A WELSH WITNESS.—The attorney for an opposing cre- ditor in a bankruptcy case, on Thursday, before Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, thinking that a youth whom he was about to examine had rehearsed his part with the bank- rupt prior to entering the court, put the question usually propounded when suspicions of that sort arise :—" Well, my man, have you not seen the bankrupt since the last meeting" "Yes, I have," was the ready answer. "Well, sir (and be cautious how you answer the question), on your oath, what did he say to you On my oath, he said that I should find the commissioner a mild, gentlemanly man." Bristol Mercury. AMUSING ANECDOTE.—It is generally known, that the wives of archbishops and bishops do not cease to be wives when their husbands become spiritual peers. They are still styled Mrs. as, Mrs. Howley, wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury. A few mornings ago, Mrs. wife of an eminent Irish archbishop, went to the exhibition of the Royal Academy. It so happened that she arrived at the place some time before the hour of opening; but, seeing one of the porters, she desired him to open the door and let her in. The porter refused, respectfully stating that it was more than his place was worth to let any visitor in before the appointed time. "But do you know who I am" demanded Mrs. ——— "No, ma'am," replied the porter. "Then I am the lady of the Archbishop of Well, ma'am, I could not let you in if you were his wife."—Liverpool Albion.

CHURCHING THE QUEEN.—The ceremony of churching the Queen took place last week in the Chapel Royal. Buck- ngham Palace. The Archbishop of Canterbury officiated, assisted by the Bishop of London, Dean of the Chapel. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was present at the ceremony. The Bishop of Norwich attended as Clerk of the Closet, and the Hon. and Rev. C. Courtenay as Domes- tic Chaplain. The Lord and the Lady in Waiting, the two Maids of Honour, the Groom in Waiting, the Equerries to the Queen and to hia Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Master of the Household, were also present in the Chapel during its performance. AN IMPORTANT LINE.—In the will of the recently de- ceased Mr. Arkwright, there is one line which, perhaps, contains more than any one line that was ever before or may ever be written. It is—" I bequeath to my son-in-law, Sir R. Wigram, one million sterling." Sir R. Wigram married one of Mr. Arkwright's daughters; and had the father-in- law left his property to Lady Wigram, there would have been only £ 1 per cent payable as legacy duty; but having bequeathed £1,000,000 sterling to his son-in-law, there is £10 per cent. legacy duty to be paid, which amounts to £100,000. Thus a small portion of this leviathan fortune of £7,000,000 returns to the public. — Brighton Gazette. DESTRUCTION OF THE GREENWICH PIER.—The confident prediction that this costly building would crumble to pieccs in a short time, from the return of the spring tides, unfortu- nately proved correct. At about 11 o'clock on Tuesday se'n- night, just as the tide was rising, another tremendous crush was heard, which was at once attributed to the bursting of the piles in front of the pier. As soon as daylight appeared boats were put out to see the extent of damage, and the ap- pearance the pier then presented showed a great extent of injury, and left not the slightest hope of saving any portion. Pile after pile of ponderous timber, bound with iron, and fixed at the foundation in massive plates of iron, had been split and shivered, some falling inwards and others outwards, whilst the parade gave way in every direction, the fissures extending nearly the whole length, and the plates of iron being shivered like glass. It is quite impossible to stay the damage the whole must be left to its fate, and be washed down by the tides, when the greater part of at least 10,000 tons of earth, &c., which had been laid in between the wall and the road, to form the parade, will also be washed away. l^K&present appearance of this extensive pier is as if an Y*r"j—^JSrtiwuake had shivered it.

DISCUSSION AT NEWPORT OX THE…
DISCUSSION AT NEWPORT OX THE EDUCATIONAL CLAUSES OF THE FACTORY BILL. (CONTINUED FROM OGR LAST.) Mr. Stephen proceeded to show by a reference to English history, that the people of these countries were not indebted to the exertions of the Protestant Church for the possession of civil liberty. In opposition to Mr. Francis, said he, I maintain that we are under no obligation to the Church of England for our religious liberty. But we owe our civil freedom principally to this same incorporation—at least such was the doctrine of last evening. To prove this, my reverend opponent said that if there were any value to the cause of liberty in the revolution of 108S, we owed it to the church. Now we can read the history of that revolution as well as Mr. Francis. We naturally feel a deep interest in it. It was an important epoch in the march of opinion. I put this question to Mr. Francis.—Does he believe that if James the Second had been a high churchman, and had sought to op- press the Catholics and the Protestant* Dissenters, instead of being a Catholic, and seeking to restore Papacy, that the heads of the church would have submitted to that revolution, or that by them the Prince of Orange would have been sent for at all. It was their zenl for thcir own freedom that in- duced them to act the part they did. A proof of this is found in the fact, that as far as William had saved the Church of England from its dangers, he found it most difficult to get the Toleration Act passed, and it was effected by the energy of his indomitable ivill and the remainder of his life was disquieted by constant endeavours, on the part of those who acted in the spirit of the Establishment, to infringe upon the provisions of that act; and by the further fact, that under the Queen Ann, this spirit increased so that at the time of his death, measures were in actual preparation to abridge the liberties of Nonconformists. We owe, as I read the history of the country, the Church of England about as much for our civil liberty, as for our religious, and that is very little, indeed Mr. Francis will also have it that we are not the descendants of the Puritans. Well—will lie and his friends assume that honoured appellation He says they persecuted—I know they did, and they did it because they held the propriety of connecting the Church with the State, and no man can do that without holding also, as an inevitable corrollary, the propriety, nay, the necessity, of coercing opinion and punish- ing heresy. My opponent seemed much disturbed at my objecting to education by the State—I mean, religious edu- cation at all I still maintain, and am prepared to defend, the objection. If the State have aright to educate religiously it has a right to determine the character of the education. And how is the state to exercise this right 1 Is it to teach Protestant episcopacy in England, Papal episcopacy in Ire- land, and Presbytcrianism in Scotland. Are these three systems right Is Protestant episcopacy right and is Papal episcopacy right also 1 and then, is Presbyterianism again right What a multiform and Protaian thing is this < How many rights are there ? We see no escspe but by confining the duties of civil government to its own province. Govern- ment has no right to interfere with religious churches—it has not the power to do so legitimately and benefically; and hence we deduce as consequences the position I am defending. Mr. Stephen then quoted two resolutions on the bill recently come to by the Wesleyan Methodists of Leeds condemna- tory of the bill, and with which he and those with whom he acted, entirely concurred. Mr. Stephen then proceeded to prove the inaccuracy of the Rev. Mr. Francis, expressed with reference to the declaration that the British and Foreign Societies' Schools were comparatively few. My attention was first called to it by the person who was prin- cipally engaged in bringing the grant forward, and getting Parliament to vote it. Lord Brougham, in a lengthened conversation with which he honoured me in his own house some years ago, told me how this was settled, and pointed out the consequence. The government (Lord Grey's) wished to divide this grant equally between the two societies, and they decided upon helping those who help themselves. In this manner, they would give but part of the money necessary to build a school house—the parties engaged to find the other. For instance, they would say—If you find a moiety, we will vote the other. Now, the church people being generally the richer party, they managed in many districts to furnish the requisite sum, when the dissenters could not. The consequence was, they claimed their por- tion of the grant, and the money was voted to help the powerful, while the weak were left unaided, because they were weak. This principle of distribution has operated most injuriously in preventing the erection of British and Foreign Schools, and goes far to stulify the argument based by Mr. Vrancis on the small proportion of the grant voted to schools in connection with the liberal society. Mr. Francis, more- over, on the same ground, attempted to prove the fewness of Dissenting schools, or rather, the schools in which the children of Dissenters are taught. The fewness of British and Foreign Schools does not prove the fewness of schools where our children are taught; for certainly not half the Dissenting children that are taught, are taught in these schools. The rev. gentleman went out of the record to refer to a remark made by a gentleman at our first meeting that was, that he had a right, if it pleased him, to educate his child an atheist. I told Mr. Francis at the moment, that It was no remark of mine but this I did simply to apprise him that he was straying, and not because I cared for connecting it with my name. It may be used as a bugbear but it is a very innocent one, and it does not frighten me at all. There are some distintions we mnst keep in mind, or we can kuow nothing. This is one, that we have rights as it regards each other and civil society, which we do not possess towards God. We have no right before him to do anything inconsistent with His revealed will; but I have a right to do many things for which society cannot punish me, though they be wrong in the divine sight. It is so in tho case now before us. Mr. Francis has boldly avowed his intention, and thereby claimed his right, to educate his children Churchmen. I claimed a similar right to educate mine in the fear of the Lord, and I reverently hope I shall have grace and wisdom to do so. Now, if another man will educate his child an atheist, I cer- tainly should not like to be his neighbour but I deny that you have any right to punish him for it. To the Iost High alone he is accountable. If I have wearied you, it is because Mr. Francis has led me so far, and into so many directions, out of the record. There are some two or three particulars that I should like to touch upon, but I believe I have referred to all the salient points of the discussion. I am very happy to have so many reasons to believe that this discussion will produce no rancour, and create no animosity. I have not felt, nor do I feel, the slightest vexation or annoyance. I should be ashamed to show my face, if I 'were so thin-skinned as not to be able to hear calmly any attempt to disprove my principles. I could not comfortably appear among my fellows, if I could not at all times bear being told in temperate spirit and language that *1 was in error. I thiuk the same feelings are cherished on both sides. Mr. 1* rancis last night invited those who think with him to rally round the Church of England. He had a perfect right to do so. I have a similar right, and I earnestly invite all who think with me, to use their utmost efforts to defeat this attempt to abridge our liberties. I for one am not willing to leave my country worse than I found it, and leave my children a more contracted freedom then their father en- joyed, It is our duty to maintain these rights jealously and resolutely. It we do not at all times throw our influence into the contest between Despotism and Liberty, who will? We cannot call on the subjects of the Autocrat of all the Russias—having no freedom themselves it is useless to go to Prussla-wllere there is no constitution, but an unmixed despotism; for the same reason we get no aid from Austria; and almost as unavailing will it he, to expect aid from France, in the working of whose government, at all events, some, of the primordial elements of religious freedom are wanting. It is left to us to maintain a sleepless watchful- ness in the cause of liberty, assisted only by our descendants and fellow-labourers across the Atlantic. Mr. Stephen concluded, amid much applause, when The Rev. James Francis rose to reply. At this late hour, he said, it would be impossible for me to notice the several particulars in Mr. Stephen's address; and must, therefore, adopt the suggestion of a friend near me, who advises me to comment upon those statements only which appear of most importance. (Confusion.) I thought I was addressing an assembly of Englishmen, but no proceeding can be more un-English than these unseemly interruptions. I was fully entitled to a. fair and candid hearing, having consented, con- trary to all precedent, that my opponent should have twenty- four hours to prepare an answer to my address and yet you are ungenerous enough to endeavour to put me down by clamour the moment I commenced an unpremeditated reply. You would do well to imitate the high example set you by the Churchmen in that room, though they inter- rupted me in every possible manner when delivering my address last night; yet there has been no attempt at retalia- tion on the part of my friends. Mr. Stephen has met with no interruption. Yau have cheered him, contrary to the stipulation entered into at the opening of the meeting yet scarcely a murmur of disapprobation was heard from those who support me. [The confusion continuing, the chairman rose, and with much energy of manner, said, I am ashamed of you. Mr. Stephen has been fairly heard, and it is scanda- lous that Mi. I rancis should be interrupted. I will insist upon his having a hearing, if I am eVen obliged to get the police to remove those who are causing the confusion." Order being in some degree restored, Mr. Francis proceeded.] I was, I confess, a good deal surprised at the opening state- ment of the address of my opponent, in which he endeavoured to make it appear, that I was the sole cause of this contro- versy. The ground of the allegation is, that I came forward of my own accord at a meeting which they had for the specific purpose of petitioning against the Bill. I have before stated, and I again repeat it, that the speakers at that meeting thought it quite as necessary to vilify the Church as to speak against the -!3ill: Had they confined themselves to the subject for which it was professedly called, I should not have interfered with them in the exercise of their undoubted right of petitioning but as they went out of their way to attack the Church, I felt that it was my duty to ask the chairman permission to say a few words and I appeal to you, sir, whether I obtruded myself on that meeting, without having first obtained your consent. Mr. Stephen, I think, might have been well satisfied with the report of the proceedings as given in the impartial columns of the Merlin, without making a very unnecessary display of his prowess by subsequently sending me a challenge in that paper. I have been told that Mr. Stephen's friends concur in my views of this matter, and that they have told him that his challenge was perfectly uncalled for. This,however, is not a matter of much con- sequence, and I, therefore, proced to notice his next state- ment, viz., that I travelled out of the record. I am IIOt satisfied of this but granted that I did so, yet I thin* the meeting will agree with me, that he manifested considerable caution in not travelling into it. Why,hemostanxiously avoided every point of importance in my address, and this after twenty-four preparation. What a length of time was consumed on the subject of the trust of the proposed schools, a point which I distinctly stated, I regarded as of little importance. I contended that the Church was entitled to a preponderating influence in the management ot the schools, from the fact, that she constituted the great majority of the nation; and I established this by a reference to docu- ments which all must allow to be unexceptionable, but he never glanced at this. He could not successfully controvert the statement, and as long as it could not be disproved, the most convenient way was to pass it over without notice. For all the ingenuity in the world would not be sufficient to make it appear, that if the Church has a majority on her side, she has not a right to demand a proportionate influence in the management of the proposed schools. It is in vain to appeal, as was done on a previous occasion, to the repeal of the test' and corporation acts, and that the Constitution grants equal religious rights to all. The repeal of these acts was never meant to put the minority on a footing with the majority, and to plead for it is to claim the right of tyrannis- ing over the Church, and of degrading her from rightful position. This was the material point in my argument that ought to have been grappled with, but this he couklnot do, and, therefore, he has recourse to the weak, though unfortu- nately common, expedient of putting prominently forward topics to excite the minds of the audience, and to divert their thoughts from the proper subject in dispute. The next I attempt made was to sustain the objection that the Bill was unconstitutional. I stated last night, that I did not consider myself competent to argue questions of Constitutional law. I have always, however, cherished the most ardent attach- ment to our unrivalled Constitution. If I could embrace Mr. Stephen's doctrine of the Constitution, I should be brought to-night, for the first time in my life, to believe that there were serious defects in that Constitution. If no taxes can be raised constitutionally for the education of the poor, then, I think, it would be well to amend the Constitution; yet somehow or other I have always thought that taxes levied under the authority of an Act of Parliament, which, in the event of the Bill becoming law would be the case, were levied with consent, as all parties are considered as giving their consent through their representatives. But to proceed. My assertion, that the Church has done more in promoting the education of the poor than the Dissenters, has been im- pugned, but my statement rested upon documents which incontcstibly prove the point. Nothing like argument was attempted to prove the contrary, but it was 'most complacently asserted, that if Dissenters had had the same means, that we have had, they would have done more. Indeed, who told you that? Oh you reply, look at the Report of the Charity Commissioners. And what of that. Is human natuiv so pure in Dissenters, and so corrupt in Churchmen, that it is impossible for Dissenters in the lapse of-ages, and under any and every imaginable combination of circumstances, ever to abuse a Charity! I know of no reason why Dissenters should draw such invidious comparisons between themselves and Churchmen. Are Dissenters more upright in their dealings than Churchmen 1 Are they found to be less susceptible of corrupting influences than Clllu.chmen1 for my own part I think not; and again I repeat the question, what ground have you for this offensive sentiment! You will, perhaps, say, because it has never been proved that we wre ever guilty of abusing any public charity. Perhaps not, but do you know why? Because you never had any to abuse. No, all the Educational Charities of the country are the bequests of Churchmen. Look at Coulston's School at Bristol. Inquire into the origin of almost any similar institution. Let Dissenters point to a solitary instance of a school endowed by one of themselves for the general education 01 the poor. No wonder you never abused these. None of your ancestors have felt enough of interest in the education of the poor to endanger your integrity. You may, indeed, boistof your virtues in these matters, when the want of charity h your societies put you beyond the reach of temptation. But Joseph Lancaster, we are next told, was greatly impelled in his endeavours to promote education by the clergy of his day. But it was admitted that George the Third supported him most strenuously. Well, was George the Third a Dissenter 1 I suppose not; for little as I know about constitulioml law, I happen to know that the sovereign of these realms must be a Churchman so that after all it appears from Mr. Stephen's own showing, that there was, at least, one considerable churchman as long ago as the days of Joseph Lancaster, who take a lively interest in the education of the poor. By the way, what is become of the Lancasterian School ir, this town, There is nothing like examples taken fiom near home. Is it, or is not, true, that as soon as the National Schools were opened in this town, the Dissenters of New- port, with all their zeal for the education of the ooor, let that institution go to the ground, and, worse than all, have never to this day paid the master's salary—a master to whose ability I gladly bear testimony. A man, too, with a Tery large family; and at this very moment the Dissenting committee of the Lancastrian School owe him nearly £ 100. Oh! if Churchmen had done this, how heartily you would shout out shame." I now proceed to notice a subject of solemn interest, and that is, the comparative influence of the Church and Dissent on the population. I thought the case, as I had put it. was strong enough against Dissent; but Mr. Stephen has greatly increased the difficulties of his positioi hy the disclosures he has made. The number of petitbns from this neighbourhood, and the amazing amount of signatures attached to them, shewed that Dissent was greatly prevalent in the hills, but now we learn that the Dissenters ha-e erected not fewer than two hundred chapels in that neighbourhood, and some of these chapels have congregations so numerous, that I have never seen anything approaching to t in our largest churches; and yet the desperate condition of the population of that district is too plain to be disputel. What a comment, this, upon Dissent. Does any man living sup- pose that if there were only a hundred churches in that neighbourhood the Newport riots would ever have taken place, or that it would require a large military force to preserve the peace of the county. (Tremendous uproar and hissing.) Mr. Francis said—You may hiss as much as you please, but you will not put me down. I am resolved you shall hear the truth at whatever peril to myself. I can state, that at the time of the riots there was not a single Church- man among the wounded. I went, as my duty was. after that melancholy affray, and visited the dying and the wounded. Nearly all the wounded were afterwards removed to the Workhouse, where they were under my chaige and I had it from the lips of some of them, that they hid never in their lives been in a church above once or twice, and ther. only at a wedding or a funeral. There was, indeed, one man who had been a Churchman, and a teacher in my Sunday-school, who took a very prominent part in the pro- ceedings of that fatal day but he left the church long before the riots, and went to a Dissenting chapel. I have now in my possession very affecting letters from him, in which he attributes all his misfortunes to his leaving the church. (Great confusion.) Mr. Stephen says that Wales is a Dis- senting country and he asks me to point out any part of England where the population are more peaceable. Has he heard nothing of the lawless mobs that have lately been demolishing the turnpike-gates there 1 and I know, if he does not, that the neighbourhood in which these outrages have been committed are evidently dissenting. The church is every where sufficiently strong in Wales to exert, at least, a considerable degree of beneficial influ- ence. No doubt, Dissent has done much to promote the moral improvement of many districts of the Principality and I allude especially to the Welsh Methodists. But from whence had they their origin*?—from the church; and I am old enough to remember many ordained clergymen among the preachers of that connection. These men retain much of that love of order, which is one of the leading characte- ristics of the church in which they were educated, produce an influence amongst that body of Dissenters very different from that which has since began to spring up amongst them. The Methodists are yet, in some degree, distinguiseed by their peaceable demeanour, whercas the Baptists and the Independents exercise much the same influence, in proportion to their numbers, as they do in the hill districts of this county; but my opponent endeavoured to elude the force of my reasoning by citing the case of Thomas, who, he says, collected several followers within the sound of Canterbury bells. But what was this poor wretched man after all but a Dissenter ? and what did he and his followers more than act upon the doctrine so industriously inculcated by Dis- That every man has a right to start a new sect, and that who eycr will has a right to follow him. Mr. Francis then proceeded, amid much interruption, to discuss the other topics brought forward by Mr. Stephen, and, in proceeding to conclude his address, said—I have now noticed the greater part of Mr. Stephen's arguments, but, before closing, I should much like to discuss the principle which involves the whole of this discussion, and which, though often touched upon, ought to have received far more atten- tion but in the midst of so many interruption the thread of the argument would be so constantly broken, that it would be vain to attempt it. This would be the proper way to test the truth of the assertion lately made in this place by a Dissenting minister, namely—" That every man has aright to bring up his child an Atheist," and which Mr. Stephen has this evening adopted. On this point, all that I will now say is, that Lock, who is a great authority amongst Dis- senters, was of a very different opinion. He even goes so far as to contend than an Atheist has no right to toleration, for denying the being of a God. He can have no regard for the sanctity of an oath, and holding principles clearly subversive of the foundations of society, he tan claim none of the privileges of the social state. (Cheers.) Lock may or may not be right, but I may safely leare Dissenters to settle this matter with him. I feel confident that good will arise from this discussion; and I can safely say, that I retire from it free from every angry feeling. I fel none towards my opponent—none towards Dissenters no, nor yet towards those Chartists who have strove so hard to show their love of freedom and fair play by interrupting ne (loud cheers) and I hope the feelings I have now tlescribed as my own are possessed in common by the whole assembly. (Cheers.) Mr. Francis then proposed a vote of tianks to the chair- man, with whose conduct he appeared entirely satisfied. This was seconded by Mr. Stephen, and carried by accla- mation. The mayor returned thanks, after which the meeting quietly dispersed. The excitement produced by the controversy has been immense. THE FACTORY BILL. WHATEVER may be the fate of the Factory and Education Bill-(tind we confess that from the shape it has now assumed we feel very little anxiety about it)--neitlier the Government nor the Church has any reason to regret its present position. On this point we appeal with confidence to the judgment of every candid and unprejudiced man in the kingdom. The authentic details submitted to Parliament by Lord Ashley had laid bare such a mass of ignorance and (Iel)r;tvity -tile Assizes and Quarter Sessions throughout the kingdom had exhibited such an alarming increase of vice and crime, that it became the bounclentluty of those entrusied with power to endeavour to provide a remedy. Accordingly the Ministry, acting in the spirit of true benevolence, submitted to the consideration of Parliament and the country, a measure cal- culated not only to supply a sound scriptural education for the children of the poor, but to rescue them from the inflic- tions of the billy roller, (the overseer's staff, often made to descend with vengeance upon their tender forms), and the horrors of imprisonment. It having been admitted on all hands that this desirable work could not he accomplished without the aid of the Church, they invited her co-operation, giving her unquestionably a preponderating influence in the good work, hut at tho same time making large concessions to those who dissented from her communion. It is true that some of her members regarded the particular plan proposed as a dereliction of principle, yet we are justified in Raying that the Church generally looked upon it with a favourable ev«. She came forward and oflered to instruct those who required it in the best of all knowledge, their duty to their Maker, their neighbour, and themselves; and how has the offer been received ? With the most perfect scorn and contempt. Had she desired to teach the inhabitants of Christian England the doctrines of Juggernaut or Siva, of Moloch or Mahomet, she could not have been treated with greater contumely or hate by the dissenters. Her book of prayer has been trodden under foot-lier spiritual food compared to poison, and it has been openly declared by a professed teacher of the Gospel that her efforts to instruct the people ought to be resisted to blood Such is the nature of the opposition, and as we observed at the outset, it is not the Church that has any reason to regret its conduct—it is not the Church that stands in the way of an endeavour to rescue the mass of the people from heathenish darkness and degradation. Sir James Graham's ample concessions have, as we ex- pected, been received with no greater favour then the original proposition. The olive branch has been refused and sent back in a tone of defiance. That these concessions on the part of the Government were dictated by a good spirit, and that the speech of the Home Secretary was a model of Christian feeling as well as eloquenee, must be admitted, yet we cannot but regret for two reasons that the offer was made -first because it was quite evident after the fate of Lord John Russell's resolutions, that it would not be accepted, and next because a disposition in statesmen continually to yield, gives them the appearance of having no fixed principles, no settled rules of action whether correct or not, people are apt to place such in the ranks of the Doubtful and the Waverers Ditbiiis is such a scrupulous good man,— Yes, you may catch him tripping, if you can. He would not, with a peremptory tone, Assert the nose upon his tace his own; With hesitation admirably slow, He humbly hopes-presllmes-it may be so. Through constant dread of giving truth offence, He ties up all his hearers in suspense Knows what he knows as if lie knew it not; What he remembers, seems to have forgot; His sole opinion, whatsoe'er befall, Centering at last in having none at all." It may be that in this case the members of the Church themselves are not free from blame, for with the exception of a petition from Liverpool signed by six or seven thousand individuals, and one or two meetings of an influenzal charac- ter, the Government was not supported in its philanthropic design as it ought to have been. There was no demonstration to counteract the mass of vituperation and misrepresentation on the other side, and consequently the Ministry were not supplied with the fullest and most accurate information as to the real feeling of the country in regard to their measure. But whatever might have been the course which the Govern- ment would have adopted in that case, it is now upon record that although it has virtually been offered to the dissenters that they should elect a large proportion if not a majority of the trustees of the schools proposed to be established that all the masters except the chief, might be persons of their own persuasion that they should have the right of sending their children to whatever Sunday-school they pleased that some portion of every day should be set apart for the instruction of these children by authorised dissenting teachers; that they need not learn the catechism nor attend the ministrations of the Church—although, we say, all this was conceded, the proposition was decidedly and at once rejected. What then, can he the real object of the dissentientsl Lord Brougham has observed that Churchmen were very anxious for educa- tion, but still more anxious that the sects should be repressed —the sects were anxious that the people should he educated, but still more anxious that THE CHURCH SHOULD BE PULLED DOWN :which portion of this remark of that brilliant but erratic genius is true, and which false, we may safely, after what has just been stated, leave it to the calm obeserver to decide. There cannot, we think, be two opinions upon the utter futility of all attempts to reconcile that which is irreconcilea- hie-to dovetail, as it were, the modes of the sectaries with the discipline of the Church. Supposing it to be practicable, a distracting and injurious effect must be produced upon the minds of children, and indeed upon those of others, by the "t circumstance of Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, Baptists, Independents, and Primitive Methodists all teaching in the same school, or expounding the Scriptures to the same scholars: but of all the extravagant and unreasonable pro- positions of which we ever heard, one in the amended" Factory and Education Bill, is the most outrageously absurd. The principal masters of the schools are to be members of the Church of England—that is, men fully convinced that the truths taught therein are in accordance with Scripture, and yet if they utter one word in the course of their instructions which may savour of a preference of that Church to which they are conscientiously attached, they are liable to he dis- missed This is an extinction of the right of forming or giving utterance to an opinion, and we do not think that any respectable person enabled to obtain even the scantiest liveli- hood in any other way, would accept the appointment under such conditions. It is now perfectly clear that neither advantage nor even ordinary comfort would follow the establishment of a general plan of education which should engraft upon the system adopted by the Church that of other denominations of Christians. In this respect the Church must stand alone, and the Dissenters must, as at present, pursue their own course. The only point for consideration is, whether it is not possible to frame a measure which, preventing collision and interfer- ence, shall direct their efforts to one common and beneficial end. This is an object which may well occupy the careful at tention of the most experienced and distinguished statesman —a task which, by the allowance of time for more mature consideration, may become less insurmountable than it appears at present.
'-'"f""""-""""""".........................."'"........--""",-HOUSE…
f" HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY. The Lord Chancellor proceeded to state to their Lordships the result of the inquiry of the committee upon the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill. It appeared that the counsel (Mr Austin) had hitherto failetl in ohtaining evillence of general corruption and bribery, and that in consequence ol a sug- g-estiol1 from a noble Lord that he ought not to proceed with the case, unless fully prepared to ubstantiate it, he had stated to the House that he did not think such a case could be made out. Lord Brougham moved the second reading of the bill that day six months; but, in consequence of the absence of the Marquis of Clanricarde (who had charge of the bill), agreed to postpone his motion till to-day. Lord Brougham then called their Lordships' attention to a communication which he had received from Lord Corehouse relative to the Scotch Church, which he read at length. The house then resolved itself into a committee on the Townsliend Peerage Bill. The Registration of Voters Bill was read the third, and the Queen's Bench Officers Bill the second, time. The House then adjourned. FRIDAY. On the presentation of a petition by the Marquis of Down- shire against the repeal of the union. Lord Beaumont said, he had not intended to say a word upon the most painful subject just allulled to, and even now it was with great reluctance that he rose but after the remark of the noble marquis and the wish he had expressed that some portion of the Roman Catholic body woultl disclaim the senti meuts put forth by Dr. Higgins, he (Lord Beaumont) rose as a member of that body to say mostùistiuctly and unequivocally that anything more disgraceful had never issued from the mouth of any individual. (Hear, hear.) He went further, and said that the conduct of the Roman Catholic priesthood, if it had been such as was represented, was likely to injure that religion much more than any persecution ever had done. e Hear, hear.) It was part of their positive duty to act just in the contrary way to what thpy were now doing. They were the ministers of peace, and as such ought to support the laws, which could alone maintain the peace of the empire. But if they lent their assistance to the present agitation in Ireland, they were sowing those seeds which must afterwards spring up in blood and war, and as such, therefore, they were acting contrary to the views and spirit in which they were em- powered by their superiors, and were pursuing a course which was calculated not only to injure .their own country, but which was injurious to the very church of which they were ministers. (Hear, hear.) He hoped and trusted, that what had fallen from all parties, both in their lordships' house and the other house of Parliament, would have the effect of caiming in the outset the present agitation, and putting a stop to it. If this were not the case and there should be an absolute necessity to take stronger measures, he would say for himself, and he was pretty certain lie was only speaking the sentiments of many of his co-religionists, that they would feel no hesitation in supporting those measures which the Government might think it necessary to enforce. (Hear, hear.) There could be no doubt, that to call this question a religious question in Ireland was a total falsehood, It was a quostio)4 between confusion and anarchy on the one side, and peace, religion, and good feeling on the other. (Hear, hear.) In that light alone he looked at it, and when the Government called on the house for measures to support the peace, he for one should give his vote heartily in support of them. The Earl of Kenmare expressed his entire concurrence in the observations of the noble lord.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY. Mr. Sharman Crawford yesterday enjoyed an opportunity of aùdrrssing the House of Commons on the subject ot popular iions .1 representation. lie contended that in the earlier days of this country the elective franchise lVas more generally distributed than at present, and he proposed to cure the evils of these modern times, by extending the sutfragp, hy shortening the duration of Parliaments, and by establishing the billot. reiiieti es lie strenuously recommended to a very noisy and inattentive, though by no means nemerous, audience, from whom he solicited permission to introduce a bill embody- his plan. Mr. Ward thought it would be n benefit to the House to have a certain infusion of the working classes, and held it his bounden duty to support this motion. Let any man analyse the division iist of last Monday, and he would see that more than three-fourths of the majority belonged to classes in- terested in the vote they gave. He would not go so far as to admit universal suffrage; but he did think the Iranchi.-e might be much further extended. Sir R. Peel animadverted on the inconsistency of Mr. Ross's course, and considered himself to be treating the motion f';i 1 r i i), I ()I' it's 'inil tile (iii)ver more res)iectftiiii,, by a I tention to oppose them. Every one ot the topics embraced in the scheme of the mover would take a debate by itself and he, therefore, must decline any lengthened discussion on a pro- posal combining them all. lie would say, however, that if every individual had an abstract right to an equal voice, he could not understand how the continuance of a House of Lords should be tolerated. Mr. Crawford replied, and the House For the motion 32 Agaiustjt 101 Maioritv against it <>0 Mr. Roebuck then moved a resolution, in disapproval of any plan of national education that should attempt to inculcate peculiar religious opinions. llgl()t Is The proposition after a debute was negatived by 156 to GO. FRIDAY. The House proceeded to the order of the day (or going into committee on the Canadian questions. Lord St;, "ley then said, the purport of the resolutions of which he had given notice for the committee was, that the Ca- nadian Legislature had passed an act, which now awaited the Crown's assent, for imposing a duty of 3s. per quarter on foreign wheat imported into Canada, and which act had been so passed in the expectation that Her Majesty would recom- mend to Parliament a reduction in the duties on wheat and flour imported into the United Kingdom; and that it was, therefore, expedient to provide that, should that act receive Her Majesty's assent, the import duty into England on wheat from Canalh thoulll be reduced to Is. per quarter, with a pro- portionate reduction on flour.) Lord Stanley said he was aware that he could use no argument which would not expose him to opposition from one party or other; but he would en- deavour to state the matter with perfect fairness. His pro- posal was, not to let American wheat into England, but to let into England Canadian wheat and flour ground in Canada, from whatever growtn it may be manufactured, at reduced duties. It had been decided many years ago in the Exchequer, that ostrich-leathers dressed in France were to be deemeu French produce for the purpose of duty; and it was the broad principle of the navigation laws, that the manu- factured articles of any country are to be regarded as its own produce. Upon this principle, flour manufactured in Canada was, in point of law, Canadian produce; and the uniform practice had,been to deal with it as such. Some had talked of this as a measure for letting wheaten produce into England through a Canadian backdoor; but this backdoor had been open these 15 years; and the effect of the present measure was to take a toll of 3s. at that door, instead of allowing all wheat to pass through it into Canada, as at present, duty free. At the present day the duty on corn imported into England was a variable duty, and so he purposed to leave it still; but he sought to convert the duty on the importation of flour from Canada into a total fixelI duty of 4s. per quarter whereas the average receipt for several years last past had been only about 2s. Id. It was said he was coming to a fixed duty of 4s. on wheat-no such thing; this was a tixed duty on flour; anJ a wlic,it-no such thin,; fixec] duty only in reference to a range of four shillings. For the sake of so small a variation, it had not been thought worth while to ,ive up the superior simplicity of the fixed duty prin- ciple; it could be only for the sake ot a very extensive range that a country would find it answer to maintain that com- plicated machinery of the averages which was necessary for the application of a sliding scale. He now came to a more important point-would the duty be levied in Canada For he admitted, that if not, that would be a strong argument against his measure. He then described the geographical character of the boundary, and showed the physical imprac- ticability of smuggling to any great extent from America into Canada. He proceeded to state that the whole quantity of wheaten produce which within the entire period of the last 13 years had come into this country from Canada, either in the shape of wheat or of flour, was only 1,153,000 quarters, being about 90,000 per annum and this under a state of law which imposed no duty at all upon American wheat entering Canada. He quoted some observations published in an American paper upon this, intended measure of the British Government, which were to the effect that the Aijericati corn- grower would not be enabled by means of it to bring his pro- duce to England, He advocated this measure, therefore, not as a free trade proposal for letting in American corn, but as a proposal for the benefit ot our Canadian fellow-subjects, just emerged from a civil war, just consolidated into one province, and confiding with a friendly spirit in the disposition of the 11 11 mother country to deal kindly and justly by them. Mr. Labouchere would not attempt to gain the votes of the agriculturists by pretending that this measure would cause any considerable importation of corn into this country; but he thought the noble lord had not a right to treat the House as ptedged to the Canadians, merely because last session some- thing had been thrown out by him on this subject without objection on the part ot other members. He could not view witi)outa)arm the attempt now made to set up a principle of protection and ol agricultural exclusion in Canada. Though he did not believe that the measure would produce any influx of American corn into England, he was by no means satisfied that there would be no smuggling into Canada; on the con- trary, he suspected that the new proposal woutdinsome degree combine the evils ot the two opposite systems—it would introduce a little protection and a little smuggling. Certainly there were some classes of the Canadians who would be inter- ested to encourage, the contraband tritilo-tll, corn factors, for instance, aud the millers. And it was unwise to set the Ca- nadian corn-growers upon looking to such resources as those of lIIonopoly and protection. Ie TfcapituLltell the grollnds of his opposition to the proposal ot Government, and moved an address to the Crown to Ithhold. the ltoyal asent from the bill passed by the Canadian Legislature. Mr. G. Bankes was at a loss to account for Mr. Labon- chere's proposal thus to reject the first hill of the new Canadian Union—the hill of an independent Legislature. But he re- gretted that at a time when the prices of agricultural produce were so much lower than any man had expected that they would be, such a measure should have been introduced without some previous inquiry by a select committee into the character of the Canadian corn trade, and the probable effects of such a change. Lord Howick, Mr. Miles, Mr. Liddel and others addressed the House, when the debate was adjourned. GEXERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTI.AXD.- The Caledonian McrcnrJi, says that the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland had just commenced its sittings. After the usual preliminary sermon, which was preached by Dr. Walsh, Moderator of the last General Assembly, and was filled with allusions to the cause of discord which is now agitating the Scottish Church, the members proceeded to open the Assembly. Upon the Commissioner, :he Marquis of Bute, ascending the chair, Doctor Welsh rose and read the Assembly a long protest, in which the grievances of the secession party are fully set forth, and which had received a large number of signatures. Having concluded, he and his party left the Assembly Hall, thus demonstrating their reso- lution to retire from the bosom of the Church to which they had hitherto belonged. Principal Haldane was then voted to the chair, and the proceedings were going on at the time when our contemporary's express left.
