TO THE RDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND4RD.

Liverpool, Ist August, 1836.
Sir:—ln your critique tipon the performances of the Liver=
pool Cboral. Society, whose first public meeting took place at
the Amphitheatre, on Inesay evening last; you Conclude by
stating, " We 'scarcely know an exatnple of a town Of-anything
like the extent of Liverpool where the science of musts is so
little cultivated and encouraged;" you also state, "and we be"-
lieve we are correct in saying that the Choral Society is the
only public musical body in the town."—
I-fully concur in the sentiment contained in the first extract,
that the science of music is not sufficiently cultivated and en-
couraged ;. but with respect to the last extract, when the Choral
Society is named as the only public musical licitly in town, 1
beg leave to differ with you for a very. cogent reason; viz. That
there is another society in existence in Liverpool, dendmi-
nated the "Liverpool Musical Society," whirl, has greatly
contributed to the increase of vocal and instrumental talent,
under very inauspicious circumstances, having already given
tifty-one public quarterly performances, and although an at-
tempt has been made to join the Musical and Choral Societies
together, for the express purpose of forming a more "Efficient
Choral Society," and some of its members have seceded, still
the Musical Society, as a body meet' regularly every week, and
will, in a short period announce their 52d quarterly perform-
ance.—

My reason for addressing you on the subject, is to correct the
report of only one society being in existence in Liverpool.—
Begging the insertion of the above in your paper of to-mor-
row,
I remain yours, respectfully,
it A MEMBER OF THE L.M.S.

FlRE.—This morning, about two o'clock, a fire was disco-
vered in a joiner's shop at the hack of Mr. Cartmell's Machine
Manufactory, in Wood-street. From the inflammable nature
of the articles in the shop the fire quickly spread. Two of the
engines, with a body of firemen and Mr. Whitty, were soon
on the spot, and one was got into play; from the want of water,
however, not a drop being to be got, save from the water
carts, the engines were for some time inefficient, and the whole
building became gutted. Fortunately the fire was extinguished
without extending any further, a large warehouse being imme-
dirtely adjoining.
The following has been received from Lord Sandon, enclosing
the handsome donation of .C 25 towards the fund for establishing
schools in connexion with the Church of England ,
" Londw,, July 29.
" Dear Sir,—l have witnessed with admiration the noble
efforts which have been made in Liverpool for the purpose of
securing to a large portion of your population the blessing of a
sound religious education, and have been only deterred from
at once contributing 'my mite by the apprehension that the
smallness of my contribution might discourage others, who per-
haps have greater eans than myself, from making larger sa-
crifices for the object. I cannot, however, refuse myself the
pleasure of showing thy perfect accordance with the feeling
which has been displayed upon the subject by offering, through
you, as treasurer, a contribution of £25.
" Believe me, dear sir, yours, very truly, SA N DON."

CRICKET MATCH.—On Thursday next a match at cricket
will be played between the Everton and Rochdale clubs, on the
Liverpool -cricket ground, Wavertree-lane. the gentlemen of
that having kindly offered the loan of their ground on this
Occasion, wickets to be pitched at 10 o'clock.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.—We
have reason to believe that the Marquis of Salisbury will not be
able to preside at the annual dinner of this society in September
nest, the consent of his lordship, to which we alluded a few
weeks ago, having been given under an erroneous impression as
to the month in which the dinner was to take place. The Earl
of Wilton is expected to preside this year, and the Marquis of
Salisbury will most probably be the president for the next year.

We understand that a lot of land in Greenland-street, mea-
suring 700 square yards. has been bought as a site for the erec-
tion of the South School in connexion with the Church of Eng-
land.

THE POLICE COURT. Yesterday, at the Police-office,
there were no less than 150 persons booked to be brought before
the Magistrates, of which 49 were for felony !

LTCNCI/11 FRENCH ACADEMY.—We have very often heard
complaints that education, and accomplishments especially,
are expensive and laborious to acquire. It appears, however,
that a system has been adopted calculated greatly to remedy
both those difficulties. On Thursday evening last, Monsieur
Jules Lefebvre delivered, at the Lycwurn Lecture-room, 'a
lecture explanatory of the eclectic system of teaching, which
has originated with him and Monsieur De L'Osier. He re-
viewed the Jaeotot, Hamilton, and Dufief methods, and, so far
as we were able to judge, the best features of these and other
methods seem to be combined in the eclectic system. The
lecture was most respectably and numerously attended, and we
should imagine, from the satisfaction repeatedly expressed by
the audience, that the classes established for teaching on this
plan by these gentlemen will obtain such a number of pupils as
will prove the estimation iu which so desirable a system stands.
THE ZOOLOGICAL GAR DENS.—The spirited proprietor of
these gardens is preparing a novel exhibition for the Liverpool
public, Mr. Yates, the manager of the Adelphi Theatre Lon-
don, and his assistants have been engaged, and it is intended to
give an entertainment similar to those given in the Cheltenham
Pitville, and Bath Sydney Gardens. An appropriate erection
will be made in the gardens for this purpose. Mr. Yates will
give his celebrated "recollections" of the principal London
actors, and his delineations of the passions. This entertain-
ment will he enlivened by a concert, for which Miss Betts, of
the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, and Mr. W. H. Williams, the
comic singer, have been' engaged as principal vocalists. The
whole will conclude with a splendid exhibition of fire-works by
Mons. D'Ernst. The fete is to take place on Monday and
Tuesday next. We hope the weather will prove favourable,
and that this novel and spirited undertaking will answer the
expectations of the proprietor.
'DEFINITION OF A LUMPER.—Yesterday, in the Insolvent
Court, during the examination of a debtor named John M 'Avoy,
by Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, as to the trade of one of his
creditors of whom he had borrowed £2O, the debtor, whose flow
of language appeared rather scanty, described him as a man
that ~`dischargei and' loadi." The Commissioner. " What; is
he in the army ?" Debtor. " Shur, army, no shur ; he's a
he's ar— himperthey call that's id." -

THE MANCHESTER FESTIVA L.—The Journal of Saturday co.
pies part of an article on this subject from the Manchester
Advertiser, commenting in severe terms upon Sir Geo. Smart for
the miserable remuneration offered to the provincial vocal end
instrumental performers. However correct the charge' of inade-
quate payment may be, we are authorized in stating that Sir
George Smart has nothing whatever to do with it. Sir George
engages none but the instrumental performers from London,
whom -he brings down with him; all the other performers are
engaged by the respective committees. We understand that
the scheme of the festival will be out early next week.
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS.—We understand that
the land for the site of both these schools is purchased, and their
building will be commenced in a few days. We hive heard
that it is the intention of the conservative members to walk' in
procession when the first stones of the schools are laid. At
present there are in the North School 390 boys and 230 girls,
making a total of 620; in the South School 250 boys. 189
girls, and 65 infants, making .a total of 504. Upwards of £9BOO
has already been collected,- exclusive of subscriptions, which
amount to £250, for their erection and sup Port.
VESTRY MEETING, LOW-HILL.,— ti public, meeting of the
rate payers of certain parts of the township of West Derby, (that
have lately come under the operation of the act for watching and
lighting) situate at, and in the vicinity of Low-hill, was held at
the Public-office, Low-hill, on Thursday last, for the purpose of
examining and passing the accounts of the Inspectors for the
past year. Robt. Wright Wood, Esq., in the chair, The ac-
counts having been found accurate, were audited, and duly pas-
sed. On the motion of Mr. Grundy, and seconded by Mr. Vitt-
kinson, it was resolved that a call be made on the Overseers of
the poor for the sum of one hundred and thirty pounds, for the
expenses of lighting certain parts of the township for the cur•
rent year. Mr. John Jones was elected au Inspector, and Messrs.
J. W. Carter, J. W. Whitehead, and Thomas Clare, were re-
elected Inspectors for the year ensuing. The thanks of the
meeting were then unanimously voted to the Chairman for his
able and impartial conduct in the chair, and the business of the
meeting terminated.

ICEBERGS.—The ship Rachel, commanded by Mr. Moffitt, ar-
rived in this port on Friday from Sydney. She was beset with
icebergs on her voyage homeward, during the greater part of
the month of April, and was frequently in danger of being sunk
by the icy mountains which towered above her masts while she
lay near them becalmed. On the 21st of April, about 2 p.m.,
she was struck on both quarters with a large iceberg, which
broke and shattered its fragments over the quarter-deck, caus-
ing great dismay and confuhion on board, their escape from de-
struction appearing impossible. In the course of three hours,
with great perseverance at thepumps, she was got clear from the
ice, when it was discovered that considerable damage had been
done by the concussion. On the 23d April, at noon, she passed
within 'a quarter of a mile of a field of ice, at least •six-miles in
circumference, detached pieces' floating in all directions, .and
she with difficulty made sail through them.

. .
BOOTLE BAZAAR.—This bazaar, which we before have no-
ticed, got up for the purpose of paying off the debt far building
the Natidnal School, at Bootle, commenced on Thursday last,
arid continued until Friday night. Many of the ladies:Of, Li-
verpool, and most of the ladies in the neighbourhood) ceptri-
buted fancy articles, the work of their own delicate fingers,, for,
this benevolent object, and the various stalls presented a gay
and variegated appearance, the fair sellers doing their utmost to
set off- their fragile..stock to the best advantage, and, to.in_ theduce:
the visitors to purchase. Amongst tike most conspicuous of
fancy articles was a large screen covered with a variety of a
ricatures and prints; and an embroidered fire-screen iu on
gant mahogany frame, the work of Lady Stanley. There
also a pair of very elegantly embroidered hand st• leer_

and several other ladies of note whose names we did not learn.
—ln the north of the building a very handsome dessert was set
out, which was• presented to the bazaar by Mr. 'rowers, of the
Angel Inn:: this act of liberality contributed greatly to the re-
ceipts. The amount received on the first day at the door, and
for articles sold in the bazaar, was nearly £3OO. The second
day, during the early part, was not so crowded, but towards
evenin,o, the room began to fill and was very full before the close
Many-
of the articles were then got off by lotteties, which crea-
ted much amusement, the fair sellers using all their attractive
arts to induce the gentlemen, as long as a shilling remained in
their pockets, to become purchasers. The receipts on the se-
cond day were about £l5O, leaving altogether a very handsome
surplus after paying off the debt on the school, sufficient to af-
ford the master a handsome addition to his salary for sometime.
We doubt not, alter the success which has ;mewled this bazaar,
but this pleasing mode of "raising the wind" will be frequently
resorted to for accomplishing. similar objects. Since the clos-
ing of the bazaar, by subscriptions and by selling off many of
the things which remained, the total amount obtained has been
raised to £477.

A splendid map of the manufacturing districts, by Messrs.
Crutchley, of London, has just been completed. 'The scale
is one inch to a mile, and it is engraved on steel in the first
style of the art. The railways which intersect those most im-
portant districts are enclosed.so as to distinguish those that are
completed from those that are in progress or in contemplation.
The population of every city, township, and parish are given,
according to the latest parliamentary returns; and, at the same
time, the boundaries of the boroughs and of all the parishes are
distinctly marked and coloured.
Bot,zoN.—The number of buildings which have been in course
of erection during the last six months in Bolton and neighbour,
hood is wholly unprecedented, and nothing like a sufficiency of
bands can be obtained to supply the demand for labourers. ,At
this time cottages for families cannot be obtained. Mechanics
of every description are in full employment; and weaversi
specia of fancy goods are in great request.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.

This court opened On Saturday, before nenry Revell Rey-
nolds, Esq , his Majesty's chief commissioner for the relief of
insolvent delitors.

to my creditors.—What Were yoUr debts ! About £400.-=What
assets had you ? I gave up the shop and fixtures, the stock,
and the furniture, &c.—Of what value were they ? They sold
for .E 90.—1 dare say after this notable assignment of yours for
the benefit of your creditors, after the attorney's bill for exe-
cuting the assignment and the auctioneer's bill for selling the
goods were paid, nothing came to any creditors but the two as-,
signees; did you ever hear of any creditor getting a fraction ?
No, sir.—And that is the case with the majority of theie private
assignments for the benefit of creditors; "they should be called
private assignments for the benefit of attorneys and auctioners;

kept a beer house.—Perhaps it was for the men that were dead '
drunk in the beer house? No, sir; at the time I kept the beer
house several of the members owed me money-, and they ordered
me to be paid out of the fond, and I was so,----The commissioner
(to Mr. Venables:) Do you understand what he meats ? Mr.
VENARLES : No, indeed, I do not, unless he means that the.
funds of the society are buried in Michael Rourke. (Laughter.)
The commissioner: Explain that, debtor,.. will you ? The pe-
titioner : There were several of the members of the burial club
who owed me money, and they agreed to pay me out of the
funds of the society by iustalinents every month; and then the
secretary took the sense of the members against it, and said,
after I had got the money, it was not legal to give it roe, and
then they sued me for it.—The commissioner: They sued you
then for the debts that other people owed you. The petitioner :
Yes, sir.—The commissioner: It is the oddest society that I
have heard of for some time. Where is the list of your debts ?
Oh, here they are, I see, abotit 31 in number; all bad, and all
for ale. Where have you got them all ? How could you recol4
lect the names; you have no books? The petitioner : I had a
list; they were chalked down.—The commissioner: Where is
the list; where did you get it ? The petitioner: I gave it to
Mr. Davenpurt.—The commissioner : b 1 r. Davenport, have you
it? Mr. Davenport: No, sir. The petitioner: I made away
with it.—The commissioner: Were they all Irish ? The peti-
tioner : Yes, all Irish. (Laughter.)—Dennis O'Sullivan ?
Yes.—Paddy O'Rafferty ? Yes.—Phetim O'Roone ? Yes.—
Tim O'Doniihue ? Yes.— Here they are all, on a bit of paper ?
Yes.—And because these men did.not pay you £l5, they iin
prisoned you ? The costs made it up to £`s.—Are these men,
of which here 'is a list, all buried ? Sir! (Loud laughter.)—
Are all these men buried I see down here ? They are not bur
tied yet! they have not died.—Mr. LAWRENCE : From what I
can gather, he says the members of the club owed him money
for an ale debt, and he was paid out of the funds of the society ;
for which an action was brought by the society, and he was beat
in that action.—The commissioner: Well, I will let you out
alive now.—The petitioner: Thank you, sir.

REVISING. RARRISTRIIS.—We hear that ah intimation has
been „►iven-from the Home Office, to the senior judges of the
present assize circuits, in whom the appointment of revising
barristers for the current year is vested by the refonn.act.ilkat
their lordships should abstain from appointing any barrister to
revise the lists of any place which he had revised the last year.
MILITARY FLOGGING.—The total number of persons upon
whom corporal punishment has been inflicted since the issuing
of the circular, dated Horse Guards, 21th August, 1833, is 586,
of white 270 were for mutiny and insubordination, R) for drunk-
enness on duty, 139 for sale of- arms, 52 fur stealing from coal- •
rades, 47 for disgraceful conduct.

RA ILHOADs IN EGYPT.—A letter from Mr. Waghorn. dated
Alexandria, July Ist, says " The Suez railroad is not yet come
menced. Mr. Richard Galloway is occupied by the I its
laying down two railroads from some stone quarries near the
Marabout side of the harbour to the eater's edge, for the easier
transport of stone for the works now in in progress."

office, the other day, to a woman who was brought before him
• for being drunk and disorderly in Carpenter's-row. " I will, .
Sir, replied the culprit, adding in a tone that must have carried
conviction to the minds of the most sceptical, " for I have
pawned all my own and my children's clothes. nod I can get
nothing to drink." The wretch was discharged. •
DIVING.—A certain LorenzoGiorriano of Nininara, has found
the means of remaining for six hours at a time in the deepest
places at the bottom of the sea. with the power of walking at the
rate of a mile an hour. For his secret he asks the sole right of
doing this for two years, and the half of what he finds in his
submarine peregrinations.
FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES.—Since the 4th of July last;
the flag of the United States has been spangled with twenty-
six stars, two being added in consequence of the admission of •_
the states of Arkansas and Michigan into the Union. In 1818; .
the number of states being twenty, an act was passed, " That,
on the admission of every new state into the Union, one star be •
added to the Union of the Flag; and that such addition shall
take effect on the 4th day of July then succeeding that admis-
sion. " The thirteen stripes denoting the thirteen original states,
were on the admission of Vermont and Kentucky, increased to
sixteen ; but as the number of states was further enlarged, it
was perceived that the flag would not, eventually, admit of
at
a
stripe for each, and so an act was passed, fixing the nuintrthec 4th
thirteen, as before. The last added to the flag w
of July, 1832, in honour of the state of 11lissouria,sw°1'ich .was
admitted into the Union on the 10th August, 1821. The. star •.
for Maine was added on the 4th July, 1820.

THE NEW STEAM-BOAT NOVELTY.,--The recent successful,
expetirnent of driving this boat, of the largest class, with an- • -
thracite coal, against the tide, and a strong current from heavy
rains, at the rate of 16 miles in the hour,' has caused much re,
mark in our city, as an astonishing fact of :great importaicenoan_

" One rule sent down by the board of guardians is, that no
relief be granted to able-bodied labourers after the 21st ult.,
however large his family may be; and the only alternative held
out, except starvation, is, that the elder children may be sent
to one workhouse—the man and his wife, with the younger
children, to another ; but then in this other the man and his wife
are to be kept apart by stone walls. Another rule also is, that
no medical relief is to be afforded to the wife or children of an
able-bodied man, because relief to them is relief to him. If he
is himself ill, the medical officer is to attend, but his wife and
children are to be left to die. The guardians of the Petworth
Union have strongly remonstrated against the first of the above
orders, have begged to be allewed a discretionary power in ex-
treme cases of taking some of the children into the poorhouse,
and this their reasonable request has been absolutely refused.
They met yesterday, and unanimously resolved not again to
form a board, or in any way to make themselves the instruments
of such unheard-or-cruelties. More than 30 women attended
the board yesterday with cries and lamentations, and praying
that relief which the guardians are not permitted to give. I
suppose that it is in mere mockery they are called guardians."
And the same gentleman had since written to him as follows:
" Daily cases of great suffering are brought forward: one was
mentioned to me to-day, of a person king 'lB hours in excru-
ciating torture, fur want of that medical aid which was refused
to be ordered for him by the relieving officer, and which was at
length bestowed gratuitously by a medical man of this town,
who lives out of the union in which the poor creature was thus
relieved, from mctires of mere compassion. Under the present
system of medical treatment, or rather lack of treatment, man v
must die. First, the relieving officer is to be found—he may be
miles away; then the medical men, who may be as far off in
another direction. Meanwhile the father or mother of a large
family is dying in agony, or seeing one of their children in that
state.

He (Mr. Walter) should only add to these statements, that they
came from a gentleman who had no original objection to a
change in the administration of the law.
The SPEAKER wished to know whether this letter formed any
portion of the petition ?
Mr. WALTER replied in the negative.
The SPEAKER said, that if the hon. member wished to pro-
duce a general discussion on the subject of the poor-laws, the
course for him to pursue was to present this petition, to move
that it be printed with the votes, and then to give notice of a
day for taking it into consideration. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALTER said, that though, from the unwillingness of the
house to hear all that could be fairly said on this subject, he
must oniit much of what he had intended to state, this he would
say, that Lord Althorp had expressly declared in that house that
it was not intended to do away with outdoor relief in all cases.
How far the practice had coincided with the noble lords' profes-
sions, the hon. member said, the petition which he should now
have the honour to present painfully attested. It was signed by
two magistrates, by the rector of Petworth, by six other clergy-
men, of the neighbourhood, by thirteen guardians of the poor,
and nearly 300 rate-payers; and he (Mr. Walter) believed that
no petition had ever been presented which, from the severity of
the evils denounced by it, and the character and station of those
who denounced them, more thoroughly deserved the attention
of. the house. (Hear, hear.)
Major BEAUCIERK said, that he had been requested to support
the prayer of this petition, and he looked upon it as one that
was eminently deserving of the serious attention of the house.
Mr. WAELEY said, that it was with regret he saw that the
complaints of the poor met with such a reception in that house
—from a liberal parliament and a liberal ministry. If such
was to he a sample of what they were to expect from them here-
after, ho would say that the sooner there west.° be an end to.
such a liberal ministry the better. When the sufferings and
grievances under which the poor laboured were brought before
the house, the
greatest impatience was manifested by honour-
able.members. Now he felt it his duty to protest against such
a course of proceeding. He recollected that the other day when
a.petition was presented from three individuals who had beets
officers in the East India Company's service, there was a dis-
cussion that lasted for an hour and twenty minutes. When,
b
hpwever, the poor came before the house; the Utmost impa-
tience was manifested at their complaints, and the hon. memer
who had their petition in his charge, was scarcely 'able to sib-
tain a hearing. It appeared to him that such conduct wai any-
thing but creditable to the character of the house. The Com-
plaints as to the administration of the Poor Law Act.yaere
universal throughout the country. He would give some in-
stances which had reached himself. He was informed that in
the union of Stow-market, there being two old persons in the
workhouse, husband and wife, of when, the husband was blind,
the wife had not been allowed to attend her decrepid old part-
ner on his death bed until a special order came down for the
purpose from the Poor Law Commissioners in London. (Hear.)
Another fact was, that a woman who was neglected by the
medical man employed by the union for the space of two
months, sent for another practitioner to attend her. The poor
law officer shortly afterwards called upon her, and desired to
know who it was that she had employed; and on her informing
him, ho told her that unless she employed the person selected
by the union, her relief should be suspended. She was obliged
accordingly to do so. The disease with which she was affected
was one of great bodily suffering, and vet she was obliged to
give up the medical attendant of her choice. Unless she did
so she would have been consigned to starvation. Practices
such as these would not be long endured by the people of this
country, and it would be a disgrace to the Legislature if it did
not interfere for their protection.
Mr: HOME would appeal to both hon. members whether they
were not liable to be led astray by the representations of inter-'
tttut-Parties. He thought that the information given to his
7:2l_,friends, the member for Finsbury, would, uponinquir , he

after a division of 74 to 30.
The House then went into committee on the Greek loan act.
A message from the Lords brought up the Irish tithe bill, as
amended by their lordships, and, on the motion of Mr. RICE,
the amendments were read a first time, and ordered to be printed
and taken into consideration on Tuesday next.
After a division the report of the charitable trustees bill was
received, and the house was occupied for several hours in dis-
cussing various clauses.
Several divisions took place, but the report was ultimately
agreed to.
The House adjourned ata quarter-past two o'clock.
HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY.

The Marquis of CLANRIeARDS rose to renew the motion that
he Stafford Borough disfranCh4ement bill be read a second

The Loon CHANCELLOR observed that the bill raised this
question, whether or not the whole town should be disfranchised,
and to that he was prepared to give a negative, as a sufficient
case had not been made out. _ _

The House divided, when there appeared, for the second
reading (content) 4 ; for the amendment (not content) 55.

ESTABLISHEDCIIC/RCI4 BILL.

Viscount MELBOURNE, in proposing the second reading of
this bill, said it had been stated out of doors that the measure
went to create new episcopal sees. The fact was not so, neither
did its authors propose to introduce into parliamentany additional
ecclesiastical peers. It had been found that the sees of Glouces-
ter & Bristol might be advantageously united, as might those of
St. Asaph and Bangor. It had likewise long been matter of
great inconvenience and the cause of great complaint, that the
sees of York and of Chester should be so very large. Those two
latter sees it was proposed to divide into four, and to unite those
four first mentioned so as that they should form only two. Thus
there would be no addition made to the 1-louse of Lords, no in-
crease of ecclesiastical authority in that branch of the legislature,
nor would episcopal jurisdiction be in any way extended. On
that point there was a general misapprehension of the provisions
of the bill, and he wished to give to that a most distinct contra-
diction. To him it did appear that the opponents of the mea-
sure thought they had nothing to do but to retrench superfluities,
and they accused right rev. prelates on that commission with
gross cupidity and avarice, upon the ground of the recommen-
dations contained in the report—for those charges, he would as-
sert, there did not exist the shadow of foundation. Even
those who professed themselves dissenters from the- church
would rather it should remain established, than submit to the
dominancy of any of the sects into which the protestant commu-
nit) was divided. In defence of the amount at which they pro-
posed to fix the income of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he
thought he was justified in saving that the sum of £15.000 a
year was not too much, considering the state of society in this
country, the dignity which that prelate had to maintain, the
exercise of a becoming hospitality, of a fair and liberal contribu-
tion to charities, and, on the whole, for a genetous and credita-
ble expenditure.
The Marquis of CLANRICA RDE said his chief reason for op-1
posing the bill was that he did not regard it as likely to be a
final settlement of the subject.
The Bishop of ExEme. although he warmly assented to the
general policy of the bill, said that he thought instead of having
a septennial revision of the revenues of the sees, it would have
been much wiser to give the measure a permanent character,
and a security against repeated changes. 'He lamented also
that-thiecommission was te be made a corporation, because
there was no reason why it should be so, except for the purpose.
of making perpetual changes.
The Bishop of HEREFORD said that he felt this bill to he a
blow struck at the church, which would be so fatal that he fear-
ed it would never recover from its effects.
After some observat ions from the Archbishop of CANTERBURY,
;n reply to the Bishop of HEnEFoitn, relative to the provisions
of the bill, it was read a second time.
The !louse then adjourned.

The House of Commons last night exhibited a scene,
from which the humbler classes may learn how much they
have obtained in the way of either respect or protection
by ,that reform, in procuring which they, were the real
and only efficient agents. There never sat in Westmin-
ster, before the year 1832, a House of Commons so little
accessible to the petitions of the people, as the houses
that have sat since that year. The change from King
Arthur, in triumph, to the desponding and testy prince,
commanding—" Petition me, no petitions," was not more
violent than the change that has taken place in this re-
spect, in the temper and demeanour of "the people's
house."

While, indeed, Lord Canterbury continued to occupy
the speaker's chair, the natural kindness of his disposi-
tion, and the mild urbanity, inseparable from high birth
and conservative associations, greatly mitigated in effect
the repulsive and sullen (may we not call it selfish) arro-
gance of the majority of that house over which he pre-
sided. The representatives of the chandler-shoppety,
however, decided, with unconscious justice, that Sir
Charles Manners Sutton was no fitting representative for
them. They voted that incomparable public officer out
of the chair, and far be it from us to deny that they per-
fectly suited themselves in a successor. As the law of
parliament is now administered, the doors of the house,
which it was a boast, lay open to every petitioner, are
now kept as close as the door of a gaol. The supplicant
for relief or justice, if he come not in a gorgeous equi-
page, or followed by a boisterous mob, must stand out-
side until he and his petition be carefully scrutinised
through a grated wicket, with a turnkey scowl; and then
he can obtain the admission of his appeal, cnly upon
terms that is not to be read—not to he spoken of—in short,
that it is to go precisely fur nothing. The fact is, that
the effectual presentation of a petition, which used to be
the rule, is now the exception, and a very rare exception
too. And, what is the pretext for this insulting exclu-
sion of the people from "the people's house ?" What is
the reason given for this so serious—so unconstitutional
—abridgment of the rights of the British nation ? The
necessity, forsooth, of saving the time of the house—the
indispensable need of sparing.' the preciouB time of
Messrs. Silk Buckingham and O'Connell, T. Duncombe
and Ruthven, Poulter, Brady, Hume, and Gisborne, and
Ripon, and: the rest of t,lte radical "rump," and . Irish-
"tail." The time of the house! Why, to what good
purpose does the house turn its time? What has this
House of Commons done to prove that its time is better
employed than the time of those houses that were accus-
tomed cheerfully to receive, and dutifully to consider, the
petitions of the people?
A few absurd votes and abortive bills, barren of' every
use but the uses of faction, with a fair share of railroad
jobbing, and it may be, one profitable law. in the session,
have for several years made up the annual sum of the
work of these Houses of. Commons, so frugal of their
time. Bnt to speak with temper of this pretended eco
homy of time, on the part of an assembly that listens to
the prolix nothings of Lord J. Russell, Messrs. Poulter,
Silk Buckingham, and Co., and to the empty belloWings
of Mr. O'Connell and his " tail"--to speak of the eco-
nomy of time by such. an, assembly,, with common pa
tience, were to play the part of hypocrites. We will,
therefore turn at once to last night's proceedings.
Mr. 'Walter, whom the Morning Chronicle sneeringly
but truly calls " the poor man's magistrate," and who, to
that high and honourable title may add the no less high
and honourable title of the poor man's parliamentary
protector, presented a petition from the magistrates,
clergy, landowners, guardians of the poor,.and other in-
habitants of Petworth and the adjacent parishes, com-
plaining of, the harsh and cruel conduct pursued towards
the poor, in• the enforcement of the new Poor-laws Act ;
more particularly complaining, that while on the One
side all out-of door relief was absolutely refused, the
poor who sought relief in the workhouses were compelled
to a complete domestic separation. Mr. Walter, while

may have beel; courteous as far as mere manner goes,
but which certainly appears upon paper the very opposite
of candid or civil. The hon. member for Berkshire, how-
ever, is not a man elqiy put down ; he persevered firmly,
and extracted from the speaker an explanation of the rule
respecting petitions, which must clearly derronstrare to
every one that Mr. kberminby's interruption way : alto-
gether irregular and nu s.:llled for. The title as laid down
is this—that a petition upon a subject actually before the
house, and therefore, in course, of a full discussion is to
be merely read and presented; but that a petition upon'
a matter to which the attention of the house is not other-
wise directed, admits a fuller latitude of explanation. No
one can reasonably quarrel with this rule, the effect of
which is merely to prevent multiplied discussions arising .

TIMBER SHIPS FROM CANADA.—We are glad to learn from
our correspondent at Sunderland, that a meeting of the sub-
scribers of the Mutual Insurance Marine Policies Company has
just been held the're, and that the following amongst other re-
gulations, for the ensuing year, was adopted :—" That ships
from America be allowed to load not more than two loads of
timber ur deals, on deck, to the keel, as entered in the mutual
policies, on the summer voyage (seventeen load per keel.) In
case any vessel do load more on the summer voyage, or proceed
homeward with a-deck load, after the Ist of October, the owner
to pay a premium of £5 per cent. on the sum insured, whether
any damage happen or.not, and to be uninsured until the same
is paid." By this regulation, a ship of 20 keels burthen, or
about 260 tons, is limited to forty loads of deck timber in sum-
mer, and is prohibited from carrying any in winter, without in-
curring a penalty. By the former regulations vessels were un-
restricted in the amount of their deck load' all the year; and
ships of the burthen just named have been known 'to carry 70
loads of deck timber, and other vessels have carried as much in
proportion to their burthen. We are greatly surprised that
such a regulation as that adopted by the Sunderland company
has not been determined on by the underwriters very long
since,—for nothing can be more certain, than that the practice
of carrying deck loads has been the immediate cause of the loss
of a large number of ships employed in the North American
timber trade. A vessel laden with fir timber, and carrying .a
deck load, in addition to her, cargo, is necessarily placed in the
greatest jeopardy in crossing the Atlantic. It is all top-weight,
and if a sea strike it on the beam, it is a hundred to one that
she is not cansized.—Shipping Gazette.
LEGAL ETIQuETTs.—In the course of a trial at Derby
assizes on Tuesday last, before Mr. Baron Park, there was a
good deal of bickering between the different counsel engaged
in the cause, to which his lordship kindly. lent his aid; and ob-
serving the defendant's attorney whispering to his counsel, the
learned judge complained much of solicitors thus, " ear-wig-
ging" counsel, which he stated to be quite a modern practice,
and one that he himself never would endure; indeed, on one
occasion, he recollected the late Sir Vicary Gibbs, when at the
bar, on being thus ear-wigged, giving his attorney such a terri-
ble slap on the face, that it would have rung throughout Derby ;
and he (Mr. Justice Park,) who was present, was never so
frightened in his life. The attorneys did not seem to relish the
anecdote.

HOUSE OF COM MONS.—Faina v.
Mr. F. BUXTON having inquired what steps had been taken
by the local authorities in India to carry into effect an import-
ant provision in the present East India charter bill,
• Sir JOHN HonnorsE said be the charter thequilestinof
slavery was left entirely to the local authorities i India.
When the discussion on the charter took place, it was consider-
ed that such an abolition would interfere with the social condi-
tion of the people—domestic slavery prevailing to a great ex-
tent, especially in Bengal ; and that if they abolished there
what in this country was called slavery, they would open the
door to many evils, and excite a general commotion throughout
that province. It was also considered that such a measure
would be contrary to the tenour of the treaties into which we
had entered with•the native powers-under our protection. It
was, therefore, thought better to leave the matter in the hands
of the local authorities.
Mr. BUXTON said his impression was, that slavery was to be
put an end to in India, and that, if this was an erroneous im-
pression, the fact would create a strong feeling throughout the
country.
Sir JOHN Hosiionsr said that a direct interference with
slavery in India would he most difficult and dangerous.
Sir A. L. HAY brought in a bill for making a harbour and
docks at Trinity. This was the third bill brought in upon the
same subject, the two former having been rejected.
The Loon A rivocaTs said there was no precedent for grant-
ing such an indulgence as the suspending of the standing or-
ders fora private bill of this description, and he hoped the matter
would be finally disposed of by rejecting the motion.
Sir G. Clerk and Sir G. Strickland also opposed the motion,
and the Speaker having intimated that he did not consider this
a case deserving the favour of the house, Sir A. L. Hay with- •
drew the bill.
