The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in wing the soma
steadied of this bill, said that Ike bill Ing oomo
op from the Commoas, where it had passed through with-
out opposition, and its object was to facilitate the sale of
such advowsoas as were in the heads of large mashers of
lay owners, and the presentation to which being gotheally
by popular eleedon, occasioned wenn which were a scandal
' to the church and an outrage upon good order. As showing
the nature of the evil, the noble lord read • letter desaib-
fag a recent election to one of these advowsons. It appeared
that every resident in the pariah, whether householder or
alt, bad the right of voting ; that the election lasted Svo
days and 123 electors voted, the costs to the unsuccessful
, esadidate being 1,80 W., and to the successful candidate 6,000 t.
The letter also stated that during the whole period of this
election the public-houses were kept open by the rival can-
,' didatee or their friends, that drunkenness to a fearful extent
prevailed, sad that the moral effect on the parish was as bad
as bad Gould be. Simian scenes were enacted at the pro-
' vitae election is 1813, and as the value of the living was
inertheing, they would uo doubt be repeated when another
money occurred. Some time ago one of thee. el afar
tosk plate in • metropolitan parish, vie., ClarkeowsU, and
he (the Earl of Shaftesbury) was almost afraid to repeat
what took place ow that occasion. Ribald jokes and indecent
and blasphemous expressions were banded about by the
supporters of the adverse candidates, and scene. occurred
which wens a disgrace to the pariah and to the church. Tito
total number of these livings was about 150, the income of
the majority being under 1601. For at least 100 of
them there were no parsonage-houses, and as the
livings were much too small to bear the ex-
pense of a private dee in each separate instance,
it was permed to deal with the whole by a public act. The
bill generally provided that the owners of thee* livings, or
those to whom the right of election was mod, should meet
and determine by • majority whether or act the sideman
should be sold ; that if sold, it should be absolutely vested
is trustees, and the money appropriated in paying the mete
ideals,
_in providing a withers house where no such ac-
commodation existed, or repairing the petioles!' if dilapi-
dated, in raising the value of the living to 1501. a year, la
providing for the maintenance of the at ablisoment of the
church, to the erection of schools, and Increasing the amount
of eburchathematodation io the parish.

The bill was road a wooed tinii.

MONUMENT AT SCUTARI.
The Earl of HARRINGTON salted : let. Oa whose
authority was the Scutari monument undertaken?
2nd. Who selected Baron Marorhetti to undertake the
work? 3rd. From what fund was the payment to be made?
4th. Why was the work not sohj,cted to public cooped-
tine, ao that the sculptors of Busload, France, Italy, and
Germany might have sent in models, and so obelisk have
bees produced that would have immortalised our warriors
sad the sculptor for ages to come He added that foe
manaments of this description, commemoration the boomers
of • satins, and therefore Cense of high historical interest,
first-nth talent should be employed. Now, the person
chosen to oonettuot this monomers.. was Baron Marochetti,
who was famous fcr his massive equestrian statues., awl
also a repeatable sae. Bat he did sot hold
• foremost pleas in art, each as Gibson for
imbrue, and the specimen of work which he
had new produced was very defective is its
proportions, the bees or pedestal bong as high as the super-
structure. There was on. thing very remarkable about tba
Scutari monument It was surrounded by four weeping
Angela, who were so pined that they could mot stand with-
oat treading on their wing!, which went considerably below
their feet. Their lordships all Loom what the Greek aide
had said of the Minerva of the Parthenon, that she mould
not stand up without thrusting her head through the roof.
Now Baron Msrochetti was in a similar scrape. for his ea-
gels could set stand without being tripped up by their own
wings. The sculptors of this country complained that na-
da, favour had procured the selection of Baron Mutschetti
for this work, and on their behalf he asked this question.
Lord PANMURE dented that the monument alluded to
partook of • historic.' character, being purely a tribute to
the memory of the gallant men who bad fallen in the war.
In erecting it government bad only followed the public
wish, for the loads bad been vot-d bythe noose of Com-
mons, and in selecting Baron Muothetti they bad
been guided by his previous reputetion. The foremost
artists of this country hod nothing to complain of, as they
bad over sad over gala declined to compete for public
wake. He (Lord Pansure) beloved that Baron Maro-
abetti's work would, when erected on the spot intended, be
a romplets sucesee. Neither was it fair to treat him as site. .
Meths r • foreigner, seeing the number of years he had
been settled in this country; nor c ,uld the work be looked
epos ea strictly au English national work. seeing that the
monument was iatesded to commemorate the French sad
Italians who bad fallen in the war as w,ll as the English.
He (Lord Penman) took upon himself the responsibility of
Bum Marochetti's appointment, and felt sore that be would
produce a work of which the nation would approve.
Their lordships adjourned at seven o'clock.

Mr. J. EWART w7el7dtoaakthetiocretary of State for
the Colonies, when the geological eeeee 7, now understc od

commute* in 'emelt..

Mr. LABOUCHERE said • wish h3d been expressed on
the part of the West India Islands that the government
should select some scientific person in whom oonfidence could
be pissed, to survey the mineral resources of those islands.
The government expreued their willingness to provide snob
a person, and to pay his sehry, ptov.ded tke co!onies would
defray hG expenses while he w.. engaged 10 making the
survey, 'defier, that the order in •hich the islands would be
taken would depend urn the receipt of the replies con.
'Barrie, in the plan of the government. Accordingly, a
person for the permute bed Pen app.toted upon the
recommendation of Bar R. Murchison, and, as the first
Wand that had sent in its assent was Trinidad, it had been
taken first, and Junaiea would time neat. Diesitions ad
