TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We feel much obliged to a Reverend Correpondont at
Bristol for calling our attention to the subject ad-
verted to in his letter. We entirely concur in his re-
marks, but a person of his candour cannot fail to see
that in conducting such a multifarious concern as a
daily paper, a paragraph may be inserted, or a remark
made, which is not in accordance with either the poli-
tical or religious principles of the Editor.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1839.

Amongst ns pres
the petitions to the House of
Lords last night, was one from the Canadian prisoners.
It was presented by Lord BROUGHAM, who explained
at some length the case of these petitioners, and con-
demned the law of the Attorney-General, the discom-
fited inventor of the novel construction of the Habeas
Corepus Act. The petitioners prayed for inquiry and
lif.

The Marquis of NORMA NEY said many of the alle-
gations in the petition had been for some time under
the consideration of the Government.
The Clerks of the Peace Bill was withdrawn, on its
being ascertained that the House was against it.
Lord DENMAN also withdrew the Borough Courts'
Bill, which had been much altered in the Commons.
The Poor-laws, or rather the Earl of STANHOPE,
provoked a little discussion, and the Noble Earl came
off second-best in a contest with the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON. The Noble Earl obtained some returns, but
his mode of speaking of the Poor-law Commissioners,
and of 'all the parties concerned in the administration
of the Poor-laws, was discountenanced by Peers of all
parties.

A petition presented by Mr. DILLON BROWN in the
Commons, from Dr. WHALE, the Catholic Arch-
bishop of Tuam, is doubly worthy of notice. The pe-
tition was against the National Scheme of Education,
because the religious education of their respective
flocks was a duty solely and exclusively belonging to
the Catholic Clergy. They could not give up
that Education into other hands without a renunciation
of the obligations they owe to the Divine rounder of
their religion. In this respect the Roman Catholic
Clergy take exactly the same view as the Clergy of the
Church of England, and in the mischievousness of their
demands may be seen, as in a mirror, the mischievousness
of the demands of the Anglican Clergy. The petition
was objected to that it purported to proceed from the
Archbiship of Tuam, which, it was said, was the usur-
pation of a title forbidden by the law. It was con-
tended that the law did not forbid other persons giving
to Dr. APHALE the title of an Archbishopric which no
longer existed in the English Church. A considerable
and ;not very gentle discussion ensued, at the end of
which the House deCided, by 165 to 82, that the peti-
tion should be'rejected.
Slr. LAW gave notice that he should move the rejec-
tion of the Metropolitan Police Courts Bill, on going
into a Committee.

In answer to questions, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said
that the Government meant to introduce a measure to
amend the Tithe Commutation Act, and did not mean
to introduce any measure founded on the recommenda-
tion of the Committee on Church Leases. Like the
weather the work begins to wax warm in the Commons.
Lord STANLEY is to move an Address to her Majesty
to rescind the Order in Council for the formation of a
Board of Education, and Sir R. PEEL is to take the sense
of the House on the propriety of omitting the first clause
of the Jamaica Bill, which was ordered to be read a
third time on Monday.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL withdrew his resolutions con-
cerning Canada, and asked for leave to bring in two
Bills—one to continue the Act for the Government of
Canada, which expires next year, till 1842, amending
Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT'S clause ; and the other esta-
blishing the union of the two provinces-11Iontreal to be
the seat of the Government. Leave was given--dis-
cussion being postponed till the Bills are brought in.
.The 'Metropolis Police Bill was discussed in Corn-
m.i.ttee, and some divisions took place, Hon. Members
°mile:jog to a clause, closing booths after 11 o'clock,
who !tiding gentlemen to the treadmill for 14 days
may be riotous in the street ; but both clauses

WI LSO N, MAYOR.-A COMMON
COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall
of the City of London, on Thursday, the 13th day of June,lB39,
Resolved unanimously,
That this Couit views with alarm the introduction into the
Commons House of Parliament of a Bill, intituled " A Bill
for regulating the police Courts in the Metropolis," whereby it
is sought to alter the established Laws, and subvert that noble
bulwark of British Liberty, " Trial by Jury," by, which the
people of this hitherto fres country have been for ages
protected.

That placing Mer,sistrates (having judicial powers) under the
control of and subject to dismissal by the Ministers of the Crown,
is calculated to deprive such judicial functionaries of that free
and constitutional independence for which the Judges of our
land are eminent.

That subjecting persons liable to the payment of debts and
damages for civil injuries to imprisonment in Houses of Correc-
tion, is a degradation to which no civil debtor ought to be sub-
jected, and puts his punishment on the same footing with that
of the criminal.

That the proposed " Bill for regulating the Police Courts in
the Metropolis" has for its objects the above evils, as well as
many other inroads on the rights and liberties of the people.
That this Court do therefore forthwith pre!ent petitions,
founded on the above resolutions, to both Houses of Parliament,
praying that the said Bill may not be proceeded with.
