One of the most effective speeches vet delivered on this subject, was that of Mr. Ffftts Ct. tNTON, who, in the course of his address in seconding the motion of Sir John Walsh, observed— The question for their consideration was, whether it was possible to have a House of Commons capable of more efliciently exer. cising its legislative functions, and more faithful guardians of tbe interests of the empire at large, than the present? He denied the fact. He knew there were some theoretical irregularities in its structure but maintained that the hill would not remove them. And what was the main feature of this bill! Was it aristocratical or drmocratical, as it had been alleged With equal emphasis bv opposite parties ? Why, it was a bill that went, at one blow, lo destroy, every corpora- tion in the country, and by so doing to destroy all pub- lic confidence in chartered rights ; and all under the pretext of enlarging the representation, which was six times more extensive than the far more populous kingdom of France. And who " ere the prime sup- porters of this excellent measure ? Why the radicals ; and that, too, on the avowed ground that it would be a slep— a means to an end, towards those more sweeping measures— the destruction of church pro- perly for example— which they so ardently cherished. The Hon. Member dwelt on the point at some length. One wortl iu reference to the effect which the hill would have 011 the other house of parliament. In this case they were not left to conjecture; they had the evidence of history — their own history— to guide their decisions. The doctrine of the sovereignty of the peo- ple, " that the people were the sole source of all civil power," had been, as they were all aware, not. only asserted, hut acted on, by the republicans who leil Charles I. to the scaffold. And what was the conse- quence 1 He begged the modern advocates of the doctrine, fhe pledged supporters of the democratieal reform bill, to consider it. The King was beheaded and the House of Lords having been voted " useless and mischievous, w abolished for ever. But, without anticipating such extreme results from the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people, let them consider the consequences of a collision between tbe two houses of parliament. In the event of such a collision, it required little sagacity fo foresee which of the two would go to the wall. Well, lie would not dwell on this point, but proceed to remark 011 the internal elements of endless discussion, agitation, and con- fusion, which the bill would embody. Ministers say that their measure is to be final— that, in fact, it is so perfect, that all classen of reformers must be satisfied with it ; but a bird's- eye glance shown it to be fruitful in practical no less than theoretical anomalies. For example, its promulgators tell them that its principle is based 011 population ; and yet most inconsistently gave to large and thriving towns, containing from 40,000 to 60,000 inhabitants, but one representative, while they per- mit small places, not containing a tithe of that population, to return two members. Now this glaring anomaly was not a mere speculative source of complaint and agitation. He had examined a petition from Brighton, in which the petitioners complain that whilst that town, with its 40,000 respectable inhabitants, is to have but one member, the adjoining county of Sussex, is to. return four, and several comparatively small places in tbe neighbourhood are to have two representatives. He had also examined a petition from Gainsborough, in Lincolnshire, in which the petitioners justly complain that while the least populous and wealthy division of that county would have eight members uuder the bill, their division would have but one. And the same anomalies would be found in almost every county iu England. There was Stockport, for example— antl it was, he thought, a striking one, of the defects of thc bill, even as judged by the alleged principles of its frainers— with its population of 00,000, for which the bill provided one member, while the borough of Malton, with its population of 4005, was to retain two. Now he put it to the house, how, in common fairness, could the advocates of the hill pretend to reconcile these great practical and theoretical anomalies with ils population principle? They were told, to be sure, that their ancestors bail acted on this population principle, anil that they were merely returning to tbis wise policy in extend- ing the franchise to the large unrepresented towns ; but he would confidtiitly ask them, to what large towns since the time of Simon de Montford was the right of representation extended on the sole principle of population ? It was true that most of the large towns in the reign of Henry III. returned members to parliament; but it was equally true that population was not the ground on which they enjoyed the right. He knew this point had been much contro- verted ; but he spoke iu the presence of one who, more than any man in that house, was competent to offer an opinion 011 the subject, having already enlightened thc public in a work, " History of Eng- land," ( Cabinet Cyclopaedia.) of which it was enough to say, that it was worthy of its author, on that and other topics. It was hardly necessary to add, that he alluded to the right hon. member ( Sir J. Mackin- tosh) for Knaresborough. He appealed to that right hon. gentleman's admirable work as an authority, when he stated that many of those places which at present enjoyed the right of representation were not more populous or relatively considerable when first endowed with the franchise than at present; showing, therefore, that the population principle was not that actcd upon by our ancestors. Nay more, not only was population not the basis uf our ancient system of representation, but there were many places which had enjoyed the right when they were more populous and thriving, and therefore relatively more consider- able than they were at present, or wht 11 they received Ibe franchise. Sucb was tbe case with Buston, iu Lincolnshire, for instance, which was distinguished iu the early ages of our history for its wealth, numbers, and importance, but which was only vested with the power of returning members in the reign of Edward VI. The truth was, accident and circumstances had a chief hand in determining what places should receive representatives, and what should cease to exercise the right; and when hon. members talked of acting on the principles of representation which prevailed among our ancestors, they talked of principles which our ancestors never dreamed ot\ oc, at most, had but shadowy glimpses. Many of tho places which, under the Plautagenets, returned members, ceased to exercise the rijjht under the Tudoi's, and prayed to be exempt from the " burden/* oti the score of poverty. Of this fact Liverpool wa* a curious il ustration ; for that now so prosperous town, so late as the time ot" Elizabeth, petitioned hev . Majesty not to insist on members being returne<| from her " poor and decayeel borough of LivcrpouJ. v It was only, as they were all aware, in tho time uf her successor James, that it became a lavy, that tho place to which a writ had originally beeu sen* should ever after contuue to exercise the ri& Ut. He alluded to Ihe decision of the committee on the boroughs of Wendover and Agmotulesham, uf which Sir Edward Coke, and Nov, and other celebrated u\ eu uf tha$ time, were numbers,,-^ decision which baa been acted upon ever since, the only difficulty being that of obtaining valid proof uf a writ having been sent to any borough claiming the right of representation. It was a curious fact with respect to the bill before the houae, that the very boroughs which the conw mittee of great constitutional lawyers to which h » had referred had taken as the ground of their decision, were among those to be wholly abolished under its provisions, and this, too, without the 1 emotest imputation of blame or abuse, but iu c<> n « fortuity with mere theory.

No discussion of importance occurred in either House of Parliament on Friday night On the subject of taxes, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that lie did not inteml to renew bis proposition for a duly firt Steam Floats.

The Mcssagir lies' Chambrtti, Paris" Paper of Wednesday, contains an aiTiile 011 the affairs of Poland, which asserts lhat Ihe Polish ainiy in Lithu- ania, under tlie, command of Gen.

The accounts, in fact, lead to the iielief tbat Ibe Polish Lithuanian army is all bul surrounded. T lie Dutch papers also testify to sortie reverses in the affairs of the Poles, which seem lo flow, in some degree, from Ihe dissentions' that have crept into Ibe army as well as the govern- ment. II appears that the cholera is becoming lt? ss malignant in its character'at Ddiltzic and Riga. It would appear tliat the reported attempt of tlie Ex- royal family of France li> recover possession of I lie I h rone of tbat country is not altogether unfliumled. Proclamations, iu the name of Henry Ibe Fifth, have, it is said, been printed for distribution, atid at this moment active proceedings are going on in Italy among the partisans of Charles the Truth, to effect a roimter- revolutiOit.

The Times intimates tlia'l the Royal Coronation, wilh less attendant parade than hitherto, will in all probability lake place on or about the 23d of September. Archibald, ninth Earl of DUnd'oiiald, died at Paris on the 1st instant,' in Iht! 83d year Of his age. He is succeeded in the Earldom by his'eldest son, Thomas Lord Cochrane. Sir Hussey Vivian has arrived ih Dublin, and assumed the command of the forces in lhat kingdom. The London University appears to Have become sadly embarrassed in its affairs. A general meeting of the Shareholders was held in one of the schools on Saturday, when it appeared lhat from schisms in the council, discontent among Ihe proprietors, want of power to enforce their authority over the students among Ihe professors, together with ihe " alarming stale" of its finances, the establishment is in a truly pitiable and almost helpless condition. All parties seem to agree in one point— and in one only— namely, tbat it is high tiiiie sdqie decisive steps should be taken to retrieve the affairs of the establishment; a committee of inquiry is in consequence appointed to investigate and report their opin. i n to. the general body interested. A Court Martial was held at Spithead on Wednes- day, 011 board Ibe Caledonia, Sir Edward Codrington President, for Ihe trial of Lord William Paget, Captain of his Majesty's ship Winchester, on charges preferred against him by John Ayscough, Esq. Cap. lain in his Majesty's Navy, and late Commissioner for Naval Affairs at Bermuda, viz.:— For forcibly eject- ing him from the' cabin allotted lo liim by Vice- Admiral Colpby's, Conimander- in Chief on the West Indian and North American stations, to accommodate a lady and Iter child, to whom Lord William Paget had given a passage; and also for disrespectful and unofficcT- likc conduct to him during the passage to England. O11 the assembling of the Cotirl, Captain Ayscough having admitted that a material witness ( Sir W. Burnabv) was not able to prove a fact on which tbe Charges rested, expressed his desire to abandon thein altogether. Tbe Court, in conse sequence, fully acquitted the noble lord of all the charges preferred against him, and every part thereof — at the same time expressing Iheir regret that an officer of Captain Ayscough's rank and station in the service should have thought proper to bring forward charges of a nature so serious, without having, by his own admission, ariy evidence to prove the facts. The trial df Mr. C'dbbeit for a libel in his Register, the tendency of which was* charged to be to excite the labouring population of the country to acts of incen diarism, look place at Guildhall 011 Thursday. Mr Cohbctt defended himself with considerable ability. About six o'clock in the evening Ihe jury retired, and remained in consultation all night. At nine o'clock 011 Friday morning they came into Court, and stating that Ihey could not agree, they were discharged without returning any verdict. This is virtually au acquittal. Tbe elections in France have been much more favourable to Ihe ministers than had been generally expected, and it is supposed that the Chambers will be two lo one in their favour. It is said that they have obtained this result by giving way on tbe abolition of tbe hereditary peerage, which, being properly interpreted, means the abolition of all peer- age whatsoever. Tho » e who in England know the difference between a plain knight and a baronet will admit that is in- heritance which makes the peerage. A peerage chosen by Ihe existing Monarch is no more than a privy council, and it requires no deep talent to fore- see that it woiitd short Sink into insignificance, and lie given up as a clumsy nuisance. History tells us . what follows next! Extracts from a I. cttcr dated Paris, July 9 .— " The Moniteur of Thursday and yesterday con- taine'iYcVrtaiu ordinances directing the commemoration of the events of last July by a three ilifys' national felt ® ,' and which is to be kept as" will in tli'e depart merits ils at Paris". The first day is lo be one of mourning— ceremonies for the dead— and the laying tbe first stone of a monument designed to perpetuate the events of the revolution. The second day is lo be one of rejoicing; There are to be balls and Shows, rope- dancing anil balloons, races, mtlsic, theatrical performances, distribution of bread anil wine— and, filially, general' iffiftninalion aiid fire Works. The Third day is to be one of military reviews and military • fries", and Ihc National G'uaY'dV are to be ranged from the Barriere du Trotie lo the Barrierc I'E- toihy the two furthest extremities of Paris. Moderate arid seusi ble people think all Ihis is unwise and inopportune, bul Ihe Minister apologises for his programme by appeal- ing to tlife excited slale of public feeling, and says that he could not have refused to order a fete without endangering Ihe peace of the capital. The prefects in some . of Hie departments will be placed iu an extraordinary and difficult position, for in many the events of July arc still considered as being most deplorable, and in others; where the republicans abound, the moment will be seized for illegal and disorderly displays of public opinion. M. d'Argout, fhe Minister of Public Works, has issued a suitable circular to the prefects, iti which he leaves it lo their discretion, whether the fete shall be for 011c or more days; but above all urges that those who are suffer- ing from the bad slate of commerce should be relieved, nnd that the dead should be honoured by attention lo tbe tfoes aiftl wants of tbe living. This is sensible enough ; but wliS is { here to give ! The rich are all royalists, and will do nothing fo encourage the revo- lution. The shopkeepers, who are liberals, are half ruined, and the poor are those who stand in need of assistance. 1 assure you the present condition of France is little short of frightful, anil without we have peace, economy, and order very soon, it must end in a general bankruptcy. " 1 have more than once insisted iii your paper on the fact of the bad state of organization and the dis- loyalty of the French army. Although 1 have not seen this fact insisted on by any of your con- temporaries, yet an " order of the day," just pub- lished by Marshal Soult, addressed to the commander of the first military division, shows that 1 was ac- curately informed on this bead, and that those on whose opinions f relied did hot deceive trie ; for Marshal Soult has published an order which stales that he lias learned with regret that both soldiers and office Is " visit private citizens anil even Workmen, who Manifest opinions in opposition lo ( be constitu- tional government of France," and forbids thein to loiter about the qOays, Place de Greve, & c. & c. or to visit these obnoxious citizens anil workmen 1! This is at once Ihe most extraordinary, and even alarming proclamation I ever recollect tii have read, for it thus admits lhat both citizens, workmen, and soldiers, are conspiring together to overthrow the present ofdef of things in this country."

Tbe Reform Bill was to go before a Cotnmilf. ee of Ihe whole House yesterday, for the purpose of ils clauses being considered and debated in detail. The Liverpool anil Birmingham Railway Company having decided not to proceed with their Bill in the present Session of Parliament, the Birmingham and Liverpool Bill lias beeu withdrawn by an order of Ihe House of Commons; and, iu consequence of the determination of Ibe Liverpool Committee, tbe Bir- mingham Committee resolved to limit their bill to tbat part of tbe intended line between Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and endeavoured to proceed with their Bill so altered. The House, however, refused to entertain the application under such cir cumstances, and the Bill was therefore withdrawn altogether. It is confidently expected that the bills relating to Ihe Truck system, introduced by Lord Wharncliffe, being sanctioned by Ministers, will pass this session. They are similar in effect to the measure brought forward bf Mr. Liltleioli iu the Commons last parliament.

He was born ill May, 1703, and in bis youth visited many parts of the Continent with great improvement anil profit. In the parliaments of 1727 ami 1734 be sate in the House of Commons for Bishop's Castle. In 1754 lie was elect d Member for Ihe town of Shrewsbury ; hut bis name does not occur as having spoken in the House of Commons, in which he did not retain his seat after the dissolution of that Parliament. On retiring into private life, he again embarked for Ibe Continent, traversed Sweden and Denmark, having previously explored the interior of Spain, of which country be saw tbe capabilities, and lamented the destiny. From conversation on these subjects, at the table of Sir Benjamin Keane, Ibe English Resident, he attracted the notice of the Spanish Ministry, who offered him a guard to piotect liini from insult in the course of his researches; but this, after some experience of the trouble and expense attendant upon them, he found it expedient fo decline. He had, however, the satisfaction of laying the foundation of some of the most valuable improve- ments introduced into that country previous to tbe French Revolution, which again threw every thing into ils ancient discord. The obligations of Spain to Air. Alore, are distinctly acknowledged by Baron Dillon.* Fiom what our traveller saw in thatcountry of its religion, he returned with an increased attach- ment to the Reformation. A11 apprehension of personal danger would not diminish his aversion to Popery ;— in the course of bis journey be had over taken a Friar, who was walking 011 the road whither lie was proceeding: from motives of humanity he invited liitn into his chaise, and continued him in it, though he found him a very dull and uninteresting Companion. On their arrival at the next town, about noon, the Friar retired to sleep, while Air. More ascended a neighbouring hill, and returned with a rich botanical treasure •[• just as bis companion awoke from bis siesta. Air. Alore could not avoid contrasting the different modes iu which they had been passing their Itovfrs; this roused the other's resentment, and be affected to believe, or really did so, that the English heretic, in toiling through a meridian sun for a few simples, intended to employ them in some purpose of necromancy. These suspicions wefe increased ill the course of the succeeding stage by Mr. Alore's arpusing himself with mathematical problems, in which he niaile use of a two- feet rule which he carried in his pocket. On alighting from Ibe carriage at the next lily, the Friar immediately left him ; and not long afler, the master of the inn came to Air. More, and advised him to have his mules put to and set off as fast as he could, for that his companion was certainly gone to inform of him to the Holy Office. * Linmeus, in his Bibliotheca Botanica, part vii. jo. 96, complains of the. little encouragement which was given lo Botany in Spain,—" which tended greatly to raise, the emulation of the Spaniards; and while that celebrated Botanist was taking measures to obtain a permission for one of his pupils to travel through Spain, he received a Message from tbe Spanish Ambassador at tbe Court of Stockholm, which greatly surprised him, as it intimated the desire of his Catholic Majesty to have a Botanist recommended by Linnaeus: Thi appears to have been owing to some English gentlemen then at. Madrid, and among tlieni Robert More, Esq". 1'". R. S. who, dining with the Prime Minister, Don Josepe de Carraviijal, had been asked their opinion of Spain by that Minister, who, perceiving that the remark of Linnseus was not without foundation, and being informed that a Spanish Flora would turn otit as new as it was rich, determined that his couutry shonld soon be free from such a reproach ; this was afterwards com- municated to Linnsens by Mr. More in his tour through Sweden, aud accounted, for the application above- mentioned."— Dillon's Travels through Spain, p. 107. t " Amongst other gay flowers which adorn our parterres we' are indebted to Spain for the musk- rose, or rosa sempervir& is. The plants of these aud some other kinds of roses were found growing naturally in Spain, by the late ingenious Robert More, Esq. of Linley, in Shropshire, who sent the seeds to Mr. Miller, who raised thein in England."— Dillon's Travels, p. 439.

In consequence of the continuance of fine ' weather, there has been a very moderate extent of business trans- acted in the Corn trade since thisday week. On Tuesday the market was more numerously attended than of late, but tiie quantity pressed for sale exceeded the demand, and prices were again lower. There have since been some forced sales in Foreign and Irish Wheats, at 6s. lo 7s. for Odessa, and 6s. to 6s. Gd. for Irish; but, as these prices were accepted only by a few alarmed holders, tliey form 110 fair criterion ot' the market value.

The horse market contained a large supply of animals and few good ones; the prices were according to quality, and fine horses for the saddle and agricultural pur- poses, were much sought after, and sold well. The search for coins at Tutburv, under the au- thority of the crown, ceased on Friday, up to which time about fifteen hundred were discovered.

Halston, of course, was well backed, when the required odds could be obtained; . Birmingham was riot; but, Woful, Emme- line, Tamboff, arid Welbeck found several fanciers. As the horses began to- appear on the ground, they were the subject of the various offers, and- some of them, as they took their preparatory gallops, increased the confidence of their backers. Birmingham and Halston saddled at the. bottom of the course, and gal- lopped up past the stand, Halston leading, the otheT following, and their form was such as to increase the confidenceiiti thein. ' Lady Emmeline cantered well, as did the Woful colt, ana Appollonia. Thev soon gathered together at the starting- place, and got off all together, | Birmingham, Welbeck, and Roundwaist leading, at a- very strong pace, the former outside, the rest were in' a cluster behind, with the exception of Halston atldi& irah, which were last. Some little sur- prise was manifested at Halston being in such a situa- tion, but a " knowing one" said, " He's just Where he ought to be. and will get to the oilier end when wanted.''; The pace. was killing: Sarah could not maintain it, and plainly showed by her running that all was not right. Birmingham still scored them along, with 8st, 91b. on his back! Roundwaist keeping with him. No material change occurred till the last time round, when, about three quarters of a mile from home, Halston began to come up: he gradually passed the field, until he reached Birmingham at the distance. Vanish, wllo had got to the front when about a mile from home, looked Well, as also did the Woful colt. Conolly, on Birmingham, gave up his place to Halston, pulled his horse lip, and took up a reserve, but safe position, for fear of accidents. Halston now looked all right. After, having passed the distance, the Woful coit and Binmeline came up in good style, which Conolly seeing, drew upon Birmingham for a couple of lengths, but seeing Halston had the race still in him, he again immediately pulled Up Birmingham, and left the other to finish, wliich he did very cleverly by a length. The race was a very good one, and remarkable for the strength ofthe pace and the truenesswith which it. was contested.. It was obvious that Birmingham, notwillistandini; tiie great disparity of weight, could have won easily, if it. had been necessary,' as this was more . than counter- balanced by the disparity of stride betwixt, him avid the other horses. Mr. Beardsworth nets £! B0 besides bis own stake, independent of bets. Sarah, Eliza, and the Welbeck colt pulled up dead lame.

The belting began'at about 3 to 1 on tbe brown horse, but, the Recoveryites being very shy, it gradually hardered to !> to 1, which was a maximum price. Recover y led off at a very fair pace for the . distance, as his only chance was in trying to tell the other out. It seemed, however, to Ire all right, for the first two miles, as Biinrngharii lay very steadily in his quarters, and seemed nicely in hand. At the last turn, however, he altered hi< form, and looked not quite so free as at first, Recovery having, if any thing, rather mended his pace. At ti e distance, Conolly tried to get up to the other horse, and was working rather hard. It became rather critical with tile layers of the odds, as it was expected he could have come, up and won easy. A fine race home ensued, Recovery winning by half ahead. When tlie hubbub of this defeat had subsided, the question was, how such a horse as Recovery could beat Bir- mingham. It appears that the, crack was one of the fr est hoises. lhat arrived at the course; and that, in corisequeneeof the extremely hard nature of the ground,- he has not had his accustomed work.

On Saturday week, a Court for the Relief of Insol vent Debtors was held at the Shire Hall, Chelmsford, before VY. J. Law, Esq. when ten insolvents appeared to claim the benefit of the Act. James Andrews, the soil of a farmer at Dcbden, had been arrested for £ 30 at the suit of a person named Edmund Clifford, of London, who had given notice of opposition, but it was not convenient for hiin to appear. This case, upon examination, exhibited an organ- ized system of raising the wind, by means not exactly honest. The insolvent stated, that about last September he saw an advertisement in a newspaper, offering to lend several sums of money. He being anxious to get into business, applied lo the person referred to in the advertisement, who proved to be Edmund Clifford, Esq. of No. 22, John- street, Adelphi. Mr. Clifford received him politely ; informed him he was a con- veyancer, and agreed to lend hiin £ 300. A short time after, Mr. Clifford appeared at Debden, and prevailed upon the insolvent to sign two blank papers, in which no sum was named to his knowledge at the lime, but they afterwards proved to be bills, and had since been filled up— oue for £ 30 and the other for £ 200. At the time insolvent signed Ihe papers, Clifford told him he had got the money in iiis pocket which lie proposed to advance, and that he would pay it into the bank. Insolvent went to the bank the next morning, but he did not find the cash , there, nor had lie ever received a halfpenny. He was arrested upon the £ 30 bill, ami thrown into prison. It was here stated, that three or four farmers had also been duped by Bills of Exchange to a very large amount in a similar manner ; and that a true bill for a fraud upon one of them had been found against Clifford at the last assizes for this county, but he could not then be found. Mr. Andrews, the father of fhe insolvent, said Clifford came to bis house, and told him that he was going to lend his son £ 300. Witness remarked that that would not be of much use to begin business with, as he could give him very little ; but, after some consideration, lie added, that if he ( Clifford) had got" money to spare for seven years, he had no objection, provided a bond was entered into that he should not touch anything for seven years, if the interest was kept up". Witness did not then know that his son had signed a paper, and upon Clifford asking him ( witness) to Sign one, he refused, but took him to the h ) Use of Mr. Thurgood, of Walden, bv whose direc- tions, he said, he would abide. Mr. Thurgood was not, at home. Witness then took Clifford to Little- bury, where he again wished him to sign a paper, but witness again declined. Clifford said James ( the insolvent) had agreed to give him £ 20 for the use of fhe £ 300y and witness must sign a paper for that £ 20. Witness at length wrote his name upon the back of the paper; upon close inspection he found it to be a bill, and felt greatly alarmed at the discovery. After some further parley, it was agreed that the money should be paid into the bank the next morning, but no money was advanced; witness never received one farthing. This was about September, and on the 1st of March, Clifford arrested him on the £ 20 bill. Witness paid the £ 20, and Clifford then arrested the insolvent ( his son) for the bill of £ 30. The Insolvent's Solicitor said, that the bill for £ 200, signed by insolvent, had found its way into the hands of a person in London, who had applied for payment, and whose name was entered in ihe schedule as a creditor to that amount. Clifford's attorney, whose name appeared in the proceedings, resided at the time in the same house with his client, but w; is now in Whitecross- street Prison. The Commissioner saidit was a ' most extraordinary case, but he hoped the parties would soon rece. ve their just desert. The Insolvent's Solicitor said, that three farmers were waiting in the Court ready to he examined, if necessary, who had been duped out. of ± 700 in this manner, and by the same parties. One of lliem was the person who preferred the bill against Clifford at the Assizes. The Commissioner directed that no dividend upon tho Bill for £ 200 should be paid without the strictest inquiry as to how tbe person became possessed of it. The Insolvent was ordered to lie discharged. annals of Britain; those of Nelson and St,.

It is a common theme of. complaint with the Radical journals that the aristocracy usurp art undue share. of patronage in the navy, the army, and the church 5 and that unless a young man has con- nexions possessing parliamentary interest, he has no chance of. elevation in any of these, lines. There never was a complaint worse founded. That the younoer branches of the nobility are to4) e found . ifi great numbers in these useful and honourable fines, is in a peculiar manner the glory and blessing of Eng- land; that instead of wasting their days in listless indolence, as in Spain, or in unceasing gallantry, as iii Italy •, they are to be found actively engaged in real business ; discharging the duty of country curates, or enduring the hardships of naval, or facing the dangers of military life, without aity distinction from, their humbler brethren.

MY.— Rex v. Taylor— At the Surrey Sessions, 011 Monday, Robert Taylor was indicted at the instance of the Society for the Suppiession of Vice, for blasphemy, which be uttered in discourses delivered by him 011 Gmnl Friday and Easter Sunday last, at the Rotunda in Blackfriars. Two persons who took notes of what he said 011 those occasions, proved the facts, which exhibited some of ( he most gross and disgusting ribaldry of the Christian a id a'l revea'ed Religion, that it is possible to conceive We shall not pollute our columns by transcribing any of the passages, which we regret to find reported in some of the daily papers. The defendant, in a written defence of great length, and which occupied nearly five hours in the delivery, deprecated in sti- on"' language the conduct of the Society for the Sup- pression of Vice, which Society had instituted tbe present proceedings against him. The society con- sisted chiefly of the clergy, who were determined, if they could, in crushing him to the earth. ' I lie jury found a verdict of guilty, and tiie Court- sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned two years in the county gaol, to pay a fine of £ 200, and enter into his own recognizance in the sum of £ 500 for his good behavio. ur, and find two sureties of" £ 250, for t' e next five years, and to be further imprisoned until such line be paid, and such sureties entered into.

Deriug, Mr Lyon, Mr. Edinuud Feel, Mr. A. Trevor, Mr W. Bankes, and Sir George Murray, opposed the Bill.— The last- named speaker, whose address was received with much attention, said— lie considered the mettsnre ol'reform too sweeping; lor he saw no necessity for suth an extensive change in fhe established institutions. The country liud prospered under the present constitution ot'the House of Commons. The noble lord who had just addressed llie bouse was asked on a former occa- sion, whether the bill before Ihe house would pro. duee any present benefit by lightening; the burdens of the people, to which he answered that the ques- tion was irrelevant. Now he ( Sir George Murray) thought that there could not be a more pertinent question than to ask whether any measure proposed by government would produce any benefit to the people. The noble lord, however, udded, that the bill would produce a more perfect theoretical system; but he did not rate that benefit so highly us the noble lord. The conduct of Ihe supporters of the parliamentary measure reminded him of that of Ihe lion, member for Kerry, w ho was accustomed to give a glowtug picture of the evils of Ireland, and concluded With proposing the repeal of the Uuion. The lion, and learned member for Kerry succeeded in proving Ihe existence of evils iu Ireland, but fie did 11O1 show any indisposition ou the part of the bouse to remedy tliein. He would op- pose a repeal Of the Union because be thought il would be a dismemberment of Ihe empire, aud he would oppose tbe measure of ministers because be thought its tendency was to ( lesfroj the coustitu- liou. Ministers o'aid that the extent of' their measuie was one of its principal recommendations — they contended that it would give stability to Ihe throne, and security to Ihe people. He believed lhat it would shake the monarchy, aud make the Houseof Commons a more efficient instrument iu the hands of the democracy, for the purpose of em- barrassing the government. Ministers said they had no fear of being embarrassed by a reformed House of Commons. They need have 110 such fear, for their system w as concession— they depended ou popular favour. But he would caution them, that when tbe concessions which they now proposed should have bceu secured, more concessions would be demanded of them. The supporters of the measure said that the constitution was the result of perpetual changes. He admitted that was so, uud thought th& f it might still be improved by a moder- ate change suitable to the circumstances of the times, hi ffie speech delivered from ihe throne, parliament was recommended, in discussing the measure, t< Vadhere to Ihe acknowledged principles of the constitution. That was a vague phrase, and it became necessary to know what was understood by tbe acknowledged principles of the British constitution.' He had always been of opinion that the constitution consisted of three powers uicely balanced. The question was, were those powers distinct and separate, or mingled and blended one with the other! He thought that the monarchical principle was not confined to tbe throne alone, nor the aristocratical principle included only within the „ f P„ ni. u rt'A fRu Klon/ linnr / sf'tLo wallsofthe House of Peers. To the blending oflhe three poWei's vie owed liur present happy condition under which we had the power of niaking gradual improvements w ithout Ihe risk of great and danger, ous changes. If the three powers should be separated— if the Crown should be left lo defend the monarchical principle, aud the Houseof Peers to defend Ihe uristocratical principle, whilst the llouse of Commons would be occupied in advancing the spirit of democracy— he thought that both the spirit aud practice of ( lie British constitution would be effectually destroyed. He euuld perceive nothing in the present measure which would enable the llouse of Commous to legislate with greater ad • vantage to the community at large than at the pre sent moment. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had said, thai the interests oflhe colonies would be protected by, the liberality of a reformed House of Commons. Was ndt that virtual representation ? Might not the Interests of large maiuifncltii it^ tow lis be protected in the same manner i He merely stated this as a consequence of Ihe Chancellor of the Exchequer's reasoning; not that he had any objection to large manufacturing towns having re- presentatives iu that house. Another hon. member had said, thut il v^ as not Of much consequence that his gallant friend, who liail lately arrived from India willi a host' extensive knowledge of fhe affairs of- the East, shoiild oj> ftttn', a seat ill' the house, be- cause he had published his knowledge in books. The same observation would apply to gentlemen intimately acquainted with Commerce and manu- factures. Ministers said that they hud not brought forward a niggardly bill, because tliey hoped the present measure would satisfy the whole country. He ( Sir G. Murray) feared that the bill w4( ild uot produce a stale of things iu which it would be pos- sible to remain stationary. The democratic spirit would obtain such au acccssion of strength, that it would certainly move onward. He was sorry thut the noble lord who introduced tbe bill, for whom be entertained the greatest respect, should have ex- hibited something like arrogance, aud taunted his opponents with being feeble in argument and in • lumbers. He thought likewise that it did uot display good laste nor sound judgment on the part ofthe noble lord, to allude to circumstances which had occurred iu periods of* civil contest iu Ibis country. He for one was not much gratified by tbe allusions to the disasters and defeats of his country- men. He could, however, pardon the noble lord, for he believed lhat be never would be the Ctoin- well uf the piece which the measure of his lordship appeared to be preparing for the theatre of his country. He who would be the real Cromwell was perhaps exulting in secret at the success of the noble lord's measure. That iudividual, whoever he • night be, was perhaps saying to himself at thai moment, iu the words of the noble lord and of Cromwell—" The Lord hath delivered them into uiy hands." The period for the appearauce of this personage in the field bad not yet arrived. He would not be secu until the fifth act of tbe piece, and then, perhaps, he would be seen endeavouring to gather together the scattered fragments of the constitution which the measure of the noble lord would have brokeu und dispersed. He would be seen again endeavouring to form a House of Com- mons ; but on Ihis condition, that 110 member should enter it who was uot pledged lo tlie opinions oflhe usurper. The people might depend upon it that despotism possessed tbe same character at all limes, whether it was exercised by an iudividual or by au agitated multitude. The real Cromwell would ulso be seen endeavouring to form a House of Lords, not, like the present, endued with the influence of property, but a phantom only of tbe House of Lords;' uud he would take care likewise, before they proceeded lo deliberute, lhat tbe iudividual appointed to preside over them should administer to them friendly advice. He knew not what might be the character of a llouse of Lords so composed ; but of this he was confident, that there wus too much magnanimity of character in the present House of Lords to allow ihem lo be In the slightest degree influenced by such a mean attempt. If lie thought the present House of Lords would suffer themselves to be influenced by such all uttempt, he ubould not entertain the high respect for them which he did from a conviction of their utility to the state. If he could imagine that I hey would abandon their duty under the mean influence of intimidation, be certainly should uot think so highly of them as he had done. When he commenced his address to the house be did so under the pledge that he w ould uot occupy much of their time. That consideration prevented him from touching upou many other topics. He would therefore Conclude by declaring that he opposed Ihe bill from no party feeling, from uo dislike of u moderate und prudent reform, but merely because be really and sincerely believed il to be a measure which tended to cause those dangerous revolutionary convulsions by which the ualious of the confluent had been so much shaken. Captain Berkeley, Sir F. Vincent, Mr. Vernon, Mr. Bulwer, Mr. Godson, Colonel Torrens, Mr. Macauley, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, supported the Bill. Mr. GODSON said he was oue of those members who had pledged themselves to support the bill, uud the whole bill; nud lhat, uext to the honour of having a seat iu that house, Ue estimated Ihe honour of having given that pledge to his constituents. And wlial was the pledge ? He had been asked by bis constituents that question which Hie King had Culled upon fhe people lo put to the candidates for Iheir suffrages. That was what was the fact. And why was the pledge cast upon those who hud given it, aud by whom was it east? It was cast by persons who had given a pledge of a different description, and for tbe purpose of exciting appre- hension and alarm. Those w ho had pledged them- selves openly to their constituents wefe honourably bound, aud if they bad given Iheir pledge to the bill, uud fhe whole bill, Ihe fault lay with those who bad opposed the measure and rendered such a course necessary. If any amendment of Ihe bill wus attempted a cry was immediately raised that the principle of fhe bill was departed from, and, therefore, although many might think some of the details were by no means perfect, still, in order to secure the substantive part of this measure, they were compelled to adopt ils errors. The next accusation against those who were situated like himself'was, that they not only pledged themselves on the hustings, but that they did uot know lo what they bad pledged themselves For his own part he would reply to that accusation by stating the reasons upon which he hud come to a conclusion thut the bill ought to be passed into a Ian. He would not go into any elaborate reasoning upon the details of the measure, but broadly State the consi- derations which had induced him lo pledge himself lo its support. The first question which he had asked himself was this, liud parliament the power to make the alterations required by the people? For an answer he referred to history, and being fully satisfied, upon investigation, that ihe power did exist, he proceeded to the next Question lie had to put to himself, which was, was any reform ne- cessary ? The hou. members opposed lo the bill had answered that question by admitting lhat some reform was required. That admhteiou being made reduced the question to one of degree. VV hat reform was required? To answer this Satisfactorily it was necessary to refer lo public opinion, to see what desires, expectations, and wants were abroad. Looking at the progress of the question of reform, he found that it hud been supported by tbe greatest talents of the country, and that it had gone ou gradually progressing, as it were, in spite Of wind and tide, against all the influence of all the pro- prietors of boroughs in England, even when that influence was supported by the brightest eloquence. Finding this to be the case, he naturally asked himself, what was the extraordinary power, what was the steam- engiue, which had brought about this difficult change ? It was the public voice which had produced so great a result, and that voice demanded, and must receive attention. These questions being decided, the uext thing he had to consider was the time. Was il a fitting time for Ihe agitation of such a question? Unquestionably it was, Tbe country was iu a stale of peace, and a more favourable opportunity for the consideration and settlement ofthe question could uot be desired If, then, the time was fitting, aud the question was ouc of necessity, the only remaining point to be decided was this— was the particular measure pro- posed the one which ought to be adopted ? Ac- cording to the reading of tbe bill it was decidedly good. He alluded not to all of its details, but to its leading principles. This, then, being the reform proposed, he had asked himself what conduct would any patriotic King have pursued ut the present period if he had bceu called upou to summon a par- liament without reference to anything but the spirit in which parliaments had been devised for the pro- tection of Ihe rights of the people? When he thought upon that question he fell convinced that a patriotic King would have acted upon the outlines of the present bill. Would, for instance, any King, so called upon, exclude such a town as Birmingham, and give such a borough as Old Saruni the power of returning members to that house? Certainly not. If, then, Birmingham was to return members, what class of its inhabitants would be authorized to exercise the elective franchise? It could not be the freemen, nor the burgesses, nor the corporation, for there were none ; and therefore by the commun law of this country the members wot. Id be relumed by the inhabitants who paid scot and lot. And what did Ihe Reform Bill propose ? Not that tli lowest class of inhabitants should exercise Ihe privilege, but lhat tbe £ 10 householders, those who were acknowledged by great constitutional writers as fit for the duty, were to be entitled lo vote. The Reform Bill, theu, was iu conformity with ( he spirit of the constitution— in fact, 110 more than a leaving out of those places which would have been left oui by a patriotic King if called upon to devise a par- liament, und an Insertion of ihoSe places which upun such an occasion would have been inserted, lie might a'dd thai a great bonus was given to ( he aris. tocracy of the country in the additional number of counly members which Ihe bill proposed. This bill proposing them being in conformity with the consti- tution of the country. The next question to be considered was, w hat w ould be its effects ? ( Cough- ing und " hear" J Oue party had enumerated its bad and another its good effects. Among its bad effect's were these— that it would do away with nomination boroughs; lo which he suid so much the belter— f Laughter J— that it would prevent the purchasing of seats in that, house; again he said so much Ihe better—( Coughing^ 1— and that it would deprive the colonies of representatives ; that position he denied. Gentlemen Aho had been in the colonies, and had returned to this country with the fruits of their industry and enterprise, and settled in a county, would have sufficient influence iu the district iu which they resided lo be returned its representatives, and thus they would be able to protect the interests of the colonies much better than they were under the present system. ( Cough- ing and laughter. J But if these were the effects of llie bill which were supposed to be bad, let Ihe house look to the good effecls. Let the two pictures fc'e contrasted, and he contended that when they wefe if would be impossible to doubt that great beuefil would be derived from the bill. The lion, member recapitulated his arguments amidst much coughing aud confusion, and eohSlud'ed by expressing his determination lo redeem the pledge lie had given to his constituents. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The adjourned debate ou Ihe Reformed Bill was resumed— Colonel SihthoTp, Mr. K. Douglas, Mr. Wrang ham, Lord Vullefoil, Sir C. Wethei'ell, and Sir it. Peel, opposed the Bill; which was supported by Lord William Lennox, Mr. Campbell, Mr. H. 1.. Bulwer, Mr. Sti icklaud, Mr. Brougham, and Sir F. Burdelt. Mr. FBANKLAND LtyVis declared, in all honesty and sincerity, that it was his most anxious wish that the house should really and effectually entertain the question of reform ; and he therefore felt it a point of duty that he should state his opinions upon the present measure to the house. But lie could not help feeling the difficulty of doing this when he knew that by so doing he and all those who were not prepared to give the bill a blind and precipitate support exposed themselves to the certainty of being attacked and taunted wifli all the slaug terms, such as had been used by a noble lord that evening, and which had run through all the elections throughout flic country, and which were enongh to make men rather still, and join either the one parly or the other in a silent vofc, than fairly deliberate upon and discuss tbe best means of carrying a good and sound reform into e fleet. He was determined, however, not to be driven from that course, but to state his general opinions upon the subject of reform, and to apply them to ( he measure before Ihe bouse. He was ready to admit that the appeal made by his Majesty to tbe country had been practically answered in the affirmative, that the people of England did wish the question of a reform in their representation to be considered. He saiil this generally of the people of England, and he was bound to add, that he said it specifically of those whom he had the honour to represent, and who were beyond question favourable lo tfie measure. He did not mean to say they were unanimously so— far from it. And even those who were determined to support it as a whole entertained grave and serious apprehensions for the operation of some of its parts. These were reasons sufficient to incline him very strongly to vote for the second read- ing of tbe bill, and be had, therefore, listened with atixious and eager ears to the arguments in its sup- port, in Ihe hope that the objections which pressed with irresistible force upon his mind might be re- moved or shaken. And what had been the result? He had heard on one side of the house practical objections to the details of the bill repeated over and over again, while from the other side they had received no answer but brilliant and beautiful speeches about Ihe necessity of political and social improve- ment going hand in hand, all w hich generalities might be very true in themselves, but did they justify to the house the passing of all Ihe provisions of this bill into laws? The hon. member for Calne, on the previous night, had delivered a speech of enchanting and overpowering eloquence ; hut he would say of it that if tbe lion, and learned member for Kerry should, five yeais hence, move for the repeal of the Union, as lie fully believed be would, under far riiofe favourable auspices, then if the speech' of the h'on. member for Calne were taken, and the word repeal substituted for that of reform, he wduld ask any man if every word of the speech would not be cis appli- cable and as forcible when applied to that question as to the one upon which it was delivered. Notwith- standing this, for the reasons he had before stated, and wishing honestly and sincerely that all the parts of the measure should be submitted to an ample dis- cussion, lie should not, by his vote iipon this stage, impede its going into the committee. He hoped it tvould there be made such a measure aj he might be able finally to support; but he would stale at once that he had little hope of this, and that he feared he saw on the other side of the house a tendency to precipitancy— a wish to rush through with the bill as if they were afraid of losing their object. He earnestly hoped that no such spirit would prevail, but that every part of the bill, and every suggestiuu for its improvement, would be fully and deliberately entertained. He thought it right to say that as he voted for General Gascoyne's motion in a perfect spirit of sincerity, so he never would accept any reform coupled with a proposition for taking away thirty of forty of the English members from that hou& T. If a few members were wanting to make up the number in Scotland and Ireland, be did not know lhat he should stand upon that point; but to any further reduction of English influence in the House of Commons he never wuuld consent. He believed most folly and sincerely lhat tbe inevitable result of carrying the Irish Reform Bill, and at the same time taking away from the number of English members, would be, ( hat they should have the repeal of the Uuion carried in five years.— That it would be done in ten years appeared to him a matter of certainty, hilt he fully believed that it would not require five. Every reason now advanced in favour of this measure would have the saiiiie force as applied to fbilt, and having beetf once admitted they would be irresistible. Another objection w hich lie had strongly entertained had 5een partly removed— he meant the appoint- ment of Pl- ivy Councillors to settle tbe divisions of counties. This had been very properly transferred to parliamentary commissioners ; but the change did flirt go far enough. He trusted that whether the individuals to be so appoin ed should emanate from that house or not, the result of their investigations would be brotight Upon the table of that house before it was acted upon. There were many private and parly interests mixed up with that part of the subject, and he sincerely hoped there would be 110 desire to precipitate tbe bill so as that this most material mat- ter should be neglected, and afterwards give rise to heartburnings and discontent. He called upon them to lake time. He wished from the bottoin- of his heart that the house and the country would believe what he knew to be true, that they had accomplished their object arid secured the question of reform. He stated it as his deliberate conviction, that a reform of the representation of the country must come, let who would obstruct, let who would gainsay it.— The house, then, sccure 111 this, were doubly responsible to their country and to posterity for the acts which they should adopt. If they acted precipitately and rashly, their work must be imperfect; but let them inquire, let them investigate, let them call for in- formation, and then examine and sift the effect of what they were about to do upon all the varied interests of the community ; and then, and then only, could they expect to work out a perfect measure. For the reasons he had stated to the house he should vote for the second reading of the bill. The House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading of the Bill 367— against it 231. — Majority for Ministers 136. that word to which they severally appeal. It is my daily prayer that I may be constantly reminded that whoever I meet may be a better person than myself: but in meeting a menibef of ihe Bible Society, j immediately recognize oue of whom 1 know a positive good ; and I would shortly state One case in ihe votive liueS of that most amiable and pious Prelate who once adorned and delighted these assemblies, and who iu bis extended, but, alas! brief career of usefulness, subsequently adorned and delighted distaut climeS: " Salvation, oh ! Salvation I the joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation fias heard Messiah's name." SHROPSHIRE BIBLE SOCIETY. The Anniversary of this Institution took place in the Towu Hall, Shrewsbury, on Wednesday last, and was most respectably attended.— Archdeacon COR- BETT, the President, took the chair, at twelve o'clock; and it appeared from the Report, that the vthdie sum remitted to the Parent Society last year was £ 350, being less by £ 130 than the sum con- tributed in the former year. This diminution was partly owing to " an excess of payments over the receipts for books procured from the Parent De- pository," and partly to the " death, or discontinuance from oilier causes, of several contributors, without any material accession of new subscribers." Archdeacon CORBETT said— The affections that have been wounded in this Society, and the diminu- tion of its income that has arisen from that " time and chance that happcueth unto ull men," have been submissively and instructively adverted to in the report that has been read ; and 1 believe 1 may add, that w e have seldom, if ever, holdeu an annual meeting without having to lament the loss of valu- able coadjutors taken from us in the course of the preceding year. And now to that long, that honoured, that regretted list we must add the name of one, the depth of whose piety, and fhe simplicity of whose mind, enrolled him among flie early sup- porters of the Bible Society. Mr. Briau Hill at- tended our first anniversary aud lie attended the last, and with, 1 believe, a single exception, we had the sanction of his presence aud tbe pleasure'of his' assistance iu every intervening yeat. Aud melan- choly indeed would be the recollection that his place waS this day Vacant atnoftg us, if we could not Contemplate hi& exaltation fo Chat " General Assembly" if is the exclusive object of this, however humble or feeble ils exertions, to promote aud iu- creasc. But thus consoled iu our deprivations, we are enabled to hail the appearance of oursurviving friends with thai chastened joy, so suitable to the calm and quiet of a meeliug, founded in christian priuciple aud compacted by christian love. How different, indeed, is the atmosphere that floats around us ou these Occasions', to that which tbe popu- lation of these courts more frequently gives rise to : and if clouds have obscured the radiance of that Which heretofore encircled the halls of Hie Parent Sodiety : if the unanimity which so long resulted from its well considered basis has beeu invaded by au attempt to alter of add to its simple and compre- hensive rule, we must look upon such interruptions as graciously permitted ( o balance the confidence of unwonted prosperity : to remind us that, with whatever favourable gales our stalely ship has beeu impelled upou ils holy missions, still the measure of grace vouchsafed to its mariners is contained " ju eufthen vessels." May we then be hence led to seek still more intently and distinctly ( hat single- ness of heart and purpose so necessary to the uni- versal work in which we are engaged : may we be hence led to implore more earnestly the aid aud the protection of our Eternal Master, and pray more fervently for the descent of thut wisdom which is from above, aud is gentle, upon ull our counsels and deliberations. I would not, indeed, allude to distant debates, and from which this auxiliary has been happily exempt, if ( hey were not matter of notoriety, or if further discussion w ere uot threaten- ed. And if I am wrong iu my allusions, 1 know 1 can be corrected by Ihe distinguished Secretary who this day honours us with his company; for who can be looked upon as more identified with the vital interests of Ihe Bible Society, than be who lias the unexampled felicity of having suggested a reli- gious union of greater capacity aud more extended usefulness lhan any other: and who, when that suggestion was acted upon, dedicated to it the labours of his life. But gladly as 1 would leave this subject in his hands, 1 cannot but first express ihe deep concern 1 feel, that that single principle, so long, und so singularly withholden from the ken of mortal mind ; but which, when made kuown, ap- peared the plainest possible, and whioh has now received the stamp of happy and accumulated ex- perience, should be questioned by any of those whose attachment might have been supposed to glow with its growth, and strengthen with its strength : and truly us 1 would honour that Godly- jealousy which, 1 doubt not, in all sincerity, moves this dissent, still 1 must deprecate the intrepidity of that faith which can contemplate any general test, as more perfect or expedient than the standard of truth itself. A test which neither asks or can accept any compromise of principle on the part of its members; but whilst it has a tendency lo en- large the charity of every congregation for every other, leaves ihe boundary of each church inviolate, and only furnishes to each the veritable version of Now I do think that whoever aids the Bible Society must be looked upon as joining in this proclamation, for Ihe agency of the Bible Society is one and in divisible and confined to the publication of these glad tidings in the terms in which they are revealed. But as to the private motives of any person for joining us, or as to the integrity of the conclusions he may draw from this proclamation, they are necessarily excluded from our jurisdiction, and must always belong more especially lo Ilim who u alone poudereth the heart." We must always be sorry to hear any one accused of wrong notions or wrong conduct; but is it any aggravation of this sorrow to be told the person accused is a member oflhe Bible Society? Should we not rather rejoice that he who is wrong iu some things, must be right iu this? and if it is a single redeeming virtue should we not hope that, like the seminal principle, com- pared to the smallest of all seeds, it may in time " take root dowuwards and bear fruit upwards ?" or should we be disappointed in this hope, still it cannot be any cause of alarm, that part of a pro- perty thus situated is rescued from the probable service of error or of sin, and secured lo au ex- penditure where it cannot err so long as the ori- ginal constitution of the Bible Society is maintained aud acted upon. And i think it not difficult to fore- see, that if any link in that chain of charity which now encircles the globe is destroyed, the component parts of that stupendous fabric, which bears upon its front, in deeper impress than any other, the apostolic injunction be ye all of one mind," must dissolve into its original parts; for if some tenets are objected to by some,' svhp shall Say v.- liat other tenets may be next objected to by others, ( ill in this civil war of unwise aud unnecessary proscription,* nothing will remain but insulated societies, each, probably, inferior in powef- to those whose inade- quacy to the increased demand for the Scriptures led eventually to the formation of the Bible Society. And 1 would ask is it a light thing io paralyze Ihe progress of an institution that, in twenty- seven years, has added some millions of copies of Holy Writ to the stock in band ? Is it a light thing lo peril the proceedings of uu administration that has issued in the last year nearly half a million of Bibles and Testainenls, exceeding ( he issue of the former year by above 30,000? is it a light thing to eudan- ger a subscription of above £ R5,000, exceeding that of the former year by above £ 10,000? or who would wish to throw doubts ou that increasing trust which brought above 160 uew Bible Societies within these realms, under the protection of the Parent Society, iu the course of the last year, being more lhau the affiliations of the former year by above 30? And when we further consider that Great Britain stands pre- eminent, by means of her Bible Society, in moral aud religious consideration, among the uuiious of the earth; that there is not a quarter of the world where the Bible Society of England is not acknowledged with wonder and with gratitude, as the munificent Parent of every similar Association : who, we may ask, shall have the heart to interfere with this mighty confederacy ? Who shall have the hardihood to tell them they are mistaken iu ( he confidence ( hey have reposed in us; that we are about to retrace our steps and abaudon a plan that had succeeded beyoud all humau hope aud expecta- tion, and was so " marvellous iu our eyes," that we hud humbly hoped it was blessed from above? But from these auticipatious, which I cannot deem im- probable, if the scruples that have beeu urged are listened uuto, I turn with gratitude to the negative they have received from the noble and revered President of the Parent institution, from the Hon. and Right Rev. Patron of this Auxiliary, from many Nobles and Prelates, aud olher individuals ofthe highest estimation, and from tbe recorded vote of the majority of members assembled at the last au- uiversary in London; but I leave this, and the filling up of my omissions and deficiencies, to those who 1 hope will proposS some resolution upou the subject befoie we break up, and hasten to my usual motion, that the Report which we have heard may be received and printed. The Rev. WM. ROAV, of Ellesmere, said— Sir, 1 rise to second '. he motion made by Mr. Burn. 1 ac- cepted the invitation of your worthy secretaries to take a pari In this meeliug from the couvictiou lhat the present period is one of uncommon importance — one iu which the circulation of the Bible is a matter of pressing necessity— one in which not only the destiny of souls but the destiny of England cries to the friends oflhe Bible Society " whatsoever thy hand fiudeth to do, do it with all thy might I must give it as my decided opiuiou, lhat upon the friends of truth depend iu a great measure the stability, the welfare of Britain, ll is evident that a new order of events is abou( ( o be iu( roduced, that this uatiou is preparing herself for untried exploits, aud as far as human agency is concerned, it is now to be decided whether the public mind, breaking from its old trammels, shall riiu rampant in infidelity and atheism or become eminently virtuous: it is now to be decided whether this nation is to rise or full in her commercial and literary character; and that question devolves especially 011 " the Saiuts." Unless our boldest thinkers, our best writers are deceived, England has reached a point a( which few or 110 nations have ever remained. Unquestionably au appeal to the history of olher nations would favour ( he belief ( hat we must soon cxpect to retrace our steps—( o see the crown taken from our head, to see our glory passing into some other realm. But, Sir, such a fate will be pfeveutod; Such a calculation will fail, Such an inference will be falsified, if, ani- mated by the signs of the times, christians will unite in imparting the principles of tbe Bible to our population, und in impregnating especially ( he lower classes with the vigour and purity of truth. What 1 ask is to perpetuate the glory of this kingdom, by the prevalence of pure aud uudefiled religion. Wealth lias never saved a nation from ruin, and in the vef- y inidet of our wealth bus " poverty planted her famished brood." Can statesmen save Why, Sir, it is evident statesmen are not their own masters: it is evident they act under an impulse they eau neither resist nor understand. They have to follow rather than guide the public mind, and to fall 111 with events, whereas they formerly dictated them. ( Like Hie fallen Prospero, they often startle at the occurrences to which they unconsciously have given rise). The excitement in ihe public mind is so general, so perfectly new, as lo betray the finger of God. Let then the friends of the Bible Society seize the present opportunity : let them prosecute the noble purposes of this Society with au unquenchable ardour, aud most assuredly will it be shewn to the world, that under Ihe guardian ship of truth, England has escaped Ihe ruiu by which other nations have been smitten. " There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at its flood leads 011 to fortune, On such a full sea ate we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures." How will Ihe fact of England's redemption speak to the world ! When, instead of resembling other nations iu their decline and fall, she renews her youth like the eagle's, and, having cleared her hands, becomes stronger aud stronger, who can tell the impression i( will make? In their own destruc- tion may other states learn tha( siu is a ruin ( o a people, while in ( he rising glories of Britain, may they see that " righteousness cxalteth a nuliou "' We may thus become Ihe Pharaohs of ( he world. There is every ( hing in the preseiit aspect of public affairs to stimulate us iu the circulation of the Word of God. It has been asserted lhat " comiug events cast their shadows before." Some have thought the day is approaching when the friends and enemies of truth may be brought into a final struggle— a struggle by which power and dominion shall become the sole possession of one party— a snuggle in which every person shall take an interest. Already we see the neutral ground is being cleared, aud from recent occurrences we may anticipate the speedy arrival of a period iu which but two classes will exist. Those who aredecidedly for religion aud those who ure decidedly against it. A state of indifference may not much longer be possible. Now the Bible Society has done much towards clearing this neutral ground, and much more it will do. It is a standard around which the friends of truth gather. Au application to a person to contribute 10 its funds compels him to form some decision, or to utter definitely the sentiments by which he is actuated. It is impossible for him to take a serious interest ill religion, and yet stand aloof from the circulation of tbe Bible. Our Mis- sionary Societies, belonging chiefly to particular bodies, may be objected to by some persons who ' nevertheless are on the Lord's side, just us in a threatened invasion, I might refuse tu join a parti- cular regiment, ( hough willing to full into any general efforts for the safety of the king and the welfare of the country: and from the number of those who refuse when solicited to aid this Society, we may form an opinion of the result of a struggle, should God bring us to i(. If" comiug events cast their shadows before," we may anticipate the awful prevalence of infidelity, unless great effoits are made by ( his Socie( y. My reason lor thiukiug so is this. The diffusion of knowledge, so happily the work of these ( i6ies, will very oi'len give life aud vigour to conscience; and in infidelity will that conscience seek a Screen, if it be nol directed to the gospel. The deeds of darkness will come to light; and in infidelity will a sanction for them be sought, unless the pardon of the gospel be also made known. To prevent, therefore, the poisonous effect of perverted knowledge let us increase and perpetuate our exertions. We may also anticipate the pre- valence of lawlessness. Human law is evidently losing ils impressiveness, its authority Upon the mind. Priestcraft is 011 tbe wane. The age of tame submission is gone. But are we not iu danger of passing to the other extreme? Are there uo( al ready indications of reckless encroachments on just prerogative? And what can lay to rest ( his spirit, which would roam only to desolate, but thst truth which teaches ns to " honour all men ?" Lei us ( hen aim ( o bring ( hose who are emerging from the bonds of iguorance under tbe restraints of Heaven : let lis throw around tlieir necks the reins of eternity : lei us place obedience on Ihe footing of conscience, and secure it by rendering that con- science more ( ban a match for the passions. Let it not be inferred from the tenor of my remarks, that i regard this nation us ou the brink of ruin. Far from it. 1 am persuaded the vitals of our kingdom are sound and healthy. 1 am persuaded there never was a period in her history in fvhich lief constitu- tion was more vigorous. She would therefore be come a permanent blessing lo ( he world were she evaugelized. She would exhibit the glorious porter of the Gospel, not so much in imparting con- solation at the last hour as iu perpetuating life. That country which nature and providence had enriched would by religion become immortal. I conclude by expressing again my conviction, that through our gratitude, our hopes, our fears, does God now send to the friends of the Bible Society tbe charge already uttered— a charge echoed by the unutterable agonies of Hell, and the ineffable joys of Heaven. " Whatever thy hand fiudeib to do; do it with all thy might." The Rev. JodN RICHARDS said—" 1 could have wished, Sir, that to reply to the vote of thanks just passed had been assigned to oue of those gentlemen who are in every way, but especially by their unre milted zeal and long- continued services in the caUse of this Society, so much better qualified than myself io do so. To be allowed, however, in any measure, to be helpful iu advancing the interests of an Institd { ion, whose only aim it is ( o enlighten and renovate the world by the pure and unadulterated word of God, is surely an honour to be hailed with satisfaction and delight. And never was it more incumbent 011 the friends of Sacred Truth to exert every nerve in the distribution of the Holy Scriptures than at the present period. In ( his day uf rebuke and blasphemy when infidelity is puUing forth all its energies to destroy every moral obligation, how necessary it that we ourselves should be firmly united in affec tion, and cautiously avoid every thing which would weaken the operations uf this great and powerful engine, the renovating influence of which has been so extensively felt aiid acknowledged. If there are moral evils iu the world to correct, how are they to be corrected, but by that blessed word which we meet together ( o disseminate? Satan is fully aware that there is nothing more adapted to overthrow his empire in the world than this noble Institution; and having, therefore, striven in vain to demolish it by his enemies, lie has ifow altered his position, and appears wishful to try what he can do by some of its friends. This arch- fiend often transforms himself into an angel of light, and would impose on the credu- lity even of the sincere and upright in heart. Warily then should they guard against his machinations, lest by the false but specious colours with which he invests his temptations they should be taken iu his sriafe, and seriously injure that cause which they have avowed their determination, in the strength of God, to uphold. We have not yet to learn whether the British and Foreign Society is deserving of encou- ragement and support. From twenty- seven years' experience of the admirable spirit by which it has been animated, the good feeling which it has excited and Cherished, tbe liberal principles which have distinguished all its movements, and ( he immense blessings which it has conferred 011 the world, it is dear to our hearts; and every attempt to injure it we feel as we should a blow intended to wound a much- valued and beloved Parent. So simple is it in its object, and so admirable in its structure, that it has ever appeared to me as one of the finest institutions under heaven, and a distinguished privilege do esteem it to be associated with it. Great is the responsibility which devolves on us who are its mem hers, and strenuously, but mildly, should we resist those innovations which would destroy its unanimity and cripple its usefulness, nay, endanger, 1 might say, its very existence. But as it is not my purpose to trespass on your time and patience with a long speech, and especially in the presence of gentlemen before whom my entire silence would probably have been my wisdom, 1 w- ill merely add, let us then, in the contemplation of the past success of this Society, thank God aud take courage. This stately vessel has been safely piloted through many a storm, and should others await it, we trust in God it will slill fie pre- served. T'o the conduct of Him who in un instant stilled the raging of the sea, and assuaged the fury of the tempest, we commit it, well assured that with Him at the helm it will be sccure and infallibly accomplish all tbe goud pleasure uf his will." The Uev. MANOAH KENT said—" Various, indeed are the purposes for which men assemble together, but no one of them is of a more important character than that which lias brought us together this morn ing. We have met to promote the circulation of Hie Bible— that book which is stamped with the impress of heaven, reveals the character of God, and teaches the words of eternal life. We have felt great plea, sure in what we have heard from ( he worthy Secre- ( ary of ( lie Parent Institution respecting the circula tion of the Bible in our own country and in foreig lands; but though its circulation be much wider now than in former years, it will be admitted that in some respects it is very limited: hence there is a loud call made upon Ihe christian public of Great Britain, to bring into exercise their energies in promoting its circulation still wider and wider.— T he situation of men without the Bible is most affecting. They are walking in darkness without the true light— sailthg upon an ocean without a compass— travelling through a wilderness without a guide— under sentence of death wi( hout the way of life— aud bound to eternity without a directory to its felicities. Who can think of this without mourning over it— without being induced to lenti his aid in promoting the circulation of the Bible?— Its circulation has been attended with great good already, in uur own country and in dis- tant lands. We ourselves have derive^ many advan tages ( herefrom. What is it that has raised our native country to the rank it now possesses among the nations of the earth ? The politiciuu will ascribe it to the excellency of its constitution, the superiority of its laws, and the general cast of its politics; but the christian will ascribe it lo the principles of the Bible, which have become blended with its constitu- tion, its laws, and ils poli( ics. What is it that raises the tone of moral feeling in men, and urges them forward to works of benevolence and mercy. Some may reply, it is nature assisted by education, but the christian will reply it is nature benefitted by reve- lation. What is it that supports the heart of the true christian amidst the trials of life, that removes from his mind the fear of death, and that animates his sou) even in the prospect of eternity ? What is it but the principles, the doctrines, aud the prospects of the Bible ?— Various allusions have been made to the cause of Infidelity. The agents of Infidelity are very warm, and active, and persevering, ill opposing the spread of the Bible : but why, we ask, the warmth, the activity, and the perseverance they manifest ? Does an adherence lo the Bible injure a man's cha- racter, sink him in the scale of being, destroy his usefulness in society, pollute his morals, and render him 1111 object to be avoided by all ? Does it lessen his pleasures, bring remorse upon his conscience, give to death a sting, and render his situation miserable for ever ? If so, the agents of infidelity do well in their opposition, anil we would say to them, with the same philanthropy which leads us to circulate ( he Bible, 4 Go forward, and be stronger slill in your opposition.' But does it? No: it is upon infidelity we charge these things: hence our avowed and deter- mined opposition to it. The British and Foreign Bible Society, which contemplates the spread of the Bible throughout all nations, and people, and tongues, and languages under heaven, and which has done much towards this already, is a society in which pro- fessing christians of all denominations may meet and blend Iheir energies together in one common cause. It is not among the least advantages of this society that it tends to destroy prejudice, and to break down the middle walls of partition which appear in the christiau world. On the present occasion we rejoice ill what we see in the scene which is presented before us. We have a dignitary of the established church as our President and Chairman, supported on the one hand by a minister of that church, and on the other hand by a dissenting minister. This shews good feeling and great cordiality in the glorious work. Let the members of the established church take the lead in this and every other work of mercy, and we who are members of dissenting congregations will be content! to follow in their train, and will labour to provoke them forward to more abundant usefulness We have been accustomed heretofore to speak of Bible Meetings as meetings of love and concord ; but we are Sorry to think that another scene has lately been presented. Prejudice has ventured to raise hei head, and Discord to erect her standard, upon that platform beneath which it was hoped they were dead and buried. Let the friends of the Bible, however, erect 110 other standard than that of Love, and Pre- judice and Discord will again retire. How shgrt is human foresight, when it has to do willi the passions and feelings of men; but not so when it has to do with the Word of God. The promises of lhat Word are faithful, its prophecies certain, and its triumphs sure. The opposition made to its circulation, w hether from prejudice or principle ( if such a thing can exist), shall become as nothing, and like the angel of the Lord, spoken of in the book of the Revelations, it shall fly abroad, having in its bosom the everlasting goSpel to preach to the nations of the earth ." JoitS BATHER, Esq. said—" Mr. President, al- though the hour of the day admonishes me to be very brief in the few remarks I have to offer to the meeting, 1 must trespass upon you for a few moments in bringing fortvard a motion, which, though the last in order, is certainly not the least important that has claimed our consideration this day. I have to move That in the opinion of this meeting the comprehensive principle of the British and Foreign Bible Society has always formed one of its distinguishing excellencies, and, under the speeial blessing of Almighty God, has very eminently contributed to its extensive prosperity and usefulness, aiid seems calculated to secure its perpetuity. " s- That this Meeting deeply regrets the interruption which has been given to the harmony of that invaluable institution by attempts to establish a religious test determining the qualification for membership, and it deprecates the adoption of any such change in the laws of the Society as would prevent the co- operation of any persons who may be disposed to forwaid its all- important object. '< Sir, for twenty years we have been the faithful and attached though humble supporters of the British and Foreign Bible Society; anil I think it specially becomes us to s( and forward in i( s support, and in the support of the great and simple principle which holds us together, at a time when the latter has been most unwisely and unfairly attacked. Sir, it is with the greatest pain that 1 have seen an attempt made to destroy that agglutinating principle which alone hath cemented our rope of saml: if we abandon this principle, it is no longer a question of degree, no longer a question to what exlent we shall flourish, but whether we shall exist at all. Mutual respect, and mutual forbearance, or religious abstinence from all cavilling at the doctrinal opinions of each other, can alone enable us to co- operate for the uue great end of our union. Let us thank God that there is one object iu which wc can conscientiously co- operate, and seek no more. For my part, Sir, 1-- retreated into this Society as a haven, free, as I well hoped, from the storms of polemical discussion, and when it loses this character it has forfeited its best claim to my support. True it is the attack that has been made has been speciously made: all first attacks are: but introduce the point of the wedge, and soon will it be driven to its full cx( ent, and rend our Society in frag, ments. Once admit the right of imposing a test of religious opinion, and pursuing the consequenccs, how can you stop till you saddle us with all the damnatory clauses which the pervcrseness of the human mind, not the benevolence of the Divine nature, has engrafted upun our various religious creeds? I think, Sir, that in this season uf trial the Parent Society is entitled to our support. I trust that an universal declaration of ( he opinions of ils auxili- aries may be a comfort and a cordial to those honest meu who have adhered to its principles and direct its operations. So thinking 1 take leave to place the motion 1 have read iu your hands, and I claim for it unhesitatingly the unanimous support of those who wish well to our cause." Tbe motion was carried unanimously. Archdeacon BATHER, the Rev. EMII. IUS NICHOL- SON, the Rev. JOSEPH HUGHES, and other gentle- men, also addressed the assembly. LORD HILL'S DEJEUNE TO HIS MAJESTY.
