GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Another lengthened debate
took place on Tuesday, respecting what the Non-Intru-
sions call the encroachments of the civil power. A de-
claration signed by 160 members and elders was pre-
sented, in which they prayed the General Assembly to
adopt resolutions setting forth the rights and privileges
of the Church, as secured by the statutes of the realm,
and the manner in which they had been asserted by the
Court of Session, in the cases of Strathbogie, Auchter-
arder, Daviot, and many others. Dr. Chalmers accord-
ingly moved resolutions to that effect, and in a
long rambling speech, adverted to the ignorance
of Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and the English
generally, respecting the condition and privileges of the
Scotch Church; attacked the landed proprietors of East
Lothian and other counties, for excluding the wandering
Non-Intrusionist preachers from the pulpits of the parish
churches; expressed his determination to maintain to the
last the supremacy of the Church, in spite of the deci-
sions of the Court of Session and the House of Lords ;
and foretold in forcible language that unless the Govern-
ment and the law yielded to the claims of the Church,
the country would be thrown into confusion and anarchy.
Dr. Cook moved various resolutions as an amendment,
and contended that the Church, being the first aggressor,
should show signs of repentance by repealing the Veto
Act, which infringes on civil and patrimonial rights,
annul the depositions of the Strathbogie ministers, and
continue, as she had hitherto done, to listen to the objec-
tions of the parish to a candidate, with a view to reject
him if the objections were well-founded. A division took
place at two in the morning, when 241 members voted
for the motion of Dr. Chalmers, and 110 for the amend-
ment of Dr. Cook, giving a majority of 131 for Non-In-
trusion. This, therefore, settles the question as far as
the Assembly is concerned. Sir James Graham stated
last evening, that, as the subject was before the As-
sembly it, would be premature t 9 make any decla-
ration as to the proceedings, or say whether her
Majesty's Government would make themselves re-
sponsible for a measure to heal the divisions in the
Church of Scotland. The Assembly
,has now spoken
out, and the Rigkt Hon. Baronet therefore may try his
hand at healing,measures. Should he succeed in satisfy-
ing both ministers and people, his name would be im-
mortalised in Scotland.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(TIIIS DAY.)
LYME REGIS.
The vote of James Whicker, objected to by the petitioners
on the ground of bribery and treating, was again brought under
the consideration of the Committee this morning. The evi-
dence against this vote was gone into yesterday.
Mr. AUSTIN this morning addressed the Committee in sup-
port of the vote.
Mr. CocKBURN addressed the Committee in reply, but he
was stopped by
The CHAramArr, who informed him that it was almost use-
less for the Learned Counsel to go on, as the Committee were
but of one opinion with respect to the vote.
Mr. Cociumax said he was extremely happy to be so inter-
rupted.
The vote was then ordered to be struck off.

Toulon letters of the 22d, dwell on the frequent
to the lubberaltyatesa
collisions of French ships-of-war wen manoeuvring, attributed
are frequent in management of the crews. "It is remarked
with pain," French Correspondent, "that these acci-
dentsßrit:sh fleet, and it is our navy, and occur so rarely in the
notknknown how to account for it, unless
when
the theory of navigation well,
it be that our officers
but are bad sailors
powerful manoeuvring in a squadron,
and this is a
the just pretension to be
reason for France, who has
first rank, to have permanernt maritime power of the
squadrons at sea, as,
without practice, she will experience great reverses at the be-
ginning of a war. When Admiral Laa nde
in admirable
was recalled from
that period
have rarely
the Levant two years since, his squadron
was
order tor evolutions, and the Ene,lish did
justice, to the skill of
our sailors and to the fine trim of our vesses. Since
all the crews have been changed, and the vessels
left port. The ship of war Ocean, and the :Medea, are severely
damaged by their late collision, and several persons severely
wounded, who have returned to Toulon in the Veloce steamer
with Vice-Admiral Hugonhimself hurt in the head."
CHIMNEY SWEEPING.—A meeting of the principal
master chimney-sweepers of Bristol was held in that eitythis
week on the subject of the Act (3 and 4 Victoria, cap- 2.\which comes into operation on the ensuing lit of July, when it'

with, and recommended their adoption a 3 a benefit to the trade
The meeting also requested the inhabitants of the town to ern:
ploy only those at present in the trade, and to aid in appren-
ticing to other trades, those boys whose indentures will be can-
celled in July, as the Act of the Legislature will then cast them
on the world, unless some provision is made for their future em-
ployment.
