dale, and the Bishop of Lincoln, may adjust their
•respective duties, interests, and pretensions, remains
yet'to he discovered. But it is clear that Govern-
ment has not only succeeded in getting the whole
question into their own hands, but•in making it a
source of considerable ?atronag also. It is thus,
and we might run through forty instances more to
prove it, that their places have been purchased, and
are now held upon a tenure, on which we sincerely
hope that few besides -thanselves would consent to
hold them. That they have, by one means or ano-
ther, brought to a close a session which promis:td
VCPy different results, anti retired to their bed of
roses in the flail enjoyment-Y: all the honours which
against the power anti influence of Ministers; we
have-compelled them to adopt many from their op-
ponents, and measures, we will venture to say, of
the very first and vital importance, and we have
escaped some evils. Had 'Parliament sat a few
weeks longer, we are not sure but another trial of
Gagging Bills, Suspension Acts, and Indemnities,
might not have been had recourse to. If Ministers
I .bad been.not still sot~' from the friendly grasp -el
the band of Mr. Oliver, and if Mr. Canning had not
remembered the wretched Ogden, the meetings of
'Stockport, and l.eeds, and other places, might again
have become tco treasonable to be left to the sole
care of the British Constitution. Lastly, we have
punished and thrown open u few rotten and corrupt
boroughs. This is but one step, it will be said, but
whilst it keeps alive the spirit, and renders even an
imperfect good, we are not disposed to overlook it,
and we think it may, in some degree, be useful
towards a more general and extended rational Re-
form.

An official circular, .which we have given in
another part of our journal, contains the regulations
to be observed by 'those who emigrate from this
country to the new colony of the Cape of Good
Hope. It will lie recollected, that 50,0001. were
granted by the House of Commons, on the motion
of the:.Chaseellor of the Exchequer, for encouraging
emigration. The money grunted is to be applied
excitingly to the benefit of those who will angage
to carry out at least .ten able-bodied individuals
above the age of 18, with or without &millet', the
•{iovernment reserving .to themselves the right of
selection. Each person so engaging is to deposit
101. for every family so taken out ; but the family
is novro coneist of more than a man, his wife, and
ta•o children, under the a<,•e of 14: all ebildren.aboee
that age, and under 18, are to lee paid for at the
rate of .51. a head, and 51. for every two children un-
der 14. In consideration of this deposit, .s passage
and provisions during.the voyage will be provided
by Government. On landing, one third of the
advance money will be.returned, and 14)0 acrts of
land granted, on acquit rent, not exceeding; 21., to.
be remitted for ten years, to every suds peram an
family whom he takes out. One third more will be
paid when the settlers are actually fixed •in their
allotments, and the remainder three months after-
wards.

If 100 families emigrate -togetlier, and apply for
permission to take with them a minister of their
own persuasion, Government undertakes to give a
salary to such minister, if approved of by the Secre-
tary of State.
