Mr. LEFROY moved the second reading of this Bill.
Mr. HUNIE said that the Hon and Learned Member
for Kerry intended to oppose this B 11, and had given
notice of his intention to do so. Knowing that intention,
he (Mr. Hume) should, in the absence of that Hon. and
Learned Member, move that it be read a second time this
day six months.

Mr. LEFROY insisted that this Bill was a good Bill,
and ought to receive the approbation of the House.
Mr. LEADER and Mr. MOORE O'FERRALL opposed the
Bill.

Sir R. INGLIS would vote fin. the second reading.
Mr. STANLEY recommended that the Bill should be
o•ithdrawn, because, in legislating upon that subject, no
alteration should be attempted, unitss it were a decided
improvement.

Mr LEFROY regretted that his ALtjesty's Govern-
ment abandoned the principle which they had recognised
in the House of Lords; that is, that the Protestants of
Ireland should be provided with convenient places of wor-
ship, and should have proper accommodation for the per-
forming of the church service. Although the Govern-
ment retracted its pledges, and deviated from good faith
and good policy, he would adhere to both, notwithstanding
the notice which had been given by the Member for Kerry.
Mr. STANLEY denied that he was lukewarm in his
support of the Church of Ireland. He had, indeed, been
complained of for too great a disposition to promote its
interest. When the Bill was first submitted to his Noble
Friend, he said, as he now repeated, that he did not think
it would have any important effect either for good or for
evil, and that the improvements which it contemplated
were too trifling to justify the change.
The House then divided, and the numbers were—
For the second reading 11

The other Orders of the Day being disposed of, the
House adjourned at Two o'clock.

THE ANTI-REFORMERS.—A correspondent
informs us, that at this eleventh hour, a certain batch of
simple-minded gentlemen are at the old dirty work—get-
ting up a snug Anti-Reform petition. This exposure of
ignorance and presumption is taking place, we hear, at
Hurstmoneeux, in which neighbourhood gentlemen and
farmers are called upon " just to sign this petition." We
do not recommend that the impertinent intruders should
be ill-treated, but we do counsel all men who would avoid
being laughed at as simpletons, politely to show them the
door. We really wonder these despicable Tories cannot
copy the old Roman, whose anxiety it was " to gather his
mantle round him, that he might fall with decency." We
have since heard that these very discreet personages in-
tended hawking their petition about Brighto❑ in private
circles. We should thank them for a list of the signatures
they obtain. —B righton Gazette.

THE GARRICK PAPERS.—The private cor-
respondence of DAVID GARRICK with the most celebrated
persons of his time is at length before the public. BURKE
was accustomed to style his friend, GARRICK " one of
the deepest observers of man ;" and indeed such unbounded
powers in the display of human character cannot be pos-
sessed without the most subtle knowledge of life. It was
this practical study of our nature that rendered him one of
the most instructive as well as delightful companions that
ever existed. From a perusal of the correspondence now
published the reader may not only estimate the intel-
lectual eminence of this great ornament of the British
stage, but is likewise in,roduced to the wide and brilliant
circle of his friends—which included nearly all who were
conspicuous either for rank, genius, or talent.
NOVEL MODE OF "GOING TO WAR."—
The vehicle in which the Dukes of ORLEANS and NE..
MOURS took their departure from Paris fur the field of
battle was of a very uncouth construction, and certainly
not much like the equipage which the English Dukes
Royal would have put their bodies and baggage into,
tahieonusgeh,inacne
prhoibab,ly, far more appropriate. It is an im-
something like an omnibus, and was
drawn by six horses, three abreast. It is divided into
three compartments, the first of which was occupied by
the Dukes and tbeir Aides-de-camp, the second formed a
bed-room, and the third was a kitchen, which contained
a servant of all work, and a very modest set of culinary
appdratus,
