SALOPIAN JOURNAL* AMB COURIER OF WALES. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. The New Brunswick Theatre, erected on the site of the Old East London, in Well- Close- Square, which was some time since destroyed by fire, and opened on Monday evening*— the structure of which bu, t a few days ago was the theme of admiration in that part of tiie metropolis— is now a heap of ruins ; and what adds to the melancholy tale is, that many human lives have been the sacrifice. As to the cause of ibis most distressing event, alt- is at present conjecture; the roof was of iron, and it is supposed was too heavy for tiie walls ereeied to support its ponderous weight. A rehearsal of Guy Maunering-" was proceeding on Thursday morning, and, at about half past eleven, when many of the performers were on the stage, the external wall suddenly fell into the street, and the whole building was instantly a mass of ruins; it also knocked down two houses opposite, the Star public- house and a baker's, and the proprietor of the latter ( Mr. Bhvtz) was killed. It was supposed that there were near 100 persons iu the building at the time of fl: e dreadful calamity, including performers, the ser- vants of the theatre, and workmen employed in com- pleting the edifice. A hundred labourers from St. Catherine's Docks were instantly sent to assist in removing the rubbish, and by their exertions several persons viere saved, though dreadfully mutilated. The dead bodies of Mr. Maurice, printer, Feuehurch- Mreet, principal proprietor, and several others, were soon taken out ; Mr. Carruthers, the other proprietor, was taken out most dreadfully injured, and upwards of twenty sufferers were carried oft' to the London Hospital— some with fractured limbs, others with heads contused, some with backs broken, and many with slighter injuries. The bodies of several of the sufferers were only recognizable bv parts of their dress, or memoranda found upon them. The exer-, tions of the labourers were unremitting up to twelve o'clock on Thursday night, when, it being- considered hopeless that any of the unfortunate creatures who still remained beneath the ruins could possibly retain Fife, they were sent home to recruit their almost ex- hausted strength. The theatre cost upwards of £'• 20,000 in its erection, and the expense of scenery, dresses, & c. was considerable. Some few of those in Hie house miraculously escaped, among whom were Mr. P. Farren and M r. Goldsmith, with two persons on the roof who fell with it— one scarcely injured and the other slightly bruised. A man named Shaw, and his wife, were also most providentially saved. The magistrates of the district, with a guard from the Tower, hastened to the , pot the moment the melan- choly news reached them, and assisted materially in keeping the assembled multitude from the ruins, thereby enabling the labourers to proceed with their melancholy operations. — A part of the northern wall fell down on Saturday afternoon, but without doing mischief. Two of the wounded are stated to have died at the hospital. A coroner's inquest was assem- bled on Saturday morning, on view of the bodies of ten of the persons killed, viz. Sampson David Maurice, David Gilbert, William Evans, Alexander Davidson, George Pen fold, Thomas Pnrdy, William Reader, Mary Anne Freeman, Mary Anne Feron, and Jesse Miles, aiuf after hearing evidence, principally to identify the bodies, the proceedings were adjourned to Wednesday. One of the unfortunate persons above enumerated, Mr. Evans, was an intimate friend of Mr. Maurice, and formerly editor of the Bristol Observer. — By the above melancholy occurrence, it is said, not less than five hundred persons, men, women, and children, are reduced to extreme necessity, and i some instances to a stale of starvation. grounds of calm argument and discussion — Lord M ILTON also expressed his sorrow that any thing in his manner should have produced an angry feeling in the House. — The question was then put, and the \ t solution, that 44 those parts of certain Acts which Vender it necessary to r< ceive live Sacrament on ad mission to particular offices shall be repealed," was carried without a division.

In noticing the result of Lord John Russell's motion, one of the liberal papers says—" On looking " over the list of the majority and minority, we perceive that the threat held out by Mr. O'Connell " at the Catholic Association, as to the line of " conduct that should be pursued by the Irish " Members on this question, has had its effect. Thirty- six Irish Members voted in the majority, while only fifteen appear in the minority." The only article relating* to the affairs of the East, iu the German papers last received, is from Bucharest, which states that since the appearance of the Turkish Manifesto no doubt is any longer entertained that Wallaehia will be again the theatre of war, and her capital the field of battle. Accounts from Alexandria have arrived to the 5th of January. Intelligence of the departure of the European Ambassadors from Constantinople had been received at Alexandria.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1828. Dreadful Catastrophe at Manchester [ From tile Manchester Chronicle, March 1.] To the numerous frightful accidents which have mifortn naiely occurred in this town, we regret to state that it is our painful duty this week to record another, equalling, if not exceeding iii calamityanv destructive event that has preceded it. An announcement had been published, that tbe New Quay Company intended to launch a tu'w flat from Iheir yard, in Water street, on Friday ( yesterday), and that she • would be full rigged for the occasion. From the novelty of this circumstance, a rigged vessel never having before been launched in this town, an exceedingly numerous company assembled to witness the spectacle. Tbe time at which the launch was appointed to take place being one o'clock, the usual dinner- hour for a large proportion of the working- classes of the town, an immense number of them, consisting principally of men boys, and girls employed in factories anr dve- houses, hastened to the spot to witness the sight, and a great number of them succeeded in getting on hoard the vessel. Before the final arrangements were completed, it is supposed that not less than three hundred persons were on tbe deck. The vessel was ordered to be named " The Emma," and the two Misses Grime, daughters of Mr. Grime, the agent to the New Quay Company, were selected to perforin the ceremony. Precisely at one o'clock tbe supporting blocks — Uv '" f- tl. o lint, nod she glided along the cradle into the Irwell, amidst shouts and cheers, tbe hand of the 9th regiment playing at Ihe time. As soon as she got into the water it was observed that her position inclined to the starboard or right side: in a moment after she slruck against . the opposite bank, retroceded a few yards, and then turned over on her right side, her mast striking deep into the water. The consequence of this sudden occurrence was, that nearly the whole of the individuals who crowded the deck were plunged with violence into the water, from eight to ten feet deep. Tbe scene at this awful moment baffles all attempt at adequate description. Tbe spectators appeared to be panic. struck, and alarm and terror were visibly depicted in every countenance In the river the groans and wailingsof those who nere drowning, and tbe cries of others for help when struggling to gain the shore amidst tbe dense muss of persons immersed in tbe water, were lamentable in the ex- treme. Scores of men and bovs were to he seen swimming to- wards each shore, some bringing companions with them- whilst others had great difficulty lo save themselves ' rom des'ruction, owing to the attempts made by drowning persons to lay hold of them for safety. Whilst these painful sights presented themselves, many unhappy persons, unable to° ob- tain assistance, were observed to disappear from the surface of the water, lu a few lninules the greater number bad suc- ceeded in reaching the land; but very many, particularly boys and girls, who had sunk more than'once to the bottom of the river, had become so feeble that they could hardly move and others were dragged out apparently in a lifeless state! I wo flats were hauled as soon as possible near to the capsized Tessel, and men began immediately to diag for the bodies which had sunk. Notwithstanding the inclemency . the season, several men, who are good swimmers, stripped and re peatedly dived into the water. The humane and noble spirit displayed by these individuals is above all praise. In a short time one dead body was pulled out, and in the space of an hour no less than thirty were discovered. The bodies, as soon as they were found, were conveyed to the nearest convenient places, in order that the means lor resuscitating persons ap- parently drowned might, be resorted to. Two who when dragged out of the river, were in a state of insensibility were completely restored to life, and aie likely to enjoy' their wonted health. In consequence of the vessel beiii » mil ped, with her anchor and cable attached, hut having no ballast It was very generally supposed that the accident occuired from these circumstances, the flat being top- heavy but we have good reason to believe that the fatal'event was'caoscd by a majority of the people on board going to one side of the deck- - A great nnmber of workmen belonging to ( he New Quay yard, with several other persons, were actively employed till dusk in searching for bodies; but we are informed that none were found after three o'clock. Workmen were also en paged in attempting to raise the flat, by means of the cranes in the Quay- yard, and at about five o'clock they succeeded in their effort. No bodies were found in consequence - The number of persons at present ascertained to have lost their lives amounts to thirty- fmr. From the fact, however that nearly three hundred persons were precipitated into the'river we lear that an addition will be made to tbe dreadful list. ' HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. Secretary PBKI. introduced his million on the necessity of nil inquiry into the suite of the Police of the Metropolis and ils environs, bv a long- anil elo borate speech, and concluded In proposing a Select Committee on the subject.

TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. The House tifterwnrds resolved itself into a Coin nnttee on the Corporation and Test Acts, when Lord JOHN RUSSELL entered info an explanation „ f his views and w islies on llie subject. His Lordship said lie could not accede to llie proposition of some Gentle men for a mere suspension ol'llie Acts, and persisted in Ins intention to move for their complete and annua- lilted repeal — Sir T.

A Chronicle a feasibly indicted advertisement, signed " A Proprietor and Trader," and addressed to the " Committee of the Ellesmere and Chester Canal," and being myself a considerable Proprietor in that Canal, J was induced to enquire at the Ellesmere Canal Office as to the accuracy of the averments therein made, and the tendency of the late advance of ihe Tonnage Bates. My enquiries, in the first place, were answered generally, that the Canal Committee had always been desirous to prevail upon the Proprietors so to appor- tion and vary their Tonnage Rates, according to cir- cumstances, as to make their Canal the best Road to Market from every Town and Warehouse on its banks ; care being taken to effect this purpose, in such manner as should produce the greatest Revenue to the Pro- prietors. In proof of this, I was referred to the General Rates of Tonnage fixed by the Proprietors in July, 18i6, and advertised in the Shrewsbury and ( tester papers of the following month, one of which was put into my hands. It being, however, impossible to please every body, even these regulations, beneficial as they were, alike to the Canal and to the Country generally-, were made the subject of complaint by some Traders ( prima facie, not without reason) upon the ground that Goods passing along the greatest leng- th of the Canal from Chester, were made to pay a greater Tonnage per mile, than those stopping at shorter, or intermediate distances ; although it was evident that without such regulation, the intermediate tow ns possessing short conveyances by Land and bv the Dee, to Chester, ( advantages not appertaining to the longer distances) could not have been brought upon the Canal at all, but must have been excluded from nearly every benefit of the same. I then enquired what proportion the merchandize from Chester, chargeable with the higher Rate of Tonnage, bore to that chargeable with the lower rate, and ! was informed that the former was to ihe latter as 10 to 1 : and it appearing that a revision of the rates had become necessary, in consequence of the new Act, it was evident that the Committee, pressed either to reduce the higher, or raise the lower rate, had consulted the Interests of the Proprietors in retaining the higher one. I next mentioned the " Trader's" proposal of charging for the longest distances not more than 30 miles, and observed upon his assertion, that, by so doing, the Canal Company ii would be gainers to every place except to Montgomeryshire." But I was informed that this was not the fact, on the contrary it appeared, that the greatest quantity of merchandize boated to any one part of the Canal, and paying 3d. per ton per mile, was to Wem Wharf, a distance from Chester of 40 miles; and that the effect of adopting this recommendation would be a positive loss to the (. anal Proprietors of about one third of the whole Tonnage of merchandize to and from Chester, while the total apprehended lots of that portion of it passing 10 and from Oswestry, Ellesmere, and Llangollen, if realized, would not amount to more than one tenth of such Tonnage. I enquired if an extended consumption, in conse- quence of the lowered price, might not make up for this diminution ? and was answered, that the value of the reduction sought bore to the value of the article to be consumed, a proportion of 1 to 271 only. Any expectation of this kind must therefore be delusive.— 11 appearing, however, to be unjust, that any portion of the public should be deprived of the use of the Canal, if it could be avoided consistently with the in- terests of the Proprietors, I enquired whether every purpose might not be answered by allowing Draw, backs to the various stations requiring them, as is practised upon other Canals. To this suggestion no valid objection was offered, and I trust it will be adopted at the next meeting. I next referred to the il Trader's" observation that 44 if a vessel went 9 miles along- the Canal, she was made to pay 4s. 3d per ton, while, if she went 12 miles, she only paid 3s." and asked what it meant. My answer was, that as an equivalent for various sacrifices forced by Parliament upon the Canal Pro- prietors, when soliciting their new Act, they had obtained a clause enabling them to charge 2s. additional Tonnage upon certain articles boated less than 12 miles, and passing through a Lock, which power was now in part enforced. 1 inquired whether its enforcement had operated upon any part of the Canal, so as to produce the effect above stated, and whether any vessel had ever been charged 3s, for passing 12 miles, while another paid 4s. 3d. for only passing 9? I was answered that it had not so operated, and that no vessels had ever been so charged : that no Warehouses or Establishments existed upon the Canal, so situated as that such a disparity of charge ever could be made : and that therefore the objection was nothing more than a specious and delusive one. Having satisfied myself as fo the Tonnage- rates, I adverted to the subject of boats travelling ' by night, when I was informed that permission for this purpose had been gratuitously given by the Canal Proprietors some years ago, hut that no Trader had ever availed himself of it, or if he had done so, it was only for a very brief interval ; while the dilapidations and robberies committed by boatmen, travelling at all hours and mooring in all situations, subsequently led to a regu- lation appointing stations where boats were required to rendezvous at. night. Again, I enquired what was meant by Licences ? and was told that upon the Canals between London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liver- pool, where expedition was occasionally of vast im- portance, licences were granted to certain boats, per- mitting them to travel by night, upon the payment of sums for such privilege, amounting, iu some instances, to Thousands per annum, by a single Carrying Firm, iu addition to the regular rates of tonnage. These sums so paid, enabled the Canal Companies to keep night as well as day servants, w bile by means of relays of horses, maintained by the Traders at fixed stations, boats could be navigated any distance without inter- mission . No such extraordinary expedition, however, I was informed, was either necessary, or could be main- tained, at any practicable expense, betwixt, the city of Chester and the towns of Ellesmere, Oswestrv, and Welsh Pool. Lastly — Having named that I had seen it most posi- tively advanced by waiters in the Chester papers, that " the charge of 3d. per ton per mile was the highest Tonnage- rate known,"' I was informed that ibis also was untrue ; and the subjoined list of some of those Canals which are higher, was put into my hands.* These explanations, I own, had the effect of satis- factorily convincing me that the querulous taunts against the Canal Committee were illiberal and ill- founded ; and in justice to those respectable Gentlemen who gratuitously give their time and attention to the interests of the Company, as well as for the informa- tion of such Proprietors as may not be able to attend the ensuing meeting, I willingly publish them.

WAR WITH TURKEY. MANIFESTO of the Ottoman Porte. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 12. Even ihe least informed are aware, that all Mus. • ulineii naturally hate the Infidels, and that tile luti- clels on their side arc the enemies of Mussnlmcti; that Kussia above all has a particular hatred of Islamism, and that she is the chief enemy of Ihe Sublime Porte. For fifty or sixty years anxious to put into execution her guilty projects against the Mussulman nation and the Ottoman empire, she has constantly proftlted by Ihe slightest pretext to declare War; the disorders committed by the Janissaries, who, thank God, are annihilated, favoured her pro- gress; she has by degrees invaded our provinces; her arrogance and her pretensions have been ever augmenting, and she has at last imagined that she has discovered an easy method of executing her ancient plan against the Sublime Horle, by exciting an insurrection among her co- religionists, the Greeks. The latter, united iu the name of religion, made a simultaneous revoll— lhey did all the evil they pos- sibly could to the Mussulmen, anil, in concert with Ihe Russian's, who, on their part, attacked Ihe Otto- man Empire, conspired the extermination of all the faithful, and Ihe ruin of the Sublime Porte— which may G : d avert! Thanks to Divine assistant'*', and to Ihe protection of our Holy Prophet, Ibis perfidious plot was discoveicd a short time before it was 10 be pnl iu execution. The measures which were taken iu the capital, without loss of lime, checked al theiv commencement the guilty projects which seemed so easy of accom plishment; the sword inflicted justice ou a good number of the rebels of Ihe Morea, of Negroponl, of Acarnauia, of SIissolonghi, of Athens, anil other places ou Ihe Continent. The rebels of the Moiea, and of the isles Foyer, dared at the very beginning of these troubles to engage with the Mussulmen; ihey killed a great number of them ; they reduced their wives and Iheir children to bondage, and, under the name of Ihe " Government of Greece," they com- mitted unheard- of excesses. For many years con- siderable forces, both military ami naval, were sent against them, but our land troops, discouraged by want of pay, ditl not display the requisite ardour ; our fleet aiso did not succeed, on account of Ihe ancient disorganization of the arsenal. The matter being spun oul, other Europeans, as welt as the Russians, animated by ambition, furnished secretly every kind of assistance to the rebels, either by pro. mises or by deeds, and thus became Ihe chid cause of the prolongation of our troubles. At last, led away by Ihe subtlety and insinuations of Russia, England and Fiance united themselves to her, and, under the pretext that their commerce suffered by the long continuance of those troubles, they prevailed on the Greeks, by every kind of artifice, entirely to renounce their duties as rayahs ( tributaries). It was at different times proposed to the Sublime Porte no longer to interfere with the affairs of ihe Greeks, but to give them an independent government, to separate them altogether from the Mussulmen, to establish among them a Chief as in Wallachia anil Moldavia, and to grant them their liberty, on con- dition of an annual tribute. Such, nearly, were the vain In vruooulo tlx. t were mo'lo. An it 13 CVUlCllt tiUlt this pretence of liberty tended lo nothing else, which may Heaven forbid ! than lo make fall into the bauds of the infidels the whole of those countries in Europe and Asia, where the Greeks are mixed with Ihe Mus- sulman— to place bv degrees the Rayahs in the place of the Ottomans, and the Ottomans iu Ihe place of the Rayahs— to convert, perhaps, our Mosques into Chinches, and to ring bells within them— in a word, to annihilate Islainism with ease and promptitude, neither reason, nor law, nor policy, nor religion, could admit of such proposals being accepted. The Sub- lime Porte gave repeatedly, both by writing and by word of month, the necessary answers, with all official formality, and according to the lenour of treaties. — Although Ihe object of the Franks had been obvious from the beginning, and although every thing announced that at last the sword alone must answer their proposals, nevertheless, not to trouble the repose of Mussulmen, and on I be other baud lo gain the necessary time for warlike preparations, the Subl ine Forte endeavoured lo temporise as much as possible, by satisfactory answers and official conferences on the subject of the dishonour and of the injury which Ihe proposals of Ihe three Powers woold cause to the Empire and to the nation. It is here proper lo observe, that although the demands made at Akermann by the Russians on the subject of indemnities, and especially iu respect to the Servians, were not in any respcct proper to be granted, nevertheless, circumstances being pressing, we complied with them, whether we would or not, as matter of necessity, in order that we might seize an opportunity of making a peace favourable to the Mahometan nation. Up lo this time, most of the articles had been executed, the conferences respecting the persons lo be indemnified, and respecting Servia, bad also been entered upon, and although these I wo affairs also were not of a character lo be arranged with a good grace, Ihey were, nevertheless, liken into consideration as acts of violence. Russia, how- ever, did not stop there. The military reforms adopted by the Sublime Porte offended her; she was aware that some day that regeneration might hurl back upon her the evils which she had prepared against Islamism. From that moment she resolved lo leave no moment of relaxation to Mussulmen. Russia, England, and France, among themselves, agreed to establish forcibly the liberty which we have mentioned above. About a year ago, the three Powers simultaneously demanded the liberty of Greece, by the means of their Ambassadors, officially and openly, as quite a simple concession. The Sub lime Porte could not subscribe lo this, neither accord ing lo law, nor according lo reason, nor according to policy, nor according lo religion. The Mussulman nation was indignant at it, and it is quite impossible that it should ever be consented to. The Ottoman Government endeavoured lo prevail on them to le- nouuee their prejudices, by every sort of argument and answer, but its language produced no effect. Proud of their power, they obstinately and rigorously persisted to press Iheir demands; and Ihey finished by sending fleets into the Mediterranean— theyopi nly hindered the Egyptian and Ottoman squadrons, des tined for that purpose, from attacking the islands. These two squadrons having entered the port of Navariu, were there tranquilly waiting Ihe orders of the Sublime Porte, when the Russian, English, and French fleets suddenly entered ihe same harbour, and all three began lo fire at once, and every one knows the' catastrophe which resulted to the Imperial squadron. The three Powers, having openly violated subsisting treaties, and declared war, the Sublime Porte had a just right to retaliate, and to act otherwise than it has done towards the Ambassadors, the subj< cts, and the vessels, which were in this place. But the Minis- ters of those three Powers having endeavoured lo justify them by declaring lhat it was Ihe Commanders of ihe Imperial ( Turkish) fleet who had been the causcof the battle, ihe Sublime Porte, considering the circumstances, remained still silent, and, by a las! effort of policy, invited the three Ambassadors to abandon altogether the affairs of Greece. Deaf to the voice of justice, those infidels did not cease to require that their demand res pec ling the independence ol Greece be admitted such as it had been made, it may even be said that their solicitations became more pressing. In a word, Ihe hostile intentions of the Franks against lslamism became evident. Never- theless,- for the purpose of gaining time, al least till summer, every possible show of moderation was used in Ihe conferences and conversations which look place some weeks ago. It was repeatedly declared lo the Ambassadors that as soon as Ihe Greeks would sue for pardon their faults would be wholly forgotten; that their goods, their persons, their estates, would be restored; lhat they would enjoy perfect tranquillity; thai they should be relieved from the payment of the capitation and other tributes which they owe since the beginning of the insurrection ; that besides, iu order lo gratify the three Poweis, they would be exempt from all tribute for the space of one year; and that all the privileges which the condition of Rayahs allowed would be granted them, hut nothing beyond that limit. In the course of the conferences ihe Sublime Porle earnestly requested the Ambassadors to transmit lo their respective Courts those friendly declarations and sincere explanations, promising that the armistice which they had demanded would be observed until the answer should be received. This invitation only served to increase their pride and their preten- sions., Finally, they declared thai they would consent to nothing so long as the privileges which Ihey claimed should nol be granted to the Greeks inhabit- ing ancient Greece, thai is to say, the Morea, Attica, and the isles of the Archipelago, and they announced that they would depart all three together. Thus have affairs come to this point. If at' pre- sent ( God preserve us from it!) after having wit- nessed such conduct, and been asked such conditions, we were to give way, and to concede the independence of the Greeks, the contagion would soon extend to ali the Greeks settled in Rumelia and Anatolia, without the possibility of arresting the evil. They would all pretend to the same independence—- they would re. nouuee their duties as Rayahs, and, triumphing in a year or two over the generous Mussulman nation, ihey would finish one day, by suddenly imposing laws upon us ( God preserve us from ill), and the ruin of our religion and our empire would be the inevitable result. Whilst, thanks to God! the nu- merous provinces of Europe and Asia are filled with an immense Mussulman population, does Ihe sacred Hook and does our law permit us, through fear of war, to let our religion be trodden under foot, and to deliver ourselves to the infidels from hand to hand, our country, our wives, our children, our goods, and our properly ! Though, in the origin, Ihe whole world was in the power of the infidels, nevertheless, at the birth of the true religion, God, aiding the faithful, our Mussulmen brothers, who have appeared and disappeared since the happy lime of our Great Prophet, up to this day, through the effect of their sincere devotion, and unconquerable courage, thought nothing of the num- ber id' ihe infidels. United in heart for the defence of religion, how many thousand times have they not put thousands of infidels lo the sword? How many Provinces and States have Ibey not thus conquered sword in hand ? As often as we shall be united like them, and that we shall affront battles for the glory of God, Ihe Most High will enlighten us with bis inspirations, and our holy Legislator will cover us with his tutelary aegis ; his absent companions will become our guides; and who can doubt thai, under their auspices, we should nol gain the most brilliant victories? If Ihe three Powers, when they see us determined, as iu the past, to reject their vain demands, accept our answers and our explanations, and desist from the Greek affair, it will be well. If, on the contrary, ihey should persist to force us to accept their de- mands, even though, according to Ihe tradition, which says, ( hat ail Ihe infidels compose but one nation, they should all league themselves against us, we would recommend ourselves to God— we would place ourselves under Ihe protection of our Holy Prophet, and, united for the defence of Religion and ihe Em- pire, all the Viziers, all the Ulemas, all the Ridgals, and perhaps even all Mussulmen would form but one single corps. This war is not, like all former wars, a political conflict to acquire provinces or to settle frontiers. The object of the Infidels is to annihilate Islamism, and to tread under foot the Mussulman nation. It must, therefore, be considered purely as a religious and national war. Let all the faithful, rich or poor, great or small, know lhat lo fight is the duty of us all. Let them not dream of a monthly pay, or of any pay whatever; far from it, let us sacrifice our pro- perly and our persons— let us fulfil with zeal all the duties which the honour of Islamism imposes upon us-— let us unite our efforts, and labour with lieart and soul for the mainiettance of religion until the day of judgment. M ussulmen have no other means of obtaining salvation either in this world or the next. We hope that the Most High will vouch- safe to confound and disperse in every quarter ihe infidels, foes to our religion and our empire, and that in all times, in all places, and in all eases, he will grant victory to the Faithful. Our true position being thus known to all Mussulmen, there is no doubt that if they have the least faith and piety, they will also know iheir duly— ihey w ill unite heart ami soul to maintain ouiTeligidn and our empire, as well as lo insure their own salvation in this world and the next, and that if the occasion requires it, Ihey wi discharge with Zealand valour the varied functions of the war, and fulfil exactly the duties imposed upon us i> v our holy law. Help comes Ironi God!— Moniteur of Feb. 21. 3! titpertai parliament* DREADFUL FIRE.— Between the hours of one and two on Wednesday morning, the house and premises of Mr. Biddell, the batter, Field lane, a few doors from Holborn Bridge, were discovered to be on fire. The alarm was instantly given lo Ihe immediate neighbours by the watchmen, and every aid used to nave the litesof the inhabitants. Mr. B. jumped out of the window, and dreadfully injured his arm and side. His wife followed his example and was also greatly injured. The flames spread through the house in an astonishingly rapid manner, and a man, named Bartlctt, his wife, and two children, being unable lo escape, fell a sacrifice to Ihe devouring element. An elderly woman, who had been for some time bedridden, likewise fell a prey to the flames. As soon as a portion of' Ihe rubbish could be cleared away, the firemen commenced searching for Ihe bodies, and soon discovered the remains of live unfortunate man Burtlelt reduced to a cinder. His wife and child were shortly after found lying close together, presenting a most appalling spectacle, both feel of the poor child being burnt off, and its mother nearly in ihe same condition. From Ihe density of the buildings, and the contracted nature of the lane, it is most providential lhat the fire was principally confined to. Mr. Buldeli's house, which is now a heap of ruins; but several of his neighbours have suffered by the removal of Iheir properly. It now seerns pretly generally admitted lhat the liqoabble between Messrs. Huskisson and tlerries, relative to the proposed nomination of Lord Althorp to the Chair of the Finance Committee, neither was nor could be the real cause of breaking up the late Ministry. The whole country must, indeed, have seen, without the disclosures which have now taken place, thai Lord Gorlcrich's Administration carried on its very front the seeds of ils own dissolution. Without a competent head the other Members of ihe body can never act in unison or with effect; and a dtficicncy which is thus fatal to ihe powers of Ihe natural body is not less so when applied to such a one as that we are alluding lo. The Whigs, we believe, seeing the weakness of the leader, and judging Ibal weakness to be their strength, had formed, towards the close of the autumn, ami as the Session of Par- liament approached, a fixed design of increasing their numbers and their strength iu ihe Cabinet— in furtherance of which, we have liltle doubt but it will turn oul lhat by iliul of alternate teasing, menace, and persuasion, a reluctant assent had been obtained from a high quarter lo introduce two influential members of thai body into the Cabinet ; and it was to bring about this arrangement that Lord Goderich's first lender of bis resignation was made. On Lord Marrowby's refusal, however, to assume Ihe Pre- miership, that tender was recalled, and Lord Goderich resumed his station, under an implied assent that his new Whig adherents would be admitted into the Government, not then, but at Easter;— a sort of postponement of 44 ihe evil day," which no one who bears all ihe circumstances iu mind can much wonder al. Then comes the intrigue, which has not been explained, which overthrew and circumvented this purpose. It is now confidently said that the person w ho could explain this, that lie may not be called to the bar of the House of Commons to do so, is wow est inventus. Those of our readers w ho mix in Ihe first political circles will readily know who and what we mean. The rest will, in all piobability, know it very soon. Suffice it for the present to say that the Whig intrigue was thus broken up. Like greater men than ouiselves, we cannot say all thai we know or have heard upon the subject ; but have probably said sufficient to show that more is meant by certain Par- liamentary explainers than has yet met.

TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. Lord J. R ess ELL rose for the purpose of bringing forward a motion, which, though it had not been introduced into that house for many years, would not, he hoped, he the less willingly entertained lie was i persuaded thai the great number of petitions which had been laid on the table of that hou. se, in favour of re- ligious liberty, must he deemed worthy of the deepest consideration, and would ensure for his motion the fullest and fairest investigation. " There was, however, he confessed, one circumstance which made him ap proach this subject with a sort of awe, which, but for the change which had taken place in the public mind, would end in despair: lie meant, that when the ques- tion was last before the house, though urged by the eloquence and enforced by the argument of Sir. Fox, than whom no man was ever more splendid in the one, or more forcible in the other, it miscarried. That, he owned, affected him so mnoh that he would resign the case as hopeless but for the conviction that if he could not wield the same weapons as Mr. Fox, he had not the same enemies to encounter. He founded great hopes of success in the knowledge of the'improvement that had taken place in the public mind, particularly among the middle classes, within the last 38 years, and that he should now find many supporting his motion, who would have opposed it at the period to which he alluded. Another circumstance which he looked upon us favourable to his motion was, that the powerful antagonist of Mr. Fox, in 1790, Mr. Pitt, as is now well known, had, in a few years after his opposition lo the measure, completely changed his mind on ti e subject, and expressed a Wish that the Test and Corporation Acts should be repealed. There was only one word more whiebjie would add by way of preface. Jt might be asked, if he removed these acts, what other tests would he propose? llis answer was, that he was op- posed to religious tests of every kind, fie now came to the grand principle involved in the numerous pe- titions before the house — petitions signed by the whole body of dissenters, by Human Catholics, and by many members of the established church, and praying that the whole of the test laws should tie repealed. That principle was, that every man should be allowed to form his religious opinion by the impressions on his own mind, and when thai was formed, he should he at liberty to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience, without being subjected to any penalty or disqualification whatever; and that every restraint or qualification imposed on any man on account of his religious creed was in the nature of persecution, and was at once an offence to God, and an injury to man. This was the general principle on which the dissenters claimed the repeal of the test laws; but he would fairly admit thai there might be an exception to its applica- tion, and he would illustrate it by reference to the general principle of non interference by one state in ihe internal affairs of another. It was admitted, lhat one state would not generally be justified in interfering in the internal concerns of another; but if some of the internal regulations or political institutions of one state were of such a nature as to tend directly to the injury of another, then the interference of that other would be justifiable. Vie would say the same of religion : if the religion of any body of men were found to contain political principles hostile to the slate, or militating against that allegiance which its professors owed to the state, then a restrictive test would be justifiable; but it would be a test, not of the faith but of the political doctrines of the party. The Corporation Act was certainly framed for the purpose of excluding the more respectable among the dissenters from corporations, and the Test Act was framed for the purpose of excluding Roman Catholics from civil offices. According to the difference in the bjecta of the two acis, was ' he difference in the enact- ments. Much had been said about the wisdom of our Ancestors, and it was but fair that the house should have an opportunity of properly appreciating that wis- dom. No doubt our ancestors had their follies, but at the same time they possessed their share of wisdom, which, like all political wisdom, was adapted to the circumstances in whioli they were placed, and to those alone. In the one case, parliament excluded dissenters from corporations. Why? Because they supposed the dissenters entertained a desire to overthrow the consti- tution, and they feared that the people would elect them into corporations, where they would acquire great power and influence. In the other case, parliament ex- cluded Roman Catholics, not from corporations, but from civil offices to which they were appointed by the King. Why? Because the King of that period ( Charles II.) was not likely to appoint dissenters, but - was likely to appoint Roman Catholics. By ihe Corporation Act it was intended to exclude dissenters from the choice of the people, and in the other to exclude Catholics from the choice of the Sovereign. He would now address himself to shew ihe impolicy of establishing a religions test to prove the loyally and constitutional attachment of individuals. No doubt many of { lie individuals to whom ihe two acts referred were powerfully attached to iheir religion, but at. the same time they were equally attached to the king an* constitution. He now came to the time of William, when it might have been expected that these laws would lie repealed. William came down to parliament and openly expressed his wish that all dissenters, who were " willing and able lo serve," should he admitted to offices and places of trust; but the Whigs of that day, who had to conduct the government, considering that the revolution had changed the dynasty, and that the church was greatly offended by the introduction of the Toleration Act, did not think it safe, if it was meant that Ihe establishment should last, to grant any further liberty to Ihe dissent- ers at lhat time. He hoped that his lion, and learned i friend near him ( Mr. Brougham) would confirm the statement he now made of tiie view which our Whig ancestors took of the position of affairs at that lime. He might mention, ou the authority of Bishop Burnet, that the church at thai time was anxious for the repeal of the Toleration Act, and wished for the restoration of the Stuart family. Under such circumstances, there- fore, it would have been dangerous to grant further concessions. In the same situation affairs continued during all the changes of parties ( for when the high Tory party were in power, they of course were against granting any liberty whatever) till the lime of George 5. when Earl Stanhope, a zealous Whig, proposed to introduce a clause for repealing certain parts of the Test and Corporation Acts into a bill then before the House of Lords. The clause met with serious opposi- tion in the House of Lords, but at the same time was supported bv some of the men most eminent for loyalty and public spirit, and likewise by some of ihe most learned men amongst ihe bishops. Lord Stanhope, however, failed in his object, I he clauses being reject- ed ; and Sir R. Walpole, who succeeded him as Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, being a man w ho never gave up any practical good for the sake of a large and general principle, constantly opposed every effort made in parliament for removing the restrictions on dissenters, at the same time telling them that he was favourable io their objects, — that he approved of their views,— but that lie never would support them. Such was the wisdom of our ancestors at that period. They thought that the House . of Hanover would not receive the support of the church if they gave further relief to the dissenters, and the dissenters themselves consented to endure their privations for the sake of the inestimable blessings which they found in the driving out of the Stuart dynasty and the establishment of ihe new one. The dissenters, indeed, shewed themselves to be as zealous in behalf of the House of Hanover and the political liberties of the country, as they were in the reign of Charles II. willing to submit to the operation of a severe law rather than allow the necessary work of the establishment of liberty to be at all endangered. Such being the feeling of ihe government on this subject — merely wishing to favour, and not attempting to remove at once all disabilities — produced an anoma- lous state of things. Four acts of indemnity were passed in the reigns of George 1. and II. and before the year 1743— acts indemnifying persons who had not complied with the forms of Ihe Corporation and Test Acts. This he considered a most unjustifiable mode of proceeding. If Ihe dissenters were dangerous, they ought to have been excluded altogether ; and if not, they should have bee n fully admitted. His next objection to these Ads was the nature of the tests required, which were of a very serious and solemn character. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was held by the church to be most sacred, and it was declared that those who received it unworthily " ate and drank their own damnation." There were other words of similar im- port iu different parts of the service. And yet this solemn service was used for the purpose of ascertaining the fitness of persons to hold civil office. This was profaning religion with the vices of political ambition, and making it both hateful to man and offensive to God. Seeing the Right. Hon. Representative for the University of Oxford opposite, he must really put it to him whether he was prepared to say that that Univer- sity desired such acts as those now complained of to be continued, in order to maintain the purity of religion ?— whether he thought that legislation of this kind was calculated to induce men to entertain a greater respect for religion, or to induce dissenters to believe that the church from which they differed was pure and blame- less ? It was said, however, " after all, the grievances of which you complain are only theoretical — they no longer exist in practice— dissenters are not obliged to keep out of office." He would say, in the first 1) 1 ace, that if the case were so, that was not a sufficient argu- ment in support of these Acts. Statutes imposing penalties ami restrictions on men on account of religi- ous belief could he justified on no other ground than necessity. When. that, ground was taken away, the acts remained exposed iu all their naked deformity of principle, and that principle was religions persecution. But it was not a fact that no practical grievance was suffered by the dissenters; indeed the fact was far otherwise— the real practical grievance was a great deal more than the legal grievances which appeared on the face of the statute. Though it was true that by later statutes indemnity was given to those who omitted to qualify, yet that indemnity was given on the ground that the omission was occasioned by illness^ absence, or unavoidable accident Those words evidently did not apply to those persons who had omitted lo qualify from grounds of religious belief. The situation in which the dissenters al present stood, was evidently considered one of practical grievance by ihe best and ablest defender of the Act, a noble Lord, who said " that it was mental fraud on the part of the dissenters to take advantage of the bills of indemnity, and that they did not recommend themselves to Parliament by being guilty of such a fraud.' 1 With such a declaration as this staring them in the face, how could it he expected that men whose nice scruples were the cause of their dissent, would submit to the stigma— would render themselves liable to the imputation— of acting fraudu- lently, in order to obtain offices and emoluments Which the church would allow them to obtain in no other way? They would not do so, he knew for a fact. A great portion of the dissenters said among themselves, " we will not accept of office on these conditions : if we cannot hold office without the degradation of being liable to an imputation which we scorn, we will refrain from office and emolument altogether." What was the consequence? The State was deprived of the service of men who would be amongst her bravest defenders in the military capacity, ami the most illus- trious of her servants in the civil capacity. The indi- viduals thus shut out would always retain — he wouid not say a bitterness, but— a soreness of feeling against the Church which excluded them, and the Slate which made their admission to office a reproach to them. Not only this, but it should also be recollected that it was in the power of any corporation, actuated by bigotry or personal animosity, to carry the Corporation Act into effect against the dissenters. He had iu bis possession a statement of cases which had occurred in the cofrrse of the last few years, in which persons who had a minority of votes in elections for corporation offices were declared duly elected, because a previous notice liad been given that ihe individuals who had the majorities could nut act from being dissenters. He had now stated some of the praatical grievances under which the dissenters laboured, but he was aware, whilst he was proving that these Acts operated to the exclu- sion of dissenters, he was only confirming many per- sons in the belief that it was necessary lo continue them. He alluded to those persons who used the argument of the security of the church, and though! that in proportion as the number of dissenters excluded was large, it was so much the better for the church — the establishment was so much the safer. He, however, could not admit that the security of the church was founded on any such exclusion. He thought with Bishop Ken ire l that the security of the establishment consisted in its moderation, its fair temper, and in its decent worship being conformable to the wishes, senti- ments, and consciences of the majority of ihe people; and if it were not so — if it were not agreeable to the people, could it be imagined that any test, any ex elusive laws, would save the church, and prevent its being destroyed bv the overwhelming mass of its ene- mies? But, said a learned man of the present day, " the property of the church would he liable to be affected by the various classes of dissenters, if you admit them all to office." He thought thai argument was the most impolitic that could be advanced; for if those who used it really thought they could not admit the numerous millions — he would not say how many — of Protestant and Catholic dissenters, to the enjoyment of the civil rights of Englishmen, because such enjoy- ment necessarily tended lo the destruction of lhe church property, in the minds of all those dissenters the enjoyment of civil rights and the division of church properly were sure to be confounded. He considered ii most impolitic to use such an argument, and he like- wise considered it quite unfounded. With respect to the Protestant dissenters ( at least the greatest part of them), they could not be supposed to entertain the desire of taking away any of the church property ; and why ? Because they considered that a rich church was not the instrument by which Christianity could he best promoted; and therefore they could have no wish io aggrandize themselves. If the security of the Church of England was founded solely on the Test and Cor- poration Acts, he would ask what was the security for ihe church of Scotland ? By the articles of union, the Presbyterian was declared the true religion — it was the established church of the country, and yet no Test or Corporation Acts existed there. Nothing of the kind. If these laws were necessary for the security of the church of England, they ought likewise to be enacted for the security of the church of Scotland. More than this, persons of the church of Scotland cannot come to this country and take office without being liable to the penalties of these Acts, although being of the church established by law. Then with respect to Ireland : il the Corporation and Test Acts were necessary to the security of Ihe church of England, it would be sup posed that they must necessarily have existed ii Ireland. That, however, was not the fact. The Corporation Act never, he believed, existed in Ire- land. The Test Act was introduced there in the reign of Anne, and was abolished some 48 or 49 years ago, since which time it has not existed in lhat country. An argument in support of these Acts, which was much relied on in the course of the last century, was in the following declaration of our great deliverer:—" It contrary to all the laws and customs of any Christian stale, w hether Papist or Protestant, to admit any per- sons to public employments but those who admit the established religion of the country." Such was the argument of King William.; but how did it apply to the present time? Was it now the case, that persons who did not profess the religion of ihe state were excluded from civil and military employments in all countries? The fact was notoriously otherwise. In Holland, the Netherlands, some parts of Germany, Austria, and Austria in Italy, no such law exists ; hut persons of all religious persuasions were eligible lo office. Such was the present policy of other countries w ith respect, to this important question ; and as for our own country, though her policy was unfortunately contrasted, there was not a single office, civil or military, to which any one of those dissenters might not safely be appointed who now awaited the tardy justice of Parliament. He would call upon the House to consider that those Acts were not to be justified by the circumstances of the times. The dissenters were no longer a party disaf- fected or suspected of disaffection to the government. I. f those Aets were held to be necessary in the lime of Charles II. it was after the dissenters had not only opposed but overturned the government in the reign of Charles I. and wbile the strongest motives still existed iu the mind of his successor for doubting the sincerity of their allegiance. Besides, there was another consi- deration that might have influenced the legislature of that day. Charles was known to be a concealed papist, but did any man entertain any suspicion of that nature against the sovereign of the present day ? Did any man suspect George IV, of popery? There was some foundation, also, for the suspicion harboured against dissenters during the reign of the first Prince of the House of Hanover, because Ihe church itself was sup- posed to be unfavourable to the new dynasty, and the worst consequences to the existing government might be anticipated from the coalition of the establishment with the dissenting church in favour of the Pretender. But however well founded such apprehensions might have been at the period of which he spoke, no such consequences were to be dreaded now. No doubts could Le entertained of the loyalty and fidelity either of the church or of the dissenters; nor could any reasonable man surrender himself to the slightest fear that the clergy would look to any other source of dependence than the crown, which was the head of their establishment, and the dispenser of those favours to which Ihey naturally looked forward. If he were asked w hat advantages the country was to derive from the abrogation of such laws, he would say that the obvious tendency of the measure, independently of its justice, would be to render the dissenters belter af- fected to the government, to inspire them with disposi- tions more capable of hearing the heavy burdens imposed on them by the necessities of the State with cheerfulness, or at least, with resignation— and, above all, it would be more consonant to the tone and spirit of the age than the existence of those angry yet inefficient and impracticable laws which weie a disgrace to the statute- book. He had heard with considerable pain, that it was the intention of the new ministry to make that what was called a government question, to array all Ihe power which their influence could muster against it. He was sorry to hear this, not on account of the question itself, whose progress they might retard but never could prevent — he was sorry to bear it, because it was an indication on the part of. government to resist the liberality which was daily gaining ground in the great mass of society. Whatever kings or parliaments might think of their power, they must more or less he influenced by liie spirit of the times in which they lived. It was conformity to this spirit that constituted ali that was valuable in the political charac- ter of Mr. Canning— his name was great because he went along with the spirit of the times. Even the illustrious person now at the head of his Majesty's Government must consult the same voice, and conform to the same standard. That illustrious person was justly hailed as the preserver of Portugal, the deliverer of Spain, and the conqueror of. Waterloo— as one of the greatest military chiefs his country had ever produced — that country to whose gratitude and admiration he w as entitled by a list of services ' never to be forgotten. But even lie, with all his fame, standing in such a position as few men ever stood in, with the patronage of the Church, and the State, and the Army in his hands— an army of 110,000 men, attached to him not merely by their interests or their professional hopes, but by the memory of past dangers— with the confi- dence, he had almost said the authority, of his sovereign conferred upon him, to an extent which few ministers could ever boast;— yet even he, with all his character, with all his patronage, with all his power, must modify the exercise of tbtfse several qualities, and in the tone and features of his government, if he would have it last, conform to Ihe spirit of the times in which he lived. No matter how great his achievements or his glory, to the spirit of improvement which had gone abroad he must Fiow. It was wisdom lo do so without reluctance or hesitation — it was wisdom to take his lesson from the signs of the times, Without waiting for the dictation of necessity, or allowing a meritorious body of individuals to stand year after year at the doors of parliament, asking for w hat it was a disgrace Jo have so long refused. Such was the line of conduct that would best become the government; but, whether adopted by the government or not, the House was interested in oh serving- it, and by agreeing' with the motion with which he should conclude, they would but discharge their duly towards the public by rendering an act of justice to three millions of their fellow- subjects. His Lordship concluded by moving for a committee of the whole House in order to take into consider? ition the present state of the laws affecting dissenters. Mr. J. Smith seconded the motion, which was further supported Ijy Mr. Marshall ( of Yorkshire), Mr. Wilbraham, Mr. Fergusson, Mr. It Palmer, Lords Althorpe, Nugent, and Milton, Sir Thomas Acland, and Mr. Broughum. Sir 11. INGLIS began by complimenting the Noble Lord ( Lord J. Russell) on the talent and temper he had displayed. There was little in the historical deductions with w hich Ihe Noble Lord had prefaced his speech, on which it was necessary for an opponent of the motion to remark; he ( Sir R. Inglis) concurred in many of the general propositions of the Noble Lord, but thought that he had hardly done justice to Sir Robert Walpole The question was, whether the restrictions, the repeal of which was now proposed, were or were uot restric- tions on the natural rights of man. The sentence' in which the Noble Lord had insisted on the affirmative, had met with ihe marked approbation of the house, or rather of that part of it immediately surrounding him ; but it was to be recollected, lhat power was the creature of society— that no man had an abstract right to fill this or that situation ; it was regulated by sex, fortune, and station ; it was, in fact, nothing more than all arbitrary arrangement; and it had been so in all times, and in all countries. The question was' thus narrowed lo a mere matter of political expediency. He should be sorry to resist any claim founded on any thing like justice; but as the present was a question of pure, unmixed expediency, different men might conscientiously arrive at a different conclusion, and he for one must resist the motion of the Noble Lord. All reason— all history, ancient and modern — all experi- ence, with a single exception iu our ow n times, justified the assertion, that some public authorised establishment of religion was necessary. Then came the question, what degree of protection ought to be given to the established religion ? and what degree of prohibition to the sects not forming part of the establishment? And here he was willing to admit that the very least re- straint that could be safely imposed ought to be the measure of that prohibition. He could not, however, help thinking that some restraint was necessary. The very existence of an establishment implied preference, and preference implied exclusion. We had got a church establishment which by the constitution we were hound to maintain. , e Spartam nactus es, banc orna." In this country the church establishment was part of ihe constitution ; and however men might differ as to the mode in which a constitution should be formed for New Zealand or any unreclaimed part, of the world, yet in this country the question was not open; the constitution had been formed ; it was a thing already done and decided, and the only point now to be con- sidered was, are the restrictions now imposed more serious and grievous than are necessary ? And here he could not help saying, that although the statement of the evils occupied at present so large a space iu the many petitions upon the table, yet the dissenters had quietly suffered under them for 38 years, and he could uot, therefore, think that they were, in fact, as great as for - the purposes of argument they had been repre- sented. A ease had been recently very industriously circulated, under the title of " The Protestant claims now before Parliament," which stated, that on a pre- vious oecasion they had been lost only by a majority of 20. The fact was undoubtedly true, but in the very uext year the numbers were a majority of 290 to a minority of 105. Mr. Pitt and Mr. Burke also then concurred with the majority, and it was quite clear, that members, on re- consideration, had altered their opinions. If the friends of the dissenters objected lo the restrictions now imposed, did they suggest any others less objectionable and equally effectual ? The Noble Lord had quoted Sherlock, and he ( Sir R. Inglis) could not see how that bishop's theory could be answered. It was simply this— three times in each year the Church of England required from its members, that they should receive the holy communion of tiie Lord's Supper, as a sort of legal evidence of their qualification to hold office. This act was looked" upon as the test of Church of Englandism, and in this respect it seemed lo him that ihe grievance was very inconsiderable. The evil being so inconsiderable, then came the consideration that the act of indemnity re- lieved, and would continue to relieve, alt dissenters. That act was merely the power which the church of England and the constitution kept in its hand, but which was never to be used, unless such a combination of circumstances as took place two centuries ago should again occur, when church and state, the altar and the throne, " went to the ground" by the same hand. Of course there could he no wish that the Test and Cor- poration Acts should be put in execution ; but certain it was that the dissenters were practically relieved from the penalties. He for one never should* wish that any man, under any circumstances, should be prohibited by penai statutes fioni worshipping God in bis own way, and according to his own conscience ; but he did not think the mere disability to hold office in church and stale united by the constitution of the coyntry, was such a grievance as the house ought to repeal. Some- thing had been said by the Noble Lord, by the Hon. Member who seconded him, and by the Hon. Gentle- men who afterwards spoke, about the wisdom of our ancestors— a topic of late too frequently introduced by a sneer liltle becoming those who used it. Certain il was, that in the physical world new and improved views were every day opening ou mankind; but in morals, and in the science of government, he was yet to learn that there existed more practical wisdom at this day, than prevailed among Ihe great founders of our constitution, or perhaps even among the sages of Greece and Rome. He was hold enough to think Lord Somers at least as sound a constitutional lawyer as any of those who at present were set upas lights of their generation, while Iheir rivals among our forefathers were treated with contempt and derision. He w illingly allowed that Ihe danger, such as it was, was not to be found in any- overt acts of dissenters from the church now living. With many he was personally intimate, and for many more lie enterlaiued Ihe highest respect, but be was convinced that iheir principles as a body, were such as, were the opportunity again to arise, would re- produce those scenes which already were the disgrace of our history. At present, government had the power in its ow n hands, and with the consent of the legislature, he hoped it wouid retain it; he was satisfied that it was necessary, although as long as the church held its rich endowments, and was protected by the state, it would continue an object of jealousy and envy. Differences must always subsist, and in his opiniou it would be wiser and safer that the battle should lie fought in the outworks than in the citadel. One Hon. Gentleman had referred to the example of America, to show that a church establishment was not necessary, but if his precedent were good for any thing, lie might go further, and contend that we ought to do awav our establishment, and that every man ought lo pay his own minister of religion. As long as the church re- mained in its present position, the acts now sought to he repealed were necessary for its protection. Mr. HUSKISSON regretted lhat this motion had been brought forward at the present time, as he feared it would have a tendency io interrupt the spirit of harmony and concord which had long existed between the members of the established church and the dis- senters, for whom, as a body, lie had the highest respect. He regretted that the motion was now made too, because he thought it would be injurious to the great principle which he had always advocated, of abolishing all restrictions, more especially the re- strictive laws against the Roman Catholics; for, he thought, if concessions were in 1 lie first instance made to the dissenters, many of them would join in additional and increased opposition to the Catholic claims. He therefore opposed the motion. Mr. PEEL said, if the view of the question taken by the noble lord ( Lord J. Russell) had to boast the support, it had also encountered the opposition, of many of the most eminent and gifted men who had, at various times, illuminated and adorned the councils of this country during the last century. During the last Session, too, Mr. Canning had expressed his determi- nation never lo consent lo the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts; nor had any of the measures brought forward by that statesman, with the view of accom- plishing his favourite plan of Catholic Emancipation, been unaccompanied by tests inserted with the view of preserving the ascendancy of the established church. So far from the intention of the sacramental test being to wound the religious feelings and professions of the dissenters, or being so considered at Ihe time of iis imposition, one of the greatest ornaments the dissenters could ever boast, the celebrated Baxter, declared his opinion that there was nothing in the service of the Church of England, in the administration of the sacrament, which should prevent dissenters from com municating witli her members; and as to any practical grievance, that was almost wholly, if not entirely removed, by the annual Iudeniuity Bill. How far Ihe Acts in question operated against Scotland, as averred by the noble mover, would be apparent by a reference to His Majesty's Cabinet, in which three Scotch Presbyterians ( Lord Melville, Lord Aberdeen, and the President of the Board of Trade) sat w ithout any horror of the painful situation which had been described. The hue Lord Mayor of London was a dissenter; and when he reflected that for ten years preceding the. last, only six petitions had been presented against these acts, although by some external influence seventeen hundred had now been sent into that house, he could not think the practical grievance of these Acts was of that nature that had been represented. If he could suppose that the dissenters might enjoy without the at present almost nominal restraint of the Acts in question, the rights from which they believed themselves excluded. & could do so with perfect safety to the Church of England establishment, he would cheerfully vote for tueir repeal ; hut he could not shut his eyes to the conse- quences that might result to the Establishment from their repeal, however impolitic or inefficacious such enactments might appear in the abstract principle. He wished to preserve to the Established Church her superiority, and at the same time that all restrictive laws against other denomiuatioiVs of religion should be as light as possible. In opposing the present motion, he assured the Noble Loid, that if his ( Mr. Peel's) view of the question, should triumph on this occasion, any exultation he might feel would he absorbed in the regret arising from a consideration that such a result might occasion uneasiness to a body of men for whom he entertained the greatest respect, and whose conduct, on all occasions, he felt to be entitled to his sincere admiration. Lord PALMERSTON declared his utter repugnance to any attempt at interfering between man and his con- science ; and his belief that the Established Religion of the country had, in the piety and learning of ils hierarchy, and in the attachment of i: a adherents, sufficient bulwarks for its permanent safety. Bm he objected to a repeal of those laws which, by possibility, might assist it in warding off danger— laws which, in effect were repealed, and which remained in a state of activity only to he carried mto operation when ihe necessity arose. The Roman Catholics were the class of disqualified persons towards whom the Legislature, in his opinion, ought principally lo direct its attention ; and he would never consent to take up the lesser evil — that of the dissenters, until he had brought the greateF evil to a level with it. Tiie House then divided— for Lord John Russell's motion237— against it 193— majority for the motion 44. The motion having been carried, the House after- wards resolved into a Committee, pi o forma, Sir A. Grant in the chair. The House resumed, and the chairman obtained leave for the House again to resolve into such Committee on Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. MALT DUTIES. Mr. PANTON CORBBTT presented a Petition from Ihe Maltsters of Shrewsbury, complaining of the present MaTt Duties' Act ; and the Hon. Gentleman took lhat opportunity of pressing upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer the necessity of attending to the correction of that Act. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the present regulations of the malt trade hud been intro- duced merely by way of experiment, and it was his intention shortly after Easter to bring the whole sub- ject under the consideration of the House, and in the mean time he should be in communication with persons interested in the trade/ for the purpose of listening to any suggestion from them. He would not anticipate what he should then have to say by now entering more fully into the subject ; but he assured I he House that he was most anxious to adopt such steps as would con- duce to the benefit of the parties interested aud to the security of the revenue. Petitions on the subject were also presented by £ ord Clive, from Ludlow and Bishop's Castle ; by Mr. Whitmore, from Bridgnorth; by Mr. Slaney, from Shiffnal and Newport; and by other Members, from various places. Mr. SLANEY postponed bis motion connected with the Poor Laws to Thursday, the 13th of March. OXFORD, FEB. 23.— In a Convocation htilden on this day, it was unanimously agreed that bumble petitions be presented to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and to the Honourable ttie Commons, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, praying that a Bill uow before Parliament to enable rectors, vicars, and other incumbents of ecclesias- tical benefices and livings in England and Wales, to commute their tithes by agreement with tke owners of lands, may not pass into a law. SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS ACCIDENTALLY FOUND— A few days ago, two gentlemen, who had been left executors to the will of a friend, on ex- amining the property left by the testaS- or, found they could not discharge the legacies by some hundreds of pounds; astonished at this circumstance, as the deceased had frequently informed them he should- leave more than sufficient for lhal purpose^ they made the most diligent search possible among his papers, & c. and found a scrap of paper on which was written, " Seven hundred Pounds in Till.'' 7 This ibey took in the literal sense of it ; but as their friend had never been in trade, they thought it singular he should keep such a sum of money in a till : however, they examined all apartments carefully, but in vain, ami after repealed attempts to discover it, gave over the search. They sold his collection of books to at* eminent bookseller, and paid Ihe legacies in proportion-. The singularity of the circumstance occasioned them frequently lo converse about il, and they recollected among the books sold there was a folio edition of Tillolson's Sermons. The probability of ibis being what was alluded toby ihe word u Till" on the piece of paper, made one of them immediately wait upon the bookseller who had purchased the books, and ask hira if he bad the edition of Tillotson which had been among Ihe books sold to him? On his reply in the affirmative, and the volumes being banded down, the gentleman immediately purchased them ; and on examining the leaves found bank notes singularly dispersed in various parts of lite volumes to the amount of £ 700! But what is peihaps no less remarkable, Ihe bookseller informed him that a gentleman at Oxford, reading in his catalogue of this edition, had written to him and desired it might he sent to him, which was accordingly done, but the bindings of the books not meeling with the gentle- man's approbation Ihey had been returned, and laid upon his ( Ihe booksellti's) shelves until the day the notes were found. Al the OKI Bailey, on Tuesday, William Howard, aged 33, otherwise Joshua Bell, otherwise Josiah Bell, and described as a teacher of languages, was indicted for assaulting William Mullay, with intent lo steal from his person £ 450, bis property.— The evidence for the prosecution was the same with the detail of the transaction given in our Journal of Feb. 13.— The prisoner, in his defence, said Ihe prosecutor first struck him with bis fist, and denied thai he bad any idea of assassinating Ihe prosecutor.— The jmv found the prisoner guilty of Ihe assault, with intent to rob the prosecutor, which subjects him to transportation for life.
