but with a full assurance that we cannot be contradicted in a spirit of truth—in a state far, far reinovea: from tranquillity, industry, and quiet." On Friday night Lord JOHN RUSSELL introduced his, bill of municipal reform to the House of Commons. We have read his lordship's tedious speech with the greatest attention, but it is to us altogether unintelligible. Ile states general principles in language so obscure that we defy any man to tell what he aims at, or what changes be contemplates. For this reason we have been compelled to omit his speech altogether, this being almost the only instance in which a sense of duty has imposed upon us so unpleasant a task. Lord JOHN is a minister of the crown, and, as such, whatever proceeds: from him must be interesting to our readers, and is entitled to the ut most courtesy at our bands. We regret, therefore, the: impracticability of making that intelligible which other wise would be highly instructive; and to substitute for the speech an abstract of „thc,bill lakes- • ;fgoisr 11 4 - I ° sllnTr' • .. evening paper. That will be found in another place- If that abstract be correctly drawn up, as it, appears to be, the corporation reform of Lord Jour; Ku- 88514 : • amounts to this : Ist, The exclusive rights and privr• leges of burgesses by inheritance or servitude are to be totally abrogated. 2d, The common council are to be • elected by the rate-payers only, and the council so elected are to elect the mayor. Every person who has resided in the borough, or within seven miles of it, for three years, and has paid the poor-rates during that period, is to have a vote for common councilmen. 3d, Towns having a population above 25,000 are to be divided into wards, so that every ward containing 25,000 inhabitants is to re turn from ten to fifteen common councilmen. 4th, The crown is to appoint the recorder, and the common coup - • cil are to have the curious privilege of granting licenses to publicans. There are and must be many minor details, but these, as far as we can understand the bill, are its leading enact .- ' ments. In short, it is a bill originating-with faction fOr factious purposes, which is founded in glaring injusti ce ' which aims at wholesale plunder, and, in the name of re form, is a downright fraud and imposition. It will be our duty to establish these premises, and, in " doing so we shall confine ourselves to the borough- of Liverpool. In the first place not a word is said in the bill-about the property belonging to corporations, about the respon sibility of partlts, or about the claims of creditors. At one dash of the pen the zelations of borrower and lender are changed, and the obligations to pay are transferred from one class of persons to another without consulting the many thousands of families deeply interested in the transfer. For the sake of illustration, let us assume that the cor- • poration of Liverpool have borrowed, and, therefore, ~ ~: 1 ''~ r I
