DELAIDE GALLERY Of PRACTICAL
SCIENCE, Adelaide-street, Strand; London.—For this
Institution a Royal Charter has be.en gi•antcd, incorporating the
Proprietors under the title of the " SOCIETY for the ILLUS-
TRATION and ENCOURAGEMENT, of PRACTICAL
SCIENCE."

It is established with a capital divided into 400 shares of 50/.
each, and is managed by a Council of not snore than fifteen Pro-
prietors.

The property of the Society consists of the extensive leasehold
Premises, the textures, and furniture, the Philosophical and other
apparatus, constituting a large portion of tlie" present EXHIBI-
TION, with a considerable money capital, and the current income
derived from visitors and periodical subscribers. Some of the
Shares may be now obtained.
The Gallery and Rooms, with the numerous Exhibitions which
they contain, are OPEN to the Public DAILY, at Half-past Ten
o'clock. Admittance Is. Descriptive Catalogues; Is.
New inventions, specimens of superior manufacture, and other
Works of Art, if approved by the Council, are admitted free of
expense, for Exhibition.

The publication of TAR SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day
at 15 minutes past 3 o'clock.

saying that he is a Dissenter, although he may not
attend dissenting worship. Many persons attend the
Church one part of the day, and the Meeting-house
the other—in what class are they to be put ? and what
is to be done when one of the parties belongs to the
Church and the other is a Dissenter ? There are,
besides, not a few staunch Churchmen and Church-
women, who have a great repugnance to some parts of
the marriage service. Why should not their feelings
be consulted as well as those of the Dissenters ?
The Churchman may say to Sir.. ROBERT PEEL,
" You have given the Dissenter his choice of two
modes of having the marriage ceremony performed—
/am confined to one. He may go privately before the
magistrate, or the magistrate, if so inclined, may go to
him—the marriage contract maybe entered into, and
the religious service performed, under the paternal roof,
while /am compelled to go to the parish church, exposed
to the rude gaze and coarse jokes .of the idle and
vulgar crowd which always assembles on such occa-
sions, after I have had my intended marriage proclaimed
to the congregation three several Sundays, or have been
put to ten times the expense which falls upon the Dis-
senter." We trust, therefore, that the very objection-
able oath to which we have alluded will be dispensed
with, and that it may be deemed sufficient for the
parties to state, that they object to be married accor-
ding to the form of the Church of England.
There is another provision in the Bill which we
think may be advantageously altered. Seven days'
residence in the Hundred in which the marriage is to
take place, is required before the notice is served on
the Magistrate. This may often be attended with the
greatest inconvenience, and we know of no good likely
to result from it. If it is intended to prevent clandes-
tine marriages, how is that object effected by the pre-
sent law, which requires a longer residence than this,
not merely within the Hundred, but Within the parish
where the marriage is to be celebrated ? Let it be
remembered, too, that a licence dispenses entirely with
the law in this respect.
We trust, also, that when the details of the Bill
come to be considered in Committee, it will be recol-
lected that a Hundred is a different thing in different
parts of England. In some places it comprehends
Many parishes, in others only part of a parish.

There will be found in another part of The Sun
the first report of the Ecclesiustical Commissioners.
The branch of the enquiry to which the Commission-
ers. have confined themselves in this report is the state
of the dioceses ; and they judiciously subdivide the
subject into three heads, as it relates to territory, re-
venue, and patronage : for the improvements suggested
under each of these divisions we must refer our
readers to the report itself. The leading prin-
ciples adodted by the CommissiOners in the
alterations which they propose appear to us on the
whole entitled to approbation. It is clearly impossible
to equalize the dioceses in extent, in population, in
number of benefices, and in -many other circumstances
which must materially affect the extent of a BiShop's
duties and labours. All that can be expected in such
a case is, that as near an approximation to equality
shall be made as may be practicable; and in this re,
spect we think no fault can be found with the
way in which the Commissioners have discharged their
duties. Whether the plan by which they recom-
mend the minimum stipend of a Bishop to be 4,5001.
assigning a still larger sum to the Archbishops, will
give equal satisfaction, we doubt. The Archbishop, of
Paris has 800/. per annum, and we have never heard it
complained of as inadequate to all the legitimate purposes
of the office. Why cannot the English Bishops be relieved
from that part of their functions, which in fact secu-
larises them, by making them temporal Peers, and
besides subjecting them to the performance of du-
ties inconsistent with their sacred calling, and re-
pugnant to their feelings, renders a much larger sti-
pend necessary to. support a degree of pomp wholly
alien from the meek and humble character, of a Minis-
ter of the Gospel of Christ ?

Mr. HumE called the attention of Government last
night to the difference of the charge now made on
newspapers coming from our several colonies. This
must be an error in the construction put upon the Act,
which was evidently intended to free all such papers
from any charge, and we hope that this exaction will
be put an end to.

We are glad to see that the House of Commons
took up with so much spirit the case of alleged inter-
ference with the freedom of election, by some of the
Government Officers, at the last Chatham election.
Nothing but the Ballot will cure such things, and this
opinion was expressed by several Hon. Members.

The question of Poor Laws for Ireland gave rise to
a long discussion yesterday in the House of Commons.
The general feeling seemed to be decidedly favourable
to the introduction of some system of relief for the
aged and helpless poor in that country, and the ques-
tion was merely deferred to wait for the report of the
Commission, which was appointed for that purpose, to
enquire into the present state of the Irish Poor, and
which is still proceeding with that investigation. No
man in his senses would propose to introduce into Ire-
land, or any other country, the abuses of the Poor
Laws, which have been so great a curse to England ;
but, divested of those abuses, and founded upon the spirit
and intent of the original law of Queen ELIZABETH,
such an enactment would be produaive of the greatest
bene fit to Ireland, and we are convinced, is absolutely
necessary to the welfare and tranquillity of that coun-
try. It is the only way to oblige the absentee land-
lords to contribute to the relief of the poor, and to
prevent those heartless ejectments of the peasantry
which are now so frequent. If those unfeeling men
will not spontaneously fulfil the obligations which mo-
ral and religious duty imposes upon every large pro-
prietor, they must be forced to contribute their share
to the general fund of charity and benevolence.

The question of Canadian grievances and com-
plaints was resumed yesterday, in consequence of a
petition presented by Lord BROUGHANI to the House
of Lords, from a majority of the representatives of
Lower Canada, and a large number of the Upper
House of that province. The petition, like that re-
cently presented to the House of Commons by Mr.
ROEBUCK, complained of the conduct of the Execu-
tive Government, and of the construction of the Upper
House, which, instead of being nominated by the
Crown, was nominated by a certain set of persons
who elected each other. Nearly all the popular Bills
passed by the. Lower House were rejected or mutilated
by the Upper, and the two Houses had now arrived
at a state of direct collision. The Earl of RIPON.
defended himself, as former Secretary for the Colonies,
by saying, like Mr. SPRING RICE in the Commons,
that the Resolutions passed last year by the Legisla-
tive Assembly of Lower Canada, which embodied the
charges contained in the petition just presented by
Lord BROUGHAM, although most violent, unjust,
and unfounded, were referred to a Select 'Committee of
the House of Commons, who rigidly investigated the
subject. Every thing had also since been done by the
Government to allay the discontent, and to remedy the
grievances, which were really found to exist.
The extent to which these, lamentable differences
have now been carried, the mixture of a French and
British population, differing in religion, manners, and
ideas, the immediate contiguity of Canada to the
United States, and the geographical position of Lower
Canada, which cuts oft' Upper Canada from all inter-
course with the mother country, and the rest of the

world, unless through its territory, or that of the United
States—all these considerations tend to give this ques-
tion an unusual degree of importance ; and it has, we
are happy to see, received from the Home Govern-
ment the attention which it demands. Our readers
learnt yesterday, that the late Speaker, Lord CANTER-
BURY, had ,been appointed to proceed as Commis-
shier to Canada, for the purpose- of endeavouring to
bring these unfortunate differences .to a satisfactory
settlement. From all that we have learnt respecting
this question, we have no doubt that both parties have
been greatly to blame. There seems to have been on
one side a want of sympathy for the habits and feelings
of the French population, and a good deal of fa-
vouritism and partiality in the acts of the local Go-
vernment and Upper House ; while, on the other side,
the French part of the community, and the Lower
House, in which it has a large majority, have been far
too violent in their proceedings, and have exhibited a
feeling of jealousy, almost amounting to national anti-
pathy, towards the local Government, and the British
portion of their fellow-subjects. This, as might be
expected, has led to the adoption of a system in which
every species of annoyance has been mutually em-
ployed, and the present state of things is the result.

We have received intelligence from Rome to the
sth, from Vienna to the 11th, and from Brussels, to
the 19th instant, together with advices from Naples
to the 27th of February. In the Papal 'States, the
only subject of conversation is the Carnival ; in Ger-
many, the death of the Emperor FRANCIS ; and in
Belgium, the prosperity of the cotton-spinners—all
subjects which have been repeatedly pressed on the
attention of our readers.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
.Wednesday. They are unusually barren of all inte-
resting intelligence. On Tuesday the Chamber of
Deputies, towards the close of its Sitting, was occu-
pied with discussing the project of the law for making
Ministers personally responsible for the acts of the Go-
vernment. Much discussion took place on the nature
of the offences for which they should be made charge-
able, and whether such offences ought or ought not to
be severally specified in the body of the-law. Of these
treason, embezzlement, and prevarication, were chiefly
dwelt upon ; and when it was proposed to add the fal-
sification of election returns, and the endangering of
the public safety, M. GUIZOT declared that such ad-
ditions were unnecessary, as they were , severally inclu-
ded in the crime of "prevarication ! " After this,
the world must admit that it knows almost nothing yet
of the comprehensibility of language. Who, save
such ethical phenomena as M. GuizoT, would think
of charging with simple prevarication a Minister who
had been notoriously guilty of endangering the safety
of the State ? But legislators are mostly in the habit
of legislating for themselves, by a rule the reverse of
what forms their standard with regard to the mass of
the people.
The question of Ministerial responsibility has more
or less engaged the attention .of the French Govern-
ment, since the accession of Louis XVIII. In
the Charters of 1814 and 1830 it is slightly allu 'ed
to, and as every change in the Government is liable
to affect the character of the KING, it has become im-
perative on the SOVEREIGN to press the settlement of
a question so necessary to his personal safety. The
project of law under *consideration contains only three
important articles. The first declares that no official
act of the KING shall be legal, unless countersigned by
the Minister of that particular department ; that such
Minister shall be held responsible for such regal
act, precisely as if it were voluntarily his own ;
and that all Ministers shall be equally respon-
sible for the acts of the Government, acting in
that capacity. The second article declares that
Ministers may be impeached for high treason
fraud, and prevarication ; and the third defines minis-
terial high treason to consist in attempting the life of
the KING, or any member of the Royal Family, or
subverting the Constitutional charter, or the safety of
the State at home and abroad. On the second article
being read, an amendment was proposed to be added
by a Member of the Opposition, declaring that it shall
be lawful to accuse Ministers of endangering the safety of
the State, for abuse of official power, and for the non-ex-
ecution of the charter where its provisions are imperative.
This amendment, though in all respects most upob-
jectionable, was warmly opposed by M. GuiZot, on
the ground that prevarication alone included all the
guilt of which it was possible to charge the servants of
the Crown.

POOR LAW COMMISSION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l believe the Poor Law Commissioners would effect
much good by ascertaining the rate of every description of
labour in every county, and publishing it; so that that portion
of the working class which is worst paid, may either remove to
places where they can turn their services to better account, or
direct their attention to more romunerative employments.—
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

SUPERIOR MANUFACTURES.--The Council of
the Society for the Encouragement of Practical Science, with
that liberality which has marked all their proceedings, admit
to their Gallery in Adelaide-street, called " The Adelaide
Gallery," for exhibition to the public, all works of art, or spe-
cimens of superior manufacture, without cost to the inventor
or proprietor for admittance, rent, or commission on sales ;
and return the articles on demand, requiring only that they be
first submitted to the Council, and be subject to their approval.
LORD BROUGHAM.-We learn from a private
source that this eminent Nobleman and lawyer has consented
to act as Judge of Scots Appeals in the House of Lords. As
the office brings no emolument, his Lordship is entitled to the
greater praise, and is thus relieved from the mean suspicions
which his enemies arc so ready to attach to his character.
Lord Brougham has long been anxious that the judicial and
political functions of the Woolsack should be separated ; and
in thus accommodating a successful rival, and leaving him
time to do justice to the Court of Chancery, offers, to our
minds, a very strong proof, that he loves labour for its own
sake, and, as regards his retiring pension, is anxious to do any-
thing to get rid of an over-sensitive feeling that he is putting
the country to charges for nothing.—Dumfries Courier.
There is an instance on record of the exercise of
authority by a Speaker of the House of Commons which we
should suppose without a parellel :—lt is related of Sir Edward
Seymour, when he was Speaker in 1672, that his coach breaking
down at Charing-cross, he ordered the beadles to stop the next
gentleman's they met, and bring it to him. The gentleman
in it was much surprised to be turned out of his own coach,
hut Sir Edward told him it was more proper for him to walk
in the streets than the Speaker of the House of Commons,
and left him to do so without further apology.
There is a clause in the new Beer Act to the effect
that no license for a beer shop will be granted after the .sth
of April, 1836, for any house not rated at la per annum.
This will be the means of closing many of the road-side
concerns.

On learning that there was an idea of calling Mar-
shal Maison to the Presidency of the Council, one of the
Deputies remarked that Louis Philip had already had four
Marshals killed under him.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY!

In the House of Lords last night, the LORD CHAtiell"
Lon laid on the table the first Report of the Established
Church Commissioners. Lord BaouGuam presented a
petition, signed by a majority of the Lower House of As:
sembly, in Canada, complaining of certain exactions and
vexations to which they had been subjected by the Elef
tive GOvernment. The Noble 'and Learned Lord, "I
supported the petition, observed that there were pellet°
conflicts between the two Canadian Houses of
AssemblYt
which of course tended greatly to impede public business!
The Earl of RIPON complained that he had not received
due notice of the presentation of the petition. His Lord'
ship ship denied that any blame was to be attributed to hint, -
respected the differences between the two Houses of A 5;
sembly in Canada, for that when in office, he had (I°Dt
every thing in his power to remove all cause of core Plain
The petition was then laid on the table. The puke
RICHMOND gave notice that on Tuesday be should and
certain returns, relative to the gaols of England le
their government ; also for a Committee of EnquirY t
same subject.
In the House of Commons, the Kinsale Borough El.eci:
tion Petition was discharged for want of sureties, tilblco.
was the case also with the LN nn Regis Petition. Sir .
STRICKLAND presented a Petition for a different sYster°!:
the method of collecting the Assessed Taxes. Mr• To he
renewed his motion for an Address to the KING, that ;
London University be granted the privilege of coafgrrt;
degrees in Medicine and Divinity. In reply to a rt,ues sir
put by Mr. H. GRATTAN, Sir R. PEEL observed Hilt
E. SUGDEN would prefer no claim to the retiring P°sl::
allowed to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Mr. °131.:1
brought forward a motion in favour of the introductl,°'a,
a system of Poor Laws into Ireland ; and in 50 cl°l
in
stated that in Dublin alone, there were 30,000 Pers°°s'.
three-fourths of whose houses there was scarcely an mi7llle,
of furniture. Mr. O'CONNELL opposed the
chiefly on the ground that he should wish to see the Refer,
of the Commissioners before any decisive steps were tt,
Mr. GOULUURN and Sir R. PEEL opposed it for the say;
reason. The motion, after some further discussion,
withdrawn. Mr. HUME moved for an estimate of the e_:,
pense to be incurred for the diplomatic mission to Pty,
which was agreed to. Mr. GLADSTONE obtained Pelbe
sion to bring in a Bill, which was read a first time, {or 35t
better regulating the carriage of passengers in merrlir,
vessels from the United Kingdom to North Anierica,in
D. W. HARVEY postponed his motion on the goes
the Pension List, till the 7thof
