rity but the certainty of punishment, which deterred
offenders, and supported the Bill.
The Earl of DARLINGTON, like Sir C. BURRELL, con-
curred entirely with Lord J. RUSSELL. •
Mr. HUME was for the Bill, because crime bad been
diminished by the mitigation of the criminal code.
Mr. KELLY defended his Bill, and said amongst other
things—" Only that day he had received a letter from
Mr. Leathern, of Leeds, who said he had met the
treasurer of the West Riding coming from the assizes
at York, who said that the crimes tried there were of a
deep and heinous character, but the Juries refused to
convict because the loss of life would follow ; and he
further was informed of a barrister who went to York,
convinced that it would be unsafe to ameliorate the law
of punishment any further, but what he saw take place
at York had quite converted him to his (Mr. K.'s) opi-
nion upon the subject."
Sir R. PEEL, after the most mature consideration,
had not received from his Hon. Friend the impression
made on his Hon. Friend's mind. He thought, as we
stated a few days ago, that the Bill would not carry
the public mind along with it, and he had no alternative
but to vote with Lord JOHN RUSSELL.
Mr. EWART exposed an inconsistency in Sir R.
PEEL's argument, and supported the Bill.
On a division, the Bill was put off by 78 to 51.
It will be noticed that all the persons who spoke in
favour of the Bill, except Mr. KELLY, were Liberals,
and the majority of the votes given in its favour
were also given by them. In fact among the Ayes
we recognize no other Tories than Mr. FRESH-
YIELD and Sir C. DOUGLAS. It is, for us, curious
and painful to see Lord JOHN RUSSELL supported
on this occasion by three of the staunchest Corn-
law advocates—Sir C. BURRELL, the Earl of DARLING-
TON, and Sir R. PEEL. We infer, therefore, that a
clinging to Corn-laws and to cruel punishments are united.
What the Herald, the great advocate for the abolition
of the punishment of death and for starving people by
wholesale, will say to this illustration of the propensities
of the Corn-law men, we shall be very desirous of see-
ing. We regret nothing so much on the subject—
for the abolition of murder at the gallows cannot be long
delayed—as seeing Lord J. RUSSELL united with such
men in such a cause. At the same time we can find
some excuse for him in his situation, and in the fact
that the public mind is scarcely yet ripe for the aboli-
tion. It has not yet got sufficiently rid of Tory preju-
dices. The abolition of the punishment of death is a
measure of the Liberals, and would give a severe blow
to Toryism.
Mr. KELLY withdrew his Bill for Ireland.
O❑ Lord J. RUSSELL moving that the Clergy Re-
serves (Canada) Bill be read a third time, Mr.
HUME objected to the Bill, that it would not satisfy the
people of Canada, and moved a resolution to give a
more favourable consideration to the wishes of her
MAJESTY'S subjects, aad that the Clergy Reserves
should be sold to provide a fund for education.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL defended the Bill as a fair
settlement of the claims of all parties. Mr. T. HOE-
HOUSE supported it, because he thought it was not
possible to get a better measure this Session.
Mr. HUME divided the House on his resolution,
which was lost by 51 to 10. The Bill was then read
a third time anti passed.
Mr. HODGES gave up the Constabulary Bill for the
Session. _ _ .

thither. If capital be the strength of a Christian I
Church, and its increase the great object of a re •
ligious establishment, there is no answering this
argument.
The Bishop of WINCHESTER, however, pro-
ceeds upon different grounds. He has two objec
Lions to this measure, which it is but justice to
say, comes recommended by the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY and the Ecclesiastical Commission.
The first is, that neither the Universities nor the
Cathedrals have petitioned in favour of it. 'Who but
a Bishop would ever have dreamt that the Cathe-
drals would petition for their own dissolution ? If it
were recommended to reduce the number of Bishops
and apply their revenues to the smaller livings,
would the Bishop of WINCHESTER put his hand
to a petition to that effect ? We have not so much
faith in episcopal virtue as to suppose he would.
As to the Universities not having petitioned for
the Bill—that, we think, may be accounted for on
the principle of sympathy. There are funds beiona-
jug to these Corporations that might perhaps be
usefully directed to the same purpose to which the
revenues of the Cathedrals are to be devoted, and this
may have somewhat influenced them not to urge
the present measure too earnestly on the Legislature.
When your neighbour's house is on fire, your own
is in some little danger.

The Right Rev. Prelate's only other objection is,
that the State has no right to alienate the Cathedral
funds front the purposes for which they were origi-
nally set apart, but is bound to carry into effect, to
all time, the intentions of the pious donors. This is
almost too absurd for a serious answer. We should
like to know what rights the Bishop of WINCHES-
TER would allow the State to exercise, if he would
deprive it of the right to deal with property be-
queathed for public purposes ? And what, may we
ask, would have been the condition of this Right
Rev. Father, and of his brethren—what that

of the whole Anglican clergy, had not the State
taken upon itself to alter the original destination of
Church property
? Why, if the founders of those
very establishments, the breaking up of which the
Bishop regards as such horrid sacrilege, could know
the purposes to which the funds bequeathed by them
are at this moment applied, it would make their very
dust quake, and their mouldering bones clatter in
their graves.

The New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land
Bill was passel with Omcndments.
Scs crat measures were passed through a stage with-
out opposition or remark. The Drainage of Lands Bill
was opposed by Colonel SIETHORP, on account of the
lateness of the Session and of the Bill not having been
discussed ; but on a division the Bill was read a third
time ar.d passed by 44 to 5.
The Parochial Assessments Bill was also opposed,
but. got through a Committee after two divisions.
The Report of a resolution oa the Coal Duties Bill,
for continuing the tax on mils consumed in the metro-
polis, likewise met with opposition, chiefly on the part
of Mr. HAwes ; but the Report was agreed to after a
division by 38 to 10. It stated that the duties on coals
and wines imported into the port of London shall be
continued. A Bill in accordance therewith was brought
i❑ and read a first time, and is to be read a second time
this evening.
The House did a great deal of business, and sat till
Two o'Clock.

The death of the Earl of DURHAM, who was
recently looked up to as the future head of the Li-
beral party, naturally directs the thoughts to other
leaders in the State. We look, however, in vain
for any person who fills such a commanding situa-
tion in the public esteem as to make all the com-
munity say he must be Prime Minister. The na-
tion cannot boast of a WALPOLE, much less of a
CHATHAM or a PITT. We are not, however, of
opinion that the present race of Statesmen are
dwarfs ; they have amongst them more integrity
than WALPOLE, more knowledge of the wants of
society than CHATHAM, and are less influenced and
controlled by an all-commanding popular prejudice
than was PITT ; but there are many of them who are
equal to one another, and all aro muck nearer on a
level with a great mass of public speakers and
public writers, than were the statesmen of a former
period. The rapid communication and general diffu-
sion of intelligence which now prevail, raise the
hulk of the reading politicians nearly to the level of
the Ministers, and produce an equality amongst
statesmen. A single tall tree in a plain attracts gene-
ral attention, nut such a tree in a forest of tall trees is
unnoticed. Because we cannot point to a great
political leader, nominated by all the Prime Minis-
ter of the day, we are not of opinion that our
statesmen have degenerated, but that the number of
equally clever men has increased.
Such a change in them is as favourable to de-
mocracy as the growth of intelligence amongst the
people. There is no ministerial King, and there is
no popular idol. The multitude have left off man-
worship, and reverence principles or abstractions.
They seek good government—liberal government—
government which shall be equal for all, and in
which all shall share ; and the many politicians,
equally clever, who are rivals for power, looking
to the people for support, much enlarge the basis
of the representation. The alteration which is
taking place in the knowledge of the humbler
classes, and in the relative situation of statesmen,
are both favourable to the extension of democracy.

We have a right seriously to complain of the
conduct of the French Government in permitting a
clamour to be raised against this country in the
Paris press, which it has the means of stifling at
any moment, by merely making known those facts
which in England are matters of public notoriety,
relative to the Oriental question. Seeing that
Great Britain is openly charged with had faith to-
wards France, we cannot acquit M. TIIIERS of
blame in allowing so pernicious a rumour to gain
credence, when a word from him would suffice to
disabuse the public mind of so mischievous an
error. The French Minister cannot be insensible
to the evil consequences of allowing groundless
misunderstandings to
,prevail between the sub-
jects of two nations so long hostile to each
other as the people of England and France,
however strong may seem the bond of their
present friendship. It is as difficult a task, as it
is a noble one, to root out old international
jealousies, and the Minister who attempts it should
leave no cause for suspicion unremoved till a habit
of reposing mutual confidence in the statements
and intentions of each other is as firmly established
between the inhabitants of the rival States as be-
tween their respective Governments. The embers
of international jealousy are not easily extinguished.
Embedded in the ashes of old quarrels they setun
extinct, when it requites bur the application of any
sort of fuel to kindle anew the fla►nes of bitter
strife.

In pressing this subject upon the attention of
the French Government we feel assured that our
real object cannot be mistaken. Old England is
as formidable at this moment as she ever was ; and
while most anxious for peace with all the
world, and especially with France, there are few
of her allies in a better condition to take the field,
should she be forced to contemplate the necessity
of drawing the sword in defence of her honour and
just rights. But we would cast oil upon the
troubled waters. In lleaven's name, what has
happened to set the French and English nations
together by the ears ? Why should we quarrel
about the Eastern question ? What has MEHE-
MET ALL done for France, that her Government
should not only propose now to :sacrifice the Otto-
man Empire to his ambition, but involve Europe
in a general war ? In proposing to restore Syria
to the Porte, the Great Powers only redeem a
pledge given by them to the SULTAN at the com-
mencement of these negotiations—namely, to main-
tain the integrity of the Ottoman Empire ; a pledge
of which France was as ready as England to gua-
rantee the fullilment.

We recommend, therefore, a more moderate tone
to our Contumporaries on both sides of the Chan-
nel. It is easy to indulge in vulgar abuse, and to
appeal to the international prejudices of the igno-
rant, whether French or English ; hut public
writers have surely a higher duty to perform than
to pander to the worst passions of their readers.

Abuse of England is the staple of most of the
articles in the Paris Juurnals of Tuesday. In the
Moniteur only is there no attack made upon
British duplicity. Our deprecation of such lan-
guage is briefly but plainly expressed in an article
which will be found elsewhere.

That Lord DURHAM, had he lived, would have
been a great leader, another all-engrossing CHAT-
HAM, wielding the energies of the State by his single
arm, we are far from supposing. He was not a
man for much display, and could never stir up
the enthusiasm of a mob, or enlist the warm feel-
ings of a popular assembly in his favour. It was
not that he was too vain, for ROBESPIERRE was
extremely vain, but withal extremely popular.
We believe that Lord DURHAM was too honest.
To be a leader, a man must submit to be the organ
of the popular prejudices; and Lord DURHAM was
too sincere, was too bold and too pi ond, for that. He
was above flattery of any kind, and if he had been
placed at the head of the Reformers it must have been
from a deep conviction of his worth, joined to a ne-
cessity for having him, and that necessity would
have made him their master. Looking at the
democratic tendency of society, we are inclined to
suppose that Lord DURHAM could not have be-
come, or could not have remained, the chief of the
Reformers. But he is spared the trial, and many
persons, supposing that he might have fillet; that
high station, feel additional regret at his loss.

0 all the speeches delivered on the second read-
ing of the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill,
that of the Bishop of WINCHESTER has afforded
us the most amusement. That a Bishop might
not be a bright genius is a supposition which ex-
perience would perhaps fully warrant ; but that the
Fathers in GOD of the Anglican Church should
claim the privilege of talking greater nonsense than
any of her MAJESTY'S other subjects, is what we
were not prepared to expect, until we read this
Right Reverend effusion.
The object of the Bill in question, as our
readers are aware, is to increase the smaller livings
of the Church, in which many of the best men in
it are all but starving, by taking from the Cathe-
dral establishments a portion of their superabundant
wealth. Prebendaries, Canons, major and minor,
residentiary and non-residentiary, are the drones of
the Church. They are really and trulyfrages con-
sumere ?tali. They have no other duty to perform
than to enjoy, in idleness and luxury, the good
things of this life, without so much as thinking
about that which is to come. It does not, there-
fore, seem an unreasonable proposition that the
number of these supernumeraries should be dimi-
nished, and that the stipends of those who work
for their bread should be somewhat increased out of
the funds thus t•et at liberty.
SIDNEY SMITH—we cannot find it in our
heart to put ,6 Reverend " before that name— de-
fends the Cathedral establishments, on the ground
that they serve the same purposes as prizes in a
lottery. Every body knows that the prizes can fall
yet what multitudes flock to the lottery-
to a very few,
office with their cash, each in the hope that he or
she may be one of the lucky few. So it is, argues
Church. The hope of one

friends of MEHEMET ALI in Paris might desire

the VICEROY cannot, of himself, conquer the
Syrians. M. TRIERS is not such a Quixotic
friend of the PACHA'S as to dream of
supporting him by arms ; nor will he be mad
enough to interfere hostilely, should the British
squadron afford facilities for the return to
Constantinople of such Turkish ships as the
VICEROY may send with reinforcements to the
Syrian coast. The rising in Syria, if successful,
will render the opposition of France to di- award
of the other Great rowers completely nugatory.
Nor can France justly complain of this, seeing
that the ultimatum which they propose is the same
as that agreed to verbally by France herself when
the Five Powers conjointly charged themselves with
settling all differences between the SULTAN and
his vassal.

BRUSSELS, JULY 26.—The official part of the Moniteur
Beige contains the treaty concluded between Belgium and
paill„ by Mob the ships of. i.ekingdom eF 8,1,4-7~ are'

to be received in the Spanish ports ‘-.of the Peninsula and
the adjacent islalids in the same manner as they were re.
ceived during the political union of Belgium and the Ne.
therlands.

Col. Murray was acquitted yesterday by the Jury of the
Court of Assizes. The Court rejected the application of
the Counsel of Mr. Murray to condemn Mr. Grant, ar,d
Mrs. Murray to the payment of 50,000 francs damages for
a calumnious accusation.

(Brussels Papers, 27th and 28th July.)
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 17.—The royal family of
Turin are in expectation of a visit from her Imperial High-
ness the Consort of the Archduke Rainer, Viceroy of Lom-
bardy and Venice, accompanied by two Princesses, her
daughters. There is a report of a proposed marriage of
the elder of these Princesses the Archduchess Mary ( born
Feb. 6, 1821,) with the Crown Prince of Sardinia, Victor
Emanuel, Duke of Savoy, (born 12 March, 1820.)
The late accounts of arrests that bad taken place in con-
sequence of newly discovered secret intrigues in the Roman
States, is confirmed; the number of persons arrested is
said to be 15.
VIENNA, JULY 20._—The Turkish mail, which was ex-
pected to-day, has not arrived, but we have interesting ac-
counts respecting the Oriental question from London,
according to which Lord Palmerston is said to have suc-
ceeded, supported by the wishes of the Austrian Cabinet,
in obtaining from the English Cabinet a definitive resoln-
ti.n, according to which France will be wholly excluded
from the further deliberations on the Turkish-Egyptian
question, and England, decidedly supporting the Conser-
vative principle, will make a serious demonstration against
Mehemet Ali, by sending a squadron to the Syrian coast,
which will be joined by some Austrian men-of-war.

CORON ER'S INQUEST.-BODY FOUND IN THE
RlVER.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr.
Payne, at the workhouse, Parish-street, St. Olave's, on the
body of a young man, name unknown, apparently between 19
and 20 years old. On Tuesday morning last the deceased was
found by a Waterman, floating in the Thames, off Battle-bridge-
stairs. rf
he body appeared to have been in the water six or seven
.days, and was dressed like a sailor. The dress is similar to that
worn by the men of the Dartmouth vessels. The Coroner ad-
journed the inquest until next Wednesday.

The Princess Charlotte Frederick of Denmark,
who, previous to her marriage, was a Princes of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, died at Rome on the 15th inst. Her Royal High-
ness was 58 years of age, and had resided at Rome for a long
time.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.--011 Monday a
costermonger named Michael Sullivan, was taken to Worship-
street Police-court, to answer a charge of assaulting his wife.
Before the time for hearing the case, how-ever, the defendant
contrived to leave the Court, and made off unperceived. Some
hours afterwards he entered his apartments, and some neigh-
bours found him there covered with blood from wounds which
he had inflicted with a razor on various parts of his person.
He had also jobbed the razor into his throat, but without sever-
ing the windpipe. Mr. Wildbore, of Shoreditch, one of the
parochial surgeons, was sent for, and dressed the wounds, but
the wretched man died about five o'clock in the morning.

It has been determined to send another deputa-
tion from the Corporation (at a large outlay) to London, to re-
sist the passing of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. The de-
putation, we understand, is to consist of Mr. Professor Butt,
Mr. ex-Sheriff Quinton, and Mr. John Thompson. Again we
ask—what is become of John Jones ; or has he lost the confi-
dence of the Impracticables ?—Dublin Evening Mail.
ATLANTIC STEAMERS.—The British Queen,
which sailed from Portsmouth for New York on the afternoon
of the Ist inst., was spoken on the 11th, ten days out, in lat.
46 deg,, 26 min., lon. 35. The Britannia, which sailed from
Liverpool for Halifax and Boston on the afternoon of the 4th
inst., was spoken on the forenoon of the 14th, in lat. 46 deg.,
lon. 48 deg. ; she would reach Halifax probably on the
and Boston on the 19th, and make the passage under fifteen
days. The British Queen, from the longitude she was in on
the 11th, would scarcely reach New York earlier than the
18th inst. Bets have indeed been offered that the arrival of
the Britannia would be announced at New York before the
British Queen arrives at the latter port.
SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning a
a man named Luke Taylor, a bricklayer, fell from a scaffold in
the New North-road, a height of forty feet. When raised up
his face presented a most woeful appearance, and not a single
feature thereof could be recognised. He was conveyed to St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, where he lies in a most deplorable
situation.

DEPARTURE OF THE DREADNOUGHT HOS-
PITAL SHIP FOR SHEERNESS.—The Dreadnought line. of-
battle ship, of 9sl guns, which for the last nine years has been
moored off the Royal Hospital, at Greenwich, and has served
the purpose of an hospital-ship, sprung a leak the latter end
of last week, and shipped water at the rate of from 14 to
18 inches per hour; the engine pumps were consequently
obliged to be incessantly at work until the breach was tem-
porarily secured with a piece of thick sail-cloth. At eleven
o'clock yesterday morning the Lightning, Government
steamer, was attached to the Dreadnought for the purpose
of towing her down to Sheerness, where she is to undergo
repairs. As soon as her moorings had been removed, the no-
ble ship floated majestically down the river after her pioneer,
the Lightning, on the top of the tide. There being no rudder
to the Dreadnought, it was necessary, in order to keep her
steady, to lash a steam tug-boat to each of her sides. She thu
proceeded to her destination at Sheerness with a convoy of
three steamers. At the time of her departure there were about
400 sick on board this floating hospital, all of whom, with the
medical officers, nurses, &c., will remain on board during the
time she is hauled up into dry-dock for repairs, which, it is
expected, will not occupy above a week or two, when the
Dreadnought will again take her station as an hospital-ship in
the river.
