DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS

.11020 15:

[BRITI3II PRESS.]
• A Petition of a very singular nature was 'pre-
sented last night in the House of Lords, the pur-
port of which was to complain of an extension of
spiritual jurisdiction on the part of the Bishop of
Peterborough., It appears that a Gentleman,
duly qualified for orders, applied some short time
ago to this Reverend Prelate for ordination,•and
produced a certificate from the Archbishop of
Yorli, signifying that he had signed the 39 Ar-
ticles of the Church of England. The Bishop of
Peterborough having satisfied himself upon this
point, offered the candidate 87 questions and an-
swers upon points o► faith for his signature. The
Gentleman, not conceiving that the Bishop. of
Peterborough had a power to frame any addi-
tional articles of faith for the Church of England,
very properly refused to affix his signature to
them, and for this refusal the Bishop declined to
grant him ordination. The matter was last night
submitted to the lions. 9 of Lords, but the Bishop
disclaimed the authority of the House to enter-
tain a question affecting this privilege of the Epis-
copal Bench, and declared that the power of
granting or withholding ordination rested alto-
gether in the discretion of the Bishops. The
House wa's evidently unwilling to press the mat-
ter, and the Petition was not laid on the table.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Mr. Curren brought in, Last night, his Bill
for the repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax. It
was debated at considerable length, and read a
first time, after a division of •1 n for, to 113
against it. Thus has this Bill been carried.
through the first stage against Ministers. Whe-

ther it will be less fortunate in future stages re-
mains to be provtd, as the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer has expressed his determination to take
every opportunity of opposing it. The majority,
in this instance, is larger than that by which, on
the first trial, the repeal of the Malt Tax was
carried—and it was understood - that the repeal
of the Horse Tax is more likely to be ultimately
carried. Lord Milton gave notice, that if this
Bill should pass a second reading, he should
move an instruction to the Committee on it, to
introduce a clause for the repeal of the Wool T ax.

[AIOIINI.NG POST.]

We regret to say the Bill (orrepressing Crue

.y to Animals, brought in by Mr.R. Martin, was

lost on the second reading. The numbers' Were
equal,. but. the Speaker, acting from precedent,
gave the•casting vote in favour of an amendment

for reading the ninon that day six months. This
failure however can only be temporary, provided
Mr. Martin perseveres in his laudable efforts.
Let him not be dismayed, under such encourag-
ing circumstances, from the consideration of Lord
Erskine not having been able to succeed in the
same cause; for it was well ascertained at the

time, that had his Lw dship brought in his Bill
again, it would have been carried. We hope and
trust that the lion. Gentleman will renew his
application to Parliament next Session ; in which
case we have every reason to be persuaded, his
humane exertions will not fail to be crowned
with success. iVe have at present no room to
enlarge upon this subject ; and shall therefore
contea►t ourselves with merely observing, that as
God intended animals for il►e use and not the
abuse of man, cruelty towards them ought not to
be permitted in a civilized land.

[NEW TIMES.]

Every day the Constitutional Association be-
comes more firmly established, and shows itself
more unassailable. Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, in a
letter to a Morning Paper of yesterday, express-
ly disclaimed all intention to apply for warrants
against any of the Members. Mr. John Cam
flobhouse presented to the House of Commons
a petition of King, the Pamphlet Vender, against
the Society, but neither the Petitioner nor the
