and had foretold them at the same time such would be the result of the change. Even Sir Robert Peel had said that the country was in such a state that it could neither bear the disease nor the remedy for it. After stating that much, it was hardly necessary for him to say that the question was one which required deliberation and inquiry. the House; but as nothing conclusive has b done, we delay noticing them. The House » sits from twelve to three to receive petitive regulation which ought to be beneficial, but members grumble at this double work. HOUSE OF PEERS. He reminded the House of the vast number of petitions which had been sent up in 1822, 1827, and 1829, and of NOTHING has been done in the House of Peen, the little attention which those petitions had received. The nor much said of any public concernment. Lent whole of the distress complained of was intimately connected with the currency question. There would be an King has been at the Church abuses, and the Eari end of agitation, if the petitions of the people received of Roden, backed by the Bishop of Exeter, It proper attention from Ministers and Parliament.

On presenting was said that agitation was a profitable trade— petitions, for the observance of the Sabbath, from London and Westminster, Lord Broughan and He was an agitator, and he would say that he found the calling not profitable in his small way, more than Hampden found it in his large one. It had occasioned him the coolness of friends, the loss of connexions; even the dungeon and the scaffold were placed before his eyes: but he braved all he felt that he was acting justly, and he feared not; he looked only to the restoration of liberty and to the relief of the distress which afflicted his country. He concluded by imploring the House to grant the Com mittee. Mr. Gillon seconded the motion. Inquiry was necessary; for he believed that the House was unacquainted with the overwhelming misery of the lower classes. Was it wonderful that discontent should exist, when, in many instances, a man could earn only 5s. 4d. per week, out of which he had to support himself and family, to educate his children, and to pay his rent? The depression of prices generally might be inferred from a reference to one article, denominated Pullicates. In 1814, the price per yard for weaving Pullicates was 9d.; in 1815, 7d.; in 1816, (when there was a stagnation of trade,) (4d.; in 1818, 1819, and 1820, 54d.; from 1822 to 1825, the average was 4d.; in 1826, 24; in 1827, 34d.; and now, in 1833, what did the House suppose the workman received?-why, 24d.; being little more than one-fourth of what he received in 1814. He trusted that Ministers would not disdain to institute an inquiry into the causes of the present distress. Lord Althorp was far from thinking that the question should not be discussed, although the time selected by Mr. As for Attwood for bringing it forward was inconvenient. inquiry, he was confident that his own opinion on the currency question, on which he had made up his mind, would be confirmed by it. It was very clear that Mr. Attwood's motion was plainly and directly aimed at the currency. It was very easy to say, as Mr. Attwood had said, that the distress of 1833 was caused by the bill of 1814; but admitting that to be true, what remedy was to be proposed in the Committee for those evils? Mr. Attwood had drawn a shocking picture of the state of the working classes: he did not, he could not believe it to be a correct one. He denied that the labouring classes were in greater distress than they had ever been before. He believed that there was more employment, more work, at the present time, and consequently less distress, than at many former periods. He felt that with respect to a certain class considerable distress prevailed-he alluded to the hand-loom weavers. But the reason of that distress was not to be traced to the state of the currency, nor to any thing of that sort, but to the increase of machinery. It was said, that tradesmen had been living on their capital for several years. This assertion disproved itself; for if it were true, trade would soon be annihilated. He thought that the distress which really did exist, would be augmented by granting a Committee. On the division, 192 voted against the motion. For it, 158. The small Ministerial majority of 34 was received with loud cheers by Mr. Attwood's supporters. The Observance of the Sabbath, the Malt Duty, Soap Duties, the Factories Regulution, and Slavery Bills, have occupied, more or less, the attention of "He felt very much disposed to deny that Sadr mat worse kept than in bygone days; for he resly thought that the habits of the people in this respect were apod. and that there was much more religion-not is gion, not outside, showy, false religion—but that the v more real, sincere, and heartfelt religion than format and that this was shown in the better observance of the holy day. All crude and rash legislation shall avoided on the subject. In the Commons, Mr. Roebuck, the member for Bath, lately gave notice of a motion respecting NATIONAL EDUCATION. This appears to have quick. ened the Lord Chancellor, and on the 14th he moved, in That a message be sent to the Commons for copies of certain returns made to that House relative to the educ tion of the people. He stated that he had abandoned his bill of 1820 on two grounds. The returns which he had received from the parochial clergy proved the water inade quacy of the endowed schools to furnish the means of 13tional education: in fact, they only afforded those means to one fifteenth of the population. He also found great nsson to question the policy or advantage of converting veht tary into compulsory sources of education. Such a proceeding might engender feelings of disinclination to furnish the means of education, which were now so generously be stowed. From inquiries made on his own re-ponsibility from the parochial clergy, to whom he had sent between five and six hundred circulars, he found that there were, 1818, 1,300 unendowed schools in 500 parishes, educating 50,000 children; that in 1820, the number instructed wi 105,000; in 1828, it had increased to 1,030,000, the nam ber of schools being 32,000. There were, however, stil 1,500 parishes in England, in which there were no schools Many of these parishes were certainly very small, o'r containing between twenty and thirty families, who cent hardly be expected to maintain a school. He believed t would appear from inquiry, that the people of large tow in the North more especially, were lamentably ignorant To this state of things a remedy should be applied as quickly as possible. It was commonly remarked, that as educatin had increased, crime had also been increasing. The cale dars, it is said, are not lightened. There were many cases which made the calendars larger in appearance than they really were. For his own part, whatever might be asserted on the subject, he should still maintain his opinion, that the bet ter the people were instructed, the less would be the crime of the country. He would mention a fact to prove ba deceived those individuals were who disconnected the moral improvement of the people with a cheerful and ready obedience to the laws. In Spain, where ignorance shadowed the land, out of 5,800 offences against the laws, 3,500-a great deal more than one-half-were con nected with violence. In Pennsylvania, on the contrary, out of 7,400, there were only 640 marked by violence—a proportion of no more than one-twelfth. In the Northern provinces of France, the same proportion, as compared with the Southern, also prevailed. In one of the largest gaols in this country, out of 400 prisoners, there were 200 terly incapable of reading, and 50 more could only tell eir alphabets, without being able to read even the short-t words. He hoped that some plan would be devised for extendg the advantages of education among the people, espeally to the inhabitants of large towns. LORD RODEN has presented several petitions om Ireland against the Ministerial education lan, which he says tends to subvert the rights of he Protestant clergy. "Seventeen Irish bishops ut of twenty-two reprobated the system. In cotland the indignation was general. Dr. Chalers had used strong language concerning it." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE.

There is neither rapid yielding, nor deadly collision. General Jackson had at last been declared President, for a second Henry Clay, of Kentucky, forty-nine; and for Andrew Jack(four years, by a large majority-the numbers being for) son, two hundred and nineteen. Since his re-election to his high office, President Jackson had expressed great uneasiness respecting affairs in the Carolinas. He had ordered all instructions given to the military and naval officers, destined to the southern states, to be printed and circulated. They are worded in the most cautious manner; the armaments are merely to take care that the peace of the country is not disturbed, to watch the movements of parties, (without naming or attending to the composition of such parties,)—to resist any attack,-to defend the fortresses belonging to the government of the United States, and to prevent all illegal acts of the citizens. ENGLAND. Their Majesties are in perfect health. Wonderfully little is said about the court of late. On Friday the Queen held her second drawing-room.

WEST INDIES. EARTHQUAKE Extract of a letter, dated St. Kitts, February 9, 1833:"Last evening we experienced the most severe shock of an earthquake that has ever been known in this island. A ball was given by the House of Assembly to their Speaker; but at ten minutes past eight, the shock commenced, and lasted about 20 seconds, and frightened all the ladies so much that only a few assembled in the ball room, when another shock took place, which, although not so severe as the previous one, created the greatest consternation among the company. No lives, however, were lost; and the damage done to property has not been so much as might have been expected to result from such a dreadful event." The Tories exult in his retirement.` The man who, in 1831, concocted the Reform Bill, and only delayed the Triennial Bill was hatefu to them, and very troublesome to several of his colleagues. Sir Francis Burdett, it is now finally settled, will shortly be elevated to the dignity of a peerage. The family of the worthy baronet is one of the most ancient and honourable in the country, and his landed estates produce a rental of forty thousand pounds per annum. As the papers say, he has wrought hard of late for his honours. Sir Henry Hardinge, having the advantage of being a hearty Tory, and a bosom friend of the "dear Duke," has been appointed to the command of the 97th Regiment, over the heads of fifteen other Major-Generals, many of them men distinguished for their services as soldiers, but unknown as politicians.

The prevailing opinion is, that the next time the question is brought forward, which will be shortly after the Easter recess, that Ministers, if they adhere to their determination, will be left in such a minority as will prevent the possibility of their longer conducting the Government.-Standard. NEWSPAPER TAXES.-Mr. Bulwer is to move on the 3d of April for the Repeal of the Stamp and Advertisement duties, and for a Committee to inquire into the propriety of substituting a cheap postage on newspapers and works under a certain weight. The Bill for despoiling and degrading the Church of England established in Ireland, is to be withdrawn, the Committee appointed to search for precedents having reported against it for informa.. lity. Lord Althorp, therefore, must give it up, and a new bill is to be introduced in the manner appointed for bills by which taxes are imposed. Standard. The Middlesex Grand Jury for Clerkenwell Sessions have found a true bill against Mr. Baring Wall, for an indecent assault on a policeman. Mr. Wall has availed himself of his right of traverse, to have his trial put off to the 25th of April next. By moving his case into the King's Bench, this person has obtained farther delay till June; and after June comes July; and this is justice for the rich. THE CHAMPION OF ENGLAND.-At the last Lin coln Assizes, Mr. Henry Dymoke, the Champion of England, brought an action of trespass on his manor of Scrivelsby, against a farmer named Goe. The defendant had shot a pheasant in the adjoining manor, which fell inside Mr. Dymoke's fence. He stretched his arm over the fence, and picked up the pheasant; and it was for this " trespass" that the action was brought. The Jury returned THE IRISH SECRETARY.-Mr. Stanley has, as the phrase goes, "knocked under," and made a very subdued and becoming profession of kind purposes to Ireland and all men. It is unfort nate, however, that, do what he may, surgit amar aliquid, there is always an offence. He is a Marplot. Thus, in the debate on the Irish Church Reform, he said the chief object of the measure was to enable the parsons to live like gentlemen! Ministers would have it believed a redress of grievance, a measure of redress to the people, but no, blurts out the Secretary, the chief object is to enable the parsons to live like gentlemen. Let them put this in the preamble of the bill.—Examiner, POOR LAWS. The Irish Papers are filled with accounts of meetings to petition against the Coercion Bil But a better object is now in view; a legal pro. vision for the poor. We plead guilty to an onginal strong prejudice against Mr. O'Connell. It may be an ignorant one. It gave way in part e witnessing his noble conduct during the Reform Bill. But he was understood to be the enemy of a poor law for Ireland; and how any man, unless he were of the rapacious lords of the soil, or of the squirearchy, whose only object is to draw as much from their wretched serfs as possible, coul oppose a regulated poor law, except to keep alive misery and its sure attendant, discontent, could not comprehend. O'Connell has now with drawn his opposition to a Poor Law for bis country. He now yields to Dr. Doyle and the Catholic clergy, who are strenuous advocates for this most necessary measure. But not alone the Catholic clergy; for every humane and reflecting Whig, Tory, and Radical, are agreed on this point. The Ministry alone, according to Mr. Stanley. 'are not prepared." Several of his colleagues have, however, qualified his harsh statement.

What can sures for putting down, as far as they can, all secret and illegal associations in their dioceses. This is altogether consistent with the character and conduct of this venerable and influential body. Northern Whig. It is pleasant to read such statements as the following, when we are on the eve of being placed under martial law : "At the Caher petty sessions, on Wednesday, a soldier of the Enniskillen Dragoons was sentenced to pay a fine of L.4, 10s., or in default of payment to imprisonment and hard labour for two months in the county gaol, for an unprovoked and brutal assault on James Boland, clerk of the chapel, on whom he inflicted with his sword a dangerous wound in the head, swearing, at the same time, that he would cut down Papists as if they were scallions.' The soldier, not being able to pay the penalty, was committed forthwith by the magistrates."-Tipperary Free Press. THE ASSIZES.-At the Clare Assizes, Judge Jebb, in charging the Grand Jury, congratulated them on the peaceful state of the country. There were few crimes on the calendar, and, excepting one for illegal administration of oaths, they were all such as must be expected to be occasionally committed in every state and country. One of the horrible murders which disgrace Ireland has just occurred. Mr. Joseph Leonard, a Roman Catholic gentleman of property, was murdered on the 8th instant, near New Ross, in the county of Waterford. He had lately distrained one of his tenants for rent, and was attacked by a party of Whitefeet on his road home from Waterford to Ross. The ruffians stoned him to death, cut off his ears, and then placed the body in his gig, which they left standing in the road. IRISH ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE-At the late Louth Assizes, a man-one of the ascendency party-was tried for murder, convicted of man.. slaughter, and sentenced to three years' imprison. THE CHOLERA.-Cholera has not yet disappeared from Carrick-on-Shannon. Since our last publica. tion there were thirteen cases and two deaths in the jail of that town; and there are upwards of thirty persons in that prison, labouring under pre monitory symptoms. Government have ordered twenty-eight persons, confined in the jail of Car rick-on-Shannon, for offences against the revenue laws, to be discharged. Cholera has again appeared, in the town of Dingle, where five deaths occurred on Thursday. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH MEETING.-One of the most numerous meetings ever held within doors in Edinburgh, took place on the evening of Thursday the 6th, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the Irish Suppression Bill. The meeting was held in the Waterloo Rooms, which, though capable of holding fifteen hundred people, were much crowded. Mr. Aytoun, advocate, was voted into the chair by acclamation; and addressed the meeting in very strong terms against the bill. The resolutions were proposed and seconded by Mr. Tait, bookseller, Mr. Locke, Mr. R. W, Jameson, Writer to the Signet, Mr. F. Dun, Mr. Alexander Moffat of Dalkeith, Major Brown, Mr. Hamilton, banker, and Mr. Prentice. Mr. Dun quoted a passage from the Edinburgh Review of May 1820, in which Mr. Jeffrey strongly reprobated the policy of "coercion, intimidation, and punishment," which had been pursued towards Ireland. The fourth resolution stated that the confidence of the meeting in their representatives was much shaken by their votes on the Address, and on the sinecure question; and therefore that the petition should be transmitted for presentation to Mr. Hume, instead of them. This is the meeting represented by the Scotsman in its newly begotten zeal for everything Minis ters may propose, as an assembly of " ragged apprentices, Irish labourers, and persons despised by all men with decent coats to their backs." SCOTTISH BUSINESS IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. Wallace has given notice of two motions for the 3d of April, on the subject of Law Reform. The first is for improving the forms of process, and lessening expenses in the Court of Session, and in appeals to the House of Peers; the second, for better regulating the forms of process and lessening expenses in the Sheriff and Burgh Courts of Scotland. On the same day, Mr. Murray, the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Abercromby, were ordered to bring in a bill respecting the Leith Docks. On Friday a bill was introduced to relieve the Barons of Exchequer in Scotland from the charge of the public revenue, and to place the assessed taxes and land tax under the management of the Commissioners of Taxes in England. It was brought in by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. F. Baring, and read a first time. THE BURGH REFORM BILL, an abstract of which is now published, has been read twice pro forma, and referred to a Select Committee. It is still in a very crude state, and must undergo much revision. The machinery is complicated and clumsy; there is a wide separation between the electors and the executive, and at every step a fee, and business exacted for legal officials. The qualification to give an inhabitant of Edinburgh, Glasgow, &c., the right of voting for a Town Councillor is as high as for a Member of Parliament a ten-pound franchise. Were this principle carried into the smaller towns, it would be almost as well to allow the Councils to elect themselves, as at present. MR. LOCH'S POLICE BILL for the Scottish towns, is also in progress. COURT OF SESSION.-Among the various rumours regarding this Court, we are surprised not to hear that it is in contemplation to abolish one of the chambers of the Inner-House. Mr. Abercromby's name appeared in the list given as voting against Mr. Hume's motion for abolishing military and naval sinecures; but he did not vote at all on that occasion, as he did not approve of the course taken by either party. He is in favour of remitting the matter to a Commit tee.-Edinburgh Chronicle. all the modifications and dilutions which its rigoar had undergone, 130 members voted against the clause, in opposition to 270. If from that 270 Orange members, and Tories, had been substract. ed, it is calculated that 18 would have been the whole Ministerial majority. Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson of Raith entertained at dinner, on Sunday, at their residence in Portman Square, the Marquis of Chandos, Earl of Rosslyn, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and Mrs. Manners Sutton, Hon. Captain Percy, R.N., Major Beresford, and Mrs. Wauchope. It is pleasant to find that "Whig and Tory all agree” at the convivial board. IRISH COERCION BILL.-A public meeting of the inhabitants of Glasgow, to petition Parliament against the Irish Coercion Bill, was held in that city on Tuesday, the 12th; Professor Mylne in the chair. The large room of the Trades' Hall was crowded in every part with a most respectable auditory, and hundreds went away, unable to gain admission. The meeting unanimously resolved to petition against the bill. Public meetings to petition against the Irish Coercion bill, have also been held at Airdrie and Pathhead, and in many other places. Minority of Scotch members who voted against the Courts-martial clause of the Irish disturbances bill:-Right Hon. J. Abercromby, Capt. J. Dunlop, James Ewing, R. C. Fergusson, W. M. D. Gillon, George Kinloch, Richard A. Oswald, James Oswald, Gen. M. Sharpe, George Sinclair, Robert Wallace. LORD DALMENY.-It gives us much pleasure to learn that the report that his Lordship voted in the minority on Mr Hume's motion regarding sinecures is correct. This ing augury of his future public life. act is highly creditable to his Lordship, and gives a pleas CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. SINCE the period of the Reformation, there has not been half so great a ferment in Britain concerning Ecclesiastical matters as now prevails. We must confine our notices to Scotland. The motion of Mr. George Sinclair, the member for Caithness, against Patronage, was to come on upon the 26th. The result cannot be known in time for this publication; but if the course is followed, indicated by the Lord Advocate, when questioned When the famous tenth or Court-martial clause upon the subject of patronage, it requires no gift was under debate in the Committee, on Tuesday, of prophecy to foretell that in five years, or Ministers were startled by an attack by Mr. Aber much less time, the thing will be at an end in cromby.
