[MORNING POST.]
in the House of Peers last night the Bill for
augmenting the salaries of the Judges was read
a second time on the motion of the Earl of Li-
verpool, and after a discussion of nearly three
hours, which, however, did little more than re-
produce the arguments pro and con, which had
been used in the Commons during the progress
of the Bill through that House. The Report of
the Committee on the Equitable Loan Bill was
afterwards received, and the Bill stands fora third
reading this night. In the Commons, Mr. F. Bux-
ton brought forward the case of Mr. Shrewsbury,
the Missionary from the African Society, whose
life was threatened, and his chapel pulled
down at Barbadoes in 1823. The Hon. Mem-
ber, after entering at large into the merits of
the case, moved the following Resolution :
" That this House, from the Papers laid on
the table relating to the demolition of the Me-
thodist Chapel at Barbadoes, and the expulsion
thence of Mr. Shrewsbury, a licensed teacher of
religion, deem it their duty to declare their ut-
most amazement at so scandalous and daring a
violation of law, and express their hope that his
Majesty will be pleased to order some steps to
be taken to secure the rebuilding of the Chapel,
and to afford ample protection and religious tole-
ration in that Colony." Mr. Horton admitted
that the facts were correctly stated, but said that
the proceedings of Mr. Shrewsbury had greatly
alarmed the Proprietors for the seculity of their
property. He did not mean to say that the
Society had done no good, but he would say
that their instructions to their Missionaries
had done much evil.—Mr. Secretary Canning
contended that Mr. Shrewsbury was wholly
free from blame, and that he had a right
to transmit the letter which he had written
to his employer, but that they were wrong
to publish it, and send it as a fire-brand to Barba-
does. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved
an Amendment, which was agreed to, strength-
ening the original Resolution by inserting the
word " indignation" instead of amazement, and
substituting the following passage for the part
which related to the rebuilding of the Church—
" Having seen with great satisfaction the instruc-
tions sent over by his Majesty's Secretary of
State to the Governor of Barbadoes to prevent
the recurrence of a similar outrage, they humbly
express their ready concurrence in any measures
his Majesty may deem necessary to secure the most
ample protection and religious toleration to all
classes of his Majesty's subjects i❑ that colony."

[THE TIMES.]
It will be seen by our Parliamentary report,
that an interesting discussion took place last
night in the House of Commons respecting the
demolition of the Methodist chapel in Barba-
does, and the conduct of the parties who per-
petrated or countenanced that act of bigotted
violence. Mr. Canning moved an amendment to '
Mr. Buxton's resolution, but such an amendment
as agreed with the spirit of the original pro-
position, showing that Government is deter-
mined to protect all classes of its colo►►ial
subjects in the Enjoyment of religious tolera-
tion, and to restrain with a vigorous hand
all
infringements of it in those quarters where
they are most likely to be atternpted.—The
Shipwrights in the river, and the Seamen in the
North, would do well to take into their serious
consideration the permission proposed to be
granted by Government to the shipping i►►terest,
to have their vessels repaired In foreign ports,
and manned by foreign sailors, in case their un-
reasonable combinations continue. Though no
such direct plan for breaking through combina-
tions in other trades has yet been suggested, yet
the parties may be assured that their demands
and proceedings, if equally unreasonable, will as
effectually be met by countervailing measures.

I MORNING HERALD.)
For a considerable time the Archbishop of
Dublin has been systematically assailed with
misrepresentation and ribaldry almost beyond
example. \Vt.at was the origin of all this ?
Simply a sentence in one of his pastoral charges,'
containing scarcely half a dozen syllables—and
this sentence only imputing error to the Church
of Rome, in a pointed or epigrammatic turn of
phrase. Surely those who regard the Archbi-
shop's religion as a heresy without the pale of
salvation, should show more forbearance—espe-
cially when their opinions are treated, not as
damnable, but only as absurd or erroneous. In-
stead of this, the Archbishop was misrepresented
in his expressions, calumniated in his character,
and exposed in his person to the animosity
and fanaticism of an inflammatory populace.
Whilst this system of aspersion was confined to
Dublin, the ends of truth and justice scarcely
required that it should be noticed. The local
disputations of the Dublin papers, important as
they seem to those concerned, who fret and speak
as if all Europe was looking on, make little way
in this country, and the eminent Prelate of whom
we speak, was too well known in his own coun-
try, by all but the populace, to suffer seriously
in his character. But now an attempt is made
to extend the same system of defamation against
him on this side the water. The occasion laid
hold of is that of his examination before the
Committee of the Ilouse of Lords. All man-
ner of absurdity and contradiction is said to
have been vented by him—even when examined
upon his own work on the Atonement, as well
as on the Articles of the Church and the Atha.
nasian Creed. Now there are imputations of such
a kind, that they are negatived by the character
of him upon whom they are cast. Who could
believe, for instance, that Mr. Brougliaill talked
good-natured folly for two hours in St. Stephen's,
or that Mr. Hume made an oration of the same
length, in which he condescended to observe the
common obligations of grammar and good taste.
Just as soon could this imputed mass of contra-
diction have escaped the Archbishop of Dublin.
Et is only sufficient to know who and what he is.
His work on the Atonement is sufficient evidence
of superior reason and profound knowledge in
the sphere of his sacred profession. His ow u ac-
