THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S DECLARATION I
ON CHURCH DEFICIENCY.—AIthough there is no
substantial discrepancy between the report which
we gave of the remarkable declaration, vehemently
pronounced on Thursday evening in the House of
Lords, by the Duke of Wellington, and that report
which the Standardof last evening substi' utes Tor its own
repudiated report of the preceding evening, it may be well
to state, for the purpose of preventing mistake as to
the Duke's real sentiments, and the plain, energetic,
and unqualified manner in which he expressed them,
that our reporter, who heard every word and took a
close short-hand note, assures us that the Duke made
use of no such qualifying words as " fairly and justly ;"
and also that the Duke did use the words " public money,"
which nowhere appear in the report adopted by the
Standard.

It will be seen by the Assize Intelligence from
Maidstone, that though the Quarter Sessions had
been held only a few days ago, there are forty-nine
persons for trial, and that of these only one can read
and write. Eighteen of those unfortunate crea-
tures cannot read at all, and thirty can read
only very imperfectly. These are a specimen of
the men placed under the protecting wings of the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and the religious
instruction of the Kent parsons. What a blessing
this richly endowed Church is ! Where Church
most abounds, there we are sure to find ignorance
and vice most rampant. Well might the Times,
in a fit of honest indignation, write these words,
so full of truth :—" We have too much
Church." Had the Archbishop of CANTER-
BURY 1,0001. a-year (in place of 20,0001.
for doing nothing to save those who " die
for lack of knowledge"), he would have more time
and also be better fitted to attend to the spiritual
wants of those whom Providence has placed under
his charge. What can Infidels, Atheists, Socialists,
or Dissenters allege against this overgrown and
dominant establishment, half so severe as every-
day facts, which no man can deny ? While they
are constantly talking of filling Churches, they are
actually filling gaols.

We are informed that the Russian Government has
given an official intimation to our Government, that
it (Russia.) does not mean to send another
expedition to Khiva. The Russians, therefore, do not
think the possible gain of conquest there worth the cer-
tain expense and loss.
Within a few years numerous loan societies have
been established in London for the benefit of the in-
dustrious classes of the community, and also with a
view to benefit those who embark in such undertakings.
Institutions of this kind have hitherto been unknown in
this part of the island. The operatives, and even the
smaller tradesmen, when pressed for money, were for-
merly obliged to resort to the pawnbroker's shop, or to
usurers, for assistance at a rate of interest which only
increased the embarrassment ; and any well-regulated
system, therefore, which can form a substitute for this
ruinous practice, must be regarded as a great improve-
ment. In Scotland, the banks, which abound in all
the towns, render such establishments unnecessary. Any
respectable tradesman there can raise money on a
bill endorsed by substantial housekeepers, and in nine
cases out of ten both borrower and lender profit by the
transaction. That system is gaining ground rapidly in
England, and in a way, too, that is better adapted to
the difficulties of many classes, as the repayment can be
made by instalments of small amount. We have ex-
tracted from the Railway Magazine a short article on
this subject, which deserves attention. Banks of this
kind, if properly conducted, would confer a vast benefit
on the public. They would afford accommodation at
times to a man perfectly solvent, who otherwise might
be left at the mercy of a hard-hearted creditor, or a
still more hardhearted usurer.

BONDED CORN —The Committee appointed to in-
quire under what restrictions flour may be manufactured
in bond, have reported to the House, that their pro-
ceedings were "stopped," by an objection in point of
form taken by some members of the Committee, to the
nature of the evidence which was offered to it. It
being too late in the Session to procure additional in-
structions from the House, the Committee have reported
the evidence, and there the matter stops.

SPAIN.—The Madrid Gazette of the 16th
instant contains two decrees; the first appoints Don Baldoenero
Espartero, Duke of Victoria and Morella, Commander-in-
Chief of the Royal Guard, an appointment which had already
been conferred on him by a decree dated December 11, 1838,
but which appointment the Duke had resigned in consequence
of the military operations in which he was then engaged, and
which required his undivided attention. The second decree
appoints Lieutenant-General Don Geronimo Valdez, late Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Royal Guard, to be Inspector-General
of the Provincial Militia, as a reward for his good and loyal
services.
HA YMA KET.—Mr. Kean concluded his second
engagement at this theatre on Friday night with Macbeth'
which he performed for the tenth time there. The house was
full to excess : at the fall of the curtain it was announced that
so attractive had his performance of this character been, that
the management had given him another brief engagement.
HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS
AUGUSTA.—A trifling change for the better has taken place in
her Royal Highness's health. We understand her Royal High-
ness had some refreshing sleep on Thursday night, and con-
tinued up to Friday evening rather improved. The bulletin
issued at Clarence House on Friday, and handed to the numer-
ous inquirers of distinction, was--" The Princess Augusta has
had a very comfortable night, and her Royal Highness is better
to-day., ' Several members of the Royal Family visited her
Royal Highness on Friday.
MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—On Tuesday
last, at Fulmer-place,l3erks, Charles Bedingfield, Esq., brother
to Mr. Henry Bedingfield, and nephew to Lord Stafford, was
united to Agnes, daughter of the late Christopher Waterton,
Esq., of Woodlands, Yorkshire. On Wednesday, at Dews-
bury Church, Cheshire, Thomas George Skipvvith, Esq..
eldest son of Sir Gray Skipv;ith, Bart., led to the altar, Emma,
youngest daughter of the late Thos. Watton, Esq., of Liverpool.
Goverm i

expressly said, " of his literary attainments."— Glasgow

DIsCOVERY OF AN INHABITED ISLAND.—
Captain Wood of the ship L. C. Richmond, lately arrived
here, discovered while on his passage out an island in latitude
15 degrees 37 minutes south, longitude 175 degrees 25 minutes
west. It was a large island, well wooded, and apparently
thickly inhabited, judging by the lights seen on shore at night.
Captain Wood not having seen the island marked in any of the
charts, named it " Brinsmade's Island."—South Australian

had been sent home by the doctor. He continued playing
about until the evening of Monday last, but about two o'clock

state he continued up to ten o'clock on Tuesday morning,
when, not having been christened, the Rev. Mr. Batters-

liam Pollard, surgeon, had, on the previous day, opened the
exception that part of the cherry-stone produced was found in
the middle of the windpipe, on the right side, not having passed
into the larynx. That had produced a good deal of inflamma-
tion along the whole length of the tube. It was explained
that the deceased had been sent home because he refused to
allow the surgeons to pass a probe down his throat. Verdict,
" Accidental Death.' Was it not the duty of the surgeons
at the hospital to communicate to the parent the fact that the
boy refused to submit to the operation ? Had it been per-
formed before inflammation commenced in all likelihood his life
would have been saved. ]

~AIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

ROUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at T,(siVe o'Clock.
NEW SOUTH WALES
The New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land
Bill went through Committee, and the Report was or-
dered to be read on Monday.
REGENCY BILL.
A message from the Lords brought down the Re-
gency Bill, in which their Lordships desired the concur-
rence of the House.
CHURCH DISCIPLINE BILL,
On the order of the day for going into Committee
on this Bill being read,
Mr. WARBURTON said he regretted they should
be called to proceed with this Bill with se few Mem-
bers present. It was a Bill for providing against irre-
gularities of the Clergy. A desirable object, but he
thought the inferior Clergy should have more protec-
tion against their superiors, than this Bill afforded. The
Bill provided that on complaint the Bishop should have
power to appoint a Commission to inquire into the
truth of the complaint. Should the Commission re-
port the truth of the charge, and the party accused
admit the truth of 'their allegation, a compromise
might take place in the first instance, and the Bishop
proceed to pronounce sentence in due course of law.
By clause 7, if the Commission should report there
were sufficient prima facie grounds for instituting pro-
ceedings, and the Bishop should• think fit to proceed
against the party accused,and articles drawn up, and so
forth ; then, if no compromise took place, these articles
were to go before the Bishop's Court, for the purpose
of instituting a regular trial in proof of them. Now
he would show that the Bishop might originally insti-
tute the proceedings on his own motion ; that he ap-
pointed the members of the Court to try the
truth of the report. That there was no jury composed
of clergymen or the Peers of the party to be tried,
but that it was a court altogether appointed by the
Bishop. This was altogether inconsistent with the
principles of justice. The Bill then provided that if
the party was found guilty an appeal should be allowed.
If the party had been tried before the Bishop's Court
the appeal lay to the Archbishop's Court, but still not
before the Peers of the party accused. If the previous
judgment was here confirmed an appeal was given
to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
But that Committee in such cases was not to be com-
posed in the usual manner, but all the Bishops and
Archbishops were to sit as members of the Committee
pro hac vice. Now was this fair to the Clergy ? A
party accused should always be tried by his peers. The
principles on which this Bill was founded were not
equitable. What would be thought in any other case—
in the case of a layman accused of an offence—if an
alteration were purposely made in the constitution of
a court appointed to try him, for the purpose of admit-
ting members of his own particular profession to sit as
his judges ? He hoped the Bill would not be proceeded
with in the present thin house, but would be post-
poned until gentlemen connected with the legal profes-
sion could attend the discussion.
Dr. NIC HOLL said that it would be impossible to
go on with the discussion to-day, and complained that
the Hon. Gentleman should have gone into the prin-
ciple of the Bill, of which, he contended, he had given
a very unfair impression.
Mr. FOX MAULE suggested that as Saturday
was generally appropriated to Bills on which no discus-
sion was likely to arise, the further consideration of the
present Bill should be postponed to some future day.
After a short conversation, the further consideration
of the Bill was postponed to Thursday.
OYSTER FISHERIES BILL.—(SCOTLAND.)
On the Order of the day for the House going into
.Committee on the Oyster Fisheries (Scotland) Bill
being read,
The LORD ADVOCATE gave notice of his in-
tention to propose some amendments on the third
reading. The House then went into Committee on the
Bill.

The Bill went through Committee. The Report
was brought up ; and the Bill ordered to be read a
third time on Monday.
DOG CARTS.
Mr. F. MAULE moved the second reading of the
Dog Carts Bill.
Mr. EWART opposed the Bill, which he conceived
would inflict great oppression on the poor man who
could not afford to keep a horse or a donkey. The
Hon. Member was proceeding to make some further
observations, when
Mr. F. MAULE intimated that it was not his in-
tention to press the Bill this Session.
Mr. EWART would then suspend his observations
till another period.
Mr. EAST observed that the House had already
sanctioned the principle of the Bill.
Mr. WARBURTON said the Bill might be expe-
dient for the crowded streets of the metropolis, as an
act of humanity not to the canine but the human race,
but he doubted the propriety of applying it to the rural

On the motion that the House resolve itself into a
Committee on the Sugar (Excise Duties) Bill,
Mr. EW ART said this Bill was to put a heavy duty
upon sugar made at home. The monopolists prevented
the people of England from getting sugar through the
means of commerce and also from the chemist. They
might at all events admit it from our own possessions in
the East ; they would not do so, then they might at all
events not put on any additional restrictions on its manu-
facture at home.
Mr. HAWES begged to put one fact upon record,
that the sugar monopolists were inflicting a great injury
not only upon the people of England, but upon the land-
owners, because from the monopoly price of sugar the
manufacturers found it impossible to make preserves of
the fruit which was so plentiful.
Mr. DARBY said the prosperity of the fruit grower
had been already swept away by the repeal of the duties
on foreign fruit.
The Bill then went through Committee.
The Report of the Municipal Districts (Ireland)
Bill was brought up, and ordered to be read a third
