would then ratify the hesvsn-born maxim
..honesty l. the true policy"
The mani(estoes Of the political chiefs, Also
sustain strongly this view. The contest In Lon
don was sharp. Lord JOHN russell. however,
re- asserted all his liberal views, and declared for
universal education. Baron Ro1HscHLD, one
great banker, avowed himself for the separation
of Church and State Indeed nearly all the lib
erals take this ground, and, it is said, msjori-

these are ner men. Hudson, the Railway King,
Stephenson, the eminent Engineer. Locke,
equally eminent, Peto, the extensive Railway
contractor, Cubit., the builder, Chaplin, the
carrier, and Wyld, the map-seiler Of Charing
Cross, are all elected.
Before Parliament adjourned, Mr.. BRorHER-
rox moved in the Commons. The motion car
ried. "That she will be graciously pleased to
direct that there be laid before this house u
copy of the letter from the Secretary Of State
for Foreign Affairs to her Britaaic Majesty's
minister at Washington, acknowledging the do
nation in food and money Of the legislature and
citizens Of the United States of America for the
relief Of the famine in Ireland
Mr.. BRowN, the merchant representative from
Liverpool, seconded the motion. and Lord PAL
mERsrox supported it heartily. lie said:
"The only regret he felt upon the occasion
was, that in the despatch to which allusion had
been made he had not expressed himself in such
strong terms, a. to the feeling Of her Msjesty's
government, and to that which appeared to
1
have done. He was strongly sensible that no
terms which he could have useo could have
properly expressed the feelings which had been
excited in the minds Of the people Of this coun.
try BY the noble conduct of their brethren i'm the
L nited States Of North America. - Cheers.
Lord Morpefh was equally warm. He spoke
of the "noble generosity of America" None
could value too highly this trait. or do too much
in cementing the friendship of Great Britain
and the United States. The hour Of irritation
had its bitter words; but the touch stone ealami
fy awoke truer feelings; and America had eX-
pressed them greatly by acts. The motion car
ried.
Parliament was closed with the usual ad-
dresses. We omit these, because they contain
nothing Of moment.
The one hundred and fourth annual Confer
ence Of the Methodists was held at Liverpool,
July 2o,h. Rev. SAMUEL Jackson, presiding.
and Rev. Dr. NEWTON acting as Secretary.
''The Irish Conference has, during the past
year, lost one-tenth Of its membership. One
thousand of this number died of the prevailing
fever and twenty-five hundred emigrated A
private letter from a reliable source intimates
that a general decrease of members throughout
the connexion may be apprehended.
The reports Of the varions committees, finan-
cial, educational, &C., appear to have been very
satisfactory. Chapel debts to the amount Of
two hundred and fifty-one thousand, six hun
dred and ninety-eight pounds sterling have been
paid off, of which sum fl4l ,Oli Were raised by
the trustees themselves. The remainder consis-
ted of grants from the chapel fund.
Considerable discussion appears to have arisen
on the subject Of accepting Government aid
under the education bill. The dissenters gener-
ally have refused TO participate in the provisions
of the bill. The united committees Of the
Wesleyans, on education and ''privileges,"
pursued an opposite course, assurances having
been given them by the Government that the aid
would be confined to those schools in which
the "authorized version" of the Scriptures was
used. After protracted discussion a resolu-
ton was adopted approving the purchase of
site in Westminster for wesleyan Normal
School"
There were other important reports not quite
prepared, a. on the proposed China mission,
Theological Institution, &c.
Eight vacancies in the "legal hundred" were
filled up; and the Conference was in the full

The Literati are determined TO save and pre-
serve Shakspeare's house. meeting, with
this object in view, was held at the Museum
Club, and among other literary gentlemen
were-T. X. Hervey, Douglas Jerrold, Charles
knight, Mr.. Vandenhoff. X. Bell, Mr.. Kelley.
Mr.. w. Kelly, &c. Resolutions were passed to
the effect that subscriptions had been entered
into, and resolving that overtures should be
made to the various literary bodies in London
and Stratford-upon-Avon,t to join in the under
taking, if they felt so disposed. The subscrip-
ton lists will also be open to the public, and it
is to be hoped that Shakspeare's house will
never be allowed to fall into private hands, but
that will soon become national property.
FRANCE is quieter. The bribe-giver, Pei.
LAPRa, was fined, and deprived of his civil rights.
