HOUSE OF COMMONS.

At four o'clock the Smarts counted the Members, and but
thirty-eight being present, the House was adjourned.

HIGHGATE CHAPEL BILL.

The above Bill is a remarkable instance of the con-
trivances which are so frequently practised, and are
but too often successful, in diverting the funds of cha-
ritable endowments, particularly of those connected
with education, to purposes never contemplated tly
the donor.

In the present. case, the attempt to subvert, or at
least, impoverish an ancient and benevolent institu-
tion, founded for the purpose of liberal instruction,
and called, THE FEES GRAMMAR SCHOOL OF SIR
ROGER CIIOLMLEY, at Highgate, comes from the
1 rustees themselves; whose first and solemn duty it
was to defend the title against all adverse claimants,
and to carry into effect the intention of the donor, as
the condition on which the trust was bestowed, and
the pledge which they gave by the act of its acceptance.
The promoters of the Bill are named the Wardens
and Governors of the above.mentioned school, and
they propose to deprive the charity of a considerable
p:trt of Its revenues for the purpose of building a
Chapel, and of constituting the village at Highgate
, add its vicinity a district chapelry or parish. I'he
funds, which amount to nearly £lOOO per annum, are
to be distributed, not according to the express inten-
tion of the charter or the deeds of endowment, but in
such manner as the Trustees for the time being ara
pleased to appoint; and it has been their anxious care
in the framing of the Bill, to defeat, as far as they
could, the express provisions of the letters patent of
Queen Elizabeth, and the letter and shit it of the grant
made by the Bishop of London and Sir Roger Choltn-

a se appropriation of the funds, which, as negates,
they have no more right to convert to uses different
from those specified in the deed which invests them
with that character, than ►_hey have to make an assign-
ment of them to a stranger, or to apply them to their
own privateemolu meta. Dtit as such an intention could
not be effected without a legal decision, or the ac-
quiescence of the Legislature, the Dill was founded on
an assumption that a grant made in the year 1565,
by the then Bishop of London to Sir Roger Cholm-
ley is void.
lf, indeed, the invalidity of the title were, as is
stated on the shewing of the Trustees themselves, the
only means of opening the settlement of the funds
o•f the charity to a new appropriation, it would be
naturally supposed that, as honest and conscientious
men, anxious to discharge the duties of their trust,
they would endeavour to ascertain the real state of
the title by the only competent authority—the Court
of Chancery. But, on the contrary, how do they
act? When an information in Chancery is signed
by his Majesty's Attorney-General, and filed for the
purpose of ascertaining the title, the Trustees shrink
from the equitable investigation of the rig/it, and actu-
ally i::trocitice a Bill into Parliament founded upon
the assumption of a defective title, while their whole
conduct proves that they fear nothing so much .as
that the said title will be too well established in Chan-
cery ; as, instead of putting in their answers in Chan-
cery, they have taken advantage of the forms of the
Court to obtain a motith's delay from the 4th inst.
which they hope will carry them over the Session,
while, in the meantime, they hurry on a Bill in Par-
liament, in order that the legislative proceeding which
assumes the title may interfere to prevent the equi-
table decision which would prove that title unimpeach-
able! Should this attempt succeed, the consequence
would be, that there is not a charitable institution in
the country, however ancient or respectable, which
Would not be rendered precarious.
As to the funds being ?Mended for the erection of
a Chapel, it is nothing at all to the question. And
if this were to be diverted to the purpose of erecting
Assembly Rooms, the principle would be the tame.—
Once allow the maxim of law to be violated, and the
application of the abused property will be as various
as the interests or caprices of its disturbers. The
rectitude of the application cannot be separate from
the legality of the principle. A Chapel is a good
thing in itself, but when founded on the disturbance
of charity—on the subversion of a just title—on the
_contempt of legal principles—and the establishment
of a mischievous and dangerous precedent, it is a
• destruction of the rights of society for purposes of
Church emolument, which, however sanctified in its
pretext, cannot but be execrable in its real object ;
for that can never be auspiciously. dedicated to Gov
which is the spoil of the Public and the testimony
of injustice

We are without any later intelligence from Madrid
than that given in the STAR of yesterday; but one of
the French Papers (The Constitutionnel) of Sunday,
after giving an account of those events, as detailed
in the Spanish Papers, states, on the authority of a
private letter, that besides the Duke de L'INFANTADO,
120 persons, who were chiefs of the conspiracy, have
been arrested, and that all the projects fur carrying
on the counter-revolution will immediately he brought
to light. Indeed, it is more than probable that an
Extraordinary Cortes will be immediately convoked,
for the very purpose of probing the whole conspiracy.
of which the mutiny of the Guards is but a branch,
to the bottom. Such a step is a momentous One,
inasmuch as it will probably he proved that the King
of SPAIN and the agents of France have secretly
countenanced, if not -actually excited, all the conspi-
racies that have agitated Spain for the last two years.l
The conduct of the French Government, in sanction-
ing the most inflammatory libels against Spain in
the Paris Journals, the formation of a large army en
the frontiers without any alleged motive to justify it,'
and the protection given to every insurgent Spa-
niard, are all proofs of the connivance of the French
Government in the ultra-royal plots in Spain.—
With regard to FERDINAND, the evidence is, per-
haps, scarcely less conclusive. His former. vonduct.
on his restoration, necessarily subjects him to sus-
picion ; and although, in 1820, he solemnly swore to

, that it *as not against Aim that the Guards
revolted, as if separating his interest from that of a
9cverament founded on a Constitution which he had
sworn to defend; the relbctance with which he con..
ranted to the rebel guards being disarmed ; and his
want of confidence in the Ministers and in the Cotter,
are all proofs that the Km) seeks to throw off ti:e
restraints of a limited authority, and to be the .. abs,

It has been said by some Journalists, both French
and English, that FLRDINAND is a prisoner. It to
prevent his escaping to France or to Catalonia to
head a new conspiracy against his count y be
prisonment, we doubt not but he is a prisoner. Tht
situation of Spain is critical ; the Priests, stripped a
a portion of their immense revenues, cann“ easily
forgive the Government that has done such an vv.
of political justice; end in a country where hig,try
so long predominated utrzbecked, the Priests still re.
tarn some influence. This they never cea eto exert,
not only by secretly exciting conspiracy, hut by not
unfrequently heading bands of Insurgents. Should
FERDINAND once escal e and fall into the lrailds of
these, he would be made the pi ctext for waging a
civil war, which, though it would ter mir.ate in
driving him for ever from the Throne, rnrght deluge
Spain in blood. It therefore behoves the Govern met
of Spain, and the Cortes in the ssisdom of
councils we have great confidence, to act temperate:y
but firmly—to trace these various acts of insubordi.

power they possess with a strong arm in crushing r:1-
surrection wherever it appears, and to demand from
France some explanation of her recent conduct.
We wait with much anxiety for the next AI TiVa:i

spirit in the capital, and what influence the nani::y
there has had in the provinces, where it was Derr
likely to give new hopes to the insuri,ents who :ire

FROM THE MADRID PAPERS.

" ;AIADRID, JULY 8.

" All is finished : the small party of Guards who es:, pr,! in
the night of yesterday presented themselves, and prayrd tor rar.
don ; all the rest have perished. Several waggons, loaded w:th
wounded soldiers, have this day entered the town. At ft-a
o'clock in the morning, the Auxiliary Bishop of Madrid said
Mass in the balcony of the great square, in presence of the Ns.
Clonal Militia and the garrison, to whom he afterwards gave :h:
benediction. ATs Dern& was sung. This; ceremony attrii;:eil
an immense concourse of spectators.
" The Palace is guarded by one of the regiments of the gr.
rison. lhe King shewed himself at one of jhe balconies of !'_t
Palace and bowed to the National troops. The battalions d:••-
tined for Vicalbaro and Leganes arrived peaceably, and r,:re
received in the midst of cries of Long live the Constitution:—
The most perfect tranquillity reigns in the capital.
" By letters from Cordova and Seville, and the statements is
different periodical papers, we have the disagreeable intelligetc:
that the Carabineers in the neighbourhood of Cordova, dis.r..i-
fied with the order for the reduction of their small corps, mini-
frsted their discontent a few days ago, by mutinying and cc-
camping in Castro del Rio, four leagues from Cordova. In that
city it was believed that it was the intention of these truops :3
solicit the Government, in decorous terms, not to care•
effect the intended reduction, but that until they received as
answer they would remain In a situation not the must paciii,:.
" As soon as this sews was circulated in Andalusia, is rry
duced that unpleasant sensation which must be felt by all ka-
niards, who are well convinced that on o►edience to the laws,
respect for lawful authorities, and the preservation of order, all
public felicity depends. The towns remain tranquil, and the M.-
gistrates redouble their vigilance to prevent still greater esds.

" As soon as an account of this event reached Seville, 150 ;r-
-fantry of the Majorca Regiment, and some artillerymen, ivi:h
two pieces of cannon, marched for Cordova. The troops wce
drawn out, and every necessary measure was adopted, butk
the preservation of order and for recalling the Car.dainters
their duty. With the latter view the Commandant-General :1.
dressed an Order to the Carabineers, and the Political Chief
formed the people of Seville of what had occurred by a rc.
clamation, dated the 25th of June.

" The accounts received by the latest corresponcier...• speA
of the Carabineers having been attacked, and of the drc r-1 Ob-
ject having been accomplished : but as the letters front tlitferer:
