COPYRIGHT BILL.

On the motion that this Bill be read a third time,
Lord CAMPitELL rose to call the attention of their Lord-
ships to the 17th and 23d clauses. The former cause was for
the purpose of giving, a power to Excise officers to examine
books on importation, to prevent piratical ecUtions of wcrks of
authors in this country. If this clause were admitted it ap-
peared to him that the later clause was wholly unadvisable, as
it gave a power to any constable to come into any of their Lord-
shiys' libraries, and if they had a book which they had bought
while travelling on the Continent—
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would save the Noble
and Learned Lord :rouble, and withdraw the clause.

The Bill was then read a third time.
DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY.

Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he should, on Thurs-
day next, present a petition from the deputation from the ma-
nufacturing districts relative to the distress in those districts.
Lord CLANCA RTY presented a petition from a place in
Irelind..again‘t the system of National Education in Ireland.
SALMON FISHaIIES REGULATION (SCOTLAND)
London, England, 1842-06-25

THE SCOTCH CHURCH.

Lord BELHAVEN rose to put the question, of which he had
given notice, to the Noble Lords opposite who constituted part
of her Majesty's Government. He need not now tell their
Lordships that the state of the Church of Scotland was such
as every well-wisher of the country must deplore. That
Church was the one best suited in all respects to the feelings
and habits of the people of that dountry. It was: now in a
state of distraction which was painful to every reflecting mind,
and imperiously called for the interveniiettrof Parliament. The
question which he had to put was, whetheritwas the intention
of her Majesty's Government to take the .sebject into their
serious consideration, with a view to a satisfactory settlement?
The Duke of WELLINGTON, in replying to the question
of the Noble Baron, would confine himselt as much as.passible
to giving a simple answer. Tae Government had had the sub-
ject for a long time under their serious consideration; had endea-
voured to discover the means of settling this important and dis•
tressing question, but they had found that the parties were not
prepared to receive with satisfaction the measure which the
Goverment was disposed to submit to Parliaa,ent. AU the
Members of the Government had the same respect-for the
Church, and the same conviction of the' benefits it had conferred
on the people of Scotland, as the Noble Lord. hiniseif, and of
its being eminently. calculated to benefit the people and
to ensure their happiness. The Government had given and
were giving their utmost attention to the sal j ct, with
.a view of
discovering the means of effecting its satisfactory settlement.
Ti e Duke of RICHMOND, from his connexion with that
part of the empire, concurred in the sentiments of the Noble
Lord who put this question, and lie heartily agreed with him
in saying that a settlement of the existing dispute w.s most
desirable. Tne conduct of the General Assembly, from Whom
a potition was to be presented by a Noble Lord on the Ministe-
rial side of the House, was most extraordinary, and he could
not help saying that he wondered how they could reconcile it
to their consciences to act so harshly as they d,d to clergymen
who had really done nothing to offend them, or to violate the
laws.

Lord 'BROUGHAM thought it would be unbecoming to go
into the question Wore it came fully before the llouse. consi-
dering the proceedings then pending before the Court of
Session.

Lord BELHAVEN thought, if the Government brought
in a measure respecting this subject, it would have the effect of
putting an end to the unfortunate differences which now
existed. When Noble Lords opposite were on his (Lord Bel-
haven's) side of the House they were anxious to legislate upon
this subject.
After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON, the
subject droned.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
tibitt pin to It.

" Who runs may read."

FO~2EI~TiT~

The leading articles of the French Journals are almost
exclusively on the merits of the different candidates for
the approaching elections, and are far too personal in
their nature to afford the slightest gratification to any
reader, no matter of what party, who has not some ink-
rest in the success or failure of the parties whose preten-
sions are supported or condemned. The articles on other
subjects are without novelty or importance.
The Archbishop of Sens, while on a visitation, has
been seized with a malignant fever, and carried back in
a senseless state to his palace. There are hopes, however,
that the attack, which at first appeared to be very serious,
will not be attended ►with disastrous consequences.
A letter from Brest says—" We are informed that the
division under the orders of Admiral Casey is soon to
sail for the channel, where it will exercise, and that it
will afterwards be stationed cif Eu, during the sojourn
of the King at that place."
According to the law of 31st March, 1837, the accu-
mulations of the Savings Banks are deposited in the
Caisse des Depots et Consignations. On 31st December
in that year these funds amounted to 106,000,000 f. At
the close of the last year they amounted to 241,661,552 f.
having in the four years been increased by 135 millions
and a half.
The Sentinelle des Pyrenees states that the municipa-
lity and provincial deputation of Burgos have signed a
protest, declaring that the statement of a disposition
having been manifested by the inhabitants of that city to
revolt, and proclaim the constitution of 1812, was wholly
unfounded.
The Eco del Cononercio of Madrid, of the 14th inst.,
announces that Don Francisco di Paulo has accepted the
command of a battalion of the Malaga militia.
The Augsburg Gazette states that the disturbances at
Perth had ceased. The journeymen tailors who were
arrested had been set at liberty, and the mass of the
rioters had returned to their work.

Mehemet Ali, says a letter from Rome, has written a
letter to the Pope, expressing the utmost delight at re-
ceiving the mosaics which his Holiness sent him, and
addressing him by the titles of " Your Beatitude," and
" Lieutenant of the Caesars." The Pacha promises to
send him the obelisk of Heliopolis.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, April 27.

RATEABILITY OF PRIVATE BOXES IN THEATRES.-
THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF ST. MARTIN'S-

IN-THE-FIELDS.

. In this case the parish officers of St. Martin's-in-the-
Fields had made a rate, in which the Committee and
Proprietors of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane were
rated at 1,800/. for the theatre, and Miss Angola Burdett
Coutts was rated at 100/. for a private box in the said
theatre. Miss Coutts appealed against the rate on the
ground that her private box was included in the general
rate of the theatre, and the Court of Quarter Sessions
quashed the rate, subject to the opinion of this Court on
the case.

Mr. CLARKSON and Mr. BODKIN, who appeared in sup-
port of the order of Sessions, contended that the parish
officers having rated the theatre as a whole, could not
rate a portion of it twice over by rating Miss Coutts for
her private box. She was merely possessed of the privilege
of sitting in a particular part of the theatre, in the same
manner as a person holding a pew in a chapel merely
possessed a right of sitting in a particular part of the
and was not rateable in consequence, the occupier
or possessor of the whole chapel being the only person
liable to be rated. Miss Burdett Coutts was in the posi-
tion of a lodger, who was clearly not rateable.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in support of the rate, COT:-
tended that, under the provisions of the local Act, every
person holding any property, land, house-tenement or
hereditament, within the parish, was liable to.bv rated ;
