LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1837.

In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord BROUGHAM
Presented 70 petitions, with 30,000 signatures attached to
them, from different parts of the country, in favour of the
Principle of the Government measure for the abolition of
Church-rates.
After some conversation relative to Turnpike Trusts, in
'Which Lord WHARNCLIFFE designated the measure that
Palsed last Session a fraud upon every creditor of Turnpike
Tivusts in the country, the Turnpike Trusts Continuation
13i11 was read a second time, on the motion of Lord DUN-
CANNON.

.11e Bishop of LONDON said that a Morning Paper,
which b_pa stated that a Clergyman at Islington had signed
a petithA with the words " Jim Crow." was betrayed into a
acandalcus• misrepresentation. The paper in question has
Since stated that the signature was that of an apprentice,
who had dope it for a joke.
In Committee on the Dublin Police Bill the second
clause was rejected, by 28 over 17 ; upon which Lord
I)uNcANNoN said that, after the decision which the Corn-
2uittee had come to, he felt it necessary to move that the
-House should adjourn, which he did accordingly.
In the House of Commons, after some proceedings, prin.
of a private description, Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice
that in consequence of the vote that had been come to on
Tuesday night, relative to the Church-rates, he would call
the attention of the House to the present state of the nation.
Lord J. RUSSELL then gave notice that on Thursday
T'lxt he would move for a Select Committee, to inquire into
e mode in which leases of cathedral property and that of
"ae Bishops were at present granted, with a view of ascer-
.Piaing whether some better mode might not be adopted.
2 answer to the question which had been put to his Right
lan. Friend (Mr. Rice) yesterday evening, he had to say
tzlat his Right Hon. Friend would not introduce any mea-
14re on the subject of Church-rates, until the Committee
lould have had an opportunity of taking evidence on the
luk\iett.

s,:nne
conversation succeeded respecting the recent trans-
psi on to Glasgow of the election writ for that city. Sir
t• G. ItArckm made it a matter of great importance and heavy
"st Ire, that the writ was sent (as he said) by express, in-
4of by post, as the Act directs. The Clerk of the
pro 11,n, ultimately, was ordered to attend on Tuesday, and
L Ice at the bar the receipt for the writ at the Post-office.
otx the motion of Mr. Hoy copies of certain papers, re-
iing. to the presents lately sent to this country by the King
ODE, were ordered.
1.411 e House then went into Committee on the Irish Poor
4,5 Bill. The consideration of the clauses, up to the
B.ttt
11?:, almost exclusively occupied the remainder of the
I,,frrhe Prison's (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and
Ted to a Select Committee. The House was " counted
,Pt at a quarter past Twelve, and stands adjourned til'

- e are pleased to find that Ministers do not mean
:to let the Church-rate question rest in its present
Position, Lord JOHN RUSSELL intimated in the
i.,llause of Commons last night that he should, on
•thurgday next, move for a Select Committee to in-
tlthuire into the mode in which Church property under
:leaa",agement of Bishops and Cathedral Chapters is
taboie`" The Noble Lord also stated that the Bill for
ire—visiling Church-rates will not be brought in, until
,1.1 Committee has made a report on the evidence that
aY have been given before it. It would, we think,
;b
better to have proceeded at once with the
but there are some great advantages attending
hecourse proposed by the Government. One of the
mgain arguments used by the factious opponents of the
inisterial ~nisterial measure, was the inadequacy of the funds
relied on as a substitute for Church-rates. Our readers
Cannot
I have forgotten, that on the first introduction of
the resolution by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
tjER) Sir ROBERT PEEL, in a speech such as,
ib Point of ability (the Tories said), was neve'
:., :irated emre delivered within the walls of Parliament, demon-
to the entire satisfaction of himself and his
,Party, that all the calculations on which the plan was
.bottomed were erroneous—little better, in short, than
la°milline—and therefore contended that the effects of
,re measure would be an arbitrary and useless inter-
tii with the rights of the Clergy, and a degrada-
° In, of the sacred order of Bishops from Lords of the
;", letting lands and receiving rents, into petty ennui-
of ilts receiving a yearly pittance from a Board
tak Commissioners. Now the investigation about to
Iv a Place will set all this part of the question right.
e shall see with certainty what data there are to go
iT°n."---vve shall be able to calculate to a nicety what
value of every subsisting lease held under
181.113 Pg and Chapters, and shall require but littk
~
lthmetic to enable us to judge how much less than
that value the present lessees have paid. This
is information of the most valuable description,
such, as had there been time, it would
• hate been desirable to have had before the subject
wa brought under the consideration of Parliament.
may here offer our sincere congratulations to
elaleurs the lessees, on the brilliant prospect which

the appointment of this Committee—arising as it does
out of their skilful manoauvring—holds out to them.
We are sure they are in extacies at the anticipated
