hoOd in eVery living in England.
Inheriting, as each generation does, the know-
ledge of its predecessors—being, in fact moulded,
in great part, in heart, mind; and afreetian by them
—it cannot fail to 'respect every disposition they
may have made of their property. Hence it
and it is a very striking feature, we in the
history of inan—that the present generation per-
mits a portion of its annual produce to be disposed
of according to the testamentary dispositiol
men who lived as long ago as ALFRED the
GREAT. That, we humbly think, is showing re-
spect enough for our ancestors, and it is carried a
great deal too far, when an appropriation of pro,
perty, now noxious to the public, is continued because
they or their immediate successors, acting, too,
under the acknowledged influence of superstitiYN,
and terrified by a designing and knavish priesthood,
so willed it. The bulk of the revenues of our
Cathedrals, the bulk of the income of the two
Universities, the bulk of the property, as it is
called, of the Church, had such an origin, and is
now amazingly injurious to the public. To hold
up large bribes for hypocrisy and lying, to set
apart an enormous rev,,oue to be enjoyed only on
condition of denying freedom to other men, is, in
our estimation, as mischevious a destination of the
public resources as ever was devised. A Church
endowed to maintain a certain set of doctrines, not
to discover and enforce truth, to keep up some cer,
tain set of usages without any proof that they are
useful, except the assertions of those who profit by
them, seems to us to contradict the first law of
society, which, as it is impressed on the heart of
every individual, commanding him to better his
condition, commands society to move onward.

Our readers will no doubt remember that the
Tories joined the Radical Members of the House
of Commons in voting that the Judge of the Ad-
miralty Court should not sit in Parliament when-
ever the present Judge shall vacate his seat. It
was a Tory who moved the amendment by which
that question was decided, and then the whole squad
of Tories professed—as they are always ready to
profess, when they have a party purpose to serve, a
most unbounded reverence for the pure and uptight
administration of justice. Following out that prin-
ciple, though without applying it to any individual,
the Ministers introduced a clause into the Irish
Municipal Bill to enable the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland to direct the holding of frequent sessions by
the Recorder of Dublin, for the discharge of pri-
soners. We explained, in our summary, that
this clause was set aside by Lord LYNDrIURST,
and we borrowed a paragraph from the Herald
which characterised the Noble Lord's con-
duct as perpetrating a monstrous job for the
sake of Mr. Recorder SHAW. The hypocritical
Tories, therefore, have no more regard for the
pure administration of justice, than they have for
the liberties of the people, when to trample on
either suits their party purpose,
Some of the Peers accused the Ministers of
having proposed the clause for the purpose of ex-
cluding Mr. SHAW personally from the House of
Commons. " The Duke of WELLINGTON," Says
the Examiner, " comported himself with a crazy
sort of violence on this occasion. He rantingly
dared Ministers to exclude Mr. SIIAW by name."
The Marquis of LANS'POWNE stated that the
clause had been drawn up, not because the Re,
corder was a Member of Parliament, but because
the Ministers were bound to see an efficient Re-
corder, and justice efficiently administered in
Dublin. The testimony, however, of an opponent
in favour of the Ministers, is preferable to their
own assertions, and we shall, therefore) corroborate
the charge made by the Herald against its own
friends, by quoting a paragraph from the Standard.
On Saturday that Journal said—
We can suppose a zAse opposite to that assumed by the
majority of their Lordshipt._the case of a golod 171..overn-
ment and a bad Recorder. Irs it right tO leave the Govern-
ment in such a case within) the power of compelling the
Recorder to do his duty ? And what are the objections to
observing the analogy of the general law, and the reasons
for making in Dublin an exception to the law which is ad-
mitted to be proper in the other incorporated towns of Ire..
land? We hear but of one suth objettion, but of one such
reason—because the Recorder oi'Dublin is now a Member
of the House of CoMmOns i Surely this is carrying a little
too far, in the individual case, a respect for vested
interests. The country is to be deprived of a bene-
ficialpluriialt:;aw beense one gentleman happens to enjoy a
which no man hereafter may ever enjoy, and
eLjoys it in circumstances which may never again arise.
We think that no judge ought to sit in the House of Com-
mons ; but these objections must be strengthened a hun-
dred-fold if the principle shall be adopted, that a Member
of the House of Commons, if a judge, is to be allowed a
latitude not allowed to other judges. See to what this
principle may lead in the case of the city of Dublin itself.
The Recorder may be a candidate for the votes of those
amongst whom it is his duty to administer justice without
favour or affection—a great inconvenience, if not a great
indecency. He succeeds in becoming the representative
of the suitors to his court ; he is their zealous, their, pos-
sibly, fanatical organ in Parliament. The duties of his

posing an impossible, or a remotely possible case; we are
supposing what will be almost certainly the case of the
first Romanist or pro-Romanist Recorder of Dublin; and
we are very far from pledging our credit that the present
Recorder may not be himself the man."
In these observations we see a full justification
of Ministers, and a complete condemnation by the
Standard as well as the Herald, of the SHAW-
LYNDHURST monstrous job. Those two journals
appear at length to have become ashamed of their
party, and, with some of the dignity and pride
which ought to belong to those who preside over
the press, they object in this instance to be the
obsequious tools of their hypocritical leaders.

We are glad to see that Lord JOHN RUSSELL
did not give way on Saturday to the wily suggestion
of Mr. J. NICHOLL, to place JOHN THORO-
GOOD, as Mr. BAINES said, in a worse situation
than at present. Mr. JOHN NICHOLL meant
well, no doubt, for the Ecclesiastical Courts ; but
the simple Bill of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to
enable the Courts to discharge JOHN THORO-
GOOD, was preferred by the House, and passed
through a stage, while the rival Bill of the kind
Mr. J. NICHOLL was withdrawn. How extremely
amiable is this gentleman, as the representative of
the clergy, still to require that their hook should
be kept in the nostrils of the honest JOHN
THOROGOOD.

The Flanders and Dutch mail received last
night has brought the subjoined intelligence of the
war which Russia is waging with undiminished
vigour against the brave Circassians. No power
knows better when to strike an effectual blow than
Russia. It was when a Reform Bill agitated the mind
and distracted the attention of England, and when a
revolution paralysed the energies and averted the
vigilant eye of France, that Russia contrived that
an insurrection should take place in Poland, which
served as a pretext for annihilating the separate ex-
istence of an independent State ; and now that
England and France are at variance about the
Oriental question, we are not surprised to hear that
she is making prodigious efforts to add Circassia
to her conquests, and thus open a way for her
troops to Syria, at whatever time she may choose
to push her conquests in that direction. Her al-
liance with us on the Oriental question, does not in
the slightest degree diminish our general distrust of
her, and we sincerely hope that public men will not
relax in their vigilant observance of her insidious
policy out of any pique towards France. Be it
carefully remembered, that the Convention agreed
upon by Four out of the Five Great Powers was
only adopted by England as the surest way of baffling
the secret policy of the Cabinet of St. Peter3burgh,
which aims at the Protectorship of Turkey as the
first step towards the seizure of Constantinople.
It is too late to call upon the British Govern-
ment to take any measure for calling in question the
right of Russia to make war on Circassia, and we
fear equally fruitless to express a hope that the gal-
lant volunteers who have joined the Circassians will
receive an augmentation of numbers, now that the
civil war is ended in Spain. And yet CABRERA
and BALMASEDA, could they be prevailed upon to
fight under the standard of the Circassian Chiefs,
might yet atone to liberty for the atrocities which
they committed in Spain.
BEssARABIA, JULY 9.—French troops from Poland con-
tinue to arrive in Bessarabia, following the detachments
which have proceeded by forced marches to the Caucasian
provinces ; the marches are so precipitated that the troops
advance thirty or thirty-five wersts per day (three wersts
make two English miles). As these last troops have a
quantity of heavy artillery with them
.
which cannot be em-
ployed in the mountains of Circassia, it supposed that
the Caucasus is not the sole object of their destination,
An immense number of waggons folio=s the trcops with
the most necessary supplies. 40,000 axes have been pro.
vided that every man may have one; they are intended to
clear the forests of the Caucasus whore it cannot be effected

•by fire. The soldiers, however, probably in consequence
of the fatigues of the march, appear to be rather
dispirited, while we hear from the Caucasus of
the most enthtfsidsti resolution. Even Russian
'Accra who were engaged in last year's campaign
relate astonishing instances of the bra Very and here.ic eV;
votedness of the Circassian% !t IS affirmed that the ope-
rations of the Circassians indicate a regular plan, which
rprises even experienced tacticians. They are said to
be chiefly led by Poles, and the names of Potoaki, ea-
banski, and Czatorski are snoken of. French and English
officers, tne: an said to be • among them. With re7ct,
the Russian plan for the
nothing is positively
known. In th 'last place, the corps under General
GralYl:e on the Kuban, neeep.t'ing the line of the Black
Sea to the Caspian, is to remain on the defensive. It is
confirmed that the Circassians have broken through this
line, passed the Kuban, surprised and taken threii of the
strongest forts, and cut tO pieces th greater part of the
garrisons. Thi.a is said to have been the fate of the Rus-
sian TZirartermaster General Gltsfort, and his whole
staff. Much light artillery and part of the camp fell into
the hands of the Circassians, who are taid t' hate ad-
vanced to Anapa, and to haVe taken that fortress. The
loss of the Russians, in their recent encounter, is said to
bare been very considerable ; but it is reported that they
soon recovered their losses, and have retaken all the forts,
including Anapa. Measures are taken on the Dniester to
improve the navigation of that river. The Russian Go-
vernment intend to eatablith a now lataretto at Muhilcv.

An express has just arrived from Paris with the
intelligence that everything looked more patific
yesterday. The tone of Sunday's Jouilials was
greatly moderated) and no fresh Ordinances, as
expected, appeared in the Moniteur. This is
what we were prepared to expect, when the good
sense of the French people could have time to or,
rate upon the national Councils,

We have received the whole of the Paris Jour-
nals of Friday and Saturday, together with Madrid
Papers of the 25th ult.---and from both interesting
extracts will he found in another part of THE
Surf. The tone of the French Journals is still
warlike, though a good deal moderated since Wed-
nesday last. The shout " War with tugland”
sounds ridiculous after eommon sense has put the
question What about ?" But the Government
has nevertheless proceeded to redeem the pledge
which it gave, to be prepared against any emergency.
The Moniteur of Saturday publishes two Royal
decrees dated the 29th of July—the first calling
into active service, from the 9th inst., all the yonng
conscripts of the second portion of the contingent
of 1836, and all that are still disposable of the
contingent of 1839 ; the second Royal ordinance
authorises the Minister of Marine to open extraor-
dinary credits for increasing, by 10,000 men, the •
effectual force of the navy, besides five ships of the
line, thirteen frigates, and nine steamers. Admiral
RoussiN is also preparing an extensive promotion,
in order to fill up the staff of the fleet ; so" that, in
every public department, as much energy is now
displayed by the French Government, as if a war,
on the most extensive scale, had actually been de-
clared,

But notwithstanding these notes of preparation,
we do not believe that the peace of Europe will be
dimiabed at present. Louis PHILIPPE has 110
inclination to go to war about an affair in which
France has no more interest than any of the other
Powers ), and although M. THIERS may pant to
distinguish himself as the NAPOLEON of the Ca-
binet, we can hardly believe that even he would
embroil Europe to augment a reputation for accoms
plished statesmanship.
Without being in the least intimidated by the
hostile bluster of the Paris Press of the early part of
last week, we are greatly gratified to
.witness the
moderation assumed by the same Journals At
its close: The language of violence or recri-
mination is un;Yorthy of such civilized Powers
as England and France. Mere btiaStitig on
either side is equally opposed to the dictates
of sound judgment and good taste. We do not
require to be told, by Way of bravado, of the
warlike resources, of the courage, and of the in-
.*indbility of France. We have more than once
voluntarily admitted the possession by France of
all the attributes of military glory claimed by her
public writers, without so much as an allusion to
the potency of a nation who more than once suc-
cessfully braved her as an enemy, and in the hour
of victory only sought to secure her friendship. Upon
this point the following extract from an article in the
Times of this morning is in entire harmony with
our sentiments, and, though somewhat long, we are
confident our readers will be glad to learn from it
that the Times has taken a correct and patriotic
view of a question of so much importance to the
peace of Europe :
Most earnestly do we deprecate the violent outbreak of
national pride, and all the clamour of martial preparation,
which have reached us through the French press. These
detestable opportunities of strife are hailed in a tone of
exultation which should be laid aside. A people holding
so high a place in the rank of civilized nations should re-
monstrate with a nation as civilized as itself in calmer and
more pacific language than that which is necessarily used
to the semi-barbarians of Cairo or Pekin. We do not share
the predilection of the French people or the French Govern-
ment for the Pacha ; but if aught of needless mistrust or
personal slight has been shown towards France or her
able and respected representative in this country by
the British Government, or by foreign diplomatists in
London, the people of England are now as much as ever
disposed to testify their esteem for the French alliance,
whether that country send us a marshal or a philosopher
—a Soult or a Guizot. But the people of England look
on nothing with more contempt than hot and misplaced
indignation, even though it be supported by undoubted re-
sources and untarnished bravery,

We are sincerely desirous that the Eastern question should
be settled ; but if any proof be needed of the hold which the
alliance with France has acquired upon the opinions and the
interests of this country, that proof will be found in the general
dread of the public lest a settlement, otherwise so desirable,
should be obtained at too great a risk. But if France act with
good sense and good faith, that risk, as we stated on Sa-
turday, is very small; for what and where is there the
cause of war ? Arc nations to be estranged by the same
puny causes which drove the pedantic and punctilious
Courts of the 17th and 18th centuries to arms ! Or where,
in this instance, is the national insult or the national
wrong which can justify so violent and desperate a re-
sentment ? If, by the untoward course of events, these
sparks aro wafted on till they threaten the fabric of
European society with a conflagration, it will be recorded
that events so disastrous never sprang from a more
paltry cause. Such a war would be begun, not for inde-
pendence, for Poland perished unassisted ; not for
freedom, for the appeal of the most oppressed coun-
tries in Europe has been made in vain ; not for fame, for
enough of fame has been bought by France, though at too
dear a price ; not for a territorial aggrandizement, for the
disputants on neither side put forth their own claim to pos-
session ; not to fulfil the faith of treaties, for France having
signed the collective note of the 27th of July, for the main-
tenance of the integrity of the Ottoman empire, has already
pledged herself, at least, not to assail it. Are we then ex-
posed to these dangers for the sake of a desperado like
Mehemet Ali, whose hard Government is placed, even by
his supporters, on the lowest level of Oriental despotism, or
for the sake of the barbarous and lawless population of the
pachalic of Aleppo and Mesopotamia?
The details of the Eastern question are in themselves so
contemptible—the rival powers so similar in their badness,
that this apple of discord is not even an apple of gold.
The loss of one drop of Christian blood shed in war in
the heart of Europe is followed by more calamities, and is
more grievous to humanity, than the massacre of a horde
of Mussulman insurgents. The evils of war are exactly
proportioned to the civilization of the countries engaged in
it. The nations which have made most progress in the
arts of peace arc most afflicted by the interruption of them ;
and if France and England stoop to share the violence
they ought to made rate, the advantages even of victory will
be shared or engrossed by powers quite unable as yet to
compete with either of them in benefiting mankind, though
ready to surpass them in bloodshed ; the burden and the
ruin will rest upon themselves.
But, although it cannot be concealed that the utmost
foresight cannot insure the avoidance of sci,fatal a rupture,
is it too much to ask and to hope that a social and Chris-
tian spirit may yet command the elements of political
strife? If we are separated from France en this question,
that is no reason for severing the great and numerous in-
terests by which we are now and for the future as much
united to that nation as we were yesterday.
If, on the other hand, we find ourselves strangely com-
bined with Russia in this particular treaty, that is no
reason for laying aside our long sigilanco of her designs,
and our protestations against the spirit manifested by
so many of her previous and her present actions.
On the contrary, that vigilance requires to be redoubled,
especially if we have to deal with her either as friend or
foe single-handed. We have ere this contracted alliances
with Russia, from which she has extracted all the benefit
she sought ; we have ere this fought battles of which she
has reaped the spoil. England is not more inclined now
than she has ever been before to tolerate Russian dominion
in Constantinople ; and, great as is the responsibility of
those who have ventured on so bold a course for the attain.
meta of its immediate object, that responsibility binds
them under the heaviest and most solemn obligations to
provide against the possibility of being deceived by its
ultimate results.
The following is a summary of the miscellaneous
news in the French Papers of Friday and Satur-
day :
All the :noise in the journals of M. Thiers deceives no-
body. If there were anything serious in these demon-
strations the Chambers would be convoked. The English
Parliament is sitting, the French Parliament ought like-
wise to be sitting. So long as the ordinance for con-
voking the Chambers does not appear in the Moniteur,
we shall consider the language of the journalists as no
more than idle words.

of the fate of the Palmerston Administration. The Eng-

there is no reason whatever to believe that this news has

any foundation. Admiral Duperre was at his seat as
Cel!cues, near _Blois, when he received by express orders
to be in readiness to tale the Command-in-Chief of our
navel force. He immediately Set out for Paris.—Gaiette

We know that the contractor for the navy has been sum-
moned by the Minister of the Marine, and that he has had
several conferences with hill on the 'quantity of articles
which be could furnish in a given tithe,
As for the armaments, the Presse says that Admiral
Duperrc having accepted the command in chief of the
naval force in the Mediterranean, twenty ships of the line,
Rill be under his prdeFa.
Letters from Marseilles, received at Paris to day, says
the Sieck, announces that the Egyptian troops landed in
Syria have had an engagerhent with the Druses in which
the latter suffered great loss. After this battle, of which

are said to have shown an inclination to make their sub-

The :Constitutionnel states, that 150 Spanish non.com-

french service on the 20th ult. at Perpignan, and 300 on
the 21st. Those engagements continue.
A private letter dated Rome, the 18th ult., to the Jour-
nal des Debate, mentions that the Duke Alexander de
Torlonia, the head of the Celebrated banking-house of that
name, was married on the 17th ult. to the Princess Teresa
Colonna, a young lady
of 18 years of age, whose fortune
amounts to about 3,500,000 Roman seudi (morn than
500,000/. British.)
The Journal des Debate states that Captain Lescauff,
of the brig La Julio, arrived at Dunkirk on the 24th. On
the sth he saved seven men whom he found on a craft with* '
out sail or rudder, belonging to the English galliot the
Lisbon, which had taken fire, and was abandoned by her
crag.

PAMI ANn ROT:EN RAILWAY BILL—The first general
meeting of the shareholders of the Faris and Rouen Rail-
way was held on Thursday, at the salOon of M. flertt;, in
the Rue do la Victoriet to deliberate on the modification
of the statutes rendered necessary by the changes in the
Bill which were made by the Chambers. About 250 per-
sons wera oresent, representing 31,000 shares of the total
number of d ~, 2,000. The statutes require for the general
meetings only the presence of 200 shareholders. M.
Laffittc, wile presided on this oecasionj read the Report of
the Committee of Management, of which he is Chairman,
and froth width it appears that three years will suffice for
the termination of the vsliol6 line. The proposed modi-

their power to get the interest guaranteed by Government,
and whith had been reduced from 4 per cent, to 3 per

lIISH MUNICIPAL fut.—The Reread, consistently,
this morning again denounces the Shaw-Lyndhurst
job ; but we regret to say that we believe the clause,
as amended by the Lords, will not be rejected by the
Commons. In fact, it seems hardly worth while to
delay the settlement of a question which has agitated
the country for four years, in order to rescue the Tories
from the stigma with which they have branded them-
selvea,

POLISH REFUGEES.--AVe arc informed that Lord
Sandon is to call the attention of the House this evening
to the case of the Pohsh Refugees. We trust that
Members of all parties, in the. House will unanimously Lord Sandon 's motion. Surely there never
was a better occasion for the British Parliament to ex-
press, at a small expense, its feelings in favour of Po-
land. We intreat our iriends, and ail the friends of
whatever is just and noble, to display their right feeling
by coming forward to support Lord Sandon's motion.
What is sought is that instead of one hundred and
fifty-eight who are gone, fifty-two Polish refugees should
be admitted to participate in the Parliamentary grant,
the sum already voted being more than sufficient for the
purpose. What the House is conjured to do is, with-
out voting one additional shilling, to rescue from appal-
ling misery fifty-two victims to their attachment to the
noblest of causes —Morning Advertiser.
Our readers will find in another column aa official
account of the present state of the French navy, and
of the extent to which the French Government pos-
sesses the means of augmenting it to meet any sudden

BRIGHTON, JuLY3l.—The Duke and Duchess
de Nemours, accompanied by General Colbert and the Countess
d'Oraison, arrived at the Albion Hotel this morning from
Goodwood, at eleven o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses alto
breakfast rode over to the Pavilion, and inspected her Ma-
jesty's marine residence. About a quarter before two their
Royal Highnesses and suite rode to the Pier in an open car-
riage. The Royal Pair were most respectfully saluted by
thousands of well-dressed persons un the Pier, who had assem-
bled to witness their embarkation. The General Steam Navi-
gation Company's packet the Dart, which had been specially
engaged to convey their Royal Highnesses across the Chan-
nel, left the Pier-head about two o'clock, and is expected to
reach Dieppe about eight this evening.
The Earl of Ducie, on Friday, eat for the first
time in the House of Lords since the death of his father ; his
Lordship then took the oaths and his seat.
TII E NEWSPAPER PRESS.—The increase in
the circulation of London newspapers, since the reduction of
the stamp duty, has been annually 9,885,943, or 47 per cent.
on the previous circulation. The increase in the English pro-
vincials has been 11,370,452, or 137 per cent. ; Scotch,
1,3-0,006, or 49 per cent.; and Irish, 364,452, or 7 per cent.
on former circulation.

Dr. Bowling has arrived in Exeter on a short
visit to his father, C. Bowring, Esq., of Larkbeare. The
learned Doctor proceeds afterwards to a public dinner to be
given to him at Falmouth.
The funeral of the Earl of Durham will take
place in about ten days at Chester-le-street, near Lambton
Castle, in the vault of the Lambton family. His Lordship's
remains will be landed at North Shields or Sunderland, from
the Albatros yacht, and thence conveyed to Lambton Castle,
where they will lie in state. The Countess of Durham and the
Ladies Lambton did not arrive at Cleveland House from Cowes
until Friday evening at seven o'clock. Her Ladyship leaves
town for Howick Hall this morning, accompanied by her
noble parents, Earl and Countess Grey.
THE MARQUIS OF DOURO.—The eldest son
of the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Douro, has been
paying Liverpool a visit during the present week. He visited
the Custom-house, Town-hall, shipping, and other objects of
attraction in the town, with all of which he expressed his de-
r light.—Lieerpool Chronicle.
FORESTALLING.—It appears that this practice
has also been very prevalent in Loughborough, and that the
lord of the manor has issued a public notice published in Lei-
cester, with a view of putting a stop to the system in our
market.—Leicester Mercury.

GooDwooD.—l can scarcely find language to
express the surpassing brilliancy of the Goodwood Meeting,
brought to a close on Friday. To use the words of Lord Eg-
linton, one of the stewards, it has been the best meeting ever

llarkaway Cup, and twenty-four for the 300 sovereigns, the
munificent gift of the Stewards.—Post.
