POOR CLERGY.

Lord HOLLAND noticed the passage in the King's Speech
which instructed Parliament to make provisions for the poorer
Clergy, and gave notice of his intention to make three motions
on the subject :—First, for the amount of the Fund of Queen
Ann's Bounty ; secondly, for the application; thirdly, the amount
of small livings ; aid, fourthly, for the number of benefices in
free towns and corporations. 'the Noble Lord intimated, that
his object was to prove that the poor Clergy suffered by the emo-
luments derived by the rich Clergy.
The ARCHBISHOP of CAN I'ERBURY said, the Papers
already produced would give the Noble Lord the most material
part of the information which he wanted. His Grace thought
the 'louse would not agree to the Noble Lord's motions, unless
very cadent grounds were laid fur the adoption of them.—
Thursday next was a day when it would be very inconvenient
for the 13:shops to attend, as the most of them would be engaged
on that day. We understood his Grace to allude to the Meeting
of the Sons of the Clergy.
The BISHOP of-I,ONDON made a few observations to the
same effect. :

Lord HOLLAND had not foreseen the occurrence of the
Meeting alluded to, or be would have proposed ►omc other day,
as be wished to make his nmtio i perfectly convenient to the
Right Reverend Prelates. 141: therefore shoutl propose Friday
next, if that were not hiconvenient also.

It was then agreed that the Noble &iron's motions should he
made.. ot. Itiday nest ; and their lordships were ordered to be
summoned.

Sewral private Bills were received from the
jourued.
