Because the Sth, 9th, 10th, 11th, /.1?t11, 18th, 14th, 15th,
16th, 17th, and 18th of such clauses contain regnlatiots of
police which the Lords consider to be sufficiently provided
for by the Act passed in the present Session of Parliament
for establishing a constabulary force in Ireland.
Because the remaining clauses contain regulations re-
specting the Corporations proposed to be tibolacd.
The Lords have taken into their consideration the rea-
sons annexed by the Commons to the proposed amendment
to clause 1, which reasons apply to other subsequent clauses
to which the Commons equally disagree.
The Lords observe that the Bill, a, passed by the Com-
mons, contained certain trusts la certain Corporations,
being trustees casually in office on a given day, notwith-
standing those persons might have ceased to hold any office,
by virtue of which they were trustees, and that the clauses
objected to were intended to prevent the detriment which
might have arisen from the provision made by the Com-
mons, that all such trusts should cease on a day named ;
and the Lord Chancellor then made such orders as he
might see fit for the appointment of trustees and the admi-
nistration of the trust estate, if Parliament should not have
otherwise directed.
The Lords are of opinion that it was inexpedient to throw
upon the Lord Chancellor a duty he could not satisfactorily
discharge, and more especially as no provision was made by
the Commons for the security of the trust property, in the
event of the duty imposed upon the Lord Chancellor not
being in any case performed.
The Lords therefore thought it desirable to continue the
several trusts in the several persons in whom they were con-
tinued by the Bill, as it passed the House of Commons,
until Parliament should otherwise provide.
• The clauses objected to contain other enactments oh-
viously necessary to meet cases which, arisi•ng out of the
proposed abolition of Corporations, had. not been provided
for by the House of Commons ; but. 'ail such enactments,
proceeding upon the same principle,
are of a character sub-
ject to the future direction of T2ari!.ament.
For these reasons the Lords insist upon these several
clauses :

Because it is necessari to provide for the security and
management of Corporate Property when, by the enact-
ments of the Bill ins;_sted upon, Corporations shall be abo-
lished.

Because it is
property in advisable to place the management of such
the local hands of Commissioners removed from
i.d'ltence, and responsible for the due performance of
"!'r unties.
Because the management of an inconsiderable property,
and the right of nomination to some offices of small value
required for the collection of such property, or otherwise
necessary, cannot, in the apprehension of the Lords, create
an influence inconsistent with the freedom and indepen-
dence of the several cities and towns in Ireland.
Because the amendment proposed by the Lords appears
to them to be necessary, with a view to the title to the
lands which the Commissioners are by that clause em-
powered to purchase.

Because the provisions to which the Commons have dis-
agreed appear to the Lords to be necessary, on account of
the peculiar circumstances of the right of patronage to
which these provisions were intended to apply.
Because there are duties to be performed by the officers
to whom that clause refers which the Lords agree with the
Commons in regarding as highly important to the mercan-
tile and commercial interests of the several cities and towns
in Ireland, and for the performance of which no sufficient
provision would otherwise be made.

LETTER OF MR. WOLFF, THE MIS-

SIONARY.

SUEZ, APRIL 13.—1 have just returned from MCiunt
Sinai, where I had been already once fifteen years ago. I
left this time twenty-eight Greek Bibles and Testaments to
the Monks upon Mount Horeb, and an English and
French Bible for travellers who may happen to visit that
spot, and also a Prayer-book of the Church of England.
The Monks there reach an age of one hundred years. I saw
one, Gedeon by name, 105 years of age. I preached to the
Bedouins around Mount Sinai.
Before I had left Cairo I saw the Viceroy several times
at his own request,, who always received me very kindly,
and gave me a strong firman for enabling me to traverse his
country without being molested, and not to impose any cus-
tom upon my eight cases with Bibles, which I carry with
me. His Highness recollected, smilingly, that he had been
obliged to exile me six years ago from Egypt for having sent
proclamations to the Mahomedazis. There are now at Cairo
some very respectable French and German gentlemen ; I
mention M. Depeil, the French Vice-Consul ; M. Fresnel,
an Arabic scholar ; and Dr. Brunner. The Roman Ca-
tholic 'missionaries at Cairo distinguished themselves most.
honourably in the time of the plague ; they went to every
Christian who was infected with it, and gave to them every
spiritual and temporal assistance in their power. Several
of those missionaries fell as victims of their zeal. The re-
spectable French gentlemen here call Egypt the Botany
Bay of France. Enfantin, the 'pow of the Saint Simo-
nians, was at Cairo when I was there, living with three
Saint Simonian women. A dirty set they are. I learn
that those women are spinsters, thirty-six years of age,
privileged flirts, and prostitutes by principle. I asked the
Consul why he does not send back those canaille to Eu-
rope. He replied, " France is glad to get rid of them." I
learn that at Jiddah is now a respectable German naturalist,
MonSieur Schamber by name.
With the kind. permission of the Rev. Mr. Lieder, the
English missionary, I preached in the English chapel,
when not only the most of the English gentlemen and,
ladies, but also the respectable French and German gen-
tlemen attended.

On my return from Mount Sinai I visited Tor, situated
near the Dim of the Bible, but the Christians there, who
are of Arab descent, are very ignorant, with whom I could
do nothing. But I met there Monsieur Botta, a French
(query, Italian) naturalist, and a son of the famous historian.
I had with him long religious conversations, for he is a
Deist.

•
To speak a little more of Mount Sinai, the convent there,
called the Convent of St. Catherine, was built in the time
of the Emperor Justinian, who sent there about 1,000
Christians from Sercia, as slaves to the convent, who were
the builders of it. The descendants of these Servians are
still them, bra their ancestors were compelled to embrace
thQ Ilality:nedan religion, at the commencement of the
Mabore.edan era, but they remain still under the protection
of 1-I.;e monks. They are called Soobiaan. Some of them
were lately baptized by the monks.
The steamer is now expected at Suez with which I
intend to go as far as Mocha, via Jiddah ;s thence cross
over to Mosawah, Adwah, Gondar, and Shoaki, in Abys-
sinia. I have with me aM. Bethlehem, a, clever Arme-
nian, who is servant to the King of Abyssinia.
YOU'S, truly--JOSEPH WOLFF.
The Rev. Joseph Woolf was at Suez on the 13th ult.,
being about to embark for Djedda, in the steam-vessel
which was then awaiting the Indian mail from Alexandria.
During Mr. Wolff's sojourn at Cairo he was elected a
member of the Egyptian Literary and Scientific Society
recently established there by the English and French lite-
rary residents of that city. He had received a pressing in-
vitation from a high quarter to visit St. Tetersburgb, in
order that he might be presented to his Majesty the Ho-
peror of Russia ; but our informant does not state whether
the Rev. Missionary had relinquished his intention of pene-
trating to Abyssinnia and Timbuctoo, in consequence.--.
