gOVERLAND MAIL FROM INDIA.
Our readers will find in another part of The Sun
the whole of the news from India received overland
this morning by Extraordinary Express from Mar-
seilles.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, and other Lords, as her
MAJESTY'S Commissioners,
yesterday gave the Royal
Assent to a whole barrel of Bills, on the principle of
saving labour, as recommended by FRANKLIN.
On the Admiralty Courts Bill being read a third
time, Lord BROUGHAM observed that while by that
Bill they would not allow the Judge of the Admiralty
Court to sit in Parliament, they
allowed, by the Irish
Kanicipalll,.the Recorder of Dublin to sit in the
House of Commons. This ought to be corrected, and
all judicial officers excluded from the House of Com-
mons.

The Bishop of EXETER advertised last night
" liaslam's Letters to the Clergy, ot Denomications,,,
which describes the " Bible as a disgrace to ourang

most
racy d (-trines of the Socialistss
may be heard, wrnely, Ham Common. All these
things did the Bishop advertise on presenting a peti-
tion from tw) Methodist parsons, two solicitors, and five
inhabitants of Mauehester, complaining of the Govern-
ment for pot having iutli ted a heavy punishment on
ABEL HEyWooD, who had published a blasphemous
book without knowing it was blasphemy. Acuter men
than Mr. HEYWOOD will probably be puzzled to know
how abusing or misrepresenting a book eau be blas-
phemy. The Right Rev. Prelate also advertised Mr.
HETHERINGToN'S shop in the Strind, as a place where
curious publications arc sold. and at the same time ad-
vertised the world as to the true nature of his meek
and forgiving temper. In the prosecut.on of these
labours, so useful to Messrs. HEY WOOD, HETHERING-
TON rnd OWEN, the Right Rev. Prelate a:so insinuated,
in a very Chr stian-like sp3eeh, that the Marquis of
NORMANBY had allowed Parliamentary interest to ie.-
fluence him in the administration of justice.
The Marquis of NORMANBY repudiated, with all the
contempt which was consistent with respect for the
station of the Right Rev. Prelate, his Christian insinua-
tion, and then proceeded to explain that he hari not
been iefluenced by the representation of these Members,
but by the reports he had received from Manchester,
and particularly from Sir C. SHAW. Mr. HEYWOOD,
had been only the unconscious instrument of publishing
the nook, and the two Methodist preachers did not
represent all Manchester, which did not wish to perse-
cute Mr. HEYWOOD.
The irate Bishop made a lengthy reply, and blamed
the Government for not persecuting men for matters of
opinion, called by those
who differ from them blas-
pnenry. The interesting conversation was brought to a
close by the Right Rev. Prelate endeavouring to
pique the House of Lords against the Marquis of
NORMANBY,
by declaringthat he never knew
public justice so much outraged as by
the Marquis.
The Pilots Bill was read a second time, after a few
words from the Duke of WELLINGTON.
The Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill went through a
Commit;,ee. Lord SEATON had no doubt that the 13111
would be received with the greatest joy throughout the
Province, which joy. hoxever, the Bishop of EXETER.
true to his character, sought to mar. He moved to
exclude the Roman Catholics from all share of the Re-
serves, and found no less than 16 Peers to vote with
him. Ttrese are the men who seek to dismemb' r the
empire by making sect the political enemy of sect.
Their intent'on was defeated by a majority of JO. We
may consider the measure, then. as passed, though the
Archbishop of
CANTERBURY mourned over the
.spi-
ritual destitution of the Canadas, and implied that by
paying the clergy with the rent of land they would not
be a burden on that people.
The Bill f Rating or Stock in Trade was withdrawn,
end A temnorary Bill is to he introduced!
The Affirmation .Bill was aro
withdrawn, after a few
condemnatory remarks by the Duke Of WELLINGTON
and Lord LYNDHURST.
