tended by words to enact that which it never could do,
and by which they. would really. compromise their own
character as well as deceive the people.—(Cheers.)
Mr. REYNOLDS said it occurred to him that the
Noble Lord should,fvour the Committee ith his o-
nion as to the meritsa of this proviso. Ilew was desirous
to have the benefit of his opinion, recollecting as he did
the many brilliant and powerful speeches that had been
delivered by him on the subject of the Irish Church.—
(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Mayo had now
furnished the Noble Lord a golden opportunity of ex-
pressing himself on , the sutsject.—(Laughter.) He
grounded his belief upon his last memorable effort upon
the appropriation clause discussion in 1835, when he
carried his motion triumphantly through the House; the
result of which was the dislodgement of the late Right
Hon. Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) from. office. Would
the Noble Lord then divide the Committee now upon
the terteless proposition of the Hon. Member for
Mayo? Would he enable them to' tell the millions of
Ireland—aye, and the Presbyterians of Scotland and
England, that the Noble Lord was anxious to remove the
injustice of the Established Church in Ireland Was the
Church of the minority to be still forced upon the im-
mense majority of that country, who were compelled to
maintain it along with their own? He thanked the
Right Hon. Baronet in his own name, and in the name
of nib fellow countrymen,' for the manly advocacy of the
interests of 7,000,000 of Irish Catholics, whose grad-
tude would compensate for the harsh effects of the lan-
guage of the Hon. Member for the University of Dublin.
Lord J. RUSSELL said his opinion was that the
speech of the Hon. Member had nothing to do with the
amendment before the House, and he should therefore
decline the invitation to enter upon the discussion of the
question of the Established Church of England and
ireland,

After this the choir in the gallery struck up another
song Oh! say what is truth ?"—and, on its conclu-
sion, Elder Thomas Squires, the chaplain, read the 6 h
chapter of Nephi, in the Book of Mormon, and the 10th
chapter of St. John, in the New Testament. He then
offered up a fervid and eloquent prayer, and the whole
assembly afterwards joined in a hymn—" Glorious things
are sung of Zion."
Elier COOK, one of " the fathers," next advanced
upon the platform, and delivered an address illustrative
of the faith and obedience of Latter-day Saints, and
expressive of their loyalty and determination to up-
hold the government of Queen Victoria. He said' it
was with the most ardent emotions of love and esteem
that he rose on behalf of his brethren, who were aged
sires or fathers of Israel, to congratulate the presidency
ut the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in
this kingdom, and the brethren in the apostleship and
ministry on their assembling together on that happy
occasion, which would hereafter be remembered as one
of surpassing interest to them as a people whose rising
greatness had began to dawn upon the world, whose
meteoric appearance above the moral horiz m was re-
garded by the various classes of observers with mingled
teelings of wonder, admiration, and fear, and though
there were thousands who would not turn their faces to

Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, which was
read a first time.

The ATTORNEY-GENER,AL for IRELAND ob-
tained leave to bring in a I3iil to amend an Act of the
11th and 12th years of her Maj,-sty, relating to poor-
rate poundage and the v,dustion of ecclesiastical property
in Ireland, and to provide for the renewal of leases of
lands disupproptiated from bishoprics.
On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, Mr. Fox Mettle
was discharged from further attendance on the Select

the protection afforded them by the just and
tolerant laws of the constitution under which it was
their happiness to find shelter, and they gladly took
that opportunity of declaring their loyal and undivided
attachment to the person and government of Queen
Victoria, the beloved Sovereign of these realms. As it
was the teaching of Christ that they should always re-
spect the laws of the country wherein their lot was cast,
they would ever be found ready to defend the lawfully-
constituted authorities of any state; and should the

DEATH of the EARL of SHAFTESBURY.
We regret to annouuce the decease yesterday of that
venerable and much-respected nobleman, CropleY Ash-
ley Cooper, Earl of Shatesbury, Baron Ashley of Wim-
borne St. Giles, county Dorset, Baron Cooper, of Pau-
lett, county Somerset, and a baronet. The noble de-
ceased was born Dec. 27, 1768, consequently he was in
the 83d 3 ear of his age. He married, Dec. 10, 1796,
Anne, daughter of George, Duke of Marlborough, and
aunt of the present Duke, and succeeded to the title of
Earl of Shane bury on the death of his brother, the
sixth Earl; in May, 1811. Four sons and three daugh-
tera:eurvive the late Noble Earl, the eldest of whom is
Lord Ashley, iiow Earl of Shaftesbury, whose elevation
to the House of Peers creates a vacancy in the represen-
tation of the city of Bath.
The lace Earl of Shaftesbury for many years most
ably filled the high and responsible office of Chairman
of Committees of the House of Lards; and on his retire.

time ever arrive when the peace of this country was
menaeed by foreign aggression or the outburst of revo-
lutionary faction, their loyalty as a people would prove
an additional safeguard to the throne, the constitution,
and laws of the kingdom. Their prospects on every
hand were most cheering, even in that country where
toe Latter-day Saints were cruelly and relentlessly perse-
cuted, where unrestrained mobs could assemble with im-
punity in broad day and shed the blood of the prophet
Joseph and the patriarch Hiram, and afterwards con-
summate their guilt by forcibly ejecting from the it
homes, in the midst of severe winter, 11,000 uuoffend-
ing, unresisting citizens, whose only crime was
that they were Latter-day Saints—even in that coun-
try the hand of persecution has been etayul,
and the Federal Government had deemed it just to
confer honours on the man whom they had dishonoured
as the leader of a people whom they had previously af-
fected to despise. Their prospects in this country were
also very gratifying, for though but a few years ago,
when three elders came first from America to preach the
everlasting Gospel, tbey were not known as a people, yet
now the Lord had added to their body tens of thousands;
and, therefore, with bounding hearts they might ex-
claim, " The Lord is with us—the God of Jacob is our
refuge." The secret of the unparalleled success which
had attended the labours of the apostles and the other
elders of the church, though opposed by every form of
priestcraft, assisted by the madness of ignorance and
superstition, lay in that unparalleled union of feeling and
readiness to obey those placed over them in the Lord
which had at all times characterised the saints. While
other communities had beeps split up into fragments by
internal dissensions and sectarian strife, their church
presented a mighty phalanx of noble spirits, impregnable
to all the assaults of earth and hell, and he predicted
they would one day become a mighty people, whoso in-
fluence
should be felt and faith propagated through all
nations of the earth.
The chorus and procession then joined in a song to
" the Rising Glory of 'Lion,"
after which
Mr. JOHN HYDE, jun., delivered an address on be-
half of the young men, illustrative of the rise and pro-
gress of the church in America, in the British Isles,
and in London and vicinity. With reference to America,
he said the dark ignorance and superstitions which pre-
vailed in the world, as well as the divisions among the
people, fostered by debate and perpetuated by new sects,
proclaimed that the spirit which baptized unto one body
had fled; that the time bad come for the commence
ment of the seventh dispensation of justice and mercy to
man, end it therefore pleased the Lord, on the night of the
21st of September, 1823, to send an angel to Mr. Joseph
"Smith, jun., native of Sharon, Windsor, county Ver-
mont, to tell him his sins were forgiven, and that ho
was the chosen of God to establish his church, and
usher in the day of preparation for the millennium of
Jesus Christ. The angel revealed many things, the
origin of the American Indians, and the existence and
locality of certain plates, from which the Book of
Mormon was afterwards translated, and the purposes
of God in reference to them. After con-
tinued revelations for four years, on the 22d of Septem-
ber, 1827, the angel delivered the records into his hands.
Mr. Smith, by the power of God, translated some of the
inscriptions on the plates, and an edition of such trans-
lation was published in 1830, on the 6th of April in
that year, " The Church" was organised in the town of
Manchester, Ontario county, New York, the month of
December following. The speaker then went on to re-
late how the Lord, by revelation, directed them to the
western borders of rho Missouri, as the place where the
New Jerusalem was to be built; how they directed their
steps thither, and met for the first time in conference in
Jackson county, on the 4th of August, 1831; how the
inhabitants rose en masse, drove them from their chosen
city, killing many and whipping others; burning their
houses, destroying their crops, throwing their furniture
piecemeal into the streets, and compelling great numbers
to perish from starvation and exposure; how the
heavens opened and angels wept to see the atrocity of
man, whilst a meteoric shower of shooting stars struck
terror into the hearts of their persecutors, but infused
hopes into the bosom of the saints; how they subsequently
settled in Clay county, and were again expelled
obliged to procure a refuge in Hancock county. Illinois,
their way thither being marked by graves filled with
their dead, or to be traced by blood from their suffering,
enfeebled, and emaciated framcs. The Missourians,
instead of repenting these deeds of rapine, outrage, and
murder, rejoiced in there, and thousands of soldiers under

We regret to say that intelligence reached town yes-
terday afternoon, of the sudden death of the Right Lion.
Richard Lalor Sheil, her Majesty's recently appointed

of this melancholy event is stated to have been an attack
of gout in the stomach; but there is reason to believe
that a late tragical incuitnt in the Lion. Gentleman's

LAW PROPERTY ASSURANCE AND TRUST SOCIETY,
—The first annual general meeting of this society was held
at the offices, 30, •Essex-street. The chair was taken by
Edward William Cox, Esq., the chairman of the society.
There was a numerous attendance of the shareholders. Tue
report congratulated the meeting on the entire success of the
society. At the end of the first year the income more than
doubled the expenditure, so that already it had become self-
supporting, a fact almost unprecedented in the history of
assurance offices. They had received 313 proposals, of which
192 were accepted and in force, yielding an annual income of
2,234/., and 27 other proposals had been accepted and were
in progress of completion. Not a single life assured had
dropped during the year. All the shales were subscribed
and only a few forfeited ones remained. The utility of the
assurance of leaseholds and copyholds, and Of the redemption
of mortgages and loans, although a novel application of the
principle of assurance, was already recognized by the public,
and many policies of this class had been effected. The
assurance of titles was beginning to be understood, and many
proposals were before the board. '1 he application of this to
the use of large properties sold in small lots by substitution of
a policy of assurance of title for the investigation of the whole,
and attested copies for each separate purchaser, was likely to
be very ext- nsively udcpted. The expenses of forming the
society, including the registration, &c., and every cost, had
been singularly small—not exceeding 1,2001. Their excellent
offices cost them only 100/ a year including taxes; they
had one of the most efficient actuaries and secretaries in
London, and their entire office expenses did not exceed 7001.
a year. There was no doubt now that the society would
speedily become one of the most extensive and influential,
as its objects are the most useful of any yet established in
the United Kingdom. The report was unanimously adopted.
A sum was voted to the directors and auditors, a ith thanks
for their services. The retiring directors having been re-
elected, and thanks unanimously voted to the chairman, the
meet i ~g separated.
