THE CHRISTIANITY OF 11th REFORMATION THAT OF ,THE
FIRST AFOSTLES.-111 the fourth voluintre of the lite of Cowper
the poet, just published, there is a letter in answer to a youvg,
man who sought advice as to the nature and pursuit of his studies,
from which we extract the following :—"To speak in very
general terms on the subject, it seems to me that your chief
concern is with history, natural philosophy, logic, and divinity.
'As to metaphysics, I know little about them. 4ut.the very little
that Ido know has not taught me to. admire them. Life is too
glorious

ignorance. The di v inns of the re-
formation is called calvinism, but injuriously. It has been that
of the Church of Christ in all ages, it is the divinity of St Paul,
and of St Paul's master, who met him in his way to Damascus."
FRACAS AT THE CusTost:tiorsn.—Lost week a fcifeign no-
bleman of very distinguished rank and holding a high office in
the household of his sovereign, arrived in this country from'the
Continent, charged, as we are informed, on a special diploiniitic
mission. On arriving at the Custom-house, with his carriage
and a numerous domestic establishment, some hesitation arose
-as to payment of the duty on the carriage, the foreign count
contending that his diplomatic capacity and rank exonerated
bins from the payment. 'the Custom-house oteers were unani-
mous in their• decision that the'duties must be paid; mid the
carriage. &c. remain to abide the decision of higher anthoi-ities.
The duty on the carriage was paid, under protest; but
of nearly £2O being demanded On a silver ewer and basin,
which the count invariably travels with for his own perstinal
comfort and convenience, he resolutely refused either to pay
the sum demanded, or leave the articles in possession of the
Custom-house authorities. In consequence of which the latter,
we are informed, proceeded to demolish the plate, and render
it useless for anything hilt coming Under the denomination of
" plate of foreign manufacture." The nobleman, highly itrdir,
nant at this uncotirteous treatment, went instattter to one of the
principal embassies to make a remonstrance to the repreiailita-
tive of his sovereign, on what he considetsan insult to his person
and the government to which he belongs. The broken- silver
ewer and basin the count preserves as a memento of "Berth
hospitality." The matter is in a course of investigation.—

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY
NEW POOR LAW ACT.
Lord TEYNHAM rose in pursuance of his notice to move fur
a return of the number of commitments and convictieus iu the
the different counties of England and. Wales for offences against
the poor law amendment act. The noble lord stated that his
reason for making this motion was the strung feeling which
existed in the county of Kent with reference to the proceedings
which had taken place under the new act—proceedings which
were unnecessarily severe; He had from the first reprobated
this bill, and pointed out the evils likely to result from it, and
was perfectly convinced that its operation would effectually de-
stroy the character of the people of this country. The moral
feeling of the great mass of the pophdation was the best support
which their lurdshipe could have in their hour of need. That
hour, perhaps, was fast approaching when noble lords opposite
inieht feel it necessary to call on the peasantry of Eugland for
assistance and protection.
The noble lord's motion was negatived without a division.
MR. HOGG'S PROTEST.
Viscount Mato:mos said, with reference to a question which
had been put on a former evening respecting M.r. Hogg's pro-
test, that the secretary of state nut having received the protest
in question, he knew of no other way in which it could be laid
before their lordships, except it were embodied in a petition.
He did not, however, approve of such a proceeding.
The Earl of Pen et:l).ex said that he himself had presented to
the holist a .protest or report from Sir Francis Palgrave, and
wanted to know what was the difference in the situation of the
two parties, that allowed the protest of one commissioner to be
received, bat caused the other to be rejected. He conceived
that Mr. Hogg's statement bad as good a title to be received as
that. he Sir Francis Palgrave. Of the paper drawn up by Mr.
Hogg he knew nothing; but if it at all resembled the document
that came from Sir Francis Paigrave, it was very important
that it should be produced. He felt cow/Weed that they would
lose much iu the discussion of this subject, it the paper in ques-
tion were not iu their lordships' possession.
Viscount Meerrouent said that the protest alluded to by the
:Earl of Aberdeen had been received in error. The present
lord chief baron of the exchequer, when at the bar, had moved
Tor a criminal information against Mt. Hogg for his conduct.
while acting as a commissioner.
Lord Lyre DH RST.—The noble vi.,count ought to have stated
that the rule fin a criminal information against Mr. Hogg had
been refused or discharged, so that he stood as clear from im-
putation as he was before the charge was made. When the re-
port of the commissioners was preparing, an opportunity of
attending should have been given to all of them. Wheu his
Mhjesty issued a commission, appointing commissioners, or a
certain number of them, to make an inquiry, and to report on
that inquiry, it must have been meant that all the commissioners
should have an opportunity of delivering their opinions. Haw
did they know, if the arguments contained in the papers alluded
to had been urged on the etther commissioners, that they might
not have had the effect of niducing them to alter their report?
(Hear, hear.) It appeared to him contrary to justice to ex-
clude Foul an inquiry of this important nature the opinion of
cue of those commissioners, whose province it bad been to in-
Cesthhate the affairs of some of the most important corporations.
In order that their lordships might come to a correct conclusion
on this subject, it was necessary that this document should be
laid before them.
Lord SEILLMSP.SPALE felt partihularly anxious for the pro-
• duction of this report, on account of his counection with a
county, some towns in which were not fully noticed in the docu-
ment before parliament, in consequence of Mr. Hogg not
having coincided in the course taken by the other commis-
sioners. They knew not what the opinion of Mr. Hogg was,
and such a town as Liverpool ought nut to be thus sightly
treated.
Viscount Mee uourthe believed that the secretary for the
home department was not likely to change his opinion and re-
ceive Mr. Hogg's statement. Ho did nut mean to make any
insinuation against Mr. Hogg by alluding to the proceedings
that had been taken against him.
The Earl of Devoe/ thought the best eieurse would be to ap-
point a select committee to inquire into all the facts and cir-
cumstancee under which the existing report was framed.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE made some observations to the same
effect, with which the conversation closed.
CATHOLIC MARRIAGES lIILL—MR. Id AC DERMOT.
The Marquis of CLANRIGALIDV. postponed the second reading
of this bill until Monday next. 'the noble marquis took that
opportunity of denying in the most positive mariner on the part
of Mr. Macdermot, that that learned gentleman had ever used
the language imputed to him, and that he had ever written or
spoken what had been given as a report of his speech.
The Bishop of EXETEO.—The statement he bad made on a
former occasion was founded on the authority of a clergytnan
of the church of Eugland, who had been intrusted with a mis-
' sion to this country by his diocesan the Archbishop of Tuata.
The speeph of Mr: Macdermot to which he referred was deli-
vered at a public meeting held its the town of Castlereagh on
the 4th November, 11127. The report of the speech had been
verified by the reporter and by three other respectable persons
who were present when it was delivered. The reverend pre-
late then read the following extract from the speech:—
: aAs soon as he (William Macdermot, Esq.) took the chair,
be stated that the reason of their assembling there was to pre-
alma a Memorial to the lord lieutenant, in order to get the
constabulary police broke fur their interference in cootroversial
doettinet, and giving bibles and tracts; and, finally, fur their
gallant captain, contrary to his duty, making a police barrack
att itzglum for perverts,—[A noble lord said, What?' fhe
Bishop of Exeter replied, • Pervert he would not call her a
cuitvert.l—and a prison for illegally detaining children from
. their parents; therefore we are assembled together in order to
adept meaeuree to tame their fanaticism. Gentlemen, the un-
happy wretch (Miss Bourke) who is the occasion of our assem-
bling here to-day was seduced, or rather perverted, by that
uefariuus, puny, insiguilicerit legislator of Bellvmore—a ma-
gistrate naioect Baggot. (Shouts of applause.) This fiend nut
only did this, but he goes about with a tract in one hand and
money in the other, in order to accomplish his pestiferous ends.
He goes further, for, if be miss one of the children from the
school, he takes the bible in one hand and his sword in the
other; when he goes in, if he find none in the house, be will
pierce his naked sword down through the bed. (Sheuts.) Gen-
tlemen, he proceeds still further : if this fail him, he will take
the sword In one hand and a coal of lire in the other. I say,
gentlemen, should uut this man be held up to the contempt of
the people (Deafening shouts.) But, gentlemen, one wuul4
think that this pefarious wasp had some wisdom in his head,
and certainly; if we are to measure brain by the circumference
of the skull, he must be possessed of a very extraordinary one.
(Shoats and clapping.) But, gentlemen, this insignificant
wretch stood not alone iu his endeavours to raise a disunion in
the minds of the people; for be lies a low, poor, grovelling, ill-
' coloured, demoniacal, clerical mountebank, .who was chased
from diocese to diocese for his schism. Gentlemen, this puny,
ill-coloured runaway wrote certain letters in which the catholic
religion is set up to ridicule; and I say m)i friends, front the
authority of the Attorney-General, that any person ridiculing
the people should be brought to public trial as a nuisance to
society. (Shout of applause.) Gentleinen, this poor little mon-
key slily and insidiously insinuated himself into the police bare
race, and openly and publicly calumniated the cathode religion,
thinking, poor fihnd, that the gallant captain would write every
affectionate letter ti his noble cousin (the Archbishop of Tuam)
about his vigilance and zeal, and be partly the means of procur-
ing for this arch-hungry fiend some part of the green acres.
But, gentlemen, our memorial will be before the lot d-lieutenant
in a few days, and, as he is a man of candour and honesty,
wholly divested of prejudice, we will get a bearing. Thank
God! Goulburn is out; if' it were not so, I would um stand here
this day. While he was in, if he petitioned daily, none of
tllem would be presented. But now we hope to be health and
are confident that we will bring one of the King's parsons to a
sense of his duty, (laughter,) and, if possible, to have both cap-
tain and pulicebruke. lam sure your great and good clergy-
wan, Mr. Quin, daily warns you against these abominable
schools. Dread not their tyranny; What is the catholic
rent for? I hope there is we protestant who will be so inhu-
miri as to turn any person out of his land fur his religion ;
.1. In which sentiment (said the right reverend prelateh I fully
euncur9—and, if lie dues, we will be at the necessity of hold-
ing him up to the ridicule of the public; and, iii great as
the authority of the landlord or agent is, pei haps they will
ill brook the consequence. But, gentlemen, I did not say
that Stoney was that fiend of fanaticism and proselytism
who is protected by the pence; but we will shortly have
him suspended, and, if not, we must be necessitated to hold
him up to the ridicule of the multitude. (Shouts.) Gentle-
nieu, we have funds enough, we will setup schools in opposition
to them ; we will try all means to rebut their schools, and'if we
canout do it by these means, does any one think that 7,000,000
. will be held in trammels, and thwarted in their purposes, by a
handful of men ?" That speech was priuted in the Roscommon
and Leitrim Gazette, and reprinted in other Irish papers home-
- diately afterwards. That speech had the effect of exciting the
people to attack with great violence a clergyman of the church
of tengland, onaceuunt of the part he had taken, er was sup-
posed to have taken, iu the protectiun of the female in question,
*has* cenelect wits represented as the effect of seduction, al-
though she was of full age to judge for herself; and though it
was nut pretended that any art or falsehood was practised, or
any coercion used, yet the occurrence was described in the
' terms he had" quoted. After the delivery of that speech, Mr.
Macdermot was chaired by the people and treated with every
slemonetration-of respecteand uti' lie bad become the object of
government patronage, and was included as a member of avert'
important comrniseion, for which the speaker of such a speech
would by most persons be deemed wholly unfit. Having made
these few observations—having referred to the certificate of per-
sons present at tine meeting, verifying the report to which, in-
deed, the reporter himself professed himself ready to make oath,
he left their lordships to judge on which side the evidence pre-
pondereted.
• The Marquis of C re.aeterce EIDE said, that after so long an In-
terval it was rather hard to press for censure and condemna-
tion against a gentleman on account of language which he al-
together denied.
