ROYAL URREY TEATRE.
Continual overflows. ImSmense success Haine's Spectacle,
"Janel of the Hatchet." The grand Tableaux d'action, and
b P°sing military evolutions of 100 Female Warriors, have
een Witnessed by upwards of 35,000 persons with astonish-
adrneet,ientt. and delight. The awful sublimity of the last scene,
mg the Siege of Beauvois, exceeds every thing hitherto
attempted.

THIS EVENING, AUG. 6.
Will be acted a Grand Historical Spectacle, of unequalled splen-
dour, entitled
JANE OF THE HATCHET.
Supported by the entire strength of the Company,
and One Hundred Female Warriors.
After isLich, a Drama of peculiar interest, called
FIFTEEN YEARS OF A DRUNKARD'S LIFE.
DON To conclude a Comic Piece, called
PEDRO THE CRUEL AND MANUEL THE

MAULE took a part, the deb.ife, ro- the
Mr. HUME, was adjourned till nib.), to all,w rr-
gular business before the House to proceed.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then moved the Order of
the Day for the further consideration of the Report on
the Chancery Bill, and expressed his regret that the
Hon. Member for Ripon should threaten to take advan-
tage of the forms of the House to defeat it. Mr. PEra-
BERTON drew a frightful but true picture of the
unfortunate situation of poor suitors in the Court of
Chancery, whom he maintained had not even the re-
motest chance of ever obtaining justice. Out of
1,700 causes filed in one year, not more than 300 deci-
sions could be obtained, and claimants for less than
1,0001. had no chance of ever been heard at all. He
thought the LORD CHANCELLOR deserved great praise
for his Bill.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL eulogised the speech of Mr.
PEMBERTON—declared himself opposed to having a po-
litical Judge at the head of the Court of Chancery—
and promised to re-introduce the Bin early in the next
Session should it fail in this.

Mr. HUME and Mr. LYNCH expressed themselves
well satisfied with the speeeli of the Noble Lord ; the
House went into Committee on the Bill, when all the
clauses were adopted. and the Bill was ordered to be
read a third time this day.
After the ether Orders of the Day were disposed of
the House rose at a Quarter•past Eleven o'Clock.

The Standard of Tuesday made a formal apo-
logy to its readers for publishing so characteristic
a document as the Protest of the Right Rev. Father
in God HENRY Lord Bishop of EXETER against
the passing of the Irish Municipal Corporations
Bill without the respectful accompaniment of an
editorial comment. The readers of The Sun are
not less entitled to our respectful consideration. We
too have been so wanting in deferential regard to the
dignity of the Mitre as to allow the Lordly Prelate
to appear as a Parliamentary 4‘ dissentient," with-
out going before him in the character of trumpeter
of Mother Church. We confess our error ; and,
after the example of our Apostolical Contemporary,
propose, as an act of heartfelt contrition, to re-in-
troduce the Episcopal Protest to the notice of the
public. And to prevent, as far as we can, the sin
of hastily glancing over it on the part of the pro-
fane, who allow themselves no time to dwell upon,
and to extract the rich marrow of ecclesiastical wis-
dom out of the Bishop's charges and Parliamentary
Protests, we, moreover, propose to introduce
each of the Right Rev. Prelate's reasons separately,
accompanying each with such reflections as it may
suggest to us. We begin with the first :
I. Because no sufficient proofs of delinquency or rols
conduct were adduced against the municipal corporations
of Ireland, to justify so sweeping a measure of destruction,
in contempt of the sacredness of ancient charters, and in
defiance of those principles which, till within the last few
years, were wont to distinguish the legislation of the British
Parliament, and especially of this House.
Here the question suggests itself, What proof of
delinquency would a Tory Prelate deem sufficient
to justify the destruction of an Irish Orange Cor-
poration ? Treason is out of the question, for
there are few Irish corporations which have not
been implicated in the Orange plot of the King of
HANOVER, made familiar to the country by the
Report of a Committee of the House of Commons,
of which the Hon. Member for Kilkenny was
Chairman ; and yet we have never heard that any
member of the Right Reverend Bench denounced
them as the worse Protestants or corporators for the
share they had in that infamous combination
against the laws, the Constitution, and the reigning
Sovereign of these realms. The misappropriation
of the corporate revenues is likewise out of the
question, for the Irish corporations are notorious
for the scandalous infamy of their jobs. The per-
secution of Catholics, and their exclusion from the
rights of citizenship, cannot be pleaded as delin-
quencies, for Bishop PHIL POTTS classes these acts
among the corporate virtues. If, then, the being
nests of traitors, peculators, and civil and religious
persecutors be not criminal, and call not for the in-
terference of such a venerator of hoary mischief as
the House of Lords, in the name of the Lord
Bishop of EXETER.S pastoral crozier, what is it
that episcopally constitutes a corporate delinquency
in Ireland ? But we must proceed :
11. Because, in the admitted absence of such proofs
of delinquency, the plea on which the. measure was
mainly rested, the exclusive character of the existing
corporations, did in effect establish the fidelity of those
bodies to the one great end for which they were
all alike created, the maintenance of the British in-
terest in Ireland ; the more ancient corporations having
been founded as fortresses and fastnesses to protect
that interest against the rebellious attempts of the na-
tive Irish, and of the descendants of the earliest English
settlers ; the more modern combining with this great com-
mon object, the still greater and more sacred purpose of
maintaining the cause of true religion against the unceas-
ing efforts of the Papists to re-establish the domination of
their own priesthood in its grossest and most revolting
form.
