Lord Brougham, on Saturday, entered a notice on their Lordships' books, that, on Tuesday, the 19th of May, he should proposed his often-promised resolution relative to education. The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the Irish Church, and to report upon the number of adherents to the Establishment in that country, have nearly finished their labours; and it is expected that the Report will be ready to be presented to Parliament before the end of next month. No sooner was it known in Manchester that io the event of Lord John Russell taking a seat in the Cabi- net, that the Tories intended to raise a fund to oppose his return for Devonshire, than, in a few hours, sub- scriptions to the amount of 5001. were raised to aid the expense which his Lordship may incur the contest. The sum, the first part of the subscription, was sent off by the post of Friday night to be placed at the disposal of his Lordship's Committee." A certain appointment to a Northern embassy, which caused so much discussion among private and public politicians, was, accordingto report, not so much a mat- ter of choice as of expediency. The intended Ambas- sador is said to have applied most strenuously for the Vice-Royalty of the sister kingdom, which the powers that were," would not grant to him of course; but, as a kind of "set off," and safety valve, the Embassy was offered, accepted, and ultimately resigned, after occa- sioning a world of gossip. The Leeds Mercury says that Mr. John Stuart Wortley will be brought forward by the Conservatives in opposition to Lord Morpeth. The Metropolitan Criminal Returns exhibit a consi- derable decrease of crimes during the last year. There is also a falling off to a remarkable extent in the charges of drunkenness: the number being, in 1833, 29,880; in 1834,10,101. We regret to learn that the opposition to the Great Western Railway is maintained with the same obstinacy as in the preceding Session of Parliament, though with- out the remotest chance of ultimate success. If (as we have heard) the agents of a Canal Company are among the most active of the opponents, their conduct in squan- dering the property of their employers in an endeavour so utterly hopeless, as that of preventing the execution of a railway communication between Bristol, Bath, and London, will, we trust, meet with the reprobation it de- serves. We are informed, indeed, that they have al- ready received intimation of the disapprobation with which their proceedings are regarded, by apart, at least of their proprietors.- Bristol Journal.
