out, and dicers of the House of Commons. It is the
pious Lord STANLEY, however, and his friends who
make Christianity the subject of acrimonious political
disputes, The Noble Lord made a very long, a very
dry, and a very dull, ineffective speech, which lasted two
hours. He denounced the scheme as everything that was
corrupt and irreligious. One curious fact the Noble
Lord made apparent, namely, that the Education So-
cieties had no objection to Model Schools, and only blew
their trumpet against them when the Government un-
dertook to establish them, whereby these Societies saw
that they could not clutch the 1,000/. or 5,00/. of
the public money they had expected. Selfishness
is at the bottom of the whole opposition.
Another point that the Noble Lord made apparent was
his own inconsistency, for he found fault with the plan
because it did not give any controul to the clergy, and
he also found fault with it because it did not leave any
to 'the Parliament, it being clear that if the Parliament
have the controul the clergy cannot have it, and the
Noble Lord, therefore, wanted incompatible things.
Lord MORPETH, in a short speech, as remarkable
for its good sense and Christian feeling as Lord STAN-
LEY'S was for a mere rabid display of super-religious
zeal, replied to Lord STANLEY, and showed that his
opposition was not quite consistent with the favour lie
had shown to the scheme of education for Ireland. The
Privy Council, Lord MORPETH contended, was a
strictly responsible body, while the evils which at the
present moment were felt in Ireland from having a
permanent Board, were powerful arguments against fall-
ing again into that error. He said it was impossibleto have
any clergymen members of the Board, for if the Bishop
of LONDON were put on it to satisfy the Churchmen,'
the Dissenters would require to have Dr. PYE SMITH.
The Noble Lord showed that the great business of
education had been neglected by all parties, but he
ought in justice to have remarked that the clergy are
largely paid for instructing the people, while the Dis-
senters, besides paying the clergy, instruct the children
of their own congregations. if the Dissenters have
been negligent, the Church has added to negligence a
gross breach of trust.

Lord ASHLEY preached a lugubrious sermon, after
Lord NIORPETH had done speaking, which lasted ano-
ther two hours. He quoted the circulars of the Wes-
leyans and the leaders of the Morning Chronicle, to
show that the scheme was not liked, and would lead
to establishing schools in which no religion at all was
to be taught. He said the scheme would be subver-
sive of the Constitution, of the Church, and of revealed
religion. The Noble Lord, therefore, obviously thinks
that they are all in a weak and dangerous state, since a
single model school is likely to be fatal to them. The
Noble Lord's sermon rather scandalised than instructed
the House.

Mr. HAWES, in an able speech, defended the Minis-
terial plan. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON, without sermo-
nizing like his friend, Epoke against it. Mr. SLANEY
reprobated in strong and emphatic terms the impro-
priety of making such a subject a party question, con-
demning the children of the humbler classes to
ignorance, inducting them into crime, and promoting
general discontent and disobedience because the Tories
must struggle for power. The Hon. Member sup-
ported the plan, and quoted several facts to show the
low state of education in our towns, but the House was
very unwilling to hear him, and both sides combined to
cut short Mr. SLANEY'S speech by calling for a di-
vision.

Sir WALTER JAMES, though there were calls for
an adjournment when he rose, was heard at
some length in praise of the Church, which
he proved, in a very curious way, stands remarkably
high in the public estimation. It is known to our
readers that the grant annually made in support of
education is divided between the National and the Bri-
tish and Foreign Societies, in proportion to the money
raised by those Societies ; so that the share each gets
from Government is in proportion to the sum each can
get from the public. The National Society has
had of the public money nearly four times as much
as the British and Foreign Society. The National
is the Church Society, therefore, concluded the Learned
Baronet, the Church is four times as much respected
and loved as the Dissenters. But most of the rich
people belong to the Church. With very few excep-
tions all the Peers belong to it. All the revenues of
the Church, too, arc on its side. The Nobility sub-
scribed largely, because they have more money than
they want—getting, as they do, a large sum by taxing
the people's bread ; the Bishops and Rectors, Deans
and Archdeacons of the Church subscribed largely,
because they hoped, probably, to get something in
return out of the money to be given by Govern-
ment. At all events Sir WALTER JAMES'S criterion is
most fallacious. It is merely an illustration of the ge-
neral improvident manner in which the public money
is wasted, those who have most, and wanting it the least,
receiving the most ; and those who have the least
and wanting it the most, receiving the least. Had
the money been divided justly, almost the whole of it
would have been given to the Dissenters, to counterba-
lance the large revenues they contribute to the Church.
without deriving any advantage whatever from them.
Because the rich Nobility and the rich clergy have so
managed to get more of the public grant than the Dis-
senters, Sir WALTER JAMES infers that they are both
respected and esteemed in the country in proportion
to the money each receives from the public. On the
Hon. Baronet taking his seat, there were calls for an
adjournment, and finally the debate was adjourned to
Wednesday.

It is a subject in which many persons are interested,
and we should not be surprised if, like the debate on
the question of confidence in the Government of Ire-
land, it were to last a whole week. The Members of
the House of Commons are great talkers, and, accord-
ng to the old adage, little doers.

The Noblemen and Gentlemen of England who
at present own any property which has ever be-
longed to the Church, no matter how or when ac-
quired, or of what nature it may be, beneficial
leases, tithes, or lands, are respectfully requested to
read attentively the following ominous words which
form part of a leader in that High Church Journal
the Times, of yesterday :
" Undoubtedly, wherever a vicarage is insufficient for
the respectable maintenance of a clergyman, the rectorial
lands or tithes ought to be brought forward to supply the
deficiency. It is no excuse to say that they were purchased
by the present possessor or his ancestor. " Caveat
emptor" ought to have been the maxim of the purchaser.
An alienation of Church property to such an amount as
leaves the incumbent without an adequate support and just
remuneration for his pious labours is in its origin unjust,
and ought not to be maintained."
The possession of Church property by English
laymen is here described to be in its origin unjust,
and ought not to be maintained. Admitting one
condition, we should agree with the Times; that
condition is, that the Church of England is a be-
neficial institution. We deny that. The landed
gentlemen of England, including the owners of
Church lands, tithes, Church leases, &c. &c., con-
tend fOr the preservation of that Church, and con-
tend that it is the solemn duty of the State to pro-
vide, b) means of that Church, for the religious
education of the people. Consistently with their
principles, we say, with the Times, give the
Church back the stolen means. The Church
pretends to do something for the people, the land-
owners do nothing ; and give the most deserving,
therefore, the property which of right belongs to it.
The Whigs, as well as the Tories, think so highly
of this Church, that they make no inconsiderable
annual grants out of the public taxes for its use,
and have made very large ones, while they unjustly
retain for their own use the property of the Church.
As long as they affirm that the Church is indispen-
sihle, so long will the people and the clergy have a
good right to accuse them of being guilty of plun-
der. They say the Church is necessary both to the
welfare of the people here, and to their eternal
happiness, and yet they destroy the means of its
saving operations. We are glad to see such a line
taken by the Church Journals ; and it ought to prove
to every holder of Church lands in the kingdom,
that they must either give up their possessions or
give up the Church. The clergy have great
power ; they are already beginning to speak out ;
let the Nobility and Gentry aid them in getting
more, and they may be assured that the time is not
far distant when the clergy will set the whole of their
poor congregations on those impious Noblemen
and Gentlemen who unjustly retain from GOD'S
visible and appointed Church the wealth that was
given her for the most holy purposes. Ti!
Gentlemen of England will have to choose betweei
maintaining the Church and resigning all the pro
perty of which it may at any time have heel' plun-
dered.

Such is the degraded state of the Tory press of
this country, that there is no better criterion of the
goodness of any public measure than the virulence
of the abuse which the hireling scribblers of the
Anti-Reform faction pour forth against it. No
measure ever yet met with Tory approbation,
which, hower plausible it might appear, had not
some lurking mischief in it, and conversely, when-
ever they are loud in condemnation of any proposal,
we may rest assured that it has the public benefit
for its object. Applying this rule, which experi-
ence has proved to he iliyerrir, to the ria,,t:ot, of
the Ballot we arrive at tile obvious euneLusiou, ci

we no other evidence in its favour, that the adop-
tion of that measure is of paramount importance.
Since it has become known that Government have
made this an open question, the Tory press has
opened all the sluices of Billingsgate against it and
the Ministers who have so far sanctioned it. For
any thing like argument in their vituperative tirades,
i t would be in vain to look. They are thrown into
convulsions, foam at the mouth, and exhibit all the
symptoms of impotent rage, because they see a
power rising up with which they cannot contend.
The influence which they possess, they know, is
founded entirely on the coercion of opinion, and that
which sets opinion free must be theirbane. The power-
ful instrument %Nhich it to effect this salutary change,
is the Ballot, and the history of politics tells
them that as surely as the Ballot is made an
" open question," so surely will it, sooner or
later, become the law of the land.
How soon this much-to-be-desired consumma-
tion shall take place, must depend upon the con-
duct of the Reformers. Ministers, if they have
not done as much as some ardent spirits may have
wished, have perhaps gone as far as, under the cir-
cumstances in which they are placed, could rea-
sonably be expected. By the concession which
they have made, this great practical question will
now have fair play ; let the people also do their
duty by pressing it energetically and unremittingly,
on the attention of the Legislature. It is not an
organic change, and it carries with it none of that
alarm with which such changes are contemplated.
Its sole intent is, and its sole effect will be,
to place every elector in that position in which the
theory of the Constitution pre:u►nes him to be,
namely, that of a free agent.

We have extracted from an Edinburgh Paper a
Report of the proceedings in the Court of Session
on Wednesday, relative to the important ecclesias-
tical question involved in the Lethendy case. It
will be seen from the defence set up by the
Senior Minister of the Presbytery, and the
Clergyman inducted in defiance of the order of
the Lord Ordinary, that the collision between the
Civil and Ecclesiastical Courts has actually taken
place. It thus appears that Catholic Bishops are
not the only ecclesiastics who claim authority su-
perior 'to the law of the land. The Court post-
poned their decision till Friday (yesterday).

The aspect of affairs in the East begins anew to oc
cupy the columns of the French Press. War, according
to them, cannot be prevented without the immediate
and powerful interference of France and England ; but
then comes the unfortunate circumstance of a supposed
non-identity of interests between the two countries. By
one portion of the Paris Press the advantages of ob-
taining a permanent footing in Egypt are eagerly pointed
out, and the policy of such a measure openly avowed
and defended ; while the orsrans of the Government
only abstain from the same languaga by the apprehen-
sion of exciting an alarm in the Great Powers. Jea-
lousy of England may be read in every article which
appears in the French Journals upon this subject. This
we should be glad to see removed, as its existence
must greatly weaken the moral influence of any com-
bined operation on the part of the two Gcvernments.
Happily, there is yet time for deliberation, and for ex-
planations too, should they be judged necessary. By
the following despatch from the official columns of the
llloniteur of Thursday, we learn that the rumoured
hostilities on the Syrian frontier were, as we all along
predicted, wholly unfounded :
" The Agent of Foreign Affairs to the Minister for
Foreign Affairs.
" Marseilles, June 12.
" The packet from the Levant arrived yesterday even-
ing. I forward her despatches by express. They com-
pletely contradict the reported hostilities between the
Turkish and Egyptian troops. It is true that there has
been a scuffle between some soldiers of the two armies,
but it was easily suppressed by their respective officers."
The scuffle or skirmish here alluded to must have
been an affair of the very least importance, as the
French word which expresses it, (sire) in the despatch
is only used to describe a tap-room brawl, among a
parcel of half-drunk blackguards ; most like there was
not a Sergeant's guard on either side took part in it.
The Journal des Debats, in a long and well-written
letter on the position of the armies of Turkey and Egypt,
contends that the chances of victory are all in favour of
the Porte. The concentration of the Turkish army
on the right bank of the Euphrates, supported by the
forts of Bir and Roneu Kale, is according to that Jour-
nal, evidence of a skilfully devised plan of attack ; while
it admits, that by occupying Aleppo and Antioch, the
keys of northern Syria, IBRAHAM has shown himself not
less skilful in assuming the best position for sustaining an
attack, which the writer declares to be sooner or later
inevitable. The following extract from the article' in
the Debats, is worth quoting :---
" But Ibrahim has against him several disadvantageous
circumstances, of whicti.the principal are, the chances of
rebellion in his rear, and the obligation to remain upon the
defensive, which gives to the Ottomans the choice of the
opportunity, the impetus of the initiative, and the ardour
which the prospect of a conquest inspires in every invading
army. If, however, victory was declared for Ibrahim,
whose troops have a well-established reputation of supe-
riority in tactics and in organisation—if the Ottoman army,
beaten, was thrown back to the Euphrates, or scattered in
Antolia, Ibrahim could not profit by his victory. He
would not dare advance, as before, upon Constantinople,
fearing the disembarkation of the Russians at Scutari, by
virtue of the celebrated treaty of mutual assistance con-
cluded between Russia and the Porte. Ibrahim, if he be
victoriou=, is restraieed by a powerful consideration. 'He
cannot now conquer—he can only preserve."
And after summing up the details, the writer con-
cludes as follows :
' " The campaign which is approaching is thus presented
under a very different aspect from that which astonished
Europe six years since, but it will not bring about the
same political complication, for Asia Minor can no longer
be invaded, Constantinople cannot be threatened from the
Asiatic banks of Scutari, as Ibrahim then boasted, and
consequently the casus fiederis of Unkiar Skelessi cannot
now be applied."
This article, interesting in itself, is accompanied by
the following extract from the Hamburg Correspondent,
which tends to confirm the writer's opinions of the ulti-
mate certainty of war :
" FROM PRUSSIA,JUNE 4.—A letter from Constantinople
says that the Sultan will soon declare publicly what Le has
frequently done in private—that the concessions accorded to
Mehemet Ali were wrung from the Porte by necessity ;
that the Pacha has usurped the sovereign power, on
account of his military successes ; that the Porte did
not overstep its rights by advancing its army ; that the
Porte is compelled by the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi to
fulfil certain obligations Which she could not do with-
out assembling her forces. The important communi-
cations lately made on this subject by the French Ca-
bidet to that of Vienna begin to produce a great sen-
sation here. The declarations which the Russian Cabinet
had appointed Count Meden to make to Mehemet Ali in-
crease the interest of the affair. They are much more
important as far as regards Eastern policy than the opera-
tions of the two armies. A Russian diplomatist lately
said that at the Emperor's nod 25,000 troops would march
to Constantinople to assist the Grand Seignior on the
Euphrates. All these circumstances are commentaries on
the news from Constantinople. The Russian Minister of
Foreign Affairs has answered in the same tone the notes
addressed to him by the French Cabinet."
Notwithstanding these rumours and surmises, we
persist in thinking that peace will be preserved for
another year, at least, between the SULTAN and the
VICEROY. Whatever may be the jealousies between
parties, or of the press,' the Governments of France
and England mutually desire the conservation of peace
for the present, and we doubt not but their joint repre-
sentations will be successful at Constantinople.
There is no other news of interest in the French
journals. The Chambers met on Thursday, but ques-
tions of domestic interest alone engaged their attention.
The Quotidienne publishes a letter from,a M. 011 one.
the delegate of the French merchants of Tunis, in which
the writer (now in Paris) compliments the Quotidienne for
having stigmatized the "anti-national conduct of the
French Government in protecting, to the injury of the
commerce and the dignity of France, the Bey of Tunis,
in his projects of rebellion against the Grand Seignor, his
legitimate Sovereign, and quotes a letter received by him,
dated Tunis, 27th of Msy, 1839, which contains the
following passage :
" At length the motives for this despatch of a crowd of
Tunisian Ambassadors to the principal Courts of Europe
have been ascertained. It appears that it is not gratui-
tously that the Government of July accords aid to its
allies. The price fixed by the Government of France get
the services it has rendered this Bey in protecting hint
in his project of revolt against the Grand Seignor is
18,000.000 franc !"
M. Thiers,' says the Debats, starts on Thursday for
the waters of the Pyrenees. We may add there is not
one word of truth as to the rumoursd retirement from
public life of M Thiers

Mr. Bennett, the Hatton•garden Magistrate, has dis-
missed the information against the coachman of the
Rev. Daniel Wilson, on the ground that, in driving his
master to Church, he was performing an act of neces-
sity. This, as Mr. O'Connell would say, is driving a
coach and four through an Act of Parliament. No
proof was given that it was a work of necessity, bc.
cause it was not possible to prove that a man, in
the vigour of life, could not conveniently go a
quarter of a mile without all the trappings of a
coach and two horses ; and a footman, or perhaps
two, in imitation of his superiors; the Bishops. All
these are included in this work of necessity, hut at the
same time it was not considered an act of necessity to
sell a little oil to relieve the sufferings of a scalded child.
But three weeks ago a fine was inflicted on some ob-
scure individual for this simple act, which at Hatton-
garden is punished as an offence, but which in any other
part of the civilized and uncivilized world would be con-
sidered an act of necessity, charity, and mercy.

PENZANCE ADDRESS TO THE

QUEEN.

The Reformers in thie locality met on Friday, the 7th
inst., in the Guildhall, and adopted an Address to her
Majesty, thanking her for repressing the dictatorial arro-
gance of the declared enemies of Reform, and at the same
time expressing a hope that Ministers will satisfy the
country by more energy and liberality. Mr. Boase,
banker and Magistrate, presided. The following gentle-
' men took part also in the proceedings :—Paynter, Ellis,
Cockram, Coulson, Pingeley, and Colenso, Esqs; The
speeches were spirited, and are remarkable alike for their
brilliancy and the sterling sense with which many abounded.
It is therefore matter of deep regret that the demands on
our space will not allow their insertion. We were much
struck by the force of the following passage in the latter
gentleman's address to the meeting A new era (said
Mr. Colenso) in the political world seems about to com-
mence. Her Majesty desires her Ministers to stand by
her. Save me ! save me! as if she had said, from the
Tory grasp ; but to enable Ministers to stand by their
Sovereign, we must stand by them. And in order that so
desirable a result may be brought about, we hope to hear
no more of ' standing by my order' to the depression of all
other orders in the State. No more of such of the people
being declared as insane who ask for a repeal of the Corn-
laws. No more of your stand still finality speeches."

The yacht season may now be said to be fairly com-
menced ; the Signalman has taken his summer station
at the Signal-house, and from the number of yachts co -
tinually arriving and departing, his situation is no
sinecure.

The Secretary has this day received a letter from
James Brooke, Esq., who in his yacht, the Royalist, of
142 tons, is making a voyage round the world ; he
speaks very highly of the qualities of his craft, partieu.
larly in two gales of wind in the Cape seas. He has
passed a fortnight at Rio touched at Tristan D'Acunha,
and arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, from which he
intended sailing on the 20th of March last for Singapore,
intending to touch at the wild island, of Amsterdam,
should the weather permit. He complains of being
obliged to enter into a bond of 1001. for his good and
proper behaviour while lying in the open bay at the Cape.
We are not aware of such demand having been made
on any yacht of the squadron at nny other port. He
says the officers behaved with all proper respect ; he
only condemns the absurdity of the law.
A project is on foot to build a bridge from East
Cowes to West. This would greatly facilitate the com-
munication between Cowes and Ryde, and enhance the
value of property on the east side of the Medina ; it is
now more than ever desirable from the extensive build-
ings about to be erected at Norris, and would relieve
thousands from making a fatiguing journey round by
Newport, which if they wish to go by land from West
Cowes or Yarmouth to Ryde, they now cannot avoid.
Next week we intend describing to our readers who
arc anxious to make a tour of this queen of islands, how
they can do it (visiting the most beautiful spots) in the
shortest time.

A CIIALLENGE CU? OPEN TO VESSELS OF ALL NATIONS,
OF EVERY SITE AND TONNAGE.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
Some of the spirited members of the Royal Yacht
Squadron have set on foot a subscription for the pur-
chase of a cup, to be called the .‘ Victoria Challenge
Cup," which they intend shall be contended for by
vessels of all nations, on the 20th of August, every
year. The winner of the cup to retain it till the fol-
lowing year. Challengers to pay ten guineas to the
Secretary, at the same time delivering in writing a de-
scription of his vessel, her name, nation, rig, and ton-
nage ; the cup to be placed in the hands of the Secre-
tary on the 19th of August, if there is a challenger—
when the entries and forfeits do not exceed 100
guineas, they are to be divided between the first and
second vessels—if they exceed that sum the second
vessel to have .50 guineas, the first the rest. If the
challenges shall be wholly withdrawn, the holders to
receive the amount of all forfeits.
Course.—The vessels to be started from off Cowes
Castle, round the buoys of the Brambles, Ncrinan, and
Royal George, Nab Light vessel, and vessel of Yar-
mouth, and back again.
Lord Yarborough heads the list with a sub-
scription of ten guineas, and is handsomely
followed by Mr. Joseph Weld, Mr. John Stewart, and
other gentlemen for the same sum. The ladies, a
few years since, gave a Challenge Cup of the value
of 250 guineas, to be sailed for by the yachts of the
Royal Yacht Squadron—to win which some most
splendid vessels were expressly built by the mem-
bers. The Earl of Belfast and Mr. Weld in
particular should be mentioned as having built vessels of
unrivalled beauty and possessing first-rate sailing quali-
ties, amongst others the. Louisa and Alarm in turn
carried off the cup. We hear great talk of the Balti-
more clippers—of gales of wind having chased them
for weeks without overtaking them ; but they never
show in our waters. The most noted American yacht,
Mr. Stephenson's Breeze, is now up the Mediterranean,
as is the Louisa, and it is said will pay us a visit this
summer. Should she try her qualities on the 20th of
August, she will find her schooner ladyship will stand a
poor chance with our cutters.
The Queen's Cup is to be sailed for on the 12th of
August.
At the next general meeting in July, two 100 guinea
cups are to be proposed to be voted to be sailed for.
The Earl of Durham has, we hear, applied for the
Earl of Belfast's beautiful marine villa at Cowes, for
the season.
The Russian schooner, Aline, was yesterday sold by
order of the Court of Admiralty, with her materials,
for 335/.

Mr. E. J. Stanley last night moved for a new
writ for Glasgow, in the room of Lord Wm. Bentinck,
who had accepted Abe Chiltern Hundreds.
