ADDITIONAL CUURCIIES' HILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
rising to propose the second reading of the Additional
Churches Bill, thought, after the many objection which
had been made to it, it would be better, at this late
period of the Session, to postpone it. He was, however,
anxious to go into a Committee, when he would be
better able to explain the nature and objects of its dif-
ferent clauses. Two of these clauses, which he con-
sidered most objectionable, be meant to withdraw for
the present.

Mr. LEYCESTER was glad to find that the Chan-
senor of the Exchequer had given up the rating system,
which was most unconstitutional and unjust.•by giving
to Churchwardens a power of taxing the people. It
was unconstitutional, because no people ought to be
taxed except by themselves or their representatives; and
it was unjust, because it forced the dissenters to maintain
the church. The Bill altogether was a most tyrannical '
one; and he objected strongly to many of its clauses.
Mr. J. WOOD expressed his disapprobation of the
Bill, and hoped that before the next Session of Parlia-
ment the Right Honourable Gentleman would see the
necessity of withdrawing it altogether.
Mr. Alderman WOOD hoped the Bill would never
be again brought forward. Nothing should induce him
to desist. from dividing the House night. after night in
opposition to the measure, should the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman persist in pressing it. He did not mean to hold
that out as a threat—(A laugh)—he only intended say-
ing he should testify all possible Parliamentary hostility
to the Bill.
Sir CHARLES COLE was favourable to that clause
of the Bill which prohibited burials in Churches.

Mr. Alderman WAITHM AN hoped the Right Hon.
Gentleman would consent to withdraw the Bill—a mea-
sure which was so objectionable in its principle, that,
were it generally known, more Petitions against it would
be laid on the table of the House than were presented
against the Benefit Societies Bill.
Mr. WARBURTON concurred in the hope which
Hon. Members had expiessed, that the Right Hon.
Gentleman would postpone proceeding with the measure
till next year.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de-
fended the Bill, contending that against the clause for
regulating burials no possible objection could be urged;
neither could any opposition be reasonably offered to the
clause respecting the building of suitable residences for
Rectors. But, whatever objections might be opposed
to the Bill or its provisions, he thought that in any point
of view it was desirable that the House should go into
the Committee.

Mr. R. GORDON said, as the Bill contained so many
objectionable clauses, some ot which, with that convic-
tion, had been postponed by the Right Hon. Gentleman
himself, it ought to be altogether deferred till next Ses-
sion. One example of the summary operation of the
Bill he should mer.tion. In the parish of St. George
three organs had been erected, on the legality of con-
structing which by the vestry order, the parishioners
felt some doubts, which had not yet been removed.—
The Bill then before the House, if passed, would at
once settle the quettion—together with those objection-
able proceedings of Vestries respecting Pew Rates, and
other cha►ges.
Mr. LESTER tharttly offend the Bill.
Dr. PHILLIMORE objected to the introduction of
a Bill of such importance at so late a period of the 4es-

sion, and contended that it would be granting a very
small boon indeed to those who should build churches
out of their own private funds, to give them the pa-
tronage of such churches.
Dr. LUSHINGTON, although he did not approve
of the whole of the measure, should vote for the House
'resolving itself into the Committee. He was quite
convinced that were his Honourable Friends to in-
form themselves respecting the operation of the existing
law, and contrast it with the provisions of the proposed
Bill, very little opposition would be offered to that
measure. Among other proposed alterations of which
he approved was one respecting the payment of charges
and the levying of rates to meet them by the Vestries.
By the existing laws the money was first expended, and
then raised by a rate—by the proposed measure that
practice would be reversed—the money would be first
raised, and then applied to the exigencies of the parish
—(Hear, hear). With respect to patronage, he hoped
he should never see the right of appointment placed in
the hands of a body of parishioners, which would re-
duce a clergyman to the necessity of undertaking a very
degrading species of canvass.
Mr. HUME thought it a great misfortune that
Clergymen should not be elected by their own congre-.
Ration, and he wondered that .his Honourable Friend,
who hid shown himself so liberal in other things,
should not be of his opinion. But his principal objec-
tion to the Bill was, that it alluded to eleven or twelve
Acts of Pat liament without repealing them or consoli-
dating them. If the Bill were withdrawn till next Ses-
sion, the Right Honourable Mover would have time to
look to this, and the people would become better ac-
quainted with it.
Mr. SUGDEN thought the Bill a valuable one, and
that the objectionable clauses might be amended in a.
Committee. With respect to the election of Clergymen
by their congregation, the effects that had followed
wherever that had been practised must make every man
regret that it was allowed at all—(Hear, hear). In
Clerkenwell parish the election had been several times
the subject of litigation, and had cost the parish im-
mense sums of money. The same might be observed
with a City pat ish,which had had a suit with the Bishop
of London.

- Sir F. BURDETT said that there appeared hardly
any one who understood the whole of the Bill. All bad
disagreed with it on some Account, both the learned and
unlearned Members of the House, so that it seemed a
monster nulls virtute redemptum. His strong objection
to the measure was the same as that of the Honourable
Member for Montrose, namely, the number of laws there
existed upon this subject, and that now was the proper
time to consolidate them. In order to de that, how-
ever, time must be given, and that would at the
same time , make patties interested in the measure
acquainted with it. Under all these circumstances,
he hoped the Bill would pass over till the next
Session. The Hon. Member who spoke last had ob-
jected to the election of a Clergyman by his congrega-
tion, on the ground that it produced disorder. He could
only say that the few livings he had in his gift were
disposed of that way, and he had never found anything
but the greatest harmony prevail between the pa-
rishioners and their Clergymen—(Cheers). No doubt a
bad form of election might lead to inconveniences, but
there could be no objection to the principle, for it was
that which was universally acted upon in the early ages
of the Church—(Hear).

On the question for the second reading of the Bill being put,

Mr. HUMS moved as an Amendment that it be read a second
time that day three months.
.The House was then denied for a division, when there appeared,

On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. J, WOOD
on his legs. The Honourable Member, alluding to
some observation of Mr. Calcraft during our exclusion,
said, that if this was a specimen of the manner in which
the Honourable Member meant to condint himself, he
congratulated him on his having changed his side of the
House. When he (Mr. Wood) found him persevere in
calling " Question," he could not help reminding him
of his change of place. The Hon. Member denied
the people's rights by calling " Question, question," when
they were endeavouring to obtain a chance for the people
having their rights preserved. The Bill was not only ob-
jectionable in principle, but was a breach of faith. When
the Church Bill was first proposed in that House, and Mr.
Vansittart first proposed a grant of one million for build-
ing churches, to which another half million bad since
been added, he distinctly stated that the people were
not to be burdened with the support of the Ministers
serving in the new Chutches, but that they were to be
paid from the hire of the pews by those who formed
their congregation. One great fallacy in this Bill was,
that the Churchwardens were distributors of the rates
raised by the parish at large.—By the present Bill the
power was taken from the people—it was unfair to
hasten the Bill through Parliament without giving the
people an opportunity of canvassing its merits.
Sir J. BRYDGES imputed to the opposers of the
Bill a with to pull down the Church.

Mr. S. RICE denied that the motives of the opposers
of the Bill were a wish to pull down the Church. There
was not a provision of the Bill that was not open to cen-
sure. The opposers of the Bill did not wish to encroach
on the privileges of the Church, but to fortify the
Church by removing all cause of irritation between the
Church and the Dissenters. All the opponents wanted
was a Committee of Investigation into its merits. If
they were sound they could not buffer by inquiry. The
Bill had been supported by two members of the legal
profession, but legal Gentlemen were not always the
'best authorities on political subjects. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer,in proposing the Bill at this late period
of the Session, against the opinion of the public, was'
very culpable, if not ill-advised.
Sir JOHN BRYDGES said, he was authorised in
saying what he did when he heard sach hostility to the
Church proposed by the Hon. Member for Preston.

Mr. J. WOOD denied that he had declared any hos-
tility to the Established Church.
Mr. 0. CAVE, amidst cries of" question," expressed
a wish to delay the Bill.

Sir H. WII:SO-N thought the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer might give the country an opportunity of con-
sidering the Bill. This he expected from the generally
liberal`conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not
think the mode recommended expedient; but having
looked at the provisions of the Bill, he could not bring
himself to think it oppressive.
Sir J. GRAHAM thought the measure unadvised,
and should pronounce the imputation of the Honour-
able Baronet unfounded, untrue, and unjust. He called
on the Honourable Member for Wareham to use his
influence with his new associates to withdraw this Bill,
Iso obnoxious to the public. It would be the best proof

I
i

of the sincerity of his professions of __ ,
liberality.
Mr. CA LCRAFT; having been called on
and friendly terms, was sure his Honourable "iv,
would not quarrel with him for the .conscientious
charge of his duty—particularly, when he reminded !Mal
that when he ss as on the other side of the Ilhuse fe
advocated the measure of building Cbtaichelt Now
then could he ask his Right Hon. Friend the Cita),
cellor of the Exchequer to arrest the progress •ir
Bill which he had originally advocated? He wish,
Bill to go into Committee, in which the details nlig,.l
be canvassed. As to the observations of the Hon. Mem:
her for Preston, he would not take any notice if their
At the same time he would admit he had commuted .1
breach of order and decorum in crying k lautstion ;"
but he hoped he should correct it soon, as he Vas
long at that side of the House, and had pl,h,bl
brought the habit from the other side. However,
should not reply, though he had many temptati, • ,
Mr. G. LAMB hoped the Chancellor of the Exche.
qber would not attend to the new counsels he ro-eme.l
from Hon. Gentlemen at the other side of the Ilcust,
Going into Committee on the Bill in that period of o,
Session was only depriving the public of an opportuity
of knowing anything of the Bill. As to the Fez out
presented in favour of it by the Chancellor of e .e Es.
chequer, it was bat a pocket pistol ri a Petit (1. •,:e
rather a billet-deux. The Bill had been sentwed
to its present stage. There was no nec, ssity t4e
Sill should be pressed at that hour, as there relislot4
400,000/. for the purpose as yet unappropriated.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said that the p•i7.
master General of the Forces, and other Honculable
Members, had expressed their ignorance of the Bill,
and was it then too much to ask that some time szoold
be allowed the public to decide upon•its merits? Tne
Chancellor of the Exchequer said that in the ('stn.
mittee he could explain every thing. Now, if tali be
the case, why not give the public time to Loden.
stand the measure by deferring its farther p:-•g
until next Session? Let this Bill be good or b. d, be

On our return we found Mr. HMI addressing th
House. He had opposed the original grant of a ni:lturs
for building additional Churches, and was 'then 'old
that no tax should be imposed on the perfte orthe
support of the public worship in the new Chtucte,..-
He thought it quite unreasonable that a Bill, giving an
unlimited power to tax the people, should be por.ed
through ;ire House, without its being understood tif
the country. He was anxious to have the debait
journed, that he might, to-morrow, move for the se.
turn of 500„9004. that was not yet expended, riche, thee
have new Churches built that were to impose
tional taxation on the country—(Hear, hear).The Hoe.
Member concluded by moving, that the teethe! sonsr-
,deration of this Bill be postponed until to.:morrov.

Mr. WARBURTON thought the Hon. Gentleman
(Mr. Home) was correct in saying this Bill woold be-
stow a new right of taxation. He defeaded thicolche
pursued by Hon. Members in their • • the
Bill upon the ground of necessity, trj tie
motion of the Hon. Member for Montrotimgv
Mr. GORDON said, that though he 14;44. ',arid let
the original grant, he did not consider himself of
any inconsistency in opposing the further progics of
this Bill. • He was drawn into this observatioa friNs the
circumstance of the Paymaster General. for srhua
entertained the greatest respect and regai,!, luring
founded his claim to consistency upon ;the opoate
course of proceeding. An Honourable Baronet had
accused Gentlemen sitting at his side of the Hone of
being enemies to the Church. He maintained tlat the
Honourable Baronet had no right to impiate tea to
them or to any of his Honourable Friends, and fo. bim•
self and for them he threw back the ;barge in.the .teh
I f the Honourable Baronet.
Mr. CALCRAFT explained. He had into roni
of imputing inconsistency to his Hanelitabie
and he was sure Iris Honourable Friend had none of
doing so towards him.
Sir J. BRYDGES said, in explanation, that be did set
accuse all who were at the other side of the Host of
being enemies to the Church; he had only said tut
there was a party in the House which was inclined le
pull down the Church.-(Cries of name, name).
Sir W. WYNN, taking int • consideration the 14.
vanced period of the Session, and feeling that tne
might have been introduced sooner, would now ..002
it, without however pledging himself to do so on I ii•-•
lure occasion. • •
Lord SANDON was opposed to the further room
of the Bill during the present Session.
Mr. MONCK was opposed to the Bill, as it went

that year after year the Church of England sbouh
made to appear in the shape of a-tax gatherer. h&c,

Dr. PIELLIMORE held an opinion similar 1., eat

On our return into the gallery we found
Mr. Alderman WOOD complaining of the Bill, and expressint
his surprise that the Right Hon. Gentleman should persist in it.
The Hon. Nlember moved that the House do now adjourn.
Mr. MA RSH A LL, of Yorkshire, seconded the motion. If this
Bill were postponed, the table of the House would be burdened
with Petitions against it.
Sir RIDLEY COLBOURNE deprecated these frequent divi-
sions. Hon. Members should reserve their opposition to the next
stage of the Bill.
Mr. B. BARING said, that this was the proper time to oppose
the Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that this
proceeding was a very unfair, not to say an unmanly one—and he was
quite sure when the country witnessed that opposition, there would
nut be a dissentient voice against it. What he wished was to go
oto Committee on the Bill, in order to render it perfect if possible.
But in order to accommodate Hon. Members, he bad no objection
to take any day for going into Committee which Hon. Members
might propose.
Lord STANLEY wished to know, if this Bill were allowed to
go into Committee, whether he would postpone it until the next
Session ?

Mr. MA BEELT said, that the reason why these propositions
to build Churches were made, was only for the purpose of puttiug
patronage into the hands of the Church. What they (the Opposi-
tioi ) asked, was time for inquiry. The Right Hon. Gentleman
had called the conduct of the Opposition vexatious. It was very
well far the Right Hon. Gentleman to say so, when, with a crack
at his whip, he could bring his troops down and divide four and
bee to one against them (the Opposition).
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER only wished the
Bill to go into Committee, in order to afford time to the country to
examine it.

Lord STANLEY renewed his question. If the Bill went into
Committee, would suflicient time be allowed for the Bill to gp, be-
fore the country ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was agreed that
fair time should be allowed to the country to consider the Bill.
Nr. P. THOMSON said it was absurd to suppose that there
was time for the country to examine the Bill in the very limited
time proposed to be allowed. He should oppose the Bill, accord-
ing to every parliamentary usage.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM wished to know what the Right Hon.
Gentleman considered to be suicient time, and to point out what
ciause was of an urgent nature.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.—Let the Hon.
Bart. name his own time, and there would be no difference between
them. On the other point, there were many clauses of the Bill,
viz. those relating to Simony and the Registry of Baptisms, which
were urgent.. .

Sir F 7 BURDETT said, that the country ought to be allowed
until the next Session of Parliament to consider the Bill. And
with respect to the Registry of Baptisms, they were already re-
gistered—( Hear, hear, bear). If the Right Honourable Gentleman
was determined to pus the Bill during the present Session, a month
was not too long a rinse to give.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, if the Right Hon. Gentleman was
afraid that legitimate notice should not be taken of baptisms,
marriages, arc. he might bring in a Bill of two sentences, which
would answer all the purposes for the insurance of such legitimacy.
Sir THOMAS ACLA ND supported the Bill.
Mr. HUME explained. He wished to stop the Bill, and for
that purpose be would use every endeavour.
Mr. C. WOOD wished the Bill to be printed and stand over,
that the sense of the country might be taken upon it.
Mr. OTWA Y CAVE.—If the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Peel) were in the House, he felt assured, from the great disappro-
bation which this Bill met with in the maoutacturing districts, he
would withdraw it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he
wished the Bill to go into Cotismittee, and then it would be found
that he would not be unreasonable as to time.
The Numbers, on division, were—

On our readmission to the gallery, we found Mr. Wasatravon
on his legs, proposing, as an amendment, that the Hbuse should go
into Committee that day six months.
Mr. HUME seconded the amendment.

taiga NUGIINT said, If the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave
fair time to consider the Bill, be should give hint his vote upon the
question now before the House.
.!
GC CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to

d .e of the Bill a• seemed best to them. If, after coming out
of : Committee, the Bill was not acceptable, briaiould not be
unreasonable or disposed to press it further, unless it met with
general approbation.
After a few words from Sir G. Hui, and the Cnartcar.Lea of
the Ezmusunta in explanation, the Committee was Axed for Thurs-
day next, Mr. WAILBUSTOII having withdrawn his amendment.
The Order of the Day being read for bringing up the Report of '
the Regent's Park Bill,
Mr. MABERLY suggested that it would be desirable to re
move turnpike gates from the streets in the suburbs of the me-
tropolis.
Lord LOWTHER said, that a small rate of's penny in the
pound would be sufficient to effect the object recommended by the
Hon. Gentleman. He had collected some information relative to
it, which he hoped by next Session might be brought into such a
gape as would enable him to bring in a Bill upon the subject.
The Report was brought up and agreed to.
The other Orders were then disposed of, and the House ad-

The observations ut Sir JAMES MACINTOSH on the
state of affairs in Portugal and the policy of Govern,
:beat towards that country, will excite much interest,

both on account of the knowledge of international law,
for which the Right Honourable Gentleman is famed,
and for the reply that his speech drew from Mr Pm.
It was well argued by the latter, that the question of the
Oporto blockade must be determined upon principles
of national law. and not upon moral considerations, or
the influence of a feeling in favour of the Portuguese
Constitution. The blockade being now d%ctive, and'
recognised by Government, it is useless, in a prac-
tical point of view, to discuss the different opinions
that have been formed respecting it. It is highly
satisfactory to hear Mr. Pam speaking in such strong
terms of reprehension of the criminal conduct and
intentions of Don Moon ; and it may, perhaps,
be wiser to take the prudent part of joining our
remonstrances to those of the other Powers, and allow
a little time for their taking effect, than to break off at
once all relations with Portugal, and involve the Penin-
sula in a more desperate state of anarchy than it is even
now. With regard to Lord BERESTORD'S letters, which
were again alluded to, we presume no one, after the
Duke of WILLINGTON'S declaration, suspects for a mo-
ment that they were sanctioned by his Grace, or any
other Member of the Cabinet.

The French Papers of Sunday give further details of
the passage of the Danube by the Russians, which ap-
pears to have been effected with some difficulty. M.
LAROCHE JAC/ORLIN, the son of the hero of LaVendfre,
distinguished himself by taking the first standard from
the Turks, and was embraced and complimented on the
occasion by the EMPEROR. The extracts from the
German Papers give an interesting account of the state
of the countries forming the seat of war. Servia is ex'
petted to revolt on the first victory gained by the
Russians, and though the EMPEROR has refused to in-
crease his territories at present, from these provinces,
it is hardly to be expected that the war will end without
a considerable augmentation of the Russian empire.—
The dismemberment of provinces would be the symptom
of the approaching dissolution of the Mahometan power;
it was the precursor of the fall of Rome ; and will un-
doubtedly be that of the contraction of that splendid
arch of eastern dominion, which now spans the fertile
regions between Bagdad and Belgrade.

The German Papers received this morning contain
no further intelligence from the Russian army inTurkey.
The following are extracts:

CORFU, My 26.

An insurrection has broken out in Epirus. An indi.
vidual named Liiacca, commanding the district of Zs-
gani, has declared against the Porte, and had cut off
the communication between Janina and Albania. He
will not desist from his hostile proceedings till he has
obtained certain concessions, which he demands of the
Porte.—Milan Gazette, June 17.
