LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1833.

The second reading of the Irish Church Tempo-
ralities Bill was carried this morning in the House
of Lords by a majority of 59—the numbers being
157 to 98. This triumph, however, was not
achieved without considerable difficulty. Like
children compelled to swallow physic, their Lord-
ships made many wry faces, put forth many doleful
remonstrances, endured many grievous qualms,
before they could be persuaded to gulp down the
nauseous Bill. But gulp it at last they did, though we
fear it will not agree with their constitution, which i 3
delicate to a degree, and obnoxious to all vigorous
restoratives. In other words, we entertain strong
suspicions that the Lords will Burke the Bill in
Committee. This suicidal act will be brought about
by the junction of the moderate with the violent
Tories,-- of the WELLINGTON and HARROWBY with
the NEWCASTLE and ELDON party—both of whom
have boldly declared their determination to oppose the
reduction of the bishoprics. Now, this is the main
principle of the Bill—its very life, its essence, without
which it has no more spirit or vitality than a mummy.
Of course Lord GREY will not hear of such an altera-
tion. Indeed he said as much last night. He " trusted
that no such alterations would be made in the Bill,
as would insure its rejection by the other House of
Parliament. If so, he would very much prefer its
I ejection at once on the second reading." Such
being the proposition of the faction, and such the
reply of Government, who can fail to foresee the
result ? Who can fail to see that the Lords are
resolved to accomplish that by treachery which
they fear to accomplish by a bold, open,
straightforward opposition ? They think, no doubt,
that by allowing the Bill to pass the second read-
ing, and only crippling it in Committee, they will
shitt the onus of its rejection from themselves to
the House of Commons. But their manoeuvre is
a clumsy one, and will work its own ruin. Not a
man in the country but can see throught it. Not a
man in the country but will visit it with the con-
tempt it deserves. The people are not now for the
first time to learn that the House of Lords is their
I nost dangerous, because their most insidious enemy.
'They are by no means deaf to the " Sayings," er
blind to the " Doings" of the Episcopal Bench.
If the Bill be rejected, when returned to the Com-
mons, they will know on whose shoulders to lay
the blame.

The House of Lords, we say so with regret, is

incorrigible. Warning after warning, each more
solemn, each more significant than the last, passes by
them unheard, or at any rate unheeded. In a period
of transition, when not to advance is to be trodden
li
down-=--trampled on—crushed to death by the
mighty pressure in the rear, they are the only body
that imsist on remaining stationary. What is to be
done with such a set of incorrigibles 2 This is an
alarming question to put, but it is one, nevertheless,
which people are constantly putting to each other,
and the reply of one and all is—but we will not
shock their Lordships by repeating it.
The Duke of WELLINGTON'S speech was one of
the most inconsistent—which is saying much—and
one of the most ungenerous—which is saying
more—ever delivered even in the House of Lords.
His Grace condemned Lord GREY for yielding to
that very spirit of agitation which he declared was
his sole motive for carrying the Catholic question.
He holds himself absolved of all guilt for sacri-
ficing principle to expediency (for he always avowed
that he carried emancipation against his own internal
conviction), yet condemns Lord GREY as guilty, be-
cause he surrenders to the same expediency, without
the sacrifice of the slightest principle. His Grace's
arguments against the reduction of the Irish
bishoprics were edifying. He thought that they
were too numerous; but still there they were—
consequently, there they ought ever to remain.
What is this but saying that a blunder, like good
wine, improves by keeping; indeed ceases wholly
to be a blunder the instant it has attained a venera-
ble growth. Admirable logic ! Still more admirable
logician ! If, according to POPE, " a fool at forty
is a fool indeed," what a fine, full grown sample of
fatuity must be a " fool at sixty !"
Lord BROUGIIAM, as usual, was unanswerable in
his advocacy of the Bill. Equally ready to attack as
to defend—to retreat as co advance—to handle the
heavier as well as the lighter weapons of oratory
—to fence with the rapier as well as to cut
down with the broadsword;—this all-accomplished
master of his art—the wit—the satirist—the rheto-
rician—the philosopher—proved himself singly a
match—and more than a match—for the whole
array of Temporal and Spiritual Peers united. Not
a Peer in the House attempted the slightest reply
to his arguments—a proof that some little discretion
still lingers there.
Of the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S speech we say no-
thing, for like the Riot Act, it had the effect or dis-
persing the crowd, and of course, in the hurry and
confusion occasioned by the rush of Noble Lords
to the doors, was ittauJible.

The whole of the morning and some part of the
evening sitting of the House of Commons was yes-
terday occupied with a discussion upon the question
of making an alteration in the Church Establish-
ment in India. Of the soundness of the principle
that every communion ought to support its own
Ministers, and not call upon others to defray a
part of their expenses, or that all should be pro-
portionally paid from a public fund, there cannot be
a doubt. But we cannot help thinking that his
Majesty's Ministers were not fairly dealt by, in the
opposition they received from a part of the House
of Commons to a proposition which did not at all
touch that great question. Under the provisions
of former Acts of Parliament, a certain sum
is now appropriated to the Bishop of Cal-
cutta and two Archdeacons at Madras and Bombay.
Owing to the laborious nature of the duties at pre-
sent devolving upon the Bishop, the deaths among
the divines appointed to that office have followed
each other so rapidly as to make the acceptance of
the appointment considered an act of martyrdom.
Long intervals have, in consequence, frequently
elapsed, during which India has been without epis-
copal superintendence of any kind. With a view to
remedy these defects in the system, his Majesty's Ministers
did not propose any increase of expenditure, but simply to
make such a division of the sum at present appropriated
to the Bishop and Archdeacons as will maintain an Arch-
bishop, two Bishops, and the Archdeacons. If this
proposition had been defeated instead of carried, the money
would not the less have been paid, but it would have been
for inefficient instead of efficient service. We could have
understood the meaning of a proposition to cease the pay-
ment altogether, but we are at a loss to understand what
advantage Mr. HusrE and his friends proposed to them-
selves by opposing an obvious improvement.
As we have adopted the principle in India of
paying ministers of religion out of the Exchequer,
we certainly think it would be fair to extend it to
the ministers of all persuasions which are in sufficient
numbers to warrant a public grant. The President of the
Board of Control said that " he knew there was a very large
Roman Catholic community in India, and they deserved
the particular regard and consideration of the Go-
vernment, but in what mode, to what extent, and
under what form their claims could be satisfied, he was
not prepared to state; it would not be difficult, however,
to adjust the matter between parties who applied them-
selves fairly and sincerely to the task." Mr. O'CoNNELL
afterwards expressed himself satisfied with this promise,
and we doubt not that the result will be the making
of some public provision for the ministers of all Christian
persuasions. If so, we would suggest that, in order to pre-
vent abuses, some plan should be adopted, similar to that
practisedin the distribution of the funds granted by Par-
liament towards the erection and support of schools in
Ireland ; that is to say, that all congregations desir-
ing the appointment of a pastor, should undertake
to pay a fixed proportion of his salary. Colonel
HAT, in order that there might be no doubt as
to the recognition of the Scotch Church in India, moved
lase in the evening that two of the Chaplains at each
Presidency should be Presbyterians, and succeeded in his
motion by a majority of 63 to 35.

We have received a letter from Oporto, dated
late in the evening of the 6th inst., which states that
in the afternoon of that day intelligence had reached
the city from the Miguelite lines at Villa Nova, of
the arrival of a telegraphic despatch there from
Lisbon, bringing accounts of the capture of the
Miguelite fleet by Admiral NAPIER. This account
being well authenticated, great rejoicings took
place immediately in Oporto. The great tower
Torres Clericos, was brilliantly lighted up, and the
whole city was illuminated. Groups were in the
streets singing the Constitutional hymn, and
shouting, " Viva Donna MARIA," and guns were
firing in every direction. It was also added
that the people of Lisbon had risen, but
this required confirmation. It was, how-
ever, extremely probable, for it appears that the
news of the capture of the Miguelite fleet was re-
ceived in Lisbon on the evening of the sth, a very
few hours after the engagement, and, as the whole
country round Lisbon was in a state of excitement,
the friends of Donna MARIA would naturally take
advantage of so important a piece of news to excite
a general rising against the Miguelite troops in the
city, who did not, with the exception of the police,
exceed 6,000 in number.

Chancery suitors are about to have a crumb of
comfort put within their reach ; the Bill for regulating
the proceedings and practice of certain offices of
the Court of Chancery having passed the House of
Lords and been read last night a first time in the
House of Commons. Unless some unforeseen cir-
cumstance should suddenly dissolve Parliament, we
doubt not that this will be one of the Bills which
will this session be passed for the relief of the
people. We say for the relief of the people, because
the entire community is interested in having justice
as accessible and cheap as possible. Another mea-
sure of beneficial law reform also progressed a stage.
kVe allude to the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, which
was considered in Committee arid reported. The
report is to be further considered on Wednesday
next. The opposition to this Bill in the House
of Commons has been greater than we could have
anticipated to such a measure of rational legislation
in the year 1833. We should not doubt of its suc-
cess in the Upper House were Noble Lords subject
to the same inconveniences as meaner men on non-
payment of their debts. As the matter stands, the
result is doubtful.

The great, but steady, progress of e►+lightened
opinion on commercial matters in France, seems ►o
have alarmed the Iron and Coal monopolists there,
who have been for so many years levying their con-
►ributions on the French public, to the detriment of

all the truly important and popular interests. The
quick sagacity which distinguishes our neighbours
wheaever their attention is awakened, has been
much directed to the causes of commercial stagna-
tion of late, and the ruinous results of misdirected
capital,—the bankruptcy of several of their great
protected manufacturers,—the menaced fall of others,
are teaching lessons of truth and wisdom, which
will be permanently useful. We are sorry to see a
Ministerial Newspaper, the Journal de Paris, en-
deavouring to bolster up the prohibitory system by
articles so crude and childish as to be unworthy of
the times in which we live. Nor will English readers
easily believe that England is quotedsas the autho-
rity and encouragement for the exaction of enormous
duties as the best means of increasing the revenues—
England, the first teacher of the invaluable and sa-
tisfactory truth, that in custom-house arithmetic two
and two do not make four—England, every page
of whose fiscal history shows that judiciously to
diminish duties on the great articles of consumption
is the true strategy of finance—England, that now
laughs to scorn those narrow-minded managers of
her treasury of other days—who (poor dreamers !)
fancied they had only to double taxes in order to
double receipts—and who stared in helpless asto-
nishment when they found themselves minus aftet
their Crcesian experiment ! If France will honour
us by imitation, let her adopt our wisdom—but re-
pudiate our folly.

We have this day received a file of the Oporto
Chronicle to the 6th instant. They contain nothing
of interest, however, except the official account of
the engagement of the sth, which we were able to
give exclusively yesterday.
