The first Parli.l:.-lentary division since the new
arrangement of the Administration, took place
last night in the House of Lords, on the motion
for referring the Corn Bill to a Committee,
when the numbers for the motion were 120 ;
against it 63—leaving a majority for Ministers
of 57. When it is considered that amazing
efforts have been made to procure the defeat of
this bill, and that the main strength of the new
Opposition lies in the Upper House, this majo-
rity may be considered as decisive of the stabi-
lity of the new Government. In the Commons,
Sir T. Lethbridge played his old part of Ques_
tionist, and Mr. Dawson played the new part of
a reformer of abuses, and an advocate of rigid
economy.— Times.
Lord Charles Somerset, and his crutch, Lord
Bathurst—the latter now happily at length inca-
pable of supporting, by the much-abused means
and appliances of office, the ignoble weight
which pressed upon him, have left us one more
item to add to the list of their crimes against the
honour of the King's Government, and the free-
dom and welfare of his colonial subjects. We had
hoped, until the documents on this point were
submitted to us, that the political portraits of both
the above personages had been actually finish-
ed—that the • likeness, being complete and
decked out with all necessary adjuncts,—no
new incident or decoration remained, on which
the pencil of history could find room any further
to expatiate ; and that since little time need be
lost in varnishing over the canvass of a defunct
Minister, both one and the other of these illus-
trious but no longer puissant effigies, were
ready to be hung up, for the vulgar eye to de-
vour, or that of taste to turn from with acute and
contemptuous loathing. 'We were mistaken in
this comfortable hope. It appears from the
papers which we publish, that even after Lord
Charles Somerset's arrival in England, to an-
swer for his old transgressions, he contrived to
furnish matter for fresh and not trivial charge,
—that, " lifting his crutch," he had still power
to strike a revengeful blow at his most dreaded
enemy, the organ of public feeling and principle
at the Cape. He made, it appears, a represen-
tation to Lord Bathurst, that certain statements
which had been copied from the Times and
other English newspapers into Mr. Greig's
South African Commercial Advertiser, at
Cape-town, " were of a false and calumnious
nature ;" and therefore, what (lid the honest and
public-spirited, the just and humane Lord
Bathurst ? Did he, conjointly with Lord Charles
Somerset, attack the English journals which con-
tained the " false and calumnious" accusations ?
Did either or both these bright samples of
nobility dare to contradict the criminatory state-
ments, or bring them under discussion here ? No ;
they knew something of the English press. They
" durst as well face the devil." They went to
work in a more Lord Charles-like manner. Lord
Bathurst, who had never so far listened to the col-
lective and reiterated complaints of the whole co-
lonial population of South Africa, as to take any one
active step for the redress of their known griev-
ances, or the condign punishment of their hated op-
pressor,—this Lord Bathurst took for granted at
once, the bare assurance of the man thus loaded
with obloquy, for the falsehood of charges on which
he ought to have been tried, not trusted; and sent
out -.n order to the Lieutenant-Governor of the
Cape to cancel the licence of Mr. Greig, the editor,
and extinguish the only efficient channel through
which intelligence of any value to men's rights or
interests could find its way throughout society.
This was a base, back-handed blow, not struck until
more than ten months after the alleged offence had
been given,—levelled at the best enjoyments of the
community—at public opinion, at political independ-
ence, at individual prosperity, property, and honour.
The day of trial, we persuade ourselves, approaches,
and the late Colonial-office, as well as its favourite
minions, will have to answer before " God and the
" country.”—lbid.

A very numerous Meeting took place yes-
terday, at the Freemasons Tavern, of the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in
Forn;gii Parts ; the Archbishop of Canterbury
in the Chair. i lie object of the Society is to
diffuse the doctrines and discipline of the Esta-
blished Church of England, and the appeal to
the public for aid will no doubt be met with
corresponding liberality. With respect to the
merits of the Society abundant information will
be found in the account of the Report, and of
the various speeches at the Meeting. As the
Meeting was exclusively composed of Members
of the Established Church, no exception can be
taken by the members of other persuasions at
what fell from the Bishop of London, who ob-
served, that " they had to thank Almighty God
that ever since the Reformation the doctrines of
the Primitive Church had been revived in this
country, and uniformity of discipline was neces-
sary to preserve Christianity in its purity. When
every individual Minister was left to act without
any human responsibility, there was no security
either for sound doctrine or right conduct. But
this Society, by preserving the unity of doctrine
and of discipline, had made the Church in those
regions (America) like a city set on a bill that
could not be hid." As far as we can learn, this
Anglican-Episcopal Church is, at this day, the
greatest favourite in the United States; but we fear
we should give no small offence to the Bishop of
London were we to hint at the cause of its great
and growing popularity ; though, " as a city set on
a hill cannot be bid," it is probable that his Lord-
ship is himself possessed of the requisite informa-
tion on this subject. But what fell from one of the
speakers, Dr. Philpots, is deserving of some re-
mark. Speaking of the duties of the Govern-
ment of this country, as connected with the reli-
gious instruction of the Colonies, " he regretted
to say that, even in the reign of William 111.,
the Government of the country had abandoned
its duties in this respect. It had evinced what
he might call a criminal neglect of duty, by
leaving the Colonies without any established re-
ligious instruction. He had an abstract of the
Charter, constituting this Corporation, in his
possession, and it proceeded on the narrative
that the North American Colonies were then
without any established ordinances of religion.
He hoped the Government would now at least
feel itself bound to provide a proper religious
Establishment for the old colonists, as well as
for those who had lately and were now about to
emigrate. This was a most sacred obligation,
from which the Government ought not to flinch;
and it would have been better if former Arch-
bishops and Bishops had, instead of calling for
a Charter, insisted that the Government should

Even in point of temporal policy, it would have
beta wise in the Government to have formed an
Establishment in unison with the English Church
among their emigrated Colonies: A more
acute man than Dr. Philpots—Burke—has ob-
served, " The Turk cannot govern Egypt, and
Arabia, and Curdistan, as he governs Thrace ;
nor has he the same dominion in the Crimea and
Algiers, which he has at Brusa and Smyrna.
Despotism itself is obliged to truck and huck-
ster. The Sultan gets such obedience as he
can. He governs with a loose rein, that he
way govern at all ; and the whole of the
force and vigour of his authority in his centre
is derived from a prudent relaxation in all
his borders. Spain, in her provinces, is per-
haps not so well obeyed as you (England)
are in yours. She complies too ; she sub-
mits ; she watches time. This is the immuta-
ble condition, the eternal law, of extensive and
detached empire." It is very easy for Dr. Phil-
pots to talk of the obligation of Government to
establish the English Episcopal Church in Ame-
rica ; impossibilities cost this worthy zealot no-
thing. Would the Colonists have submitted to
the establishment ? The settlement of New Eng-
land—to which it is owing that all our Colo-
nists in America are not such savages as the
Spaniards in America are at this day, and will
continue,, we fear, for centuries to come—was
founded by a congregation of English Puritans,
who could not endure the licentiousness of Eng-
land, and removed with Mr. R obinson, their
pastor, to Holland ; but finding that the Dutch,
though possessed of the Calvinistic doctrine and
discipline, allowed barbers to shave, and the
common people to amuse themselves with games
on the Lord's day, they, after a time, removed
from Holland to England, with a view to pass
from thence to the wilds of America. These
devoted and determined people, unable to brook
the relaxation of Europe, and hating Bishops as
cordially as they hated the Pope, landed in a
wilderness at the setting in of a dreary winter,
during which a number of them perished. The
survivors, however, made good their ground ;
and being men actuated by religious enthusiasm,
and being joined only by persons of the same
cast, their first object was the preservation of
their religion in its purity: whence they did not,
like emigrants in other parts of America, spread
themselves over the country, thereby losing their
civilization, but settled township after township,
providing regularly for religious worship and
education. Who but a Dr. Philpots would have
thought of the possibility of cramming an esta-
blishment on men like these, who, in detestation
of their own at home, preferred a North American
wilderness and a North American winter, without
means to defend themselves against its severity ?
But stout-hearted would have been the clergyman
who should have endeavoured to disturb them ; for
if they had more than a due share of the religion of
that day, they had also more than a due share of
its intolerance ; and the manner in which they
slaughtered the Quakers and other Heretics who
set foot among them, was a lesson which Church
of England Clergymen would hardly neglect. If
Dr. Philpots' nonsense had regard to the past only,
we should not have thought of noticing it. But
unfortunately, our remaining North American Co-
lonies, in which the members of the Anglican
Church hardly form one-hundreth part of the popu-
lation, are now in a state of ferment on account of
this very idea of establishing the English Church
among them. Out of the whole of the Legislature
of Upper Canada, there are but two Churchmen.
If the counsels of such zealots as Dr. Philpots were i
to be followed, the most deplorable consequences
would follow. Men of all parties who have visited
that fine Colony argue that its prosperity has been
immensely retarded by the reserving land for the
Church,- with a view to an establishment. We
grant that if the people of England consent to be
taxed for Clergymen for our Colonies, that then we
can have an establishment in them; but who would
dare to recommend this ? We were glad to sec that
the intemperance of Dr. Philpots was rebuked by
t'ie Heads of the Church. He knows, too, as little
of the history of the United States as he seems to
know of other matters, when he asserts " that in
the revolted Provinces, almost all those who had be-
longed to the Episcopal Church adhered to the cause
of England." Dr. Ramsay, (and all the anthori-
ties concur with him) the attachment of the
Episcopalians to England to the Northern Pro-
vinces, where the population were almost exclu-
sively Presbyterians and Independents. " Most of
the Episcopal Ministers of the Northern Pro-
vinces were pensioners on the bounty of the British
Government (being without adequate congregations.)
The greatest part of their Clergy, and many of their
laity, in those provinces, were therefore disposed to
support a connection with Great Britain. The
Episcopalian Clergy in the Southern Provinces, be-
ing under no such bias, were often among the
warmest Whigs. Some of them foreseeing the
downfall of religious establishments, from the suc-
cess of the Americans, were less active ; but in ge-
neral, where their Church was able to support it-
self, their Clergy and laity zealously espoused the
cause of independence. Great pains were taken to
persuade them, that those who had been called Dis-
senters, were aiming to abolish the Episcopal
Establishment, to make way for their own exalta-
tion ; but the good sense of the people restrained
them from giving any credit to the unfounded sug-
tion. Religious controversy was happily kept out
of view. The well-informed of all denominations
were convinced that the contest was for their civil
rights, and, therefore, di d n et suffer any other considera-
tions to interfere or disturb their union." Of all the
religious bodies, the only one, almost exclusively
with England, was that of the Quakers ; and in
Pensylvania they were numerous, and had power in
their hands. Yet a man like this Dr. Philpots, whom
any schoolboy could convict of ignorance, contrives,
by dint of a certain quality, which we shall not
name, to thrust himself forward as a stay of the
Church, and the antagonist of distinguished States-
men !—Morning Chronicle.
No man of the world, possessed of however
moderate a share of common sense and right
feeling, can, we should imagine, have read at-
tentively the statement put forth by Wakefield,
in the shape of an appeal to the House of Lords,
as it appeared in our Paper of yesterday, and
not come to this conclusion—viz. that it rot
only fails in offering the smallest shadow of pre-
tence towards attaining the object the writer pro-
fesses to have in view, but throughout amply and
indisputably confirms the guilt of the writer, the
justice of his sentence, and the imperative call
there is upon the Legislature to defeat the evi-
dently still remaining objects and artifices of
such a man. We would say nothing of the taste
or the conscience of a man, who can put forth
such a statement as this, relative to a youth-
ful female seduced to err (if she has erred at all)
by the insidiousness of an artful and accomplish-
