LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1845.

In the Ilonset of Lords last night, on the motion
of the,,gdarl of SIIAITESBURT, it was agreed that
no petitions for private Bills should be received
after the sth of April, and that no report of the
judges on such Bills should be received after the
sth of June.

Tha LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice of his inten-
ti >n to introduce a Bill on the subject of Charitable
Trusts.

After the Marquis of NORMAN BY had drawn
theiirtardiships' attention to the hasty manner in
wili°lllllpa, were hurried through at the close of a
omission, .

Lord.l3iibunnam rose to present a petition, com-
plaining of the delays which took place in the Court
of Bankruptcy, in consequence of the non-attend-
ance .of the Commissioners. A short conversation
ensue], and ultimvely Lord BROUGHAM handed
the ,petition to the LORD CHANCELLOR in order
that an inquiry 'night be instituted so as to give
the Commissioners an opportunity of offering some
explanation.

Their Lordships then adjourned until Thursday.
Tte House of Commons met at a Quarter before
Font. o'clock, and Sir T. FREMANTLE took the oaths
and his seat for Buckingham.
After the presentation of various petitions, the
Railways Bills Committee of Inquiry was appointed,
on the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET.

.:;Among the notices of motion given was or.e by Mr,
`WALLACE for the ..sth inst., on the subject of the
Court of Ses:•ion in Scotland, and one by Mr. ROE-
BUCK on the subject of the Acts passed by the Cana-
"dim Legislature.
_.-$ll7 J. GB.uAM promised to lay the returns which
had been moved fa on the subject of the Ecclesiastical
Commission, on the table of the House before Easter.
The Right Hun. Baronet alto stated, in answer to j

Lord DALMENY, that he thought he should introduce
some measure on the subject of the Scottish Poor-
law during the course of the present session.

Mr. WALLACE then rose Co submit to the House
the motion of which he had given notice on the sub-
ject of railways. He objected to the Railway Com-
mittee of the Board of Trade as an unconstitutional
body, but at the same time said that he had no
objection to make personally to any member of
that Board. He complained that, by their proceed-
ings, they were discouraging competition, and de-
priving the people of a free trade in railways,
without which they must virtually become the slaves
of the railway companies. In allusion to the Rail-
way Committee which had been appointed in 1844,
he said it was a one-sided Committee, consisting prin-
cipally of persons connected with existing railways,
and that its reports were received with distrust. Ile
attributed all the speculation and gambling which had
arisen, to the publication of the Committee of the
Board of Trade of their awards in the Gazette.
The Hon. Gentleman then animadverted on the high
rate of fares charged on English railways for third-
class passengers, and on the inconvenient times at
which the third-class trains started ; while, in Scot-
land, in consequence of the railways being exposed
more to competition, the poorer classes were better
accommodated, and at a cheaper rate. He was op-
posed to railway amalgamation, as it was against the
interests of the public ; but he was in favour of rail-
way competition, in order to support which he
proposed that companies should be required to give in
tenders of the cheapest rate of conveyance. Railways,
he contended, were public property, and therefore
ought to command the attention of the Legislature.
He proposed that, with a view to ascertain correctly
the statistics of railway travelling, a set of experi-
mental carriages should be worked by the Post-office ;
and concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill,
repealing the Railway Act of last session.
Mr. EWART seconded the motion, but doubted the
policy of calling upon the Government to take tenders
for the formation of different lines from different
companies. He thought that the Government ought
to abstain from all interference in the matter, and
proposed that a board of scientific men should be
appointed to advise Committees of the House on such
matters as might be submitted to them by those Corn •
mittees. .

Lord HOWICK contended that, under existing cir-
cumstances, it would be impossible to constitute an
impartial tribunal to adjudicate upon the claims of
competing lines of railway, and proposed, as a remedy,
the adoption of the plan acted on in France and other
Continental countries, while, in order to do justice to
the projectors of lines of railway, he thought that
Parliament might fairly call upon the parties to whom
the line should be conceded to make them a proper
remuneration. The Noble Lord concluded by urging
on the House the necessity of adopting some measure
on the subject, or it would be utterly impossible for
them to get through the 248 Railway Bills which
were to be submitted to their consideration this

bring in a Bill to amend the law of settlement.
During the recess he had received many communica-
tions on the subject of the measure which he had pro-
posed last year, all of which he had attentively con •
sidered. There were many parts of the measure to
which no objection had been made. Those parts he
proposed to retain. Great objections had been made
to giving the Act a retrospective effect ; and he there-
fore proposed that its operation should be prospective
only, and he was also disposed to give up the birth
settlement, and the five years' industrial residence,
but he intended to abide by the ether limitations
which he had introduced into the measure. He also
proposed to substitute union settlements tor parochial
settlements, and would allow a sufficient time to
elapse before the second reading of the Bill to enable
the country well to consider this important alteration.
After a short discussion, in which Colonel WOOD,
Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. BROTHERTON, and Mr. B. DENISON
took part, leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Lord EBRINGTON moved for leave to bring in a
Bill to limit the exemption from turnpike toll of car-
riages carrying her MAJESTY'S mail,.
The motion, which was opposed by the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER, was negatived without a division,
and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock.

Two petitions relative to Puseyism were presented
to the House of Commons on Monday by Lord
EBRINGTON, and we hope they will be followed by
many thousands, for it is evident the Protestants of
this country can now look only to the Legislature for
a redress of grievances. One of the petitions was
from a clergyman, the Rector of Stoke Climsland, in
that happy diocese over which Bishop PHILLPOTTS
presides. That gentleman complains that he is placed
in a situation of the greatest difficulty ; that he has
received three pastoral letters from the Bishop, which
were of very uncertain and different import, and he
was, therefore, at a loss to know how he should per-
form his sacred functions with safety or satisfaction,
for if he departed from the Rubric he was liable to
heavy penalties, and if he strictly adhered to
the Book of Common Prayer, and the canons
of the Church, he would cause great discontent
among his parishioners He, therefore, prayed that
the House would take the subject into their serious
consideration, and repeal the Acts of EDWARD VI. and
ELIZABETH, relative to the ceremonies of the Church,
and adopt others which might remove the present
difficulties and avert the dangers with which the Esta-
blishment was threatened. The other petition was
from laymen, deprecwing the attempt of the Bishop
and certain clergy to revise obsolete forms and cere-
monies, which had excited discord and alienation in a
Christian community where there should be only
harmony and peace. They also prayed that the
House would take the subject into consideration, and
grant redress. These, we believe, are the first peti-
tions presented on this painful subject, but, owing
to the recognised practice of the Commons, no remarks
were made. It does not appear that Sir R. PEEL
was present, and possibly Mr. GOULBURN did riot
consider . himself qualified to give even a hint
as to the course which should be adopted. Lord
EBRINGTON, however, has an easy way to bring the
question forward in a tangible shape. He will be en-
trusted with other petitions, and probably has them
in his possession. Let him, therefore, give notice of
their presentation, and at the same time state his
intention of calling the attention of the Legislature
to one of the most wanton attacks on Protestantistn
ever made since the Reformation. There is a noble
field for his exertions—he will be cheered on by the
ivhole lay community, and perform the most essen-
tial service to the cause of freedom as well as pure
religion. The present state of the Church is full of
anomalies ; it is not suited to the age. The doctrines
of the Catholic Church are dominant at Oxford, and
rapidly extending through every diocese; the tnajo-
rity of the Bishops have their faces towards Rome,
and wolves in sheep's clothing have in broad day en-
tered the fold. Can the Legislature stand by idle
while the Church established by law has not only
deserted its most sacred functions, but adopted tenets
which are in direct opposition to those of the religion
which its members profess ? The time has fully ar-
rived when the strong arm of the law must restrain
the mischievous vagaries of PUILLPOTTS and BLOM-.
FIELD.

The ludicrous divisions which took place in the
French Chamber of Deputies last week form the
principal topics of remark in the Paris journals.
Those of the Opposition in one respect rejoice at the
anomalous state of the Chamber, while they express
regret that a measure of great importance in com-
,
mercial affairs, aS Weil the 'relation of'prlvate
life—the reduction of the postage •on letters—has
been ''unneeessarily delayed for twelve months. If
the Chamber, had, evinced more charaCter, and the
,concealed-rotes by ballot had not belied those given
openly; great "boon -would have been conferred on
the community, with.little or. probably no.loss :to the
'revenue. These journals, however, •t;,lke advantage
of the " circumstance ',to, run down the Ministry, by,
showing that 'M. GUIZOT has no 'longer sufficient
manage the 'rein§ of Government; and that in
fact the .Chamber 'is like a ship at sea without a.
rudder. •The.Courrier Francais draws the follovving
picture of its: helpit.sS The Chamber, of
Deputies has advanced -to the state of abstaining-
from giving a 'decision. Until Saturday either-side:
had, at least.a.rnajerity of one,, and the decisions were

valid. Men of serious reflection are afflicted at this
decadence of the ' GOvinmrnent. • here is, in 'fact,
neither Chamber nor Ministry—no will, no impulse.

The Ministry is dead, and the Chamber has abdicated
on its coffin. The most important decisions, the
most useful reforms, are at. the mercy of a vote.
Every result is left to chance. Let a Deputy hasten
or delay his attendance, and the decision is changed.
A breakfast prolonged, or a cabriolet too slowly
driven, become the arbiters of our destiny. What is
an Utopia at three o'clock, would be law at a quarter
past three; Would it not be more simple to toss,
and to make hazard the legislator ?" The Constitution-
net regards the functions of the Chamber, as well as the
Ministry as utterly useless to the country. " We have
before our eyes." it says, " the following political
maxim :—When the majority becomes too feeble on,
political questions, it is null on every other question
and there is no longer a Government." And it says
else where—" The continuation of doubtful majorities
in the Chamber of Deputies on every question sub-
mitted to its consideration, is not the effect of chance.
It is evident that every time the Minister does not
bring into play all the secret springs of Government,
and every time that he does not use a certain force, the
indifferent, the persons having pressing affairs to
attend to, the invalids, and, in fact, the majority,
desert him." Even the Journal des Debats attacks the
Chamber for its want of boldness and contrasts its timid
; and niggardly policy with the lofty and daring principles
avowed and acted upon by the House of Commons.
"The Postal Reform Bill," it says, "has been lost in
the Chamber of Deputies. It wanted but a single
vote in order to have been successful. We foresaw
such a result without believing it, and we regret sin-
cerely that we were right. Thus, a legislation which
every one admits to be contrary to the fundamental
principle of equality in taxation, will continue a tax
•universally admitted to be injurious to commerce.
and to the development of social intercourse. The
Chamber of Deputies has so willed it. Thus
we are in France—the most timid men in the
world in making useful changes, the most hardy
and the most rash in vain and danger( us inno-
vations. We are all fire for revolutions, and all
ice for good and wise reforms. It is not so that
our neighbours, the English, proceed, and they are
not the worse for it. What boldness and what reso-
lution is there in their conceptions of political economy,
They diminish the postage on letters in the proportion
of nine to one, and at the same moment they draw
from their coffers .500,000,000 to indemnify the pro-
prietors of slaves in their colonies. We discuss during
long years the expediency of emancipation of postal
reform and of other subjects more or less worthy of
interest. We make good speeches, we compose better
books, but when it becomes necessary to carry any,
of those measures into effect, our heart fails us."

The Rochester and Gravesend Railway was opened
on Monday with the usual formalities, and, notwithstanding
the interwe severity of the weather, a considerable number of
passengers passed up and down during the day, whilst the
lookers-on mustered in strong force at the various points of
the line where the train was visible.

Competition is at all times allowable, no doubt, but there
should also be fairness with it, even in 'railway matters, where
so little attention is paid to that requisite. There are two
lines'propokd to the Belgian Government to connect the
Sambre and 'Meuse, the Central and' the Western, and the
former appears, or is stated tcrbe approved by a ma-
jority of the Chambers. Within the laSt few days; however,
there hafe been various atteinpts to depreciate, in the estima-
tion of 'the public, the plan of the Central line,
and without pretending to faVour one or the other
of the projects, it must be stated that the means resorted to
by the WeStern Company to accomplish their object are far
from creditable. The list of intended shareholders in the
Central line has been calumniously Misrepresented, highly
respectable parties being described as " unknown," &c. The
Directors of the Central line had an interview yesterday with
the' Belgian Ambassador, which was understood to be of a
very satisfactory character.
The wellAnown firm of Keeling and Hunt have issued a
very good circular on the state of the provision trade, in
which they correctly infer that the large amount of money
likely to be put in circulation by the the construction of new
railways will have an important effect 'on the consumption of
various articles, especially should these be relieved by a
reduction of duties. The duty on the lowest description of
cheese is now 100 per cent., and on the finer kinds of butter
and cheese only 20 to 30 per cent.—a -,manifest injustice to
the poorer classes. Were it nor for the weekly sup-
plies of `Dutch, it is stated by Messrs. K. and H., that
the -f price of English fresh butter in the London market
would in all probability be 2s. 6d. per lb. Even during the
last six months there has been a detided advance, viz., from
7d. to 9d. and 10d. per lb. It is considered that a duty of 10s.
per cwt. would more than double the consumption, and keep
the English market permanently steady, for it is reckoned that
the decrease in the consumption'of &utter, cheese, and bacon
in the agricultural counties has amounted during the past 20
years to 50s. and 755. per cent., while there has been an increase
in the consumption in the manufacturing districts. Butter
would evidently be an important auxiliary to the oonsump-
tion of coffee, &c. •
