On Saturday afternoon two inquests were held
at
parents, and
Hospital, on view of the bodies of Sarah
Caroline White aged six years, and Emma Picket, aged seven
years.
ts In both' cases the poor children were left alone by their
and by accident their clothes caught fire, and the burns
were of such a nature as to cause death on Friday afternoon
last. Upwards of twenty similar cases have been taken by the
metropolitan coroners during the past week. On Saturday an
inpsest was taken before Mr. Wakley, at the Old Fish,
Baldwin's-gardens, on view of the body of Mary Ilaycraft, aced
56, who was " Accidentally killed by a fall whilst intoxicated.'

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALLS.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the Globe.)
Mr. Baines has succeeded in bringing before Parlia-
ment an important proposition for increasing the efficiency
of one of our most important national institutions,
viz., the Religious Establishment. On Wednesday
a Bill was introduced, and read a first time, fouliced
on a resolution previously carried, " for the abo.
lition of first-fruits and tenths of the clergy, as at
present enforced in England and Wales, after the next
avoidance; and in lieu thereof, to levy an annual as-
sessment of one-tenth part of the clear annual value
upon all archbishoprics and bishoprics, and upon all
dignities, benefices, and other spiritual promotions
above the clear yearly value of 3001. ; to be ap
plied, in the first instance, to the augmentation of the
maintenance of the poor Clergy, and afterwards to the
building and rebuilding of Churches, and such otb er pur-
poses as may conduce to the interests of religion." The
very disproportionately large revenues of a few of the
Clergy, while the greater portion of them are left with
scanty and most inadequate incomes, has long been matter
of reproach to the Church ; calculated, as it is, to diminish
the spirituality of its character, and tending to prevent the
reciprocity of affection between its Ministers and the
people ; and of reflection on the State, which, having
control over the revenues of the Church, has so long
suffered this disproportion to exist.
(From the Standard.)
Sir George Sinclair's -4, ceeh, in attempting to cause
the rejection of the Irish Municipal Bill, was
excellent, and it was well supported by the speech of
the seconder, Mr. Emerson Tennent. Upon the
general question we have too frequently offered our
opinion, to render any detailed repetition necessary. We
see that the Bill, instead of promoting internal peace in Ire-
land, will promote a periodical succession of strug-
gles in every incorporated town ; that the Romanist
Radical party will succeed uniformly in these strug-
gles, and that the result will be to give to the
party disaffected to the British connection a vast
increase of power, and constant motive for exercising that
power to the injury of the Protestant Church and the
disturbance of the peace of the island. The Bill, too, if
it finally pass, will be as little conducive to the ease of
Parliament as to the tranquillity of Ireland.
(From the Courier.)
No one, we apprehend, will be found sufficiently hardy
to assert that the sufferings of industry in Belgium are
attributable to Corn-laws, or to the high price of bread.
Such being the case in Belgium, where the progress of the
cotton trade has been so remarkable, let us turn to the state
of affairs in France as prevailing at the present momen. Ac-
cording to accredited accounts the situation of tharench cot-
ton manufacturers is scarcely less deplorable than that:of their
Belgian neighbours. Operatives are out of work in Rouen
and Mulhausen, with their dependent localities, by thou-
sands, and the trade can be carried on in a diminished pro-
portion only at the cost of enormous sacrifices to the
masters. In France there are Corn-laws, Corn-laws based
on almost precisely the same principle and carried out in the
same details as in this country. Yet not one voice is raised
throughout the whole of that great empire against the
Corn-laws, not one individual in the manufacturing dis-
tricts now suffering so severely is found so dishonest or
ignorant as to charge trading disaster upon the Corn-laws,
