SAILORS' FEMALE ORPHAN HOME.

This admirable institution, which, in its early history,
was under 3 management that excited distrust in the public
mind, and prevented the general extension of benevolence
towards it, has just been re-organized under very flattering
auspices, and become an independent institution, having a
committee of respectable ladies, her Royal Highnests the
Duchess of Kent for its patronness, and Lord Henley for
its patron.
On Wednesday evening a public meeting of its suppor-
ters was held at Exeter Hall, at which Captain Brenton,
R.N., (a gentleman whose abours for the benefit of the
rising generation are unceasing,) presided. D. Wire,
Esq., the Rev. W. Dickenson, and other speakers, advo-
cated the cause of the neglected orphans of British seamen.
The children, twenty-four in number, were introduced to
the assembly, and presented an interesting appearance.
It was stated that they were the very abjects of
society, being gathered it of the lowest hovels and sinks
of infamy by the water-side, .7nd had they bcen left in their
native misery would have grown up to become pests of
only be relieved from its present difil:tulty (being society. It is to be hoped this exrellent charity will net
some-
what in debt), but be enabled to continZle and extend its
usefulness.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Their Majesties paid a visit last night to this theatre.
The house' was exceedingly crowded, and displayed as
strong feelings of affectionate loyalty as has at any pre-
ceding conjuncture been manifested during the present
reign. About the usual time the King, in his Admiral's
uniform, entered the state box, and was received with a
general enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats and
handkerchiefs from every portion of the audience—which
was repeated upon the appearance of her Majesty. The
selection of the play, Sheridan's School for Scandal, did
great credit to the taste of the Royal party, or the discre-
tion of those who had the selection of the evening's enter-
tainment. The comedy was well performed, and, in these
degenerate times, was well calculated to revive the declin-
ing popularity of our better drama. The very amusing
farce of Simpson and Co. followed it, and we have seldom
observed a person more heartily amused by it than was his
Majesty, more especially by Farren's admirably ludicrous
personation of the much-wronged Simpson. The na-
tional anthem was sung at the commencement and con-
clusion of the night's performances ; and " Rule Bri-
tannia," was also given between the play and farce. We
must say we never heard either one or the other to less
advantage. The " Rule Britannia" was almost ridiculous.
Why will not the vocalists at the national theatres make
themselves familiar with the words of this British Pwon?
Their Majesties left the theatre amid similar demonstra-
tions of fervent loyalty as welcomed them on their arrival.

A wager is laid of ten sovereigns between
two gardeners in the neighbourhood of Chelsea, one
of them undertaking to raise a salad while a shoulder
of mutton is roasting, which is to be done in an hour
and three quarters.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, ✓une 27.
'The house met at four o'clock.
CHURCH PATRONAGE.

The Earl of BRE AD ALB ANE presented peti-
tions from Perth and Glasgow, praying that some
alteration might be made in the present system of
church patronage ; also a petition, praying that the
Dissenters might be relieved of their grievances. The
noble earl said he would take that opportunity of
stating that he was a friend to church establishments,
that they were necessary for the welfare of the inha-
bitants of the country, and that it appeared to
him the duty of every christian government to
provide for the religious wants of the people,
but still he thought the Dissenters had a perfect right
to ask for the removal of any particular grievance that af-
fected them as Dissenters from the Established Church.
He considered that the attack on the Established Church
had taken its origin from sectarian jealousy. Since
the passing of the Reform Bill the people's minds had
been excited to such a pitch, and the desire for reform
had become so great in the northern parts of the empire,
as almost amounted to a revolution. He trusted, however,
that the claims of all parties would be taken properly
into consideration, and that finally they would leave
no cause to complain.
ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

Lord KEN YON presented a petition (by the desire
of a noble viscount), who had been entrusted with
it, but who could not attend) from a parish in Nor-
folk, praying for the protection of the Established
Church.

The Earl of DEL AWAR presented a petition
from Wisbeach, in the Isle of Ely, in favour of the
Established Church, and against the admission of the
Dissenters to the universities.

The Nfarquis of WESTMINSTER said he did not
participate in the alarm that seemed to exist in the
minds of some persons, of the Established Church being
in danger ; the only danger that he apprehended was
of those persons who belonged to it throwing
difficulties in the way of those reforms that it
was desirous should take place. ( Hear.) He had had
a petition entrusted to him in favour of the Dissenters,
signed by nearly 400 individuals, among whom were
the Earls of Chichester and Burlington, and Lord
John Russell, which he should take the earliest op-
portunity of presenting, for he considered that it con-
tained sentiments which should be well known.

Petitions in favour of the Established Church, and
against the claims of the Dissenters, were presented
by the Bishop of Meath, from Athlone and parishes
in Cork ; by the Bishop of Lincoln, from Hunting-
don and several other places ; by the Bishop of Wor-
cester, from several parishes in Westmoreland.

LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK.
The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition from
the shareholders of this bank, praying that the bill
lately introduced might be passed into a law.

ALT a MEETING of the "UNITED COM-
11I1TTEE appointed to consider the GRIE-
VANCES under which DISSENTERS now labour with
a view to their REDRESS," and of se \eral Protestant
Dissenting Ministers residing in and about the cities of
London and Westminster, held at the King's Dead Tavern,
in the Poultry, on Friday the 27th day of .Ijc 1834.
HENRY WAYMOUTH, Esq., in Chair.
Resolved, That this Meeting learn with eep regret
that notwithstanding the representations made by all the
recognised bodies of Associated Dissenters in town and
country, against the proposed Measure for the Abolition
of Church Rates, and notwithstanding the very numerous
petitions which have been presented against that Measure,
a Bill has been brought into the House of Commons,
whereby a permanent fund will be established for the Re-
year of the Parish Churches and Chapels, and for the de-
sent performance of Divine Service therein, and which,
although avowedly introduced to benefit and satisfy Dis-
senters, will render them liable to the payment of an im-
post, from which, under the existing law, they have the
power of relieving themselves.
That the Petition now read be adopted, and that John
Wilks, Esq., M.P. be respectfully requested to present
the same to the House of Commons.
That as, this Meeting most sincerely deprecate the
Sdeption of the Bill against which they have resolved to
petition, and desire its rejection on the second reading,
appointed for an early day in next week, they renew with-
out delay their earnest recommendation that the Dissent-
ers in the Metropolis, and throughout the country, will
instantly urge their Representatives to co-operate in a
firm resistance to a Measure to which Protestant Dis-
senters anxiously and intensely object.

THE FUNDS.

The Spanish and Portuguese Stocks have again
this morning resumed the favourite speculation of
the day.
Spanish has just been done at 50 to 1 ; Portuguese
is 80. This rise is attributed to some favourable plan
of finances now going forward in Spain and Portugal.
In respect to the former it is well known that nothing
of a decisive nature can be done before the Cortes
meets, therefore all is mere speculation at present.
Don Pedro's agent is expected in the course of next
week from Lisbon, when it is expected that some im-
portant financial operation will take place respecting
the Portuguese Loan.
Consols which left off yesterday at 9'21 opened
at 921 for the Account.
HALF-PAST ONE.
The mania for speculating in Spanish and Portu-
guese Stocks is again the order of the day. In the
early part of the morning Spanish reached 50 to
but on the arrival of an Express from Holland, bring-
ing- information that Spanish Stock had fallen at Am-
sterdam about 3 to 4 per cent., it receded in the
Market to 491, after which a reaction took place ; and
at present Spanish may be quoted 491 ; Portuguese,
which reached 80k, are at present 791.
Consols have been during the whole morning at 921
for the account, with little doing.
Accounts have been received of the arrival of Don
Miguel off Genoa on the 18th inst., one of the ves-
sels with his suite had arrived there after being sepa-
rated in a gale of wind.
THREE O'CLOCK.

PRUSSIAN DEBT. The Berlin State
Gazette of the 18th instant has the following :
" The general direction of the public debt has just
announced that all the arrears of the Prussian Loan
of 850,650/. sterling, effected in 1818, by Messrs.
Rothschild, at London, will be paid off on the Ist of
October."

FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER AT AN-
DOVER.-Our readers will have read with disgust the
account with which we were furnished of this most
disgraceful occurrence—an occurrence more worthy
of a state composed of untamed savages, than of a
refined or Christian community. Their disgust will
not be diminished when we now tell them that this
murderous exhibition was actually got up by a Member
of Parliament, and was attended by a number of Lords
and Gentlemen, whose names we are in possession of.
The fight took place on a spot called Hurstbourn
Common, four miles from Andover, on the Newbury-
road, and is represented to have been attended by not
less than 10,000 spectators. An inquest on the body
of Noon, the victim of this atrocious onset, was taken
on Wednesday, before the Coroner for the borough of
Andover, when a verdict of " Manslaughter" was re-
turned against all the surviving parties, but unfortu-
nately not including the titled getters-up and abettors
of the affray.—Morning Herald.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
_____

The Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Selkirk, Lord Howard
of Effingham, Lord Segrave, and the Bishop of Here-
ford, sat to hear English appeals to-day.
HOWARD V. EARL DIOBY.
This was an appeal from the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor. The appellant was the executor of the late
Duke of Norfolk, and the respondent was the late Dowager
Duchess of Norfolk. The respondent filed his bill in the
Court of Chancery for the purpose of recovering the
alleged arrears of pin-money secured to the Duchess by
settlement which the appellant resisted. The Vice-
Chancellor by his decree made upon the hearing of the
cause, directed the whole arrear of pin-money claimed to
be paid, and from that decision the present appeal was
brought. The case was partly heard on Thursday last,
and the arguments were resumed to-day.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
Mr. Tooke, Mr. Philpois, and several other members
of the House of Commons, in the course of the morning
brought up the bill for abolishing the practice of hanging
criminals in chains, the Lottery Prohibition Bill, the
West Cork Mine Company Bill, and several private bills.
M. Dupin, the President of the French Chamber of
i Deputies, was present the greater part of this morning,
and appeared to watch the proceedings with very great
I attention.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, SATURDAY, JUNE 21.

HO USE OF COMMONS.

The Srseiza took the chair at a quarter pastitvrelve

POOR LAWS.

On the motion for the order being read for the house to
resolve itself into a committee, upon the Poor Laws'
Amendment Bill,
Sir E. KNATCHBULL said that he wished to know
what course it was intended to pursue in the event of this
bill passing this morning. Would the noble lord call upon
the house to express an opinion before the bill was reprinted,
while there were upwards of one hundred material amend-
ments, so that many members did not know what the bill
really was ?
Lord ALTHORP was understood to say that the bill
would be reprinted and put into the hands of members by
Monday, and he did not intend to proceed further with the
bill until Friday next.
The house then resolved itself into committee upon the
bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair.
On the first of the postponed clauses being proposed,
Mr. MILES moved that a clause to the following effect
be substituted, viz., That in the case of a child being born
a bastard, and the mother should be unable to provide for
its maintenance, such child should become chargeable to
the parish, and the magistrates should adjudge, upon the
evidence of the mother, who was the father of the child,
li
and should counsel him to pay for its maintenance, and in
default of payment, should commit him to the House of
Correction for a period of not less than six weeks, and not
more than three months. Provided that such payment by
the father of the child should not in any case be made
to contribute to the support of the mother.
After a few words from several honourable members,
Lord ALTHORP said that he thought the.provisions
of the original clause were better than those contained in
the clause of the hon. member, and he therefore hoped
that the house would adopt the clause as it stood in the bill.
After a short conversation,
Mr. F. LEWIS proposed that the word " and" between
" mother and child" be struck out, and the words " to
gether with" inserted, for the purpose of relieving the
' mother.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY proposed an amendment to the
effect that the putative father should be compelled to at-
tend before the justice by summons.
Col. WOOD proposed the insertion of the words " so
long as such child may remain chargeable to such parish,"
after the word aforesaid.

(LEFT SITTING.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.)

Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.

JONES V. RIPLEY AND ANOTHER.

This was an action for the infringement of a patent
improvement in cleansing and brushing woollen, and other
cloths. The parties were manufacturers residing at Leeds.
Sir JAMES SCAELETT and Mr. CHESWICK appeared
for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Por..Locx and MILNER for
the defendants.
After the plaintiff's case had been gone through, an
objection was taken by Mr. PoLLocK, that the spec►fica-
tion in the patent was not sufficiently accurate. A length-
ened argument took place between the learned counsel on
either side, which terminated in his lordship giving it as
his opinion that the pinintiff must be nonsuited.

LONDON.
cATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1834.

In looking over the debate last evening, on
the second reading of the Dissenters'Admission

Bill, we have searched in vain for any argu-
ment against the- measure, founded either on
experience, justice, or sound reasoning. The
principal arguments adduced by Mr. WYNN,
Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the other advocates of

the exclusive privileges of the Universities, re&
on mere assumptions, or tell as much against them
as for them. They opposed the measure because
it was only the commencement of a series of
attacks on the Established Church. If this
argument is good for anything, it not only
proves that the Dissenters, but Lord AL-
THORP, Mr. STANLEY, and Mr. S. RICE, are
enemies of the church, and that, too, in the
face of the most solemn assertions, and what is
more, on the part of one of them, of the most
decided proof, the resignation of office for the
sake of the Protestant Church. Lord AL-
THORP justly contended, that so far from in-
juring the church, his object was to sup-
port it, and he considered he could do so best
by removing acknowledged abuses, and obvi-
ating every cause of complaint. But all the
outcry about the " church in danger" is merely
the watchword, the war cry of the party. It
has in fact nothing to do with the matter ; for
it is admitted on all hands that theology is not
taught at the Universities. It is left to
the students themselves, with the exception of
students of divinity, to attend the theologi7
cal lectures or not as they judge proper ;
and, besides, how would it follow that,
because it was not made compulsory on
students to attend theological lectures, the
Established Church would be endangered ? In
the Scotch Universities no religious test is re-
quired—persons of every sect or persuasion may
attend the lectures, and receive degrees ; and is
the Presbyterian Church less secure in Scot-
land than the Protestant Church in England ?
" But the Universities under the present system
have produced great men." And have Catholic
