LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1832.

Mr. STANLEY'S Bill to facilitate the recovery
of tithes in Ireland, has been printed in its
amended form. The Bill assumes that the ex-
isting laws for the recovery of tithes have been
defeated, and that many of the Clergy have been
reduced to a state of great distress. It then
authorises the Lord-Lieutenant to issue from the
consolidated fund sums not exceeding 60,000/.;
and when compensation has been made to any
petitioning Clergyman for the loss of his tithes
of the preceding year, his right forthwith vests in
the Crown. If, upon proclamation, the pa-
rishioners do not pay the arrear of the year's
tithes to the collector of the Excise of the dis-
trict within one month, the Attorney-General is
authorised to apply to the Court of Chancery or
Exchequer for an order against the defaulter, and
upon which order of Court proceedings arc to be
summary for the recovery of the money. W here the
arrear of tithes is not above ten pounds, the
proceedings are to be before the Assistant Bar-
rister of the county. Notices of proceedings
are to be given to the debtor, ten days before
the Quarter Sessions ; anti in case of his not
pleading, his absence is to be taken pro confesso.
The money recovered is to be paid into the
Exchequer to the credit of the Teller, and to be
kept as a separate account. The Courts are
authorized to make compensation to any person
sued unjustly. These are all the provisions of
the Bill, which can only be considered in con-
nexion with the greater measure of Goveriimem
receiving the whole of the tithes, and paying sti-
pends to the Clergy.

The French Papers of Tuesday relate princi-
pally to some disturbances of the public peace at
Paris. The new system of cleansing the streets
had thrown the former scavengers, or chijimniers,
out of employ, and to the number of 2,000 they
assembled on Sunday and Monday, and com-
mitted several acts of violence. An attempt to
liberate the prisoners from the gaol of St. Pe-
lagic was defeated, but not without the loss of
one life, and the infliction of several wounds

open the rioters. The Carlist party took advan-
tage of these disturbances, and infuriated the
mobs by a distribution of' liquor, and by infiam-
matory speeches that the cholera was an inven-
tion of the Government to blind the people to
political designs against their liberty. The
tumults had been suppressed by the national
guard. Tranquillity has been preserved at
Grenoble and Lyons, but irritation had been
manifested in the provinces at Marshal SouLfs
prcclamation, in which he approved of the con-
duct of the military during the riots at Grenoble.

Brussels Papers mention that Austria having
finally. resolved on ratifying the twenty-four
articles, there is a likelihood of Baron NEW..
MANN being shortly appointed the Austrian
Minister at Brussels. They add, that the Dutch
are bestirring themselves, particularly in the
neighbourhood of Bergen-op-Zoom. The All.
gemeine Zeilung says, that the choice by the
London Conference, of a Sovereign for Greece
has fallen on Prince OTtio, of Bavaria. It is
supposed that the Porte will be perfectly satis-
fied with this choice.

English-
man to reflect. Articles of this description ex-
hibit the dissection and arcana of our pro-
fessions and institutions, for which they de-
serve particular attention, as they are the
elements of history, although historical works
can scarcely go into such minutire. The
generation at present infantine, twenty years
hence will read the incidents of the present
day with incredulity. They may some-
times even feel a conviction of the impossi-
bility that a Government could ever have
perpetrated, or a people submitted to, the cruelty
and injustice to which Tory Administrations
have familiarized our countrymen. We copy
from page 395 of the Metropolitan a sketch of
the promotion of a young lad in the navy over
the heads of veterans whose blood had been
spilt, and lives worn out in the service of their
country. We know not which is the more in-
credible—that human nature could tolerate such
atrocious injuqice, or that Englishmen should
have organized such a system of government, and
have acted upon it without remorse :

" We had eight midshipmen all past the age of thirty,
and all, thanks to weather-beaten countenances, copious
potations, and disappointed hopes, looking at least forty.
When the news flew round the cock-pit that I was pro-
moted, who had only just passed (after six years of ser-
vice,) a loud cry of vengeance was uttered against me. I
TM scoffed at, and reviled, and why ? Because fortune had
favoured me. It is true, that I looked not more than
sixte-n. I am ashamed to own it, but I felt a moment's
gratification when I witnessed the mortification of these
baby-men."

Such has been the character of our Naval Ad-
ministrations, under a party that has claimed an
exclusive inheritance of all the virtue, honour,
patriotism, sanctity, and good feeling in the
kingdom. We fear that the effects of this sys-
tem are not very favourable upon individual
character and disposition. The author utters
no sentiments of execration against such inflic-
tions upon humanity; but he attributes his pro-
motion to fortune, and uses the term baby-men
to time-honoured and scarred warriors, left to
pine away old age in toilsome penury, whilst the
stripling of family and fortune riots in the spoils
of their hard services.
