TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1329.

The Bishop of -BATH and WELLS, in the course of
speech Arbich he delivered last night in the House
f L ords, indulged in some very superfluous and
ntenable observations on the subject of the Catholic
tiestion. After an episcopal flourish or two re-
pecting the " glorious Revolution," his Lordship
rent on to remark that the people of England were
religious people, and that therefore—mark the
!quiturq—they were averse to grant power to the
':atholics. We know not where the Reverend
'Pecker learned his logic, hut, judging from the
resent specimen, we should surmise that he
'4l graduated at Oxford. To attempt to infer
he religious feelings of a nation from the fact
its intolerance; to set forth bigotry and uncha-
itableness as the true foundation of Christianity ;
elms to us—notwithstanding our respect for the
teyerend Speaker—to resemble, in more points
hall one, SWIFT'S brilliant plan for producing sun-
eares from cucumbers. True religion—that un-
mpeachahle religion which the Apostles preached,
nd our Sotoun died to defend—is, in our view of
he ea", grounded on the principle of universal
haritY• It has its root in benevolence, and is
istured on the genial soil of freedom. We
snnot recognize its spirit in a system of intole-
snce, which would shut out millions from the pri-
ileges of the Constitution, and keep them in that
vorst of slavery—the slavery of the mind—simply
ram a selfish apprehension that at some distant pe-
iod or other they might meddle with the tempo-
'slities of the Protestant Church. We cannot, we
'ePeo, recognize true religion in such a worldly sys-
e4), but imagine ourselves transported back to that
epoch in the middle ages, when the sole test of
PletY consisted in getting together some dull
narrow-minded creeds, changed from time to time, as
suited
the caprice of the ruling ecclesiastic powers,
Ind
believing that beyond their pale there lay no
h
°Pe of salvation. The days however—and we
4nrt°t, impress this truth too often, or too forcibly,
On the public mind—the days of such reverend ab-
surdity are over. The improved intellect of the age
demands an equal improvement in religion, which
must either walk side by side with it, or be at once
trodden down and annihilated.

This day the Judges, Sir JAMES ALLAN PARE, and Sir
JAMES PARKA, arrived here at half•past four, and opened
the Commission, after which the Learned Judges attended
Divine service in the adjoining church.
SuNDAY, MARCH I.—We have seen the calendar, which
is unusually light ; there are 21 prisoners for trial, but
none of the cases are of any interest, being all of a local
nature. On the civil side there are but few causes entered
fur trial, and but two for Special Juries.
MONDAY, MARCH 2.—This day the Learned Judges
both entered the Court at half past ten o'clock, and after
the charge had been delivered to the Grand Jury, Mr. Jus-
tice PARK pi oceeded into the Civil Court, where some
causes baring been tried of no general interest, the follow-
ing case was called on,
