to inquire_ into the allegations in the petitions
presented from Wigan, relative to the abduction of
certain voters. The motion was resisted on the ground
that the subject had been investigated in a court of
law. After a short debate the decision was against
Mr. EWART, 36 voting for his motion and 81
against it.

Mr. WARD moved a series of resolutions touching
colonization and the appropriation of waste lands in all
the countries of the South Sea which England claims
the government of, which is that the land should be
sold, and the proceeds of the sales employed in convey-
ing labourers from England across the ocean. This
is a favourite scheme of a_ large number of amateur
politician. The mot:on elicited a great deal of infor-
mation on the subject of our colonies, that bring a fa-

In 1807 tl e Church raised the No Popery cry to
keep, the Catholics out of Parliament, and broke
the Ministry. It tfl'actually attained its object.
In 1828 it excited itself to keep the Test Act on
the Statute Book, and thengh it had all the aid
%.,htel, the Tories could give it, the Church was
defeated. In 1829 it again raised the No Popery
cry, and found many bull-headed champions in
Parliament, but in spite of its utmost efforts the
Catholics +acre emancipated. On the ciccaeoon of
reforming the Parliament, of reforinin the Copra-
tions of ngland, of cutting down the Church ill
Ireland, of attempting to reform. the Corporations
there—the Church was not idle, .and used all the
influence it possessed to resist all these measures,
!'ut were always the losing party. At present
the question agitated, so far as the Church is
concerned, is the education of the people,
aid we will not disguise the matter, we
didain the fudge and blarney used by some of our
I)beral Contemporaries, we adopt the Tory view.
and proclaim that the point really at issue is. whe•
ther or not the eduratioo of the people, over which
the Church has hitherto had an undisputed heal
sway, shall he removed from under its control. To
preserve that control the Church has again raised
die No Popery cry. It ha.; put fen th all its
trene.th ; it has used all its arts, vile and not vile.
For that all the Oxford-nourished bigots relit
;tround her, and for that all the Tories muster their
tvhole strength, and Church and faction are united
79 turn out the Whigs, and limit the education of
he people to the Church Catechism.
Ths brief sketch of the downward progress of
the Church is instructive. In 1807 it was powerful
eneueli to break up the Ministry on the question
of removing some of the fetters from the Ca-
ttolics. Lt 1839 it struggles, and as yet
s defeated, to preserve a power which is the soul of
all its greatness. It will be starved out of existence.
like that far more useful body of men, the hand-
oom weavers, whenever the people receive educa-
Con free from its control. In 1807, - therefore,
it
contended for a mrre privilege, for the wanton ex-
ercise of an odious power ; and, in 1839, it has to
contend for the very principle of its existence.
But although this marked chmette and decay has
•aken place, the Church still retains all the vast re-
venues which it possessed in 1807. Nay, its re-
sources have increased with the wealth of the coun-
try, anti the riches of the priests, who preach
contentment under poverty to other men,
:ire swelled by the law which starves
their congregations. The Bishops, who con-
tributed to make the Corn-laws, are great land-
owners, and the value of the tithes throughout the
country is augmented by the tax on the people::bread. The priests, therefore, have increased their
weahh since 1807. Moreover, the pseudo piety of
he Tory Ministers, paving their own way to
ileaven ley plundering the people, bestowed on the
Church an additional capital of 1,500,000/. It has
been roused into activity, too, by the exertions of the
Dissenters, and has both mended its character and
stirred up the zeal of its votaries to contribute to its
success. It has raised large sums from voluntary
contributions. With augmented wealth, and with a
much improved reputation, the result is, that the
Church, so arrogantly triumphant over justice in
1807, has now to fight for its own future existence.
Such a change ought not to be without its
eff...cts on the minds of statesmen. The gradual,
succct,sive, and continuous decay of the political
power of the Church, caused by no loss of wealth
and ley no sudden deterioration of character, is a
proof that the change in the mind of the commu-
n'tv, which is the source of the decay of the
Is no transient or capricious sentiment. in
proportion as the pretensions of the Clint ch
have been discussed, just in proportion as a
koowledge of its character and its works has
dawned on the inquiring people, so has been—its
decay. Men* weigh it in its own balance,
and find it greatly wanting. E very time- it
has provoked examination by its arrogant pro-
ceedinp,s, it has sunk in the public con-iideratimi.
At first it successfully struggled to maintain an
outrageous political oppression ; now its doe:trifles,
its discipline, its utility, its very existence tts a
State Church are called in question, and the more
itis adeocates agitate its pretensions in Patliament,
claiming for it, and denying to- others, divine. at-
tribthes, asserting that it receives the favour of the
Ntate because it is the sole depository of truth, the
more unfounded and absurd they appear. Such
has been, and such will he the progress. The exi.st-
cnce of the State Church has no warrant in r.di-
gion, nor from political experience. It perverts
faith, and promotes cruel persecutions. It fosters
ignorance, and encourages vice. It is impossible
that it should stand the test of continued exami-
nation. Now, as it is the especial business of
statesmen to lock to the future—for laws have
nothing to do with the past—as this decay
of the power of the Church proceeds from a perma-
nent disposition of the public mind, - and as it
must and will go on as knowledge increases, we
think those statesmen who are continually thwarted
and attacked by the Church, neglect both their
interest and their dirty to the country, by continu-
ally complimenting, as the Whigs do, this mischie-
vous anti decaying institution nand by not taking at
once, as they ought to do from the vantage ground
of experience, a more forward view, and declaring
open and irreconcilable hostility to the men Who
see in religion only a. means to attain a pecuniary
gain or a party advantage.

The Minister of Commerce has given orders that
all vessels coming horn (I-red,: ports with clean lAN
of health shall henceforth be subjected only to the

sels arriving at ports in the ocean or the Channel,

The trial of the prisoners of the 12th of May,

Certain members of the Canadian " family com-
pact," with Mr. Attorney-General HAGGERNIAN
at their head, have thought proper to publish, in
the name of the House of Assembly of -Upper
Canada, a Report drawn up by that learned, place-
loving, and notoriety-seeking gentleman, which is
intended " to correct the errors, mis-statements,
and .omissions" in the admirable document pre-
sented hy Lord DURHAM to her MAJESTY. This
Report of the " family compact" gentlemen, is
the subject of a very able review in the Toronto
Examiner, a-copy of which reeched us with the
United States' journals rsterday, but for which
we cannot make room in the present crowded state
of our columns. The Reviewer does not leave the
Attorney-Gemral and his friends a leg to stand
upon. He proves that, with the exception of a
few tr:fling inaccuracies, which in no respect affect
the soundness of Lord DURHAM'S opiiiiOns and
conclusions, the Report of the Noble Earl is not
only sohstantially correct, hut that no doctunent
-tt as " ever promulgated in 11-iiish America that
gave such genet al satisfaction." Mr. NAGGER-

any way represent the sentiments of the people of Upper
Canada. We tru,t it will be borne in mind, that the pre-
sent members of the As!embly wcr9 in some cases elected

Government influence. If her Majesty's Government be
I not convinced by the numerable arguments of Lord Dur-
ham, supported by the Nova Scotia delegates, by the
approbation of the Canadian press, and by the result of
the elections for Grenville and Yolk riding, let tilt m take
the proper means to ascertain the wishes of the people.
Let them renal S George Arthur, and send a firm and

these steps they will ascertain the. real wishes of the

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY).

Rumours of changes in the French Ministry,
and conflicting accounts of onward and retrograde
marches of the Turkish army on the confines of
Syria-, principally occupy the columns of the Paris
Journals of Monday. None of them are, however,
worthy of serious attention. Had the report pub-
lished by the Messager of Sunday night, to the
effect that the Syrians had declared for the Turks,
and been supplied with arms by HAFIZ PACHA,
been correct, the Moniteur of Monday, or the
Journal des Debuts would have confirmed it ;
instead of which, neither of them have a syllab!e
on the subject. On the contrary, it is posi-
tively affirmed in a letter from Constantinople
of the 29th ultimo, that NOURRI EFFENDI,
ad interim Minister of Foreign Affairs, had
informed the French Ambassador officially that
HAFIz PACHA had received the commands of
the Porte to retire from Syria. This intellige%ce
receives partial confirmation from a letter from
Alexandria, dated the 27th ult., in which it is as-
serted that the Turkish Commander-in-chi 4 had
made a retrograde movement which the Egyptians
feigned was the consequence of desertions, and a
fear of the enemy. The fact, however, is, that
no really impartial account reaches this country
no statement can be entirely credited. The letters
from Constantinople are all written by partizaos of
the Porte, or thorough-paced admirers of the
policy of MAUMOUD, and those from Alex-
andria and Cairo are dictated by worshippers
of the genius of MEHEMET ALI. They are told
what the respective Governments wish them to
hear, and nothing more, and of such communica-
tions are their correspondence the vehicles. Hence
it is that almost all the accounts from Constaoti-
nople and Alexandria of the strength and discipline
of the two armies arc directly at variance.
The whole of the scholers of the Polytechnic
School imprisoned in the Abbave, have been re-
leased, and ordered to resume their studies. After
being subjected to the ignominy of a month's incar-
ceration on no ascertained charge, they arc now dis-
missed without trial, henceforth to rank among sus-
pected but unconvicted traitors I . This is a curious
mode of forming graduates for high rank in the
army.

The Foreign Exchange yesterday somewhdt improved
The exportation of the prcciuua metals during the pa:t
week from tha'part of Loadon kis not been extensive, and

The Sleek cites sundry rumours current in Paris
of diplomatic changes contemplated by Marshal
SOULT, which, if made, will be more profitable to
the relations of the Minister than to France. How
he may best feather his own nest is the chief study
of too many of the members composing the French
Ministry. " Can it be true," asks the Siecie,
that in the absence of the power of undertaking
or conceiving anything for the country, Marshal
Souvr is thinking of the means of rendering his
Ministry profitable to his family ? We have heard
of .cettain arrange:news which would be very in-
genious, for a single diplomatic change would pro-
vide fur three of 11;s near relations. It has been
stated to us, and vouched for as authentic, that
:\larshal SOULT will recal the French Am'nissador,
the Duke de FezENSAC, from Spain, and replace
him by M. DE RUMIGNY, the Ambassador at
Turin. So far there is nothing to censure. The
Embassy of Twin becoming vacant, it will begiven,
it is said, to M. CHA ALES DE MORNAY, \\IL) is
connected with Marshal SOULT by marriage ; M.
II COURT is to replace M. CHARLES DE
MORNAY in Sweden ; and a relative of the latter,
Marquis D'AYRAcuEs, the husband of Mtille.
Mutter., is to go to Carlsrubc, to lid the post
which M. DE BACOUNT is to•vacate. And this,
it is said, is not all. Admiral RousslN, being to
take the command of the naval forces in the Levant,
there must he a new Ambassador at Constantino-
ple, capable, by his intelligence, and the iollucnce
of his reputation, of directing the immense interests
of Fr:nice iu the East. Marshal SOULT, con-
ceiving nothilw to be greater or more influential
this han What bdongs to himself, has na,urally fixed Choice upon his son, the Marquis of DAL-
MATIA."
A deputation of beet-root sugar manufacturers
presented an address to- the KING on Saturday,
in which they represented that the Home
Sugar Duty Bill had already destroyed one hun-
dred and sixty manufacturing establishments,
and that without the law was speedily amended
they would all be ruined. His MAJESTY ex-
pressed great sorrow when the Address was read,
and declared that he deemed the protection of the
beet-root growers as essential to the future inde-
pendence of France, as there was no dependence to
be placed on the permanent retention of colonies.
o.ders have been received at Brest for the fitting
out of three fiigates, the Atalante, Magicienne, am'

it would meet the wishes of our faithful States.

The latest accounts from Madrid are of the 17th
instant. On the 16th the trial of M. ALONZO.
one of the responsible editors of the Guirigay
newspaper, for a libel upon the Government, as wed
as for refusing to obey a Royal Ordinance for regu-
lating the censorship of the Press, was brought
before a jury.. The Court and all the avenues
leading to it were crowded with the most anxious
spectators. M. Ar.oNzo conducted his own de-
fence, and his address to the Jury occupied four
hours in the delivery. On th:? part of the Ministry
the prosecution was conducted in a violent and even
rancorous spirit ; but to the no sma i delight of the
crowd witl,i ► and. without the Court, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of acquittal. The cheering was
vociferous, and it was observed that several of the
most LitingiliShed situ.' us took a part ill it. This
augurs well for the independence of Spanish Juries.
From the theatre of war, or rather of skirmishes,

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

TIMES.—A notion has prevailed in the City to day,
that in consequence of the new clause brought into the
Usury Bill, discussed last night in the House of Lords,
the Bank may soon resume their advances on Exchequer
bills and other securities, placed under interdict by the
orJcr of the 20th inst hi general, however, this is not the
conclusion conic to on the subject, as the real motive for
the restriction, with the very sudden adoption of it, wa.i
an application by an establishment for a loan on Ex
bequer bills to the amon: t of 230,000/ , which under the
existing regulation cou'd not refused, hut to top the
threatened inundation of similar s,curitks the Bank re
sorted, as is supposed t a this measure. The consi,:era-
ti,in of the usurious chaff acter of such loans, t; hen i 4 in-
terest exceeding five per c, nt , would rather seem to-have
been en afterthought. Tii,! best reliance the holders of such
securities can have is not upon th,,!Bank, but upon some effmt
to be made by the Government to pr,vent the furtm r
&cline of Exchequer bills at least, whim:at which, :is they
can be paid in for duties if they fail below par, this revenue

CIIIWNICLE.—The usual consequence of any re-
markalle alteration in the Aloney Market has been cxp,ri-
enced at the Stock Exchange to-day. The Impression
that high rates of iatcrest were to be obta'ned there
,br.rught
a supply of money Iron all quArtcr?., and towards the close
of the day the dealers had more than they could read.ly
rind employment fr. The money prices of nil descr
of Stock have raliiod, therefore, fully one per cent. ; arid
the .price for the Account has improved s per c •nt. The
addition of the clause to the Lxersauges 8,11, by which
Exchequer Bills, India Botids, and other convertible se
cat i:ies are t xempted from the operation of the U. ury
Laws, has likewise had its ()
effect :n the temporary resto,
ration of confilence, and the lowering of the rate of
interest.• It will be strange indeed if the .short-sighted
views of those who advocate a continuanca -of these
pernicious laws are not intileireed bs' this cir-
eumAance. Their object appears to be to protect the
borrowers of money front ti,e grasping avatice of the
lenders; but di they not perceive .that the temporary re.
laxttCon even of there laws has an immediate tendency to
lower the rate of interest, and that a distresred borrower,
mrocy he must hive, is. obi ged to pay not r'.nly the
usual rate, hut such additional charges as will indemnity
the Iced r for the risk he runs in breaking the law, which
additional rate nowt be governed by the amount of the
penalty ? Consols closed at 93 to
k fur the opening, after
!raving been 921 and 03. f; Reduced at 911, after being
91-,1 ; and Exchequer Bills at 12-s. to 16i. prem.,
.which is
an advance of 5-.; Bank Stock is 183 to 190.
Foreign Securities likewise showed some svmptoms of
amelioration, and most of the quotations were -higher; but
the difficulty which it is sttll feared may occur on the
ap-
proaching settlement. of the account continues •to hang
over the market, and prevented any mgrerial alteration.

We are glad to state that the exportation of the pr,-ekuz

2,075 cz. of gold coin to Hamburg were shipped, end
3 430 oz. of gold ba-s, of which 3,080 oz. were sent to

In
the commercial world there is very little elyinge to
noilee, es all parties are lying completely on their oars,

Dublin (more, in-teed, than Ini4lit have been cx•

tavreased the rare also to 51- per cent, for discounts, is hich
it appears the Directors were enabled to do under a Clause
in the usury laws; for by the charter of the institution
they are precluded from charging mere than 5 per cent.
Titers has been considerable discussion in the City, since
the notica of Thursday last, in reference to the .Bank of
Ireland, as, the impression was that the Directors could
nit demand more than 5 per cent., and the anomaly of
one institution charging 5- per cent. and the other 51 per
cent. was ex;:ected to lead to considerable ineonvenienc,-.
This question, however, is now set at rc,t by the resolu-
tion of the Directors of the Bank of Ireland.
