WESTMINSTER ADDRESS.

- -
SECOND EDITION.
SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

South-street, Sept. 1, 1835.
hasten to acknowledge having received a copy of
the resolutions agreed to at a public meting of the house-
holders of the parish of St. James's, Westminster.
I request you to accept for yourself, and to convey to those
who have deputed you, the expression of the lively satisfaction
with which my colleagues and myself have received this decla-
ration of the confidence which is reposed in us ; and permit me
to add the assurance that nothing is so much calculated to en-
courage us to persevere in those measures, which we deem
right and expedient, than to find them sanctioned by the appro-
bation of our fellow citizens.

THiri PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Lord DEN MAN took Li. scat on the woolsack at five o'clock.
The. Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from the
Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre, against the Music and
Dancing Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM said not one person less would go to
the Theatre in consequence of that Bill becoming law—then
how could the Bill afFect the interest of the petitioners ?
The Marquis of SALISBURY was favourable to giving
the poorer classes every facility for enjoying themselves in a
rational manner; yet he felt bound to object to the Bill, be-
cause he thought it would interfere with the private inte-
rests of the petitioners and others.
Lord BROUGHAM moved the third reading of the Bill.
The Marquis of SALISBURY moved that it be read a
third time this day three months.
The amendment was put and carried without a division.
IRISH CHURCH BILL.

I remain, Sir, you:• raithful a.d dented servant,
MELBOURNE

We understand that Lord Morpeh ha 3 conferred
the post of Chief Clerk of the Irish Offic at Dublin, on Mr.
M'Donnell, son of the eminent physician of aat name of Bel.
fast, and himself creditably known for his liberal opinions and
high attainments.

We understand that the return of Lord William
Hervey from his mission to Madrid is prevented by the alarm-
ing state of health of his brother, Lord Ge3rge Hervey.
LORD BRECKNOCK.—The title of Brecknock, the
second title of the Marquis of Camden, and borne by courtesy
by the Marquis's only son; who married last week the eldest
daughter of the Bishop of Rochester and Lady Sarah Murray,
was formerly one of the titles of the noble family of Neville.
" The great Earl of Warwick," Richard Neville, surnamed
" The King-maker," was Lord of Glamorgan and Brecknock.
The Neville family, tracing an illustrious unbroken male descent
for more than eight centuries, have enjoyed in their different
branches the following titles : —The baronies of Bergavenny
or Abergavenny, Le Despeneer, Fauconberg, Latimer, Breck-
nock, and Braybroke, Glamorgan ; the Viscounty of Neville
the Earldoms of Westmoreland, Salisbury, Warwick, Kent,; Northumberland, and Abergavenny ; the Marquisate of Mon-
tacute, and the Dukedom of Bedford.
ORANGE LODGES.—The exertion 3 to apprehend
Colonel Feirman are still carried on with the greatest vigilance,
but without success. The Colonel has hitherto eluded all
pursuit.

Lord LYNDIIURST, on presenting a petition, took occa-
sion to say that lie had learned with much surprise that Minis-
ters did not intend to send down to the other House the Irish
Church Bill, because they considered it would not give satis-
faction to the majority there. Ile felt himself bound to condemn
such conduct, which must 'necessarily beget very great alarm
in the minds of the Protestant population in Ireland, leaving
as it did the whole of the Irish Protestant clergy totally un-
provided for for another year.—( Hear.) He begged to state
that very great responsibility would rest upon the shoulders of
those who pursued such a course—( Cheers. )
Viscount MELBOURNE was perfectly ready to admit the
great extent of the evil alluded to by the Noble and Learned
Lord—he was perfectly aware of the evil of leaving the question
of tithes unsettled for another year, but he must deny most
positively that the great responsibility of the case rested
with the Ministry—it rested on the shoulders of those who
had felt it their duty to oppose the measure.—( Cheers.)
Last year an opportunity was afforded the House
to set the question at rest—that opportunity was re-
jected—the necessary consequence of that was the pro-
posal of another Bill this session, coupled with other
conditions, which the interval had rendered necessary
—that opportunity their Lordships had thought proper also to
let pass, and it had been rejected. He now could not for a
moment guess at what new measure was to be brought
forward for the relief of the clergy of Ireland ; but he
was certain that the responsibility rested not with the
Ministry, but with the majority of their Lordships,
who had rejected all those measures.—(Loud cheers.)
Lord LYNDHURST denied that the majority of that
House had rejected any measure having for its object the re-
covery of tithes.

rejected the measures for the relief of the Clergy of Ire-
land. The Bill which they were said now to have re-
jected was not for the recovery of tithes, but for
the robbery of the Church by its appropriation of its revenues—
it was divided into two parts, and might have very well been car-
ried through the House. By it 658 benefices were to be
swamped—if Ministers wished to destroy the Protestant
Church of Ireland, they ought to come down to their Lord-
ships' House, and openly declare their intention, and keep it
&stela from the question of tithes--let them try the question
upon its own merits.—( Cheers.)
The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE said the Bill which their

Lieutenant-Colonel Keightley, commanding the
35th Regiment, denies that there is an Orange Lodge existing
in the regiment ; there was formerly a warrant in the corps,
which was returned by the men voluntarily to the Grand Lodge
of England, upwards of two years ago, but no meeting or
assembly has ever been held under that warrant for the last
ten or eleven years.

Letters from Vienna dwell upon the continually
suffering condition of the Emperor, and add that it is doubtful
whether his Imperial Majesty will be able to repair to Toplitz.
It is thought that in such case one of the Archdukes will be
commissioned to represent him, too many eminent personages
having been invited to the meeting for its being postponed.—

Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the
East India-house, when the Right Hon. Lord Auckland took
the usual oath as Governor-General of India.

WURZBURGII UNIVERSITY.- WITRZBURGII,
Auo. 11.—Our University, which always used to have 800
or 900 students, has declined very much, on account of the
political and other conjunctures. The circumstance that has
done it the most injury is the departure of Professor Schon-
lien, who is gone to Switzerland. Thus in the winter half-

year we had only 408 students, and tl.is summer there are
only 355.
_

By advices from Surinam, we learn that Prince
William Frederick, third son of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange, and grandson of the King of Holland, had
arrived in that colony in the Dutch frigate Ceres. The dis-
tinguished and royal visitor was of course received with every
mark of respect and demonstration of loyalty by the Governor
of the colony and its inhabitants.

Lordships had rejected was one eminently calculated to en-
sure the Irish Church from the dangers which unfortunately
now surrounded it.—( Cheers.) If that healing measure had
been agreed to it would have conferred the greatest benefits
on that Church. The Noble Duke well knew that some
such Bill was necessary. Why, then, say that those who sup-
ported the Bill were anxious for the destruction of the Church ?
If Noble Lords were anxious that the Bill as it now stood
should pass into a law, why did not some of them take up the
Bill and carry it down, and see how the other House of Parlia-
ment would deal with it. He for one could not adopt any
other mode of dealing with the Bill than that taken by the
Noble Viscount.
The Earl of RODEN and the Earl of WICKLOW both
warmly condemned the conduct of Ministers in stopping the
proceedings on the Bill.

The Jupiter frigate, Hon. Captain Grey, is ordered
to be ready for sea by the 20th inst., to take out Lord Auck-
land (the new Governor-General) to Calcutta. His Lord-
ship gave a farewell dinner on Tuesday evening, at the Ad-
miralty, to the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Melbourne,
Earl of Minto' Viscount and Viscountess Howiek, Lord and
Lady Robert Grosvenor, Earl of Ilchester and Lady Theresa
Strangways, Earl and Countess of Lichfield. and Major-Ge-
neral Sir S. Whittingharn. His Lordship has received his
outfit of 5,0001. from the Court of Directors, who give his
Lordship their farewell banquet_at the Albion Tavern, on Sa-
turday next.

ACCELERATION OF THE MAIL BETWEEN LI-
VERPOOL AND LONDON.-An arrangement has been made by
the Postmaster-General, which, by accelerating the pace of
the mail coach from Liverpool to London, and by starting
from Liverpool forty-five mir.utes sooner, will bring the mail
into London at seven P. M., which will give to Liverpool a
daily direct post to the Continent instead of twice a week
only, and will also save twenty-four hours' delay on all let-
ters passing through London. This desirable arrangement is
to commence this day ( September 3). The mail will then
start from the Post-office at Liverpool at half-past nine, and
the box will be closed at nine. This will not at all curtail
the time for writing to London, as a second bag will be
despatched for London every morning at eight o'clock, the
letter-box being open during the night and till half-past seven
the next morning, and by this conveyance letters are delivered
in London at the same time as those sent by the mail of the
previous night.

Lord BROUGHAM contended that it was the duty of a
Government to carry through their own measures, but not the
measures of others, of which they disapproved, and of which
they had stated their disapproval. Some surprise had been ma-
nifested because his Noble Friend had risen and said he would
not go on with the Bill, by which he had saved their Lordships
two or three nights' debates. But suppose his Noble Friend
were to go on, it would be received in the other House, be-
cause it was a different, mutilated, bad, and unjust measure,
and not the measure which that House had passed.

(LEFT SPEAKING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
TIMBER DUTIES.

Mr. ROBINSON presented a petitionfrom GOO merchants
of Montreal, and one from persons engaged in the timber
trade in the City, praying that no alteration might be made in
the timber duties. By the proposed alteration our North Ame-
rican Colonies would be ruined, and they would be rendered un-
able to pay for the manufactures of this country which they re-
quired. Notwithstanding what the late Chancellor of the Exche-
quer had prophesied, trade had not been increased with France ;
on the contrary, it was threatened with ruin. He could not
but think that Committees upon trade, commerce, &c., were
mere farces, because they were always appointed by the Go-
vernment of the day, and re-echoed their sentiments. He was
sure that if any Member would examine the evidence given on
this question he would see that it was in favour of the pre-
sent scale of duties.

The first trip of the aerial ship has been under the
care of John Doe and Richard Roe ; it was seized for debt on
Monday, and removed in three waggons.
THE RECORDER'S REPORT.—Yesterday the Re-
corder made his report to his, Majesty of the undermentioned
capital convicts who were convicted at the last Session of the
Central Criminal Court, viz. ;Richard Lakey, 29, cutting
and wounding ; Thomas Dominick Feeley, 53, forging a will ;
Daniel Bryant, 18; Thomas Wright, 16; John Williams, alias
Weatherstone, 17 ; Robert Higgs, 17, all for burglar Y ; Thomas
Hoblas, 19, robbery. All of whom his Majesty has been gra_
ciousle pleased to respite during pleasure.
By the death, which we lately announced, of John
Biddulph, Esq., of Burton-park, in Sussex, that beautiful
place devolves, under his will, upon his cousin, Anthony
Wright, Esq., of Waltons, in Essex, who, pursuant to the re-
quest of the deceased, is to take the name and arms of Bid-
clulph, jointly with his own. Biddulph Castle, in Staff,rd-
shire, and Brambletye-house, in Sussex, descended to the
above Anthony Wright and Thomas Stonor, Esq., of Stonor_
park, in Oxfordshire, in equal moieties under the will of
Richard Biddulph, Esq., uncle to the deceased.--.21/0176,19
Paper.
Letters were received from Genoa yesterday to the
25th ult., which give a most fearful detail of the progress of
the cholera there. The people were quitting the place in
great alarm. A religious procession had taken place with
great solemnity. At the date of the letters leaving, however,
a northerly wind had set in, and great hopes were entertained
that by this the contagion would be arrested.
WHALES IN BERWICK BAY.—There are at pre-
sent in Berwick Bay, near to Holy Island, several whales of
the species Balalla Physalus, or fin-fish, which may be seen
at a considerable distance blowing water to a great height, as
they pursue the numerous shoals of herrings now in the bay,
and on which they feed. Large parties of the numerous vi-
sitors at present enjoying sea bathing at Spittal, in taking a
trip to Holy Island, have had opportunities of seeing these
huge monsters, measuring from 50 to 60 feet in length, plung-
ing about within musket- shot, and spouting water in great
quantities to a considerable height.
A remarkable fish has this week been exhibited by
Mr. Kelsall, fishmonger of Chester, which, from its rare ap-
pearance in this quarter of the globe, attracted the attention
of the curious. It was caught in the Weir nets, in the Bay of
Llandudn, near Conway ; its weight was about 901 b., its
length about 4 feet, its breadth upwards of 8 inches, its colour
a silvery-gold, tinged with red. It proved to be the Chryso-
tosus, or Opah. It is found in the Northern and Atlantic
seas, and from the inspection of drawings in the Museum at
Paris, Lacepede is disposed to consider that it likewise inha-
bits the Chinese seas. Dr. Mortimer says that the Prince of
Anamaboe, on the cout of Africa; recognized in an English
specimen, this fish, which be said was common on his own
shores, and very good to eat.—Macclesfield Courier.
THE TEA TRADE.—The sale at the East India

Mr. CALLAGHAN presented a similar petition, but from
what place did not transpire.
Mr. VI L LEERS said he represented a constituency who
were decidedly opposed to all restrictions upon trade, and
who would be led to look upon the arguments of the Hon.
Member for Worcester as vain declamation.—( Hear, hear.)
These duties united all the disadvantages that were combined
in every other tax. He compelled the community to pay the
hicrliest price for the worst article, and prevented them from
using the best article at the lowest possible cost.—( Hear,
hear.) The object of the trade was to afford every possible
advantage and enjoyment of life at the least possible cost, and
unless the Hon. Member could show that reciprocity prombted
that object, he could not show any connection between reciprocity
and the trade. He believed, that mischievous as he considered
the duties upon foreign trade, that the timber duties were
far more injurious. He should like to see those principles
acted upon in foreign countries, so as to induce this coun-
try to call for the removal of all injudicious restrictions.
Dr. BO WRING--They all desired reciprocity, but not
all on one side. All that he and those who thought with
him desired, was to give the capital and industry of this
great country fair play.
Sir F. TRENCH rose to request that his Majesty's Mini-
sters would not take advantage of the interval between this
and the meeting of Parliament, to begin, or to lay the foun-
dation of any proceeding founded upon the resolutions of the
Committee upon the Timber Duties, until that House should
have had an opportunity of discussing them. He was obliged,
at the desire of his constituents, to take this course, which
might be interpreted into a suspicion of unfairness, which per-
sonally he did not entertain.
Mr. WARBURTON—There never was an instance like
this, where they had given individuals to a certain extent so
monstrous a protection as they had given to the shipowners,
and that class of the community contended for the perpetuation
of these restricted duties. What was really their proposition ?
Formerly in 1822, when the former Committee sat, the propo-
sition was this—that whatever difference there was in freight
between bringing timber from the Baltic and from
Canada, that to that extent they should give the Canadas pro-
tection. More than that, they said they would not only give
their protection to the extent of the difference of freight, but
to the extent of 50 per cent. on the prime cost. Those per-
sons, however, were not satisfied with that, nor would they be
satisfied till they had complete exclusion.
-Mr. THORNEI.EY greatly rejoiced to seethis step taken
with respect to the timber duties, and he hoped that another
session of Parliament would advance Free Trade much more
th..n it was at present.
Mr. ROBINSON stated that if he was in error on this
subject, Mr. Huskisson, and several who had gone before him,
were also so. He trusted the House would recollect that
they were not infallible.
Mr. STRUTT thought the proposition of the Hon. Mem-
ber for Worcester unreasonable, as he objected to the reduc-
tion of the duty, which would lead to free trade. He hailed
the recommendation of the Committee with great satisfaction,
as it appeared something like an approximation to free trade.
Mr. P. M. STEWART thought there was nothing in the
evidence justifying the conclusion to which the Committee on the
Timber duties had arrived. He did not mean to advocate the
old-fashioned doctrines of Exclusive Trade, but he hoped the
House would be *cautious in meddling with subjects without
the clearest demonstration for the necessity of doing so.
Ile objected to the Canadas being spoken of, not as an inte-
gral portion of that country, but as a nation opposed to them.
If Hon. Members,would only prove that the interest of the
consumer would be consulted by the proposition of the Com-
mittee, it should have his (Mr. Stewart's) warmest support.
But in his (Mr. Stewart's) opinion, from the manner in which
the evidence had been prepared, there was no case made out
to justify the proposition of the Committee.
Mr. HUME wished the Hon. Member who bad last spoken
had adhered to the recommendation laid clown by himself, not
to enter further upon the discussion. If the Hon. Member
claimed the right of going to the cheapest butcher and baker,
why should he deny him (Mr. Hume) the privilege of going to
the cheapest timber-merchant ? He must protest against the
unfair argument of the Hon. Member for Worcester, that no
man could accuse him of ignorance. Why, he ( Mr. Hume)
accused the Hon. Member of ignorance. The Hon. Member had
charged him ( Mr. Hume) with being a visionary, but he would
tell the Hon. Member that he was ignorant.—( A laugh.)
So far as he (Mr. Hume) understood the speech of the Hon.
Member, his opinions appeared to be those of a person not
only ignorant of political economy, but his arguments ineon•
sistent with common sense. If the suggestion of the Hon.
Member was to be followed up, in order to get good timber,
they should send ships to the Baltic, and from thence to Ca-
Ilasla—(Elear)—so that instead of having that timber home
in two months, the vessels would have to go all round the
world, and realer be much improved by doubling Cape

House proceeded with animation yesterday; not less than be-
tween 18,000 and 19,000 chests having passed daring the day.
The finer breaks of black leaf congous were sold for 3d. per
pound higher than in June last, and most teas possessing
strength realized an advance of Id. to 2d. per pound. Upwards
of 35,000 chests have already passed the sale ; bat a good deal
was again refused at the taxed prices yesterday. In all it Is
expected that the trade will refuse 10,000 chests of the East
India Company's present declaration.
The change of weather, which was so greatly de-
sired, commenced at Dorchester on Friday evening last, by a
violent storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents
of ra:n, aryl every day and night since there has been a succes-
sion of refreshing showers. The rain on Fri lay seems, from
the accounts received, to have been general in the midland,
eastern, and western counties.—Dcr.sk t Chronicle.

MAIDSTONK.—Our duty as hop reporters is 110 W
drawing to a close. The commencement of the picking puts
an end to much of the uncertainty which up to this period un-
avoidably prevails respecting the quality and quantity of the
crop, and speculations and conjectures give place to matters of
fact. In many grounds in this district the process of picking
commenced yesterday, and by the end of this week or the be-
ginning of next (when operations will be commenced in Mr.
Ellis's extensive plantations) it will have become general. We
continue to receive complaints from many quarters of the state
of the plant, and confident predictions that the duty will fall
much below its present estimate. Mr. Ellis, we hear, does not
expect to grow more than he did last year, when the duty pa!,:,
only 189,713/. and many other planters express a similar opi-
nion respecting their grounds. But- for the rain last v.,eek,
which forced the sap up again into the bine of plants which
had previously appeared ripe, the picking would doubtless by
this time have been general.—Maidstone journal.
--STATE OF TRADE.--There have been pretty brisk
markets at both the coloured and white cloth at Leedsl—prices
are rather higher on some descriptions of pods. There
has also been more business done in the warehouses during
the week, than has bean the case for some time past. Prices
have been firm at the Halifax market. At Bradford there
has been ne alteration. The demand for yarn eiltinues steady,
and prices, though steadily maintained, have not advanced a
fraction. The Rochdale flannel market has been brisk, but
prices remain stationary. At Manchester trail ! has been ra-
ther dull—ticks were very flat—quiltings were 1 ass jug uired after
—and the yarn market was also very slack,..-,4:eds Mercury.
