MR. SADLER'S ASCENT FROM ROCHDALE.—Qit
Tursday last Mr. SADLER, accompanied by Mr. PLATT (the
g beautiesbeing
Gentleman from Liverpool who attempted in vain to ascend
will Mr. S. from this town, when Mr. PEEL was obliged to
relinquish his seat in the balloon), made a very successful
and imposing ascent from the yard of the new gas works at
Rochdale, his balloon being filled (we believe gratuitously)
from the gasometer of the works. Theo moyrnwiasn

DAILY
_Extracts from the Morning PdperS, May 10.

[NEW TIM ES%-j
The Drawing Room, which was announced for
Thursday, has been again postponed. As this cir-
cumstance might possibly excite alarm in the
public mind, we are happy to state that the de-
lay is not caused by any increase in the King's
illness. Ou the contrary his Majesty is recovered
from his indisposition ; but the weakness that
still remains renders it obviously improper for
him to attempt to undergo the fatigue of a Draw-
ing Room, which, from the time the presenta-
tions occupy, and the incessant attention required
to the ceremony of reception, is by no means
trifling, even to a person in the enjoyment of
good health.

[MORNING HERALD.]
We are pleased to see such a spirit rising up
in the country, on the part of its various reli-
gibus professors, as that of procuring Acts of
Parliament to enable people to be married,
christened, anti buried in their own way. Who-
ever will read the four Gospels cannot, we think,
gather from them a single expression refusing to
any man the rights we have alluded to. It is in
vain for the Lord Chancellor to attempt to stem
this description of innovation. He may please
himself with the idea, that for a length of time
he has passed for an authority—but the Clergy,
and many of the heads of Government, have in-
structed the people, and put into their hands an
authority, which the people will consider as su-
perior to that of the Church, the Lord Chan-
cellor, or the Ecclesiastical Court.

We are glad that the system adopted of late
years of bringing forward 13111 s late in the Ses-
sion is about to be put a stop to. It is really scan-
dalous that people should be allowed to drive off
Bi.Lls in the manner they have done. Very ill conse-
quences have flowed from such a custom. Many
bad laws have been enacted in consequence, which
it has afterwards been found expedient to repeal.
We are also glad that the House is beginning to
see the bad effects of enabling bodies of men
to establish companies of various descriptions,
privileged by Parliament. We dislike this
mode of giving a certain number of people
exclusive right; we would leave things more
open to competition. It is as bad a system as the
granting of patents for any little supposed new
invention. It would be a proper publication, for
the Government to put forth, the abstracts of all
Bills-propounded in either House. They ought
to be gazetted. At present the greater number
of the people are ignorant as to what is going
on in either House of Parliament. Too many
Bills every Session are passed, as if Aladdin
bad been present with his lamp. It is time such I
a system should be stopped._( /bid.)

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
As the greatest benefit would result from edu-
cating Catholics and Protestants in the same
Schools in Iceland, and the Catholic Priests,
though they are willing to allow selections from

ire think an arrangement
upon agreeable to all parties. It is surely of
importance to gain the concurrence of so inntl.
ential a body as the Catholic Clergy ; and it
not necessary to purchase this concurrence by
any sacrifice of principle on the part of the Pro.
testants. We have stated more than once, that
even in the Parish Schools of Scotland, which are
under the controul of the Church, in many cases
the Bible was not used as a class book. This
position was controverted by the Rev. Edward
Invirro, at the meeting of the London Hibernian
Society, on Saturday, of which a Report will be
found in another column. The individual who
made the assertion does not know what the prac-
tice in Scotland may now be, but he can state

[THE TIMES.]
7itie fact proves to be nearly as we predicted with
respect to the state of the King's health—namely
ltustif, subsequently to the last report, his Majesty
should still prove indisposed, the country would
tuow nothing of the circumstance, except from
necessity, or till-after he had recovered. It now
appears that his Majesty is not able to hold the
drawing-room even on the 13th, and that a far-
t-her •prorogation of a week is necessary. 'We
are of opinion, that the people should be made-
acquainted. with any indisposition of the King
slmultaneons,ly. It is now three weeks since the
last, 'and on thataccasion the only bulletin Was
issued. His Majesty was then declared to be
recovered from an attack, of the existence of
which the nation -had previously known nothing
but from whispers. Weeks, therefore, are passed
since his disorder ceased, and yet his Majesty is
still allowed to be so far- below his ordinary state
of strength, that he is unable to sustain some of
the easiest functions of his station. titre shall
look with some anxiety to the 20th, when we
hope we shall be able to congratulate the coun-
try on the perfect re-establishment of the King's
health, and that best and most satisfactory proof
of it—his appearance before a portion of his
subjects.

Maberly's motion for tl►e repeal of the
Assessed Taxes stands for this evening. We
have always been of opinion that the alleviation
of the burdens imposed upon articles of indis-
pensable necessity should have preceded every
financial experiment. Not that we are enemies
to financial experiments, and particularly to
those which are of a nature to counteract a re-
strictive policy, but that we are great friends to
domestic comforts, by which comforts chiefly it
is that the English are distinguished from ti►e'
other European nations. At present it might
seem, that as all the establishments of the coun-
try, civil, naval, and military, are voted for the
year, it would be incons%stent to refuse the funds
by which they are to be supported : yet we have, 1
ere now, known Ministers obliged to reduce
estimates once voted, because Parliament subse-
quently refused to allow the money ; and we
should not be sorry to see tl►e precedent copied.—
