Sir J » Newport complained of the ^ consistency of giving the money al together in England to a Protestant population , while in Ireland it was only lent , and was repaid by Catholics . He was apprehensive the grant would be abused here , as similar grants had been abused
on the other side of the channel . It was extraordinary that Gentlemen should get up day after day aud claim for the Church of England the praise of liberality to Dissenters , while they saw how much more liberal the conduct of France and Hungary was with respect to those who differed from the Established Religion of
those countries * Mr . V . Fitzgerald denied the inconsistency described by his Hon . Friend . Mr . Grattan took the same view of the subject as his Honourable Friend the Member for Waterford .
Mr . Phillips adverted to the petition , presented yesterday to the House from Manchester , and declared , that it appeared to him most disgraceful that there should be no grants for the erection of
Churches in Ireland , where they were so much wanted , while such large sums were voted for their erection in England , although it was evident that in many parts they were not wanted at all .
Mr . Monck would support the Bill if he thought it necessary for the Church , but he was persuaded that it was not so . He expressed his regret that the Church of England was unpopular , principally in consequence of the character of the Clergy themselves . No man could think more
highly of their attainments than he did , but he thought they were greatly deficient in zeai for the spiritual welfare of their flocks . This appeared to him to be the marked distinction between them and the Dissenters * Adverting to the application that had been made of the
money already voted , he exposed the absurdity of building Churches in rich parishes chiefly , and neglecting poor parishes . This absurdity was in a great measure attributable to the regulations of the Bill . He wished the patronage
should be in the hands of those by whom the Church was built . If Methodists were allowed to build Churches and have the patronage of them , it might be the means of bringing back a respectable body of Dissenters to the Church . He
was certainly disposed to vote for the postponement of the measure . Sir Isaac Coffin : " I say , Sir , let us go on , and have the Churches . " The House then divided : —Ayes , 42 : Noes , 9 . The Report was then brought up and ^ ad 4 tl ^ di time .

The Philadelphia National Gazette , of July 16 , says , " A curious public dispute is waged in this city . Two of our clergymen , the Rev . Mr . M'Cauiey and the Rev . Abner Kneeland , have been some days debating before a numerous audience in the Universalists' Church , iia Lombard Street , the point , whether a part of
the Jiuman race will be eternally damned , or the whole ultimately saved . Three moderators or judges have been chosen , who > sit behind each of the contending divines , as he urges his opinion , according to his favourite explanation of the text of Scripture . We learn from gentlemen , who have entered the church for a short
time , that the disputants seemed intensely earnest , and the moderators profoundlyattentive . Stenographers , it is added , are employed in taking down the arguments , in order that they may be reported . "— Times , Aug . 19 , 1824 .

LITERARY . It is the intention of Mr . Worsley , of Plymouth , very shortly to publish a second editilion of Lectures on Noncon * formity , the copies of the first edition having been almost all engaged by subscribers ; lie has collected much additional matter , with a view farther to illustrate tlie subjects he has treated of , from Mosheim and other writers on
Ecclesiastical History , and intends to add a twelfth Lecture , shewing ** That the extreme corruption into which the Church fell was foreseen and foretold by the apostles ; that therefore instead of being an argument against our holy religion , it is an evidence of its divine origin /* It has been intimated to Mr . W . from highly
respectable quarters , that the work would be acceptable to our tract societies if it were at a somewhat lower price : he would be happy to receive any proposals of this kind prior to the work going to press ; the next edition will be 12 mo . It is his intention also to publish two separate discourses " On the Corruptions which originated from Pagan and from Jewish Origins . "
