LVPORTAJrr FROM GREAT BRITAIN. FOUR DAYS LATER. By the arrival of the packet ship Monongahela, Capt. Brown, from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 8th of April, Liverpool papers to that date and London to the 7th, have been received at the Coffee House. JVi-xc York Com. A dvert iscr. The Ministerial plan of Church Reform for Ireland, is again before the House of Common?, Lord Althorp having moved a series of resolutions in a general committee of the whole house, for the purpose of carrying the plan into effect. The resolutions in Monday's debate were opposed by Mr. Lefroy, Mr. IIalcomb,Sir Robert Inglis. and Sir Robert Tee!, and supported by Mr. Shiel. Mr. Pryme, Mr. Macauly and Lord John Russell. The principal objection to the plan urged on Monday was, that the tax to be levied on the income of the Irish Clergy, in lieu of the abolished first fruits, and to supply the amount of the Churches, would he an unjust and oppressive exaction on a body of men who have already
paid the first fruits of their living, and who for
three years past has received little or no income. First, "as to the payment of the first fruits. Not more than J 1 a year for the last thirty years.
This, therefore must be regarded merely as a
nominal payment, it is a pittance not worth men tioning.
As to the other objection, it leaves out of sight
this most material tact, that the Clergy have lor
acres been receiving enormous payments for most
inefficient services, and often for no services at all, and that the body of the people who pay the tax are of different religion from the clergy who
receive it, this is a system of injustice and op
pression, which has now grown into so great
practical grievance, that it is in iminent danger
or tumbling down about me cars ol those who sunncrt it. But even leaving all considerations
of equity out of the question what is the plain matter of fact? Why, that the whole of the Church Revenue are in jeopard-; and thev can
only be rescued by a sacrifice of a part. For it is the enormous amount of those revenues that put them in danger. They are burdensome.
The Church vessel has too heavy a cargo, and if the crew refuse to throw overboard a portion of
it when the ship is labouring, the whole must sinl together.
The speech of Mr. Shiel furnished numerous
precedents for interference with Church proper
tv, and for a just and rational settlement of the
expenses of the establishments where they exist
The strongest case was that of Canada, which
being the work of a modern British Legislature.
shows common sense and justice. The majority
of the Canadian population being Catholics, (the
province having for a long time been French.)
I'aiiiament declared the Catholic to be the es
tablished religion; but the lands of the protestanls were exempted from the tithes levied for the support of the Catholic clergy. The London Times, remarks The same principle ought a priori to be applito Ireland, for the proportion of Protestants to Catholics is far less in Ireland than in Canada. The plain truth, that if there is any established religion at all in Ireland, it ought to be Catholic. On every principle on which Churchmen themselves defend the establishments, this ought to be the case. A protestant establishment in a Catholic country is an anomaly, and injustice: and so far from being in the eyes of any right judging Protestant, favorable to the spread of Protestantism, it affixes upon that religion a stigma and an odium, and is a heavy clog upon all its movements. It burdens the Catholic, but it also binds him the more firmly to his own faith. It enriches, and at the same time enervates the Protestant; in peaceful times it makes him envied and hated in times of trouble, it makes him a victim and a spoil. The only consideration which can induce dissenters of liberal Episcopalians to acquiesce in the ministerial plan, and receive it with gratitude, is, that it is all which there is the least probability of attaining at present. Mr. Macauly justly observed "Whatever might be his opinion of the abstract questions mooted by some honorable gentlemen, his w ish was to carry this measure, and he feared that by rendering it stronger than it was at present, they would be but increasing the difficultie now thrown in its way as to its final progress."
We concur in this opinion, and should undoubt
edly, if we had a vote, give it fortius great and wise reform. Yet at the same time we highly approve of the decision of the most respectable meeting in Glasgow, w hich has petitioned Parliament to make a total separation between
Church and State in Ireland. Dissenters ought at this time to make known their principles, both
candor and sound policy require it. I his mcas
ure cannot be final. Mr. Macauly said on Mon-
day-
"This measure he warmly supported, because he thought it calculated to administer to the
peace of Ireland because it was the beginning and not the end of a series of judicious measures
in the church.
We should go further than Mr. Macauly, tho
he would advocate as thorough and extensive a
church reform as any man who approves of a re
ligious establishment connected with the State.
The conclusion of his admirable speech on Monday, as strikingly true as it is eloquent, seems to
us not merely to prove the folly of overgrown cs tablishments, but the impolicy and mischievousnessof establishments altogether. Potestant
ism has groaned and languished under their
weight ever since the days of Luther and Calvin.
It will never flourish as it ought, till every letter
eusgmscd under the lorm oi gilded trappings is struck off, and genuine Christianity is allowed to exert all the energy of perfect freedom.
PROCLAMATION Of the Irish Government under the JYew Bill. Dublin, Sunday, April 7. The following Proclamation extending the

"A person whose name we understand U Thomas, approached the President, and tendering his hand, observed 'General! if you will premise to reprieve me, I w ill murder the dastard.'

MISSOURI LEAD MINES. Official information has been received by the superintendent of the United Stales' Lead Mines, at Galena, that the Lead Mines on the West bank of the Mississippi, recently ceded by the Sac and Fox Indians, will be opened for lease on the first day of June next. A writer" in the Galenian states, that new and valuable discoveries of lead ore have been made upon the East bank of the Mississippi, between the Platte and Grant rivers, in Iowa county, M. T. The ore is said to be of the best quality, in large bodies, and over an extensive tract of country. Among the most valuable discoveries, is a horizontal cave, the entrance of which is about 150 feet above the level of the river. It is from two to four feet wide, and from six to nine feet high. From this cave, about 400.000 pounds of lead ore have been taken, with little labour; and the
operation was still continued. The land is of
the best quality, and covered with timber. A
town called Van Buren, (which name has also
been given to the mines and cave aeljacent) has
been laid out.and that part of the country is rap
idly increasing in population.

by practical remarks on Astral Observations,

the longitude cannot be determined at sea by the Chronometer unless the latitude is previously
