The presentation of Petitions ocaqned the House ^ Se ^ ot of' ^ TEfiinqTrired . if it ^ the ^ -intention of goventtaent to persevere in the measure --they had § £ ven notice of relating to chorea lease * aad other ecclesiastical property ? Viscount MELBOURNE saidit was intended to a > ersevere with that bfll as early as ~ posrible . The Earl of RIPON moved for a return of the ' -sspenses occasioned by a commission being sent out to Malta , in the year 1837 . Tie TJnke of WELLINGTON denonnced the <» inmissionas absurd and useless .

      , After some remarks from Lord GLENELG and sLori MELBOURNE the motion was agreed to . The Consolidated Fond Bill ¦ was brought up from the Commons , and read a first time ; and their . Lordships adjourned . . ¦

      Friday , May 4 . Lord LORTON called the . attention of their ^ Lorfibipsto jsomeletters which had lately appeared , * ymed John , Archbishop of Tuam , contrary to the -Catholic Relief Bill . He begged to know-whether 4 he government intended to institute any proceedings for the vindication of the law ? ^ Viscount AsELBOURNE said , for various reasons , ¦ which-he would not then particularise , but in which

      he perfectly agreed , the government in Ireland did not intend that any prosecution should be entered into against the individual alluded to , for tue purpose of recovering the penalties imposed by the act af Parliament quoted by the Noble Earl . Lord WICKLOW said be considered the answer of -lie Government most discreditable . ( Loud oppo-: s £ ioik cheering . ) The Ministers of the Crown -seemed afraid to execute the law ; nay , they afforded ¦ their sanction to the breaches of the law . ( Hear . )

      The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said be was of -opinion the answer of bis Noble Friend at the head of the Administntioii was the best possible which < could have been given . If the qua-tion as to the interference of the Irish Government was to be called into question , let it be done by a distinct motion or notice . ( Hear . ) Nothing wonld so much gratify "Dr . M'Hale as being proceeded against ton . cover penalties—it would be also ef great pecuniary -adv-ntace to that individual . The Earl of WINCHJiLSEA severely reprobated -Government for not having taken any notice of the lettersin question .

      Lord-MELBOURNE again repeated tliat hei ?> Iajesty ' s Government did not think it would be pru « ient . undt-r the circumstances of the ca . se , to have instituted a prosecution . Their Lordships then adjourned .

Bill , were severally read a . third tune and passed . A number of petitions on various' snbjects were pies # nted . Committees were appointed on the Bedford and TVsiterfori Election Petitions . - . Ts ; e ATTORNEY GENERA L moved the farther eonsi-ieration of the report of the committee on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bill ; A long discussion ensued , alter which the report ¦ arts agreed to , and the bill ordered to be read a secona rime .

      Mr . PRYME gave notice that , on the 15 th of May . he should move for leave to Lring in a bill to regulate the Louses of licensed victuallers and coffee-« Liap keepers in the metropolis . Sir George Clerk took the oaths and his seat for Stamford . VLord JOHN RUSSELL said "he did not wish it to be uniersrood from wliat tookT place the other evening respecting the Yeomanry Corps , that it was she intention of Government to abolish the whole of those corps . That was not the intention , the only intention -was to reduce that force " . -Sir R- PEEL thought that the explanation of tie Soble Lord would not be at all satisfactory .

      Lord J- RUSSELL then rose and inared for the appointment of a select committee it > inquire into xie mode of granting and renewing leases of the landed and other property of the Bishops , Deans , aid Chapters , and Eccelsia . -tical bodies of England . and Wales , and into tk- probable amount o ) any increased valne which miaul be obtained by an improvei management , situ a due consideration of the interests of the Established . Church and of the present lessees of sacli property . Mr . LLDDELL opposed the motion ^ and moved joi auieuime . it to it , by adding a proviso thnlthe rnrplas . if-anv , should be applied towards increasing the means of religious instrucrion , according to the cocaines of ths Church of England . Two divisions took place , the first -was on Lord -JoVr * Russell ' s motion ior the appointment of a committee . On Oiis the Members

      Friday , May 4 . ji rreat number of petitions on various subjects were presented . Lord ASHLEY asked whether the second reading of ihe Factories' Bill woulii take place _ on Mon-UaV nest ? Lord J . Russell , replied that it " was not provable that the bill would be read a . second time so early as Monday next ; but he would take that -.- ¦ Trpormnity of stating ' that it was proposed to preserve tue clauses as they stood in the present bill with respect to education . . Mr . HL ME said , before the House went into Committee on this ( the Beneficies Plnra ' . ries Bdl ) he -. visaed to state why he considered it wtuld not nave the good effects it was intended to produce . The

      <_ "h 7 ircii Commission had not produced anv really efficient measure of church reiorm . The Honourable Member contended that it was the duty of Parliament to take the affairs of the church under serious consideration . The holding of pluralities and the non-residence of the c . ergy o-ght to be for ever abolished . He observed by Parliamentary Papers That the number of benefices in England was 10 , 971 ; no leis than 5 , 425 of tbe clergy were non-resident . Tixe total number of livings in which , there was residence was 5 . 146 . In another Parliamentary paper they might see there stood exempt from residence , -ranch was taking money and doing nothing for it , 2 . 255 ; clergymen absent by license , 1 , 704 ; absent duty without license or excuse , 1 , 016 . It was true

      that out of all the non-residents there was a certain nninber who did duty in one parish , but they left -otiier-pa-ishes to take care of themselves . Of that description the number was 1 , 466 ; the number of those who did duty connected with their livings was £ , 792 . That was all out of the 10 , 9 / L He had asked what was the reason why they did not all do c-iejrduty , and was told the reason- was , certain places had bat small livings , and the income of one would no : support a clergyman . There , were 4 , 608 livings in which there was no residence . Did not - this show that the abolition of pluralities wasneces-•• saryr He should propose that abolition , and .-afford the poorer clergy the means of support in -every parish . This might be done by appropriating to each # 300 a year . A sum amounting to £ ' 407 . OD 0 sFonld accomplish that object . He might be asked "how it waste be ^ obtained ? His answer was get it out of the rich livings . The Hon . M * mW « n .

      oinded by moving that it be an instruction to the - Comniittee toprovide in the . said bill against the appointment in plnrality to any . benefice or catheiiral pnsfenaent from aad after tlie passing of this -bm . Lord J . RUSSELL referred to the report of the chnrch commission , which stated with respect to small lhiiurs , that 1 , 922 bepefices were -under £ 100 , and 3 ^ 28 under £ 150 , To many of these benefices - there were no glebe-houses , andlie did not think in _ . * h £ cass of so many small livings it would be expe' ¦ dieut to abolish them altogether . The HononraDle "Member-was desirous of taking-money from the . ' largp livings to add to the small . ¦ The Noble "Lord could not consent to take the bill on those terms , becaQ < e ' a . proposiUon of that sort would excite great dis' conteat among the clergy . In many "instances § reat , . objection , had been mile to the alienation of livings . ^ iiacfer sH the bearings of the question the Noble ; J J « Qfi opposed theinstruction ^ to the Committee which iueHcsi .

      THE REV . MR . BULL AND THE LEEDS MERCURY . The furious attacks that have been made upon my character in some of the recent numbers of the Leeds Mercury , appear to ile : » and soine public notice from me . AH that the ingenious malignity of Mr . Edward Baines and his father can produce — all t ? he garnish of their unrivalled abusive vocabulary , and their usual tact of suppression find misrepresentation has been brought to bear upon " The Parson Ajiititor , " an epithet never applied to 'Agitators ' n ^ ainst the oppressions of the injured Negro , but bestowed , by wny of special honour upon all who lift up their voices against ' tyranny at home . I am charged by the Editors of that paper ( one of them an M . P . for Leeds ) with being- " a-shabby calumniator" ( Mercury of March 31 st ) and in the Mercnry of May 5 tb , the Editors profess to give a etter ol mine to the Times .

      For all that tbe readers may knbvv to the contrary , they appear to have giveu the whole , of that letter . But the truth is , that they suppress both the former and the latter parts of it ; for what purpose and with what intent , let the reader judge , and then decide who are the " shabby calumniators . " The whole of my letter to the Times is as follows . ¦ ¦ . . ' ¦ ' The passages in italics are omitted by the Editors of the Leeds Mercury . '

I am , Sir , yours truly ,

      G . S . BULL . Bradford , Yorkshire , April 21 . The omission of the Jfrsi part of this letter is preceded by the Editor * " statement , that " the Reverend retailer himself , under the fear of being visited by the House of Commons lor contumacy towards its Committee , has been obliged publicly to coptradictitinthe Times newspaper . " Now , this is altogether a falsehood ; and Mr . Baines , M . P . knows it to be so . "When I was examined before the Committee of the House of Commons ( Mr . Baines being present ) I declined answering their inquiries respecting the cases alluded to , on the express ground , and on that ground only , that I expected to be examined by a Committee of the House of Lords on the subject . Let the reader judge between us . The following extract from published evidence of the Committee of the House of Commons , Report 21 , page 1 / , will set the matter in a clear light ; - — ' <¦' . "

      Question 6391 . Mr . LlDDELir—Have , ibese ca ^» -t ) een specifically mentioned and aUfided to in the Houae of Lord * ? - Answer—They have . 6392—To your knowledge ?—Yes . 6393—Have you every reason to believe that you trill be examined upon that point ?—I have . 6394 . Mr . Bai . VES—By whom examined ? Answer—By a Committee of the House of Lords . . 639 $ —JJpj ? there been any Committee of the House of Lords appointed ? Answer—It has been stated ty a Koblu Lord , that it is his intention to move a committee for that purpose 6396 . Chairman— You now being before the House of Commons , and having come here b y your own application , and a question being proposed to you . even aubDosW a

      committee of the House of Lords to be appointed , is that a reason for your refusing to anawer a question before a Committee of the House pf Commons ? ....... Anwser—In applying to . be examined here , I madn ' tlie express reservation of this matter to Mr . Fielden , and I did no as lately as this Tiiorning , on coming into tteroom , in conversation with him . As a derernian ^ occupying " a respectable situation in the country , and as one who , like every other person , must stand or fall by his character , it is a matter of very great importance to me that J should have an opportunity , if ' it is thought proper to' give me one , of answering for myself before the same public tribunal , the highest in tie" lima , as Chat before which . I have been accused . ... ¦

      Mr . Baines , as a member of the Committeehnust know that T received no direction from the Cemmittee to write to the Times on . thb suiyeot . 1 will not call upon the enemies or . uolitical tfppwentef of Mr .-Bafn . 7 w , to condemn , hisi ' coffduet ^ 0- thus mi 8-reprefenting me—his friend * shall excuse hfpi if they can . As he mast have known thdt tbJe ' ' , st&te « ment in the Mercury was false " when-it was published , it is manifest that he is a '' shVbby calumniator , indeed . " Now , to suppression of the 7 a « f sentence of , my letter and fhe accompanying misrepresentation . u l . » th t Mercury of May . 5 th , ^ the : Editors write , ' fcbU , however , Mr . Bull gives neither name nor place : we must still take his own version , or that of his messsenger , but he will be compelled to be more commnnicative . " ¦¦ - ' , ..:- ' .

      The fact is , that he ( Mr . Bull ) cannot he " more communicative ; than he had already teen , when the calumniator was writing this - « habby" paragraph . ' ¦¦ • "' .

      The charitable feeling of the pious Mi-w Edwarti , and the honourable regard to the privileges of Parliament in the old gentleman , may be seen in the following extraet from the jificrcur ^ , of March 21 . M We understand that the Ber . ! Mr . . Bull was examined before the Poor Law Committee of the House of Commons , where ; he cut a Tery pretty figure , refusing to answer the questions put to him as to the alleged flogging of the female though that refusal' exposed ' him to unpleasant c 6 n * eguence $ , " I have unQetstood that Honourable Members are bound by very strict ^ obligations , I understand by oaiti , vipt to fliyulge what j » asses in committee , when the room is cleared . I have been at some pains t » learn what these " unpleasant come-4 uences werej to which I was unwillingly exposed . I understand that there was a communication with the Speaker , respecting "my havinc

      declined to answer the questions ori the sole ground of my having to answer before the House of Lords . TheSpea / cef is reported toihaye said that he could not give an opinion upon , the question whether or riot I was justified in declining to answer for the reasons stated , but if the committee would then adjourn , he would consider on the case .: He did so , but did not advise any steps to be taken against me for contumacy . I yfaa quite unaware of what was goi ng on : I saw Mr . Wakley bustle ou <; and bustle in again whi ^ t we waited outside the room , but to this day I do not know what the Hon . Member ^ errand was , but if the above report be true , he probably was the messenger to Mr . Speaker , with a view of bringing upon the contumacious Mr . Bull the " unpleasant consequences" which would doubtless have been a great treat to ray Mercarial foes .

      Now all this stratagem was , it appears , sent off by the same post from the M . P . to his son , as a savoury dish for the admirers of ^ he Mercury . Is not this cutting a pretty figure , Mr . Baines , that you should be sent to Parliament ae a sort of penny a . line reporter of the secrets of Parliament , to cater for your own paper ? You are , indeed , an Houourable Member ! ' This is not the first time that you have cut a pretty figure . I did not recollect when you were questioning trie so sagely about my duty , "before I did

      prbir . \« : ue it , to have ascertained whether the fact was jv . \ £ ; ue u , to have ascertained whether the tact was true "—( Qviest . 6507 j &c)—it did not occur to me h > ask you whether yon felt it your duty to ascertain whether the fact Was true before yoii charged my Into friend , Mr . Sadler , with being by intention an iissassin ,. or whether it was under theffarof being visited by the verdict of a British jury for this " flagrant and nnomiHable fiction" that you , Sir , flid , in your own next paper , go down upon your knees , and bug for mercy at Mr . Sadler ' s hands ? What a pretty figure ( never to be forgotten ) you cut then !

      Some of my friends " , who have read my evidence , tell me that all this shabby calumny , which you and your gentlemanly son now hatch against me , is sheer spite , for the following home thrusts that you forced me to make at you before the Committee .

      Report 22 , page 9 . Question G 507 . Mr . BaINES—Do you think that , ' supposing any . person were to attend at u public meeting , and to make ;> uecliirution thnt was calculated to implicate your character , it would not be U 19 duty of that , person first to ascertain whether the shitement which he made was a true statement ot ncit ? 1 put it to yourself individua"U y ; if I go to a public meeting , and 1 think proper to propagate a report that I have heard to your disadvantage , would it not have been my duty , Wlore I propagate it , to have ascertained wliether the fact , vfiis true or it wui false ? Answer—Y \ i a , I think it would , and I would particularly refer , as an ( . illustration of that , to a case that applied to my-Si'lf , wherein Iwas once stated in the Leeds Mercury to have beun guilty of kicking persona at a public meeting , and that st ; itenn'iit u ; i .-i jriade by the Editor of the Leeds Alercurx j wuhuut cyi'v iisct > rtainin ^ whether that was the case or not n'sp ^ otiiip Urn ; and I also did aver that that statement was wholly false .

      tiaO . i— I suppose , theU j you think that the Editor of tho IhwIs . Vt-iTitii / , in making that statement , misconducted himself , smd unglit tp have taken the opportunity of ascerttiiriin ^ the liicU before he made the declaration ? Answer- — Yes , and I . also observed that the Editor of the lsei / s Mercury-, never made me any amends for that . Cony—In ho dbmg he neglected to perform his duty . — Yos . ¦ " ' ¦ . ' - - . . • ¦ ¦ ti . "> 31 . —Thun , if you have niad ? this declaration without asei'rtaiiiing the fact , and have not made any reparation to the injured rnirtyvou have neglected to perform your dnty ? AiiswoT . — I would say , ui answer to that question , that if I had been krtown to have been guilty of any such prjetices previously , as were then attributed to me , and if such things had brten proved against n » e before , or had appealed in my ( , rcn ( . 'ral proceedings , such aa kicking persons at public meetliijfs , tht * Eilitur of _ the Leeds Mercury would have been authorised to have inferrea , if such a thing had been r .-ported to him , that I had done so at the meeting felrrrod to .

      Mr . Bjiines had ; been questioning me about strong language used at the Weat Riding meeting , when Mr . Kjfl . pRX asked—¦ Question ( wS 2 . ~ l ) n yon know that there wCreatthat meeting gentlemen vn the huntings who reside in London , and who came - dow . n to that meeting ? Answer . —I i 5 ti ; with regard to all such language , perhaps I may'be veniiittedto say , that atpuWic meetingauithe north « V nv ' c : iccnsti >]) ied . to meet with a great deal of violent lanpiiiigu and vinli-nt proceedings ; as an illustration of what I stiite , I in ; iy he allowed to state that during the agitation upon the Uefornj Bill , there was a meeting held at Leeds , at H-iiinh the Queen was dressed in breeches , tbe King in pfittifonts , inid tht ! executioner , with a blood y axe j was borne before t \ m processioh , and thrfte groans were given for the Quern , at the ri ' jjuest of a young gentleman ; I am sure , in all our 1 'oor Law agitations , we have nBver arrived at that pitch ; and that was di ; ne at hieetings of highly respectable persons so called . T

      \\ hat a pretty figure the jumor Editor cut when he wan groaning at his Queen ? ' ¦¦ ¦¦ In conclusion , J have only to assure both my friends and my foes that I have taken up my position against this law from a sense of duty to my conscience , to my church , to my flock , aiid to my country , and whatever may be the result to myself , I shall never swerve from what I believe to be my duty from the fears ef the Leeds Mercury or its Editors , or any " unpleasant consequences" which my profesedly pious and patriotic enemies may desire to bring upon me .

( A laugh . WithiBspecttowhathehad&ardof -fee speeduhe Trould-oD 3 erTe . Hiat as to plnraoties he recollected in the year 1813 an instance where six livings were held in plurality , and the aggregate amount of the whole was only , £ 300 a-year . With regard to advowsons , they were as much the property of the patron as his manors , and were saleable by law , so that until the law was altered , they could not be distributed to increase small livings . The House then divided , when the numbers

      were—For the instruction .. 3 / Against it ............. ...... 107 ^ Majority .......... —¦—/ 0 . The House then went into committee , and the first clause was agreed to . Upon the proposition that in the second clause the word " two" should be inserted , with the new of giving archdeacons two benefices , Mr . C . LUSH-1 XGTON said he should oppose the proposition . The Committee then divided , when the numbers ¦ were— - m ^ Torthe original proposition ......... 71 Against it ................... .............. 32 Majority ——39 The blank was then filled up with the word two . Clause the second was then agreed to .

      In the third clause , in which a blank had been left to be filled up by the specification of the highest amount of revenue to be enjoyed by any archdeacon possessing another benefice , Lord J . RUSSELL having moved that in the blank the sum of £ 1 , 000 should be inserted , Mr . HUME said that he wonld oppose that proposition , as he intended to move the insertion of the sum of £ 500 . The House then divided , when there appeared—For tbe insertion of £ 1 , 000 . 65 Against it 44 Majority . 21 On clause fonr being read ,

      Mr . RIPON moved an addition to the clause " that no clergyman should accept a second b nefice unless its income was iusuflici ^ it to support a minuter . " Lord J . RUSSELL said , b y the bill livings held in plurality must not be more than ten miles asunder ; at present , Brings might be held forty-five miles asunder ; that alteration would probably dimiaisli the present number of pluralities to One-fourth . Sir E . SUGDEN said the present clause related only to distance , and the Hon . Gentleman who muved the amendment could liot iiitnxiuce in it a question of value . It was eriuentheliud no plan by which to attain his object .

      The qnesiion was put that the words be added , and negatived without-a division . Colonel SiBTllORP fhemnuwd to substitute the « orus " fifcMi mdes" for "ten ruiles . " ivord J . RUSSELL opposed the amendment : ten miles h : id been unanimously agreed to as a reasonable distance by the Cominis .-iouers , and Le could not consent t >> the present proposition . The : tineudmei ; t was negatived without a division , and the clnure was . agreed to . On clause 5 , Lord J . RUSSELL s : ud that , as it had Veil suggested to him by the Hon . Member for

      Kilkenny , and by inany other persons , that a joint value would be better thaw a separate one , he would , therefore , move that the following words be sub . sti - tuteJ , " and be it enacted tiiat any spiritual person holding a benefice , uwj bold another . witliin the above-mentioned distance , provided the amount of •^ ouls Ji > es nut exceed 3 . 000 , and the jn . iut value not exeved £ 1 , 1 ) 00 . . The amendment and the clause were agreed to . Clauses 0 and 7 were then agreed to . On ' ivMiso b * ( against allowing dispensations ) , Mr . GLADSTON E opposed the clause . The numbers
