THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England have issued
a report, in which they state, that having considered how
provision may be best made for the cure of souls out of the
limited amount of money at present at their disposal, in con-
formity with the intent and meaning of the acts 3 and 4
Victoria, c. 113, and 4 and 5 :Victoria, c. 39, have resolved
to recommend to Her Majesty in Council :
" That grants be made either in augmentation of the in-
come of, or towards providing fit houses of residence for, the
incumbents of certain benefices and churches with cure of
souls—that is to say, being either parish churches, or churches
or chapels with districts legally belonging or assigned thereto,
in certain classes, subject to limitations now made, or here-
after to be made ; the commissioners reserving to themselves
a right to decline recommending a grant in any case in which,
from special circumstances, they may be of opinion that it is
not expedient.
" That the first class consist of grants made unconditionally
to benefices or churches, with cure of souls, as aforesaid,
being in public patronage—namely, in the patronages of Her
Majesty (either in right of the Crown, or of the Duchy of
Lancaster, or of the Duke of Cornwall), of any archbishop
or bishop, of any dean and chapter, dean, archdeacon, pre-
bendary, or other dignitary or officer, in any cathedral or
collegiate church, or of any rector, vicar, or perpetual curate,
as such ; and that this class of grants be for the present li-
mited to raising the annual average net incomes to the fol-
lowing amounts respectively, according to the scale of
population prefixed thereto viz.:—
Population amounting to 2,000, income £l5O
1,000, 120
And so soon as the funds are sufficient, of which due notice
will be given—
Population amounting to 500, income £lOO
- be10w....... 500, 80
"That the second class consist of grants made to bene-
fices or churches with cure of souls, as aforesaid, whether in
public patronage or in private patronage, namely. any pa-
tronage whatsoever, other than upon condition of such grants
being met by benefactions from other sources, either paid to
the commissioners on account of the same benefices or
churches, or secured in perpetuity to the incumbents thereof ;
and that this class of grants be for the present limited to
cases within the following scale of population and income,
viz :—Population amounting to 2,000, income below £2130;
population amounting to 1,000, income below £l5O.
" That the third class consist of grants made to benefices
or churches with cure of souls, as aforesaid, in consideration
of their being situate within the places in which any tithes
vested in the commissioners, or any tithes in lieu of which
lands or other hereditaments vested in them were allotted
or assigned, arise, or have hitherto arisen ; such grants not
in any case exceeding the actual value of the tithes, lands' or
other hereditaments, in respect of which the same shall be
made."
The commissioners have also agreed to certain regulations
respecting grants towards providing houses of residence.
They are as follows :
Grants towards purchasing or erecting houses of residence
will, for the present, be made only to meet benefactions from
other sources, except in cases corning within the third class
and other special circumstances.

All benefactions must be paid to the commissioners before
they can enter into any arrangement either for purchase or
for rebuilding.
Every house proposed to be purchased must be surveyed
by the architect of the commissioners, and every new house
must be built according to his designs and under his exclu-
sive superintendence, the commissioners entering into the
necessary contracts.
Plans approved by the commissioners have been trans-
mitted to the several archdeacons, diocesan registrars, bishop's
secretaries, and chapter clerks, with a request that they will
allow them to be inspected by the clergy ; and the plans may
also be seen at the office of the commissioners.
Before a contract for- building is entered into, reasonable
variations in these plans may be allowed, to meet local or
other pecularities ; but no extensive deviation from the gene-
ral design of the commissioners will be permitted, nor any
alteration which is calculated to entail anditional expense
upon succeeding incumbents.
In meeting benefactions towards providing a house, a ge-
neral rule of proportion will be observed, by which a house
built according to the plans of the commissoners (painted,
papered, and fitted with grates, bells, &c.), being about
£9OO, the benefaction required will be about £450 in cases of
public patronage, and about £450 in cases of private
patronage.
Should the benefaction and grant together exceed the cost
of the house, the balance will be applied towards the per-
manent augmentation of the income.
The absolute gift of a house will be considered as a bene-
faction, so as to be met by a grant in augmentation of in-
come.

Neither the incumbent, nor any other person on behalf of
the benefice, will be subject to any law expenses (except in
completing a title), nor to any other costs or charges beyond
the actual amount of the benefaction.

THE DUCHESS DE BERRT.

The Charivari publishes the following letter from Deutz,
the betrayer of the Duchess de Berri :
"Let the Royalists overwhelm me with their contempt, I
have not the strength to complain; but those who, after
having incited my treason, have so well turned it to their
profit, ought, in my opinion, to be the last to throw the stone
at me. I allow that all the world ate justified in calling me
infamous, yet there are some whom I regard as more infa-
mous than myself. Yes, Sir, let it be well known that all has
not been told on the crime to which I had the misfortune to
lend my name. Simon Deutz was willing to accept all the
responsibility of the act. for the miserable sum which was
paid for it. But a day will perhaps come when the veil, which
now covers that terrible machination will be torn away, and
each one will assume the part which belongs to him in the
odious creme of 1832. In the meantime I can only beg the
Orleanist journals to speak of me with a little more modera-
tion. If they calculate better the bearing of their insults,
they will doubtless comprehend that Simon Dentz has been
in the hands of certain exalted personages but a vile instru-
ment, and they will judge it proper to keep silence on his
account. The police, they say, are fatigued with my impor-
tunities. lam really desolate. Have I not had reason in
my time to complain of the importunities of the police ?
Alas! was it not their cowardly and perfidious solicitations
that robbed me of my honour, and it can be readily conceived
that, however importunate I may now be to them, I have not
the means of treating them in a similar manner. Strange!
The police now despise me. They appear to blush at my
acquaintance ; but if I had not been followed by them with
M. Thiers at their head, who will dare to say that I should
not now have been an honest man ? Remove M. Thiers and
M. de Montalivet from the history of my life (I will for the
moment only name those two), and I should remain what I
always wished to be, the loyal and faithful servant of the
august princess who had ever loaded me with kindness.
How can they then escape from the odium that is cast upon
me, who, by their infernal seductions,have so cruelly led me
on to ruin ? What ! shall the assassin, who for a piece of
money murders a man at the corner of a street, be reputed
infamous, whilst he who placed the poniard in his hand and
paid him the price of the murder, is allowed to walk with
head erect and quietly reap all the profits of the crime ?
" As to those honest men who cannot pronounce my name
without a shudder, I ask of them neither pardon nor pity;
and nevertheless, if they would be just, they would look on
my part of the infamy as less glaring, and give a part to those
who deserve it. This would only be distributive justice.
(Signed) " SIMON DEUTZ."

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 28.
The demand for cotton to-day is a full average one, but in
the lower descriptions of American from 44-d. to 41d. The
market is barely supplied, and buyers have some difficulty in
purchasing exactly to their mind. The sales of the week
amount to 27,860 bales, of which 10,000 are on speculation,
leaving but a partial weekly supply for the trade.

COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER pl.
Our Cotton market has assumed a more animated appearance
fer the last few day s. On Saturday the sales amounted to 4100
bales, and to-day about the same quantity, at the full prices of last
week, with a steady market. The acounts from the 'States has had
no direct influence in the market, and the business transacted to
day is much on a par with that of Saturday.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
There has been a good demand all the week from the trade, and
Speculators have also purchased to some extent; in many instances
an advance of id per lb has been obtained on low and middling
qualities of American, and common Surat have also sold freely at
an improvement of Id per lb. Brazil, Egyptian and Laguayra con-
tinue heavy of sale at the reduced quotations. Speculators have
taken 6f.00 Surat, and Exporters 300 American.
