WALITNOHAId motor d Fawley, 11 Hamp-
shire, worth 1.2001. ; in Fawley there is the depen-
dent perpetual curacy of Hythe, value 16a a
Liar, and the ohapelry et Fabury. Before
W•Latmansies death it was understood
that, whim a vacancy occurred, the Bishop of
Winaittern would properly endow the sub-
ordinate cures ont of the solarium wealth of
the rectory. When, however, th.e living did *Dome
shop of WlN-
vacant, the Rev. Mr. Gibson (the Bi
camas's son-in-law) was presented to the benefice,
without any such arrangement having been accom-
plished ; and it is only, we are assured, after the ap-
plication of urgent "pressure from without" that a
paltry 1001. has been appropriated to Hythe, while
paltry 100 L has been appropriated to ilythe, while
Esbnry has been wholly neglected.
So again at &triton. When that besefloe, worth
1,2001. a year also, became vacant, Dr. SUMNER in-
ducted his son to it ; and, though the town of Peters-
field contains twpthirds of the population, the bishop
has allowed it to remain a chapelry dependent on the
village of Briton.
How,then,is it possible to have the least confidence
in what the Bishop of WINCIIRSTSIL may do at St.
Cross after Lord MILFORD is taken from a world
which has been so pefitable to him ?

the people, Mr.Dmersox would rather send away the
public creditor without payment, than diminish the
number of general officers, though we have two to
each regimen.
Mr. Gamow will not endow the Catholic priest-
hood ; he endowing colonial bishops, and he
u approves of cherch-rates initialed, granted
to the use of theestablished church." Mr. Denison
will not extend the suffrage until he feels perfectly
assured that the working dames would use ft advan-
tageously for themselves. How considerate! Prince
WIN DISCUORATZ and General WRANGEL are precisely
of the same opinion. They will never allow represen-
tative government to Prussians or Austrians, until
they feel convinced that Prussians and Austrians will
we it to their own advantage. Now, Women!
ORATE, and WRANGEL, and Deimos,
_know very
well that they will be convinced of any inch
thing, because it would be spinet the interests of
their party and against the political monopoly of their
class that they should believe it possible.
Mr. DENISON would not vote !or the ballot because,
be said, he was contented with the existing modes of
politicians deceiving the people, and he did not want
to add to them. This surely is not fair. The present
mode allows the aristocracy to deceive the people ;
supposing that the ballot did permit the middle class
in town and county to deceive the aristocracy, it
would be, after all, but •
the repaymeut of a debt long
due and overdue.
Mr. Denison would not hear of equal electoral dis-
tricts, because, forsooth, this equality would not last,
bat would in time turn to inequality. Mr. Gringos
has each a horror of inequality, that he would pre-
serve that which exists for fear of its recurring after
being removed. For this luminous reason he will
maintain Pomfret in the same electoral rights and im-
portance as Leeds.
Mr. DENISON would continue to pay the Duke of
MAELBOEOVOU for the services of his ancestor. As
if the family by the simple fact of its being en-
dowed with the power of hereditary legislation had
not always the faculty of commanding high employ
and salaries for their services, whether they *hose the
military, the diplomatic, or the official profession.
The humbug of pensions to such classes Mr. Demme
would staunchly support, although he 'sprained
fears that a penny a pound off the tea duty would
endanger the interest on savings banks deposit* and
the national debt!
The most amusing argument of all, however, was,
that to put a fair proportion of the burdens of the
country upon rent would in reality be taxing the
working classes. If you tax my estate, said Mr.
DENISON, in one hundred or two hundred pounds. I
will employ so many gardeners or farmers the Ws.
From this it would appear that Mr. DeNtoott and his
clue at present employ farmers and gardeners out
of mare oompaasion.
We always understood that landed proprietors let
their pound to farmers as the best mode of securing
an income from it; that they 'employed farming
labourers themselves to procure produce; and that
they hired gardeners and cultivated gardens in propor-
tion to the consumption of their establishments, in
tried, economic, and productive principles.
Now this, says Mr. DENISON, shall no longer be
the case, if you tax rent. We landed proprietors,
will cut off our noses to vex our faces. In
order to punish you working-classes we will cease
to employ you, and although thereby we diminish
our own profits, we shall at least have the satisfaction
of starving you. We wonder that Mr. BROOK or
"the gentleman in the white hat" did not get up, and
tell Mr. DEN hos that, as landed proprietor, be had
no right to do any such thing. The land of a country
was given for the nourishment of its population, gives
in full property to its owners, in order that they
might combine their own and the people's interest,
by raising food, and making the beet use of the
fertility of the soil. But if it became of a
sadden the whim or the threat of all the
landed proprietors of England to stop cultiva-
tion, in order to turn the people out of employ, to
starve them, or reduce them to workhouse fare—for
this is precisely the threat of Mr. Denson—then the
people of Englsod would here something to my to
the landed proprietors respecting. their duties and the
people's rights, which, till such time and events come,
were better not mooted. We only allude to them to
warn Mr. Denten* and his party whither such hints
and arguments had. He may depend upon it that
they do more to engender revolutionary and subvert
rave thoupota than any plan ever broached by Louts
BLANC Or HOBERT OWEN. Plain sense, liberalism, and
fairness in treating such questions will go further in
the ;preservation of peace and order than the twenty
millions which Mr. Dentsou would expend on a mi-
litary force, which is to uphold him in uttering such
threats as these to the industrious classes of England.

CAN it be that his Reverence th. Earl of Gurt.Foll)
has lately had some twinges of oonseience? Or is it
to his friends feeling for him that shame to which he
himself appears impervious, that we are indebted for ,
a long array of figures in a Hampshire paper as to the
receipts and expenditure of the Hospital of St. Cross,
whereof his Revenues is Muter?
Possibly, very possibly, the correspondents of the
naughty Repress have, as alleged, exaggerated
the prate of the Mastership of that very useless in-
stitution, which, with means to support a university
at Winchester, maintains thirteen paupers!
But obviously, very obviously, the financial
statement of the hospital, put forth by
the Earl's friends, is more deceptive than the
leakiest accounts of the most sagacious railway
kissed to uneasy shareholders.
From this statement it seems that the annual rents
of the hospital, ma an avenge, from 1808 to 1836,
were 1,0681.; and that the disbursements for the latter
year were 9141., leaving a balance of 1741. a year pay-
able on that account to the Muter. During the same
of time the amount of floes assessed on the
of hospital property is stated at 51,6381. Of
these fines the Master, it is alleged, is entitled
only to about two-thirds; so that from this source the
Earl of GUILFORD, in the twenty-eight years
that elapsed between 1808 and 1838, became entitled
to the very handsome sum of 34,3721. Thirteen years
have paned sines 1836 ; and, calculating the receipts
in them of the fines at the same rate as in the preced-
ing period, their amount during those thirteen years
will, in round numbers, be 18,0001. ; of which two-
thirds would yield Lord GUILFORD 12,0001. That
sum added to the previous 34,3721., would put his
Lordship in prensenon of 46,3721. from fines ; and if
to it we add the annual profits he has derived during
' forty-one years from the rents as before stated, which
at the rate of 1741. a year will make 7,1341., the
re-
ceipts of his Reverence the Earl of GUILFORD from
St. Cross will, on the allowing of his own financiers,

But this is on their own showing ; and we have
small faith in their figures. Why have they brought
the receipts of fines down to 1836 only P Is it because
subsequently to that year, as our correspondents have
alleged, the fines received have been much greater
than they were during the period for which we are
thus eagerly furnished with figures? This, however,
is a question between our correspondents and the earl'.
financiers. But that a man should in forty years re-
ceive even 63,6064 from a public charity, for doing
literally, absolutely nothing, is, in our estimation, an
outrage on society, a crime against humanity; which
decency alone ought to prevent the repetition of.
So, in the name of the public, and on behalf of de-
cency, we inquire of the Bishop of Winamerza
what scheme he has devised to prevent the conti-
nuance, after Lord GUILFORD'. demise, of this
sandal at St. Cross P It is time Dr. Strutiss should
be thinking about some plan for the better and more
sinful employment of its revenues, than the mainte-
nance of thirteen paupers and the enrichment of a
prelate's son. And this inquiry is the more premed
on Dr. fiumxim's attention because the general ex-
pectation of his diocese is, that on the death of
Lord GUILFORD, he will follow the bad example set
him by Dr. Norma. Nor can it be said that such
apprehensions are unreasonable when it is seen that
nepotism does still prevail in the diocese; and that
church extension, however strongly recommended to

We have refrained from what is called " taking
up " the claims of the Spanish bondholders, from the
conviction that we could neither say nor recommend
anything for the moment that would be practically of
use to their interests. As long as NARVAPZ, and Mot,
and CHRISTINA, and the gang of mickrado locusts, pos-
sessed power in the Peninsula, we were quite con.
winced that no claim of right or of gratitude, that
mold be put forward by British subjecte, would
he for a moment listened to. And as to the British
government raising its voice, these could be as little
ass ia that—when it could not protect its own as-
hemendor from insult; whilst any harsh or COUSIN
measure would have been considered as an act el'
vengeance or political interference.
Tilers are signs, however, of a dispersal of the
Spanish moderado locusts. CABRERA has been gain-
ing victories, and, instead of marching to fight him,
the Queen's generals have been endeavouring to
bribe and to buy him. Amongst fashionable move.
ants announced, we perceive that of the wife and
fondly of NARTATZ from Madrid to Paris. And the
most pregnant sign of all, the Times deserts its pro-
tip! on the eve of his fall, and, as usual, devotes him
to the infernal gods. In May last the Times thought
NARVAEZ one of the ablest chiefs opposed to revolu-
tion, the very man to be et the head of a strong
government, at a time when strong governments were 1,
required • and it taunted Lord PALMERSTON with not
having sided with NARVAEZ and supported his mili-
tary government, instead of showing sympathy for the
Spanish liberals or progresistes, which the Times
declared to be the " weakest and most contemptible
party in Spain."
Now, however, the Times turns from its old friends,
NARVA!Z and the moderadoes, whom it so long be.
lauded, and we find in its columns of yesterday the
following description of them :
Tn say nothing of the Queen Mother, who has exploded
the Spanish peninsula for her private ends, there is General
Servers, President of the Council, who leaded at Valencia
in 1813 with scarcely the price of his dinner in his pocket.
Common report says now of him, that ha is worth something
like a quarter of a million of money, besides nomogram an
enormous game ity of land in the shape of conflicted church
property. Moo, the Finance Minister, and Sartorial', the
Hume Minister, are In a similar, or perhaps even in • more
favourable position. Their poverty was deep ss the poverty
of Nana. a, and their wealth is now enormous as his wealth.
We have not a word to add on the subject of these
contradictions—they speak for themselves. The
moderado house is falling, and the rat runs out
of it as fast as it can, and will be burrowing ander
the next Spanish ministry or dynasty as industriously
as ever.
Whether there is or will be reason to congratulate
Spain upon these coming cheers, it will be time
enough to pronounee hereafter. If the Cubits and
the progresistas agree,— if MOMTEMOLIN hold his
promises, and the liberals be not duped,—good may
come of the ensuing revolution. But as no legitimist
prince ever yet did keep his promisee, and as Spanish
liberals have always been doomed either to be their
own dupe, or the dupes of others, we must postpone
anything like satisfaction or congratulation.
Nay, we will go further--and say, that the Spanish
bondholders have nothing to hope from any Spanish
dynasty, Cortes, or political party, unless
the British government take their cause in hand.
This we think Lord FALMERSTON should do. And
it should be signified to this, and to all Spanish go-
vernments, that it was the determination of the
British government at length to enforce the settle-
ment of this debt. The enforcement should not bo
made at any critical moment, when it might be
semetaned Into political interference, with a wish
es embarrass this party or bring in that. Mat
It should be impressed on the mind of Spanish states-
men that England would intervene, and if necessary,
send ships before Cadis and Barcelona, to enforce
payment of the Spanish debt to England. The
Americans would do this in a trice, and we should
do it, be it CHRISTINA, ISABELLA, or MONTEMOLIN
that reigns. And, at all events, the Spanish govern-
ment should be informed that the English
court would never consent to renew friendly
relations with that of Madrid, until ample redress was
made for the insolence of BOTOMATOR ; and, at the
same time, amends made to English creditors of
Spain for the infamous manner in which they
have bees treated. England was not the first to
break with Spain, or to use the language of rudeness
and unfriendliness. The Spanish court and govern-
ment entered into that vein most wantonly. Both
should be read in return a severe, a serious, and a
salutary lemon. There is no use in sympathies
or sentiments, intrigues or negotiations. England
should require, end should enforce English claims,
without faiths; periphrasis, courtesy, or compliment.
