The Irish Church Temporaities bill-Qhe
Church Spoliation Bill, as the Conservatives call
it,)-received its third and last reading IN the
House Of Commons on the 9th OF July. Seve-
raj attempts were made by the ultra Wings to
amend the bill, but they were unsuccessful; and
the bill was passed.
II is stated FROM a source entitled to conside-
ration, that it has been fully determined by the
High Tory Peers, to give this bill an unqualified
opposition in the House Of Peers, and thus at
once bring the question whether the Lords iorm
a substantive aud efficient branch OF the Legs
lature, TO an issue. Should the Duke OF wei
ineton bring his forces thus in opposition to the
Ministry on thus question, the crisis VIII nave
arrived which will determine the strength oil
Earl Grey. and probably, also, the still greater
question of revolution. The Conservatives ap.
near to think that the sooner this crisis arrives,
the better for themselves if not not for the coun-
try; and they anticipate it with good degree
of confidence.
Looking forward to such crisis in the Lords.
il is stated that Earl Grey has in his pocket,
ready to produce on occasion, hfty.sx prox'

The administration has lost two votes by the de-
mise of the Earl Of Pomfret and Lord King,
aud as the Earl Of Mulgrave,* by his absence
from the country, has not been able to take the

Mr.. STANLEY stated that as the slavery bill
was not vet printed aud ready, and "a both sides
objected to going on with II upon so short no.
tice on Wednesday next, he would give way to
his right honorable friend, (Mr. G. Grant,) on
that day, for moving the second reading OF the
East India bill; and be would postpone the sec

TaIue of Siares.-The indemnity to the
West Indians is said to be estimated at one'thrd
value of the slaves-viZ: one third Of an able

ditto, a child. 9lO. Putting the three sums to-

O, this subject we observe the London Stand.
ard, IN referring to the West India question,
has received the following information, which
threatens the whole emancipation project, at
least for the present:
"The kind Of compromise which the govern
ment had made with the colonial delegates and
West India Planters, merchants, and shipown-
ers, has been broken up, chiefly in consequence
of an attempt to include the slave owners OF
Honduras, the Cape Of Good Hope, and, we be-
lieve, the Mauritius, as partners in the division
of the twenty milions-thus farther reducing
their inadequate dividend to the actual West
India proprietors. However, this, and most OF
the other questions that the House Of Commons
has been idly dallying with through the Session,
are in danger Of an untimely end-fro'n an ex-
plosion, the premonitOry symptoms OF which,
have been thickening within the last week or ten
days"
The Council of the London and Westminster
Political Union have determined to dissolve the
Union. The expenses, we understand, have
for some time past exceeded the income. We
hear that the library. SC, are to be sold in
order to cover the expenses which have been in

PORTUGAL.
The cause of Donna Maria is Frightening. BY
the annexed letter fron our London Correspon-
dent, dated on the Evening Of July 9th, we have
a confirmation Of the troops having landed. one
corps at Lagos. q second at Faro, and third at
Trsyiro, without any opposition from the inhab.
itants. A small vessel OF war and three or four
gun boats had been captured at the mouth Of the
Guadiana without any resistance. Indeed it ap.
pears that there was no force in that part OF the
Country capable Of any resistance. The Consti.
tutiouaIists experienced some resistance at Faro
but they were successful with the capture OF
FORTY pieces Of cannon, $4,000, and 400 men; and
the Inhabitants seemed TO be generally esPousing
the cause Of the Queen.
