PENSION TO THE WIDOW OF LANDER.

_ -- -
Mr. K. TYNTE begged to ask the noble lord op-
posite whether it was the intention of Government to
recommend the widow of the late unfortunate traveller
Lander as an object of the Royal bounty ?
Lord ALTHORP said that a petition had passed
by which the widow was to receive 701. a year for life
and her son 701.

of Cockermouth complaining of distress.
Mr. PLUMPTRE moved for a return of the an-
nual amount of money paid by the London sea pilots
to the Corporation of the Trinity House, and of the
names of all sea pilots relieved by that corporation in
the same time.

Mr. LABOUCHERE presented a petition from
Taunton, praying for a remission of the sentence on
the Dorchester convicts.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

Lord ALTHORP gave notice that he should to-
morrow move that for the remainder of the session
orders of the day do take precedence of all notices of
motion not now on the books. He did not mean to
give them precedence of notices now standing, but of
all such as might be placed on the books for the future.
ADMISSION OF CLERICAL MEMBERS.

Mr. PR YME rose to bring before the house the
question of the disabilities imposed upon persons being
in holy orders, whereby they were excluded from
sitting in that house. The hon. member described
the attempts which had formerly been made to remove
this restriction, and stated that he wished to remove it
from no partiality to the clergy, nor from any wish to
see them in the house, but because he wished to see
all exclusions removed. He was opposed to all such
restrictions, because he regarded it as the natural
right of every person to be eligible to a seat in that
house, and the natural right of electors to choose from
what body or class of men they liked. The hon.
member then went into the circumstances of the re-
turn of Home Tooke by Lord Camelford. There
were two classes of persons whom the present law ex-
cluded from the privileges of a seat in that house, and
whom it was his object to restore to that privilege.
The first class was that of persons who once belonged
to the profession of the church, but who, through con-
scientious considerations, chose to discontinue their
ecclesiastical functions ; and, secondly, persons who,
having been brought up to the clerical profession, had
not as yet been appointed to benefices or cures. He
thought it hard that such persons should not be al-
lowed the privilege of a seat in the House of Com-
mons, upon the condition that whenever they might
be preferred to any benefice or cure the seat should '
become vacant, as now was always the case with
respect to other lucrative appointments under the
Crown. It was, he thought, a most unfair thing
that, whilst other professions of the law, the
army, and the navy, had their interests repre-
sented in that house by members of their respec-
tive bodies, the ecclesiastical profession should alone
remain unrepresented, especially at a time like the
present, when so many sects and divisions of opinion
assailed the church. In bringing forward this subject
he begged to observe, that he expressed opinions which
he had entertained for a great number of years ; but
that in respect to the particular motion which he had
now before the house, he had conferred with no other
member, and did not even know who he had to look to
to second his motion.
Mr. A. BARING rose to second the motion. He
did not see why a person because he had once be-
longed to the ecclesiastical profession, but since
seceded from it, should for ever be incapacitated from
a seat in that house as a representative of his fellow-
freemen.

Lord ALTHORP, who spoke in a very low tone
of voice, said that he did not see any peculiar griev-
ances which the bill proposed to be introduced by the
hon. member would remedy. There were few per-
sons who would, according to the hon. member's pro-
position, fall within the provisions of the bill ; and
under such circumstances he could not see the prac-
tical utility of such a measure, whilst there were many
points of inconvenience to be urged against its adop-
tion.

Mr. BERNAL opposed the motion. He did not
think it fitting that clergymen, or those who had ever
belonged to the clerical profession, should be seen
canvassing through the streets of a populous town, and
resorting to those certainly questionable acts by which
such canvasses were generally accompanied. (Hear,
and laughter.) There was another objection to such
a measure, that it would be the means of introducing
into that house a number of young unbeneficed clergy-
mai aspiring to preferment.
Mr. PL UM PT RE opposed the motion upon the
same grotnds, and recommended the hon. member to
withdraw it.
After a few words from Mr. A. BARING,

Mr. PRYME withdrew his motion.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND PROFESSORSHIPS
IN THE COLLEGE OF DUBLIN.

Mr. SHEIL rose to move for leave to bring in a
bill to enable Roman Catholics to hold scholarships
and professorships not connected with religious in-
struction in the College of Dublin. Amongst those
professorships which the hon. and learned member
proposed to include under this bill were the regius pro-
fessorship of common and canon law, and the pro-
fessorships of feudal and English law ; the Greek pro-
fessorship, the Donegal lectureship on mathematics,
and the appointment of astronomer royal ; together
-with the professorships under Erasmus Smith's foun-
dation, of natural philosophy, natural history, oratory,
history and oriental languages, those of anatomy and
chymistry; and, lastly, those founded by George 111.,
in 1796, for the teaching of modern languages, two in
number. The scholarships belonging to Trinity
College, Dublin, were seventy in number, and there
was no sort of political characteristic attached to them,
except that of voting for members in the united parlia-
ment conferred by the Reform Act. Under these cir-
cumstances he entreated the liberal attention of the'
government and of the house to the measure which he
proposed to introduce on the subject.
Mr. FINN seconded the motion.
Mr. T. LE FRO Y rose to oppose the motion.
Any one could easily see that that small beginning
was but the first step to the subversion of the Irish
University, and, through the subversion of that nursery
of the Irish Church, to the total extinction of the Pro-
testant religion in Ireland. That was no slight alte-
ration, as the hon. gentleman insidiously intimated,
but one of great and lasting importance ; one that
would eventually involve the constitution of the Uni-
versity in destruction. ( Hear.) He (Mr. Lefroy)
hoped he would show the government, since the hon.
member directed his appeal to that quarter, that there
was no one principle of justice or national good on
which they could stand in introducing any legislative
innovation on this subject. First, the hon. member
would open scholarships to all persons of all religious
persuasions, or of none. But he well knew that by
the constitution of the University, which in the spirit
and letter of its charter was founded, endowed, and
upheld for the culture and support of true religion, all
its officers were exclusively confined to Protestants.
If, indeed, the Irish people stood with respect to the
University in th., same situation as the English dis-
senters did to the English Universities, then there
might be some foundation for an appeal to parliament.
But when the dissenters of 0 classes were pot only
allowed the privileges of admission ;',21c1 instruction hut
even of degrees in the Irish University--when tle
university was found to answer all the provisions of
national education without murmur or public remon-
strance from the people—when it was on every side
allowed that—
Colonel PERCE VA here rose, and moved that
the house be counted ; and it being ascertained that

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1834.

The question of the poor laws comes on for
discussion to-night, and if we are to judge
from the opposition raised to the bill out of
doors, it will probably be postponed till next
session. From the great variety of interests
Involved in the measure, its vast importance,
and the hostility which might be expected
from parish authorities, it appeared to us from
the beginning that it could not pass into
a law this session. Indeed, looking at all the
circumstances of the case, it would be desirable
not to hurry the entire measure through Par-
liament ; and if any enactment take place, it
might be better to confine it to the metropolis,
or some particular district, rather as an experi=
ment than as a general and fixed law. Lord
ALTHORP will probably explain more fully
the provisions of the bill—answer the ob-
jections raised against it—and then leave
it to the House to say whether it
should be proceeded with, or allowed to
stand over for more mature deliberation. We
have taken an impartial and disinterested view
of the question from the beginning, and still
think that it may be so altered as to satisfy all,
except those who are determined not to be sa-
tisfied. At all events we look to a thorough
and impartial discussion in the Commons,
founded solely on argument, and without any
of that abusive and violent language which has
unhappily characterized the discussion out of
Parliament.

For correcting the abuses of the Poor Laws,
the leading object is to put an end to the pay-
ment of wages out of the rate. For this pur-
pose the commissioners recommend, and the bill
brought in proceeds upon that recommendation,
that no relief shall be given to any person unless
he or she go to the poor house. We think
there is here an inaccuracy, and that relief is
confounded with work. We agree that no relief
should be given to the able-bodied, and we
carry this point a little further than the commis-
sioners. We think that work should be found
for them :sub nzodo. This is the course
that has been followed by the Rev. Mr.
WHATELEY in the parish of Cookham,
where the farmers were prevailed upon to suffer
him to say to every able-bodied man who applied
for relief, "We give no relief in this parish to
' any man able to work, but farmer such-a-one
has ground to dig, and you shall have so much
a rod, as you dig it." The farmers were appre-
liensive that the paupers would dig all
the land in the parish ; but Mr. WHATELEY
says they did not dig quite half an acre. 'When
they found that by coming to the parish, they
could only got hard work and little pay, they
ceased to come at all, and found work for
themselves. This is the consequence to be
brought about, and for its accomplishment we
like Mr. WHATELEY'S plan better than that
of the Rev. Mr. BECHER, to which we think
the Commissioners have leaned too much,
while they have not attended sufficiently to
that of Mr. WHATELEY.

Mr. BECHER'S plan, however, as he has
dealt with it, has produced exactly the same
effect with that of Mr. WHATELEY, in the
situation to which it has been applied. Mr.
BECHER'S parishes of Thurgaston and South-
well form two of forty-nine parishes, united
under Mr. GILBERT'S Act. These two pa-
rishes are five miles distant from the poor-
house, and Mr. BECHER availed himself of
the act which says " relief may be with-
held from any person who does not go
into the workhouse." The parishes of Thur-
pston and Southwell, being fives miles distant
from 0-xe united workhouse, the poor people

were unwilling to leave their homes, and, rather
than do so, found work for themselveS. Mr.
BECHER'S plan, thertfore, operated in his two
parishes exactly as Mr. WHATELEY'S did in
his parish of Cookham. The object of both
is to throw the poor upon their own resources,
through which they will do a great deal more
for themselves, than it is possible for any one to
do for them. But for this purpose, we much
prefer the plan of Mr. WHATELEY, to that of
Mr. BECHER. Whether the one or the other
is to be followed, the helpless and infirm should.
be distinguished from the able-bodied. The
former, that is, those who cannot work to main-
tain themselves, are the proper objects of relief.
The latter are not. They should never be al-
lowed to ask for anything but work, and a poor-
house is not the proper place where they should
be set to work. Work cannot be created ; it
must exist, and it does exist in every
agricultural parish in England, and as it hap-
pens in those parishes the most where the Poor
Laws have been the most abused—for Mr.
BECHER states the result of his plan to have
been, that in the parishes of Thurgaston and
Southwell, the quantity of work done by a la-
bouring man is four times the quantity done in
other parishes in the county of Nottingham,
where the poor have not been reclaimed--that
is, in every parish where the poor have not
been reclaimed, labour costs four times' the sum
that it does in the parishes of Thurgaston and
Southwell. The land, therefore, in'every parish
where the Poor Laws prevail the most, must
he the least perfectly cultivated, and admits of
perhaps not quite four times the labour being
bestowed upon them which it now receives,
but certainly to an extent which would do more
than employ all the labourers in the parishes
who are out of employment, and if a suffi-
ciency of labour were bestowed to make
and keep the land dry,—to make and
keep it clean,—and to collect and apply
manure, which might be done to a great
extent, if active and available labour were
to be had for this purpose, it is not too much
to say that the produce of the soil in England
might be more than doubled, and rents in-
creased in place of falling as they now do—and
still more—if the vicious system of two white
crops and a fallow were to be exploded, and a
green crop were invariably to follow a white
crop, as in Scotland, where also a system of
under and permanent drainage is practised to a
great extent, the landlords finding the money,
and the tenants making a return for it in the
shape of an increased rent, at the rate of 7 2
per cent. of increase upon every sum furnished
by the landlord, and laid out in such drainage.
We have stated these things to show that there
is ample room in the fields for the employment
of every agricultural labourer, if the abuses of
the poor laws were removed. But we must re-
serve for another opportunity our further objec-
tions to work in the poor-house.

The House of Commons shOwed a proper re-
gard to the interests of the poor id throwing
out the Bucklebury Enclosure Bill. When
waste lands are'of a description to repay the
labour of cultivation, it is highly beneficial to
enclose them for that purpose, provided the in-
terests of those having a right to the common
be attended to, but in this instance both
these requisites were wanting. It appeared
from the report of surveyors, that the
land could not be brought into profitable
cultivation ; and it also appeared that the poor
people would be great sufferers by the bill, and
the Lord of the Manor almost the only one be-
nefitted. Many persons having the right of
commonage, have been robbed of their property
in this way, though their title has been as good
as that of the Lord of the Manor. Mr.
WALTER, and the Members who supported
him, deserve credit for having thrown out the
measure. If some Members, who vainly at-
tempt to play great parts in the House, would
turn their attention to little matters—to busi-
ness of this description, and watch private bills,
they might be of use to the public, prevent
many acts of gross injustice, and acquire an
honourable popularity.

The Spanish Government have appointed
an Ecclesiastical Commission to examine into
the concerns of the clergy, their revenues and
duties, and to propose a plan for an effectual
reform. The admission of novices into the
monasteries and convents is suspended for the
present.

This and other measures of improvement
have made the Government exceedingly
popular.

Important news was received last night from
Spain, via Bayonne, dated May 6. It is that
Don CARLOS had embarked for England, and
that the affairs of Portugal had been arranged
between Don MIGUEL and Don PEDRO. The
French Secretary, who brought this intelligence
to Bayonne, from whence it is conveyed by tele-
graph, is the same gentleman from whom the re-
port of the death of FERDINAND was conveyed by
theßayonne telegraph some weeks before the event
really occurred. It is possible that he, or the
directors of the telegraph, may have again mis-
taken a confident rumour at Madrid for a posi-
tive fact, officially announced. Yet there is no-
thing improbable in either or both these occur-
rences. Our present advices from Lisbon do
riot come lower than the 26th ult.; and between

that day and the Ist of May, the intelligence
of the Quadruple, or, as it has been well
termed, the PEACEFUL ALLIANCE, might
have arrived, Don CARLOS have embark-
ed in the Tagus for England, and the
negotiations between the' QUEEN'S govern-
ment and Don MIGUEL assumed a shape
from which a final adjustment might be con-
fidently anticipated. We therefore believe that
CARLOS has embarked oris about to embark for
England, and we are equally assured that an
arrangement with Don MIGUEL, which will
lay his pretensions at rest, and restore Portugal
to tranquillity, is either actually agreed upon,
or will by the moral effect of the quadruple
treaty be immediately accomplished. The
treaty had arrived at Madrid on the 29th or
30th of April. The ratification was to be
signed the day after the French secretary left
that capital, which was the 3d of May.

The German papers, received this morning,
contain no news of interest to the English
reader. They mention that accounts had been
received from Constantinople to the 9th.
ACHMET PACHA had arrived, and been re-
ceived with marked distinction. The new
Hospodars had been summoned to Constanti-
nople in order to be installed by the Porte ; as
soon as this is done, the principalities will be
formally constituted, and completely evacuated
by the Russian troops. M. ANCILLON was
to return to Brussels in a few days.

LITERATURE.

FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW,
No. XXVL London, 1834.

We have read better, and some few worse
numbers than this, which is just of average ex-
cellence, and no more. In the first article,
headed " Spanish Painters," an attractive sub-
ject is spoiled by a clumsy, common-place
mode of handling. The writer is simply a dry
chronicler, instead of being imbued, as he should
be, with a befitting apprehension of the Fine
Arts. He ushers in Velasquez and Murillo with
amazing parade to our notice, and then takes
leave of them, almost at the threshold, as if he
feared that, by enlarging on their peculiar ex-
cellencies as painters, he might betray his igno-
rance. 'We looked, as a matter of course, for
some remarks on Murillo's heads, which beam
with expression. But, no. There is not a
word on the subject. There is not the slightest
notice taken even of that exquisite little gem—
the Duenna, we think it is—now in the pos-
session of Lord Durham, and exhibited a few
years since at the British Gallery. By-the-bye,
why does the author go out of his way to sneer
at what he calls the " conventional forms" of
Carlo Dolce ? This is very bad taste, to say
the least of it. If not a first-rate painter, Carlo
Dolce yet holds a high rank among artists, and
deserves some more respectful notice than a
dull sneer. Though as a whole the essay is
bald and superficial, yet it contains one cka-
racteristie anecdote concerning the Spanish
pairiter Cano, which we extract
" His character was singular and his temper hasty :
when the auditor of Granada did not appear to value
sufficiently a St. Antony which Cano had executed
by his orders, the artist destroyed it before his face.
The choir of the cathedral of Malaga he left un-
finished for the same reason. On his death-bed he is
said to have put aside a crucifix offered him by his
priest, because it was badly executed, and thus to
have shown the ruling passion for art strong even in
his last moments."

" Comparative Mortality of different Popu-
lations," will amuse those who are addicted to
such sombre speculations. The population of
Normandy, it seems, is the most stationary
which has yet appeared, and the whole province
in a much better physical condition than the
average of France. M. Charles Dupin indeed
is quite shocked at its Malthusian character,
and cannot at all reconcile the tardy growth of
its population to his sense of the fitness of
things. The reason is this :

" The people are proverbially slow and circum-
spect.' They calculate on the consequences of a
family. Marriage is there entered into later, and is
less prolific, than in the average of France, just be-
cause the primitive peasants shrink from the respon-
sibility of bringing children into indigence, and sub-
jecting them to the vices it insures. The operation
of this principle has its origin in remote antiquity ;
and hence Normandy has always been remarked as a
substantial, if not a wealthy province. The principle
is consolidated into proverbs, and embodied in cus-
toms ; which at once demonstrates its antiquity of
origin, and the power of its control. It is an adage
with the Norman rustics, that to merit a husband, a
young woman must have a goodly stock of bride's
clothes of her own manufacture. The more elabo-
rately these garments are prepared, and the more
costly they are, the fitter is the possessor deemed to
be mother of an industrious family. The manufac-
ture is often a prolonged work ; and it is not rare for
the girls to play at the wheel, encouraging themselves
by the maxim, it faut filer son marl. But although
we detect these emphatic intimations, the practical
question is not begun to be resolved. How was this
beautiful prudence infused into the Norman mind ?
How has it attained an energy to bear it through the
shock of ages ?—by what beneficent circumstances
is it still guarded ?" _ . _

It is clear from the expression " beautiful
prudence" that the writer of this treatise is a
disciple of the Malthus and Martineau school
—which certainly does not say much for the
" beauty" of his own " prudence." But all
men have their hobbies. " Swedish Periodical
Literature" is passable, and will be read with
interest by antiquarians and black-letter men.
" Austrian Government and Italian Liberals"
is an able and temperate article, just the sort of
thing to enforce attention to its remarks.
" Ichthyology" is as dull as a modern epic, and
as dry as a Utilitarian essay. But how should
it be otherwise ? Who cares to know about
the " sclerotica, or outer coat of a fish's eye ;"
or to be told that a mackarel has " no eye-lids,
but occasionally a membranaceous fold ?" All
that one desires to know on the subject of mac-
karel is, when it is in, and when out of, season.
“Judicial System of British India" is the best-
drawn up article in the number. It is full of useful
materials for the statesman or the historian,
and is the result of long and attentive investi-
gation of the subject. The notice of Prince
Puckler-Muskau's last work is amusing, chiefly
by reason of its copious extracts. Though full
of quaint conceits and crotchets, the Prince is a
diverting writer, whether he turns fact into tic-

tion, fiction into fact, indulge in maudlin sen-
timent or outrageous caricature. His Travels
in England are the most entertaining we have
read since the days of the renowned Mun-
chausen.

ROOKWOOD A ROMANCE.
Three Vols., London, 1834.

This is a romance perfectly in accordance
with the modern French school of wild excite-
ment, and has all the fantastic horror, the
shadowy gloom, the recklessness, and the in-
tense but somewhat strained interest proper to
that school. It is singular that the brilliant
success which attended the introduction of
Notre Dame de Paris to the English reader
should not have earlier induced imitation ; but it
was no easy matter, we conclude, to tread in the
steps of that great master of the terrible.
Here, however, we have not an imitator, but a
rival. We do not hesitate to say that many
portions of " Rookwood " are worthy of Hugo
himself, and exhibit the same force which
he exhibited in the " Hunchback." There
is a " double murder," if we may so term it,
which takes place in a vaulted chapel, in the
dark, and amongst a crowd of gipsey by-standers.
The interest of the tale, which is deeply tragic,
is well sustained and exciting. Our limits do not
permit of an analysis of the story, nor should
we under any circumstances spoil the reader's
interest. It is that- of an old family, oppressed
by hereditary crime, and an appalling fatality
against which each member vainly struggles. The
scenes are dramatically wrought, and we doubt
not we shall shortly see it transferred to the
stage. The gipsey heroine Sybil is a delightful
character. Her love, her devotion, her
self-abandonment, and her fate, have power-
ful claims upon our sympathies. In the
hands of a skilful actress (such as Mrs. Yates,
for instance) what might not be made of this
character ? One other peculiar feature of this
romance we may notice, viz., its picturesqueness.
The sepulchre of the Rookwoods, with the
grey old sexton, and the dark figure of Luke
Rookwood—the marble effigy and the grim ar-
ray of coffins—the wavering light, would form
an excellent subject of a certain kind. We
must not omit to mention the highwayman
Turpin is a prominent feature of this remark-
able romance, and that his celebrated ride to
York forms an episode to the main story.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only arrival this morning is the express from Paris.
M. St. Aubin had arrived in Paris from Madrid, which he
left on the 30th, where it was reported that Don Carlos
and Don Miguel had acceded to the terms offered to them,
and consented to embark.

All this is as yet only report, and the report spread yes-
terday of their actually having embarked, still requires con-
firmation.

GLASGOW LOTTERY.—The Committee ap-
pointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the
origin and present state of the Glasgow Lottery pre-
sented their report to the House yesterday, it states
" that the committee do not see sufficient grounds to
recommend any legislative interference with the draw-
ing of the Glasgow Lottery, which is proposed to take
place on the 22d July in the present year, and which is
stated on the part of the contracters to be their third
and final drawing." It further recommends that a bill
should be brought into Parliament declaring that no
other Glasgow Lottery except the one to be drawn on
the 22d July next shall be deemed legal.

Died, at Albano, near Rome, on the 18th of
April, the Most Rev. Dr. Oliver Kelly, the venerable,
revered, and pious Archbishop of Tuam.
About one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
a dog, suffering under hydrophobia, dashed through
the windows of a tavern in Holborn, to the no small
consternation of the company assembled. Two
gentlemen, however, with great presence of mind and
determination of purpose, immediately attacked the
furious animal, and never left it until it lay dead at
their feet.

On Saturday night a boat belonging to
Deal, called the John, entered the harbour, and the
officers of Customs observing that the crew were
making off in different directions, endeavoured to in-
tercept them and two were seized, but one got away.
On the person of the man detained they found a large
jacket and trousers, with innumerable seams in each,
which were filled with tea to the amount of about 24
pounds weight. The boat was immediately seized,
and the man, whose name is W. May, was sent to
prison for the penalty.—Kentish Gazette.

DEBATE ON THE REPEAL OF THE
UNION.—The morning papers containing these im-
portant debates were sent daily by express to Mr. J.
K. Johnson, Dublin, by W. H. Smith, 192, Strand.
Although each express did not leave London till eight
o'clock, a.m., such was the extraordinary speed used
that they regularly overtook one of the mails which
left London the previous evening.
It has been matter of surprise to many per-
sons here that a more decided advance has not taken
place in the funds, in consequence of the promulgation
of the plan for the reduction of the 4 per cents., but it
turns out, at least there is every reason for believing
so, that an opposition to it has been got up by a body
no less formidable than the Scotch banks, who, out of
their hostility to ministers, have determined on em-
ploying what power they possess, which is by no
means inconsiderable, in preventing the measure from
taking effect. With this view, they are said to have
sold stock extensively since it first became known that
such an intention was entertained. An opposition
more impotent cannot, however, easily be imagined.
The London capitalists, who support the plan, are
more than a match for those of the north, and the
attempt therefore can only recoil on themselves, and on
their constituents and allies. barge sales, as was
anticipated, have taken place to-day ( Thursday) in the
4 per Cents., which have declined in price, and ap-
proach nearer to the level of the 31 per Cents. Ex-
chequer-bills have also fallen, because as the 4 per
cent. stock sinks nearer to par, it becomes a more
eligible investment of money to the bardcers than they
are; as the repayment in full in October next, with in-
terest up to that time, is secured under the new
arrangement, which makes, in fact, a better return
than Exchequer-bills.— Times.
