LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1836.

We expressed our satisfaction the other day, that a
specific time had been appointed for discussing the
question so irregularly obtruded on the House on
Wednesday last by the llon. Member for:Printing-
House-square. The discussion took place last night,
and we congratulate the Hon. Gentleman on the
success which has at last crowned his efforts, and
those of his yelping coadjutors. He has now the sin-
gular merit of having exhausted the Tunnel and the
Poor Laws—two great subjects at which he has been
boring away till the House and the country are
heartily sick of both. Thank Heaven they are now
set at rest 1

We have never had but one opinion on the Poor
Law Act. We have always viewed it as one of the
greatest national reforms that ever were achieved, and
have no hesitation in stating our opinion, that had
Lord BROUGHAM done nothing else for his country—
were all the other splendid services which he has ren-
dered her entirely blotted out from the book of her
remembrance—the plan which he contrived and exe-
cuted for closing the gulph into which her pauper
system was fast sinking her, would entitle him to her
everlasting gratitude.
On the debate of last night it is needless to make
any remark. It speaks for itself. No one, with the
exception of the Mover, pretended to object to the
New Poor Law as a whole. The utmost length to
which other Members went was to " hint a fault and
hesitate dislike." They nibbled at a proviso here and
there ; but as to the efficiency and beneficial working
of the new system, all were agreed. The truth is
that the facts are too stubborn for any man who has
the least spark of sense and honesty in him. Never
was so great an improvement, effected in so short a
time in the character and comfort of a peasantry. In
the course of about two years the poor-rate has been
diminished nearly two millions sterling, while those on
whom this vast sum would, according to the old law
have been spent, have not*only been better provided for,
but have also been raised in the scale of moral existence.

The Church of England Bill went through Com-
mittee last night in the House of Lords, when the
Earl of RIPON took the opportunity of objecting to
the proposed abolition of the bishopric of Sodor and
Man, and its junction with the see of Carlisle. The
reasons that his Lordship assigned for this objection
are curious, and could only have proceeded from one
driven to the last extremity for any thing like a sound
argument. " The Bishop of Sodor and Man," he ob-
served, " was ex officio a member of the executive go-
verning body in that island." This is true enough,
but so far from furnishing an argument against any
alteration in the diocese, it furnishes the strongest pos-
sible argument in favor of it. We have all seen the
vexatious embarrassments to which the cause of Re-
form and Religion also, is constantly exposed, from
Bishops acting in the two-fold capacity of priests and
politicians ; and the conviction is general throughout
the community, that they should be confined solely to
their ecclesiastical duties. Yet in the case of Sodor
and Man, the Earl of RIPON would still continue the
diocesan as a legislator as well as a clergyman,
thus aiming a side-wind blow at Church Reform,
under the pretence of being a warm advocate of the
principle. But thus Tories invariably act in their ca-
pacity of Reformers. They betray the cloven foot at
every step they take. You cannot trust their advocacy
of any one measure that has improvement for its
object, for while with the one hand they give it an
encouraging pat on the back, with the other they never
fail to deal it a stunning blow. They are sworn
enemies to Reform in all its phases, and agree with'
Lord SToRNIONT—who by-the-bye deserves praise for
his manly frankness—in hating " the very mention"
of the word. The Earl of RiPoN's next objection
was, that if the diocese of Sodor and Man were
united with that of Carlisle, the Bishop of the latter
See " would have to cross the seas" to perform his
duties in the Isle of Man. How thoroughly Tory is
this objection I What an insight it gives you into the
indolent character of the party I An Ecclesiastical

improvement it seems is not to be made, because
it may occasion a Bishop some little inconveni-
ence—say rather, the shadow of an inconvenience !
That Right Reverend Prelate, whom Devonshire
holds in reverence little short of idolatry, improved
on this objection—as it is fit such an apostle should
do----observing that a " worse arrangement than that of
uniting the see of Sodor and Man with Carlisle
could not be suggested, as far as regarded the diocesan
of Carlisle, for he would have to make one or two
voyages annually to the Isle of Man." It would
ap-
pear from this that Church Reforms are not instituted
for the benefit of the people, but solely for that of the
Bishops. It is an excellent Reform to give an Arch-
bishop fifteen thousand per annum ; but a most
scandalous one to compel a Bishop to undertake one
or two annual voyages, across a ferry in a steam-boat,
without giving him compensation for such trouble.
Query—How many voyages and travels did ST. PA UL
undertake, encompassed with dangers, and with no
hope of further reward than an approving conscience ?
But then, to be sure, St. PAUL was an apoStle of the
old school, and with all our veneration for modern
bishops, we cannot take it upon our conscience to assert
that they are apostolical either in creed or character.
These are neither more nor less than Aldermen in
lawn-sleeves, and had we ever been doubtful of this,
we should now have been convinced, by the Bishop of
EXETER'S pathetic regrets, that the new Church Re-
form Bill would put his brother Prelate to some little
personal 'inconvenience. This ghostly Peer went on
to lament that " the see of Carlisle would be deprived
of the presence of their diocesan during his necessary
absences to the Isle of Man"—just as if Bishops were
never absent from their sees for months together, when
engaged in speaking and voting against Reform in the
House of Lords ! If the absence -of a Prelate from
his bishopric be injurious to the welfare of his flock,
why does not , Dr. PIIILLPOTTS instantly turn his
horses' heads towards Exeter ? He is far more use-
fully employed preaching in the Cathedral, than pros-
ing in the House of Lords. Lord LYNDllurtsT
sided with the Earl of ItiPoN and the Bishop—but
this of course, for wherever mischief is to be perpe-
trated, there is his Lordship, busy " as the devil in a
high wind !"

The Paris Papers of Sunday, received this morning,
speak in terms of unmitigated censure of the conduct
of the Government towards the Press, and all persons
suspected of being discontented with the existing
state of things. The KING is certainly driving the
country to the verge of another Revolution. On
Saturday, the editors of the Nationnel, the Bon Sens,
and La France, were severally brought to trial for
libels on the KING. It was at first expected that the
Government would not prosecute the Nationnel, in
consequence of the recent death of its lamented pa-
triotic editor, M. ARMAND CARREL ; but those who
indulged such expectations were doomed to a bitter
disappointment. The article in the Nationnel charged
the KING with hypocrisy in declaring with tears in his
eyes, when he signed FIESCHI'S death-warrant, that
had he himself only been wounded, he would have
pardoned the criminal ; and yet, afterwards, on the
petition of M. LEDRU, to refuse to pardon ALI-
BEAUD, who endangered the life of none but that of
the SOVEREIGN. This article, which is merely a
statement of fact, which neither the KING nor his
Ministers could controvert, appeared on the 25th of
June last. M. PERSAT, the present editor, was,
however, found guilty, and sentenced to four months'
incarceration, and a fine of one thousand francs. The
editor of La France was sentenced to the same term
of imprisonment, and an equal amount of fine, for
merely copying the article without a word of comment;
and the editor of the Bon Sens, in default of ap-
pearing to defend himself against a most trumpery
charge, was condemned by the same Court to four
months' imprisonment, and a fine of four bun-
d►ed francs ! This state of things cannot last
much longer, unless the system be very consider-
ably ameliorated. But of this there is not the most
remote appearance. The police are as busy as they
can be, crowding the prisons with suspected persons,
while such is the terror of the' Royal Family that not
a member of it dares to appear in public. In the mean
time the people are exasperated beyond endurance.
They resent the caution of the KING as an insult to
their loyalty and patriotism. They see themselves
pointed out to the notice of the civilized world as a
suspected rabble of traitors and assassins, among whom
the KING of their election cannot show himself with-
out risking his life. This is a bitter feeling in the
mind of so excitable a people as the French. No
doubt to get rid of it, many would cheerfully unite
to rend the ORLEANS dynasty to follow the fortunes
of CHARLES X.

The Monitcur of Sunday confirms the account of
the retreat of GOMEZ across the Minho, near Santiago,
on the 19th ult., which we copied into The Sun of
yesterday. The Journal des Debats of the same
date, has a long commentary on the official announce-
ment, which it concludes with the following striking
observations :—" Whatever may be its ulterior fate,
that expedition will have exhibited the deplorable spec-
tacle of a small column of revolters, traversing with
impunity a distance of 90 leagues, through several
provinces of Spain, entering large cities, levying con-
tributions, putting to flight the authorities, inspiring
everywhere on its way contempt for the Government,
and sowing the fatal seeds of insurrection, without
either time authorities, Generals, or National Guards
attempting to check its progress, or the population
running to arms to oppose those adventurers, denying
them provisions, or flying on their approach. On the
contrary, the inhabitants everywhere received them well,
and it may be said that, had not the division of ESPAR-
i'ERO stuck so close to the heels of GOMEZ, as to allow
him no time to organize a rising, the whole of Galicia and
the Asturias would ere now be in open insurrection."
This language from a journal in the confidence of the
French Government, and invariably favourable to the
success of the QUEEN'S arms, is worthy of very serious
attention. There is certainly ground for very serious
alarm at the present moment. Desertion to the ranks
of the Carlists is become a crime of the most common
occurrence, even among the soldiers of the British
Legion. The forces of the Pretender are daily making
fresh inroads in all directions, while the QUEEN'S
troops are either wholly inactive, or content to act
merely on the defensive. To add to the difficulties of
the Spanish Government, intrigues are on foot every
where, and every thing is managed in a spirit of petty
partizanship and individual rivalry. CORDOVA, who
has now removed his head quarters to Logrono, feigns
himself too unwell to attempt an expedition against
Villareal. Thus all is disorder and insecurity, both in
the capital and the provinces of Spain.
PARIS, Jur.v IVe no longer see in the anniversaries
days of public fetes, but days of mourning." This is what
the Courrier Francais says to-day ; this is our situation after
six years. The Royalists were, then, in the right to confine
themselves to the mysterious inertia, with which M. Casimer
Perier was struck, and to leave the justice of God to act.
What would the return of Charles X. to Paris have availed
them in comparison to what we now see?
We read in the Mess ager The re-action, we repeat, is in
full progress—principles, men, and things, all return to the
restoration ; this is a progress which it is good to behold."
There are reports so absurd that it would not be necessary
to contradict them, if there were not persons ready to believe
absurdity itself. Among these reports is that of the presence
of the Duchess of Berri. It is not known with what male-
volent feelings such a report can have spread. The august
Princess is at Gratz, where she expects her brother.

CITY, 7'WELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are the French mails, with the
Jamaica and Leeward Islanemails, by the Spey—sailed from
Barbadoes 24th June, Jamaica 25th June, and St. Thomas on
the 23 July ; also ship letters from Calcutta, of the 15th May.
The Jamaica Papers to the 26th June have the following :
" Our Steam Company still continues to be viewed in the
most favourable light, and all the Shares allotted to Jamaica
have been taken up in the island."

PROROGATION OF THE ASSEMBLY.

His Excellency the Governor delivered the following
speech
GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL—MR. SPEAKER, AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY :

" The business of the Session having been brought to a
termination, I lose no time in liberating you from your a'.
tendance in town for legislative purposes, thereby enabling
you to return to your respective domestic occupations.
" As some of the Bills which- have reached me have not re-
ceived my assent, I think it right to explain the reasons why
two of them in particular—the Master in Chancery Bill, and
the Solicitors' Fee Bill—have not passed into a law.
" No inconvenience having been felt to exist from the want
of the Solicitors' Bill, since the former Act on that subject
expired, I do not anticipate that any is likely to arise for the
short remaining period which will intervene before the com-
mencement of the usual session, when you will have abundant
time to consider-and digest the measure, one of the greatest
importance, and make in it such changes as public opinion
seem to require, and if I am correctly informed, are at this
moment in the contemplation of the respectable gentlemen
who form that profession.
" To the Master in Chancery Act I have declined to give my
consent, because I have so recently established regulations
founded with but very little variations, in an excellent Bill on
that subject, which, though it passed one branch of the Legis.
lature, did not, from fortuitous circumstances, become a law.
During the few months which will elapse between the present
time and the ordinary winter Session, the Bill of Costs of the
Master in Chancery will be taxed according to these regula-
tions—a course infinitely preferable in my opinion to the re-
adoption under the temporary Bill of the scale of fees which
the Assembly has, by a recent decision, declared to be inap-
propriate to the present times.
" Me. SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OP THE ASSEMBLY,

" I beg you to accept my acknowledgments for the provision
you have made for the public service.
" GENTLEMEN OF TILE COUNCIL—MR. SPEAKER, AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY, •

"That the crop of this year will, from various causes, be
below the average, I feel quite convinced; but with the in-
creased prices in the home market, I anticipate it will afford a
return equal to any of those which may of late be considered
as prosperous years.
" I am rejoiced in being able to state, from the accounts I
have received, that the plant for next year's crop has been so
extensively established that, unless an unforseen calamity arise,
reasonable hope may prevail of more than the usual average
crop being effected in the year 1837.
" The perfect tranquillity which now prevails in this Island,
and the abundant proof I have of the increasing desire of the
negroes in most places to work for hire, give me a confident
expectation that my anticipations in this respect will not be
disappointed.
" I do now, in his Majesty's name, prorogue this General
Assembly until the 19th day of July next, and it is hereby
prorogued."
On the return of the House the above was again read by
the Clerk, and entered upon the minutes, after which the
members separated.

No letters have been received this morning respecting the
health of Mr. Rothschild at Frankfort ; consequently we pre-
sume he is not in a worse state than when the last accounts left.

A story which Sheridan was fond of telling was.,
that Lord John Townshend having won a good deal of
at Brookes', he Sheridan (who never played himself) and Gen.
Fitzpatrick, agreed to rob him on his way home. Upon stop-
ping Lord John's chair for that purpose, the Irish chairmen
said, " Sure we know your honour mighty well, Mr. Sheridan,
and have a great regard for your honour, but we cannot allow
you to rob my Lord while he is in our custody." " Now,"
Sheridan used to remark,-" I am at a loss to say which I am
most flattered by, their affection for my person, or their opi-
nion of my honesty."—Gent's Mag.

Consols for the Account, 908 91.

THE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—Yesterdav Mr. Alder-
man Wood, as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, accompanied
by Mr. Alderman Venables, Sir Peter Laurie, the Sheriffs,
with Mr. Sergeant Arabin, the Chamberlain, Comptroller,
Remembrancer, and Solicitor, and about 60 Members of the
Court of Common Council, proceeded from Guildhall to the
Palace at Kensington, to present an address to his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex, upon the recovery of his sight ;
to which his Royal Highness was pleased to give a most
gracious answer.
The Earl of Eldon arrived at the New Angel Inn,
Doncaster, on Thursday evening, and on Friday morning pro-
ceeded on his route to the North.

TIIE YOUNG QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.—A letter
from Lisbon of the 16th ult. gives the following Court gos-
sip :—" The Queen is at Cintra, amusing herself by riding
her donkeys about the vicinity of that romantic village. It
was her Majesty's intention to return on the 24th instant, to
celebrate the anniversary of the Duke de Terceira's victorious
entry into Lisbon, but as the Prince is expected to-morrow
she will probably come back this evening. Sunday last being,
the anniversary of her Imperial Majesty the Duchess of Bra-
ganza's birthday, the customary salutes were fired from the forts
arid by the ships of war, and notwithstanding her Imperial
Majesty was at her palace at Caxias, the Queen, a great
number of the nobility, and persons of distinction went to con-
gratulate her. Her Most Faithful Majesty dined on that day
with her Imperial Majesty.
SITIPWRECK.—Besides the John Welsh, the loss
of which we described yesterday, the William, from Dublin to
Chester, was lost during the storm. She struck on Red
Wharf Bank, and all on board perished. Some coasting-ves-
sels, it is feared, were also wrecked during the storm.

The manning of the navy has as yet been unsuc-
cessful, the requisite number of seamen not having been ob-
tained.

VIENNA, JULY 21.—The cholera is abating , • only
in *he suburb of Lichentbal it seems to be as violent as ever.
It still rages in Lombardy and the Austrian Ettorab, and has
now appeared at Gorz, which is celebrated for the salubrity of
its climate. Sir Frederick Lamb has already had some con-
ferences with Prince Metternich. The King of Naples is
gone on an excursion to Gorz, but will return to Vienna. It
is said that only the Duke of Lucca and the Prince of Sa-
lerno will go to Paris, and that the King has given up the idea
of visiting the French capital.

A honest poor fellow belonging to the small island
of Sampson, having accumulated a little money, thought it
was high time that he should get married, and accordingly,
with the consent of his " dearly beloved," he called on one
of the clergymen of Scilly, to whom he expressed his desire
of having his banns published, at the same time somewhat
heavily patting or thumping the clergyman on his back, and
saying, " Now mind now, my good fellow, don't blab it about
to everybody you know." " Blab it about," said the clergy-
man smiling, though evidently desirous of getting at a proper
distance for the preservation of his back, " why the people
must know it on Sunday." " Ave, aye, I know that you
know," said the Scillonian, " but don't tell 'em of it afore, but
let it come on 'em unawares, my hearty."
CLERICAL RAPACITY.—A correspondent of the
Carnarvon Herald states, that of the ecclesiastical revenues
arising within the dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph, there
was annually distributed among Bishops, relations of former
bishops, and their connections, colleges, deans, and chapters,
and absentees living more than seven miles form their livings,
who from not knowing the Welsh language and other causes,
were incapacitated, and utterly incompetent to confer the
smallest spiritual benefits and temporal advantages upon those
from whom these revenues were exacted, after deducting
4,3951. for salaries paid to curates for performing the duties,
no less a sum than 56,5741. ; whilst the amount distributed
among the working and resident clergy (without reference to
a knowledge of the Welsh language) in both dioceses includ-
ing the 4,3951. paid to curates, and deducting 3,253/. for
Queen Ann's bounty and fees, makes only 38,2361. 1 Com-
ment on this is unnecessary.

On Thursday, the 6th ultiino, at the Petty Sessions,
at Kirkby Lonsdale, a worthy couple presented themselves "to
be unmarried." To this novel application their Worships re-
plied, ;" that, if they commenced the system of unmar-
rying people, it would supersede all other business," and ad-
v sed them "to return home, and agree." The writer of
this paragraph received his information of the above through a
gentleman who was present on the occasion. It reminded him
of a piece of antiquated legislation, which, in a less refined and
enlightened age, conferred upon clergymen the power to un-
marry those who were dissatisfied with the wedded state ; but
.his law was found to be impracticable ; for, when the first
clergyman appeared at the altar to put this merciful enactment
into force, the rush of candidates was so great, that the
Reverend Official was smothered; and no other parson
having the temerity to make a second attempt, the law
became a dead letter. Probably the worthy magistrates at
Kirkby may have had this catastrophe in their remembrance
on the 6th of July.—Sunderland Herald.

MAGAZINES-CONTINUED.

THE NATURALIST.
Groombridge, Paternoster-row.
We have here the first Number of a monthly periodical,
which promises to contribute, in no small degree, both t°
the amusement and instruction of the public. The stud/
of nature is the most delightful of all studies, and with such
able assistance as this work is calculated to afford, will, We
have great hopes, become much more general than it lg;
" The Naturalist" is conducted by Messrs. B. Maund and
W. 11011, aided by Mr. R. Mudie, and other scientific
writers. We heartily wish it every success.

THE LONDON AND EDINBURGH PHILO-

SOPHICAL MAGAZINE.
R. Tailor, Red Lion-court.
The conductors of this Magazine are entitled to the
thanks of the scientific world, as well as of the public ill,
general, for their well-directed labours in the cause of
science. The Number for this month is rich in original
communications from Faraday, Ritchie, Powell, and other
eminent men, to which our limits will not permit us to
allude more particularly. 'We cannot, however, omit this
opportunity of congratulating the public on the appearance
of another. periodical work, conducted by Mr. Richard
Taylor, entitled " Scientific Memoirs.", It is intended to
contain a selection of the most important papers, from the
transactions of foreign academies of science, and other
sources of a similar kind, and will be continued at such in'
tervals as may be deemed expedient. There is no doubt
that such a work is much wanted, and under the able
management of Mr. Taylor, who possesses not only the
necessary acquirements, but peculiar facilities for making it
what it ought to be, it cannot fail to prove successful.

CHRISTIAN REFORMER.
Sherwood and Co.

The first article in the present Number is highly We'
resting. It is a correspondence between Archdeacon
Blackburne and Mr. Niche, a Dissenting minister, arising
out of a passage in the Confessional. It will amply rePl
perusal. The learned author of " Illustrations of the New,,
Testament, from the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan,
pursues his ingenious researches, without flagging, in the
Number before us. There are several other articles both
in prose and verse, which we should have noticed had 0
had more space.

THE MONTHLY REPOSITORY.
Charles Fox.
The best article in this Number—indeed, the very best ill,
its way which has appeared in the " Repository" for sever°
months—is the " Royal Suitors ;" being a sketch of the
several distinguished scions of a Royal stock recently olr
served in the vicinity of Kensington Palace. The writer
is a witty dog, yet he can crack a joke with as much apPr
rent gravity as a judge would order a sheep-stealer to Ms'
tralia for change of air. A " Glimpse of the Future," bl
the author of Corn-Law Rhymes contains the germ of $
work which few are better qualified to undertake with .a
certainty of success than Ebenezer Elliot. He is dissatls:
fled with the present social condition of his cuuntryoles
let him again possess himself of the idea whicli he has here
thrown out, and of the materials which it offers to re- con3tror'
anew the social fabric. The rest of the Number is taken
up with criticisms, several of which are written with great
care and judgment.

The Papers from Scotland describe the weather'
particularly in the south country, as having lately been Or/
boisterous. Rain has been falling without intermission for se-
veral days, and, as might have been expected, the 601'
streams, &c., are much swollen.

On Friday night two jobbers were proceeding ho of
from Chelmsford market, comfortably puffing a couple °,
cigars, when by some accident the Havanuahs claimed acs
quaintanceship with the straw in the cart, and the whole Was
soon in flames. The good folks of Moulsham were quickli io
arms : some took them for a pair of Fire Kings travelling
state, while others thought it was the late talked of Coot
which had descended to this lower earth, and like a proper'l
behaved personage was taking the high-road to town ; but thed
mystery was at length solved, the fire was extinguished, sp
the parties drove off in haste—minus the bottom of the cart...,
to avoid the anxious enquiries of the collecting multitude.
Essex Herald.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an inquest Iva:,
taken before Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, at the P 10144
Stockwell, on the body of William Muggeridge, aged 15, tuit
son of a tradesman living there, who accidentally hung hites.„e
with a horse halter. Sarah Harris, servant to Mr. Lassaws
baker, North Brixton, deposed that the deceased used ocesi
sionally to clean the horse of Mr. Kidner, a butcher, who bad
his stable and carthouse in her master's premises. Deceashe,
was there on Tursday afternoon, in the carthouse, when
told witness that he had a holiday that afternoon. The lord-
was half cleaned. She left him for a few minutes. 0011:i
return, when within a few feet of him, she saw his head lsPj
in the halter, one of his knees touched the ground, ands
arms were hanging by his sides, in his right hand bel ot
horse-comb. She waited a few minutes, and as he u`,,:oe.
move she shrieked out for assistance ; her master then
Mr..Lassam said that deceased was of a very sleepy habit, 5;.1
in witness' opinion, the boy must have been swinging baato
and forward, having hold of the rope with both his hands, w",t-
falling asleep, his head dropped into the halter, and he bece-tb
suddenly choked. Verdict—That the deceased met his de
a
by accident.
Most of our readers will recollect, that a you ff
man, seventeen years of age, of the name of Titus Blacker' y,
Barnsley, was transported at the York August assizes. 1800
for life, for shooting a person named Bennett, of Barnsley. 40
Wednesday his parents received a letter from the place heAver
sent to, informing them, that their son was hung for mut"
ing one of the overlookers. The father of the unfortuess,
young man was unwell when the letter arrived, and the' ceso
duct of his son, and the awful end he had come to, had suebor
effect upon him, that he died in about an hour.—Deacili

It appears, that about nine o'clock yesterday morning a 1:11-
