Since we last addressed our readers, the Session of
Parliament has been brought to a close, and has, we
are grieved to say, been lamentably barren of results.
The fair prospects for the cause of Reform with which
it opened have been completely blasted by the obstruc-
tive course of policy adopted by the Lords. This
irresponsible assembly of hereditary legislators, acting
under the guidance of a man of desperate fortunes,
great talents, and no principle, have frustrated every
effort on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, backed
by the House of Commons, to introduce into our na-
tional institutions those ameliorations which the lapse
of time, and the altered state of society require. We
have neither space nor inclination to particularise the
various bills which the Lords have either entirely re-
jected, or so defaced by alteration as to render them
totally inefficient for the main pnrposes for which they
were intended. In fact the bare enumeration would
occupy a very large portion of our paper. Suffice it
to say, that every measure having for its object to re-
form abuses, to extend the rights of the people, to es-
tablish an efficient control over irresponsible power, or
in any way to further the cause of national improve-
ment, has met with determined and successful resist-'
ance. We can now fully appreciate the justice of '
Lord Brougham's celebrated remark, that if little had
been done hitherto, less would be done hereafter. That
Noble Lord saw, when others did not, the obstacles
which the House of Lords would throw in the way of
reform, and paid the penalty which generally accom-
panies the utterance of disagreeable truth by incurring
the displeasure of those for whose benefit it was in-
tended. During the last Session little has indeed been
done; and what is worse, the greater part of that little
would have been much better undone.
What! we shall be asked, is there no merit in the
Church Bill, the Tithe Commutation Bill? There is no
doubt a small portion of good in these Bills. It is a
good thing that future Bishops are to have somewhat
less pay
.than the present race. It is also good that
dioceses and parishes should be made a little less where
they are too large. But these trifling amendments have
been purchased at a price a thousand times beyond their
value. The effect of these measures is to consolidate
the worst abuses of the ecclesiastical system. The
temporal interest of churchmen has been consulted, at
the expense of the spiritual interests of the Church.
What, for instance, will our soberminded Presbyterian
readers think of that reform which allots fifteen thou-

sand pounds a year, a palace to live in, a throne to

sit upon, and a rank and station among the princes of
the land, to a so-called minister of the Gospel—a self-
proclaimed successor of apostles who earned their live-
lihood by the work of their hands—a would-be dis-
ciple of him who taught that his kingdom was not of
this world ? It must, however, be confessed; that if
wealth and pomp have been lavished profusely on one
set of Ministers, ample compensation has been made
in the penurious measure which has been meted out to
another. The real Ministers of the Gospel—the real
imitators of the apostles—those godly men who are in-
stant in season and out of season to instruct the poor,
visit the sick, and comfort the afflicted, have been
treated with truly apostolic frugality. They have been
left to sweeten their brown bread—if they can get
even that—with the testimony of a good conscience.
Talk of the corruptions of Popery, indeed ! What
can be more corrupt—what more alien from the purity
and simplicity of the Gospel than such a system as
this ? It is heathenish all over.

These church-reform measures—as they are ironi-
cally termed—are not merely objectionable in them-
selves ; they will also, if we are not greatly mistaken,
have a retarding influence on the cause of general re-
form. As long as church affairs were unsettled—while

the Tory aristocracy and the clergy had the fear of
losing the tithes before their eyes, the people had some
security for good behaviour. "If you will not consent
to such and such reforms," they might have said "look
to your tithes—down goes Diana of the Ephesians."
That check is now removed. The temporal foundations
of the church have been secured by converting the
tithes into a rent-charge on the land, and there is
therefore one motive less on the part of the Lords to
consult the wishes of the people. Indeed, from the
moment the Tithe Bill was passed, there was a percep-
tible change in the deportment of the Tory Peers.
Their champion, Lord Lyndhurst, then threw off all
disguise, and assumed, if possible, a still more over-
bearing and offensive insolence of tone,—as much as
to say, I have made good the main point—now I snap
my fingers in your face, and you at defiance.
The hostile attitude of the two Houses of Parlia-
ment is a subject of the deepest national concern. The
beautiful machinery, for the construction of which the
" wisdom of our ancestors" has been lauded to the
skies by so many eloquent tongues, when it is brought
to the test of experiment, comes to a dead stand-still ;
and we find that both we and our ancestors have been
the dupes of a fond delusion in supposing that two
equal powers can coexist in a State. We were flat-
tered with the idea that the House of Commons repre-
sented the people, and had an equal share with the
House of Lords in legislation, while in fact it repre-
sented only the Lords, was a mere duplicate of their
House, and had just as much authority as they chose
to give if. Such a system worked smoothly enough.
There was an admirable harmony between master and
servant ; but now that the servant has set up for him-
self, there is nothing but jealousy, wrangling, and
fighting between them.
The remedy fe: this evil is obvious, but unfortu-
nately not quite so easy as it is obvious. An organic
change in the House of Lords is the great desideratum ;
but how this is to be brought about, we confess we do
net see. On this point, however, we must reserve our
speculations for a future occasion. Let us, in the
meantime, hope that the friends of liberty in Spain,
who have now for the third time raised the standard of
constitutional freedom in that country, will succeed in
proving that a nation can be wisely and happily go-
verned, if not without a House of Lords altogether, at
least without an irresponsible one. The issue of the
Spanish struggle will bear powerfully on the question
of Peerage Reform in England.—Shetland Journal.

At the meeting of Middlesex Magistrates yesterday,
nothing of importance took place after our Reporter left.

HUMAN PEROCITY.—We copy the subjoined
narrative from the _Evening Post, which announces that it has
been received from credible authority. We would gladly dis-
believe it if we could, for it is of a nature to call up feelings
of shame and horror, not only against the white man, hut
against the very name and being of mankind. We would dis-
believe it, if we could ; but alas, it is but one more added to
the long black list of cruelties that the white man has in.
fficted on his red brother. We have received the following
account of a most atrocious deed from credible authority.
We record it with feelings of shame for the race of white
men. A party of Creek Indians, consisting of 11 warriors,
and about the same number of women and children, attempted,
a short time since, to pass the Georgia frontier, with a view of
joining the hostile Seminoles. They were pursued and inter-
cepted by a party of Georgians from Lee country, who attacked
them and killed nearly all the men. When it was perceivstl
that both defence and escape were hopeless, two Indian
girls, about sixteen or seventeen years of age, who are
described as being of an interesting appearance, rushed to-
ward an officer of the party, and laid cach a hand on his arm,
in token of requiring his protection. The officer understood
the sign, which is a common one among the aborigines, and
assured them that he would answer for their safety. Two of
the Indian warriors having escaped, and the officer being
obliged to go in pursuit of them, he left lilt prisoners to the
care of a man named Jenkins. During his absence this wretch
took the two girls, tied them together by the hair of then;
heads, and deliberately beat out their brains, while they begged
_
in vain for mercy in their imperfect English. In the course of
the same affair, Jenkins attempted to Lutcher one of the Indian
children, about seven or eight years of age, with a knife. The
child sprang to the arms of another of the party, who interfered
to save it, and only prevented the ruffian from executing his
purpose by putting his rifle to his breast, and threatening to
shoot him if he persisted. We are happy to learn that no other
individual of the party was in any manner concerned in these
atrocities. If the laws have the same force in that part of
Georgia which they ought to have everywhere, Jenkins will

Mrs. Graham has given a statement of the accident which
befel her while descending in the balloon with the Duke of
Brunswick, in which she says—" It may be in the recollec-
tion of the public that my ascent, which terminated so dis-
astrously, and upon which occasion I was accompanied by
his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, took place
on the 22d of August, from the Flora Gardens, Bayswater.
I was the first British female that ever ascended alone in a
balloon, and my ascent took place in the month of July,
1826, from the White Conduit Gardens, Pentonville. In
leaving the Flora Gardens the balloon took a north-east
direction, and, from the peculiar fineness of the afternoon,
we had a splendid view of the metropolis, particularly the
western parts. His Highness expressed the utmost delight,
and I pointed out to him the most interesting views. At
the Duke's suggestion we passed through, and gained an
elevation considerably above, the clouds ; and although
now at an altitude of near four miles the Duke of
Brunswick solicited me to ascend higher. To oblige
his Highness I threw out a quantity of ballast, which
caused the balloon to ascend much higher ; and both
myself and the Duke now experienced a singular sensa-
tion in the ears, caused by the rarefication of the air. I
now commenced our descent, in doing which we entered a
dense cloud which I had observed when at a great altitude,
and which I knew could not be at a very great distance
from the earth. lin consequence lowered my grappling-
iron, and at the same time requested the Duke of Bruns-
' wick to stand up in the car and suspend himself by the
hoop above our heads, and to which is attached the netting
as also the ropes of the car ; hia Highness did as I required,
at the same time I adopted the same plan. This was to
prevent our receiving any serious concussion at the time the
car should come in contact with the earth. The Duke of
Brunswick differed in opinion with me that we were so near
the earth ; but I proved to be right in my judgment, for
almost immediately afterwards the car alighted on the earth
in a field near a wood inclosure, and I saw the Duke of
Brunswick step out of the car safely upon terra firma, with
apparently not the slightest inconvenience to himself. The
moment his Highness was out of the car, and before I
could alight on the earth, the balloon rapidly ascended into
the air. I own I felt my situation rather awkward, although
I was not at all daunted, and had full possession of my
presence of mind. After the Duke of Brunswick left the
car I kept my hold of the hoop, still hanging to it ; but as
I was aware of the danger of the balloon ascending too
high with so light a weight, without the gas being let out, I
made up my mind to descend into the car and secure my
valve line, in order to effect my descent as soon as possible.
Unhappily, however, my feet were outside the car, and con-
sequently when I let go the hoop, instead of falling into the
car, I was precipitated to the earth ; and here I must distinctly
state that I fell more than three hundred yards, or one
thousand feet. Having commenced my fall in a perpen-
dicular position, I perfectly well remember that the silk
pelisse which I had on at the time became fully inflated
with atmospheric air, and prevented the rapidity of my
descent ; and I was so far conscious as to feel a thorough
conviction of my inevitable destruction, and to offer up a
prayer to the Almighty for the preservation of my hus-
band and dear children. I have a confused recollection of
my violent concussion to the earth, after which I remember
no more. I must not omit to mention that a number of
persons saw the Duke of Brunswick alight froth the car,
and the balloon again ascend with me. My fall was ob-
served by them, and Mr. Moir was the first to approach
me. He states that in my fall I turned over several
times, and on reaching the earth rebounded some feet. It
was a fortnight before I became sensible to the past event,
during which period I lay at the farm of Mr. Moir, of
Doddinghurst. In conclusion, I beg to state, in conse-
quence of several erroneous reports, that no persons (with
the exception of my husband and relatives) have visited
me at Doddinghurst, or contributed to the expenses to
which my unfortunate calamity has subjected me. The
Duke of Brunswick, the day after my accident, trans-
mitted to Mr. Graham the amount agreed upon for his
ascent, and no other claim has been made upon his High-
ness.

THE CHARLES EATON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING
CHRONICLE.

Sir—l have this morning had the honour to receive
from Lord Glenelg (in reply to my application to his
Lordship, of the 2d instant) a copy of Captain Wiseman's
letter to the Lord Mayor, which appeared in the Morning
Chronicle of Friday last, respecting the wreck of tlie
Charles Eaton, with the additional information that the
Tigris brig of war was dispatched by the Government of
Bombay to Torres Straits, and particularly to Murray's
Island, in quest of the survivors of that wreck, in March
last, which is a confirmation of the news I had previously
seen extracted from a letter in the Bombay Gazette of the
9th of that month. But as this is not the only effort which
has been made by the present Administration for the resto-
ration of the unfortunate crew and passengers of the Charles
Eaton, I consider it my duty to furnish, and shall feel
obliged to you to publish, the following statement.
Although the wreck took place so long ago as August,
1834, I never heard of the sad event till the middle of
September, 1835, when, being in London, I took the op-
portunity of attending at the Colonial-office and the Ad-
miralty, but not being so fortunate as to meet with Lord
Glenelg or Mr. Wood, lon the sth of the following month
(October), addressed the latter gentleman with the letter
which appears in Morning Chronicle, of the 23d instant,
and to which I received the following answer :

Portsmouth, Oct. 9, 1835.
" Sir—l have had the honour of receiving your letter, and.
I need not assure you of the deep sympathy which the ex-
pression of your feeling calls for. The information, how-
ever, contained in your letter is not precise enough to
enable the Admiralty to make the necessary inquiries upon
the subject, and I shall, therefore, be obliged to you to fur-
nish me with some further clue, with the object of obtain-
ing from the mate of the Augutus Ccesar mere particular
details. Perhaps you can tell me the names of the owners
of that vessel and their residence.
Your obedient servant

" C. WOOD.

"To William Bayley, Esq., Stockton."
Immediately on the receipt of the above letter I trans-
mitted to Mr. Wood the names of the owner and the Cap-
tain of the Augustus amt., with every other particular i❑ my
power; and I rejoice to say that this information was
deemed sufficient to justify the Government in complying
with the object of my application, as will appear from the
following letter :

" Downing-street, Oct. 23, 1835.
Sir—l have laid before Lord Glenelg your letter of
the 15th inst., inclosing a copy of one from Mr. W. Bay-
ley, respecting the wreck of the ship Charles Eaton, re-
ported to have been lost in Torres Straits, on its passage
i
from Sydney to Canton ; and - I am directed to request
that you will acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the
hadkd
miralty that no report of the wreck of that
reached this department, but that his Lordship
Governorija of
trans-
mitted a copy of your communication to
ithevesss
such New South Wales, with directions to
mea-
sures as might appear to him most adv
have landed
ascertain-
ing the fate of those persons who are statedtisiial4t:ftbr
from the wreck on one of the islands on -l.ie coast "of New
Holland, and for rescuing them from theta present position
if they should still remain there.
" I am, Sir,
" Your most obedient humble
s STEPHEN.
" To Sir John Barrow, Bart., &c."
Amongst many other letters of a subsequentdate on I.lis
Glenelg, stating
distressing affair, from the Secretary of
had the honour to receive one from Lord State's offiee
that the ship which conveyed the above dispatches to Sir
R. Bourke was the
Re'cooery, and that she left England
for Sydney on the 26th of it
October, 1835 • and now taf-
fords me the highest highest satisfaction to be able to add that this
ship is reported to have reached Sydney in safety, and was
in
troops from thence to India, by Torres
Straits,
to procao u
n'
March last, with commands to search the
islands in that strait for the survivors of the wreck of the
Charles Eaton, so that before the end of the present year
something definitive may be known as the result of this ex-
pedition ; but for that of the Tigris we may; perhaps, have
to wait a few months longer.
Upon facts, so creditable to any Government, as those
contained in the above statement, no comment is necessary ;
but I must be permitted to express my sense of gratitude,
(connected so closely as I am with some of the unfortunate
sufferers), as well for the promptitude which has charac-
terised the conduct of Lord Glenelg and Mr. 'Wood ever
since they heard of this heart-rending catastrophe, as for the
kind and sympathetic manner in which throughout they
have responded to the supplicating voice of " humanity and
of freedom." .

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
