bishops of Canterbury" is a highly valuable document. We
have been highly gratified with the remarks on "The Bless-
ings of the Church." They are calculated to inspire a strong
feeling of attachment towards the Church of England. The
observations on " Socialism" are judicious and well-timed.
" The Pope at Work in England" ought to act as a warning
to lukewarm Protestants. The remaining articles in The
Churchman arc excellent, and well worth a careful perusal.

We cordially recommend this truly orthodox, useful, and
interesting miscellany to the support of every Churchman.
The present number contains some very affecting details re-
specting the " Protestant Exiles of the Valley of the Ziller ;"
a well-written tract on " Confirmation ;" some curious anec-
dotes respecting " Church Bells ;" and several other articles
adapted for popular perusal, and designed more especially for
the edification of the humbler classes.

the Council has damaged itself much more in public
estimation, by providing for a lot of needy persons, the
fungi of the Reform Association, (to the exclusion of
every man who happened to be a Conservative,) than
it will do by raising the salary of Mr. Okill, who is
universally respected, and whose conduct has made
him a deserved favourite with gentlemen of all parties.
The Chronicle was dumb some time ago, when the
Surveyor, Mr. Franklin, got an increase of salary.
How was this ? Surely it could not be because Mr.
Franklin is a Whig or something more ! And we
think better of our contemporary than to suppose that
his waspish opposition to Mr. Okill arises from the
circumstance of that gentleman being a Conservative !
We have no doubt but the "boobies" of the Finance
Committee (amongst whom we perceive some honour-
able names, notwithstanding we differ from them poli-
tically) will do what is right, and that the majority of
the Council will sanction their decision, notwithstand-
ing the denunciations of the Chronicle.

One thing seems pretty evident, namely, that the
Council will soon become, like Lord Grey's Cabinet,
so shorn of its respectable members, that the fag-end
only will be left of the Whig members : for it can
hardly be expected that respectable men like Mr. Cur-
rie, Mr. Hornby, and others, will submit to language
such as we have quoted, without wishing to separate
from such questionable and " good-natured" friends.
The testimony borne by Mr. Shen to the integrity
and economy of the late Corporation is becoming every
day more general.

The following Members took the oaths and their seats :
Mr. Manners Sutton, for the borough of Cambridge ; Lord
Claude Hamilton, for Tyrone ; Mr. Greg, for Manchester;
Mr. F. Baring (Chancellor of the Exchequer), for Ports-
mouth ; and Mr. Wyse, for Watpford..

NEW WRITS.
New writs were ordered for the following places :—Daven-
port, in the room of Sir E. Codrington ; Birmingham, in
the room of Mr. T. tttwood, who has accepted the Chiltern
Hundreds ; and Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. Macauley,
appointed Secretary at War.
On the writ being moved,
Mr. DISRAELI rose and said, that on the day of the pro-
rogation of the last session of parliament, he asked upon what
principles of the new Cabinet would be constructed, and he
now begged to ask upon what principles it had been construct-
ed. (Hear, hear.) He thought the present a very proper
oppdrtunity for giving the required explanations. Since the
Reform Act passed 12 lnembers of the Cabinet had left it,
and he was really at a loss to know who were her Majesty's
ministers. (A laugh.) Perhaps the Cabinet ministers would
hold up their hands. (Laughter.) He now repeated the
question, and hoped ,he should get an answer.
The SPEAKER then put the question that the writ be issued,
which was agreed to without opposition.
New writs were also ordered for Penryn, Newark, South-
wark, Meath, Denbigh, and Beverley.

THE WILLIAM HUSKISSON.

We have great pleasure in publishing the subjoined letter
from the Underwriters, to Messrs. Charles Horsfall and Son,
the owners of the Huddersfield. TD such of our readers as
may be unacquainted with marine insurances, it may be ne-
cessary to state, that a departure from the direct course, ex-
cept in cases of absolute necessity, vitiates all policies effected
upon a vessel.—ln the present instance, Captain Clegg dis-
regarded all other considerations except the saving of human
life, and his exertions were met with a corresponding feeling
by those whose pecuniary interests his active humanity very
seriously put in jeopardy

(copy.)
" Liverpool, January 17, 1840.
"Messrs. Charles Horsfall and Son,
" Gentlemen,—We beg to inform you, on the part of the
Underwriters, on your policies per Huddersfield, from this
to Africa, they very highly approve of the humane and cou-
rageous conduct of Captain Clegg, in rendering assistance to
the passengers and crew of the steamer William Huskisson,
by which means he saved ninety-three lives, at considerable
risk of his own vessel.

" And the Underwriters further desire us to state, that
under these circumstances they will cheerfully pay for repair-
ing the damages sustained by being in collision with the
steamer, without requiring the usual deduction of one-third
for new in place of old materials.—Your obedient servants.

each) was opened for the purpose of presenting Captain
Clegg with a piece of plate ; and, although up to Monday
afternoon the subscription list had only been placed in the

hundred subscribers ; and we have no doubt, when opened
generally to the public, that the subscriptions will be very
materially augmented.
This afternoon a subscription (limited to 2s. Gd. each) was

has been met with an equally liberal spirit.
