The number of tons of goods traffic is above a miHion, or above, two millions of tuns per annum, above, half of which is derived from coals. The number of horses carried is under 10,003, or under 21),003 per annum. The number of carriages carried is about i.5,000, or 30,000 per annum. The number of cattle doe3 not exceed 10,000 or 20,000 per annum. The number of sheep is a'so trifling in comparison, being about 5!),0fi0 or 100,000 per annum. The number of pig-s is under 80,000, or 160,000 per annum. When we consider the millions of passengers carried, the accidents and loss of life must appear most ti ifling.

LORD PALMERSTON AN!) THE CHINA QUESTION. (From a Ministerial Paper.) A deputa'ion from merchants connected with the China and India trade had an interview with Viscount Palmerston ill the course of last week on the subject of the recent events iu China It would appear that the deputation rested their complaints mainly upon two poinh-naI!lP]Y, the inadequacy of the indemnity proposed to be paid by the Chinese govemlilPnt to this country, and the want of any sufficient security having proviife(I for the personal safety and independence of British residents in China by the arrangements which Captain Elliot was said to have entered into with the Chinese plenipotentiary. The answer of Viscount Palmerston was, we hear, to the eiTect, that as yet lie was acquainted only with the principles agreed to between the plenipotentiaries namely, that the Emperor was to cede to the British Crown a ter ritorial possession in Cliiiit, that anindemnitywasto be paid to the British government, and that theoflicial intercourse between the two countries was for the future to be conducted on terms of perfect equality. As yet his lordship knew nothing beyond tiie admission of these important principles; and, as it was expressly stated that the details were to he the subject of further negotiation, it necessarily followed that it was impos- sible for his lordship to come to any conclusive opinion as to the acts of the British plenipotentiary until in full possession of the details of the further negotiations so alluded to This, we believe, substantially describes what oc- curred at the interview between the Foreign Secretary and the deputation, but of course we can speak only from report.

Private letters from Paris announce that the French Cabinet has dispatched all expedition, consisting of a frigate nnd corvette, to China. M. Jatisigny, the writer of an article which lately appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes, relative to the English posi- tion in China, and M. Page, Aide de Camp of Ad. miral do Maekau, are charged with a mission to Pekiti, to establish direct relations with China. An island has been discovered between the Cape of Good Hope and Australia, in which there are valuable coal mines.

STEAM Pitopf.r.r.Ktts.— On Thursday week the Marin, Cap'aiu Longsdale, for Calcutta, left the West India Docks on her outward voyage. This fine vessel has been fitted with a 20 horse engine, and a pair of Mr Melville's patent propellers, to be used as an auxiliary in caltn weather. The success of this experiment is looked forward to with much interest, as it is consi- dered tii.it this will be an exprrimcntum cruris, which will determine how far this kind of auxiliary power will shorten tije lime usually required for the voyage to The engine, a higlj pressure one, of ex- tremely simple construction, has been made bv Mr Beale, of East Greenwich The patld'es are precisely similar to those of til" small experimental boat, the Propeller, which has for several months been convey- ing passengers between Blackwall and fireenwich. The ,vlio'e Of the (,Xtvrtl;ti machinery can ho unshipped in an exceedingly short space of time, and cii) be stowed away in any part <>f the vessel. There are no paddle boxes or paddle wheels, and at a very short distance the propelling apparatus cannot be discovered, even when in operation, except by the escape of the uncon- densed steam. There is no smoke from the funnel, owing to the plan which is adopted of using rotary fans for conveying air to the furnace. A large party of scientific and nau'ic«l gentlemen proceeded down the river in the, vessel, many of who ill went with her as far as Gravesend. A cold collation was provided by the owners on b.jard, which had ample justice done to it by the company and a strong feeling was ex- pressed by those most competent toguc an opinion on the subject, that great advantages must result from the use of Mr Melville's invention. In addition to her cargo, the Maria carries out with her a great number of troops; anil, it is calculated, that in con- sequence of the probable shortening of the usual tilllP of the voyage, as much will be saved f, oi-i the main- tenance of such a large number of men, as will nearly pay the expense of titling the vessel with tho fctcain appara I u,Railway Magazine. CnUIICn\IAS'!I REASON FOU BEISU so. It is enough, then, for a Churchman to reply, when asked, H Wh.v he is a Churchman?" That he is a Church- man because ho sees no reason for not belonging to his national Church." But it is not enough for a Dissenter to say that lie. is a Dissenter from the national religion, because lie has been brought up so by his parents. The onus of proving that the national religion is not a true faith and a Christian Church rests with those who separate from it. Not, indeed, that a Churchman will object to suprly the evidences for his faith and his Church on proper occasions, and when itie pause of truth can be benefitted thereby hut on ordinary occasions H is sufficient for him to say. "I am a Churchman, because I see no reason fur rejecting the national religion." I have called the attention of my readers to this subject in thi place, not only because my respected father never could give his reasons for not but because (ie hicl no sort of notion why lie was a Dissenter, ejtcippt that he Ijad been brought up to attend a Dis- senting meeting house; but } also refer to it because the majority of Dissenters in 1S41 arc wholly ignorant of Church history. They practically dissent from II Church of which theoretically they know nothing; and oppose her hierarchy, her clergy, her discipline, Jicf worship, and the support to which they are en- titled ao the uh-rjy of the national Church, without being able to giVp' any biie,- reasoj) fhr.n that they attend at Mr Giibbius's meeting, or are members at Mr Roberts's chapel,■-From I MV byanEx- Jjiissnltr,

THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. --so (From the Times.) Nottingham, Tuesday, Two o'Clock. We have fought the battle and won the tirtory, li-i%c and our French opponent has taken French leave of the electors. He resigned at two o'clock, when the numbers were, for Walter. 2D 13 Larpcnt 1722 l\hjorit V for "dter ZOG It is a glorious victory, won against all the in- fluence, intimidation, and coercion of the Treasury. On Mr Walter's return to his inn, the immense crowd who accompanied him ill grand and peaceful procession were addressed in appropriate speeches by -itid is Mr Roworlh, Mr Eagle, and several other of his friends. About half-past one o'clock illr Lnrl)ent retired front the. hustings, and as lie proceeded to the. Ex- change Rooms was most vehemently groaned by the mob. 11 so happened, that as soon as the assembled multitude had dispatched the unhappy candidate, Lord Rancliiro (his friend and proposer) entered the town, and on his passage through the streets to the W 11iio Lion Hotel, the Whig quarters, was treated with similar murks ot popular indignation. (From the Slanlard.) Mr Walter has been returned for Nottingham by a majority of 290. At the last contest in the same borough, four years a no, the Conservative candidate was defeated by a majority of 492 — there has there- fore been a change in favour of Conservative prin- j ciple on the part of nearly 8J0 electors. This is ,,r- gratifying; but the mere fact of this change is not all that we find to rejoice at. The House of Cmn- inous has acquired an admirable member, hi every way qualified to protect the interests of the poor there, where their interests sand in most need of protectors. Conservatives and Chartists have been brought into contact, and, as always happens when sincere and well disposed men are brought into con- tact, have been taught to respect and to trust each other, and a great lesson has been read to public men of all parties, teaching them that the kind treatment of the working classes must he their first carp if they would consult their own interests, as the weli being or those classes is the only solid basis of national prosperity and public safety. The working classes of England are not in the con- dition in which they ought to be relatively to the slatioll of the coulltry. England is by far the richest country on the face of the earth, but it is too certain that the working classes of Englishmen do not parti- cipate in this pre-eminence—-they are not the hap- piest labourers in the world, or nearly such. This proves an undue distribution of the profits of labour, which can be corrected only hv resecting the p■rinciple together with the cruel provisions, of the New Poor Law-th:lt principle is to bri,, dowlI thC' peop'e to the lowest scale of living upon which life can be sus- tained. The very reverse would be the policy of a wise legislator fur a country containing so much wealth as England. Such a legislator wou'd try to familiarise the woiking classes not only with com- forts, but with luxuries not only as a means to their moral and social improvement, but also as a means of preventing the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few-tlic greatest evil that can efal any people. As a check to the danger ofthis fatal calamity, nothing can be so effectual as the placing the working classes in a position to extract by peaceful and lejjal means a fair share of the profits of their labour, as the system of I he Poor Law did. The moral improvement of the population is, how- ever, the first of all objects and this is to any impor- tant extent impossible under the New Poor Law. You build churches and establish schools you do well iu this but to what end do you build churches and establish schools, when you pass law which first stigmatises poverty as infamous, and then arrays the population in th • garb of poverty ? Who ever sees a ragged mat; at church ? How inany ragged children have you in your public schools ? Again, you talk of providing public walks for health and recreation, and say, and truly say, that these public walks may bo made the means of mural improvement; but how manvof the squalid victims of New P.mr Law inflicted poverty do you expect to find in them ? If you expect to find any vou will be disappointed. Potting on one side the feeling of discontent so fatal to moral im- provement, the honourable pride of Englishmen, which causes them, when in rags and wretchedness,to elude the notice of their fellow citizc-ns, wiil ever withdraw the very poor from all means of public tuitioti. %Vliert-. are ttic inol)?" isk(.,l tl)e (*zir Alexander, when surrounded by half a million in Hyde [',irk "ill I see livre ,irt,, wt"l int-ii." And so it %lill Ile ill Poverty hides itself alike from observ ation and instruction. We can give met! credit for mistaking the tendency of the New Poor Law, but we cannot allow to any one who is aware of its tendency the credit for wishing to improve the min Is or the happiness of liis fellow creatures; and even they who arc mistaken in the tendency of tin; law are not without blame. Men always go wrong when they think themselves wiser than their !]ible;and tint Bible teaches that the wants of the poor are to be relieved promptly and directly, without looking to consequences or cas;ing about for indirect contrivances. These are considerations which ought never tone ont or the tnindsof public lIlen, but which the result of the Nottingham election will force upon th 'in through their own interests. This election speaks surely as intelligibly tint mind of England as the Clare election of 1828 spoke the mind of the Irish Romanists, and they who bowed to the latter must not be ashamed to bow to tlrn former.

A WEEK WITH HER "JESTY'S STAG HOUNDS IN THE NEW FOREST- er- On Monday week the Royal buckhounds, with Lord Kinuaird, Mr C. Davis, the huntsman, and the whip- pers in, left the Kennel at Ascot, for the Faruborough station, or. the line of tile Sou!i!;Inlptoll per to in Ili(! Nev where they bunted on the two following days, and again on Friday week. The spurt during the three days was Orst r,it(-- indeed, the week in 'he forest," as the wind up" of the season, is always looked forward to for the enjoy- ment of sport in all its perfection. Then there is no catching a deer first, then uncarting it, and afterwards hunting it, with no intention to kill," but to pre serve." In the New Forest there is no parade of this sort to go through, but it is 11 all real hunting, and iu good earnest-" A deer is found, then hunted (there and then), and the hounds have a carte blanche to kill. The meet on Tuesday was at Bolter's "Jetich, near LVlulllUrst. A fine stag (" no chicken, but an old 'on, with a seemingdeteruiiuaiion to cut out plenty of work) was shortly afterwards found at Black Bus! and away 1 it went, followed by hundreds of horsemen, to Stuhlev copse, towards Hazely to Cock road, and after crossing Southdown to Dining Wood and Black down, it dashed by Deer tip to Hipley copse; then doubling back to Matley bog on to Malley moor, it was killed near the old enclosure at Pignal, after a splemlid ruIl of an huur and 20 minutes. On Wednesday a numerous fieri met at Boldre Woocl, at 12 o'clock, when a deer was started at Bushey Beatiey, which aft >rilcd a capital run of upwards of two hours. Alter crossing the Ujngwood I road, on to Milkham Bottom, it mi a ring towards Radley. Then, at a tremendous pace, it went on to I Finniek Wood towards Miles Court, and after again doubling to Brooniey, it was run into at Ocknell Bushes, and killed. There was a Rood field in at the death, amongst whom were Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Sir James Browne, Capt. Seymour, Capt. Parker, the Hon. Mr Knight, several of the officers of the 1st Life Ouards. and about GO others. The third meet, which on Friday week, took place at Stoney Cross, where a fine deer was soon met with, which afforded excellent sport, and was killed alter a good run of upwards of two hours. The hounds have returned to the Kennel in excellent condition, having travelled by the railway to the station at Farnborougli, which is not more than eight or nine miles trem Ascot. The Royal buckhotinds now consist of 63 couples. The pack is intended t<» be kept up to a fullereompte incut than hitherto.and greater caution, iu consequence of this determinat ion, will bo observed in this year's drafting, which will not be to anything like the same extent a last year. Several are now in the straw" with pups, amount- ing in the aggregate lo upwards of 50.

He had read iu the usual channels of information a letter from the noble marquess to a noble earl (the liarl of to the state of tho King's county. It would be affectation in him if he said he did not think the letter -,vas written by the noble marquess; but Irs should not fee! satisfied on tho subject till lie receivtd a confirmation of the fact frotn the noble marquess. In one part of that letter a Roman Catholic "priest" was spoken of as a Roman Catholic rector." As to the opinions held by Roman Catholics with respect to the rank of their clergy, there was nothing strange in their feel- ings but that the Protestant minister of the Protestant .Sovereign of this country should, especially at a time when the Roman Catholic clergy were assuming titles and dignities which they could not legally assume, speak of one of them is 1, rector" of t parish did cer- tainly excite his astonishment. The Marquess of NORMANBY sai l, he had cer- tainly received a b-tter from the Earl of Rosso, to which he had returned such as conceived il merited. As to what the noble marquess asked him. with reference to his used the word ''rector, his own impression was, that he had used the words Roman Catholic priest. However, as the marquess bar! seen the letter more recently than lie had done, it was probable that he was mistaken. Rut, if he had used the words Roman Catholic "rector" he could assure the noble marquess that it was done quite unintentionally. The Ear! of FALMOUTH slated tint lie had pre- sented petitions ;i few days since from various districts in Cornwall upon the subject of the removal of the W"st India packets from Falmouth to Dartmouth, a subject to which he was most anxious to call their lord- sit: I)- t t t(,t: t i!,ti. The petitioners would have rested satisfied if Southampton had been chosen as an expe- riment upon the completion of the railway to London. But nothing of that kind could be alleged in favour of Dartmouth. Falmouth was known by all nautical men lo be possessed of tin: requisites for a naval station in a most extraordinary degree. It was not at the same time a naval port, but a qui<-t place, easy of access, and .admirably adapted for a packet station The. commissioners who reported to the Lords of the Admiralty had slated that the mails would arrive in London sooner bv two hours by way of Dartmouth- Their lordships would hardly believe him when lie assured them that these commissioners made a blun- der of no less than 1(5 miles in their statement of the distance from Falmouth to Exetfr. This hv the fastest coach would take an hour and a half. They also made an erroneous calculation of the distance hv spa. When this error was pointed out to them, thev at once acknowledge! it, and merely repeated that Dartmouth was the best port. He urged inquiry, not as a county measure,but as a measure which he considered of the utmost importance to the commercial interests of the county at large. Viscount MELBOURNE said, that unquestionably deep interest was felt on this subject in the county of Cornwall, although, as the lIohle lord s:,i(l, lie was not actuated by a county feeling in bringing it forward. The noble lord had stated that it was the rpmoval of the packet station that the government had decided on. Now, that was not precisely true. It was in the breast of the company who furnished tlh packets to decide which should be the packet station. Tliev had i%t to L. decided not to take Falmouth. The government had only said which should be the place where the mails were put on board. Therefore, if the noble lord got till he asked, he would not gain the object of changing the station. He could assure the noble b rd that (here was no intention on the part of the government to do injury to the county of Cornwall. The question was what was the best tor the country? The Earl of M IN 10 said tint the qtjestioti iiiert-lv was, at what place the mails should bo taken on board? The choice of the port of departure was en tirplv ill the breast of the company. Lord ASHBURION said that though he thought llldf lordships could nnt interfere with the steps taken by government in this case, and though their adoption of the decision of their commissioners was, in his opinion, perfectly fair, yet lie could not but concur with his nob'e friend, that the decision itself was rather singular. Viscount MELVILLE sai l he was as mticii sur- prised as his noble friend to hear that Dartmouth had been selected, though the government were perfectly right in following the decision of the gentlemen who had been referred to. The Karl of MIN I'O explained. 'I'lic E;,rl of' I,( )U i'l hi-i, qv r(!p'ietl, the attention of the to the fact that the com- pany were of opinion Unt oi:bcr Falmouth or Ply- mouth would answer better as a place of call than Dartmouth. Ordered to be laid on the fable. The Marquess of NORMANBY pnslpolwd tllllil Friday the further consideration of the Drainage of Towns Bi'l, the Buildings' Regulation Bill, and the Borough Improvement Bill, in order that noble lord" might have all opportunity of becomi 'g better ac- quainted with the clauses relating to Scotland. Adjourned to Thursday. "#I###' HOlTSE OF %Y, APRIL 27. The first notice debated in the House was that of Mr FRESHFI ELD, the member lor Falmouth, who moved for a committee on the comparative advan- tages of different ports in the Channel for the depar- ture and ar ival of the West India mails His general scope was to vindicate a preference to Falmouth, as compared with Dartmouth, to which latter port the packets have lately been removed. He was seconded by Sir C. LEMON, and supported* not otl'y by Lord Ingeslrie, Lord Eliot, and o'her gentlemen on his own side of the house, but by several of the usual supporters of Ministers. -Ili- O'CONN ELL suggested one of the western har- bours of Ireland—-Relhaven Valentia. or even Cork. Mr I1LME recommended a commission rather than a Parliamentary committee. #The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Sir JOHN SEALE, the member for Dartmouth, warmly defended the late arrangement. The House, on a div ision, derided for the motion, by anot/ier majority agahist Government. For the motion, 50; against it, 51 majority, 4. 'I he sOLICII OR GENERAL moved for a com- mittee to consider the expediency of a bui'ding iu the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn for the courts of law and equity which now sit in West minster Hall. The convenience of the attornies and solicitors, lie said, was the convenience of the clients. 11' the cour's were now first to be built, no one would think of building them on a site so remote from the seats of business as Westminster Hall. Originally tln re was little incon- venience in that site, because the business was them sinal atiel the pleadings were oral; but at this day the business had become immense, and t! e pleadings being reduced to writing must be prepared by the practitioners in their own chambers. A bill was now in progress for the creation of new courts, which would occasion a necessity for new buildings so that this time was peculiarly fit for the consideration of the subject- At present, while the Courts of Chau- eery were at Westminster, where they always sit during term all the business done out of court by the junior counsel was suspended and their draughts of pleadings, and their attendances at tliri Masters' offices, were lilli, confined to the vacations. Solicitors, in all cnllrts, were taken away from their chambers, to the neglect of their in-door business, or obliged to delegate their court business tott)eirc)erks. The number of common law courts all sitting together at the same time was much increased; trials at Nisi Prius were going on before one of the judges of each court, while the rest were sitting iu bank and West- minster Hall and its suburbs bad become wholly ina- dequate to the accommodation of all these tribunals. Tne inconvenience occasioned by the proposed removal, to barristers attending the House of Lords, would be confined lo very few individuals, and to a small num. j her of days in the years and the barristers attending committees of the House of Commons and of the Privy Council were not numerous, nor was the busi- [ ness there of such a nature as would make it at all an object to practitioners to have facilities for repeat- edly passing from one court to another in the course of the same day. The only argument against the proposed measure was old association, all argument not to be slighted, but yet not to be urged as a coun- terpoise to the great advantages he had before speci- fied. Mr Barry, I he celebrated architect, had fur- a Pill] for a building in Lincoln's Inll, which would afford all the requisite facilities; and tho expense might properly he de'rayed from the suitors' fund of the Ci^n t of Chancery a .d the fee fund of the coull" of common law. Sir E. WILMOF, in ft few words, seconded tho motion. illr IIUIIC approved the proposal, which he re- girded as a triumph of common sense. It was carried unanimously.

Lard llowick was too eood a Whig to allow Lord John to carry off the first prize in the com- petition of shuffling.

M ERTIIVIt TVDV1L, A\N BRECON, May 1, 1S41. The Mister holidays have clearly refreshed the wearied limbs and exhilarated tite flapping spirits of parties iu the metropolis if not t-ise- where, for there has been a stirring week of de- bate nod political incident in Parliament and ot electioneering excitement without, whilst grave events have been passing in other coun'ries with which we are connected, an 1 the intelligence of which has just reached us. TItt olle to whil. en passant we mav allu !e, hut briefly only, is Ihe death of General IIARITISON, so receiiilv inaugurated President of the United Stales. Of course, however, Ili,, ;ill engrossing subjects of attention will be those which affect our borne interests and feelings, and to those, therefore, our observation is preferentially directed. On Monday last, according to notice or agreement before Easter-as the question could be no longer be put off or delayed under any pr(,Iext, Lor(I Nloiipi.rii iiioveil to go into Committee on his Irish Registration and Quali- ficatioti and proposed the adoption of the first clause, upon which Lord IIOWICK moved an amendment, which, after a close and vigorous, but not long debate, was affirmed against all the strength of M inisters by a majority of twenty and one. Upon which Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose in some surprise and agitation, and requested an adjournment of further proceedings on the qnes'ion for one wct;k, to which, however, the Mouse of Commons woulLl 110t accede, but fit,tily ovt,r till Wednesday The P,vcuyed object of Lord JoiiN wl.; the neces- sity of time for further consideration as to ti),, course to be pursued by the Government under such circumstances meaning doubtless the expediency, or not, of resigning office after a ('ef'at so decisive, according to ancient usaoe and constitutional principles. On Wednesday, not to cut the thread of the story. Lord Jotis reappeared in the House, w here a very full atten- dance of iii,.iitl)ers awaited his arrival, but not one of whom, wu will bu bound to say, doubted for an instant wlul the decision would be, or the nature of the communication to b' made. In due season his lordship rose and announced to his attentive auditory, thai on more mature reflection lie and his co-mates had come to the conclusion that the majority which condemned the Ministry on the Monday were perfectly in the right, and Lord OWICK'S amendment, which Lord JOHN himself had then strenuously resisted as vitally destructive of the principle of the hill, the very gi-e,,itest iniprove- ment which could have been DEVILED for extending the Irish franchise, and with it the numbers of the constituency, although at the expense of the destruction of all the first rlausc of Lord MOLTPKTII'S bill, and partly overriding the second. After such astounding confessions of Lord JOBS there was no more to be said; no- body was taken by surprise, however, because not one single mun in or out of the House tvrr suspected for one moment that Ministers would resign their places from any of those con- scientious scruples, and that delicacy of feeling, which on similar occasions would actuate the conduct and govern the resolutions of more able and honourable men. The Whig Ministry therefore remain in the precarious possession of offices which they fill without fulfilling the duties, and they will pueket the honoraries Ps before when quarter day comes round, with as much complacency as if they laboured hard in their vocation ministerial and legislaTive, as if their lives were spent in preparing good laws and executing measures the very best adapted for the interest of the country. The difference between tie clause of Lord MORPETH'S Bill as proposed by the Government and the clause as expunged all but the first word or two, and reorganized by Lord HOWICK, amounted to this. The former proposed a qua- lification founded on rating under the Ne v Poor Law alone, without reference to any amount of property or beneficial interest in the hnldin g to the tenant; so that in fact occupancy alone was the test of qualification. The latter, on tli(t contrary, moved that the tenant should shew a beneficial interest in his laud over and above his rent, and independent of his rating, such beneficial interest constituting a property cri- terion- The difference would seem to be tolerably striking between a right derived from occupancy alone, without property, and a right deriving from property in especial and alnioit exclusively. So thought Lord JOHV on Monday, when he so doggedly resisted all compromise and con- currence with Lord BOWICK' principle and so thought the House too which adopted that prin- ciple. But a new Ii.ht dawned upon Lord JOHN after the Monday, and the difference then thought so vital and insuperable, he found on the Wednesday to be really no difference at all, but, on the reverse, a very serviceable im- provement, which forthwith he proceeded to father and incorporate with his bill. Upon the which, Lord IIOWICK, not to be outdone itt civility, very handsomely volunteered to offer no more obstructions to the bill, and to throw overboard several amendments he had before impressively declared to be of the greatest importauce. In all this there is something ex- cessively droll when one considers that it is dignified as legislation, and the puppets in this Punch and Judy show of Irish Registration, by courtesy caUed legislators. It is impossible to say of Lord JOHN or Lord HOWICK, as POPE of BACON,—" the wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind but cut off the two first superfluous adjectives, and you have their characters to a shade. Lord HOWICK, with his brother in law, Mr C. WOOD, fighting for re-entry into place, and seats in the Cabinet, on refusal of which, as not being con- sidered then of sufficient importance, they threw up their subordinate places before, and Lord JOIlS RUSSELL ignominiously clinging to place in the face of every conceivable humiliation and disaster. There was another great Conservative triumph achieved this week in the return of Mr WALTER, for Nottingham of his return on the grand principle of hatred and opposi- tion to that New Poor Liw of which he taiis ever been the unflinching: and uncompromising foe. That gentleman has long been KUUWN, emphatically, in his own neighbourhood, as the poor man's magistrate," and the 14 poor man's friend." This return is a "heAvy blow AMI great discouragement" to Whiggery, of wlvicl* for 30 years Nottingham has been exclusively the focus and head quarters. Sincc the publication of our last tho see of Worcester has become vacant by the demise of the lamented Dr. Carr, and thus is another occasion presented for the recognition, bv the sworn Ministers and Counsellors of our Gra- cious Sovereign, of the great principle of doing justice to the Established Church in Wales, hv translating one of the Prelates who now urua- merit our episcopal bench to the see of Worces- ter, and elevating a sound Welsh scholar to the bishopric that would thus be vacated. We NVE argued so frequently and so recently that we need not here repeat our arguments o I t e -3si urgent necessity of filling the Welsh sees wi h divines deeply skillel1 in the vernacular lan- guage of the principality, but we cannut umit to strengthen our arguments with the important furt that the lately appointed and highly gifted 3ishop of ST. DA VI u's has, in the most manner, and with the utmost credit to himself, recognised the principle for which we cotiteiict. >y devoting himself, as to a SACKED DUTY," to the study of the Welsh tongue, and WO are told that his lordship has been so successful in his important undertaking, that lie has preached the glad tidings of the Gospel of CHKAST to his people iu a tongue understood by them, AND this to their great spiritual benefit and in- struction. It is said that one fact is worth a thousand arguments, and if so we are here a possession of a fact that no argument can over- turn, and which requires no argument to sup- port it. That his lordship has leurued the language of his flock—an acquisition requiring I h immense labour and no little tali-nl-is a plain and indubitable proof that he considers that he cannot be really useful tu them without knowing their language, and HE has done this not as a pleasure or an amusement, bill, as he himself, at the anniversary of the Abergavenny Cymreig- yddion Society, solemnly declared, as a "sacred duty," and sacred indeed and indispensable mist be the duty of a minister of religion to put himself in possession of the me-ans of com- municating with his flock, or how can he convey to them the divine truths, which he is com- manded to teach and to preach," without doing which it APPEARS to be H hazardous asaer- tion to make that he U does the will of Him who sent him ?'1 Let the Ministers of the Queen, if they are not open to H'd arguments which wa and thousmds besides have addressed to theøa. -let them lay to heart the great fact w bie-h we have set forth, and which is capable of proof in a moment let them rise above petty and per- sonal interests, and by granting TO, THE Welsh nation the boon which they ask, thus esta- blish for th"ir Royal Mistress a fresh claim on lhe affections uf her loyal anil tlevott-d Cambriatt subjects, who yield to aousiothe love which they
