CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

Sir R. PEEL said the time had elapsed when the Noble
Lord promised to make a declaration as to the course he
meant to pursue with respect to the increased accommodation
of the Church of Scotland. Perhaps the Noble Lord would
state to the House whether it was the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to make any proposition ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was his intention to make a pro-
position en the subject, but he should not propose any motion
before Easter, but would state generally the nature of the
measure. With respect to the Act of 1707, relating to un-
exhausted tiends in parishes, some provision would be
made out of them for the endowment of large parishes
where the tiends were exhausted. He did not, however,
mean to propose those endowments out of any public fund—
(llear)—but intended that there should be endowments for
parishes in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and other places.
Sir R. PEEL suggested that it might be convenient to
Five notice of the day when he would explain the matter more
is detail, as the members of the Church of Scotland intended
to send a deputation.
Lord J. RUSSELL wished to take this opportunity of re-
:9l.ring to another subject—the Committee on Church Leases,
which stood for Tuesday next. As the Chancellor of the
Exchequer was engaged with the Pension List Committee,
he would not bring it on until a very early day after Easter.
Captain PECHELL gave notice, that on the 22d of
March he would move for a return of the slavers captured by
her Majesty's cruisers up to January, 1838.

LAW REFORMS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, if it was in.
tended to discuss the different Bills which he had introduced
with respect to escheats, and on the second reading he must
postpone them from to-morrow to a future day ; but if the
House allowed them to go to a Select Committee, and take
the discussion afterwards, he would move the second reading
to-morrow.
Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to know whether it was the
intention of her Majesty's Attorney-General to introduce any
measure with respect to Heriots?
The ATT OR NE Y- GENERA L said that the subject was
so difficult that he had found himself unable to grapple
with it.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said that the law as it at pre-
sent stood upon that subject was most ridiculous.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL entirely concurred in
what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. Ho trusted
that Right Hon. Gentlemen would allow him to name him on
the Committee on the Bills, when he had no doubt some sug-

gestion would be thrown out which would put an end to the
rtmnatits of a barbarous age.
Sir E. StiODEN said he had not yet seen the Bill, and
therefore was not in a situation to say whether he could agree
to a second reading of them wi[hout a discus.sion, He would
be prepared to say what course he would pursue to Morrow.
YEOMANRY.

Mr. GO ULBU RN understood that it was in contempla-
tion io rYduce the yeomanry cavalry ; would the Noble Lord lay
the order for such reduction on the table, before the army
estimates were considered in Committee ?
Lord J. RUSSELL would Lave no objection to produce
the order. •

CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.
Mr. C. BULLER said the Controverted Elections Bill
wis postponed when he was not in the House, he was there-
fore not answerable for its baing put off. He was very
anxious to have a general discussion on the matter, and
trusted some arrangement might be come to so as to allow
it to be brought on on Monday. It certainly could not be
taken to-mon-o.r.

Mr. F. MAUL E postponed moving for leave to bring in a
Bill for improving prisons, and prison discipline till a future
day, as the House did not seem inclined to go on with much
business.

SHERIFFS OF SLIGO AND LOUTH.

Colonel PERCE VAL begged to ask a question of the
Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland. Ile had stated last
week that the Lerd Lieutenant had :felt it his duty to cancel
the appointment of Mr. Howley, the High Sheriff of Sligo,
because he bad appointed the apprentice of a solicitor as his
sub-sheriff, that apprentice having attained the age of 22, and
being in possession of landed property in the County of Sligo.
He wished to know whether the same conduct would be
pursued towards the High Sheriff of Louth, Mr. Gesler,
who had also appointed as his sub-sheriff an attorney's
apprentice eighteen or nineteen years old. Mr. Gesler bad
not been one of the three gentlemen named by the Sheriff,
and he hoped the Noble Lord would not object to give him a
copy of the correspondence relative to the cancelling of Mr.
Howley's appointment.
Lord DIOR PET H said Mr. Gesler had been appointed be-
cause the three gentlemen returned by the Judges, either could
not be found, or had refused to act. No information had reached
him relative to the Sub-Sheriff of Louth, and he had no ob-
jection to furnish the Hon. and Gallant Member, with all the
correspondence on the subject.
Lord SANDON brought in the Grand Junction Railway
Amendment Bill, which was read a first time.
Mr. HE RRIE S begged to ask when the Controverted
Elections Bill would be proceeded with.
The answer of Mr. C. BULLER was not heard in the
Gallery.

OBITUARY.

Died, at seven o'clock this morning, Mary, the wife of George Henry
Ward, Esq., of Northwood-park. While living she was universally re..
spected ; her charity was unbounded; and as a wife, friend, and indul-
gent mistress, she will be long and sincerely lamented. Should Mr.
Ward die without issue, the whole of the vast estates he inherits from
his father go to the eldest son of Wm. Ward, Esq., the late Member
for the city of London.

BEAUTIES and MISERY of IRELAND.

The misery, if you chance to be an Editor, consists in the
probability of being scalped. This will be seen by the follow-
ing information which occupies a prominent place in the
columns of certainly not the coarsest or worst conducted
Journal in Dublin :

" We perceive that the silly and malicious creature who
does the Evening Mail, has been for some time mouthing at the
Member for Kinsale. 'We shall pull the fellow's scalp over his
ears on Thursday."
The polite notice of an intention " to pull the fellow's scalp
over his ears" was occasioned by the following extremely be-
coming and very pretty personal allusion to a Liberal Mem-
ber of Parlinment. Its beauties may be thought by some
persons to be less conspicuous than its vulgar scunility ; but
being manutactured by the Mail, no doubt the article is of
the right sort and beautifully Conservative. Here it is ;
judge for yourselves, courteous readers:

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.
N‘TOOD, GROTE, PATTISON, and CRAW-
FORD.
At a Meeting of the Petition Committee and others, Electors of
London, hastily convened at the Office of the City of London
Reform Club, 72, 13asinghall-street, on Wednesday Evening, the
7th inst.,

JOHN TRAVERS, Esq., in the Chair,
Resolved unanimously,—l. That this Meeting learn with satis-
faction the decision this morning of the Committee appointed by
the House of Commons to try the merits of the London Petition ;
viz., " That Sir Matthew W nod, Bart., William Crawford, Esq.,
James Pattison, Esq., and George Grote, Esq., are duly elected to
serve in the present Parliament for the City of London," and con-
gratulate the constituency at large upon the success which has at-
tended their combined efforts in defence of the purity of election,
and in the advocacy of Liberal principles.
2. That the allegations of bribery, perjury, and other corrupt
practices contained in the petition against the sitting Members,
have been, as they are now proved to be, false and unwarranted;
the evidence offered in support of such allegations being of the most
infamous character, unworthy of the sanction of honourable men
of any party, and disgraceful to its promoters and abettors.
3. That this meeting is deeply sensible of the valuable services
rendered by William Harrison, Charles Austin, William Page Wood,
and Edward Rushton, Esquires, the counsel engaged on behalf of
the Committee and hereby offers to them respectfully the thanks
of the whole Liberal constituency.
4. That this meeting desires to record its gratitude to Joseph
Parkes, Esq., the Parliamentary Agent appointed to defend the
Sheriff's return, for the ardour and disinterestedness with which
he has devoted himself to the attainment of that object, and the
skill and ability manifested by him in the conduct of the whole
proceeding.
5 That the thanks of this meeting are also due to William
Trott, Esq., for the talent and industry with which he has assisted
Mr. Parkes in the general investigation, and for his uniform and
unwearied devotion to the cause of Reform in this City.
JOHN TRAVERS, Chairman.
It was further resolved unanimously—That the unabated zeal
and disinterested patriotism manifested on the occasion of the late,
as well as former elections, by our Chairman, John Travers, Esq.,
and his unwearied exertions in the cause of freedom and good go-
vernment, call from this meeting the warmest and most heartfelt
expressions of gratitude, respect, and affection.

40 W., while lying to in a heavy gale from the westward, a tremendous
sea struck her, which carried away the bowsprit to the night heads,
starting the stem, washing overboard and drowning four men, sweeping
the decks of every thing fore and aft—boats, bulwarks, spars, and cook-
house, and hove the ship on her beam ends. While in that state her
main and mizen tops were washed away by the sea. She righted on the
other tack, and part of the pig.house was found in the foretop. All
the cabin furniture, compasses, charts, &c. were destroyed, and the
the ship leaked so much (they had three feet of water in the cabin),
that they were obliged to throw overboard great part of the cargo.

TEETH.

R• GREIG THOMSON, SURGEON-
DENTIST, begs to call Public attention to a recent dis-
covery of I NCOBRO LABIA,: TEETH, which, from their perfect resem.
blance to natural ones, and their superiority in point of cleanliness and
durability (to human teeth artificially mounted), he can with confidence
recommend.
The prejudice which exists against Artificial Teeth, in consequence of
thoir being frequently lo badly fitted as to render them a source of great
pain and annoyance, induces him publicly to announce, that his peculiar
method of supplying deficiences precludes the possibility of a misfit. So
confident is lie on this all_important point that, when respectable refe-
rences arc given, NO FEE is required until all the purposes of mastica.
tion and articulation are satisfactorily answered.

TRALEE.

The Committee were engaged in the arguments which arose upon
the first vote, of J. Brian, which raised the question of the validity of
the certificate of registry, and which will decide some sixty votes.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME.

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock.
Mr. TALBOT then proceeded at great length to address the Committee
with respect to the evidence tendered on behalf of the sitting Member,
and submitted that the petitioner had completely failed to establish any
case of bribery against Mr. Miller or any authorised agent of his. He
submitted, further, that the charge against Mr. Miller being a highly
criminal one, the Committee must view the evidence which was before
them in that light, and give his client the benefit of any discrepancies
which existed, or any doubts to which these discrepancies might give
rise.

Mr. AUSTIN was heard in reply. He proceeded to point out the various
acts of bribery which had been established by the testimony of several
witnesses, and contended that there was ample proof of agency as re.
garded Mr. Mason. He denied that the charge was of the criminal na.
ture which his Learned Friend had stated. The charge was one which
merely affected the scat of Mr. Miller, and that charge had been fully
substantiated.

YOUGHAL.

Several witnesses for the petitioner having sworn yesterday that the
house of Edmund Bowler, in Friar-street, Youghal, was not of the value
of more than 71., it was this day proved that the voter received more
than 10/. a year from lodgers, independently of the apartments occupied
by his own family, and he paid 91. a year rent for the house. The vote
was allowed.

The vote of Henry Keating was next objected to on the same ground,
of insufficient value of holding. Witnesses for the petitioner swore
that the premises held by the ♦oter were not worth ten pounds a
year, The premises consisted of a blacksmith's.forge, dwelling-house,
and a coal yard, capable of holding 200 tons, upon a public quay, where
lighters unload and a considerable traffic is carried on. For the sitting
Member witnesses were called to show that the holding was worth snore
than ten pounds a year.
The vote was struck off, whereby the Tory (petitioner) was again in a
majority.

HATTON-GARDEN.

BENEFITS C lETIES. —Wednesday Frances Marlin, directress
ar,d stewardess of a benefit society, entitled " The Unlied
Sisters of Fl icndship," held nt the Cheshire Cheese public-
house, Charles street, Somers' Town, was summoned before
Messrs. ROGERS and BENETT by Ann Grace, an cldelly widow,
who was so exceedingly ill that she was allowed a chair dur-
ing the investigation, to show cause why they refused to pay
18s., and to allow her the benefits arising out of the society.
The complainant had been several ye.lrs connected with the
society, and had regularly paid up her accounts; but she was
taken very ill, and she made her claim upon the funds for the
usual allowance of 6s. per week ; but they refused to pay her
the above sum, stating that she had done work.
The directress, being called upon, stated that one of the
stewardesses called at the house of the complainant, and found
her absent from home, and she ascertained that she had gone
to the workhouse to receive her pension.
Mary Williams, the stewardess, an aged woman, was sworn.
Mr. ROGERS—Pray are you a widow ? Mary Williams
(laughing)—Not quite.
Mr. ROGERS begged of her not to make a jest of the pro-
ceeding, but to be serious.
She then stated that she called at the complainant's house,
and found that she had gone to the workhouse to receive her
pension.
Mr. ROGERS—I think you are very arbitrary. He perused
the articles, and found that the 10th article allowed 6s. per
week to sick members. The 19th stated that they were sub-
ject to exclusion if they were found at work or imposing upon
' the Society, and there was no arbitration clause.

Mr. BE:iETT-She was not found at work? Directress—
No ; but the stewardess compelled me to come here it all
rester with them.

Mr. BENETT-Then what do they call work ? Directress
—Walking to the Ivorkhouse for the pension.
Mr. BENETT-Your articles do not exclude members from
receiving parish relief? Dir •ctress—No, Sir.
_ . . .

Mr. bE.NETT said they were performing an act of injustice
and they were making their society one of oppression, instead
of one of benefit.

Mr. ROGERS concurred with him, and ordered that the com-
plainant should be instantly reinstated, and her claim of I si.
immediately paid, which was agreed to, and the parties quitted
the office.

SURREY SESSIONS.

Yesterday Wm. Williams, John Fusty, and Frederick Rowls, three
chimney-sweepers, were indicted for stealing three pennyworth of
sprats from a little boy at Richmond.
The boy had been sent out by his father, an old man in ♦ery indigent
circumstances, to " turn a penny," at he called it, by the sale of a few
sprats. The boy took up his stand at the door of a house at Richmond,
and being night lie had a lightest candle stuck in the middle of the
fish, to exhibit the article to his customers. While he was thus em-
ployed the three prisoners went up to the basket, and having, as it was
described, " doused the glim" (extinguished the candle), then made A
grab at the sprats," and succeeded in carrying off nearly the whole
