ebey went originally emefled I—but Mr. Secretary
1111141 has given directions to inform them, through
ler/tedium of their Commandants, that it was never
she intention of Government to give them Iv their
clothing, which is the- practice in the Regular Militia,
whose servitude is for five years • and that the few
dais the former are assembled together, cannot pos-
sibly entitle them to that indulgence ; but that the

In the Parish Register Bill, now before the House
of Commons, (which by the original projector of the
plan was so framed as to embrace equally and indis-
criminately the interests of all descriptions of his Ma-
jesty's subjects, without regard to their religious
creed,) an invidious distinction is set up, between
Members of the Church and Dissenters ; the latter
not being permitted to rank in the same columns of
parochial registration with the former. We know
that on this point the Episcopal Bench were divided
in opinion ; and, were we not restrained from motives
of delicacy, we could be more particular on the subject.
