NEW CHMICHtS.

Os the Order being moved for bringing up the Report,
Mr. HUME objected to the Report being received. He con-
ceived the vote to be to increase the patronage of the Church;
which he must deprecate, on account of the uses to which it was
applied. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving. that the Re-
port be brought up that day six months
Mr. WARRE at first had objections to the grant; but upon
more mature consideration, felt convinced of its propriety. Much
would depend upon the nomination of the Incumbents who were
to fill the Churches. He was bound to look at the number of ap-
plications that had been made tor new Churches. With every sen-
timent of good-will to the Dissenters, be certainly had a greater
predilection for that Church of which be was a Member.
M. EVANS said it would be better if bodies of men could be in-
duced to build Churches, than to make a grant of the public money.
Mr. W. SMITH stated, that there were thirty-three places of
11 worship belonging to the Dissenters in the place that he repr-sensed.
They were well filled, while the Churches, though the incumbents
were men of talents, were, comparatively. but ill attended. lie
wished to inquire, if the money could not be raised from hinds at
the command of the Church, without burthening the People ?

Sir R. Fanoossos and Mr. Bitten opposed the vote.
Sir I. COFFI N supported the vote.—He thought we should be
undermined if we did Out keep a sharp look out, a.. 0 keep the Me-
thodists out of our houses as well as our Churches—(A laugh).—
They were such a set of routed fellow» that they would make their
way through the cellars—( A laugh).—Their .nfluence led to prosti-
tution and dishonesty . and to counteract that influence he, as an
honest Churchman, would support the vote—( Laughter and cheers).
Mr. BU TTER Y GUTH said, he did nut t ise ,or the purpose of
answering the speech of the Honourable Gent 1..ma.1 who spoke last.
lie would support the Motion, and rake that a, portunity of making
one or two observations on what had fallen trout an Honourable
and Learned Gentleman (Dr. I.ushiogton) the ether night. He was
very sorry to hear so respectable a society as the Home Mission So-
ciety spoken of as they had been upon that occasion by the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman. He had an opportunity of knowing
something of the proceedings of that society, and he believed they
were highly praiseworthy. They sent persons, with a view to reli-
gious instruction, into places where there was no Minister and no
Church, and where, from the want of such opportunities, the peo-
ple were in a state of mental darkness. They had done much good.
He could not but regret that the Learned Gentleman attempted to
throw ridicule on those who dissented from the Church of Ragland.
They professed to regulate their conduct by the Bible, and they
were therefore no object for ridicule. It must be productive of
mach mischief to hear such language proceed from both sides of
the House as had been used in the course of the debate on this
question. He supported this Motion because the population bad
greatly increased, and of course wanted further accommodation ;
but care should be taken to select Clergymen every way competent
to the discharge of such important duties. He knew an instance
in which an individual subscribed 1,0002. towards building a
Church, and could not attend Divine Service at die • same Church
after, because the character of the Clergyman was not such as
he approved. If the parishioners were allowed to have some
share in the election, members would be ready to come forward
with their subscriptions. The Hon. Member for Midhurst (Mr.
Smith) said, he should prefer voting the 500,0001. for the bitildirg
of Schools. That he would admit was a subject of grave consi-
deration ; hut the increase of Churches would naturally lead- the
wny to the increase of Schools. Persons who were in the regular
habit of attending Church were always quite disposed to educate
poor children. Ile thought the vote would do much good, but he
was sorry that Honourable Gentlemen could not suppiwt the arm-
rests of the Establis!icd Church n ithout throwing out reflections on
those who dissented from it. However they might differ from the
Methodist Society, it was not right to make them sore by such
reflections.
Mr. THOMAS WILSON spoke in favour of the Motion, on
account of the dispropori.-:n in number between the F.:stabil:bed
and the Sectari to pLices of worship, though he wished not to
convey any reflection on D:aseaters. He particularly regretted aft
the system sin which our Churches were built was one which ap.
prarcci to have in view the personal comforts of the rich, and to neg-
lect those of the pour. lie trusted it would be altered on the build-
ing of tile new Churches.—The House then divided, when theta
appeared—

On the chore Which authoriA person holding 500 acres of land
to appoint gamekeeper',
colonel WOOD opposed it. He considered this multiplication
of gamekeepers would be very objectionable; he believed the doing
so would much increase the number of poachers, for he verily be-
lieved almost every gamekeeper was a poacher—(No, no). Gentle.
inch might say No, no, but he would say Yes, yes. He believed
more than half the game sent illegally to London was sent by
gaturkepe:ll—(Hear, hear, hear). If this clause was to pass, there
was pot a small holder of 500 acres who would not appoint his
gamekeeper ;ihat gamekeeper would generally be his son, and thus
a good farmer would be spoiled.
After some observations from Mr. S. WOZTLIT, Mr. Moxer, and
Colonel Davies, the Clause was agreed to.
On the clause which was intended to regulate Who and under
what circumstances snares might be set,
Colonel DAVIES wished to have an amendment introduced
into this clause; namely—that no person should set a snare within
a less distance than 100 acres of any game preserve.
Sir I SHELLEY supported this amendment.
Sir J. SEBRIG HT could not agree to this amendment. He
thought every poor man, even supposing his garden to be close to a
preserve, ought to have a right to snare any game which came on
his property.
Mr. PEEL was in favour of the amendment.
Colonel DAVIES said a few words in explanation.
Mr. SYKES was in favour of the amendment.
After some further conversation, the amendment was negatived,
and the clause agreed to.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said, as the Bill at present stood, night-
poachers, for a third offence, were liable to transportation. But it
might happen that a poacher might be guilty of violence towards
the person apprehending him, and in such a ease, he would now
propose a clause, providing that, for the first offence, if accompanied
with violence, the offender should be liable to transportation, if the
Court thought fit.
This clause, after a few observations, was adopted.—Several other
verbal amendments were Made, and the Committee having gone
through the Bill, the House resumed, and the Report was ordered
to be received.
The other Orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned at
nate-PAST ONE.

Last night the Alien Bill was read a third time, and
passed the House of Commons, in open defiance of the
splendid orations of Colonel PALMER and Mr. Dsmagatr,
and notwithstanding there was not a single word said
in its favour. The gallant Colonel marshalled argu-
guments, or assertions, with as much precision as he
could have marshalled the " Tenth," had he still re-
mained in that unfortunate Corps. He quoted SHAS.
SPEARE as glibly as Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and gave
with peculiar emphasis that very rare passage—As Who
steals my purse steals trash," &c. The discovery of
this obsolete passage in SHAKSPEARE is nothing to
what the researches of the gallant Colonel achieved.
He found out, forsooth I that this country is in danger,
and, like a true patriot, he could look to nothing but
the means to save her. Then comes SHAKSPEARE again;
but we defy Mr. HORACE Twiss, notwithstanding the
knowledge he must have acquired in forming his verbal
index—yes, we defy him to guess the passage which
the Honourable Member, like Dr. Prolix, with infinite
promptitude, quoted in support of his pattiotism.—
Speaking of England, he exclaimed, that in her cause
he would say with Hotspur—

" By Heaven, methinks it were an ea.ly leap
" To pluck bright Honour from the pale-fac'd moon,
" Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
" Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
4' And pluck up drowned Honour by the lock,—
" But out upon this half-fac'd fellowship!"
Now this is straightforward—it is in the Lieutenant
Lismahago style of wooing, when, having rescued Miss
rabitha Bramble from the file, he wants to put his love
to the test of another element, and wishes that she were
at the bottom of the sea, that he might " fish her up
again."—Quitting SHAKBPEARE, the gallant Member
scoured up his Latin, and told the House that Virlus sole
Nobilitas was the motto of his heart, and " he hoped teo
deeply written down to be erased by any temptation
which the vanity of this world could offer." This hoping
is but a sort of half virtue. Why not aver that the very
words, with an English translation, were actually writ.
ten on his bean, like Calais on that of Queen MARY,
and challenge any man who denied it to search and
satisfy himself. Then the Honouralbe Mernl)er talked
.-oh, how he did talk—about fools, knaves, reforma-
tion of drunken regiments, justice, firmness, humanity,
inmrnon sense, the structure of Governments, King
FERDINAN* the brute creation, the Bible Society,
General MUM, and. John Bull. But what has all
this to do with the Allen Act? What indeed ! and
we only quote the heads of the Honourable Mem
'tier's discourse, to thew how comprehensive it must
have been. One or two observations are, however,
:entitled to more attention. The gallant Colonel, after
sighing for the fate of his poor country, is repre-
sented to have said that England, though once the
greatest nation in the world, now stood 44 degraded, in
raked, despised, a bankrupt in characterand in fortune,

and, what was Worse, lost den to the sense of her own'

dishonour." 0 wretched England, ill-fated Ciaina PAL-

MER, to be doomed to witness your cuuntry's dishonour
—the realm's decay. What avails our being at peace with
all the world—we are g despised:' of what import•
ante is our having prevented a general crusade against
Spain, or kept in check the views of the Continental
Powers on South America—we are degraded. Why
prove to us that our taxes are reduced—that our Re-
venue improves, and that our superabundant wealth
cannot find half employment in " home-born projects,"

as Launcelot Leatherhead, in BEN JoNsoN's Bartholo-

sew Fait. says, since we are 44 bankrupt;" and all

this we are assured we are by Colonel PALMER.—
Why talk of a well-appointed Army, or a Navy, whose
sails would at once unfold and waft her now sleeping
thunders to every clime, when we are " insulted"—by
the Dey of ALorzas, we presume. But admitting th at
we are insulted, despised, and degraded (and who dare
deny it when an Honourable M.P. asserts it), let
us ascertain the cause of this humiliation ; happily
the gallant Colonel .applies us with it. Speaking
of the Continental Sovereigns, he sdiJ, how was it
possible that these Powers " could be actuated by any
more favourable sentiment than contempt for a Go-
vernment, which, whatever might be its own feeling
was unable to controul the feelings of the nation!"

Of all the proofs of weakness in a Government this is
certainly the strangest : Some of the Continental Powers
are called despots, because they place restraints on the
press, but the British Government is accused of im-
becility because it does not con troul the feelings
of the people; 44 Muffs and meerschams," as the Dandy
Hussar in the new comedy exclaims, we never heard
such a charge. Controul the feelings of an Eng-

lishman, indeed, who, as Sir Anthony Absolute says,
has a right to be in a passion if he pleases. Who
ever heard of so monstrous a proposition ? But that
the present Ministers neither wish to restrain public
feeling or public speaking, is best proved by the pa-
tience with which they heard the Honourable Member
last night.
On Mr. DENMAN'S speech we have no room for re-
mark, nor does it need any—that of the gallant Colonel
was novel—Mr. DENMAN'S, on the contrary, was a
hash, and by no means a savoury one, of all the
threadbare objections which have been made to the
Alien Bill for the last twenty years. After such an op-
position, our Readers will not be surprised to learn that
the Bill passed by a Majority of 64—the numbers be-
ing 111 for, and 47 against the Bill.

German Papers to the/Lb inst.reached us this morning.
—The Allgemeine Zeilung has the following article
from Marseilles, dated ad of March. It confirms a
statement we made nearly a month ago, of the com-
plaint made by the Ottoman Porte of Lord BY RON'S as-
sistance to the Greeks :
" Letters from Pera, which may be depended upon,
give the following information respecting the late diplo.
matic transactions at Constantinople.
I, The French Charge d'Affaires has remained in a
manner wholly neutral in the late discussions with the
Porte, and as he was not furnished with any full vowels,
confined himself to the simple part of a diplomatic ob-
server. French influence cannot be effectual till the new
Ambassador shall have arrived at Constantinople, and,
acting upon general instructions, shall take such steps
as he may judge necessary to interfere in the negocia-
'ions. But he probably will not till the moment when
he may act with effect, and will, very likely, take that
part which has hitherto been assigned to Lord Strang-
ford, but which seems to be drawing to a close. For it
is generally known at Pera, that the credit of the Bri-
tish Ambassador with the Grand Vizier and the Divan
has greatly declined, and that he now has the greatest
difficulties to struggle with, where he formerly found it
easy to obtain everything.
44 This important change is justly ascribed to the opi-
nion (whether well or ill founded is indifferent) now
entertained by the Divan and all the Turkish Officers
of State, that the British Cabinet has lately become fa-
vourably disposed towards the Greeks. This opinion
has caused the warm discussions with Lord Strangford,
and in particular the bitter and cutting tone of the
Turkish Ministers, of which the English Ambassador so
much complains. The last dispute in which the No-
ble Lord was engaged with the Grand Vizier, and
which, with all his diplomatic skill, he could
not evade, related to the corps of troops formed at
Missolonghi, under Lord Byron; the supplies of,
arms and warlike stores sent to the Greeks from
Malta, the lonian Islands—nay, even from England
itself; the loans negociated in London for the
aid of the Greeks, and other recent circumstances.
—But this was not all : the distrust of the Turks being
once roused, other circumstances, which had never been
mentioned before, were brought forward—among
others, the pretended plan of the English Cabinet to ob .
tain the supremacy of the Morea and the adjacent
islands ; the frequent visits of English Staff Officers and
Engineers to the Peloponnesus, which they traversed in
all directions, and took plans of the most important mi-
litary positions and maritime stations ; the presence of
a considerable naval force at Malta and the lonian
Islands ; the negociations of Captain Hamilton with .the
chiefs of the Greek rebels, as the Turks esteem them,
&c. Their ancient ill will towards Russia continues,
and no recent event has been able to appease it. The
arrival of the Russian Agent, M. Von Minziacky, flat-
tered the pride of the Turks, but it has not diminished
their distrust of the Court of St. Petersburgh, and will
hardly lead to the evacuation of Wallachia and Mol-
davia. Th.e mission of this Russian Agent is consi-
dered as fruitless, the influence of the Austrian Inter-
nuncio is not considerable enough for him to effect any
change L. this respect." . ,

• Piedntontese audies to the Ist of April reached us
this morning. They state that the King, desiring to
bring the Code of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies to
the greatest degree of perfection, created in the month
of August last, five Commissions, each consisting of
three Magistrates§ and charged them to states indepen-
dently of each other, the observations which from their
experience and the exercise of their functions, they had
been enabled to make, some on one part, some en an-
other part of the Code: These Commissioners having
presented their several repot ts, his Majesty in the Coun-
cil of State, held on the 9th of Fe ruary last, was
pleased to create a General Commission, which he has
charged to present a plan for the improvement of the
civil code, availing itself for this purpose of the labours
of the abovementioned separate Commissioners.
His Majesty has chosen seven Magistrates from the
various Courts of Justice at Naples, to compose the
Commission. His Majesty has anther ordered that the
Minister Secretary of State for tie Department of
Grace and Justice, shall be President of the Commission,
allowing him in case of impediment to appoint one of the
member s of the Commission to exercise his functions.

We learn, on the autltters from Alexandria,
of the 101 of February, that there is no foundation for
the rumour which has been afloat, and occasioned some
sensation in England, that the Pacha of Egypt had
declared himself independer.t of the Ottoman Porte.
