NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING=
Tuesday Night

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TUESDAY'S RACING.
King's Plate.—Eagle made running, followed by PussleY'
Louisa lying third, and Helga last ; nor did these positions
vary until they reached lhe corner of the plantations, wh'e,_ir:
the lot closed ; on rising the hill Pussey went in front, Ins'
the rest of the play, and won by a length.
The One Hundred Sovs. Stakes.—Chapeau d'Espagnet_..ctit
out the work at a steady pace to the end of the T. Y. C.,
Voluptuary challenged and pressed her very closely up the
cords ; but in the end was beaten by a length. Velure nous"
not live with them.

The Two Thousand Guineas Stakes.—After several fill
starts the lot (a much larger one than had been expected) C
off well together, Troilus in front at a steady3aace, with AT:
met, Gil Blas, and Mustee well laid up ; at the bushes PAW;
ney was beaten, nor did the Mervinia colt or Dardanelles lid
many yards further. In descending the hill Troilus sud
Sweet Pea were rather in advance, with Achmet, Mug tee, l'll
Gil Blas in close attendance, Achmet looking very lik e a wln:
ner ; Troilus shook off the Sweet Pea colt in die race acr°—
the bottom, was then collared by Achmet, and defeated at di:
cords. Mustee now went up, and ran a pretty race home with
Achmet, who won by half a length, but not withotnt spurring'
Troilus was about a length astern of Mustee, Gil. Blase being
a respectable fourth ; the others were tailed off. The POe
was good.
The sport on the whole was highly interesting, and a 111'
yourable change having taken place in the weather the _,
endance in the town and on the Heath was immense.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1837.

In the House of Lords yesterday the proceedings pos-
se3sed no peculiar or interesting feature.
14 the House of Commons the earlier part of the sitting
Was occupied with Railway Bills. A discussion arose on
the merits of the Municipal Corporations (Scotland) Bill
kocl the Burghs Barony Bill, which were severally read a
second time.
• The second reading of the Freemen's Admission Bill
was carried by a majority of 54 ; there being 75 for the
11. and 21 against it.
The Sheriffs Court Bill went into Committee. The
first clause was carried by a majority of 43 ; the remaining
three were struck out.
The Theatres Regulation Bill was read a second time.
Mr. R. STEu Aar obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the
registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Scotland ;
and also a Bill to alter and amend the laws relating to clan-
destine marriages in Scotland, and to provide for the better
registration of marriages in that country. The Bills were
subsequently brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time on Wednesday, 17th May.

The House of Lords having thrown down the
gauntlet of defiance, we trust that Ireland will not be
slow to take it up. Every thing now depends on the
• attitude which that country may think fit to assume.
The Lords, it is clear, will yield nothing to reason—
nothing to justice ; they are accessible only through
their apprehensions. They must, therefore, be made
to feel that they can no longer insult seven millions of
sEritish subjects with impunity. We take for granted,
that When the news of Tuesday night's discussion shall
reach Dublin, the rational Association will meet
Without a moment's delay, and adopt resolutions worthy
0f the emergency. The crisis is a momentous one,
invelving a question of life or death to the welfare
of the sister country, and must be met with
eorre
sPoudina vigour. The House of Commons will
(1° 48 duty ;bso also will Ministers, and the Reformers
!ellerally throughout England ; but it is Ireland that
1:48t make the great demonstration, for it is her inte-
iesP that are most immediately' affected—as ours are
zitinmiteetlY---bv the unjust verdict about to be pro
lhtinced by the House of Lords against her. Let her
when' We repeat, bestir herself promptly and effectually,
_
let us make common cause with her. What is her
Late to-day, may be ours to-morrow. Let the Tories
hue
succeed in crawling back into. Downing-street,
PIX Ireland will not be the only country on
08e mouth they will strive to clap a muzzle.
Refrisely as they treat her demand for Corporate
rot, will they treat our demand for measures
equally equitable character. We can expect no
g'rtheaatner justice at their hands than Ireland ; the cause
Eaereft3re of the two countries being the same, the
s' e should be the struggle, for there can be no good
Frei 'Led for the sister-country, that does not hold out a
rPeet of equal good for us. We can further assure
liitliatid that every thing depends on the promptitude
she now sets about the task of Constitu-
.ork.l a
.111111; ation. Energy is good, but readiness
,pe a existing circumstances, is better. There is—
'Th 'lO not speak figuratively, but literally--not a
.hirnetn. to be lost.' The Tories are in a desperate
heuation.
They are lost, if they do not act at once ;
itecie they, are mustering all their energies ; combining
,c).‘_tneir forces ; are at work, at this present moment of
writing, in a thousand different channels ;• ear-
gging the Court ; inflaming and misleading the
,lext !s , getting up Westminster meetings, and
'very
erous e
party pamphlets ;—in fact, fraternizing
twh
ov re for the attainment of one common object—
Milne tierthrow of the present Administration. It is
then for all good men and true, to rally round
k*overnment
4•ence , and convince the Tories that the abhor..
for them in Ireland, is not confined to that
empireie alone, but pervades every other part of the

(I:,.(ts for the maintenance of the highways of a district,
tom ,1.411 further cost to the community. Alter a while
Plaint is made tot he Government, that not only Is a

toll levied on the said road for the repair of certain bye-
; ways, which the original covenant expressly included in
the charges on the land of the Corporation, but it is fur-
. thermore shown that this toll is levied on many who never
use either the highways or bye-ways of the Corporation !
This causes great disturbance among the people, and brings
the Coporation into disrepute, who begins to find it very
difficult to raise the toll at all. The Government, on
enquiring into the matter, find that the fiscal necessity
for this impost is entirely occasioned by the gross
mismanagement of a portion of the lands ; and that
by a new system of farming them, an increase of income
may be easily attained, which will not only supply the
whole amount raised by the toll, but give a very considera-
ble surplus to the Corporation into the bargain. The Go-
vernment being, of course, in duty bound to protect the
public interest, proceeds to enforce this improved manage-
ment, and to put a stop to the toll. Whereupon the Cor-
poration denounces the plan of increasing their revenues as
one of rank robbery and plunder ; insists on its right im-
memorial to mismanage its estates ; and, above all, to
compel the people to pay the toll, more especially that part
of them who never use the highways ; an impost which
they do not hesitate to declare vital to their existence as a
Corporation ! This conclusion it is difficult to reconcile to
any other conceivable notion on the part of these worthy
objectors, than a belief that the moment they cease to be
obnoxious they cease to be safe ; that the security of their
property depends entirely on their privilege of making ene-
mies ; and that the only means of protecting themselves
from violence; is to perpetuate hostility."
Mr. SYMONS then proceeds to consider the practica-
bility of the plan, and to examine its bearings on dif-
ferent interests. The mode in which the Bishops
manage Church property, and the happy results of
that management, are thus stated :--
" We have already shown that the State is the guar-
dian of the people's interest in the property of the Church,
and we imagine that there can be no question of the con-
sequent duty incumbent on the Government to restore to
the revenues of that Church one million per annum now
diverted from its income. The deficit has arisen from the
fact, that the personal interests have been antagonist to the
corporate interests of the Church ; and, as a matter of
course, the latter have suffered. When a life or a lease
falls, the dignitary naturally makes the best bargain for
himself, which generally happens to be the worst for the
Church. The dignitaries (especially the Bishops) have
been, for the most part, either old men, or young men ex-
pecting promotion, and in both cases divested of any per-
nzanent interest in their sees or stalls. The result has na-
turally been, under such circumstances, that when a life or
lease dropped, it has been more to their interest to close
at once with an inadequate fine for renewal, than, by hold-
ing out for a larger, to run the risk of its ultimately fall-
ing to their successor. Thus numberless are the instances

of a fine, not above one-third the real value, 1;in;
grasped at by the lessor for his own sake, whereby the
permanent interest of the Church has, of course, pro-
portionally suffered. It is no forced deduction from these

facts to assert, that the loss occasioned by this system has
fallen exclusively on the poorest, and certainly not the least
deserving of the working clergy. The very lowest calcu-
lation of the amount of loss is above a pillion per annum.
Now, at the late arrangement of the Bishops' incomes, it
was found that there was no more than enough property
to provide the evangelical salaries of 5, 10, and 15,000/.
per annum, with the new palaces. As it is generally be-
lieved that since the Bishops settled their incomes them-
selves, they are content therewith, it is evident that any
surplus above what they have been pleased to help them-
selves to, would have gone to the fund for the relief of the
starving clergy on the .50/ livings. Now it appears that ner
less than a million surplus is annually withheld from that

very revenue, the redundancy of which was promised to
the poor clergy."

The claims of the Lessees, those much-injured
persons, for whom, now for the first time, there has
been perceived any yearning in Episcopal bowels, are
very soon and satisfactorily disposed of by the Author :
" The hardship effected on this class is precisely that
which every ordinary tenant experiences when his land-
lord refuses to renew an expired lease at a rental proved
to be inadequate. That the tenants of Church lands had
the smallest right to reckon on the permanence of their
tenure, is palpably disproved by the ascertained fact,
that these lands have materially suffered for the want
of those permanent improvements which the absence
of a stable interest in the property has alone produced.
The tenant well knows, that although he may have
a moral understanding of continued tenure under
the existing diocesan landlord, that any hour may remove
him from his see, and introduce a successor who has
the perfect option of running the lives out, and reclaiming
the property. How then can the tenant pretend, with any
show of consistency, that he has anything approaching to
a property in his occupation of lands, on which he dare
not cut a tree down without leave and license from his
landlord ? A property, moreover, from which he is re-
movable, like any other tenant, at the expiration of his lease,
at the will of a landlord, of whose 'very name he is ignorant.
" All that the lay lessees can claim is, that their existing
interests be inviolably preserved. This the Bill provides for.
" The fact is, that quoad the remaining term of their in-
terests, the Lessees are offered advantages not calcu-
lated in the estimate ; for at present they are subject
to all the contingencies of bad debts, insolvent sub-te-
nants, and to all the hazardous liabilities of agriculture.
" Since these lay Lessees are the only persons who
suffer at all by the measure, and are certainly not
chargeable with the evils their interests are effected to
redress, they are decidedly the fittest objects of pity ;
although they must have been blind indeed not to have
foreseen the almost inevitable termination of a system so
iniquitously injurious to the interests of the Church. As
to moral injustice being done them, the mere idea is fu-
tile ; the very extent of their grievance being that they are
bound by the terms of their own compact."
After noticing the captious objection respecting
pew-rents, which are left, by the proposed measure,
entirely at the discretion of the Diocesan and Arch-
deacon, with whom, therefore—that is, with. the par-
ties objecting—must rest all the evil (if any) which
arises from this source ; and making some just observa-
tions on the uncharitable spirit with which the Dis-
senters have been assailed by Churchmen for stirring
this question, the Author thus remarks, on the pitiful at-
tempts made by the leaders of the Tory party to con-
vict Lord JOHN RUSSELL of inconsistency on this
question :
" The Government has been assiduously and recklessly
vituperated. Even the veracity of Lord John Russell has
been most unfairly called into question, and a mean attempt
has been made by the organs of the Church-rate party, to
prove the advocacy of the present measure to be irrecon-
cileable with the assertion made by his Lordship in June
last, to the effect that it was not his intention to charge
the repairs of Churches on the revenue of the Church, be-
cause (as he at the time stated) those revenues were, in
his opinion, not sufficient for the purpose. At that period
his Lordship was not aware of the available addition to
these revenues which has since been brought to light.
" His objection was contingent on the absence of
a surplus income ; the surplus provided, the objection
necessarily falls to the ground. Where then is the
breach of faith'—where the gross inconsistency,' and
the whole tissue of false charges which have been
hence fulminated at each clerical meeting, and re-
echoed by the mimic thunder of the bigot press ! The
whole charge moreover rests, if it can be said to rest
anywhere, on a misapprehension of the distinction be-
tween revenue and property. They who do not wilfully
cast this slander on the veracity of the Home Secretary,
will do well to make themselves acquainted with the
meaning of the word " revenue," which Johnson will in-
form them to be "annuul profits received from lands or
other estates." These are precisely what Lord John
Russell formerly said were not adequate to the charge,
but which he now purposes to make so ; the practicability
of doing which has been fully proved. That the grope, ty
of the Church should not be charged with the repairs of
its fabrics, his Lordship neither meant, said, nor implied."
We tonne next to the absurd objection which the
clergy have in a moment of mental absence brought
forward against that part of the measure which ren-
ders them '' annuitants and stipendiaries on the
State ! !

" This the Gospel, which says that " the labourer is
worthy of his hire," evidently deems no stigma. Perhaps,
however, it is hardly fair to expect people, who are engaged
in supporting 'a compulsory tax in maintenance of religion,
to be consistent with the Gospel : though they might at
any rate, we presume, without unreasonableness, be ex-
pected to be consistent with themselves. This horror of
the degradation of making the Clergy annuitants will ap-
pear not a little amusing, when it is recollected that by
its new arrangement of episcopal incomes, the Church
Commission itself has just rendered no less than thirteen
Bishops annuitants for ever on the fund in its control.*

* The Church Commission (in which Prelates predominate)
have arranged that all surplus derived from the curtailment cf
the largest episcopal incomes shall bo paid into a general fund,
in the management of the Commission ; and thence doled oot

to that which, when proposed by a Reform flovernmor,t, calls
forth the reproimtioP of the High Church partisans.

With what faith persons like these can profess a veneration
for religion, whose living spirit is unswerving truth, as the
real motive of their opposition to the new measure, we may
leave it to the candour of every Christian to decide.
Again, is it not evident that the very receipt of Church-
rates by the Church, of which these consistent persons
are the advocates, does in itself render the Church sti-
pendiary to the State ?"

The next objection to which Mr. SYMONS alludes
is that of robbery, or as some pious souls view it—
sacrilege—the sacrilege of increasing the revenue of
the Church, and devoting every particle of that revenue
to ecclesiastical purposes ! The consideration of this
part of the subject naturally leads the author into an
investigation of the original application of Church
property, in which he shows very considerable research,
and no small power of turning it to account in the ar-
gument. We are sorry that want of room prevents us
at present from following him in this not the least
interesting portion of his spirited and highly merito-
rious work.

The Preston Chronicle of Saturday last contains
an interesting report of the proceedings which took
place at a Church-rate Abolition Meeting held in
that town on the preceding Tuesday. The meeting
was called by the Mayor in consequence of a requisi-
tion numerously signed, and long before the appointed
hour the Town-hall was crowded. The Mayor, who
presided, and who is a staunch Churchman, opened
the proceedings with a powerful speech, in which
he urged the necessity of putting an end to the
Church-rate war, if the Church was to be preserved at
all, and the duty of all the real friends of the Estab-
lishment to embrace without delay the highly favour-
able measure proposed by 11:s MAJESTY'S Ministers,
against which no valid objection could be brought.
The Mayor was. followed by several other gentle-
men, who recommended, i❑ eloquent speeches, the
adoption of the Ministerial plan—the only plan by
which they conceived it possible that the Church-rate
question could be satisfactorily or effectually settled.
Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, in favour
of the abolition, were almost unanimously voted.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been re-
ceived. In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, a
desultory, but by no means insignificant, conversation

followed the announcement of a determination on the
part of Ministers to introduce a Bill demanding a
million of francs to pay the dowry of the Queen of
the BELGIANS. M. ()DILLON BARROT rose and
said, that it was illegal and unjust on the part of the
Government to demand dotations for members of the
Royal Family, except in the case of a deficiency in the
Civil List. He would therefore oppose any such de-
mand unless a Report of the expenditure of the Civil
List, so as to prove the necessity for such a grant, was
laid before the Chamber. M. LACAVE LAPLANGE,
the Minister of Finance, declared that it was prepos-
terous on the part of any Honourable Deputy to ask
the KING to submit his accounts to the inspection of
the Chamber ; that the Civil List was insufficient
was, he contended, proved sufficiently by the fact, that
Ministers wanted more money. M. ODILLON BAR-
ROT, in a few words, exposed the shallow sophistry of the
pert and flippant financier. The law of the Civil List
was no better than a farce if it could be thus set aside
by an act of mere volition on the part of a Minister
for the Crown. Those Members who voted with him
would act as generously as the most thorough-paced
supporters of the Cabinet in whatever concerned
themselves, but they were bound in duty to resist any
attempt to make unconstitutionally free with the
pockets of their constituents. M. MONTALIVET,
Minister of the Interior, here interposed, and observed
that the arguments for and against the Bill, would be
better kept back till Ministers had submitted it in
form to the judgment of the Chamber. After several
other Members had expressed themselves unfavour-
able to the grant of a flotation without a previous
examination of the expenditure of the Civil List, the
debate on the supplementary credits was resumed.
This discussion must open the eyes of Ministers to
the fact, that the Deputies make a wide distinction
between allowances for the maintenance of the heir-
apparent to the Throne, and the other members of the
Royal family.

The Court of Peers had not on Tuesday pronounced
sentence on MEuNIER and his accomplices. Respect-
ing the political bias ,which guided the conducting of
the trial the Gazette de France has the following re-
markable paragraph :

It has been remarked by those who attended at the sit-
tings of the Court of Peers upon the trial of Meunier and
his supposed accomplices, that the President, Baron Pas-
quier, conducted the proceedings, and particularly the inter-
rogatories, in such a manner that the answers of the pri-
soners and of the witnesses might point out the necessity
for adopting the non-revelation law proposed by the late
Ministry, and which the present Cabinet, according to the
intimation of M. Montalivet, appeared inclined to support.
It would seem from the above circumstance that a project
of law which the former Ministry hesitated to bring forward
is still in favour in a high quarter.

It is thus the KING drags through the mire of poli-
tical infamy every public man of any reputation in
France. The policy of such a course is as socially in-
jurious as it is morally detestable. There is little else
worth notice in the Paris Journals of Tuesday except
what will be found in the annexed extracts :
The steam-boat which arrived at Barcelona on the 17th
has brought news from Alicant to the 12th, and from Va-
lencia to the 15th, of this month. With respect to Ali-
cant there is nothing worthy of remark, except an address
to the Queen, signed by the chief officers of the National
Militia, and of the corps of the Brigade of operations, in
which they ask that General Lorenzo be appointed Cap-
tain-General .of that province. "We have lately seen,"
say they, "how much a man is worth. His name, with the
remembrance of his exploits, and his spontaneously going
out as a private soldier against the Carlists when the inhai•
nimous wish asked him for Chief, have .sufficed to- induce
about 8,000 National Guards and 230 cavalry to join hint
in less than fifteen hours. The measures which he advised
gave to the Brigade so comManding an attitude; that 'the
faction fled precipitately, and retreated 13 or 14 leagues
from the province.—Journal du Commerce.
A letter from Bona of the 13th 'April says, the move-
ments of troops are already considerable ; almost all the forces
are assembling at the camps of Drean and Gllelma ; the garri-
son of the latter camp is very large ; accordingly, it makes
oxcursians from time to time towards Constantina, in order
to reconnoitre the country. Hitherto th! troops have
scarcely met with a few stragglers ; it cannot therefore be
doubted that Achmet Bey has collected his partisans at
Constantina, where the natives say everything is preparing
for a vigorous resistance ; but with the means which the
Government has granted for the intended expedition, the
resistance of Aclnnet will be in vain.
General. Tuzel_ commander-in-chief in the province, has
been to visit the camp at Ghelrna ; it is affirmed that as
soon as 4,000 men can be collected at that point, the Ge-
neral will put himself at the head of that little division, and
push,a strong reconnaissance to within a short distance of
Constantina.—Constituttonnel, April 25.

The Irat rs from Baionne of thr 21st, a►►iJ frOm S
Sebastian of the 20th, received this morning, speak
confidently of the return of the British. Legion, alter
the expiration of the torn► of its service in June next.
We shall offer no comment upon a statement, which

the next arrivals from San Sebastian may pro-
nounce unfounded. Rumours are also in circulation,
to the effect that Don CAR-LOS is preparing an expe-
dition to dispute his claim to the Crown on the other
silk of the Ebro. The inactivity of the QUEEN'S
Generals—the irresolution of the Government--and
the culpable indifference of the Cortes to the only sub-
ject which ought to occupy that A ssembly,the progress
of the civil war in the Basques--may well stimulate
the Pretender to hazard such an experiment. There
will be time enough to prepare a Constitution for
Spain after Spain is prepared to receive it. This era
cannot commence while a civil war is raging in that
country.

Brussels and German papers have been received
this morning, the former to the 26th, the latter
to the 21st instant. The infernal machine seized
at Antwerp some weeks since by the Police has
turned out to be a very innocent and useful ma-
chine for filtering water. Nevertheless, the inge-
nious artisan by whom it was invented has received
orders to quit Belgium. This severity towards an
innocent person is disgraceful to King LEOPOLD.
" What can better expose the debasing tendency of a
kingly Government," will the republicans triumphantly
exclaim, " than the fears of KINGs that every improve-
ment and discovery in science threatens their destruc-
tion, and is therefore to be crushed by the pro..;crip-
tion of the inventors."

The Chamber of Representatives is still busy with
the Customs' Tariff Bill. The old monopoly system
has its staunch advocates in Belgium as well as in
France and England. The blindness of these poli-
tical moles is incurable.

On the 19th inst. the Grand Duke MICHAEL of
Russia arrived in Munich from Italy. The German Jour-
nals tell us that his Imperial Highness preserves his
Incognito-Anglice, that his Imperial Highness is
addressed by an agnomen or nickname, and is known
by everybody.
The Archduke PALATINE of Hungary is slowly
recovering. His final restoration to health is no
longer despaired of. The Emperor evinces the
greatest anxiety on the subject of the dangerous ill-
ness of one of the most distinguished of his Coun-
cillors.
