We have to acknowledge the receipt of a very handsome
present from Sheffield, consisting of a morocco case, con-
taining very beautiful specimens of manufacture, for which
Sheffield is so peculiarly distinguished. The articles
bear the stamp of " Wade and Butler," and " Arundell
and Mappin;" and, from their elegance and high finish,
do great justice to the makers.
The following testimonial, printed on white satin, accom-
panies the present :

" TO
" MURDO YOUNG, Esq.
" Proprietor of The Sun Newspaper.
" Sta—The high and justly distinguished situation which you
occupy, as regards the dissemination of correct political know-
ledge, at this important crisis, and the unwearied industry
evinced by you in forwarding Express Editions of your de-
servedly popular paper, on all great Parliamentary questions,
not [only to this town, but throughout the United Kingdom,
merits the thanks and gratitude of all classes professing the
name of Reformers. Allow us, therefore, respectfully to request
your acceptance of the accompanying articles as specimens of our
own manufacture, as a mark of the high esteem and admiration
which your noble and patriotic conduct has impressed upon us,
trusting that you will not relax in your labours, as a Reformer, till
all classes in the British empire have obtained their rights, founded
on the great principle of the Reform Bill.
Sincerely wishing you health, happiness, and:prosperity,
we have the honour to subscribe ourselves, the Com-
pany meeting at Mr. Luke Ellison's, S4n of the
Barrel, Pinstone-street, Sheffield.
March 26, 1835. JOSEPH SHAW, Chairman.
In a matter so personally flattering, we must be excused for
saying little. We return our Brother Reformers of Shef-
field our best thanks, assuring them that the same energy
which has hitherto stimulated our labours in the cause of
the people shall not be relaxed. The success of The
Sun is founded on its enterprise, and it will be the pride
of its conductors to merit the approbation of all true Re-
formers, by advocating those principles that conduce to
the independence, prosperity, and happiness of the country.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1835.

The debate on the Irish Church has been again ad-
journed. We cannot say that its progress is marked
by increasing interest, for the speeches last night, with
one or two exceptions, were singularly dull—some of
them indeed as heavy as lead—being, for the most part,
a repetition, in a worse form, of what had been said
on the first night.

Mr. SHELL opened the debate with an eloquent and
effective speech, in which he swept away—no very
difficult task, it may be said—the cobwebs in which
Sir JAMES GRAHAM had attempted to entangle the
weak minds of the country gentlemen. He alluded
to Scotland, as an admirable illustration of the prac-
tical application of the principle laid down by PALEY,
and founded on justice and common sense—that the
established religion of a country ought to he the reli
gion of the majority, not of the minority. Scotland
rejected episcopacy, because it was hateful to the peo-
ple, and established Presbyterianism, because the
great majority of the nation 'were attached to that
form of religion. If Sir JAMES GRAHAMS ver-
sion be right with respect to a majority of the
wh-ole empire, and not merely of ally of the individual
kingdoms of which it now consists, then Presbyterian-
ism ought immediately to be banished from Scotland ;
for assuredly it is not the religion of the majority in
any ether part of the Kingdom. A Morning Paper
says this is not a fair inference, because the Presbyte-
e,an form of Church Government was guaranteed to
Scotland by the Articles of Union.—True—but how
often have these Articles been broken ?—Hundreds of
Scotland is, therefore, not taken out of
PALEY'S rule.

times.

Mr. LEFROY followed Mr. SHELL. The Learned
Gentleman entered into various calculations to show
that the revenues of the Irish Church had been over-
rated. If he has no better foundation for those
calculations than for the assertion which he had the
hardihood to make, that the Presbyterians of Ireland
are, to a man, opposed to the National Board of
Education, we can only say that they are unworthy
of the slightest attention, and can tend only to mislead.
He denied the right of the Legislature to interfere with
Church property,or to divert it from the purpose for which
it was originally intended, forgetting all the while that
nothing would horrify him more than the application
of Church property to the purpose for which it was
originally set apart !
Mr. C. WOOD made a spirited and excellent re-
ply to the Learned Member.
Mr. DAMER made a very short speech, but quite
long enough to place him in a very ridiculous point of
view.

Sir ROBERT INGLIS, Mr. POULTER, Mr. W.
GLADSTONE, and Mr. F. O'CONNOR, followed
in succession, presenting nothing particularly worthy
.of remark, except that Mr. GLADSTONE contrived to
answer some of his own objections very satisfactorily, and
discovered a new principle which had escaped every-
body else. In private property, says the Hon. Gen•

tleman, there is a sacredness of persons—in trust pro-
perty, there is a sacredness of purposes. We had
always understood before, that in all cases of
bequest, it was the purpose only that was sa-
cred, if such a term must be used. We are really sorry
to see a gentleman of promising talents surrendering
the powers of a vigorous understanding, and deceiving
himself with such nonsensical distinctions.

The Speech of the Solicitor-General, who next ad-
dressed the House, was that of a clever and practised
lawyer, splitting hairs, and striving, by petty dexterity,
to make the worse appear the better cause. The bur-
den of the song, however, were the consequences that
might result from the success of the Motion. It
might possibly, he thought, overthrow the present Ad-
ministration, and how was so awful a calamity to be
endured, not to say repaired—for that was out of the
question !
Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, who closed the debate,
and whose speech was worthy of his high character
and universally acknowledged talents, set the Learned
Gentleman right upon some very material points,
which he, like our old friend Edie Ochiltree, had not
" felt himself called upon to remember." The fol-
lowing passage, we think, very happy :—" Now, he
for one did not know that they (the Opposition) had
great reason to be discontented with their present
places ; for, in the first place, they were the Govern-
ment. There had not been a single question yet car-
ried against them—not a single question. And as
his Noble Friend reminded him, they not only
carried on the Government of that House,
but they were the Executive Government also ; because,
at any rate, if not positive, they had a negative vote
upon the whole conduct of Government. So that,
with the exception of the mere trivial and insignificant
circumstance of sitting on the right-hand side of the
Speaker's chair, he did not see what it was they had
to quarrel with in their places.—(Hear.) The air was
freer on the side of the house on which he was. It
was an air which he had been accustomed to breathe for
the first fourteen years of his parliamentary life, and
he preferred it. Most sincerely he stated that he
preferred it, because he really did not like dangling in
chains ; and before the Right Hon. Baronet had been
in his present situation a few days longer, he would pre-
fer it too, if he did not do so already.—(Hear, and
laughter.) Had they found anything to make it dis-
agreeable to them ? They had retired from office, or
rather were dismissed—he was bound to use the
phrase—without, as he had yet learned, any com-
plaint against them, either from the King or the
country.—(Hear, hear.) Neither the King nor the
country had made any complaint, as he had yet
heard, against them. They had sacrificed no part of
their character ; neither when they sat at the Council-
table, nor when they were in that House had they made
any compromise of their opinions, which could in any
way interfere with their public actions—(Hear, hear)
—and he trusted that when they had retired from the
KING'S councils—when they were dismissed—they
had reserved that without which no man could act be-
neficially for the country—their characters.—( Cheers.)
He meant that they went out of office with that inte-
grity about them which ought to belong to the cha-
racter of every public man, and without which all
talent, experience, and stationall the smiles of the
Court, and all temporary popularity, were vain and
frivolous."

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
Monday, with intelligence from Bayonne to the 26th
ult. There is no news of any consequence in these
journals. The Turkish Ambassador at the Court of
Versailles has been summoned to attend the SULTAN
at Constantinople, and his return is fixed for an early
period. The Tribune was seized at the office on
Sunday, for an article headed " Second Letter of the
Journeymen Tailors to their Fellow-citizens." We
have not learned what was the purport of this letter,
but we presume it referred to the conduct of the Go-
vernment in the prosecution of the prisoners of April.
The Tribune had previously been seized one hundred
and eight times since the accession of Louis PHI-
LIPPE to the Throne of Republican France !
The most important intelligence from the north of
Spain is the capture of Echarri-Aranaz, a small fort
within seven leagues of Pampeluna. The garrison
held out for two days and then capitulated. By this
victory the Carlists have obtained seven pieces of ar-
tillery, and a considerable quantity of provisions and
other necessaries. Great blame is attributed to Generals
MINA and ALDEMA R for their remissness on this

occasion.

The German Papers state, on the authority of their
correspondents at Constantinople, that the English
fleet has received orders from the British Legation to
return again to Malta.

We have received Brussels and German papers. On
the 27th ult. a meeting took place in Brussels, at the
office of Mr. IVIEY s ENS AN, Advocate, composed of per-
sons whose property was destroyed during the war with
the Dutch in 1830. The object of the meeting was to
consult ab out the expediency of petitioning the legis-
lature for compensation.

Ambassmclois will be sent from Vienna to all the
Courts of Europe, to convey intelligence of the death
of the EMPEROR FRANCIS. The following is the
order in which the instructions to this effect were giYen
by the Impakial Court :—Prince CHARLES LICIT.
TENSTIEN, to Petersburgh ; Prince OLYS LICH-
TENSTEIN, to London ; Prince ALFRED SCHON-
BURG, to Paris ; Prince ADOLPHUS SCHWARTZEN-
BURG, to Berlin ; Count VINCENT ESTERHAZY,
to Dresdem, Weimar, Cassel, and Brussels ; Prince
PALPY to the Hague ; Count CECROPIANI to Mu-
nich, Stuttga rd, Carlsruhe, and Darmstadt ; Prince
KINKSKY tG Parma and Turin ; Count STEPHEN
ZICHY to Modena, Florence, Rome, and Naples ;
Count JOSE PH ESTERHAZY to Copenhagen and
Stockholm; Count SCHLICK to the two Courts of
Mecklenbrarg and to Oldenburgh ; and Prince WIL-
LIAM of _ PRUSSIA to Berlin. Prince WRIDE is ex-
pected fro m Munich, and Marquis SPINOLA from
Turin, witl I. the condolences and compliments of their
respective Sovereigns.

Letters frog Madrid to the 22d ult. have been re-
ceived. Cour a TORENO proposed in the Chamber
of Procuradon on the discussion of the Budget,
that ecclesias deal property shall henceforth be
rated . in the. same way as every other descrip-
tion of pr ope. rty. He stated, that " according
to the inc,onnac ion collected on account of the
public credit, the territorial property of the priest-
hood was calculat, ed at 4,000,000,000, which, at

3 per cent. per annum, produced a revenue of
120,000,000 reals (1,200,000 guineas), of which the
Government demanded only 20,000,000 reals, being
no more than a sixth part." We have not learned
whether this proposition was adopted or rejected by the
Chamber. The QUEEN REGENT IS in good health,
and the rumours about an immediate change of
Ministers have subsided.

Lisbon Papers to the 23d ult. have been received.
There was a rumour in the capital of an insurrection
having broken out at Oporto, which was quelled by the
activity of the civic authorities, aided by the police. The
insurgents were known to be active partizans of the
Usurper MIGUEL. The Chambers will continue their
sittings till the 20th inst., when the present Session
will terminate. The QUEEN and Prince AUGUSTUS
are in excellent health.

Advices from Greece to the 23d of February have
been received. The Regency has succeeded in esta-
blishing the Tribunals for the Administration of Jus-
tice, and in appointing the Judges who are to preside
in them. The Regency itself is so extremely unpo-
pular among the Greeks, that prayers are offered up
for the termination of its authority. Were it not for
the presence of a swarm of his Bavarian countrymen,
the KING himself would be exceedingly popular in
every part of Greece.

MAGAZINE DAY.

BLACKWOOD' S MAGAZINE.

The article on " Pitt " is, as usual, full of eloquent ex-
aggerations, and audacious hypotheses. The author is not
to be trusted in his statements, for he is an idolatrous
Pittite, and goes " the whole hog " in his detestation of
Fox. Some of his remarks on the want of political inte-
grity shown in the coalition between Fox and North, are
just, though too much in the extreme. The "_ Cruize of
the Midge" contains some bold, rough sea painting. " Si_
las Fleshpots" is a clever satirical hit at those shrewd, com-
mon-place men who, by a rigid adherence to the conven-
tional proprieties of society, entitle themselves to be called
" respectable," though, in private, they violate every prin-
ciple of honour and feeling. We have known many such,
and ranker hypocrites never felt the spirit move them to-
wards some sister Ruth at a " love-feast," or snuffled
" amen" at a conventicle. " Translations from the Greek
Anthology" are chaste and elegant. We are glad to see
a taste for the noblest literature in the world again rearing
its head among us. The Greek poets are better worth
studying than Macculloch, even though they have not the
advantage of being so unintelligible. The criticism on
" Spenser" abounds in fine thoughts, clothed in the most
graceful drapery of language. The old poet's description
of the dragon who " made wide shadow under his huge
waste," is not surpassed by anything in Milton. What a
power of expression is comprised in the one emphatic
phrase " waste !" The critic's remark that "it is only of
mere creatures of imagination that men are ever afraid, and
therefore are all poets cowards," though said half in jest, is
as true to the letter as one of Charles Lamb's quaint,
metaphysical subtleties. It is only in the pages of Black-
wood that we find these profound and sagacious truths,
thrown off with an air of indifference, as if the writer were
unconscious of the force of his observations. " Lays of
the Levellers" are remarkable for their con (more spirit.
Hogg's " Screed on Politics" is not in the Shepherd's most
piquant manner.
