LITER AT U11 E. -.0- Dr. Jrrooklv "rall to Union" answered. Reprinted from Fraser's Magazine," for January, 1839. Third Edition. 8vo. pp. 24. London: Fraser. We have already expressed our high opinion of this pamphlet, on its tirat appearance in Fraser's Magazine. We shall, therefore, only repeat that it is now reprinted in a very cheap form for dis- tribution; and those who have studied well the fearful heresies put forth in the Romanising Tracts for the Times, can scarcely testify more surely or more opportunely, their deep regret that such heresies should be promulgated by men professing to be members of the Church of England, than by giving a wide circulation to this exce'lent manual of Protestantism. The Cathedral Bell.A Tragedy, in five acts. By Jacob Jones, Barrister at Law; author of "The Anglo-Polish Harp," &c. &c. &c., Svo. pp. 59. London. John Miller. We have read this wonderful tragedy, and are at a loss to conceive why it should be called The Cathedral Bell. Certainly a passage or two, some- where or other in the course of it, occur, where something of the kind is mentioned but we should hardly have thought affording sufficient warraniry for giving a name to the production. True, some of these passages are very grand,—in fact over- powering. They make one's very hand tremble while transcribing them. What is there, neverthe- less we would not do to oblige our readers? Terrible, therefore, as the deed is, it must be done. H Again the bell Unearthly tolled my vision sees the band, I am beside them as they knell, knell, knell- Toll, spirits, toll, my love has passed away, Park spirits, toll, and blessed spirits, pray Me, me, me, miserere Domine I No longer loved, I gnash my teeth, and tell, I once was happy, but I now am mad Had this not been spoken by a female, we should have said the au'hor was probably writing his autobiography; for the Tragedy affords pretty considerable evidence, of the circumstantial sort, that its writer was mad at the time he indited it; though whether he had ever been happy or not does not appear so clearly. Seriously, we have looked in vain for poetry of thought, or poetry of diction in this production and we are left to wonder how any one after writing such stuff, can persuade himself that it was possible for it ever to be endured on the stage ;-for such has evidently been the author's expectation. The Cathedral Bell will assuredly suffer the fate of its predecessors, "The Stepmother," Longinus," &c.it will be rejected by every theatre, the manager of which has any pretentions to judgment. We can only regret the author's perseverance as a Tragedian, seeing that his Anglo-Polish melodies were very creditable Lat him take the hint; and if he will be a poet, stlJk to lyrical composition: per- hfi.s he ti.fcn may prosper.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-WEDNESDAY, FED. 6. Mr Wilshere took the oaths and his seat for Yarmouth. Petitions were presented from various p'aces in favour of a Small Debts' Bill, and tor the repeal of the Corn Laws and the usual sessional orders were voted. Mr WYNN called the attention of the House to the recent acceptance, and the more recent resigna- tion of office by Mr D. \V. Harvey. Lord J. RUSSELL promised to lay the papers connected with the subject on the table, and to fur- nish an the information in his power. Mr E. Btiller, accompanied by Mr G. Wood, then brought up the report on the Address in answer to the Queen's Speech. On the motion that it be adopted, Mr HUME inquired whether it was the intention of Ministers to produce copies of the correspon- dence which had taken placeon the Belgic question. Lord PALMERSTON stated that they would be laid on the table as soon as possible, and that the House by adopting the Address, was only pledged to a general approbation of the treaty. Mr O'CONNELL again attacked the Government on this question. The five Powers should take care, lest by the course they were pursuing they might provoke, instead of avoiding a war. Injustice was spreading along the banks of the Rhine. The conduct of 'he King of Prussia to his Catholic sub- jects was most atrocious, and in violation of express stipulations- (Derisive cheers.) Then, fitting the cap on himself, he adverted to the remarks made on Lord No' bury's murder by Lord Brougham in the House of Lords, on the preceding evening, and opened the flood-gates of his wrath upon him He understood that in another place some censure had been cast on him for insinuating, as it was alleged, that the present Lord Norbury had perpetrated the murder-a thought which had never crossed his mind. For this supposed offence, he found that a judicial sentence had been passed on him by some grave person, who had seen the accusation on one side, but had not taken the trouble to look for the answer on the other. If such a person had dis- pensed justice on the bench, he must be one who ludicrously combined the character of a Court jester with that of a Judge; and who had been deprived of power, not by the entrance of an adverse party into office, but on account of his own unfttne?-s, so that his own friends could not allow him to remain in place. He had actually lost office because he was an incumbrance, and it was found necessary to give his appointment to another, and to a certainly much better qualitied individual. He was a judge of such a kind, that he was the ridicule of the bar and the terror of the clients mistook rapidity for the due administration of justice, and made decrees, not as examples to be imitated, but as landmarks to be avoided by all future Chancellors. The SPEAKER rose to order. The Hon. Gentle- man was undoubtedl-y entitled to make a statement of facts, but he (the Speaker) needed not to state that great inconvenience must result from carrying on a war between this and the other House in disguise, but which was in reality very well under- derstood. (Hear, hear.) Mr O'CONNELL said that all he regretted was that the Right Hon. Gentleman in the chair had not the pover to prevent the attack. (Hear, hear.) Attacks had.beeumade there not on an humble in- dividual alone, but upon high persons, without the possibility of their reply. He thought he had de- monstrated the fafsity and malignity of the attack he had complained of. No situation in the country was high enough to be secure from such hostility. Even maiden modesty on the Throne could not escape the obscure slander of a wretch who dared to insult Majesty by insinuations too gross to be repeated. (Order, order.) "e might have been the sycophant of one Monarch and (lie slanderer of another. lie might call himself the friend of the people; he would be the enemy of the Throne. Hut he (Mr O'Connell) did not envy him the noto- riety which he had gained. Mr SHAW wished to set the House and the Hon. and Learned Gentleman right with respect to the print of the boot alleged to have been worn by the assassin of Lord Norbury. The fact was that when the spot was examined, immediately after the murder was committed, no such print appeared; but the spot was visited by several persons shortly afterwards, and among them was a boy, a son of Lord Norbury, who was now at Eton. He held a paper in his hand, in order to draw a correct plan of the spot where the murder "as cotiiiiiitted and of course, after he left the place, the print of his boot remained. Mr O'CON'NELL had not heard of this, but the explanation was satisfactory. Mr SHAW asked whether Ministers intended to bring forward any measure for the benefit of Ire- land, and Col. PERCEVAL animadverted on the omission in the Speech of any measure to improve the social and moral state of Ireland. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that such reference was unusual except when it was intended to ground some Ministerial measure upon it, and he had no such measure to propose. In answer to a question from Sir R. Peel concern- ing India, Sir J. HOBHOUSE stated that it was his inten- tion to lay the papers t elating to the subject on the table. Sir R. PEEL desired to know what course Min- isters meant to pursue in respect of Canada. Papers had been promised, and when printed, did Government mean to submit to the House the question of a future Constitution for the Canadas ? Lord J. RUSSELL answered, that there would be two sets of papers, one reciting public events to. a recent period, the other a document furnished by Lord Durham. The latter, which was of great length, had been received only three days ago, and there had not yet been time for Ministers to give it the consideration which was necessary for deter- mining the course of the Government. Col.SlBTHORP should feel it his duty to call the attention of the House, and of her Majesty's Government, to the expenses of the recent envoy to Canada. He should bring forward the subject on Tuesday, and take the sense of the House upon it. Mr HUME asked whether further executions were to take place in Canada? Lord J. RUSSELL said he was now in possession of the official accounts from Lower Canada. ("Upper Canada," from Mr Hume.) The papers would relate to both. He must say he believed that the Government ol neither Upper nor Lower Canada had carried those executions to a greater extent than they had found it to be absolutely- necessary. The report was then agreed to, and the House adjourned at half-past seven. .## HOUSE OF LORDS—THURSDAY, FE a. 7. TheirLordships met at oneo'clock, and proceeded to Buckingham Palace with the address. There were laid on the table the Convention of Commerce and Navigation between her Majesty and the Emperor of Austria, signed at Vienna, J Illy 3, 1838, and the Convention of Commerce and Navi- gation between her Majesty and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, with three additional articles thereunto annexed, signed at Balta Liman, near Constantinople, August 16, 1838. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY, FE" 7. The House met at half past one, for the purpose of going up with the Address. The members in attendance were comparatively few. At two o'clock the cortege moved off from the House. It consisted of the Speaker's state coach, followed by five or six private carriages; to these succeeded four dingy hackney coaches, the rear being brought up by two very shabby looking hack cabs. The cortege was flanked by several of the officers of the House, on foot, whose smart and spruce appearance, though somewhat deranjrd by their being obliged to pick their steps through the mud, afforded, nevertheless, a striking contrast to the deshabille of several of the Hon. Members in the coaches. The whole turn out," as it passed np Parliament Street, showed anything but an improvement in the ap- pearance of the reformed" Hon. House. At a quarter to four o'clock the House again met. The SPEAKER, on taking the chair, saii-l' I have to acquaint the House, that this house has this day gone up with an Address to her Majesty in answer to her Majesty's Speech from the throne, to which her Majesty was pleased to give the follow- ing most gracious answer — I thank you for your loyal and dutiful Address. I receive with satisfaction the assurances of your support in maintaining the authority of my Crown overmy Canadian provinces. I rely with confidence on your zealous assistance in upholding the ob- servance of the laws and on your careful considera- tion of the weighty matters on which you are engaged. The following notices of motion were given:- General Johnson, on the subject of the Poor Laws Mr G. W. Wood, for a return of the price of wheat in each week of the last and the four preceding years Mr Hutt, on the subject of the injury sus- tained by British commerce by the French blockade of the Mexican ports; Mr Gillon, for returns connected with the soap trade, for a Bill to regulate the gale of excisable liquors in Scotland, and for a Bill to reduce the taxes on internal communication Captain Boldero, to submit, on the second reading of the Mutiny Bill, clause relative to corporal punishment and prison discipline in the army. The sole discussion of the evening turned on the practice of making speeches on presenting petitions." The SPEAKER took the occasion of Mr Ward's speaking to a petition, to address the House on the subject. He observed that though there was no rule recorded, yet that the practice of the House, which was against speaking, had been allowed to be virtually the rule. Many Members took part in this discussion, which was enlivened by another Hibernicism of Mr Hume's. In fact a bull will now be called a Joe. Sir R. Inglis had shown the House the immense time which must be sacrificed in reading petition., for if each petition was to be debated each must be read. No, replied Mr Hume, look at my calculating ma- chine for getting over that diiffculty on a great subject there will be 300 petitions as like to one another as a pea to a pea, so read one you read all. On which Sir R. Peel slily observed, that he was not aware by what process it could be known that 3)0 petitions were alike-unless they were read and compared The want of a specific motion being, after a long discussion, very generally felt, Lord J. RUSSELL proposed that the House should resolve the rule to be that which the Speaker had stated. His Radical neighbours cried out to him to give notice of this motion for to morrow, but he seemed bent on disposing of it at once, till Lord STANLEY suggested that the better course would be to have the Speaker's opinion put formally upon the journals, and then to move on the follow- ing day that theopinion so standing on the journals be adopted as the rule of the House. Lord JOHN assented, and the House adjourned at a quarter to 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY, JA\.8. The business of the House was opened by the Lord Chancellor reading the Queen's answer to their Lordships' Address in reply to the Royal Speech, which was as follows :— 11 Ily Lords, I thank your Lordships for your loyal and dutiful Address. Relying entirely on your wisdom aud patriotism, I can hdve no greater satisfaction than finding myself supported by your agreement and concurrence." The most striking occurrence which took place in the course of the sitting was the announcement by Lord Glenelg of his having thst morning tendered his resignation to Her Majesty, who had been graciously pleaded to accept it. His Lordship ex- plained his resolution to have been adopted in consequence of a communication made to him hv the Cabinet on Tuesday, with respect to a new dis- t ribution of office. To the proposed arrangement he could not accede, and therefore resigned. The statement caused a considerable sensation in the House, and is evidently "the beginning of the ei,d." On the presentation of a petition by Lord Brougham, on the subject of the Corn Laws, Tht Earl of RIPON stated that, notwithstanding a recent assertion by a Noble Viscount, neither the Government of Lord Grey, nor that at the head of which he (Lord Ripon) had been placed, had ever considered the question of the Corn Laws as what is techuically called an open question. His Lordship emphatically denied the assertion. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill to repeal such parts of the Beer Bills of 1832, 33, and 34, as allowed of beer being sold and drunk on the premises; but he would not pledge himself to go on with the Bill except the subject should be unnoticed iu the other Honse. The Earl of DURHAM then inquired how soon his report on Canadian affairs would he laid before the House? His Lordship took the opportunity of stating, that not only had he received no salary, but that he had been a loser by the appointment of no less a sum than £ 10,000. Lord MELBOURNE also expressed his surpiise and regret at the publication of a part of the Noble Earl's report; but as it had been made, no time ought to be lost in laying it before Parliament. He gave notice, therefore, that he would Iny it upon the table on Monday next. In answer to an observation from the Earl of Wicklow, The Earl of DURHAM declared that he was not in any way cognisant of the publication of the report. A short, but somewhat sharp, conversation followed between the Marquess of Londonderry and the Earl of Durham, in which the former intimated his intention of founding certain questions on the report. Th Earl of RODEN gave notice that he would not bring oil his promised motion on the state of Ireland till after the presentation of a petition, which he understood was in progress of signature by the Magistrates of the King's county. This would give time for -he Lord-Lieutenant to be present in his plnc" in Parliament The Ma rquess of LONDON DERRY subsequently I grtve notice that on Thursday next he wou'd ask a question of the Noble Viscount at the head of the Government, as to a miiitary festival that had been ,iveti-N,vhc re or by whom the Noble Marquess did not say. After a long conversation, the Noble Marquess was induced to say that he alluded to a banquet, at which a m )st distinguished officer, Sir James Mae- donnell, commanding the brigade of Guards in Canada, had been present. Still (he Noble Marquess nould not be prevailed on to state the locus in quo. The notice, however, remained good. The Earl of RODEN moved for copies of all correspondence that had taken place since November last, between the Rev. Edward Nangle and the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Their Lprdships then adjourned till Monday. "#O#I..ø.##. HOUSE OF COMMONS-FRIDAY, JAN. 8. Among the private petitions presented was one by Mr Gladstone, from the London and Birmingham Railway Company, praying for leare to bring- in a Bill to enable them to raise a further sum of money. Three petitions were presented in favour of the Corn Laws, and two against them. A peti- lion was also presented by Mr Serjeant Jackson ugaiust the so ca'led National System of Education in Ireland Mr LEADER expressed his surprise at the ap- pcarancc of Lord Durham's report in the Times newspaper, before it had been presented to the House. Lord J. RUSSELL was equally astonished, as the report had only been submitted to Her Majesty on Monday last. T ne papers would be laid before the House on Monday. The Noble Lord subsequently said, in answer to Mr T. Duncombe, that it was the intention ofGovern- ment to bring in a Bill to amend the Poor Law Act. His Lordship, however, added, that he could not say at what time such a Bill would be introduced. Mr CHRISTOPHER gave notice that when Mr Villers should bring aLl his motion on the subject of the Corn Laws, he moved that the House be called over. Lorn J. RUSSELL, after some former resolutions of the House on the subject of petitions had been read at the suggestion of the Speaker, moved that the House do adhere to the existing practice. After a short and uninteresting debate, the House divided— For the motion of Lord J. Rnssell, ls3; against it, 43; majority, 140. The House went into Committee of Supply pro forvid. MrO'CONNELL asked if Ministers intended to I propose any measure on the subject of the Bank of Ireland ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re- plied in the affirmative. Several Bilrs were then brought in. One by the Attorney General for the better registration of electors one by Mr Hawes to substitute an affirma- tion for an oath in cases where persons might allege a conscientious scruple against taking oaths; one by Mr Barneby to amend the laws relating to high- ways in Englaud and Wales; by Lord J. Russell, to provide for the safe custody of registries of deaths and burials; aud Mr Gillon moved for certain re- turns relating to the soap duties. The House then adjourned, at six o'clock, till Monday. .#> HOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAY, FEB. 11. The Bishop of LONDON moved for a copy of all memorials presented to the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of the transmission of letters on Sun- days also for a copy of the despatch of the Court of Directors of the East India Company of the 8th of August, relative to the attendance of British func- tionaries at idolatrous worship in India. Lord RIPON observed, that it appeared by the 6th article of the treaty with Turkey, that the same commercial regulations were to be acted on through- out the Turkish empire, in Turkey iu Europe, Tur- key in Asia, and Egypt. He wished to know from Lord Melbourne whether the Government had any understanding with the Pasha of Egypt with regard to carrying that portion of the treaty into effect. Lord MELBOURNE replied, that the Pasha of Egypt had signified to the British resident his in- tention to act in conformity with the stipulations of the treaty. Lord LYNDHURST inquired of Lord Melbourne why the account of borough funds, which, by the Municipal Corporations Act, ought to be made up twice a-year, aud laid on the (able by the Home Secretary, had not been produced. Four years had ) now passed flitliout the production of the accounts. Lord MELBOURNE i-eplied-III really had forgotten them." Lord BROUGHAM postponed, from Friday till Monday next, his notice- or motion on the subject of the Corn Laws. His Lordship took that opportu- nity of again denying that he had been guilty of any breach of privilege in his attack on Mr O'Connelt, which was founded upon speeches of Mr O'Connell delivere in Ireland, and not upon anything Mr O'Connell had aid in Parliament. Lord MINTO laid on the table returns connected with the navy, and Lord Duncannon copies of the proceedings at the recent police investigation at Mollingar. On the motion of Lord HARDWICKE, his Lord- ship's notice of motion relative to the navy, which stood for this day, was discharged. In answer to a question from Lord Minto, his Lordship stated that he would not bind himself to any particular day for bringing on the motion. Lord MELBOURNE laid on the table Lord Dur- ham's report oil the Canadus. That publication of it in the Times newspaper gave rise to a conversation. Lord MELBOURNE, ill answer to a question from Lord W harncliffe, said that he could afford no explanation respecting the means by which this document had renehed that journal. Lord DURHAM denied that he had been in any way accessory to the publication, but he admitted that he had given half-a-dozen copies to confidential friends. Lord VVHARNCLIFFE expressing his surprise at this, Lord DURHAM said, I had leave from one of her Majesty's Ministers to distribute a few copies among my friends." Lord MELBOURNE said he was totally ignorant 11 of any such permission having been given but Lord Melbourne did not contradict Lord Durham's statement, "that h" was informed by a communica- tion from the Colonial Office, that the report was intended to he laid upon the table of both Houses on the meeting of Pavlinment, and for that purpose upwards of two thou.rand copies were printed." Lord LONDONDERRY withdrew the motion of which he had given notice relative to proceedings at the military feMital given on theoccaion of Lord Durham's departure from Quebec. The House adjourned at 6 o'clock. '1> HOUSE OF Coll IJONS-,NIONDAY, FEB. 11. After the presentation of petitions, the following notices of motion were (!iven :-Lord Duugannon, for inquiring into the state of the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth Mr P. Thompson, for a com- mittee on private business Mr Blewitt, respecting the business and practice of the Court of Chancery. Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table Lord Dur- ham's report on the Canadas, and stated that the course the Government intended to pursue was to introduce a measure respecting Canada before Easter, and to take the second reading of it imme- diately after the recess. Lord J. RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in Bills for the better ordering of prisons, and for making ftlterations in the jurisdiction of County Courts and Petty Sessions. On the motion of Mr V. SMITH the Committee of last session on Church Leases was reappointed. Mr G. W. WOOD'S motion for returns of the price of corn for the last four years was agreed to after some discussion. Mr F. MAULK obtained leave to bring in a Bill for further improving the police in and near the metropolis. The Hon. Gentleman also presented papers relating to the appointment and resignation of Mr D. W. Harvev. Lord PALMERSTON Inid on the table papers relative to the treaty of commerce between this country and Austria. Lord MORPETH stated, in answer to a question from Mr Lefroy, that he hoped shortly to be able to commuuicate to the House the course which Go- ment intends to pursue with regard to railway com- munication in Ireland. The House adjourned soon after 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY, FEB. 12. The business was confined to convei sation relative to the treaty with Austria, to the impropriety of a member of the House of Commons filling the office of judge of the Court of Admiralty, and to the state of naval education.—The House adjourned till Thursday, #'#1'1' HOUSE OF Collill()NS-TvEsDAY, FFlg- 12. Dr t.UStilNGTON took the oaths and his seat for the Tower Hamlets. Lord J. RUSSELL gave a general outline of the views of her Majesty's Government respecting education He was one that still thought that there was a lamentable want of education in the countrj, particularly amongst the poorer classcr.. There are many persons who do riot r;-cvive the slightest elemeDtary education, and defective as education at present is in quantity, it is ;till OlOre defective in its quality. It was impossible, his Lordship continued, that in this country we could either imitate foreign governments who made it imperative that all should be educated, or the United States of America. Re- ferriog to the Church piau ialp|y put forward at public meelii,, g., which iin plied that the whole of the education of the country must and ought to be con- fided to the hands of the clergy of the Established Church, and that no system of education ought to receive any countenance which should not be con- ducted under the cleigy)atl(j -)n accor(]ance wilh the doctrines and tenets of the Established Church, it did appear to him that the propounding such a plan at the present time, so late in the Iii,tor) of the country, was opposing a veI7 scHous obstacle ill the way of the general education of the people. It wag a general and recognised doctrine of the State since the Revo- lution, and more particu]^r|j since the accessiou of the House of Hanover, that education was free not only to the Chnrch, but to every religious denomi- nation; and this principle was carried still further by the acts of 1828 and 1829, granting relief to Protestant Disinters and to Roman Catholics. He thought the best ^ay of proceeding would be to endeavour to establish some body, by which any exertions to be made in favour of education might be deliberately considered and systematically ar- ranged, composed of persons who being already the official servants of the Crown, mu.t always be responsible to Parliament for their conduct. He, therefore, proposed that the President of the Council should be at the head of a Board of Privy Councillors, not beiog more than five, who should consider in what manner the grants of money should from time to time be distributed. He wished the grant to be 9,110,000 rather than £ 20,000 per annum. The money at the dilliposal of the Boal d would first be applied to the formation of a normal school, and to make that normal school as perfect as possible, the objects of that education ought, in the first place, to be re- ligious education; next, moral training; then, habits of industry; and lastly, such knowledge as fitted for a trade or profession and be was of opinion that the instruction hitherto given in school* proceeded on a very false assumption when it made reading and writing, with some of the elements of religion, to form education. The Noble Lord thought there was a good deal of force in the late Mr Cobbett's objections to popular education, of which he was a decided opponent, that it did not enable a man to discharge better the duties of his situation, and to gain his bread. Sir R. INGLIS thought that in Lord John's scheme there was less mischief than might have been ex- pected, considering the opinions of those with whom he acted. Mr WYSE communicated to the House the result of his recent observations made in various parts of the continent; and, judging from what he had witnessed, he thought he was justified in concluding that there was nothing, either in the Protestant or Roman Caiholio religion, which should prevent the adherents of both from receiving the elements of education together. The principal result that would bederived from the proposed measure would be the establishment of a regularly organized Board of Education, without which it was impossible that any system of national education could be properly conducted. Mr GLADSTONE thought it not impossible that schools might spring up under the plan in which no form of religion might be taught. Several Members put questions on the subject of the plan; after which Sir R. PEEL said he wished the House 10 know distinctly the principles on which the Board of Education should be guided? The proper time, however, was when the proposal for the grallt of money was made. Sir Robert, too, suspected there was more in the plan than transpired in the state- ment of the Noble Lord, from the readiness with which it received the assent of certain Hon. Gentle- men. He claimed only for the Church the same liberty of education which he conceded to others The Rt. Hon. Bart, concluded with ùcclaring-" I, for one, am deep'y convinced of the absolute necess- ity, and of the moral obligation, of providing for the education of the people (cheers.) But I am, at the same time, perfectly convinced that that can only be effectually done in this country, where so much religious dissent prevails; and that it is in- finitely more likely tobe done without disturbing the good understanding, and the existing harmony between the professors of different faiths, by leaving | it to the voluntary exertions of the parties themselves (cheers), and by permitting each to educate his children, as he at present is at liberty to do, in tiiose principles of faitt, ii which they were born (great cheering.) I cannot help e.vpt cssing my confident belief that the Church of England is now awakened (cheers from both sides of the house) to the absolute flecessity-not by force, not by coinpiil,,ioti, ii,,t bv interfering in the slightest degree with t'ie principles of perfect religious freedom (ciieers)—but awakened to the absolute necessity of assuming that position which she ought to assume, it, cotiglatit and cordial co-operation with the landed proprietors and others of this country (cheers); and that the only satis- factory way of having a system of education which ought to be founded upon the basis of relig-ion-in this country is, for each party to act for themselves —imposing no restriction upon others—but, above all, that the memhers of the e,.tablishmenf, whether lay or clerical, shall not be ashamed of insisting that, in thrir education, the doctrines and principles of the taith which they profess shall bo an indispensa- ble condition to any voluntary system of education introduced among them" (great cheering.) On the motion of Sir M. WOOD, the committee of last session on improvements in the metropolis was re-appointed. Mr WALLACE moved for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the mode of administer- ing justice in Scotland. After a short discussion, Mr Wallace withdrew his motion, and he pursued the same course with regard to another motion. Mr Se rjeant TALFOURD obtained leave to bring in a bill (similar to that of last session) to amend the law of copyright. Sir E. SUGDEN obtained leave to bring in a bill for the improvement of prisons and prison disci- pline in Scotland. On the motion of Mr HUME, returns were or- dered of the amount of capital on which legacy duty had been paid for 1836, 1837, and 1838. Mr Serjeant JACKSON withdrew for the present his notice of motion for leave to bring in a bill to amend the Irish Poor Law Act passed last session. Mr BROTHERTON brought forward his annual motion against entering upon debateable business after midnight. It was, as usual, negatived. The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in the followin, Bills-viz., a Bill for Itegulating the Sequestration of the Estates of Bankrupts in Scotland; a Bill to Amend the Law of Scotland in matters relating to Bankruptcy a Bill to facilitate the preparation of Writs in Scotland; a Bill to facilitate the constitution, transmission, and ex- tinction of Heritable Securities for Debts in Scot- land; a Rill to provide for the Registration of Leases of long duration in Scotland, and to facilitate the constitution, transmission, and extinction of Securities for Debt therein; and a Bill to regulate and improve the passing of Crown Charters in Scotland. On the motion of Lord^DUNGANNON, a return was ordered of the number of houses licensed for the sale of beer between the 1st day of January and the 31st day of December, 1838, in England and Wales; specifying the number in which it may be consumed on the premises, and the num- ber in which the sale only is permitted. On the motion of Mr R. STEUAItT, anew writ was ordered for the election of a member for the county of Leitrim, in the room of Lord Clements deceased. On the motion of the same Hon. Gentleman, a writ was ordered for the election of a member for the borough of Carlow, in the room of Mr W. U. Matne,who has accepted the oftice of one of the Barons of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer. The House adjourned at half past 12 o'clock.
