o.6aMirs SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We hear n• response from the Reformers of any part of the country in accordance with the display at Bath. The term Reformer must, of necessity, be applied to men of very different views, for all who wish change and amelioration in our institutions cannot be supposed to agree as to the precise amount of change that constitutes amelioration. This ought to be a motive with Reformers for the tolerance of each other. And, in truth, the violence of most of the Bath speakers, the inconceivable animosity displayed by some of them, Colonel Napier for one, against the Whigs, so far from injuring Ministers in general esti mation, seems rather to have produced a reaction in their favour, even among those who would wish them to move with more rapidity. There is a love of justice among the people of England, and bitter and envenomed invectives against statesmen who have many claim on the gratitude of their country, and who are surrounded on all sides with difficulties, are not to their taste. We confess we were sorry to see Sir William Molesworth, whose inten tions we never questioned, and whose language bears testimony to his candour and sincerity, adopting a course which must, we fear, considerably impair his power of being useful. The Tories are, of course, in raptures with the exhibition at Bath. They are, how ever, premature in their triumph. When Parliament meets, it will be soon seen that few Members are afflicted with the Bath mania, and the want of sympathy of the House will operate as a sedative on the few rest less spirits, who, in their impatience that all their doctrines are not instantly acted on, would throw the three kingdoms into confusion. The Times, in deed, halloos on these gentlemen. " The mauling these official personages" (Ministers), says our Con temporary, " received at Bath was transcendent ; if they survive it, we apprehend it may be for some rea son like that by which one accounts for the wonderful escape of a certain order of adventurers from fire and water—namely, that they are predestined to a more elevated and conspicuous sort of exit." This sort of ribaldry will not disturb much the equanimity of Mi nisters. They will stand or fall by their own mea sures; and the best answer to their opponents will be the success of their policy, the prosperity the country has hitherto enjoyed under their administration, and the proposal of such measures as will meet the appro bation of the wise and good. It was admitted by Sir William Molesworth himself that the vice of the House of Lords could have been established in fib way so satisfactorily as by the policy pursued by Lord Melbourne's Ministry. If that House persists in its course of opposing itself to the just de mands of the people, Sir William will probably find that the further trial afforded may not be super fluous. Of those who last year deprecated the agitation of Peerage Reform, many aihnitted that, if the Lords continued to provoke collision with the Commons, a remedy must be sought for the evil. If it be demonstrated, even to these persons, that a House of Commons really representing the interests of the nation cannot act in harmony with an unreformed House of Peers, the practical good sense of the country will dictate a remedy. There is no reason for im patience. In England, thank God, matters are not come to that pass that we cannot bear with the House of Lords for one year longer, if the delay facilitate the Reform. The proceedings of the last year or two have done wonders in the way of lightening the task of Re form ; and the conviction of its necessity among the solid and respectable portion of the community cannot be too extensive, when the work is fairly entered on. But it would be madness in Ministers to propose or even to express the approbation of any extensive or 7 ganical change in the Constitution, till it is loudly de manded by the people.—Morning Chronicle. The Palmerston print, in alluding to the expres sions which the Constitutionnel untruly told its readers Lord Lyndhurst had used at the Court of Assizes of the Seine on Saturday last, is, as usual, flippant, and foolish. It affects surprise that any one should have believed that Lord Lyndhurst could ever have discountenanced persecutions of the press—that a Con servative Peer could have deviated into liberality or justice. Most of our readers, of whatever party, will, we think, concur with us in the opinion that none but a very " juvenile" Whig indeed (however gray his hairs) could have been ignorant of the fact, that Sir John Copley never instituted any prosecution against a newspaper; while it will, we are sure, be universally admitted that the sub and scrub of every Administration in the worst days of Toryism, which Lord Palmerston was (we are almost tempted to publish the nickname Lord Brougham gave him), can know no more about the feelings or opinions of Conservative Peers, than a scullion promoted to the butler's pantry knows of what is passing in the drawing-room. We find, too, in the same print, a most characteristic criticism upon the lan guage of Lord Lyndhurst. It cannot understand how, if Lord Lyndhurst had really used the expressions that have been falsely attributed to him, at such a time, and in such a place, those expressions could pos sibly have constituted "an impertinence." Perhaps it is not to he expected that anything under the in fluence of a Foreign Secretary who thinks himself jus tified in employing sundry vessels and thousands of marines to regulate the councils of the Cabinet of her Most Faithful Majesty, should be able to discern the impertinence of a foreigner, however eminent by learn ing and station, criticising the conduct of a Govern ment when appealing to the law, and making his cri ticism in the very court and at the very moment that law was in the course of administration. The ques tion, as everybody who is not a mere dolt sees, is not whether Lord Lyndhurst, or any other en lightened Englishman might properly entertain the opinion ascribed to him, and even express it in his private circle ; but whether a public parade of his opinion on the very spot where the Government and the law were in a regular course of action would not have been an " impertinence." At the same time we strongly suspect that if, when Mr. Attorney- General Denman was prosecuting Cobbett (which Mr. Attorney-General Copley never did, though he had ten thousand times greater provocation), any great foreign lawyer and distinguished statesman had been heard so to express himself in the Court of King's Bench on the subject of that trial, the whole of the Government organs would have been loud in their de nouncement of such an " impertinence "—and we are not quite sure that the late Tory Secretary at War, and now Vhig-Radical Secretary for Foreign Affairs (with the view, it would seem, of giving employment to a Secretary at War), would not have thought the incident a saNient justification for the suspension of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and the employment of British sailors and engineers in a skulking, bucanier ing expedition c i long the coast of the country to which " the impertinent " belonged—provided, of course, that he could have done so with impunity from the weakness of those whom he attacked abroad, as in Spain, and from the dishonesty and number of his backers at home, as in St. Stephen' s.—Times. The office allotted to Sir Robert Peel by the Tories —the leadership of their forlorn hope in Scotland--is anything but an enviable distinction : it is one in which the Hon. Baronet appears destined, instead of victory and honour, to reap nothing but defeat and mortifica tion. Adverse as we are in politics to Sir Robert Peel, it really excites our pity to see him, again and again, through the unmerciful obstinacy of the Tories, thrust forward as a candidate for the " sweet voices" of the inhabitants of Glaosow and its vicinity ; and, like a favourite actor %mat in a prominent part to redeem an unpopular " piece," doomed to bear all the dainnatory evidences of its bilure. Sir Robert is a clever actor, but he cannot achieve impossibilities ; he cannot, with all his skill and experience in the performance of many parts, gain the approbation of the enlightened, ho nest, and independent people of Scotland for a sys tem which, in practice and purpose, is hostile to the interests and safety of the state, and opposed to the immutable principles of justice and freedom. Had the Tories been content with the preference shown by the ass-in-presenti youths of the University, the; might have enjoyed their sham triumph, without even the ridiculous parade of the exhibition attracting atten tion to its insignificance. Tho precocious senators of the University might be safely left to the indulgence of a vanity pardonable in boyhood, like children " play ing at soldiers" when scarcely escaped from their swad dling clothes—these cap-and-gown men might be per- mitted to mistake their academies for the robes of the Senate-house, and fancy themselves capable of pro nouncing an opinion on the affairs of the nation, while incapable of managing their own without any mischief being apprehended; but when the Tories attempt to make fools of men, and grace their ludicrous pageant with the mature and substantial citizens, they carry the joke too far, and their folly deserves the reproof and the repetition of the reproof which it has received from the Common Council of Glasgow and the inhabitants of Paisley. Upon the rejection of the Right Hon. Baronet by that worthy body, it was proposed that, through the medium of one of the trades' corporations, we be lieve the weavers, he should receive admission into their body, and that in order to mark their approba tion of his conduct, the admission should be presented in a silver box ; but this proposition also was defeated by some droll wight recommending instead' thereof the presentation of a shuttle, as emblematic of Sir Robert's skill in flying through the warp and woof of sophistry from one side of a question to the other. A meeting of the inhabitants of Paisley was con vened, for the purpose of presenting an address to the redoubtable Sir Robert, and a large meeting assembled in consequence ; but, lo I the requisitionists having omitted to specify the nature of the address, it was found out, when too late, that the majority attended for the purpose of passing an address of censure, and not of congratulation. The Tories were in a quandary, and begged that the meeting should not be considered as a meeting of the inhabitants of Paisley, but that all those who pleased, within or without the borough, might be permitted to sign the address—from this, of course, the meeting could not dissent, and the address is to be hawked about the country for signatures. The address which the majority of the meeting intended to present, after acknowledging Sir Robert's talent and classical attainment, and the share which he took in the Catholic Emancipation Act—which, be it remem bered, he supported not from principle, but for the sake of office—thus expressed the sentiments inspired by Sir Robert's political career : " In reviewing your life as a statesman, we regret to find that, with this exception, you have almost invariably given your support to such measures as were alone calculated to abridge the liberties of the people, while measures of an op posite tendency have never failed to find in you as able and uncompromising foe. " We cannot allow the present opportunity to pass with out calling your attention to the national church ; and, Sir, as regards the church of Scotland, it seems to us passing strange that you can advocate additional endowments, while the present establishment seems likely, at no distant period, to devour the vitals of the country. " We trust, however, •that the Supreme Ruler of all things will soon convince you of the error of your opinions, and that when you are about to close your earthly career, you may enjoy the consoling reflection that those great ta lents which a beneficent Creator has conferred upon you, have been employed for the purpose of ameliorating the con dition of mankind, instead of arresting the progress of hu man improvement." • We fancy, though this is rather a cutting commen tary on him who is boastingly termed the " ex"-and " proximate" Premier, it will not much serve to whet his appetite for the approaching feast. Though we know from experience that Sir Robert can change his costume with the dexterity of a Harlequin, we are certain that the character in which he will figure in Glasgow will be the most novel in which he has yet appeared—that of a melancholy mountebank.—Morn ing Advertiser. In a free State a Government should not only be able to bear, but should be ready to invite, the severest scrutiny of public opinion into the whole of its con duct. A Government, whose acts will not bear that scrutiny, is one obviously unfit to exercise power over a free people. Statesmen, whose characters, conduct, and acts shrink from the rough but wholesome criti cism of a free Press, ought to wrap up their reputa tions in flannel, and keep away from the rude gusts of political life altogether. Their moral constitutions are too infirm and ricketty for the stormy scenes of public contention, into which such moral invalids are no more fit to enter than sick people and cripples were qualified to engage in the manly and athletic rivalry of the Isthmian games. We have never known an instance of a political prosecution arising out of the free dis cussion of public character or political measures, which, whether successful or otherwise, did not do serious injury to the Government, or the politician by whom it was instituted. The last effort of the Whigs in this way was the prosecution of the late Mr. Cobbett for political libel ; and certainly the result of the experiment was riot such as was likely to tempt them very soon to repeat it. The Whigs were then in the full possession of their popu larity, but:the attempt to silence by penal terrors a writer with whose powerful genius the whole host of Government Journalists were unable successfully to grapple, seriously damaged that popularity, and con ferred on their triumphant critic the charter of bound less freedom during the remainder of his career. But in England, even in the worst of times, the prosecu tion of opinions was hardly ever carried to such lengths as it has been in France since the "glorious days of July." Perhaps we shall not go beyond the mark if we say, that since Louis Philippe was raised to the Throne, more by the instrumentality of the Press than by any thing else, there have been not less than 500 State prosecutions against the Journals. Of these some have been successful, many have not; but whe ther the verdict was for the accused or against, there has not been a single one of those prosecutions which has not contributed its share in breaking down the popularity of the citizen-King and his Ministers for the time being. What public man in France so odious as Persil, whose name has been connected with so many of those foolish experiments to silence adverse opinion, and to establish a tyranny as dark and sullen as that of Russian despotism in the France of July ? During six years has the King of the French been almost in cessantly at war with the Press. Almost the whole of that time he received the praises of our own Whig Journals, for the profound wisdom, or at least the shrewdness and sagacity of his Government. Even ultra-Liberal English Statesmen, such as Earl Dur ham and Lord Brougham, have publicly alluded to his Government in the language of adulation. It was not until he positively refused to be a party to a profligate aggression upon the independence of Spain, not a whit :less disgraceful than that led by the Duke d'An gouleme, that the Journals of the Whig Ministry dis covered the infirmities of his character, and the vices of his Government. We, who used to stand pretty nearly alone in expressing condemnation of much of Louis Philippe's policy, are rlow sometimes placed under the necessity of defending him in some respects from the fierce and indiscriminate attacks of his former panegyrists. The question of direct in tervention in Spanish affairs was an instance. The most recent instance of prosecution against the Press in France—that of the Courrier Francais—was, for what was considered a libel on the King himself. What was the sting of the libel ?—The responsibility of the King, whom the Charter declares to be irre sponsible—and irresponsible, no doubt, he is, in point of law, though, in fact, he takes all possible pains to make the notion of Kingly responsibility a favourite one with the public mind. The King, who is his own chief Minister, seems to make a voluntary sacrifice of the inviolability of a King, and to render himself amenable not only to public opinion, but to the laws which regulate ministerial responsibility. It is for asserting as much as this that the Courrier Francais has been dragged by the King's prosecutor before a criminal tribunal, and the assertion seems to have re ceived the stamp of acknowledged public doctrine, by the triumphant acquittal of that Journal. Will the King of the French never learn that to govern accord ine,r to the Charter, which was purchased with the blood of a revolution, will show more wisdom on his part than the most ingenious violations of its provi sions, incurring the necessity of submitting to just cen sure or silencing public opinion by the incessant and over-strained exercise of vindictive law ? No King in Europe, not even the most despotic, is so much his own Minister as Louis Philippe, and no King finds his life so insecure among his people. Whatever, therefore, may be said of his irresponsibility in a constitutional point of view, it is quite clear that the prominence with which he puts hims e lf f orwar d i n the administration of the Go vernment mind, divesting has him of the R injurious oya effect i attribute on o t f h e p e p r s u o b n l a ic l inviolability, and connecting his conduct with the no tion of an accountable agent—a doctrine not produc tive of more peril and anxiety to himself than danger- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1837. ous to the peace of the kingdom. Had the prosecution against the Courrier Francais succeeded what differ ence would it have made ? The editor would have been sentenced to fine and imprisonment, but that opinion of which he was the representative could not be locked up within his prison walls—could not be chained in the silence and solitude of the deepest dungeon in any French Bastile. The journalist might be deprived of pen, ink, and paper, and even the " desperate charcoal" placed beyond his reach, but the power of public opinion cannot be restrained by iron bars. If the King of the French could seize every printing Press within Iris dominions, and Persil could apply the torch and consume them in one great bonfire, the voice of public opinion would still make itself heard, and startle the Minister-Monarch, sur rounded with a triple row of guards and parasites in his council chamber. Let him then take the Charter for his guide. Let him select wise and just men as Ministers, but cease to be a Minister himself, and he will never again be alarmed at the doctrine of kingly responsibility.—Herald. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAIN. 11. THE KING V. CHARLES CARUS WILSON. Mr. R. V. RICHARDS moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be granted against the defendant, at the instance of Mr. Sneyd, a magistrate of the county of Stafford, and of the division within which the town of Leek was situated. The defendant had been guilty of publishing two libels, grossly reflecting on the con duct and character of Mr. Sneyd as a magistrate..—Rule granted. THE KING V. THE STAFFORDSHIRE JUSTICES. Lord DENMAN delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. This was a question upon a return to a man damus directed to the Justices of Staffordshire, commanding ' them to allow certain persons, rate-payers of the county, to inspect rates allowed and passed at the sessions, and which were now, with the vouchers, deposited with the Clerk of the Peace for the county. The return set forth several objections as to the -right of the applicants to have the in spection of these books. The Court, on the whole, decided that the return was sufficient.—Rule for a peremptory man damus discharged. SHAW V. ROBERTS. Lord DENMAN also delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. This was an action on a policy of insurance against fire. The policy was effected on a malt-kiln. It appeared at the trial that the plaintiff had consented to re ceive on a particular occasion a quantity of bark from a boat which had been accidentally sunk in the river, and to dry it in the kiln. The bark had caught fire, and the loss oc curred. This change of employment of the kiln was stated to be a violation of the policy. The Jury returned a ver dict stating that the drying of bark was more hazardous than the drying of malt, and it was contended that the plaintiff was, consequently, not entitled to recover. Th e Court, however, thought that this momentary varying of the general employment of the kiln, in order to perform an act of kindness, which was done bona fide, was not such a change as required to be notified to the insurers, and that an accident happening therefrom would not vitiate the po licy. The rule for entering a verdict for the plaintiff must, therefore, be made absolute. COURT OF COIII,IION PLEAS, JAY. 11. This being the first day of Term, the Judges as usual proceeded in state to Westminster Hall. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY V. TUBB. Sergeant WILDE stated that this was an action, brought by the creditors of an intestate against the surety in an ad ministration-bond for not having exhibited an inventory. Oyer and a copy of the bond had been demanded by the defendant, and a summons subsequently taken out to stay proceedings until the demand of oyer had been complied with. The Learned Sergeant, feeling some difficulty as to the mode of shaping the present motion, it was postponed, at the suggestion of the Court, until to-morrow. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 11. The Barons of this Court (with the exception of Mr. Baron Alderson, who will be engaged in chambers this term) took their seats upon the bench shortly after one o'clock. The Court was then opened in the usual form, and some cases of justification of bail taken. Mr. CURWOOD moved for judgment against the casual ejector. The service was not the same as usual, being upon the secretary of a canal company under an Act of Parliament.—Motion granted. ARCHES' COURT, Jam. 11. WRIGIIT V. ELWOOD. The suit for nullity of marriage, by reason of a former marriage, is promoted by Mr. James Dennis Wright against Amelia, otherwise Emily, Elwood, calling herself Wright. The libel on behalf of Mr. Wright was now of fered for admission, in which it is pleaded that the afore said lady was married to Mr. Elwood in 1821 ; that the ceremony was solemnized in Ireland by a Clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland ; that it was entered in the registry of the parish, which is, however, now in a mutilated state, and the leaf containing the ac count of the marriage entirely torn out ; that the parties cohabited till 1823, when Mrs. Elwood separated from her husband, and became acquainted with Mr. Wright, to whom she asserted that she was a spinster and minor, and that before their marriage could be effected they must gain the consent of her guardians ; that they therefore agreed that banns should be published, and that she should adopt the name of Emma ; and that they were thus married, her former husband still living. The suit is now brought to render that marriage null and void. The Learned JUDGE, as the case was of importance to the public, as to the construction of the Marriage Law, should refer back the allegation for full proof of all facts pleaded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Some days ago a man, named Anderson, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having stolen a fowl in Leadenhall-market. Th man admitted that he had committed the robbery, but drew such a picture of misery in palliation of the offence, and produced his wife and four children in corroboration of it with such effect, that Mr. Gill, the person plundered, at once gave up all idea of prosecuting, and some of the bystanders con. tributed to the relief of the family upon the spot. The Lord Mayor wrote upon the occasion to Mr. Gregory, the treasurer of the parish of Christchurch, Spitalfields, in which the prisoner resided, on the subject of giving employment to the unfortunate man, who had assured his Lordship that he had repeatedly applied to the parish authorities for relief or work, but without effect. It was with some degree of surprise that his Lordship received information from Mr. Gregory, that Anderson had grossly misrepresented the facts as to the application, and he directed that the parties should attend at the Justice-room on Tuesday. Mr. Brusbfield, one of the churchwardens, accompanied by Mr. Gregory, accordingly attended, as did Anderson and his wife and children. _ Mr. Brushfield stated that Anderson had never applied to the parish officers at all, and that his wife had never ap plied but once, and that was at the house of one of the over seers who was out of town. So far were the parish officers culpable. He complained of the principle acted upon as most dangerous, for if a man stole a fowl and was not only forgiven but rewarded for it, merely upon his own state ment, be might next steal a goose, or something of more value ; and it was singular that on the very day the circum stance occurred at the Mansion-h ouse , a case somew h a t si milar, and distinguished by a similar principle occurred at Lambeth-street police-office. The LORD MAYOR said it was true that there were per sons occasionally present who felt for the distresses of others ; and it was true that he did not attempt to check the disposition to relieve them, inasmuch as he considered that to encourage the tendency to the principle was one of the highest glories of the human character. He, however, might have been told an exaggerated story. There might have been misrepresentation , but that there was distress he had not the most remote doubt. He felt, too, when Mr. Gill revolted from the idea of prosecuting, that he was not imperatively called upin to commit the accused to Newgate for trial. The LORD MAYOR (to Anderson)—You told me when you was brought before me, that you bad frequently applied to the parish for relief, is that the case ? Anderson—lt is not, my Lord • I never applied. The LORD iIAYOR—Why did you tell me a falsehood on the occasion ? Anderson—l was so flurried, I did not well know what I said. Mr. Williamson, a retired pawnbroker, who had kept a shop in the neighbourhood, had been a great friend to An derson, who was clever at his business as a fishmonger, and might have supported his family well, but had acted in such a manner as drove away all his friends. The wife was cer tainly an industrious woman. Mr. Brushfield did not attend to show that the people were not in poverty, but to show that he and the other officers of the parish were not aware :of the situation of the family, and that the accusation against the parish was totally false. The LORD M AYOR --Y OU h ave done quite right, and I am delighted to find th a t you t a ke such pains to inquire into the condition of your poor. Here the matter dropped. MANCHESTER, JAN. B.—Cotton spinning here is exceedingly brisk ; the demand for exportation, considering the season of the year, bei ng qu it e unprecedented, and at fair remunerating prices. REGIUS PROFESSORSHIP OF DIVINITY. LEGAL OPINIONS On the Statute passed May sth, 1816, in the Convocation at Oxford, having for its object to de prive the Regius Professor of Divinity, during the pleasure of the University, of the right of sitting at the Board of Inquiry into Heretical Doctrine, and at the Board for the Nomination of Select Preachers. THE FIRST CASE. OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND DR. LUSHINGTON. QUERY.-1. Do the King's Letters Patent, authorising the adoption of the Caroline Code of Statutes, amount in law to a Charter, and is the acceptance by the University of such a nature as to bind them to the strict observance of the whole Code ? OPINION..--1. We are of opinion that the King's Letters Patent, authorising the adoption of the Caroline Code of Sta tutes, are, in legal contemplation, a Charter, and that the University of Oxford accepted the same. There being no thing in those Statutes to show that the University should have an option to accept in part, and reject in part, we think the whole body of Statutes was accepted, and consequently that they are binding on the University. Qv.-2. Can any usage subsequent to 1759 (the date of Mr. Morton's and Mr. Wilbraham's opinion), if such usage exist, control the effect of the Statutes ? OP.-2. We are of opinion that no usage subsequent to 1759, can control the effect of the Statutes. Qv.-3. What power, if any, does the University possess of abrogating or altering the Caroline Statutes, or any other existing Statutes which may have passed prior thereto? OP.-3. We think that the University possess such power of abrogating and altering the Statutes as is conferred by the Statutes themselves, anefurther, such power of making or al tering Statutes as existed by usage prior to 1636, and is not inconsistent with or contrary to the Caroline Statutes ? Qv.-4. Are you of opinion that the proposed Statute hereto annexed can be lawfully passed by the Convocation ? OP.--.4. As a material part ofthe proposed Statute appears to us to be inconsistent with the Caroline Statutes, we are of opi nion that it cannot legally be passed by the Convocation, with out the consent of the Crown. (Signed) J. CAMPBELL. Temple, April 30, 1836. J. LUSHINGTON. THE SECOND CASE. OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, DR. LUSHINGTON, AND MR. HULL. QUERY.-1. Had the University, in 1636, power to accept a Charter from the King which should bind their successors. such Charter abridging the powers confirmed to the Univer. sity by the Act of Parliament of the 13th of Elizabeth ; and so, are not the words " Statuta Regis auctoritate sancita vei confirmata," p. 119, to be understood of particular Statutes alone paso.ed in 1634, and included in the words " Statute jam condita ?" OPINION.—It is obvious, from the opinions of Mr. Justice Blackstone, and Messrs. Morton and Wilbraham, that doubts have heretofore existed as to the extent of the power of the University in repealing the old, and making new Statutes. If the University possessed an unlimited power of repealing old and making new Statutes prior to 1636, and that power is not modified by the Statutes of 1636, it can exist only by force of the Act of Parliament of 13th Elizabeth, for no less authority can prevent the doctrine established in the case of the " King and 'Westwood," attaching on this case. There is no proof, to our knowledge, that any such unli mited power ever existed, and certainly in 1636 none such was supposed to exist. We think, therefore, that the answer to the 3d Query of the former Case is well founded. We think the Laudian Code is binding on the University as a Charter accepted by it. In that Code we find no general repealing power. The accustomed power of making new Statutes is reserved, but under certain restrictions. Nothing done by the authority of the Crown could (as is most. clear) have the effect of repealing an Act of Parliament ; but we do not conceive that the Act of Elizabeth bound the University from accepting a new Charter from the Crown. The intention of that Act was to make the Charter therefore given " good, effectual, and available in law ;" and, in our judgment, as Charters, and nothing more, curing all legal de fects which may have existed in them, and preventing any pos sible bygone forfeiture from attaching, but not to alter the nature of the Charter, and to make it and every part of it for ever binding. A parliamentary confirmation of this kind does not, in our judgment, tie up the Crown and the University, the one from the granting, and the other from accepting a new Charter. 1. We are disposed to think that it was competent to the University to accept a new Charter from the Crown, though in some respects it might abridge the powers enjoyed prior to the Statute of Elizabeth. But even if this were otherwise, it would be necessary for them who con tend that a power con trary to the Charter existed prior to the Statute of Elizabeth, to show it. Some obscurity rests upon these words, " Statuta regia auctoritate sancita vel confirmata," as used in the Statute Book, tit. x. sec. 2. par. 2. p. 119, but we are of opinion that these words are not to be confined to particular Statutes passed in 1634, comprehended under the terms " Statuta jam condita," but that they do extend to all Statutes to be made after that period by the authority of the Crown. Qv.-2. Is the University bound by the legal construction of the passage, such construction being assumed not, to have been contemplated by those who framed or confirmed the Statutes ? OP.-2. We apprehend that the University must be go verned by the legal construction. QY.-3. Is the whole Statute, or any part of it, for any and what reasons illegal, or void ; or in any and what way voidable ? OP.-3. We think that the Statute of 1836 is illegal as violating the restrictions imposed by the Laudian Code, and as passed by the assumption and exercise of a power which has not been conceded to the University. QY.-4. Must it be put in operation before any proceedings are had to declare it void, or quash it ; or can any, and what pro ceedings, be now instituted for that purpose ? Or.--4. We think the Statute must be put into operation before any proceeding could be taken by Action in any Court of Common Law. Qv.---5. What proceedings, and before what Tribunal, are open to the Regius Professor, or to any other and what person, for the purpose of declaring void or quashing this Statute ; and what proceedings for that purpose, by what person in what cha racter, do you recommend on behalf of the Regius Professor of Divinity ? OP.-5. We think the Regius Professor, or any Member of the University, may present an Appeal against the Statute to the Visitor. Qv.-6. Is there a Visitor of the University of Oxford? In whom is the power of visiting vested, and what is the mode or process by which Dr. Hampden can bring before the Visitor the question of the legality or illegality of the Statute against him ? OP.-6. We are of opinion that there is a Visitor of the University of Oxford, and that the power of visiting that University is in the Crown, and that a petition in the usual form will bring before his Majesty the legality or illegality of the late Statute, and other proceedings against Dr. Hampden. (Signed) J. CAMPBELL. STEPHEN LUSHINGTON. WILLIAM WINSTANLEY HULL. Temple, Dec. 17, 1836. If these opinions be well founded, and there is every rea son to think they are, from the high professional character of the Counsel by whom they are given, it is plain that the University has now no Statutable Board of Heresy ; that their Select Preachers are not, and cannot be, properly ap pointed ; that there is danger to the Preachers nominated in last November, and any others who shall hereafter be nominated in the same manner, if they should occupy the pulpit in consequence of such appointment, of being con sidered intrusive and schismatical ; and that the University Funds cannot be lawfully applied for their remuneration. These are some particular effects that ensue from the pass ing of the Statute to which the Opinion of Counsel refers. Every one must see also, from the same Opinion, the risk which the University has incurred of a forfeiture of its Charter. STEAM NAVIGATION IN TURKEY CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 14.—The Austrian Steam Na vigation Company is, I understand, expecting from England an additional steamer, the Prince Metternich, which is to be employed in performing regular voyages between Con stantinople and Trebisond. The success steam navigation has met with in Turkey has been such as to convince the directors of the company of the advantages to be relied upon from connecting with the already established line of commu nication between Vienna and Smyrna a port which, in the space of a few years, owing to the increase of the export and import trade with Persia and Asia-Minor, has become one of the principal scalas in the Levant. On the introduction of steam-vessels into this country by European speculators, the satellites of Russia, faithfill observers of Count Nessel rode's comprehensive instruction—" prevent good, promote evil "—called into play every means the genius of intrigue suggested, in order to thwart an undertaking so eminently calculated to prove beneficial to Turkey. For a while they turned the cupidity, the prejudices, the credulity of several among the Turkish Ministers into instruments, which so admirably served their purpose, that most of the individuals who had engaged in the enterprise had made up their minds to renounce it. The Reis Effendi sought to impose a tax on their steam-vessels, to subject them to the right of search, and his proposals, little to Baron Sturmas credit be it said, met with Austria's representative's ready assent. Lord Pon sonby's notions of the dignity of the British nation being widely different from those entertained by the internuncio with regard to his own, the Turkish Ministry was peremp torily told that England could never consent that vessels under her flag should be subjected to insults so outrageous. The consequence of this spirited remonstrance was the re nunciation of their illegal claims on the part of the Turkish Minister, and the deliverance of the Austrian flag from the humiliating yoke under which it had been placed. The Reis Effendi and the Capitan Pasha attempted for some time to prevent Turkish subjects from taking passage on board European steamers, but experience had so clearly demon strated the immense advantages of this mode of convey ance, both to the Government and to the public, that the Divan refused to consent to so illiberal and injurious a measure being carried into execution. How very far he has been from partaking in the narrow-minded views of his two Ministers the Buhr has lately fully proved, by engaging an English 'and Austrian steamer during lus trip to Nicomedia, as well as by the marks of liberality and kindness he bestowed on the officers and crews of those ves sels, and the assurances of protection he was pleased to offer them. The only grievances the vessels belonging to the Austrian Company have yet to complain of proceed, strange to say, from the very quarter they naturally looked up to for protection and encouragement—the Austrian Consuls. This appears the more extraordinpy when it is considered that the Danubian Steam Company has been founded under the auspices of the Emperor him self, and that the first dignitaries of the empire and the most influential men in Austria and Hungary are members of it. It would seem, therefore, that the evil has continued to exist, because it has not hitherto been pointed out in the quarters from which alone the re medy can come. This desirable end may at once be se cured by placing these functionaries on their proper level. Consuls are simply agents appointed for the protection of commerce in foreign countries. Those of Austria, for the most part, are men who appear equally ignorant as to the nature of their real duties, and the importance of commerce to the Government of which they are the servants. Pro fessing the uttermost contempt towards the class of men engaged in commercial pursuits, they shun their society, and when placed in contact with any of its members, as sume towards him the consequential airs of a Spartan to an Helot. Their vain but unceasing aspirations to main tain the false position in which vanity has placed them, the arbitrary acts and vexatious measures resorted to by these petty despots, have contributed to render them throughout the Levant objects of universal derision and of dislike in the eyes of those unfortunately placed under their jurisdiction. It is to the illiberality of these officers that Austria is chiefly to attribute the languishing state of her commercial industry in the East. A few facts will enable you to judge of the degree of arrogance and tendency to arbitrary sway characteristic of these protectors of commerce. An English gentleman, on his arrival at Galatz on board the Pannonia, had taken his passage for Constantinople in the Ferdinand, which was to start on the following day, according to the statement made by the director of the Steam Company to the Austrian Consul in that port. To the great surprise of the captain, the Con sul sent him directions in the evening on no account to leave Galatz on the following day. The latter having ob served to the bearer of this mandate, that being bound by the regulations of the company he would leave on the day and at the hour appointed, he was told that his Excellency the Consul would in that case refuse delivering his pass port. " Then," replied the Captain dryly , an Eglishman, " I must do without it." At 9in the evening the Consul, apparently having come to his senses, sent the papers on board. One of the company, curious to ascertain the cause of so strange a proceeding, was told by the bearer that all he could say was, that his master happened to be on that evening very much out of temper. A few weeks ago Hussein Bey, the Governor of Smyrna, having been informed that the inhabitants of the town had resolved on sending a deputation to Constantinople in order to lodge a complaint against him, sent an officer on board the Maria Dorothea a few moments before the hour fixed for its departure, to ascertain whether the persons he sus pected were among the passengers, and in that case to take them into custody. The captain refused to admit him on board, representing to the officer, that his de mand being in direct violation of the laws of na tions, he could comply with it only in case the Austrian Consul authorized him to do so. A few moments after the Turkish officer returned, accompanied by the Consul's Cancelliere, and after examining the passengers on board at full length, returned on shore. In the capital, in presence of the highest authorities in the empire, the re presentatives of England and Austria have successfully op posed themselves to the rights of search claimed by the Turkish Ministry. At Smyrna, a Consul not only tolerates this abuse of power, and allows a precedent to be established, but sanctions it ; and when appealed to, to protect the flag of the Government he represents against an insult offered, lends his assistance to the offenders of its dignity. Without entering further into details, 1 shall observe, that the advantages arising from the popularity enjoyed in Turkey by the vessels belonging to the Austrian Steam Navigation Company have incessantly been counterbalanced by the system of arbitrary interference on the part of the Imperial Consuls. What tends to aggravate the odium of their conduct, and ought to call yet more loudly for inter ference on the part of the Austrian Government is, that the English steamers, with which the'Austrian steamers are in concurrence, are placed on a very different footing with re gard to their protecting authorities. The English Consuls in no sort of way interfere with their administration, aware that their duty consists alone in affording protection to Bri tish vessels, when so required, against the abuse of power on the part of the local authorities. It seems quite natural that the Austrian Steam Navigation Company should, as I understand its intention at present to be, allow the steamers it has ordered in England to retain, on their arrival in the Levant, the British flag. It would meet with no difficulties in carrying this measure into effect, several of its share holders being Englishmen of distinction. The Ilam of the Sheik Islam informed, on Friday night, the Mussulmans of Stamboul, that the moon of Rhamadan having appeared, every true believer was to begin the holy fast. The minds of the Turks are, during the whole period of this fast, so completely engaged in heavenly considera tions, and their time so much taken up in the performance of the prescribed religious practices, that worldly affairs, unless of the utmost urgency, are laid aside till after the Bairam. Everyth in g has, in c onsequence , been left so com pletely that I have this w ee k no p o liti ca l in telligence to commun i cate . Th e S u lt an , his s tr Ot y fa , la a un n y d the whole Turkish population, spend the night in feasting, the forenoon in sleeping, and the afternoon in lounging. The only intelligence to us, at least, of im portance, is, that the plague is decidedly on the decline. Should the winds, which for the last ten days have blown from the west, continue for some time yet in the 'same di rection, the total cessation of this epidemy may safely be relied upon. Should easterly winds, however, set in, expe rience teaches us that the increase of its ravages is inevitable. M. Boutenieff presented on the 7th inst. to the Sultan an autograph letter from the Emperor, in answer to the letter of congratulation Mahmoud had addressed him, on receiving intelligence of the narrow escape he had met with. Lord Ponsonby, it is generally reported, will return to England in January. Mr. Urquhart, who, it is supposed, will remain here as Charge d'Affaires, has been directed to fit up a house at Cooroo Chermah, which, in future, will serve for the accommodation of the British Embassy. The Virem has not as yet been heard of. INTRIGUES OF RUSSIA. (From another letter of the same date.) A traveller lately arrived from Trebisond informs me that a few days previous to his departure, a firman was read in the mosques and other places of public worship in the town, informing the inhabitants and all whom it might concern that the Emperor of all the Russias, ever solicitous for the welfare of his subjects, had had his paternal feelings repeatedly most cruelly hurt, upon hearing that since the period Circas sia has had the honour of being called one of his provinces, mindless of the sanitary cordons and cruisers sent I o blockade their country, and protect its natives from the inroads of the plague, they persisted in their fatal obstinacy to keep up an intercourse with that nursery of pestilence, Turkey, and thereby seriously compromised their own healths, as well as that of their more dutiful brethren the Muscovites ; seeing his august mind plunged in deep affliction and melancholy, his Ministers had suggested the propriety of representing to his good friend, Sultan Mahmoud, how very distressing his case was, and invite him, for the sake of the favourable stipulations of the treaty of Hunkiar Skelessi, to concur with him in curbing the insubordinate spirit of his Circas sian subjects. This desirable object might materially be faci litated by his forbidding all commercial relations between them and the Mussulman populations living along the southern coasts of the Black Sea. Unable to resist the warm entreaties of his afflicted friend, the Padishah, in whose heart mercy holds her seat, had agreed to comply with his solicitations, and in consequence had manifested the will that his subjects shall hold no intercourse with Cir cassia, until the sentence of excommunication which the waywardness and insolence of its inhabitants has obliged the Emperor to pronounce against them, shall have been revoked. Aware that, besides other articles, necessaries of life, salt is nowhere to be found in Circassia, and that unless drawn from Turkey its inhabitants must endure the most cruel privations, the Emperor, anxious that measures adopted for the sake of keeping them in good health should not cause them to be starved, has graciously been pleased to allow two ports to remain open to foreign vessels, for the exchange of commodities, after submittinc, them to a ra tional purgation during fort y da y s. One of these ports, Anapa, presents to the natives, b esides the attraction of 8,000 Rus sian bayonets, the remarkable advantage of being only three hundred miles distant from the centre of the country, and the other, Redout Kaleh, that of being still further off. To both of these unfrequented ports, Russia has most liberally granted free access to foreign vessels. Not withstanding the respect paid to Imperial firmans the Imaum was while reading it more than once interrupted by peals of laughter from the congregation, who looked upon it in the light of a good hoax. Whatever Russia's anticipations from it may be, it appears certain that this Imperial mandate will remain, like the generality of its predecessors, a dead letter. It is not with similar means that men engaged in a traffic where salt, gunpowder, arms, and clothing on the one side, and lovely women on the other, are the articles of exchange, can be pre vailed upon to abandon their avocations. The intelli gence of an English vessel's departure for one of the in terdicted ports of Circassia, which arrived at Tresibond at the same time as this firman, proved a coincidence which powerfully aroused the feelings of the people, and converted into enthusiasm the popularity which Eng land, as rival of Russia, enjoys in that portion of the Sul tan's dominions contiguous to the Muscovite borders Will our Administration be capable of turning this di position in our favour to England's account ? SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STEEPLE CHASE. A steeple chase was run yesterday, near Hayes, about two o'clock, for a Gold Cup, by a subscription of 10 sous. each (8 subs. ), by the following horses : Mr. Bryan's The Flyer ( Captain Becher) 1 Mr. Weston's Jerry (Owner) 2 Mr. J. Mason's The Mite (Owner) . Captain Willan's Redman (Mr. Powell) Mr. Anderson's Edwin (Mr. Rice) Mr. Bryan's Red Deer ( Owner) Mr. Hall's Conrad (Owner) Mr. Elmore's Lottery (Mr. Seifert) 8 The line of country was admirably selected for the specta tors, the first mile and a half being on a descent, and the con cluding mile over a gently rising ground. The distance, barely three miles, commenced in a field at King's End, about a mile from Ickenham, traversed nearly all grass land, with light flying fences, and finished in Mr. Shackel's, Pole-hill field, about a mile from Hayes. The line was intersected by a lane about three part of a mile from the start, and midway by a brook, and a " feeder" to the canal, over both of which we believe there were bridges at convenient spots. At start ing, Conrad, The Mite, and Edwin, laid in front, the other five keeping in reserve to the lane, where divers mishaps oc curred. The Mite blundered at the fence out of it, and Con rad, who had been running immediately in his track, not having time to extricate himself, jumped against him, and lodged Mason in a bramble, which kept him in a very close and un comfortable embrace for some seconds. The fall of these two forced Jerry and Redman more to the right, the former's bridle becoming entangled in a stake in the same fence, and consi derably retarding him. Redman was checked at die same spot, Mr. Powell getting into action again with the loss of his cap. The stopping of this " moiety" of the field enabled The Flyer to take a decided lead, which he maintained to the end, and won very easy by several lengths. Several changes oc curred amongst the others. Red Deer and Lottery laid next The Flyer from the lane, Redman, The Mite, and Jerry gain ing on them so rapidly that they were in the last field but one at the same time. Lottery took the last fence next to The Flyer, but fell, his place being immediately taken by Jerry, who proved himself a game and speedy horse by the manner in which he made up his lost ground. The same may be said of ' The Mite and Redman, who were well up with him. We have stated above how the horses came in, but it should be ' added that, after the last jump, most o f th e riders stopt them ' on finding their chances gone. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

D'ISRAELI's " HENRIETTA TEMPLE."— One of the causes of the extraordinary success of this new novel, is the multitude of curious characters introduced to the reader, most of whom, if we mistake not, are drawn - from real life. Independently, however, of this attraction, the work has many merits. Most of the conversational scenes are rich and racy ; high life, with its faults and merits, is skilfully delineated ; and there are some eloquent and poetical bursts of feeling and sentiment. Saturday is considered among modern Egyptians as so unfortunate a day, that it is considered wrong to com mence a journey, or even to shave or cut the nails, on it. DREADFUL MURDER.—A private in a regiment of Hussars, stationed at Versailles, was walking near the Swiss Waters, when he was seized by two persons and thrown into the stream. He managed to scramble out, but was again precipitated into the water by the two indivi duals. He kept himself up, and after they bad fled, got to land in an exhausted state. The Hussar had not the least knowledge of the men who had attempted his life. The next day he received an invitation to breakfast with two inhabitants of the city, which he accepted, telling a comrade to finish his work for him and then to join him. The latter went to the place where he expected to find his friend, but was told that the Hussar had not been there. The man who gave the invitation, who is a brewer in Ver sailles, and his friend, who keeps a pork-shop, were imme diately arrested, but the evidence not being sufficient, they were released. It was affirmed, that one ground of suspi cion against the brewer was that the Hussar was attached to his daughter against the father's will. One day last week the body of the soldier was found at Port Manly, tied up in a sack, and completely cut to pieces, so as to exclude all suspicion of death from suicide. The most active in quiries are now making to discover the perpetrators of this horrible crime. An intended strike of the coal-miners has been ami cably sett l e d. Th e c oal proprietors having r ecen tly ra i se d the p r i ce o f coa l, the workmen conceived they were en titl e d to a sma ll a d vance in their wages out of the extra profits received by their employers, and gave notice to that effect. The consequence has been an advance of the wages of this deser v i ng class o f operatives, in the vicinity of Oldham. The rise will be from 4s. to ss. per week to good workmen, whe n fully employed.
