LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1834.

Intelligence has been received from Madrid
by telegraph (via Bayonne) of an English
courier having left that city on the 9th with
the ratification of the Treaty of the Quadruple
Alliance. He may be expected to arrive in
town this evening or to-morrow morning. The
African steamer has not brought the ratifica-
tions of the treaty by Don PEDRO. These
may be expected by the next vessel.

The bill for compelling the inhabitants of
Christ-church parish to pay a salary to a non-
resident clergyman has properly been thrown
out by a large majority. What other result
could have been anticipated ? It argues some-
thing worse than folly to institute a proceeding
of this kind at a period when there is a general
outcry against pluralities ; and Sir EDWARD
KNATCHBULL and Mr. ESTCOURT do any
thing but serve the cause of the church by ad-
vocating such a measure. The Tories, by re-
jecting all reasonable reform in church esta-
blishments, only increase the force of the
dissenters.

We regret to find that Lord ALTHORP
despairs of carrying two bills of great import-
ance, and which the public confidently trusted
would be passed this session—namely, the bills
for the establishment of local courts and the
abolition of imprisonment for debt. There
has been a great deal of apathy, and not
a little inconsistency displayed by the go-
vernment with respect to these hills, as
well as some others in the house. Be-
fore the present ATTORNEY-GENERAL lost his
seat for Dudley, the Government declared their
firm determination to press them both this ses-
sion, and but a week or two ago this determi-
nation was repeated by one of the Ministers of
the Crown, yet we find now that no steps have
been taken to carry this resolution into effect.

The absence of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL can
form no excuse for such dilatory conduct.

These bills would have passed the Commons in
a very short time. The Local Courts Bill has
already been so amply discussed, and the other is
so simple in its details, that nothing like pro-
tracted discussion could be anticipated. Any
plain, unlettered man, like Mr. HUME, would
have been quite competent to conduct them ;
and, but for the expectations held out by the
Government, he probably would have brought
one of them at least forward. The real objec-
tion, we believe, is the opposition anticipated in
the Lords; but is that House to put a stop to the
business of Parliament, and ought Ministers to
be deterred from bringing forward any measures
for the good of the country, simply because
they despair of the concurrence of the Lords ?
If they wait till the two houses concur in great
measures of reform, no reform will ever take
place. Their plain course is to pass through
the Commons such bills as the country de-
mands, and leave the responsibility of rejecting
them with the other house. They now throw
the whole responsibility on themselves. The
Lords have originated but one measure of
the least importance this session, and
seem not disposed to forward any sent up from
the Commons. By the mode in which they
have taken up the disfranchisement bills, they
have chalked out work for the session ; and
after all, we shall have_in the end only a repe-
tition of the East Retford affair. With the
exception of the Estimates nothing, iri fact,
has been done, and the discussions hitherto
may be regarded only as prologues to the pro-
ceedings of next session.

The Poor Laws' Amendment Bill goes into
committee to-morrow. If such clergymen as
Mr. WIIATELEY Or Mr. BECHER could be
found in every parish, and when found, if they
were not to be counteracted by the improper
interference of magistrates, or the prejudices of
landlords and farmers, we should agree that a
central board might be dispensed with. But
we do not see how otherwise the self-importance
of magistrates, the wrong-headed conceptions of
country gentlemen, the mistaken but constantly
working interests of farmers, and the watchful
sunning of paupers are to be prevented from con-
