THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

Petitions in favour of the established church were
presented by Sir E. Hayes, from the parish of Scull ; '
by Mr. Shaw, from various parishes in the south of
Ireland ; by Mr. Bell, from Northumberland ; by
Lord Castlereagh, from several parishes in Ireland ;
by Mr. Dugdale, from Warwick ; by Col. Perceval,
from twenty parishes in Ireland; by Mr. Lefroy,
from Ferns and other places in Ireland ; by Lord
Cole, from St. Paul in Cork ; and by Col. Verner,
from the county of Cork.
Mr. TODD presented a petition from the Dis-
senters of Merioneth, praying for relief from their
grievances.
Mr. L AM B E RT presented a petition from Wex-
ford upon the subject of tithes. The hon. member
regretted that the Protestant landlords of the county
of Wexford had so far forgotten their own principle
and given way to their feelings, as to support, as he
was given to understand they did, the repeal candi-
date for that county.
After a few words from Mr. Shaw, Mr. Barron,
and Mr. Cobbett, the petition was laid on the table.
Lord SANDON presented a petition from the
mhants and other inhabitants of Liverpool, praying
fore repeal of the stamp receipt duties. The noble
lord expressed a hope that the petition would be taken
into consideration by the noble Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. The petition was signed by many thousand
persons, who felt this tax a great grievance, and
amongst whom a very strong feeling was excited
against it. He cordially supported the prayer of the
petition.
Mr. Ewart, Mr. Ewing, and Mr. Cobbett, also sup-
ported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. PARKER presented a petition, signed by
10,000 persons from Sheffield against the Church
Rate Bill, and praying for the abolition of all compul-
sory rates for the support of the Church.
Sir E. WILLIAMS
presented a petition from
_
a parish in the county of Durham, in support of the
Church.
Mr. SHELL presented a petition from the Parish
of St. Thomas, Dublin, complaining of exhorbitant
assessment for the support of the Parochial Church
by an illegal vestry.
Mr. L E FRO Y wished the house to suspend its
judgment on the statements in the petition until the
other side was heard. If the statement was true it
was exceedingly reprehensible.
After a few words from Mr. Sheil, Mr. F. O'Con-
nor, and Mr. O'Reilly, the petition was laid on
the table.
Mr. G. VERNON presented a petition from East
Redford for the removal of Dissenters' disabilities.
Lord 0 SS UL STON presented petitions from se-
veral parishes in Northumberland, in support of the
Church.
Mr. EG ERTON presented a petition from a parish
in Chester to the same effect.
Sir J. TYRRELL presented two petitions from
parishes in Essex to the same effect.
• Sir E. IIAYES presented a petition from Law-
rence Dundas, for a revisal of his case by a thorough
inquiry.
Mr. WAL K ER rose to correct an orror that had

gone abroad, that the petitioner had been discharged
through the interference of the hon. and learned mem-
ber for Dublin. The right hon. Secretary for the Colo-
nies stated to the house, that on making inquiries in Ire-
land, the petitioner was deemed unfit for the situation,
and the appointment was cancelled. Subsequently
the petitioner -wrote to the hon. and learned member
for Dublin, stating that he had been belied, and re-
quesfinff him to interfere in his behalf, and he
( Mr. W) supplied some information to the hon. and
learned member for Dublin on' the subject. Be
wished to impress on the houSe that the petitioner was
not discharged on any representation made by the
hon. and learned member for Dublin. He (Mr. W.)
should support a motion for a committee of inquiry.
Colonel P E RCEV AL, from what he knew of the
facts and the petitioner, would also support such a

motion.
Mr. LE FRO Y also trusted government would in-
stitute an inquiry.
After a few words from Mr. O'REILLY, the petition
was laid on the table.
Sir J. R. REID presented a petition from theDcan
and others of Rochester, and from Farlingham, in
support of the Church.
Mr. DIVETT presented two petitions from the
dissenters of Wareham (Dorset) and Bcneford (De-
von) against the Church rate bill.
Mr. TOOKE presented a petition from the Dis-
senters of Truro, complaining that no compensation
had been made for the destruction of the Baptist
chapels in the West Indies. The hon. member
thought compensation ought to be made, as a kind of
set off, against the twenty millions granted to the
slave owners.

Sir J. RAE REID thought the twenty millions,
awarded to the slave owners, was not enough ; he had
said so before, and he repeated it.
There being no other business before the house, the
Speaker left the chair at half-past two o'clock.

NEW COLONY.

MEETING THIS DAY.

This morning, according to public advertisement, a
numerous and highly respectable meeting 2:7sembled
in Exeter-hall to hear the exposition of the , Pro-
visional Committee, who have formed themselvc, into
such, for the purpose of relieving the pressure on this
country, by founding a new colony in Southern Aus-
tralia.

At twelve o'clock the chair was taken by
Woolryche Whitmore, Esq., M. P., who was ac-
companied by Mr. Grote, Mr. Hill, Colonel Tor-
rens, and a numerous body of other members and
gentlemen. There were also a number of ladies, both
on the platform and in the body of the meeting. We
were pleased to see that the meeting was attended by
a great many respectable artizans.
Mr. WiiiTmoar., on taking the chair, said it became
him in that situation shortly to state the principles
which actuated him and the gentlemen around
him in calling that meeting, for the purpose of consi-
dering- the propriety and expediency of founding a
new colony in southern Australia. The first question
to consider was, whether there did or did not exist a
necessity for a more extended system of colonization,
than England at present was possessed of. To those
who had paid attention to history, it was needless for
him to say, that all countries at certain stages
had found it necessary to relieve themselves by found-
ing colonies—that proposition held good, as applied to
both ancient and modern nations. In our own country
the fact was proved by the existence of America, and
it was further proved by the fact, that even at the pre-
sent day, there was a constant stream of emigration
daily leaving our shores—to the amount as Parlia-
mentary returns showed, of 50,000 persons yearly—
and in one year it had actually ambunted to 100,000 ' • he
would therefore take the fact as proved, that there
was an actual necessity now existing for an extended
system of colonization. Then, again, notwithstand-
ing the great amount of wealth in the country—the
great increase in its trade and commerce, yet it was
undeniable that there was a degree of preference
existing, which was not confined to any one class,
but spread over all. Therefore it must be admitted by
all, that if more employment could be found for the
people, great relief would be afforded, and that could
only be done by a very extended system of colo-
nizing a distant country—a plan that would be sure
to afford almost instant relief to those who re-
mained. Those points he would take as established--
they were more for the consideration of the private
citizen or the legislature, than for a general meeting.
It appeared to him that there was a great defect
in the old system of colonization. According to that
plan there was no provision made for the various
classes of the community. Capitalists went out
without taking with them any labourers to put that ca-
pital into profitable employment, while on the other
hand many went out with nothing but their labour to
depend upon ; but they, for want of a system, did not
always direct their steps to the proper place. The
question then was—Could that be remedied? and, if
so—How? He, and those friends around him,
proposed to do it by selling all the waste
lands at a fair market price, and apply the money
arising from such sale to the sending out the poorer
class who would be willing to become labourers. If
that plan were carried into effect the evils of coloniza-
tion would be remedied, and in that way a portion of
all classes of the community would be transplanted to
a place where they would find plenty of exercise for
their industry, and that in a place where it would be
productive. It might be asked, where such a place, or a
place large enough, was to be found ? The committee
had found a place fit for the purpose in South Aus-
tralia. lie need only say that it was 2,000 miles in
extreme length, and 1,700 in breadth, with a climate
as fine as any in the world, with plenty of almost na-
tural harbours, which might render it as mighty a
nation as any that had ever existed. In place of being,
as now a savage place, let the plans of the com-
mittee be carried into effect, and it would not
be too much to speculate upon, to fancy that
at a future time that country might rival the one from
whence it was peopled. There was only one other
topic that he had to discuss—that one was religious
instruction. ( Applause.) He held that no country or
colony could be expected to prosper without such in
struction, the committee by no means proposed
that there should be an establishment as in this coun-
try. They were of opinion that what was called the
voluntary system would provide ample means for the
purpose. ( Citeering. ) Other gentlemen were to follow
hint who would more fully explain the views of the com-
mittee ; he would therefore merely further say that the
plan was not proposed as one of a speculative charac-
ter, the committee expected neither pecuniary advan-
tage or patronage from it, nor did they wish for any.

commercial empire of the United Kingdom, and the field
of employment for British capital and labour."
2. " That in establishing Colonies great care ought to
be taken to combine labour and capital with land in such
proportions as are best calculated to ensure the prosperity
of all classes of society, and that in establishing modern
colonies this important consideration has been so generally
overlooked.

3. " That in order to promote the greatest prosperity
of a new colony, it is expedient that all waste, land with-
out any exception, should be declared public land, and be
disposed of to individuals by ►ale only, and according to
an uniform, impartial, and permanent system.
4. "That it is also desirable that the whole of the purchase
money of public land, without any deduction, should be
employed in providing a free passage from the mother coun-
try to the colony, of young adult persons of the labouring
class, who may be willing to emigrate, and in equal pro-
portion
of both sexes.
5. " That amongst the unoccupied portions of the earth,
which form part of the British dominions, the South coast
of Australia appears to be a spot peculiarly suitable for
founding a colony upon the principles embodied in the pre-
ceding resolutions.
ti. " That the provisions for the peace, order, and
good government of the British Province of South Aus-
tralia, as contained in the bill now before Parliament are
highly satisfactory.
7. " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the
thanks of the country are due to Mr. Spring Rice for his
prompt and enlightened conduct in promoting the beneficial
public object of the South Australian Association.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(TH IS DA Y

INJUNCTION.—BATI.ISS V. BAYLISS AND ROACH.
Mr. KNIGHT applied ex parte in this case for a
special injunction to restrain the defendants from
possessing themselves of the personal estate of a person
named Henry Bayliss. The plaintiff was the only
sister of that person, and in that character claimed, by
her bill, to be either the sole or one of the next of
kin. Mr. Bayliss, the brother of the plaintiff, was the
captain of a vessel, which was wrecked about two years
ago between New South Wales and New Zealand. It
had not been ascertainedwhether the crew was lost or not,
but since the wreck none of them had been heard of ;
the probability, therefore, was, that the Captain and all
had perished, but the family were unwilling to act upon
that assumption !vititout satisfactory proof. The two
defendants, the one a journeyman cabinet-maker, and
the other a sailor, had taken out administration to the
Captain's effects, and the plaintiff, by per af4'ida•
vit, stated, that she believed it was the inttn,

tion of the defendants to appropriate the personal
estate of her brother to their own purposes, and that
if they did so, it would be utterly wasted, and the
whole of it lost to the parties really entitled.
His HoNora inquired what the amount of the
personal estate was?

Mr. KNIGHT said that it was under 2,000/.
His 'lo:-or tt thought that a sufficient ease had been
made for the interference of the Court, and granted
the injunction.
