NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Important events of • domestic nature have
since our last been by no means numerous. The
fact that • week has passed over without adding
its usual quota of murders, ii In Itself a matter
for congratttlation ; but the state of the menu-
finAtiring districts of Lancashire and Cheshire
is, iire regret to learq, becoming every day
more serious. I)iatlafactlos every where ap-
TEsh I°hp...tree:ll% t3ll°Cak the
toitertinvonea:
'ons of a serious character. In Preston
there have been two or three outbreaks within
the last few days, and in other towns meetings
have been held of a not less noisy and turbulent
description. It is now evident that not • day
, ghoold be hopt in deriding some means, not only
how the cotton operatited are to be fed, but how
they are to be employed.
Legislature, during the past week, has
not been inactive. Hon members, as if
conscious of having wasted much of the precious
time of the Session, have now set to work in
right earnest, and measure after measure is being
passed with a rapidity that cannot fail to leave
some miegivinge as to their mature consideration.
On Monday night Sir Utorge Grey moved the
imoond reading of the Prison Ministers Bill,
*bid), after • stiff debate, was carried by a
majority of 152 to 122. The object of this Bill
is evidently to pander to the Roman Catholic
priesthood, who desire not only to have ad-
mission to English prisons, but to be in the re-
ceipt of State pay. They complain that Insh
Catholics in .ftglish gaols are singularly in-
different to the ministrations of their 'wetly
fathers, and therefore they desire to be in a posi-
tion to ilernaad admission to them, whether
the culprits desire their offices or not.
Mr. H. C. Langton, in a calm, forcible.
and sensibi• speech, moved that the Bill be read
that day six months ; but both Mr. Henley and I
Mr. Disraeli were against him, and the Roman
Catholic priests obtained • victory over the
clergy of our National Church. The privilege,
theft...inn, of pay and admission to English prisons
tor religions teaching will in future be enjoyed
alike by Churchmen and Baptista. By and by I
we shall' find Catholic priests, where they can I
gather together a flock, asking that the parish I
church shall be set apart daring certain periods
of the week for their own especial use. Only
let them get in the thin edge of the wedge, and
depend on it they will find out • way to drive
it home.

On Thursday night, there were animated debates
in the Lords and Commons on the proceedings
of Admiral Wilkes and other Yankee com-
manders in West Indian waters. In the Upper
House the Marq,uis of Cleanriearde, in an
impassioned speech, called attention to the
unjustifiable acts which have recently been com-
mitted against the commercial Interests of this
country. Although the ministerioj speakers
deprecated violent language, Earl Rubll con-
fessed that Mr. Adams's conduct in grant-
ing permits was most unwarrantable ; and
he expressed his intention to address
a dispatch to the United States Government on
the whole question by Satueday's maiL In the
Lower House, although opinion was, of course,
divided, the debate was of a atikrnore decided
clisr. icier. The speech ot Mr. Roebuck, bold
and uncompromising as it was, reflected the
views of a large section of the public. The fiery
member for Sheffield was followed by Mr.
Bootjack, Mr. Malan', and Lord R Cecil in the
same strain, and Lord Palmerston pronounced
the subject one of much gravity, adding that the
whole matter was under careful consideration.
Indeed, as the Times observes, " it has been
proved by the clearest evidence, and is not con-
tradicted, that at least three British vowels have
been seised while trading between neutral ports ;
that one, which was actually captured in British
waters 0002 b thonthsaincs, has never been restored,
and, In spite of rechunstions, still remains in the
hand of the captors; that another, the Dolphin,
trading between Liverpool and Nassau, was not
only captured but her crew taken out, and con-
trary to humanity as well as international
usage, turned ashore destitute on the foreign
island of St. Thomas. The case of the Peterholf
is scarcely lees indefensible.
