which we have alluded above, we must class the Right
Rev. the Lord Bishop GLOUCESTER. At an Epis-
copal visitation, held a few days ago by his Lordship
at Cheltenham, he delivered a charge, in the course
of which he admitted that the complaints urged by
Dissenters against the Church, were well founded.
" Pluralities and the non-residence of the clergy," ob-
served his Lordship, " which were charged as the chief
abuses of the Church, had long been a source of con-
stant regret to all ranks of the Clergy. The impove-
rishment of some parishes, which rendered their union

with others indispensable to provide adequate compen-
sation for the Clergy, was owing to the emoluments of
those livings having been assigned ,to the Monaste-
ries under the Roman Catholic supremacy ; and those
emoluments and revenues were subsequently, at the
Reformation, granted to laymen, whose successors now
possess the glebes, &c., giving to the Clergy only a
small portion of the money payments. This is, in-
deed, a great abuse; but it is not an abuse on which
Church Reformers of the present day delight
to dwell." His Lordship's observations may
be unquestionably most correct ; but we 'must

which has taken place in stage coaelres. It appears
that not any of the various kinds of springs have
hitherto been subjected to accurate experiment. The
cliptical spring is usually applied to carriages that have
no perch, but the telegraph spring, which is a combi-
nation of four grasshopper-springs, is the one princi-
pally used for stage and mail coaches, with perches.
Mr. MACNEIL stated in his evidence that the relative
1 advantage of springs could be tried by an instrument which
he has invented, and " which is the first that has been
practically used for ascertaining the best description of
springs, of wheels, of axles, and the Mode of hanging car-
riages." Mr. EDGEWORTH'S ingenious contrivance
was satisfactory to a certain extent, for it proved that by
using springs, one• fifth of the power was gained. The
principle, too, of Mr. GILBERT'S paper on the same
subject, shows the advantage of the use of springs, and
that the weight which is in the body of the carriage
is allowed to keep a horizontal position, whilst the
carriage-frame and wheels pass over any obstacle.
Springs are of great service, not only by causing a
diminution of draught, and ease to travellers, but " they
cause carriages to last much longer than they would
without them. A coal-waggon or a cart drawn at the
rate of mail-coaches, would not last a month." With
respect to wheels, our authority states :
" The great point to be attended to in the wheels is that
they should be as large as possible, consistent with the work
they have to perform ; a wheel may' be n.ade too heavy by
being made too large ; but there is a certain point which should
be attended to, as well as the width of the tire and the diameter
of the wheel, that is, to proportion the wheel to the diameter
and width of the axle ; the axle should be made sufficiently
strong to bear the greatest possible weight that is ever likely
to come upon it."
A preference is given to COLLINGE'S Axle, which
has been known to run 1,800 miles without requiring
oil. Mr. MACNEIL thinks that mail coaches, con-
structed without a perch, are not so safe as others, by
reason of the lateral motion which must take place be-
ween the hind and forewheels.

We have inserted elsewhere an article from a weekly
contemporary, from which it appears that hostilities
are about to commence—perhaps we should rather say
have actually commenced--between Lord BROUGHAM
and Mr. EDWARD LYTTON BULWER. The lattergen-
tleman seems to us to have acted with singular indis-
cretion-in throwing down the gauntlet, in the way he
has done, to Lord BROUGHAM, who, he cannot but
know, posgesses a power of crushing, which few men
of the present day—certainly not Mr. BuLwEß—could
resist. Neither do we see the least ground on which so
intemperate an attack can be justified, had it been
safe in other respects. What, even according to
Mr. BULWER'S own showing, is the amount of Lord
BROUGHAM'S offence ? Merely this—that the Noble
and Learned Lord is said to have been concerned in

" setting up " a Review, in a late Number of which
there is a critique on Mr. BULWER'S writings, not
quite so complimentary as he could have wished I
This appears to be the head and front of Lord
BRouGHAm's offending; and for this, we should have
thought, a milder remonstrance might have sufficed.
Indeed, had his Lordship been the writer of the
critique, which is not pretended, it would have been
good policy in Mr. J3uLwER to have submitted to the
verdict passed on his works—for an author and a reviewer
never enter the lists on equal terms. As matters now
stand, he has shown a sensitiveness which will be laid
hold of, and through which he will be made to feel
acutely the imprudence of which he has been guilty.

The Paris papers of Tuesday, received this mon
ing, bring no political intelligence of the slightest im‘
portance. It appears from a telegraphic despatch,
dated the 6th inst., from Algiers, that ABED EL
KEDIR, the Arab chief, was defeated in the vicinity
of Oran on the 29th of August. The KING,
QUEEN, and some members of the Royal household,
set out on Monday evening for the Chateau d'Eu, in
Normandy, where they are likely to remain for some
The advices from Spain in the French journals
are more important than the domestic intelligence.
The following are extracts
The Memorial Bordelais acids the following P.S.
to the announcement of the late change in the Ministry.
" The new Cabinet no longer exists : it has been
for Spain a sort of Ministry of three days.
" We learn, in fact, that Don AUGUSTIN An-
GuELLEs has just been appointed by the QUEEN
President of the Council, with orders to re-organise the
Ministry. M. ARGUELLES was deputy to the Cortes
in 1312 and 1819. In 1820 he was part of the
Ministry known by the name of the. Seven Pearls ; he
was the colleague of AMA.RILLAS during the insur-
rection in 1820, after which he became moderate, and
was nicknamed the yinist er de las Vaginas.
"He emigrated to England, where he remained
during the eleven years of the restoration. He has no
fortune. He lately published a memoir, in which he
aims to show that the estata'to real is insufficient : he
is the. Leader of the Opposition.
" He is a man of probity, and opposed to the
Invervention.
The Courrier Francais says-" The following changes are
confidently stated to be about to be effected in the diplomatic
body :.--Baron de Barante, Ambassador at Turin, goes to St.
Petersburg, in the room of Marshal Maison ; Count de Ru-
migny, Ambassador at Berne, - succeeds Baron de Barante at
Turin ; The Duke de Montebello, Plenipotentiary Minister at
Stockholm, succeeds M. de Rumigny at Berne ; Count Charles
de Mornay, Resident Minister at Carlsruhe, goes to Stock-
holm, in place of the Duke de Montebello ; M. de Bacourt,
former Secretary of Embassy at London, succeeds M. de
Mornay at Carlsruhe ; Baron Hector Mortier, Plenipotentiary
Minister at Lisbon, goes to the Hague, in place of the Mar-
quis de Dalmatia, who was resigned ; the Count de Saint
Priest, formerly Plenipotentiary Minister at Rio Janeiro, suc-
ceeds M. de Mortier at Lisbon."

The Leeward Island Mail has brought Jamaica pa-
pers to the 9th of August, received at the North and
South American Coffee House, which contain the
Governor's Speech at the opening of the Session.
we give an extract, being too long to give the whole
at present :-
4,111 R. SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY :

" Being aware of the personal inconvenience to which many
of you might be subject by being called together at a period
of the year universally devoted to private business, I post-
poned to the present time your meeting, in the hope that the
termination of the crop in most parts of the island, might ob-
viate, in great measure, any injurious results in consequence of
your absence from your homes. The necessity, however, for
the re-enactment of certain expiring laws, and the considera-
tion of some new measures of much importance, render further
delay impossible.
" The Bill establishing a permanent police, and tie Act in
aid of the Abolition Law expiring on the last day of the pre-
sent year, it is advisable that you should reconsider them. It
is with pleasure that I feel myself enabled to state from the
reports which I have received, that the Police has attained a
degree of efficiency, not to have been effected in so short a
time, and without the assistance of inferior officers acquainted
with military discipline. Had provision been made for the
support of that force for a longer period, I could have
procured either non-commissioned officers from the re-
giments of the line in this colony, or other persons
rem England, duly qualified to organize it. I have
