ENGLISH NEWS, BY THE "DAVID SCOTT" (From the SPECTATOR of June 7th) The remodelled, or as it is ironically termed he ' aui nded" Cabinet, assembled their sup porters itn deep divan" in Downing-street, on Monday afternoon. There the Ministers ex plained their plan of operations for the en suing night.; arid there the real, the potent arguments by which it was to be defended, were laid before the trembling expectants of ýý15ýýi"r di au~zný-deeate i trlte Text-elecstianr IL is at the these meetings, from which their const itunt~ts-are -"ýzlutdte#;--that-ý.1tember-s-of Parliament really determine the fate of great questions. What follows in the House of Corn mons is mere acting-the denouement being previously arr nged behind the curtain. Thus it was on Monday afternoon, and still snore in the conclaves which preceded the g. neral muster. Members were made aware, that an adaptidn of Mr. Yard's Resolution would o blige them to concur in some measure wherein !hat principle was etaforced; that such a meta sure would be rejected by the Lords; that a resigasation of the Cataioea, the accession of the 'fories, and (awful cornsum nation I) a premna ture dissolution of Parliament, might then fol low in rapid succession.--No woader. that the majority of the consciencý-,truck Members were terrifies) at this fearful prospect. Dis grace and defeat to be dealt to them on the one hand by the indignant and dutied Refor masers of England, on the other by the active and vindictive Anti-Reformers, arose. palpably in the deeply shaded background ; and, full of eager gratitude, they grasped the hand which the noble Chancellor of the Exchequer(sighing all the while himself, poor man I for his clover fields and Alderney oxen) outstretched to save them. It was resolved then, to negative indi. rectly Mr. WVrtl'a resolution; and Ministrrs were prepared with a decent excuse for the deed. By great exertions, a Royal Commis saon had been got out in the eaurse of ehe mor ning, the professed otbjret of which is to inquire into the doubtful fact (the truth of which the Whligs have t(ects proclaiming in language (lie most- vehement fur a quuster of-a century at at.cJweast), whether the.-.revenutes of the Irisi Church were, after alt, greater than .vas requi site or becoming, under the circumstances in which that Church ia placed t This is the main professed design of the-Commnissiout but its Members are also instructed to fantish art immense mass of other details, relating to the comparative numbers otf.the various sects, their increase or dimrinution, the residCnce, non-rrsidence, income, and efliciency or inelim iacney, of the spiritualspersons-wiho-pocket-the contributions and who- ought to take care of the souls of the population. " Behold, cried Lord Althorp, the far reaching views and ac tive philantropy of siinisters 1 The appoint ment of a Commission was merely an ulterior. part of Mr. Ward's project, but we have stolen uponhian-;-aand-while-he-has-been-de_ claiming upon principles,._we have an imuporItmist and decisive step towards carrying thuso ptiinciples into ef'ct ; what need, then, is there of atlirmaing merely the truth of a pro position upon which we are absolutely acting ?" This was the sum taid substance of the argn rnents urged in the suhsequent in the house in opposition to Mr. Ward's.Resulution, in thie successive speecits of Lord Althorp, Lord John Russell, Mr. Spring--Rise, Ma' Charlea Grant, Lard Palmerston, and Mr. EI lice. To this argument was oppose, the unan swera-lle If you canceale the principhal why not aflirmn it ? Wnt is time reason that you .shrink from recording. your tavowedl opi nions on the jturn'41s of the (louse, thus plu ming your solemn sanction of them beyontd all doubt anal cavil ' 'he Commisision that you of, wauttlal be a piece of waste limper to I morrow were Mr. Stanley and ils Church sinecure-loving Itiends, or Sir Robert ('eel and his Conservative allies, ta ssperreale you? You ntt oniv ask the tou(arse o" '.mmons to er cofidlence in you, but go the unctnseionasle length of demanding that it should rely upon your contiasuance in office-upon thie stability of-an-Administration which fell to pieces a few days ago, and has oaly beets patched up to meet-the present-emnergenc}!--- Asto any in formality or want of logical precision in the Resolution, we are willing toresnodel and alter it in any way, so that is shall still express the grand fundamental principle acknowledged by yourselves to be indisputatale, that the sat-called property of the Church is in point.of fact at ttte disposml of the legislature." Mlinisters tand their Miaajnrity had a rejoinder in pelto, as we have expl.'ined altpe tabut it was om a which -ley could not for shame avow, though thety voted ot tlte strengths of ii-. l'he Tories swelled ithe rtanks of lte triasrplaatit party-; and Load Ala hnrp carrier1 the "previous qatrstiots,' oat a liv isinot, lay 396 to 120.

He appears to unit the bigotry of Laud with no inconsi.lractle portion of the talents of Stnfford. In the days of those worthies, he. would indeed have been a formidable person; he is now, heing-outof the Cabinet, compara htirl harnl'es.. Mr. O'Cusntnl delivered a manly and im. pressive speech. He was acute, srcastic, amusing, aid powerfully argumentative by turns. 12r. 1 ar' stood fast to his gon,. lie evt decided, hntfluh mild in his hearing; and lis gained gulden opihiiuns from his brot her ment tier and the Reformers of Great Britain and Ireland, by the whole of his conduct, on ghat enlust In eve seen, to a person of his habits and connexione, a peculiarly trying occasion. Sir Ruitert Pcel made much ado about no Ising. Tae first part of his speech was full of egotism aid self importance; and we may look in vain for the enunaiation of one valuable principle from the beginning of his harangue to the close. ---All- the-Iinisters distinctly avowed-the-pris.. ciple, that the had a right to dispose of Aiurehproperty--as it is termed. There ws very little variety initeir speeches initsao fat ýhese'may be taken in confirmation of their as sertion, that the Cabinet is now united on thi. point, EBrl Grey and Lord Brougham in the itouase of Peers last night, expressed the saute opinions as their colleagues in the Commons; ehough the language of Lord. Broughimt tvaa by no means so direct and explicit as that of Earl Grey. - Thus we see that the Mllinisters individually are as much pledged to the principle of 1l1r. 1Vard's R'snlutios as if they had actually vo ted for it. But tie Parliamentary sanction is wtantini . Upon referring to the L" egial iv. reeords, alt that uppears tsa hit a questimroln the utmost present importance was suhmnitted to the House of Commons, and that the House by a great majority refused to pronounce judgment. The mode iiia lhich M siisters have dealt with this subject is characteristic of their policy. They never go the direct way to work They never avow their true motives or-ussign the just reasons. Their course is slstlt ng and tortuous, beyondt that of any Minis'ry of recent times. Several aliases have been bestowed upon this Cabinet ; it has been termed the Lansedowne, the Auckland, the Lt/h and P.aster Aehniniszration; but if we mray be allowed to furnish ottr contribution to the catulogue of complimentary appellatives, for the reasons we have givetr, we should call it the "' TRCKY Ministry."'

Indeed it would have been diflicult; for we cannot arrive at any correct statement of the. mnsount of spiritous liquors cotttssmed before the late reduction of deity, as millions of gal lons were illegally distilled and disposed u"f.

T'he Government of Donna Maria h e pro claimed an amnesty for all political offenders, provided they surrender themselves, and return , to their allegianee within a certain time. Sir John Campbell has been permitted to leave his prison on parole. It is not known where l)oni Carlos has fled to; but there is a report that lie has made an irruption into Spain at the head of some troops, in company with a son of Bourinont. The Madrid Canelte of the 24th May con tains a Royal decree for the convocation of the Cortes on the 24th July. The main provision of- the decree is, that an electoral junta is to assemble on the 20th of this tiiouth in each -department;-tsIe-rxtent-of-which-was-fi-xed-ay- - the law of M. Burgos some months ago; then .to_.clhoose. wo electors, ;.who are-to. proceed to the capital town of the province, to choose the stipulated number of Deputies for the Cortes.

Every Deputy must he worth 1201. a-year ; and be a native of the province for which he is elected, or have beets a resident in it for two years. Au amnesty has been proclaimed at last, int favour of all political tffenuletts, without any exception whatever. It is said that the gallant 1 Mina, whose health is now much better, will soon return to his native country. Thus, on the whole, Spanish prospects seem to be brightening. lime French-Government have-issued-the ordinance for, the admission of certain articles of foreigu ma ufacture, hitherto prohibited, which was mentioned as furthcotning last week. PI, account which we then gave, on the authority of the correspgndent of the Times, is quite correct in details. Among the advertisments ini the Morning Heraldon Thursday, a long one in the French languoge attracted our notice ; it was an Ad irees of Lucien Buonaparte to the Electors of France, pointing out to them how little they have gained by the exchange of Charles the Tenth for Louis Philip; and entreating them to return Members to the Chamber who will vote for the recall of the Buonaparie family.; the Members of which, he declares, will join with the patriots attached to the an cient dynasty, the Reputlicans of the Direc tory and the Consulate, the Heroes of the Empire,-imashurt, with the men ofloleLand yýýung Iranee, in endil aivbnilWrlhTrIwtrdre blessings of liberty and good government. All this has it fine sound, but amiounts to very little. The late changes in the British Cabinet have been the principal subject of discussion in the journals and Salons, of Paris during the week. rite continued exclusion of the Tories from ollice, appears to have given general satis faction.--- --- The journeymen dyers of Lyons have entered into a fresh combitation against their masters. The gross ignorance of the working classes threatens the commerce of that city with tatter ruin. It is reported that tote Queen of Belgium is again in a situation which may obviate tie ne essityfor naming a successor totile throne On the other hand, the Brussels correspondent of the Time: asserts, that the French Govern tent has peremptorily interfered to..prevent the nomination of a successor; and that this is the real cause of delay and diflitilty. DEBATES AND PROCEEDIN:S IN PARIA' MENT. (From Cte Spe tutor of 7th June) 1. IlhserCnu n 1 rofax.-The House of Commons was thronged on Monday night by an unusually large attendance of Members. Every seat in the House was taken, and the Members' galleries were al so full. All the passages aind the lobby were crowded some time before. o'clock, when the Speaker took the chair. Every thir.g bore witness to the anxiety with which the Ministerial communications and the subsequent debate were expected. --Lord-Abbsoep be ng&ed upon by the Speaker, said, he roseto move the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate an Mr. Ward a motion respecting the ap proprintion of Irish Church property, which stuiid for that evening. Hle would also - -take-the-opportunity of entering into some explanation of the circumstances which had induced him, on the Tuesd:ty previous to move the adjournment of the debate. As there -were differences in tote Cabinet respecting the mode in which Mr. Ward's motion should be met,-some of the nwem hers coinciding with the principle laid (town in it, and others strongly disappro viing of it-he had gone down to the Ilouse on Tuesday with the intention of moving the previous question. While in the house, lie received the intelligence of the resignrtion of Mr. Stanley, Sir James Grm ham, the-Duke of Richmond, and Lord Ri. pon ; and under these circumstances had thought, that to move the adjournient of the House was the best step he couldtake. The Government being relisved from difli culty by the resignation of those gentle men,. they (the now seceding members) had adopted a course which he would now -explain-to-the-House. -They had advised his- Majesty to issue. a Corn mission, and -that commission was to be a lay commission, having power to visit all the parishes and ecolesiastical divisions in Ireland, for the plir pose of ascertaining in asch if them the number of members of the Establiihed Church, not only in each union, but in each separate pariah in each union; also the number of Ministers of the Estab. lished Church, in each union and parish roppective ly, of whatever rank, and whether resident or not, and the number of-timtes divine service is naudly performed in each, and the nuibaer of persons at tending such services--that is. thesaicrage number; and whether the same be increasing, or diminish ing, or stationary; with similar information res pecting the number of Roman Catholics, Presby terians, and other Dissenters, in eacch parish, with every particular respecting the moral and religious e ucation of the people; the number of schools established ineachi parish', whether they were in creasing, diminishing,. or statiohaty, and the Caine particulars respecting the children attending them; l:kewise, whether in any or all of the parishes there did appear to the ComnnissIonera adequate means for, the purposes of moral and religious in struction for the people. The Commissioners to report not only on-these subjects, but on all other matters relating ti.the utnoral, political, and reim gious condition of the mtembers of the Church, and of those belonging to the variousdAenlntinationst of dissenterst so as.to acquire as complete acorn parativcknowlcdge oLthe_.relition in which those several classes of religionists stood towards each other as cireum'tances permitted. Having in that way.proposed Jo make known the number of Ca tholics and Protestants in each parish and union r-rspectively,Jhe was sure the House would do them the justice to believe that they had not 'given ad' rice to his Majesty to iSiSe such a Cofnmissinj unless they were prepared to follow up that advice by acting upon the report to be made by the Con. missioners in such manner as the exigency of the case might seem to require. He thought that itiquiry ought to pre 'Ctd legiysluaiion m s nd uuuiieiore he ted Mr. Ward to postpone for the present the motion which stood for discussion th:t night. Mr. Ward must see that the in -quiry was sufficiently comprehensive, anid accompanied with a pledge that the results - of that inquiry would be called into full and beneficial activity. Mr. Ward admitted that inquiry was ne cessary before proceeding beyond the de claration of the principle ensbraced-ri his resolution. He admitted also, that the inquiry as proposed would be full and searching; and if it were certain of Lord Allhorp's continuance in offce, there would be some security that the report of thet-_ Commissioners would be acted upon. But there was no security that .bepresen-q nisters would remain in office; and then the report of ttht Commission might be mere waste paper in the hands of their succes sors. ;He wished therefore to stipulate for a Parliamentary sar.ction of the inquiry. It would be lanentable if nothing were gained in point of principle, while so much was lost in point of talent, by the secession of the retiring members of the Cabinet. Upon the whole, nothing had occurred to induce him to swerve from his original intention; of pressing the motion to a division. The order of the day was read. Lord Alt horp then said, that it became his duity ti nddreistheIlouse'on-thigene. ral question. - In the first clause of Mr. 'Vard's resolution he entirely concurred.w-namely, the right of Parlia went to dispose of the surplus revenue of the Church in any manner that wight seem the most just and expedient; but being a consenting party to the advice given to the Crown respecting the is. sue of a Coumtnision, he could not consistently as sirt a principle which went to anticipate what might be the report of that Commission. What. ever might be his own individual opinion as to what that report would contain,-whasever might be proved tlsereby,he still thought, that as a mem ber of the Government he could not call upon the House to pronounce an opinion at that stage of the question, but on the contrary, it would be his duty to recommend them not to come to any decision. He never had swerved from the principle that the Established Church ought to be maintained; but tie thought that the result of the inquiry would be L most ufntwourablehle oitscontinuedtmaintenance, and therefore had-he-uanitedin-reonsnseding-th-at comtmtission. lie was clear in the conviction, that ar. spplic.tion ofsthe surplrs revenues of-the Csutch--" to religious and motal education would tent not only to advance the well understood interests of. the Establishment, lut of Protestantism generally. Mr. Ium esaid, that although be could trustlaLord "Althorp individually, he could not trust the Adminlstration of which he forsn d a part; atid he would state why. 1 There way no neccssitylor a'pp~ohin~inaiiy'hr ceommission.; there 'yes one already in ex" istence (of which Sir Henry Plarnell and Sir J. Newphrt were menibers'4 *hose enquiries were d:rected to the same subject, with the numneri. cal proportion of bturchmen and Catholic Dissenters. Ministers would be its a no worse - -situation-by assentingato the mationthan-they were at present. 1'lhy refuse to sanction a - principle which they admitted to be correct. t Colonel Davies and (olonel Evans wished , to rce the principle of Mr. Ward's resolution sanctioued. by the house, and would therefore vote against the anamendment. Colonel Couolly, in very strong language, expressed his detestation of the original me dion, and of the made in which Mittisters had suet it. He e'slugizes the manly and consistent ± conduct of Mr. Stanley ; which he contrasted y ii'h that of his late colleagues, atho ought to f have opposed the d.strnctive motion before s the House with a direct negasive. ___Lnud Joihn Rus'ell deplored the loos which the (ioverntsent had sustained by the secession 1 of Mr. Stanley and his friends. It was a source -to-his remnaising-colleagues-of-deap_.and-sin. V cere regret. But lie woald ask Mr. flume, t was it' probable that Ministers would hate 1 parted with such colleagues without adopting the principle for the essertlon of which these colleagues had retired from office H He main.

(From the SPECTATOR of June 7th)The remodelled, or as it is ironically termed

Cabinet, assembled their supporters itn deep

in Downing-street, on

Monday afternoon. There the Ministers ex

muster. Members were made aware, that an

adaptidn of Mr. Yard's Resolution would o

blige them to concur in some measure wherein

!hat principle was etaforced; that such a meta

sure would be rejected by the Lords; that a

resigasation of the Cataioea, the accession of the

'fories, and (awful cornsum nation I) a premna

majorityof the consciencý-,truck Members

were terrifies) at this fearful prospect. Disgrace and defeat to be dealt to them on the

one hand by the indignant and dutied Reformasers of England, on the other by the active

and vindictive Anti-Reformers, arose.palpably

in the deeply shaded background; and, full of

eager gratitude, they grasped the hand which

the noble Chancellor of the Exchequer(sighingall the while himself, poor man I for his clover

fields and Alderney oxen) outstretched to save

them. It was resolved then, to negative indi.

rectly Mr. WVrtl'a resolution; and Ministrrswere prepared with a decent excuse for the

deed. By great exertions, a Royal Commissaon had been got out in the eaurse of ehe mor

ning, the professed otbjret of which is to inquireinto the doubtful fact (the truth of which the

This was the sum taid substance of the argn

DEBATES AND PROCEEDIN:S IN PARIA'

MENT.

(From Cte Spe tutor of 7th June)

1. IlhserCnu n 1 rofax.-The House

of Commons was thronged on Mondaynight by an unusually large attendance of

Members. Every seat in the House was

taken, and theMembers'

galleries were al

so full. All the passages aind the lobbywere crowded some time before. o'clock,when the Speaker took the chair. Everythir.g

bore witness to the anxiety with

which the Ministerial communications and

the subsequent debate were expected.

--Lord-Abbsoep be ng&ed upon by the

Speaker, said, he roseto move the order of

the day for resuming the adjourned debate

an Mr. Ward a motion respecting the approprintion of Irish Church property, which

stuiid for that evening. Hle would also

--take-the-opportunity of entering into some

explanation of the circumstances which

had induced him, on the Tuesd:ty previous

to move the adjournment of the debate.

As there -were differences in tote Cabinet

respecting the mode in which Mr. Ward's

motion should be met,-some of the nwem

hers coinciding with the principle laid

(town init,

and others strongly disappro

viing of it-he had gone down to the Ilouse

on Tuesday with the intention of moving

the previous question. While in the

house, lie received the intelligence of the

resignrtion of Mr. Stanley, Sir James Grm

ham, the-Duke of Richmond, and Lord Ri.

pon;

and under these circumstances had

thought, that to move the adjournient of

the House was the best step he couldtake.

The Government being relisved from difli

culty by the resignation of those gentle

men,. they (the now seceding members)had adopted a course which he would now

-explain-to-the-House.

-Theyhad advised his- Majesty to issue. a Corn

mission, and -that commission was to be a lay

commission, having power to visit all the parishes

and ecolesiastical divisions in Ireland, for the plir

pose of ascertainingin asch if them the number of

members of the Establiihed Church, not only in

each union, but in each separate pariah in each

union; also the number of Ministers of the Estab.

lished Church, in each union and parish roppective

ly, of whatever rank, and whether resident or not,

and the number of-timtes divine service is naudlyperformed in each, and the nuibaer of persons at

tending such services--that is. thesaicrage number;

and whether the same be increasing, or diminishing, or stationary; with similar information res

pecting the number of Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, and other Dissenters, in eacch parish, with

everyparticular respecting the moral and religious

e ucation of the people; the number of schools

established ineachi parish', whether they were in

creasing, diminishing,. or statiohaty, and the Caine

particulars respecting the children attending them;l:kewise, whether in any or all of the parishes

there did appear to the ComnnissIonera adequate

means for,the purposes of moral and religious in

struction for the people. The Commissioners to

report not only on-these subjects, but on all other

matters relating ti.the utnoral, political, and reim

of those belonging to the variousdAenlntinationst

the justice to believe that they had not 'given ad'

rice to his Majesty to iSiSe such aCofnmissinj

unless they were prepared to follow up that adviceby acting upon the report to be made by the Con.

missioners in such manner as theexigency of the

case might seem to require.

ted Mr. Ward to postpone for the presentthe motion which stood for discussion th:tnight. Mr. Ward must see that the in

-quiry was sufficiently comprehensive, anidaccompanied with a pledge that the results

-

of that inquiry would be called into fulland beneficial activity.

Mr. Ward admitted thatinquiry was ne

cessary before proceeding beyond the de

claration of the principle ensbraced-ri hisresolution. He admitted also, that theinquiry as proposed would be full and

searching; and if it were certain of LordAllhorp's continuance in offce, there wouldbe some security that the report of thet-_Commissioners would be acted upon. Butthere was no

security that.bepresen-q

nisters would remain in office; and then thereport of ttht Commission might be merewaste paper in the hands of their successors. ;He wished therefore to stipulate fora Parliamentary sar.ction of the inquiry. Itwould be lanentable if nothing were gainedin point of principle, while so much waslost in point of talent, by the secession ofthe retiring members of the Cabinet. Uponthe whole, nothing had occurred to inducehim to swerve from his original intention;of pressing the motion to a division.

The order of the day was read.

Lord Alt horp then said, that it becamehis duity ti nddreistheIlouse'on-thigene.ral question. -

In the first clause of Mr. 'Vard's resolution heentirely concurred.w-namely, the right of Parliawent to dispose of the surplus revenue of theChurch in any manner that wight seem the mostjust and expedient; but being a consenting partyto the advice given to the Crown respecting the is.

sue of a Coumtnision, he could not consistently as

sirt a principle which went to anticipate whatmight be the report of that Commission. What.

ever might be his own individual opinion as towhat that report would contain,-whasever might

be proved tlsereby,he still thought, that as a mem

ber of the Government he could not call upon theHouse to pronounce an opinion at that stage of the

question, but on the contrary, it would be his dutyto recommend them not to come to any decision.He never had swerved from the principle that theEstablished Church ought to be maintained; but
