wretches, doomed 10 a few mouths imprisonment for
the sins OF their beters Indeed the dignity oil Eng
lands representatives, ~ solemn legislative oody,
must be OF the poorest and meanest description II II
can be satisfied with sLch victims as these. Poor,
vulgar men, however poor and dark IN Ignorance,
would not take brides, unless they were offered by
the very rich and very well bred Let us have then,
some half dozen OF the wealthy expelled brbers and
make a signal example OF them. That il the way,
end the only way-pending the ballot-in which
Parliament can be purified
Perhaps there is no class OF people in Eugand
who ut times exhibit greater meanness or more love
Of self and Ief than the clergy; aud the higher
60 and the richer find them the notorious and
shocking are The examples We are not now going to
inpale the Two Of the world-known Cathedral
OF ST. Paus for their monstrons love this worlds
wealth and their eagerness to shovel into their own
pockets every handful of pelf and patronage on
which they can lay their claws. No we sh all turn
TO the map OF Essex and there down in the marshes,
not tar from Southend, we shall see the parish OF
Barring which contains about 260 acres, nearly 800
of which belong to the dean and chapter of st.
Pauls, who are the patrons OF the living and impro-
priaiors Of the rectoris titles, and who forsooth,
after paying miserable stipend Cor rather leaving
it for the parish TO pay of some f200 year and no
house TO a resident clergyman, bag fl,O00 year
for themselves Now, mark the facts these priest
ly drones not only abstain from giving sixpence
towards the charities Of parish from ~hch they
suck so much of its wealth, but would not even lay
out few patry pounds TO keep wind and water
tight the chance OF TIE church. which, as rectors OF
the parish, they are bound by law to maintain; and
at this present moment the east window of this i'll
fateJ mple Of the Almighty is entirely obscured by
tarpaUhn nailed on the outside, TO prevent the wind
and rain from dashing through the broken window
into the church Verify, with these priestly lord
rgs the love OF moIey prevails over love tor God or
the honor OF the Lords house
The late prolonged debate on Lord SANKEY'S
amendment to tie Indian bill exhibits anything but
general sense, in the House, Of the importance Of
legislatrg properly for India. True, Sir Charles
Wood the poteniate of the Board Of Control has

parliamentary interest IN their behalf True, Mr..
hacaulay paid an eloquent tribute to the dignity
and UsefuLess OF Johns Company In ian rulers and
agents in opposition to Lord ElleLboroughs defence
Of their ignorance, in the House Of Lords but he
brought no moral strength t, the aid Of his party,
and made nothing like search into the deep,
intricate policy Of the Indian government. True,
Lord StaDley's amendment for delay was clever
~ illustrated and most powerfully supported
by Mr.. C.bGeD, and throughout the debate Friend
Bright of Manchester hung upon The skirts of the
ministry, attacking their weak points-aud where
we've the strong onesi-with logged perseverance
and damaging effect. But, notwithstanding all this
how cold and listless and apparently undressing
was the debate, on which may hang the future veal
or woe of Sir Charles Woods hundred and fifty mil
lions! In fact, the members seemed to shun the sub
ject if it had been the Asatc cholera, But after
ALL i is very possible that in all this apparent ia.
difference there may be much real no1esty and
withsl rot used to the bushing mood-betay an
honorable shamesacedness ut approaching the ques-
ton; because forsocth, they bave strong suspicion,
that either individually or collectvely-not except
little, il any thing Of the true condition Of these hun
bred and fifty millions It is quite another question,
however, whether better knowledge would come
with the delay proposed by the upstart scion Of the
hOUse Of DeIby, who with his six months in India,
talks as If he knew it well London; and really
Of opinion that for all the chance of increased
knowledge within any reasonable time, we might as
well legislate now as a year or two hence-and in
any case, now or then, might as well and IS wisely
epislate for the inhabitants Of the newly discovered
planet Neprune, as for 30 many millions OF British
subjects, from whom we are estranged not merely by
distance but also and sti further, by feelings, sym
pathies and prejudices Well, what is the result Of
this long, windy and cold hearted pslaver? Lord
staDleys amendment has been negatived by najo-
r'ty Of l60; and We are Immediately to take on us
the awful responsibility Of legislatipg for the hun
