:PARLIAsMRTARY _INELgLIGBIN CE The bonD UiAiCX1LOR, the M.)arquis ot WIcNCESTESR, and he Earl of SHAF TES8URY sat as commissioners, and notified the loyal assent to. the consolidated fand bill, the law stamps' repeal ujil, the Australasian company bill, the Liverpool pilets' bill, the bee4s tithes' bill, the South wark Gas Company's bill, and several uther bUls. Lr. BROGlEN and others, from the Commons, brought up the uarinie insurance bill, and a number of private bills, which were *ead a first time. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from MIr. Staffordi Cooke, relative to the Stafford Peerage. In presentinz the petition, lhe noble lord made somne obserrations on the petitioner's claim, the, rosecution of which. he thought,would be throwing away money, as X .t was not well founded. Some conversation followed between Ilords RADNOR, HOLLAND, and REDESDALE, which was not heatd be- low the bar. The annual accounts of the East India Companv were presented it the bar by an officer from the India Jlouse. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petitioa from the Presbytery of Avr, against the Scots poor relief bill. Lord HOLLAND held in his hand a pettioin o a very import- mt subject. It was from the city of Chichester against the acts of Charles II., eommonly caUed the Test and Corporation Acts. These ects had been considered as the bulwarks of the church, and as they brmed part of the law of the land, he would not farther descri .vhat he thought of them than to sayj that in his opinion they had .etter be called acts to. restrain the prerogative, and prot'ane the holy macrament. The subject had been before now brought before Par liament, and he thought it incumbent on the cotntsy-n to pet .ion against, and on Parliament to consider seriously, the princi ple of these intolerant acts, which i ere not only cruelly oppressive owards Dissenters, but were not reconcileable to the consciences o muany members of the Established Church. If their lordship warned their attention to the subject, they woaild find tha in general all sincere Christians concurred in wishing a me Wision of those laws. He had another petition to present, fro :ertain Roman Catholics in Ireland, but he sheuld with iold it undl a noble lord (Grey), a friend of his? presented anothe ?etitipn, signed by other members of the Catholic body, ,ehich, h mnderstood, would be on Mlonday next. The petition he had tc )resent was much more temuperate than that intiusted to his noblc friend; the language of which, it would therefore appear, was no hat which was universally held by the Catholics. The Newfoundland marriage bill was read a third time, an assed. The Scots entailed estates bill was reported, and ordered, bc ead a third time on Tuesday.-Adjourned. HOUSE OF LORlS. FEmAY. MAW' 23.

- s -iL uruer in ;ouncui rcspecting the treattnent of slaves, which has given tise to so mtuch disd,tssion and remonstrance here, wais put in force yesterdayiifoq- the first time. 1 foresee infinite difi3. celtics ftnhe wayoiti cs)mplete etecution, and although thO ei; perlntent Isbut just beginaingo be tried, they .are already springing up on. att sides. The ambiguity of the order is such, and that even on very csaentialpoints, thatthe planters in general are at a losahew to act, and have memnorialized the Governor for information, which it will puzzle him to give. To oblige the female slaves to work,new devices and punishments are recommended, and sanctioned by a proclamation published to.day, and among whichl I observe soaitar3 conjnemnnt, P.fle.7tocks, hadcu#s, collar,, anid padllocks ; all punishments quite out of date, antl some of them never before heards of in this colony. Thleey will inevitably tend, in my opinion, to worry and disgust the negroes, as Well as the proprietors, and to produce the worst feeling between them. In fact, the consequences will be injurious to all, and benefidal to none. I have already received a sammons from the manager of one of my estates, to say that my presence is necessarv on ac- count of the insubordination of the gang, who have taken it into their heads that they are now working for the King. I shall set off .he day after eo.morromv in the stean.boat, with an order fror-, the Governor to have theshole affair investigated by the Commandant. On my return, 1 shall inform you of' the result of my expedition.

On Wedniesday afternoon, as Air. fIenry Bearcroft, and his sister, Aliss Bearcroft (thie soIi and daughter of Edward Bear- croft, Esq., of M1onte Video, Essex), were returning to town from a friend's house at Caniberwell, in a smngle.lhorsc chaise, they encoun. teredj a fly-cart, driring at a most furious and dangerous soeed. The wheels of the two velicles meeting with dreadful force, Mir. Bear- croft's proving to be the liglhest, upset, anid the young lady was thrown fot ward with great violence against the pavement, by which she received a severe fracture in the back part of the head, and a se. rious bruise in the shoulder. Her brother, who had fallen beneath tile horse, experienced a slight contusion in the head, from the fall, and had his arm broken by the animal trampling on him, before any assistance could be rendered. They were conveyed to the house of a gentleman named Bates, who lived near the spot, where they were soon after attended by a mcdical assistant, who dressed the wounds and set the broken limb, after which they proceeded to town. THE FoulR HUNDRED MILES MATcH.-This is most decidedly 'he greatest undertaking ever tried by any pedestrian, and it excites much sporting interest, particularly at York races, in wbich county Alaegowal, the pedestrian,is well known. It has been stated that on Tuesday mnorning at nine o'clock he was going on from fonr to five miles an hour, having traveled nearly 130 miles. Hle halted a short time and took refreshment at Bawtry, and reached within two miles of Wetherby, 191 miles, at ten o'clock on Tuesday night. He proposed doing half the distance, to the 200th rile stone. in 54 hours. He is backed at York races to win. His time3 as before stated, is five days and 12 houre.

Sale Of Curacies.
The Times, 1824-10-19T00:00:00

(From a , 'ns is so ctecidtedly an age of traffic'in every thing sus- ceptible of sale or purchase, that it is scarcely possible for lasse to occur which can be described as a novelty. WVe monfess, however, that we have felt surprised at its being stated to us, by a gentleynan whose authority cannot be im- peaclhed, that a regular mart exists for the buying andl sell- IDif CURACIES, which form of church preferment is sub- ,;'qfed to the same discussions en its value, as property in lhd, houses, or the funds. The rate of purchase, we un- ?erstand, is about u years' amount of the annual value: a curacy, therefore, ot lool. a-year wouldt, according to this scale, produce 2501. to the party who had it in his disposal. 'T o wvhat extent this strange abuse is car- ried, we have not, of course, the means of ascertaining. and as it is clearly an offence prosecutable un(ler the eccle- siastical law, we may be consi(terel as departing from our sphere in taking notice of an evil for which that tribunal may be an aiequate cute. But the fear of publicity rnay soenitimes effbet that to which the tribunals of the country are unequal, and no doubt a paper like The Times would deem it a duty to make knowvn any Suchl case, if statedl on tompetent authority,.ani exposure from which the most hardy anfl shameless in the practice would probably shrink. No instance has yet occurred, we believe, of any case of the 4le of a curacy having been brought under ecclesiastical ensure. *S'ALE OF CURACThS.

The division on the College of Haileybury at the India House yesterday, was favourable to the continuance of the institution; the numbers being-for the question, 272; against it, 400-one hundred and twenty-eight in favour of the establishment under its present regulations. 'We neitlher regret nor are surprise(d at this result. We have no feeling with respect to the College, except so far as it effects or fails of the objects for which it was formed ; and if this feeble majority, upon which so important, we might say so unreasonably vast an institution depends, should tendl to correct its errors and modify its extravagances, the original motion will not have been without its use.
