This day was published, in 2 vols. Bvo. with a Fine
Portrait of Titian,
THE LIFE OF TITIAN,
with Anecdotes of the Distinguished Persons of
his Time.
By JAMES NORTHCOTE, Esq. H.A.
" In its pages, which are like an historical picture gal-
lery, figure all the great and talented men of that bril-
liant age—the magnificent Leo, the generous patron of art;
Francis the First, and the ambitious Charley the Fifth ;
Aretin the historian ; the learned Bernho ; the extrava-
gant, but exquisitely tasteful Cellini, /tr. Titian was the
companion of Princes, anti his accounts of the court of
the Emperor, and of those of Francis the First and Philip
are to the last degree interesting. The era of Titian was
indeed the Augustan age of Italian art."—Courier.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, Nov. 2e.

The Stemma took the Chair at Three o'cloek.
The appearance of the House to .day presented almost as
reinarkgble an alteration as was observable on the forma-
tion of Mr. Canning's Administration. The principal op-
position bench—the bench on the floor--was occupied by
Sir R. Peel, Mr. °minium, Lord Lowther, Sir 11. liar-
dinge, Mr. Calcraft, Mr. Ilerries, and other members of
the late Ministry. The benches immediately behind them
were filled chiefly by the supporters of those Right lion.
Gentlemen; but here and there we observed among them
some of the Members of the former opposition. Such
were Messrs. Hume, Hubhouse, John Wend, and O'Con-
nell. Sir H. Parnell, too, had not changed his place, and
consequently found himself seated among the principal Mem-
bers of the late Administration. The Ministerel benches
were but thinly attended of course, the gentlemen who are
to occupy them having vacated their seats by their accept-
ance of office. On the Treasury bench we observed Lord
Stanley, Lord Morpeth, Mr. Denman, Mr. C. Wynn,
Mr. Littleton, Mr. G. Lamb, and Mr. Spring Rice.
The latter gentleman appeared to attract general observa-
tion, in consequence, no doubt, of it being generally known
that be was charged with the duty of moving for the
new writs, by which he would officially to announce to the
House such of the Ministerial appointments as had
taken place.
Sir Rupert Peel sat in the seat usually occupied by Mr.
Brougham.
On the motion of Mr. S. RICE new writs were or-
dered for the following places :
For Northamptonshire, in the room of Lord Althorp,
who has accepted the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer.
For Cumberland, in the roam of Sir James Graham,
who has accepted the office of First Lord of the Admiralty.
For the University of Cambridge, in the room of Lord
Palmerston, appointed one of his Majesty's Principal Se-
cretaries of State.
For Preston, in the room of Edward Smith Stanley,
EN. who has accepted the cflice of Chief Secretary for
Ireland.
Fur Inverness, in the room of the Right Hon. Charles
Grant, who has accepted the office of President of the
Board of Controul.
For Aylesbury, in the room of Lord Nugent, appointed
one of the Lords of the Treasury.
Fur Tralee, in the rsom of Robert Vernon Smith, Esq.,
appointed one of the Lords of the Treasury.
For Portsmouth, in the room of Thomas Francis Baring,
Esq., appointed one of the Lord's of the Treasury.
For Youghid, in the room of General Ponsonby, ap-
pointed one of the Lords of the Treasury.
For Dover, in the room of Charles Paulett Thompson,
Esq., who has accepted the office of Vice- President of the
Board of Trade.—(llear, bear.)
Lord LOWTHEIt (who spoke from the Opposition
side) said, as this appointment has made considerable
sensation out of doors, on account of the Member for
Dover being connected with an eminent house in the
City, 1 wish to ask whether or not ho is now connected
with the house to which I allude ?
Mr. SPRING RICE—It would have been more satis-

factory if the question bad heen asked when the lion.
Member was present, that he might answer it himself.
I can, however, take on mysell to stste that my Hon.
Friend has totally discontinued to have any connection
with the commercial house alluded to.—(Hear, hear.)
For Okehampton, in the room of the Hoe. Geo. Agar
Ellis, who has accepted the office of First Commissioner
of Woods and Forests.
CASE OF DR. PHILLPOTTS,

On the motion that a new writ be issued in the room o
Sir James Graham,
Mr. PHILLPOTTS (as we were told) said he would
take that opportunity of observing that the lion. Baronet
(Sir James Graham) had given notice of a motion for an
address to his Majesty, on the subject of Dr. Phillpott«,
the rector of Stanhope, holding that living. in commend=
with the see of Exeter. He had 'toed to the lion. Ba•
ronet and to the House how anxious his relative, the ob-
ject of this motion, was that the circumstances of his case
should be clearly understood, and that his case should be
speedily decided. Ile trusted that the. House would allow
him now to read a statement, which was of no great
length, and which would put Hon. Members in possession
of the real facts of the case. He bad received the state-
ment from his relative Dr. Phillpotts. The Hon. Mem.
her then read the following statement :-..!••
The petition from the inhabitants of Stanhope to his Majesty,
praying that the rectory of that pariah may not be holden In
comnsendam with the see of Exeter, contains three allegations,
and only three of any moment. They are as follows :-
Ist. That" the population of which the rector has the spiritual
care consists of 12,0 M inhabitants."
2d. That " he delegates the spiritual care of these 12,000 souls
to a hireling."
ad, That the parish pays him a tithe of 4,0001. a year, and
atraenstittalelityiturrartoure.."
at the last census, under the most extended description which
thFveelfirt7isomanlelaeyogfedetlahtiernhaettahtleillrgaediotaitoininitlasagetigicssioueftsists of 12,000 ; whereas,
can be given to the district, the numbers were found to be no
more than 7,341.
But of these 7,341, the far greater part, no less than 4,994, are
not placed under the spiritual care of the rector,
They belong to an ancient chapeiry, locally situate indeed
within the limits of the parish of Stanhope, but placed from the
earliest times under a distinct Minister, with a distinct endow.
nient ; and for many years past an entirely independent benefice.
Within this chapeiry a second independent benefice has recently
been erected.
Over the incumbents of these two benefices, which are indeed
in his patronage, he has no controul whatever.
In short, instead of 12,000 inhabitants, as is asserted in the
petition, 2,311 only are under the spiritual care of the rector of
Stanhope.
2. The second allegation of the petition is that the rector " de-
legates the spiritual care of 12,000 inhabitants to a hireling."
It has just been shown that the care of 2,341 only can be dole.
gated by him at all.
It is delegated during the time of his necessary absence to
two resident curates, both of whom are men of education and
high character; one of them a man of independent fortune,
who has resigned a small living of which he was incumbent, in
order to become curate at Stanhope.
'1 here cumtes are not dependents ; for when they are licensed,
as they are bound to be, they are irremovable, except for some
fault of which the Bishop is the Judge ; and from his sentence
they have an appeal to the metropolitan.
In 'short, therefore, instead of "the spiritual care of IV,OOO
inhatiltants being delegated to one hireling," as is asserted in the
petition, the truth is that 2,34'7 are placed, during the absence of
the rector, lunder the charge of two licensed and responsible
curates.
3. The third allegation is, that " the parish pays to the rector
a tithe of 4,0001. per annum, and therefore has a right to the
advantages of a resident rector ;" whereas, in truth, the whole
amount of what is paid to him by the parishioners is some-
thing between 5004 and 13001. per annum, hardly a shilling in the
pound on the rental.
The great bulk of the emoluments of the living arises from a
payment not made by any Inhabitants of the parish of Stanhope,
nor by persons who can in any sense be called parishioners. It
is, in easet, an ancient donation from the See of Durham, made
long before the restraining statutes prohibited such an alienation
of its fluids. This donation contUrred on the rector of Stanhope
a portion, nominally a tenth, of the ore raised from the lead-
nunes of the See situate within the parish, which portion,
amounting in value at present to about 3,0001. per annum, is
paid by the lessees of the Bishop's mines, who live at a great
distanev from Stanhope.
There, are other considerable tnines within the parish, espe-
cially these of the Chairman of the meeting at which the yeti.
Bon was voted, but neither he nor any other proprietor, except
the Bishop, pays any thing whatever to the rector on account of
his mines.
This payment, therefore, being the bulk of the income of the
living of Stanhope, is taken from the revenues of the See of
Durham; and thus that opulent See, so often as the rectory of
Stanhope is holden In coMmendarri contributes to supply the de-
laltineunibent held Inhis succession,,living with
feetive endowment of some poorer' Bishopric; an appropriation
so fitting, that this rectory has repeatedly been made the sub-
ject of a come/cm/am,

been the invariable practice to allow those who are raised to it to
retain some or ail of their former preferments. Since the corn.
mencement of the present century, there have been three in-
r
stances of Bishops of this See holding livings ; one of them,
Bishop Courtenay, was rector of the rich and populous parish of
St. George, Hanover-square. containing 40,M. inhabitants

being situate in London, might be superintended by the
Bishop, during the months in which lie attended us Parliameet).

3. The late Bishop held a parish in Yorkshire, conta,intultB4l
inhabitants, the income of which, being smells was "'"" not
sufficient to make the revenues of the See of Exeter adequate to
the demands upon him, though he was a single man.
It must be observed, that when a poor Bishopric is to be sus-
tained by a cowenendarn, the question what that cOrmncadam
shall be, must be decided, generally, by the nature of the pre-
ferment previously held by the person nominated to the Bliimprie,
In the present instance, besides this general principle, there
were special eircumstancea of a very peculiar kind.
When the present Rector of Stanhope ell4l'iledod to the living

he built a house upoti it, at the requisition of the late Indio', of
Durham, the patron of the living, and on a plan approved and

raising him to the h,frieh of Bishops was announced to him, four
months ago, nut haVing &tilted, nor taken any step, direct or
indirect, to obtain this or any ether 'Bishopric, he immediately
felt 4t his duty to state the impossibility of his himself
of his Majesty's gracious purpose, uniess,like 114 prafteveasors,
he should be permitted to retain his living in commeittulam, there
being no other preferment vacant at the disposal of the Crown
approaching to an equivalent for the saerhica.
It was after this communication that be was informed by his
Majesty's Minister, that orders were given tot preparing the
proper instruments ,
to enable him to retain tine ne e living ; ,
sequence, no longer scrupled to accept the offered promotion.
lie trusted that this 'statement would be thought satis-
factory, and that the House would hero no more upon the
subject. He was quite sure that the Hon. Baronet had no
notion when he gate notice of the motion, of whet were
the real circumstances of tire else.
Sir H. 11ARDINGE said, that as the circumstances
attendant upon the promotion of Dr. Phlllpotte were
generally understood, he felt it necessary to say a few
words upon the subject. Ile had the authority of the
Duke of Wellington for stating, that he (the Duke of
‘Vellington) was in communication with Dr. Philipotts
upon the subject of the Catholic Relief Bill, and that Dr.
Phillpotts, instead of being, as was generally supposed, an
approver of that measure, had been, in fact, an opponent
of the measure, up to the time of the pawing of it. Ur
could farther state, on the authority of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, that it was the intention of Lord Liverpool to
raise Dr. Phillpotts to the episcopal bench. The House
should also, perhaps, be informtd, that the Duke of
Wellington made the usual poinmunicatians to the Arch-
bishop I,
of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, and that
the Noble Duke received the assent of those Right
Reverend Prelates to the propriety of the appointment of
Dr. Phillpotts to the see of Exeter. The Right Rev.
Prelates had, indeed, said that the appointment might be
unpopular in the church 1 hut, as the Noble Duke knew
that the grounds on which Dr. Phillpotts was unpopular
were altogether mistaken and erroneous, the Noble
Duke saw that this could be no objection to the ap-
pointment. Let him observe that Dr. Phillpotte head 14
children to provide fur, and that lie was compelled to lay
aside a considerable, portion of his income as a provision
for hie family, in the event of any accident happening to
hint. He did not appeal ad miscricordiam in behalf of
Dr. Phillpotts. They ought to recollect that Dr. Phill-
potte had laid out 12,000/. cm the living, and he hail all
along been promised that he should hold the living in
conunendam with the see of Exeter. lie had thought it
his duty to state this to the House, in addition to the ex-
posure which they had had from the Hon. Member op-
posite, of the misrepresentations which had gone abroad
on this subject.
