BANK OF FRANCE.

The Journal des Debats of Saturday has published the
annual report made by the Directors of the Bank of Fran e
to the shareholders, at a meeting which was held by them
on the 27th ult. The Duke de Gaete, Governor of the
Batik, opened the business of the day by a summary ac-
count of the affairs of the Bank, and informed the share-
holders that two of its late Directors, M. Lafitte and
M. Vassal, having resigned—the former on account of his
acceptance of the office of Minister of Finance, and the
latter on account of his recent commercial misfortunes—
M. Audenet and M. Lafond have' been appointed to fill
the vacancies created by those resignations. The auditors'
detailed report was then read, from which it appears that
the amount of discounts in 1830 have been as follows :
Amount discounted. Yielding.
Francs. Francs.
First half-year 275,617,437
Second half-year 341,876,996

Total discounts .......... 617,493,733 Total profit .... 4,0121,068
In 1829, the total amount discounted was 434,303,231
&anal, which yielded 2,585,553 profit, being 1,435,515
francs less than this year. This difference is reported as
the consequence of the great commercial distress which
has prevailed in France since the month of August last,
and the readiness with which the Bank has been induced
to afford all the relief that was compatible with the secu-
rity of its own interrets, and allowed by its statutes. But,
notwithstanding all the caution that could be used, losses
have been unavoidable, and the profit and loss account
stands debited for the first half-year in 33,830 francs, and
for the second half-year in 750,000 francs. The auditors
allude to the advances lately made to the house of Jacques
Lafitte and Co., and express the fullest confidence in the
adequacy of the security received for the loan : they assure
the shareholders that by thus contributing to uphold that
eminent house, they had saved from ruin not only itself,
but an immense number of individuals and establishments
throughout France, whose existence depended entirely
on its solvency. The greatest amount of liank notes in
circulation last year has been 238,000,000, and the lowest
amount 212,000,000 of francs. On the lst of January,
1830, the number of shareholders was 3,631, and on the
31st of the following December it had increased to 3,691.
During that space 5,300 shares changed hands by sale,
and 2,562 shares in consequence of the death of 93
holders. The result of this movement exhibits a dividend
of 42 francs per share for the first six months of the year,
and of 43 francs per share for the subsequent six months,
making the annual dividend of 1830 amount to 85 francs,
besides reserves of 12i francs per share. lu the whole of
1829, the dividends amounted to 64 francs, and the re-
serves to 2 franca per share. The increase of profit last
year has therefore been of 21 francs.

THE ARMY.

( From the Limerick Evening Post.)

The 37th Regiment has completed its establishment.
Fifty-five remarkably fine young men have been enlisted at
head-quarters, Waterford. We believe that the 37th is
the first regiment that has completed its establishment.
Lieut. Caldwell is at present Acting Paymaster of the
99th depot, at Clare Castle, in the room of Lieut.
Wharton, deceased. It is supposed that the next Gazette
will announce his official appointment in this department,
which would be highly satisfactory to the officers and men.
There are four recruiting patties from the 99th
stationed in England, from which the regiment has not
yet received a single recruit.
On Monday morning the recruiting detachments of the
4th, 11th, and 13th Dragoons, and the 16th Lancers, who
have been recruiting for some time past in London,
marched for Maidstone.

A troop of the 7th Hussars arrived at Armagh on
Thursday, from Dundalk, commanded by Captain Vivian.
The battalion of Royal Artillery at Athlone, under
command of Lieut.-Colonel Douglas, is ordered to Charle-
mon t, Moy.

11I'Gregor has taken the command ofihe
depot of the 93d Highlanders, at Brecon, South Wale E.—.
the detachment at Newport was replaced last week.

THE SNOW STORM.

(From the Scofenzan.)

At the dawn yesterday, a thaw commenced in this city,
and appearances for several hours warranted the Lope that
the storm was nearly at an end. By noon, however, the
flakes of snow became unusually large—the wind rose to
a hurricane, and the air was so dark that no person could
see farther than a hundred yards distance. About sunset
the wind moderated, but the snow continued to fall till a
late hour last night. During the day the town had a
striking appearance. Every window, every chink and
cranny, were filled with snow, and it lay piled along the
pavements in continued heaps, varying in depth from two
to four feet. All out-door business was of course nearly
suspended. There are grounds to apprehend that this
storm has extended to the pastoral counties in the north,
and that the great ewes will have suffered severely. It
has been very severely felt in
.Perthshire. On Wednesday
the Donne and Callander post was obliged to return,
having with great difficulty pushed forward, on a stout
horse, about four miles from Stirling.
The guard of the Tally-Ho' coach, a strong and resolute
man, though having the best of horses, on Tuesday found
it impossible to drive his coach from Dundee to this city.
In a private letter to a friend, he says, " I have been
obliged to atop at Ballmulo. In many places on the road
the snow is ten feet deep ; northwards it is still deeper.
Besides the injury done to the vessels, I have been informed
by a friend that it will require upwards of 2,0001. to re-
pair the damage done to the harbour of Dundee by the
frightful tempest of Tuesday night. The storm continues,
and in consequence I cannot tell when I shall reach Edin-
burgh."

During the afternoon of yesterday, the London mail of
Wednesday reached the Post-office, and the following mails
were due at five o'clock, viz.—two London, one North,
four Dumfries, two Carlisle, and one Glasgow. Besides
one London mail, there arrived yesterday—one Carlisle
and two North, at forty-five minutes past one and
one at eight A. 31. The Glasgow mail arrived this forenoon.
The storm raged with great violence till three o'clock
this morning. The snow was so heavy at that hour, that
it stopped the clock on the Canongate gaol.
The storm has been severely felt in Leith. The wind,
or rather the hurricane, being from the cast, there were on
Thursday certainly not less than 150 vessels of various
descriptions driven into the roads. On Thursday morning
the brig Diamond, Crosbie, with ballast, belonging to
Sunderland, while running for the harbour, went on the
Black Rocks. The crew saved themselves in the long-
boat. Yesterday the wind was so strong from the S.E.
that not a vessel attempted to leave the harbour. It is re-
ported that several vessels have been driven ashore at
various places in the Firth.
It is said the guard and driver of the Dumfries and
Edinburgh mail, finding it impossible to get on with either
coach or horses, set off from Moffat on foot, with the mails
strapped upon them ; the next morning, Wednesday, the
bags were found tied up, as if to attract notice, upon one
of the directing posts on the road, but no trace of the men
had been discovered, though much search had been made
for them. It was betwixt Moffat and Tweedshaws, on a
wild part of the road, that the mail-bags were found.
Am.—On Monday snow began to fall and continued
without intermission throughout the whole day. The
snow is now so deep on the Portpatrick road, that the
Irish mail had to be carried between Stranraer and Girvan
on a man's back. We understand the roads to the south
are almost itnpasaille.—Ayr _Advertiser.
ABERDEEN, FEE. 2.—On Monday night the snow
fell to a great depth, and in consequence the south mail
was detained on Tuesday about four hours beyond the usual
time of arrival, and set out fur the north with an addi-
tional pair of horses.
The London mail of Monday reached Durham from
London, without meeting with any particular delay._.
Between Durham and Newcastle the roads were heavy
with fresh snow. About two miles north of Morpeth the
coach was abandoned, and the mail bags were carried on
horseback, together with the curricle bags, to Alnwick,
where they arrived at five minutes past five in the even-
ing, and set off next morning at forty minutes past one
o'clock. At Berwick they were detained half an hour
for horses. Three miles north of Belford the roads were
blocked up so completely, that they were obliged to he
conveyed over fields. From Belford they were carried ou
five horses to Cockburn's Path ; and from thence to Edin-
burgh in a post-chaise, where they arrived between three
and four o'clock. The Tuesday's mail reached Benning-
ton little after the usual time. Between Bennington and
York the roads were very heavy with recent snow ; and
from Durham to Newcastle they ware almost impassable.
• Five miles north of Morpeth the coach was left sticking
in the snow, and the bags were carried on horseback
through fields. Considerable delay was occasioned in cut-
ting hedges and fences. They reached Belford at six
o'clock in the evening; from Belford they were forwarded
to Dunbar on horseback, and from thence to Edinburgh in
a post-chaise, where they arrived at nine o'clock yesterday
evening. The Edinburgh letter+ and papers were unfor-

His Lordship announced on Tuesday various plans
of commutation, all of them simple, and some
of them very good. The Bishop of London
has brought an old house about the ears of
himself and brother Diocesans, in the way lie
accounted for non-residence. Lord King and
Lord Radnor, on Tuesday night, both' pressed him
very hard on the subject of some of his allegations
on Monday. Would it be believed that the Right
Rev. Father in God actually stated, " that if their
Lordships wished to obtain accurate! information
on the subject of lay impropriations, he would beg
leave to recommend to their perusal a book of Bi-
shop Kennet, written upwards of a century
ago." The vicarages now, in consequence of the
change introduced into agriculture by the culti-
vation of turnips and other green crops, have, in
many cases, become of more value than the Recto-
ries, so that any person who shall, in journeying
through the country, inquire into the condition of
the poor vicarages alluded to in Kennet's book,
would find them worth from 4001. to 1,0001. a year.
Kennet's book is only now valuable as a record of
the corruptions and abuses introduced at various
times into the Catholic Church, most of which the
Church of England has faithfully retained, while, as
Bishop Burnet observes, the Church of Rome has
got rid of many of them since the Reformation.
Lord Caernarvon " deprecated in strong terms
the practice of his Noble Friend making, Hight
after night, in these times of troubles and distur-
bances, such attacks on the Church." Will
his Lordship ensure a commutation without a
little friendly agitation ? His Lordship says,
the Clergy have now become so good, that it is
wrong to disturb their quiet. Their virtues, it
would then seem, improve by the difficulties of the
times. The Archbishop of Canterbury, on Monday
night, also deprecated this sort of skirmishing; but
Lord King has repeated his determination to harass
the enemy de die in diem until they were forced to
a pitched engagement. It is very evident that the
heads of the church will contest the field gallantly;
and if assurance and assertion had any power to
save, it is not impossible that they would be able to
obtain a capitulation on terms more favourable to
themselves than to the country. On Monday, for
instance, no sooner were the words pluralists and
non-residence pronounced, when up arose boldly two
of the most learned Bishops on the bench, and pro-
tested (seriously) against the mistaken notion, that
these vices of the establishment could be either at-
tributed to, or remedied by, the Hierarchy ! Oh,
no !—they were vices of the church, as incurable as
its poverty; and until that was relieved by the res-
toration of the tithes in the hands of lay impro-
priators, parishes must be content to maintain
clergymen whom they never see, and even club
the tenth part of their produce—four or five
together—to secure their aliquot part of a no-
minal, invisible, and unavailable incumbent.
Nay, they ought not only to be content—they
ought, according to Dr. Blomfield, to conceive
themselves very much obliged by the Spiritual Bench
in this respect, to whom alone they are indebted for
the discipline of the Church having been sublimated
to the maximum point of perfection which circum-
stances permit. We suppose that, had it not been
for their own personal abstinence, and their uncom-
promising restriction of their superior brethren, be-
nefices would have been lumped together in whole
Archdeaconriee, or in Deaneries at the least. The
Lay Lords Were apparently struck dumb ; but
whether from a nascent feeling of gratitude, exceed-
ing amazement, or some other less complimentary
feeling, at this novel developetnent of the services of
the Hierarchy, we do not presume to conjecture.
Last night the allusion to lay impropriators was re-
peated; but no mention of ogler impropriators. The
number of impropriators is about 4,800, of which
more than a third form a snug item in the revenues
of the Bishops and dignified Clergy themselves. The
whole number of dignitaries is about 600, of whom
200 comprise, the Bishops, Deans, and Chapters;
and by the latter alone are the profits of the 1,600
clerical impropriations exclusively engrossed. Thus,
to swell the otherwise suberabutalant wealth of
the superior Clergy, 1,600 of the best livings in
the kingdom are stripped of every shilling, except a
small endowment, varying from five to ten pounds
a year. For the last 130 years, Royal and
Parliamentary bounty has been ineffectually strained
to repair this sanctified fraud; and as the beads of
the Church still charge all its abuses against the
poverty entailed upon it by the abstraction of its
revenues, might not their piety and patriotism sug-
gest a partial restitution to an extent which they
could easily compass—namely, to that of their own
embezzlements ? 'At all events, motives of decency
as well as policy, ought to restrain them from talk-
ing about the spoliation of the Church, when such
a handsome dividend of the plunder is consecrated
to their own use and benefit, Impoverished, how-
ever, as a great number of benefices are, it is rank
hypocrisy to make them an apology for pluralism
and non-residence. The poorer livings are those
which offer the most frequent examples of resi-
dence, and are not those which are courted by men
who have the opportunities to become pluralists.
The gregarious appearance of the great R.'s in
the clerical list would convince any man that fat
rectories have the greatest tendency to amalga.
mate. 'The licence with regard to Church pre-
ferment is practically such, that there is no more
restriction on its enjoyment with relation to the
value, than to the number of benefices ; and as
the same sort of influence is exclusively available to
procure good livings, as to procure a great many,
the same sort of people are found to unite the
magnum and maul/um of Ecclesiastical patronage in
their ()am persons. The truth is, that pluralism is
not a mere vulgar crimein the Church, rendered ex-
cusable in the poor creatures who are induced to
perpetrate it by their necessities. It is a fashionable
vice peculiar to the higher orders in the Church ;
and we must confess that they contrive to make it
in some measure respectable, by never exercising it
in petty indulgences. What Bishop or Dean of
Chester would sin for a paltry vicarage ? Yet in
those capacities, neither did Dr. Blomfield abhor
Bishopsgate, nor Dr. Phillpotts eschew the Rectory
of Stanhope. The real state of the case is this :
When the superior Clergy affect a vehement com-
miseration for the condition of the poorer benefices
as an argument for pluralism, it is for the sake of
the general rule which admits their engrossing of
the more wealthy.—Morning Chronicle.
Whatever may be the final result of the agitation
in Ireland for the repeal of the Union, we cannot
but consider the debate which took place on Tues-
day night, or rather yesterday morning, in the House
of Commons, on the motion of Mr. O'Gorman
Mahon, as calculated to do great good—first, by
furnishing the English public with a specimen, on
English ground, of what sort of material Irish agita-
tion is made up ; and, secondly, by showing the
friends of order in Ireland the firm support which the
Government is determined to afford them, and, the
enemies of all order, the dreadful calamity which they
would inflict on their country by exciting the poor
and ignorant people to commit an act of rebellion.
With regard to the first point, the speech of Mr.
O'Gorman Mahon furnishes a happy, though by
no means a very powerful, specimen of the sort of
oratory which tells so well on the "finest pisantry"
in the world. It was a regular omnium gatherum
concern, and contained materials in abundance for
the declamation of the orator, and the more sober
inquiry of the philosopher, for six months to come.
—The object of the Hon. Member was to impress
his fellow Members with a sense cf the necessity
of repealing the Union ; but seeing that his appeal
was not drunk in with much avidity by the ears
.of
the House, he very dexterously treated it to a dis-
sertation on Irish poverty—the effects of snow in
rendering people dissatisfied, and various other mat-
ters,—all of which, however, failed in producing any
particular delectation in the House. The interludes
between the different portions of the Hon. Member's
speech were much better matiaged ; and, indeed,
it is but justice to him to observe, that what with

1 he Irish agitators, now under indictment for se-
dition, seem to be rather " fidgetty" about the
matter, and are beginning to writhe and wriggle,
and shift from one leg to another, like broken-down
or over-driven beasts. O'Connell and, we believe,
most of his companions, had demurred to several
counts of the indictment, admitting, by implication,
th..t they were guilty of the acts charged against
them, bat denying (hy their demurrer) that such
alts were illegal. Mr. O'Connell had all along
treated the Lord Lieutenant's proclamations as illegal,
and had boasted of keeping within the letter of the
law in every one of his own proceedings ; and in
that notorious " letter" to the people, for which the
printers of the Freeman's Journal and of the Morn.
ins Register were served by the Attorney-General
with attachments, Mr. O'Connell, or whoever wrote
wider his name, flourished away, and bullied about
the arrests of himself and his brother agitators beng
contrary to law, and so forth. Next came the ne-
cessity of making real fight, and of handling some
weapons of more prowess in the Court of King's
Bench than abuse and foul scurrility. Pleading guilty
to -certain counts of the indictment, they demurred,
as above described, to several others. The demurrers
would be decided by the Learned Judges, who by
possibility might not take their construction of the
Act of Parliament (10 George IV.) from the
test-book of an O'Connell's speech. Now the ef-
fect of a decision adverse to the traversers in that
case would be, that any trial before a Jury would
become superfluous, and that sentence of fine and
imprisonment might at once be pronounced by the
Court. We need not say that such a result of the
manifold bras adoes launched by Mr. O'Connell
against the law, and the King's Government, would
hardly serve the reputation, or political influence, or
general projects, of that learned but very unquiet
gentleman : as the day of argument drew near, there-
fore, it is little wonder if be and his associates gave
way to troublesome forebodings, which exhibited
themselves in a simultaneous effort to change the
whole form of their defence, to withdraw the de-
murrers, and plead " Not guilty" to every part of
the indictment. The gain by such an operation
-.night he twofold—lst, as the Attorney-General has
stated, they would be enabled to put off their trials
by one shift or another, until next June, or even
November term. 2d. They would have all the in-
termediate time to continue and extend their turbu-
lent practices, until they had brought the country to
such a pitch of excitement, that no Jury would
dare to find them guilty, at the risk of having
their own throats cut, or their houses burned
over them while they slept. From the Dublin
Papers of Sunday it appears that the motion
was granted by the Court under certain con-
ditions, calculated to defeat the purpose of inde-
finite delay. Meanwhile the Priests have found it
expedient to trump up some defence for themselves,
against the very general and very natural charge of
being concerned in this conspiracy for the subversion
of the realm. A letter, signed " Senex," appeared
in the Dublin Evening Post last week,—a signature
which is assumed by the Evening Mail to repre-
sent that of Dr. Doyle, the Jesuit Bishop of Ferns.
In what relation the writer may stand to Dr. Doyle
we know not ; but that he is of the school of Loyola
there seems no fair reason to doubt. The letter
is a shuffle in every part of it. It admits—what,
fter a former publication of Dr. Doyle himself, could
be denied without raising a shout of laughter
every where—that there is " a coincidence of opi-
nion on many subjects between Mr. O'Connell and
great number of the Irish (not Irish-Catholic)
clergy, but asserts that there is between them no
bond cf preconcerted agreement,—no
common design,—no purpose of separation, or sedi-
tion, or rebellion,—or ascendancy, religious or ec-
clesiastical.'' Verily, we do not believe that any
" bond" upon such a subject, or for the accomplish-
ment of such ends, was ever signed. and sealed be-
tween the heads of the Popish Church and those of
the demagogue state in Ireland. We do from our
hearts disclaim the suspicion that so much as a single
sheet of parchment was ever applied to any use so
extremely rash and perilous. No, the " bond of al-
liance" is tacit—the plain consequence of the separa-
tion between the countries is quite manifest enough
to supersede the necessity of many pros or cons
between the leader of the mob who would become
its temporal dictator upon the overthrow of the
King's dominion throughout the island, and the
aspiring chieftains of a Church which, on the ruin
of that now established (an event as often threatened
by Mr. O'Connell as among the most savoury fruits
of the revolution) must, by the very nature of things,
become a prominent, if not a paramount, authority,
over a less than half-civilized, sanguine, passionate,
and grossly superstitious people. " Senex" flatly
refuses, on the part of the Catholic Priests, to con-
cur in an address, emveying sentiments of loyalty
to the Lord-Lieutenant, or disavowing any sympathy
with the disturbers of the public peace; and why ?
For the very statesmanlike and enlightened reason,
that Mr. O'Connell is now " odious to the Govern-
ment," and in difficulties, end that it would be un-
generous in the priesthood to desert a friend under
misfortune. The meaning of all this sentimental
fiddle-de-dee is, that the Jesuit pretends to see the
question of Union or no Union between the coun-
tries in no other light but as one affecting the
personal interests of Mr. O'Connell !—that he re-
gards the peace of society as nothing—the advan-
tages of employing the spiritual influence of the
Clergy in the cause of public tranquillity and
order as nothing—the vindication of his own
fame and that of the whole Catholic Hierarchy
of the kingdom as nothing—in comparison
with that dogged fellow-feeling; which actuates
most culprits towards a police-beset brother.
" I 'peach or split while Dan's in the bilboes ! I'll
be --- if I do," quoth the Jesuit Bishop. We
can, however, congratulate the country, as indeed we
have done already, that the lay Catholics, the inde-
pendent gentlemen of that communion (and surely
it is virtue to dare to be independent in the face of
a tyrant mob) have pronounced themselves freely
on Mr. O'Connell's conduct, whatever may be said
or left unsaid by the Jesuits. On the proceedings
in Parliament on the motion of the Member for
Clare last Tuesday, it is needless to make many ob-
servations. What may have been the real object of
the lion. Gentleman, we certainly cennot under-
stand from his reported speech ; but if it was by
an appalling picture of Irish impatience under the
existing connexion with this country, to intimidate
the Ministers, the Parliament, or the nation, into a
passive breaking up of the British empire, by op-
posing no further obstacles to a repeal of the Union,
we believe that the Hon. Gentleman must already
have found out his mistake. We ought to mention
Lord Althorp's assurance, that much as the Govern-
ment, of which his Lordship is a member, may de-
precate the horrors of a civil war, it will prefer civil
war to a dismemberment of the empire. On that
declaration, echoed as it was by the whole House of
Commons, with we apprehend but one or two ex-
ceptions, we rely hi perfect security.—Times.
Accounts to the 27th ultimo from Warsaw, in the
Ilarriburg Papers, settle the question of Polish re-
sistance, and leave no hope of accommodation till after
the decision of victory. The Diet, on the 25th,'
declared that the throne was vacant, or, in other
words, deprived the Emperor Nicholas of the Crown
of Poland. This important step was not taken
but on tine most mature deliberation, and after the
most zealous efforts to reconcile the rights of the
dynasty with those of the nation. The Provisional
Government, desirous of aveiding a rupture with
their King, though resolved to secure the iede-
pendence of their country, sent envoys to St. Pe-
eersburgh to explain the conduct of those who had
expelled their King's brother, and to settle the
basis on which their future obedience was to rest.
The Emperor refused to see these envoys, unless
they disclaimed their mission from a " rebel" au-
thority, and acknowledged their continued subjec-
tion to the Czar. Nothing was accordingly done to
reconcile the Polish people to their former Sovereign.
The 'Emperor, in the pride of absolute power, re•

Sir E. 13. Sugden said he could, if he had an oppor-
:unity, give very weighty reasons against such proposed
transfer.

" Thu Lord Chancellor said he should have an oppor-
:unity of doing so before any change was made."

We do not see why the commutation of tithes is at
variance with the phrase, " the tax of tithes;" for
a tax in one shape may be commuted for a tax in
another ; and a variable tax may be commuted for a
permanent one. 'With respect to the influence of a
commutation of tithes on rent, it is probable that,
in roost cases, the landlord would be the greatest
gainer. But the great advantage would be certainty.
The tenant who takes his farm under an agreement
with a clergyman,who exacts much less than his due,
finds himself occasionally ruined by having to deal
with a more rigorous successor. Of rent the tenant
has no right to complain. It is the share of the
produce after deducting the charges of cultivation,
and the usual profit of stock. But the tenth of the
gross produce may leave nothing for farmer or land-
lord, and may even leave to the farmer less than is
necessary to pay for labour. A farm may be Worth
very little till a large sum is laid out ou its
improvement. The landlord allows for the. out-
lay ; the tithe-holder does not. The reference
to France would be more instructive if it were
shown that the cultivation of France is worse than
before the repeal of tithe. The cultivation of France,
from various causes, was in general bad before the
revolution. The Flemish husbandry is better than
our own; and there are no tithes in Belgium; it
eras also better than our own while there were
tithes. Tithes may be productive of much evil
without preventing all agricultural improvement,
and there may be still greater evils than tithes.
The Scotch agriculture fifty years ago was worse
than the English, and it is now better; yet at
both periods Scotland was without tithes. The
absence of tithes has no doubt facilitated improve-
ment, though it could not at once overcome other
obstacles in the way of improvement. As to the
instruction and civilization of the people by the
clergy, we refer our contemporary to his commen-
taries on the brutality of the Hampshire peasantry.
The clergy, who have wrought such wonders in the
way of instruction and civilization, enjoy, according
to the author of '!'he Extraordinary Black Book—
a most extraordinary performance, to which we shall
hereafter allude more particularly—a sum of
9,45 9,5 6 5/.—illorning Chronicle.
The motion of Mr. O'Gorman Mahon on Tuesday
night brought the recent proceedings in Ireland before
the House. Lord Althorp, in a speech distinguished
by his usual candour, dwelt on the difficulty of
maintaining a connection between two countries of
which each possessed an independent Legislature,
and vindicated the conduct of the Government in
availing themselves of all the means at their com-
mand to frustrate the attempt at separation. The
repeal of the Union meant the dismemberment of the
empire. " No man," said the Noble Lord, " held
civil war in greater detestation than himself, but
even that he should prefer to the dismemberment of
the empire.—(Loud and continued shouts of hear.)"
—The general feeling in the House on Tuesday night
on this question proves how well we interpreted
the feeling in England with respect to the repeal
of the Union. We observed, that any proceed-
ings by which the agitation of the question of re-
peal could be put down, could hardly fail to be
popular in this country; and that the strict legality
of such a step would not be so much considered
as its result. Sir Robert Peel distinctly stated
that, even if Government had made any slips (and
he did not say they had) in their mode of enforcing
the law, allowance ought to be made for it
" He had (he said) irrevocably made up his mind
to stand by the Executive Government, and main-
tain the Union between the two countries at all
hazards." This sentiment was loudly cheered. He
added, that " it was the duty of the Government,
even by risking the extremity of civil war, to pre-
vent the dismemberment of the empire." This, we
are satisfied, is the expression of what is felt by at
least ninety-nine in a hundred of the people'
of England. When a distinguished Member of
the Scotch Parliament expressed his determina-
tion, when a Member of the British Parliament,
to effect a separation in consequence of breach
of faith, he was told by Mr. Bromley, the
speaker—" We had some difficulty in catching
you, but now that we have caught you we will holdyou fast." It should be understood, that incor-
porating unions can only be dissolved by force.
However the great point is, to take from the
Irish the desire of separation ; and Lord Althorp
admitted that he looked forward to the healing
effects of the measures to be proposed for the im-
provement of the Sister Kingdom. The agitation
will have been beneficial, if it have impressed the
owners of property in Ireland with the necessity of
measures for the improvement and conciliation of
the population, of a very different nature from any
they have hitherto seemed willing to concede. One
measure essential to the pacification of Ireland must
have suggested itself long ago to every reflecting
mind—a new arrangement of the ecclesiastical sys-
tem. Those who think that a repeal of the Union
would strike at the safety and prosperity of the
empire, are right in 'preferring a civil war to a re-
peal ; but no man will say that a civil war ought to
be hazarded, to allow a certain number of ecclesi-
astical sinecurists to enjoy a million of the best acres
of Ireland, and one-tenth of the gross produce of
that fertile island, while the people are burdened
with the maintenance of their own clergy.—Morn-
ing Chronicle.
The discussions in the House of Lords on Mon-
day and Tuesday, though short, have been ex-
tremely important. The disposition to agree to a
commutation, evinced by the Heads of the Church,
is unquestiot ably a great point gained. Thearju-
rious operations of a tithe on gross produce,
tesidence, and its causes, have had a valuable light
thrown on them on these two nights. But Lord
King has announced a regular campaign against
tidies ; and the abuse that is so plentifully heaped
on him ought to be the strongest of all encourage-
ments for him to proceed. The bitterness with
which he is assailed is a tolerably unequivocal indi-
cation of the good he is doing. On Tuesday night
he intimated that he should give the Church one
day's respite besides Saturday and Sunday. lie
should follow, he said, the example of the Church
in old times, which established what was called
" the peace of the Church" from Friday to Mon-
day, adding, however, Wednesday; so that on
Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday there should be
peace to the Church from the war of petitions."

Now what the " weighty reasons" were which Sir
E. B. Sugden was prepared to urge against the pro-
posed transfer, we cannot positively say, but it is
generally reported the principal, if not the only one,
was that it would interfere with his omit conve-
nience, as, being in many of those causes, lie did not
like to leave the Vice• Chancellor's Court and attend
upon that of the Master of the Rolls, where it is
not his habit to practise. Indeed, if the " weighty
reasons" which he so darkly hinted at were not of a
personal nature, we cannot understand why he did
not publicly disclose them. The proposed tramfer
of the causes was for the public convenience, and we
do not see why the Lord Chancellor, or the other
parties to this most beneficial arrangement, should
ullow the personal convenience of Sir B. B. Sugden,
or any other practitioner, to stand in the way of it.
We have heard that an objection was, in the first
instance, started by the officers of the Vice-
Cbaneellor's Court, who certainly had weighty rea-
sons for that objection, as it was feared that, with
the transfer of the causes into another Court, it was
intended to transfer the fees derivable therefrom
into other pockets. The removal of the mere parch-
ments pro bond publico, it is probable, would not
have cost a murmur ; but that the " golden fleece"
should be transferred along with them was a
thing not quite so easy to be borne. However,
the Master of the Rolle, we understand, obviated
that dfficulty, by having it made known to the par-
ties most interested that the fees would be payable
to the officers in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, in
the same manner as if the causes were to be heard
there, as he considered himself, in regard to these
causes, only acting in place of the Vice-Cbaucellor.
This we can state with some degree of confidence;
and it certainly does great ere dit to the Master of
the Rolls, who, although he was well entitled to
any intervals of leisure which his successful exer-
tions for the despatch of the business of his Court
could procure for him, yet, with an utter regardless-
nom of recreation and of health, was willing to

Mr. MAULE, in opening the pleadings, mentioned
that this was an action to recover compensation in
damages for a libel, published by the defendants, of
and concerning the plaintiff, in a number of a publi-
cation called the Mirror of Parliament, published
about the close of 1828, in which it was imputed to
the plaintiff that he was an extortionate and petty-
fogging attorney, and had been guilty of perjury.
The defendants pleaded Not Guilty, and also a
justification as to the perjury ; and one of the de-
fendants (Barrow) pleaded, in addition, a justifi-
cation as to the extortion and pettyfogging.
Sir J. SCARLETT—The plaintiff had been for a
number of years an attorney at Bristol. One of the,
defendants (Dr. Lushington) was personally known
to him (Sir J. Scarlett)—a most eminent public
man, and one who was held in the highest esti-
mation both for his talents, his humanity, and in
every respect unimpeachable moral character.
At the time when these libels were published,
which was in August, 1828, Dr. Lushington was a
Member of Parliament, and the Jury were pro-
bably aware that a Member of Parliament was not
answerable for words spoken in the House. But if
a Member chose to descend from his privilege and
publish without the House anything improperly re-
flecting on the character of individuals for which he
would not have been responsible if spoken in Par-
liament,then afortiori he was responsible in the same
way as other persons. It was true that it was now
the practice, and had been for a considerable time,
to publish reports of the debates in Parliament.
The Newspapers particularly did so; and the prac-
tice had been in some degree sanctioned by a sort of
connivance. For these reports Members of Par-
liament were not responsible, because they had no
concern with the publication. But if a Member of
Parliament did become a party to the publication of
his speeches, and the speeches so published con-
tained anything libellous, then he became respon-
sible like any other person, and therefore Doctor
Lushington, although a Member of Parliament,
was as much responsible for this pablication as
any of the other defendants. These other de-
fendants were Mr. Barrow, the Editor of this pamph-
let, and Messrs. Winchester and Varnham, 61,
Strand, the publishers. He had heard of the pub-
lication called the Mirror of Parliament, but this
was the first time that he had any part of it in his
hand. He understood, however, that it was sub-
scribed for by some Members of Parliament, and
that it was no unusual practice for them to send
their own speeches, or to revise and correct the re-
ports for: this publication. He would now proceed
to state the nature of the libels. The plaintiff was
employed in the capacity of attorney by a Mr. Ped-
del, to conduct a suit which he had to bring into
Doctors' Commons, relative to the will of a Mr.
Evans. This Mr. Evans had made two wills, one
of which was in favour of this Mr. Peddel, arid Ped-
del's object was to set aside the other will and the
probate upon it, arid to set up the will made in his
own favour. The plaintiff could not himself con-
duct the matter in the Ecclesiastical Court, where
the practice was confined to Proctors, and he there-
fore employed Mr. Foller, a Proctor. After the
suit had gone a certain length, judgment was given
by Sir John Nichol, in the Arahes Court, against
Peddel, but without costs; from which it would
appear that the Judge did not think the
suit was either frivolous or vexatious. The
property in dispute was only 1,8001. altoge-
ther, and Peddel, on seeing a large bill of costs
brought against him, was anxious to have the bill
taxed. A petition which had been presented to Sir
John Nichol, praying that the plaintiff might be
allowed to assist at the taxation was, however, re-
jected. Mr. Peddel then presented a petition to
the House of Commons, in which he complained of
the conduct of the Ecclesiastical Judge, set forth
the hardship of the case, and prayed for redress.
On this petition, which was presented by Mr. Hume,
some discussion took place in Parliament on the
27th July, 1828, arid soon afterwards, in August,
that year, the speeches made on that occasion were
published in this number of The Mirror; and in
the speeches of Dr. Lushington there were two
passages particularly referring to the plaintiff, and
these passages were the libels of which he com-
plained. Dr. Lushington, after defending Sir John
Nichol, proceeded thus ;
" I will only add, that the petition is not that of the
person whose name is affixed to it, but that of a petty-
fogging attorney,
,svho was guilty of perjury and an at-
tempt at extortion.,
This was certainly strong language : but here
there was no specific mention of the plaintiff. But
in a subsequent passage Dr. Lushington said—
Ia speaking of the solicitor (Walker), I made use of
strong expressions, not one of which I am now disposed
to retract ; for I should he ashamed to make use of my
privilege of Parliament to say anything that I could not
folly substantiate."

This, therefore, fixed the charge on the plaintiff;
aad then, whey another Member found fault with
Dr. Lushington for saving that the plaintiffhad been
convicted of perjury, Dr. Lushington answered—
' I did not say that he was convicted, but that he was
guilty of perjury."
Ile would now proceed to prove his case.
The production was proved, and several witnesses
were called with a view to prove that Dr. Lushing-

no evidence in support of the allegation could be
elicited, but rather the contrary.

against Dr. Lushington.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, addressing the Jury
for the three remaining defendant., observed that
he was a good deal relieved from his anxiety.
He was perfectly certain that Dr. Lushington had
