they are to be stationed for some time. Major Gascoigne
commands the regiment at present, in the absence of Lieut.-
Colonel Paty, who is on leave. The 94th is shortly destined
for this garrison.
The magistrates, army, and police, have this week been
assisting in the collection of the Rev. Mr. Ryder's tithes in
the parish of Bartlemy, near Rathcormack, county of Cork.
Two of the peasantry who offered resistance are, it is said,
badly wounded. The troops employed in this service were
detachments of the 29th and 89th Regiments. One country
fellow who seized an officer's bridle rein is said to have lost
his hand by the cut of a sword from the rider. The state-
ment this morning is that the military fired by order of the
magistrates, when assailed with stones ; that eleven persons
were killed, and fifteen wounded.
A return of every expense, civil, contingent, and military,
connected with the recovery of tithes by the army in this
country, has been ordered forthwith, in order to be laid before
Parliament at the next meeting.
Major Calder, of the Royal Engineers, has proceeded to
England, by order of the Inspector-General of Fortifications,
to be employed on a Committee, relative to the works at
Corfu ; and Capt. Walker is now in charge of the engineer
department in the Leinster district.
Lieut.-Colonel Townsend, of the 14th Light Dragoons,
has proceeded on leave of absence, and the command of the
regiment, stationed at Longford, has therefore devolved upon
Major Parry for the present.

We unintentionally did great injustice to Lord
Minto, in copying from the Standard a list of intended Lords
of the Bedchamber, in which his name was included. Lord
Minto is, and always has been, a true and uncompromising
Reformer. How his namo came to find its way into a list of

Bedchamber Lords of a Peel Administration, we cannot con.

ceive.—Morning Chronicle.

Lord Brougham left Paris on the 22d December for
Italy, and is expected to return to England via Paris, about
the 15th of January. It appears that his journey to Italy will
not extend further than Genoa. His Lordship's last visit was
to M. de Chateaubriand, on Saturday, the 20th inst.

M. Dupin, President of the Chamber of Deputies,
has just published an important work, entitled Manuel des Etu-
dians en Droit et des Jeunes Avocats, in which he has united
whatever is indispensable to be known by those who are des-
tined for the bar.
The whole Bench of Bishops are supwnaed to attend
the trial of the Bishop of Winchester and nine others, for a
riot and assault, at the next Surrey Sessions, Horsemonger-
lane.
The Hon. William Ward, the heir to the bulk of
the vast wealth of the late Earl Dudley, is now pursuing his
studies at Oxford University. Mr. Ward, by the terms of the
will of his late lamented relative, will not come into possession
of his fortune until he attains the age of 25. The Bishop of
Exeter and Mr. Littleton, his trustees, have let Dudley-house
to the Mai quis of Conyngham for nine sears, at the end of
which period Mr. Ward will be put in possession of that noble
edifice.
Mr. Spring Rice has canvassed Cambridge, where
he has had a very flattering reception. The Dissenters have
declared in his favour, and his friends consider his return cer-
tain. A reformer offering himself for Cambridge is something
like storming the Tories in their own citadel.
O'CONNELL AND TIIE PRlEST.—O'Connell does
not work now so much through the medium of the priests, as
directly upon the people, by epistles and speeches ; and my
persuasion is, that the fiats of O'Connell would be obeyed,
even if the priesthood opposed them. I believe it frequently
happens now, and will happen still more frequently, that it is
the priest who, through self-interest, finds it necessary to
move with the people,—not the people who are invited to
agitation by the priests. This I know to be the opinion of
several of the more respectable Catholic dignitaries, who are
opposed to O'Connell and agitation.—lnglis's Ireland.

It is our sorrowful duty to announce this week the
death of Prince Hoare, Esq., in his 80th year. He expired on
Monday last, at his residence in Clarence-place. Mr. Hoare
was distinguished in the literary history of the times ; he was
the author of many excellent publications on the Fine Arts,
and many of the most popular and cheerful of our dramatic
entertainments were from his pen. His last literary work was

zecessary also to support troops of police and cavalry,
and that the maintenance of the system was attended by
the shedding of the blood of the King's subjects.—(Cheers.)
Seeing this, I made a declaration in the House of Com-
mons, that I would not go on another year in office, unless
an attempt were made to have the abuse remedied ; and
I afterwards declared that, when any surplus should
remain, after properly paying the ministers of the Esta-
blishment, it should be devoted to the religious and moral
instruction of " all classes of the people." If, therefore,
I have erred in the line of conduct I have adopted with
regard to the Irish Church, I have erred from endeavour-
ing to act up to the spirit of the definition here given of
the sacred objects for which the Church was established,
namely, " the spiritual instruction of all classes of people."
—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, so deeply did I feel on this sub-
jeCt, that being in the Cabinet, and that too with a man
with whom I considered it the highest honour to act—
being in the Cabinet with a man of the name and reputa-
tion of Lord Grey—a man who, from a feeling of impe-
rative duty to his country, was anxious to correct_
every abuse in our institutions—a man who in early
life had perceived and urged the necessity of Parliamentary
Reform and Catholic Emancipation, and who, throughout
his whole political career, had never for a moment deserted
his great principles—a man who, if he wanted some few of
those qualities of oratory which distinguished Lord Cha-
tham, surpassed him in others, and stood far above Lord
Chatham from the truth and consistency of his conduct—
yet, Gentlemen, I would even have seceded from him, and
the Cabinet of which he was the ornament, if the correction
of this most monstrous abuse had not been conceded.—
(Great cheering.) You will, therefore, readily believe
that that which I would not concede to Mr. Stanley—that
which I would not concede to Sir James Graham—that
which I would not concede even to such a man as Lord
Grey, I shall not be prepared, in the event of being re-
turned as your Representative, to concede to Sir Robert
Peel.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Being no enemy to the
Church, but its sincere friend, I would cleanse it from its
abuses, and purge it from its defects ; and, however the
bigotry of party may calumniate and malign my conduct, I -am
assured that such a course is calculated to promo the real
interests of Protestantism itself.—(Checro:) I will not
now trouble you upon the subject
:,PA the burdens which
affect the agricultural interest
the Dissenters. I cant-rot, or dilate upon the claims of
my satisfaction -1 however, refrain from expressing
the reflection that during the short time
the letstry to which I belonged were in power, they
never abandoned any of those principles upon which they
accepted power ; and that in leaving office they can reflect
that their dismissal was for no dereliction, no unfaithful-
ness to the cause of reform.—(Cheers.) The late Ministry
are dissolved ; and having come into office for the sake of
carrying reform, they leave it for being over-anxious to
carry its principles into effect.—(Hear, hear, hear, and
great cheering.) It will give me the highest gratification
if you again entrust me with the high honour of being your
representative in Parliament. It is an honour which I
value beyond any other, and if again entrusted, I will serve
you to the best of my humble abilities, which indeed I feel
are unequal to the task you confide to me. But this I will
say, that you shall never find me desert those principles of
liberty, renovation, and reform, which, if conscientiously
adopted, I firmly believe, from the very depth and bottom
of my soul, to be eminently calculated to carry this country
it) the highest pitch of prosperity.—( His Lordship then re-
sumed his seat amid long and continued cheering.)
Resolutions were then proposed and carried unanimously,
expressive of the high satisfaction of the meeting in the
political conduct of Lord John Russell, and pledging to
give him their support in the event of a dissolution, toge-
ther with undertaking to defray any necessary expenses
attendant on the polling of that district of the county.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose, and observed—l beg
leave to address a very few words to you, in order to ex-
press my gratification at the resolution which has been
carried with the general consent of the meeting, and tr.
assure you, that the confidence of your support if I
should be returned, will be a still stronger
inducement
to me to perform my Parliamentary dut;.
to the best of
my ability, however far it may
be expected of a represento,ve of the people. Gentlemen,
I have never felt ffi short of what may
some have ex,- alarm at the late changes which
Act ' Tressed, but having confidence in the Reform
a-
Ai in the honour and integrity of the people of
-ngland, I have always considered, since the passing of
that measure, that the decision of the question is in their
own hands.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, if any of you ever
saw a den in which a lion was confined, and into which a
lap-dog had been thrust, it never occurred to you that the
lion had cause to be alarmed, though the lap-dog might ;
so little had the British lion need be alarmed, now the lap-
dog had got into his den.—(Cheers and laughter.) Let
the people of England place their confidence in those who
had ever been favourable to reform, and let them exhibit
that confidence by choosing them for their representatives,
and not mar their own wishes by selecting those who had
become Reformers since the 15th of November. Let them
do this, and they need not fear the result of the election.
Three times three cheers, and one cheer more, were then
given for Lord John Russell ; and thanks having been voted
to the Chairman, the meeting dissolved.

provel or sanction to the measure. My belief is, that
the proposition was submitted in more than one shape ;
but I am not so confident of that, as that one proposi-
tion was submitted by Earl Grey, and rejected. I believe,
likewise, that one expression made use of on the occasion
was, that the best and only proposition to which the
Archbishop was then prepared to assent, was a Bill for
voluntary commutation. With that the correspondence
between the Primate of Canterbury and Earl Grey had
closed, it not being considered by Earl Grey that it was
possible to come to any satisfactory arrangement with the
heads of the Church. This is what I have to state in refe-
rence to that correspondence. I state it from recollection ;
it has been forced upon me by the denial of the Right Rev.
Prelate, and I have now answered his question, by whom
the proposition was made, and by whom the declaration re-
ferred to was made. The nature of the proposition it is
not now necessary to state ; I will only add, that if the
Bishop of Exeter has consulted the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and has received his authority for making the state-
ment he has put forth, no fault can be attributed to the
Right Reverend Bishop ; but if ho has not had such autho-
rity—if he has not had the positive authority of the Arch-
bishop, I can only say that ho has proceeded somewhat
lightly, in making any imputation of falsehood against
another person—and that other person the man who,
if not meriting any other regard, has been entrusted with
the confidence of the electors of the Southern Division
of this county.—(Hear, bear, and cheers.) Having
stated thus much, I will now pass on to subjects in which
the country is more generally concerned, and make a few
observations on questions which bear relation to the general
intentions of the King's present Government, and also with
regard to the acts of the late Ministry. Gentlemen, we
have lately seen a statement put forth which may be taken
as a declaration of the grounds on which the new Govern-
Now, if I had any thing to state
ment intend to act.
against Sir Robert Peel personally, I would neither take
this place nor this time for so doing, but would embrace
the first opportunity afforded me of making that statement
in the House of Commons. But so far is this from my inten-
tion, that I must say that, as far as the public character of
that gentleman is concerned, I entertain for him a very
high respect. Since the passing of the Reform Act, when
he has yielded his assistance to Ministers, it has been effec-
tive in the highest degree, and when he has been opposed
to them, that opposition has been fair and manly.—(Cheers.)
In the statement lately put forth by Sir Robert Peel, with
regard to the views of the present Government, there is
nothing which does not confirm that respect as to his pub-
lic character ; but with regard to the questions which
agitate the country, and our opinions upon the effects and
result of those questions, between him and me, the widest
possible difference exists.—(Cheers.) Sir Robert Peel has
placed his grounds to public confidence on his past, and to
his views for the future. First let us see with regard to the
past. Before doing so, however, allow me to read you an
extract from a statement in an address in Cumberland,
made by Sir James Graham, a gentleman with whom I
have acted, and for whom I have the greatest regard, both
public and in private. " The Test and Corporation Acts
have been repealed—Catholic Emancipation has been oar-
ried—Negro Slavery has been abolished—the trade to
China has boon opertodtbe public expenditure has been
effectually reduced—the taxes most affecting the great body
of the people have been remitted—peace of an unexampled
duration has been preserved—and a full, free, and fair re-
presentation of the people in Parliament has been obtained
and fixed on the basis of that measure of Reform which is,
in my humble judgment, on ample security for future good
government, and which we, who supported it, ought never
to forget, excited by its extent, the incredulous ridicule of
our opponents, and more than realized the most sanguine
expectations of our friends." Now, gentlemen, these were
the measures supported by Sir James Graham, and to his
you may add my name, for I concurred in all those mea-
sures. But now, let us contrast with that statement the
ground on which Sir Robert Peel looks for public confi-
dence. Sir Robert Peel says that he is friendly to judicious
reform. He says, " I never will admit that I have been,
either before or after the Reform Bill, the defender of
abuses, or the enemy of judicious reforms. I appeal
with confidence, in denial of the charge, to the ac-
tive part I took in the great question of the currency, in
the consolidation and amendment of the criminal law, in
the revisal of the whole system of trial by jury, to the opi-
nions I have professed and uniformly acted on with regard
to other branches of the jurisprudence of the couni,ry.”
Now, gentlemen, I ask you, whether the reforms mentioned
by Sir J. Graham are not great, important, and large re-
forms, and whether those other reforms mentioned by Sir
Robert Peel are not, at best, a questionable ground for
assuming the title of Reformer.---(Hear, hear.) First,
with regard to the question of the currency—that measure
might be wise or judicious, but I cannot call it reform.
Next, with regard to the consolidation of the criminal code,
did Sir Robert Peel mitigate effectually the severity of that
code ? I take no credit to the late Ministry fer having
supported the abrogation of the punishment of death in
certain oases, for instance, with regard to sheep stealing,
and the law of forgery, A bill to take away the capital
offence had been carried threugh the House of Commons,
but had been thrown out of the House of Lords by Lord
Lyndhurst, during the Administration of the Duke of Wel-
lington. It has been since moved by the late Ministers
and carried into law, Then, I ask, while so much unneces-
sary severity was left, can we call Sir Robert Peel's mea-
sures a great reform ? With respect to the revisal of
the whole system of trial by jury, it was a most useful
act, and one for which he deserves the highest credit.
But taking the grounds alone which he has stated, we cam.
hardly allow Sir Robert Peel the character of a Reformer.
—(Cheers.) I will now come to the future. The late
Ministry, with regard to the next session, had determined
upon taking into consideration the subject of Tithe, toge
ther with that of municipal Corporations. Another ques-
tinn was a reform of the Church of England, and a still
more difficult questihn was further reforms in the Church
of Ireland. Now, gentlemen, what have we from Sir R.
Peel in reference to these subjects ? On the first, the in-
quiry into municipal corporations, he remarks--" it is not
my intention to advise the Crown to interrupt the progress
of that inquiry, nor to transfer the conduct of it from those
to whom it was committed by the late Government. No
report has yet been made by the commissioners to whom
the inquiry was afterwards referred ; and until that report
be made, I cannot be expected to give, on the part of the
Government, any other pledge than that they will bestow
on the suggestions it may contain, and the evidence on
which they may he founded, a full and unprejudiced oonsi-
deration." To a commutation of tithes he expresses him-
self favourable ; but with regard to the subject of the
Church, he makes this peremptory declaration—" As to the
great question of Church reform, on that head I have no
new professions to make, I cannot give my consent to the
alienation of Church property in any part of the United
Kingdom from strictly ecclesiastical purposes ; but I re-
peat now the opinions that I have already expressed in
Parliament in regard to the Church Establishment in Ire-
land, that if, by an improved distribution of the revenues
of the Church, its just influence can be extended, and the
true interests of the Established Religion promoted, all
other considerations should be made subordinate to the
advancement of objects of such paramount importance."
Gentlemen, in all this there is but one thing definite and
certain, that he will not consent to the alienation of Church
property to any but strictly ecclesiastical purposes. With
regard, then, to the late and the present Government
subjects I have named stand thus : the late tne
.tion were prepared to bring forward - xtdministra-
almeasures connected
with the reform of the
•Munici caonrpdoraations, the
municipal

reform of the...
commis-
sion has Inen issued with respect to the Church of Ireland,
upon which they were prepared to act ; and, in opposition
to all this, you have—no promise of a reform of the
corporations, no promise of a reform of the Church,
but merely a pledge with a reserve, that attention shall be
paid to these subjects.---(Cheers.) I say, therefore putting
out of sight the persons who compose the present Ministry,
and the impending dissolution, the declaration of Sir Robert
Peel shows that the late movement will not leave reform
where it was. It is a step backward, and the present Go-
vernment have shown a determination not to go so far as
the late Ministry to ecclesiastical and civil reforms.—
(Cheers.) I will now say a few words with respect to the
Church ; for though I have already stated my opinions in
Parliament upon that subject, the amount of misrepresenta-
tion which has gone abroad, is much greater than any amount
of statements I have been able to make. With respect to
the Church of England, my opinion has been that we could
very well afford to diminish the income of those who did
nothing, and increase that of those who laudably and zeal-
ously laboured. But with regard to the Church of Ire-
ladd, the case is totally different. To show that the opi-
nion is not simply my own, I will quote the words of the
Right Reverend Bishop, to whom I have alluded, to the
archdeacon and clergy of his diocese. Ile remarks :—" In
conclusion, let me express my earnest hope and fervent
prayer, that whatever measures be introduced affectiug the
Establishment of the Church, whether in England or in
Ireland, they may be such as shall tend most effectually to
promote what you justly call ' the sacred object for which
the Church is established--the spiritual instruction of all
classes of the people.'" Now, this was dm proposed object
of the Establishment, but how had it answered the purpose ?
In the greater part of the south of Ireland, the clergy en-
joyed an income from tithe, but were as totally uncon-
nected with the religious instruction of the
e people, as any onc.

ADDRESS of the PRESBYTERY of GLASGOW
TO LORD STANLEY,
, (PRESENTED ON THURSDAY 1.49 T.)

To the Right Honourable Lord Stanley, Lord Rector
of the University of Glasgow,
May it please your Lordship,—lt is with high satisfaction
that we, the Moderator, Ministers, and Elders of the Pres-
bytery of Glasgow, take leave to congratulate your Lord-
ship on the occasion of your present visit to this city.
As the legally constituted Ecclesiastical guardians of
that University, which has se justly awarded to your Lord-
ship her highest honours, we rejoice that selection was made
of a Nobleman pre-eminent in literary accomplishments,
and not less distinguished by personal worth, and devoted-
ness to those National Institutions, which are essential to
the interests of pure and undefiled religion.
In availing ourselves, my Lord, of this opportunity for
the expression of these our sentiments of unfeigned admira-
tion and esteem, although belonging to a church the Eccle-
siastical polity of which differ in several respects from that
with which you are connected, we cannot but advert with
gratitude to those truly Scriptural and Protestant prin-
ciples, held in common by the members of both Establish-
'tents, and of which your Lordship has lately proved the
enlightened and uncompromising advocate.
Whilst, as Ministers and Elders of the Church of Scot-
land, it is our duty, as far as lieth in us, to live peaceably
with all men, we feel it incumbent on us to protest against
the numerous and systematic attempts lately made by the
enemies of our own and of the sister establishment, to un-
dermine and subvert these bulwarks of our country. •
Waiving questions of merely political interest, we arb
persuaded that your Lordship will sympathise with our
fervent desire to uphold, as by law established, tiiie Church
of our fathers, so long distinguished by
doctrines, worship, and discipline, an' —o transmit, not only
with untainted, but with incrP-
religiouss instruction to oe 1..1",e purity of her

adventurous innovation, when the peri-
,lous "P,,,irelTlTet is proposed to dissolve all connection be-
" Ten ,hurch and State, to appropriate with sacrilegious
avidity the revenue of both establishments to secular pur-
poses, we hailed your Lordship's magnanimous sacrifice of
public office to public principle as an auspicious token to
our country and our country's Zion. The luminous and
comprehensive arguments which were employed by your
Lordship in relation to the Irish Church, involve the re-
cognition of principles alike honourable to your talents as
a Statesman, and your knowledge of that Divine word
which declares that righteousness exalteth a nation.
While we desire deeply to impress on your Lordship's
mind that the great body of the Scottish people are warmly
attached to the Established Church, to which we have the
honour to belong, and that many who are not of her com-
munion share not less strongly in attachment to her prin-
ciples, we would embrace this opportunity of earnestly as-
suring your Lordship, that a large number of the people of
our country, owing to the disproportion between the growth
of the population and the supply of manufacturing districts,
are living beyond the reach of Christian ordinances, and
that it is a matter of the first magnitude for the welfare
alike of the Church and State, that public provision be
made to meet the necessities of their condition.
We cannot allow ourselves to conclude without adverting
to the great measure of Slave Emancipation, and expressing
the feelings of heartfelt gratitude with which we regard
your Lordship's conduct in promoting it—distinguished as
that conduct was by impartial consideration of the interests
both of justice and humanity.
We trust that your valuable life will be long preserved
for the promotion of these lofty objects, which connects the
present weal of nations with the eternal destinies of their
inhabitants—that your services to your country will be ex-
tensively appreciated, and that the blessing of Almighty
God, which maketh rich and addeth no sorrow, will be your
enduring reward, through his only son, our Lord and Sa-
viour, Jesus Christ.—Signed, in name, in presence, and by
appointment,

of the Presbytery of Glasgow,
JOHN SMITH, D.D., Moderator.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Q UEEN-S Q UARE,

Mrs. Sarah Palmer, a middle-aged woman, was placed
at the bar before Mr. WHITE, charged witn stealing the
sum of 2s. 444. from George Bexall, a deaf old carpenter, at
Pimlico, with whom she had cohabited for a length of time.
The complainant commenced detailing the manner in
which be had been robbed, when he was interrupted by
Mr. WHITE, who said that he supposed all he wanted was
to get rid of the prisoner.
The complainant made no reply.
Sarah Palmer—Your Worship must shout out loudly, for
be is so very deaf he cannot hear.
The question was repeated in a loud voice, and the coin.
plainant replied that he wanted to be parted.
Mr. WHITE—WeII, Sarah Palmer, are you willing to
leave him ? I understand you are not married to him.
Sarah Palmer was a very respectable woman, and all her
friends and relations were the same, and held situations in
the Royal Family. She had lived with the complainant as
his wife two years next July ; she had formed what was
called a moral marriage with him, and during that time she
had behaved to him both as a wife"and a mother. No per-
son knew the care she had taken of him. Being Christmas
time, she had been to some of her respectable frieuds, and
they had given her a half-sovereign, and she was going to
make him comfortable, when he brought the prennt charge
against her.
Mr. WHITE—Are you willing to leave him. Sarah
Palmer—What have I :done 'to leave Lim ? If I have
committed any offence, it was liking him better than I did
my real husband, and leaving him to live with the corn-
plainant.

Mr. WHITE—Are you a married woman then ? Sarah
Palmer—Yes, Sir, but I've been a wift and mother to hi=
there.

Mr. WinTE--That is a greater reason why you ought to
part.
SarA Palmer—He is the same as me ; for since I've
ir,en living with him, I find that he is a married man, and
has got a wife living.
Mr. WHITE—Worse and worse, we had better say no
more upon that point ; will you promise never to go near
him again ? Sarah Palmer—l'll never leave him till death.
Mr. WHITE told her that if she persisted in that dew..
mination, he should require her to find bail.

After some further parleying she agreed not to go near
him again, for she said she was positive he er,uld not live
without her, and would soon come after her 4,0 get her back.
—Discharged
