Orders received by all News-agents, and at lie Sun Office, 112, Strand. eirtnill,ll LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1846. Dr. PUSEY, who has raised such a commotion in the English Church, and given his name to a new Protes tant sect professing Roman Catholic doctrines, made his first exhibition on Sunday as a preacher, since his sus pension in 1843, before the University of Oxford. Many of the young clergymen whom he had led astray during the period intervening between his suspension and the present time have acted an honest part, carried out their convictions like upright men, and openly enlisted them selves under the banners of Rome. They are still going over to the Catholic Church in considerable numbers, and if any doubt could exist as to the tenets, and doc trines, and conversion of PusEY himself, the secession of his disciples puts it entirely at an end. But strange to say, the original offender, the cause of all this lament able backsliding from the Protestant faith, the enemy of the Established Church and the Ref, rmation, not only still remains in the University to pollute the sources of mental instruction, but is allowed to display in all their naked deformity some of the most obnoxious and mischievous pretensions of the Church of Rome in her worst days. In his sermon on Sunday, so far from manifesting repentance or any contrition for acts which the University in its mildness only considered deserving of suspension, he boldly appealed again to the authority of the Fethers of the Church, and seemed anxious to place their authority above that of the sacred Scriptures. St. PAUL, and St. JAMES, and St. JOHN are only second or third rate personages—the great favourites, the guides of truth, and the pillars of the Church, are St. TATIAN, St. CYRIL, St. IGNATIUS, St. CURYSOSTOM, St. Au- GIISTINE, and perhaps, also, another St. IGNATIUS, sur named LOYOLA. These are the men to whom this Canon of Christchurch looks up to as ex amples, and holds forth as models and instructors to the clergy of a Protestant church. It is curious tco on referring to his sermon which we have merely' given an outline), to find that the main doctrines on which it comments are of the most dangerous tendency in regard to morality, and are calcu lated solely for the advancement and establishment of clerical power. The Church in the dark ages strove above all things to put the laity under its feet. It claimed power from on high ; it represented the Porn and Cardinals, and archbishops, and bishops throughout the rest of Europe, as the legitimate suc cessors of the Apostles, and assert( d f.r them all those miraculous and undefined powers which were con ferred on his immediate followers by the Founder of the Christian religion. The right of giving or with holding absolution is one of the most powerful handles to accomplish despotism ever invented. It makes the rich give up their treasures, and renders the poor slaves; it makes the crown yield to the mitre, terrifies the timid, and subdues the hau,t,hty and powerful ; it makes all except one class dependents and serfs, and raises that class to the ragions of divinity. This, as might have been expected, therefore, is a favourite topic with the Pusey itcs, and on Sunday their pastor carried out its principles to their full extent. This is w hat he calls the doctrine of the keys—a doctrine by which the i.escendant of the Apostles has thepower not to loose only but to bind; not to remitonly,butto retain sin; and he thus traces this power to its source and maintains the right of the Church to it in the present day Now, the commission upon which the authority of the Church rested, as it had ever been understood by the Church itself; was given in part in different words, at three different times ; before the resurrection first, to St. PETER as the type of unity, then to all the Apostles (both these being in promise), and then to all, in fulfil ment, in the text. The greatness of the power thus entrusted to man might well exceed our belief, and make us tremble to execute it, and almost doubt, as men had doubted, whether we had it. But our LORD premised his commission with these few brief words, conveying at once its extent, and the rule and guidance of it As my Father hath sent m e even so send I you. And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith, Receive ye the Holy Ghost ;' to show that he who created man in His own image, breathing into his nostrils the breath of life,' was now about to recreate him in a more perfect and divine way by union with himself. And then 'e said, Whosesoever sins ye re mit, they are remitted unto them ; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.' Understanding the words in their plain meaning, of a power lodged in the Church to forgive sins in Ills name, the very words ex pressed the fulness of the pardon ; the same word was used by which He himself forgave." And then he ex presses his great regret that the Church has not re tained this power to its full extent, and seems to rejoice that the Protestant Church has in so many instances departed frOm the principles of its great prototype, solely because the ine vi t able evils thus caused will more speedily bring her back to the right faith. "We might even be thankful," he adds, " that the yet remaining rules, requiring all her mem bers to partake of her ordinances, had passed into disuse ; to encourage indiscriminately the approach to the holy communion, without a corresponding inward system, whereby they who were entitled so to do should know intimately the hearts of those whom they so encouraged, had brought us to an amount of carelessness and profanation which, if known, would make many a heart of those who had so done to sink and quake. It was of Gop's manifold mercy to this portion of His church, that He had at the same time by His provi dence allowed almost all remains of that outward compul sory system to be broken down, and by His spirit within had aroused people's consciences to desire the full conditions laid up for the church." These are sufficient specimens of Dr. PusEY's fixed sentiments, and it is needless to add ono word of condemnation. The only question is, will the University still retain as one of its canons an avowed professor of the most dangerous Roman Catholic doctrines, and suffer the Protestant Church to be de stroyed by enemies within its own bosom? Tamworth—that is to say the monopolist farming in terest of Tamworth—is resolved, apparently, not to allow Sir ROBERT an opportunity of acting, in his Minis terial capacity, with that independence which he him self claimed as tho noblest prerogative of a statesman. scale eo c f cannot be accomplished on a gigantic scale—a What demonstration proportioned to the vastness of the proposed policy —they are now endeavouring to achieve through the most petty and presumptous interference. No unnecessary ti me i s frittered away by these gentle. men in a calm, and honest, and dispassionate th examina ! and e t l h a e n i d r tion of the Premier's arguments; for sooth! and their cash accounts, forli?inions, market plans, forsooth! are not to be . disarranged, thwarted, and broken in upon, for the sakem that trumpery thing called commercial justice. A re tu y rn of turn spit had been amply sufficient for the exigencies of their forefathers, and, notwithstanding the shortness of its wind, having so far competed with the short ness of its legs, as to interrupt the regularity of its movements, the old animal was satisfactory to themselves. True enough, the number of mouths which it was necessary to s u pp l y with provisions had become absolutely doubled, and consequently more facilities in obtaining sustenance had become requisite,:—Up with the turnspit of protection ! and down with the bottle jack of free trade ! This . is precisely the be- f . 4 A A * • ..r y 4yeet E SUN, I,ONTDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1846. haviour of those dogged sticklers for the exist ing corn-laws, who are now attempting to do minate the country for a party purpose ; they resolutely shut their eyes against the day-dawn of ex perience, they forcibly close their ears to the trumpet voice of reason, and are for blundering on in their old, blind way. And, although the only feasible assistance which could be afforded to a cause sa untenable as that of protection would be something specious in the rhe toric of its advocates, their orations are mainly com posed of personal recriminations and utterly useless re solutions. Nevertheless, what they lack in ability they realise in determination and assiduity. Their philosophy is peripatetic and practical as far as language is con cerned ; but we railer conjecture they will find them selves in the predicament of the gentleman mentioned in the nursery puzzle—who "walked and talked, and half an-hour after his head was cut off !" We have already observed that these agriculturists perceive the impossibility of retarding a reform in commerce by any generalised effort on their part, and hence they resort to the final and Quixotic attempt of trivial measures— they determine, if possible, to destroy the present Ministry by turning the Premier out of his borough; to oust the First Lord of the Treasury from office by depriving him of his scat as a private Member of Parlia ment. This is indeed a dashing manoeuvre on the part of the Warwickshire and Staffordshire agriculturists ; and, inasmuch as it was developed in the meeting held in the Town hall of Tamworth on Saturday, that meeting has a glimmer of importance. A fortnight since at a similar assemblage the fusee was ignited—it has now burnt down to the end and the bomb has exploded. The lan guage of the explosion is, " that Sir ROBERT PEEL do render back to the electors of Tamworth the trust com mitted to him." That language is to be conveyed as a requisition to the Prime Minister, backed with the sig natures of many among his constituents : and this is an epitome of the recent disturbance at Tamw•orth. Mr. HENRY JOHN PIE, whose enthusiasm for a continuance of the present system we had occasion to mention some few days since, presided on Saturday as chairman; and assuredly his style of discussion is immense for its audacity, however Lilliputian it may be for its correct ness. When, for instance, he declared that " the Mi nister had, by his own admission, been stumbling on in error for the last thirty years," he was either actuated by an erroneous impression, or was testing the credulity of his auditors ; for, as we have formerly insisted, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S political career has been a career of progression—and a progres sion most palpably graluated ; his conversion to the great principle of unrestricted commerce has been cautious, slow, and clearly traceable ; and hence the assumption of Mr. PIE holds for absolutely nothing. Neither do we perceive the force of his reasoning, when he maintains that the proposed reformation in trade should have been advanced by the League orators, and least of all by the present Minister. Without reference to any other consideration, it was the most advisable, the most manly, and the most conciliating plan that Sir ROBERT PEEL, himself should advance the doctrines of free trade in the House of Common:, and propose their general adoption. As to Mr. PIE'S corollary to this observation—" P'elmam qui nzeruit ferat"—such will he actually and inevitably the case according to the present arrangement. Mr. COBDEN and his colleagues will receive their just guerdon of applause, as among the origloators and faithful upholders of tha prodigious agitation which is now reaching its ultimatum of success. Lord Joule RUSSELL will obtain the pro found approbation of his countrymen for being the first statesman who stood forward upon this great question and acknowledged himself to have been in error ; and Sir ROBERT PEEL will have the praise of posterity for an act of Ministerial greatness and political magnanimity which is without one single parallel in the records of a constitutional monarchy. The people will find that they have acted as an enlightened nation should, under cir cumstances of a like nature, namely, peaceably but with determination ; while the SOVEREIGN will feel an ineffable satisfaction in the happiness diffused among her subjeets, as well as in the glorious end bloodless victory which will illustrate her reign. Animated with these considerations, the Premier can treat the squab bles of his constituency with a placid and dignified self possession, seeing in them only the appeals of Mammon and Monopoly. Madrid journals of the 24th and 25th ult. have been received. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 24th, Senor SALAMANCA made a long speech in his defence against certain allusions of the Minister of the Interior, which he considered were directed against himself. lle denied that he had made his fortune during the civil war, for he had acquired the greater part of it in Eng land, by his industry and integrity. He had likewise had dealings with the Spanish Government, which had been equally advantageous to the Treasury and to himself, and he had powerfully contributed to raise the national credit. At the same time he utterly disapproved of the present financial system, and especially the connexion of the Government with the Bank of San Fernando. Senor MON defended his financial policy, but we find nothing new in his speech. The marriage of the QUEEN with Count TRA PANI iS Still a principal topic of convmation. The majority of Members who signed the paper binding themselves to insist upon a more decided explanation from the Mi nisters: remain firm in their resolution. General NAUVAEZ, on the other hand, is equally peremptory in refusing to give any public assurance, on the pretence that the demand is unconstitutional, and would be opening thedoor to revolutionary exigencies ; whilst it is said that two or three of his colleagues are anxious that some sa tisfaction should be given, so aa to tranquillise the country. It was currently reported that there would be a partial change in the Cabinet in consequence ; but up to the last nothing has transpired. The Espanol, in adverting to the Count TRAPANI, says We want no more Neapolitans, no more ava ricious princes, no more members of a family wh )se cold egotism forms such a contrast with the generosity and nobleness of the national character, whose debility would make them easy instruments of influences foreign to the interests of our country." The papers of the 25th state that a Cabinet Council was held on the preceding day which lasted three hours, and that a " Ministerial crisis" was anticipated. A list of a new Ministry had appeared, in which are the names of MM. ORLANDO, BENAVIDES, BONCALI, LARA and CASI RO-Y- 0 ROZCO, with General NARVAEZ as President of the Council. On the 24th the Three per Cents. closed at 321 at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at 231 at 60 days ; and the Coupons at 24i at GO days. On Saturday, in the French Chamber of Deputies, M. BERRYER proposed, in a speech of considerable length, his amendment on the sth and Gth paragraphs of the Address, relative to the line of policy France should adopt in case of a war between America and Eng land, and entered into a narrative of the differences that had arisen between England and the United States on the Oregon question. These had been adverted to in the Speech of Queen VICTORIA, and from that docu ment it appeared that the contention was not at an end, and that Great Britain would make concessions only consistent with her interests and honour. An arbitration had been proposed, but the United States would evi dently refuse it. A quarrel was, therefore, imminent between those two great powers. What would the policy of France be? M. GUIZOT bad given the Chamber to understand that it would be a neutrality, but the Address said nothing of it. France would be placed in a critical position, and it was of importance to fix the conduct to be pursued by her in a solemn way. In his opinion, the Ministry had inclined in favour of a power which was no t the real ally of France. Powerful interests and old recol lections seemed to connect France with the United States. It had been, perhaps, more politic to unite against a rival power that domineers over the world. Be this as it may, the Chamber ought to know to what extent Frauce had been engaged, and whether the sacrifice of her dearest interests had not been required. Ile next examined the conduct of France in the question of the annexation of Texas. lie blamed the conduct of the Government throughout that affair, being convinced that it was not a French interest that had guided it. France had no reason to dread the aggrandisement of the United States, and no motive for opposing the annexation of Texas. All the arguments advanced by M. GUIZOT had been groundless. What had been the motive for such a policy ? A desire to please England. The dignity of Francs had been often compromised, and it behoved the Chamber henceforth to uphold and guard it. France had, without any interest of her own, been made to join England in her opposition to the American Government. The French Government had not acted honourably to wards the United States in the matter. He then pro ceeded to criticise the French policy with respect to La Plata, Madagascar, and elsewhere, and maintained that in all concession to England was the dominant motive. Reverting to the declaration of neutrality made by M. GuizoT, he said, nothing could be more hostile to the United States than that announcement, or a greater deviation from the true policy of France M. GUIZOT rose to reply, and was left speaking at the hour of post. The speech of M. BERRYER it was said did not make much impression on the Chambers, though his sentiments coincide with those of all the Opposition Members. Ergland can, however, see from it the line of policy that will guide the Right and Left in case of a war between England and the United States. The discussion on the University question, which had lasted for four days, was brought to a conclusion on Friday without a di vision. It was a long, te:lions, and uninteresting affair, and has thus produced no result. The opinions of the Paris press on the new Tariff proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL possess comiderable interest, and we therefore give numerous extracts from them. The Journal des Debuts gives a sum mary of the plan with little comment. It states that the reduction of duties is perfectly spontaneous on the part of England, without any bargain or promise on the part of France. The Const;thtionne/ says This plan, presented with great ability, is equally well concocted in all its detai!s. But it shows that Sir IL Peel has yieltied enormous concession to the manufacturing party, and that the compensation offered to the landed interest is little more than a nullity. The battle will be sharp, but can not be doubtful. Sir Robert has the whole Opposition with him, and he will easily find among his own friends a hun dred votes to give him a majority. Since the Reform Bill, the Parliament of Great Britain has not had any question of such weight to resolve upon as that which is now submitted to it, and the changes proposed will, if they be adopted, have most assuredly immense consequences on the economy of the country." The Presse, after giving the heads of the proposition of Sir ROBERT PELL as regards articles of food, add:— " As regards manufactured articles, Sir It. Peel could cut away at full liberty for two reasons. First, because England, thanks to the secular protection which she has enjoyed, and all the mechanical resources which she has appropriated to herself before all other nations, is without a rival in all the great manufacturing brancl.es. Next, because by the intelligent reform which she effected in 1842, the raw pro duce which she receives from foreign countries has been relieved from all duties, whilst elsewhere, amongst us, for instance, these matters are still charged with heavy duties, which necessarily increase the price of the manufactured article. In proposing to the English manufacturers to give up a protection altogether superfluous, Sir R. Peel reminded them, by a quotation from Adam Smith, that they had been the first to invoke for their profit the establishment of these monopolies against which they protest loudly, now that they have no longer need of them. This little quotation, which has the merit of being just, was much applauded by the agricultural party. Sir R. Peel therefore reduces the tariff on cotton, woollen, and linen cloths. It may be taken as cer tain beforehand that the imports from abroad will scarcely increase fom his doing so. As to silks it is another matter, as the diminution ofduties may facilitate some ventures from France, although the duty is still tolerably high. The avowed object of these reductions, and some others, is to in duce other countries to - do the same. In this respect it is probable. that each nation will consult its own advantage, convenience, and position, before considering itself bound to a reciprocity which for most of them would be perfectly il .. lusory." The Epoque says :—" Such are the general features of the new financial plan of Sir R. Peel. He proposes it boldly, reckoning on the wisdom of his combinations and on the re sources of the country to till.up in.the Treasury the chasm which so many deductions ought seemingly to cause there, to serve even to the augmentation of the imposts which the grand interest of the national defence naceesitates. It is wholly in consulting the wants of England, and without having previously negotiated with foreign powers, that he accords these new facilities to the foreign trade; the example of England will besides, he hopes, find numerous imitators." The: Ske/e: gives an analysis of Sir R. Peel's plan, but makes only one observation of any interest. It remarks that the Minister, although he has announced a reduction of the duty on silks, which may have a beneficial effect on the manufactures of this country, says nothing about French wines, and proposes a smaller reduction in the duty on brandy than was offered by the Whigs in 1840. The Commerce says, " These", reforms are extensive and liberal, and they ought to produce important modifications in the foreign relations of England. It will be curious to observe what effect they will have upon the manufactures of this country. First of all, however, it is to be seen whether Sir Robert Peel's plan will not undergo some material altera tion before it receives the sanction of Parliament." The Courrier Francais offers no observations on the plan of Sir Robert Peel, but promises to give its opinion on the subject. The Quctidienue says—" Whilst our doctrinaire Ministers are endeavouring to escape from crises by expedients of cor ruption, Sir Robert Peel is showing how a 111111 of strong mind can exercise a mastery in social traasformations. The contrast is a striking one. In this country the system of artificial majorities leaves all questions undecided ;—in Eng land a policy of reason resolutely attacks and solves them." The following are the opinions of some o: the papers on the late gallant aftsir in the River Plata : CONSTITUTIONNEL —" It is with a just pride, mingled with regret, that the public will read the various episodes of this affair, in which the bravery of our soldiers and sailors were again displayed, but the result of which has been Purchased by such sensible losses. An unhappy chance exposed the St. Martin to the cross-fire of the batteries of the enemy and to one of the vessels of Rosas. Tue consequence was, a loss much greater on our side than on that of our allies. Our seamen were not wanting in bravery and skill ; what was wanting was the prudence which is not incompatible with skill and bravery. Here is a combat which costs us 18 killed and 70 wounded. Will the consequences compensate for this painful sacrifice? This, unfortunately, is very doubtful. It will be said that by the destruction of the batteries the Parana is open to commerce. This will be the case so long as the allied forces shall be present; but it is not evident that when they shall have removed, Rosas, who is master of the country, will again close the passage. It is against the power of this man, who is the enemy of civilisation, that we should direct our blows. It is himself whom we should con strain to respect the rights of European commerce, and the liberty of independent nations. As long as Rosas shall not be rendered powerles to annoy, the European question in the Plata will not have advanced a single step, and the generous blood that is shed will produce no fruit." NATIONAL.--" Our seamen covered themselves with glory, and their intrepidity produced from those who witnessed their bravery the mo:t honourable and spontaneous testimony. This is a new proof of what we may expect from our army and navy when well directed. We do not hesitate to declare that the English squadron also did its duty nobly, nor must we forget that the soldiers of Rosas made a valiant resistance. We do honour to ourselves in rendering justice to our rivals and enemies. May the fresh blood which has been shed on the banks of the Plata efface some of the stains indicted by the cowardly policy of our Government." c ounniEß FasaNcars.—" Whatever may be the result of this affair, we canot help first of all making the remark that here, as at Madagascar, the loss and damage have fallen more particularly on us, and that here, as at Madagascar, it is England that will profit by the combined interference. We are no lovers of a glory that must be shared with others. France reserves to herself the honour, and lets others reap the profit. Here, besides, as it will come to pass at Madagas car, this first victory will not prove anything. To bring under :subjection the Gauchos, as the Hevas, it will be ne cessary to occupy and pursue after having conquered. To pursue the Gauchos in their immense and desert pampas is dangerous, and would be useless. It will be necessary, therefore, to occupy some points on the banks of the river, as we shall have to do on the coasts of Madaga , car. What will be the result ? That England will be there before us, with or without us. We abstain from every other re flection." IBRAITI3I PACHA was expected at Paris on Saturday. On that day the Funds were &fn.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE, The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 5,000 bales, all to the trade, and at about former prices. There was some improvement in Shares, and the market closed better. There are dates of Dec. 13 from the Cape of Good Hope. The colony, although prospering in respect to seasons, &c., was suffering from political excitement, and the emigration from Natal had act ceased. The new point of attraction now to the Dutch farmers was a piece withm eight days' march of Delagoa Bay. About three hundred men had arrived there ; and the country, as is usual with new settlements, is described as being more fertile than the districts the adventurous farmers had just quitted. There had been a shocking murder committed by the Caffres on the frontiers of the colony, the Rev. Mr. Scholtz, a newly arrived missionary, being the victim. The hard road had been firmed at last across the Cape Downs. The schooner Charles, with 140 tons of guano had been wrecked on the Bird Islands, and although the crew were saved, they lost all their own effects as well as the ship. Nothing ;:eridifferent to what has previously come to hand is contained in the American advices. . The English investments have not been quite sustained at the elevated point of Saturday, but this arises probably from the comparatively limited business that has been doing. Consols have realised 94% % for present transfer, and 95 to % for time. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been also rather lower, viz., 255. to 28s. In Bunk and India Stock we have heard of no bargains. Sc uth Sea Sto k is 105 to 106. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97% to %, and the Three per Cents. 95 to %. Money is rather tight still. For foreign stocks the demand has not been active, but still there is rather more doing than there 'was at the close of last week. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28 to 1%, and the Three per Cents. 38 1 4 to %. Portuguese Three per Cents. have been 59 1 4. Mexican Stock is heavy at 30% for the Five per Cents., and at 16 for the Deferred. Buenos Ayres Bonds are worth 41 1 /._,, Equador 314, and Peruvian 38. French Five per Cents. have been marked 122 f. 50c., with the exchange at 25f. 70c. Dutch Two and a Half per Cents. have been 59%, and the Four per Cents. 94 to %. Shares are steady, but rather dull.

SUNDERLAND.—The anxiety manifested by all classes, on Wednesday morning, to obtain the earliest information re specting ths grand plan of the Premier exceeded anything we ever witnessed in the borough. It being known that The Sun would publish an extraordinary edition, which was expected to arrive early on Wednesday, numbers assembled about the shop of Mr. Williams, news-agent, who had arranged to have a parcel. At ten o'clock in the morning the eagerly expected dispatch arrived, aid to the astonish ment of all contained a verbatim report of Sir R. Peel's speech, and a complete summary of it, extremely useful for those who had not time to follow the Piglet Hon. Baronet through his four hours' oration. Copies were Immediately forwarded to the newspaper offices, and the remainder were instantly disposed of. A short time afterwards some copies of the Daily News arrived, which had been forwarded by spacial engine from York, by Mr. Hudson, to the Mayor and the newspaper offices. At first this seemed to be a still more wonderful feat than that of The Sun, but on further consideration, finding that it contained no more than The Sun, though it left London, it is understood, nearly three hours later, and had been forwarded at a very rapid rate, by special favour, it was acknowledged that for rapidity of re porting and " getting up " The Sun had decidedly outdone its able and spirited contemporary. In the evening the excitement was heightened to an ex traordinary degree, a liberal supply of the morning papers being expected by Mr. Williams. When they did arrive, there was a fierce contention to obtain copies, and the con tents of a large parcel were quickly dispersed. NEWSPAPER ExrnEssEs.—On Wednesday - morning we had the pleasure, at ten o'clock, of receiving a considerable num ber of Express Editions of the previous night's Sun, which were anxiously looked for, and very soon circulate d. The Sou contained the whole of Sir R. Peel's financial scheme.-- Demport Indepe n dent. NEWSPAPER EXPRESSING.—We have much p leasure in acknowledging the receipt, on Thursday m orning, of a copy of The Sun of Tuesday evening, containing a report of Sir Robert Peel's speech in the li.otre of Commons, whic h was concluded at half-past eight on Tuesday evening.—Glasgow Courier. We have repeatedly had to express our deep obligation to the spirited proprietor of The Sun for services rendered to us through E x pre s s Editions; but the service s done us, and the efforts achi eve d in the way of early information, on the present occasion, transcend all flint have gone before. Through the kind attention of Mr. Eut her g len, news p a p er agent, Glasg ow , day a copy of th e E x p re ss Edition of The S un of Tuesda y , we received by the fo renoon mail of ester containing a full report of Sir B. Peel's financial statement, from which we have copied the above. --Stirling Journal. By the kindness of Mr. Rutherglen, news-agent, Glasgow, who favoured us with an express copy of the Third Edition of the London Sun, we are enabled to lay befora our readers an abstract of the Premier's financial propositions, as de livered by him on Tuesday evening. The late hour at which we recei ve d it, however, precludes the possibility o f our offering any remarks upon the nature and bearing of' its various poposals.—Elintantock Journal. p The propriet or o f Th e Sll7 l deserves special notice for the dispatch h e h as on this and many former occasions dis played to put t h e üblic i n early possession of important intelligence. 2'he Sun's report of the speech extended to columns. We were indebted for one copy sent to us direct from The Sun office.—Glasqow Constitutional. ---- SECESSION S FROM THE CHURCH. - The Rev. H. Formby', Vicar of Ruar Dean Gl o ucestershire, has made his public pr o f ess i on of the Roman faith at St. Mary's College, Oscott. Mr. Burder, curate to Mr. Formby, has made a I s a in st lil f a e r:r n o l f o e i s l s t i l o is n , of no T w h e e x n e u ee m d b s er one converts to the Roman Catholic religion from the upper ranks of society! during the hundred. early forty are clergymen. SIVZXTIIPIEI.I2. The past week's importations of foreign, stack for our market have consisted of 80 Cows, 51 Oxen, 446 Sheep, and 30 Pigs, from Rotter dam, together with 13 Oxen, 96 Cows, and 219 Sheep from Harlingen. At the outposts very few imports have taken place, while we had on sale here to-day about 50 Beasts and 100 Sheep from Rotterdam. Although this stock was by no means first-rate, the sale for it was active at higher currencies, and at which the whole was disposed of. From our own grazing districts the arriv:ds of beasts fresh up this morning were very limited, but of fair average quality. The at tendance of buyers being large the Beef trade was active, at an ad vance in the prices obtained on this day se'nnight, of from 2d to 4d per 81bs, the finest Scots readily producing 4s 6d per 81bs. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, consisted of 500 Scots and Shorthorns. From the northern districts 600 Shorthorns ; from the western and midland, 700 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; and from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds came to hand. The numbers of Sheep were unusually small, or about nineteen thousand less than were exhibited at the corresponding market day last year. The 3iutton trade was consequently brisk, at a further improvement in the quotation of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Lambs sold freely, at 7s per. Sibs for the best qualities. Calves were in short supply and ready inquiry, at very full prices. In Pigs a full average business was doing, at late rates.

During the past week the arrival of potatoes have been on a very moderate scale, yet they have proved quite equal to the wants of the dealers, who have purchased with caution, on the following terms : York Reds, 80s to 120 s ; Ditto Regents, 90s to 115 e; Lincolnshire Kidneys, ate to 90s ; Scotch Reds, 603 to 80s ; Jersey Blues, 75s to 805 per ton. BOROUGH HOP IVE.O.P.MET. Selected parcels of Hops continue In fair request, at fully previous quotations. In other kinds very little is doing, at late rates. The supplies on offer are by no means large. WOOL. Although no public sales are yet declared, the demand for foreign and colonial wool is inactive at barely late rates. In English wools, rather more business is doing, and in some Instances, a trifling im• provement in the quotations. The imports during the week have been small, viz., about 600 bales : -315 being from Port Philip. T.Ela. X. W. The prices have declined since our last, chiefly owing to the pro position by Sir R. Peel to reduce the duty ; but the quotations of this morning are almost nominal. If panics have Y. C. 'already duty paid, and are determined to realise, they must submit; while fine Y. C. is selling to the trade at 42s 9d for cash, and 435. for good bills. In new Tallow there is nothing doing. Town Tallow is firm, at 43s net cash. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

In this case, which occupied the Court for some time, it appeared that the traverser, who was a music-seller in Bond street, had been charged with perjury; but upon an investi gation of the case it appeared that the charge originated in a mere mistake as to dates in swearing an affidavit in a case before the Court of Chancery, and that no allegation of wilful or corrupt perjury could be sustained, and the traverser was therefore at once acquitted, the Crown having declined to prosecute. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prias after Term.) Mr. Baron Platt sat at nisi prius, in Westminster, this morning, but the cases which came before the Court were of an ordinary character, and involved no matter calling for a public report. The cause list contains forty-five new cases, and seven remanets, making in the whole fifty-two causes, but many of these had been withdrawn before the close of the day, leaving not more than forty for trial, thirteen of which are special jury cases. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice ERLE). This being the first day after term, the Court, having sworn a common jury, entered upon the new trial paper for Middlesex, on which there are upwards of thirty cases, but those disposed of presented no feature of interest except to the parties concerned. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE WICKS. This insolvent, who came up for his final order, is sexton of St. Andrew's burial. ground, in Gray's Inn-lane, and was opposed. On the previous occasion it was endeavoured. to be shown that the insolvent had been carrying on business as a job-master in conjunction with a Mrs. Goodall. The insol vent denied the assertion. A person named Sedley now opposed, on the ground of a debt due to him. On cross-examination ;he admitted that he had himself been insolvent, and so badly off that he had borrowed money of Mrs. Goodall on pawnbroker's-dupli cates. He admitted that he had redeemed the property, but had never mad. 3 any declaration of the loss of the duplicate, and how he contrived to obtain them without the ticket, which was in Mrs. Goodall's possession, he could not tell. Mr. Slam; for the insolvent, submitted that no reliance could be placed on Scdley's evidence after that. The Learned Cosu►nsSlONEß assented, and the insolvent passed. IN RE HERBERT. This insolvent, who was a clerk in the Customs, came up for his interim order, and was opposed by Mr. Addison, a solicitor, on his own behalf, on the ground that the insol vent bad mixed himself up in accommodation bills. Mr. Shaw said that he had discounted the bill for 451. for a Mr. Addison, a wholesale provision merchant in the City, but on the bill becoming due it was dishonoured. The in solvent had admitted that the bill was an accommodation bill between him and a person named Rose. He Shaw) submitted that it was a case requiring opposition; it was not to be borne that persons holding accommodation bills. The insolvent said that the present bill was given to meet another, on which legal proceedings had been threatened. He had only received 14/. on account of the biil. He had it from a person named Bateman. Mr. Bateman, on being examined, said he was a ppli e d t o as an agent to get the bill discounted. He went to a person named Grey, who was clerk to Addison. Witness was to have U. for his trouble, and Grey 1/. Afte r some ti me , 33/ . was got by Grey , who at first said he obtained it from a baker in Thames-street, but afterwards admitted he had in fact received it from his master (Addison). Witness ac tually gave 35/., 2!. more than he received, sad never got the balance from Addison. WitnesO'had beon sued, and had pay,_ 71. 140. for costs. Addison had not b een sued. For the insolvent it was urged, that it was clear there Di a A ll been a collusion with A.ddison, and that be oullit to been sued . The interim order was granted.

CORN EXCHAIT - tiE.-(MOND AY.) During last week the arrivals of English'Wheat, Oats, Beau's, Peas, and Flour, were on a very limited scale ; but those of Barley and Malt were considerably on the increase. Of Irish and Scotel: grain the samples were unusually scanty ; but those of foreign Wheat were full average ones for the time of year. Fresh up, a fair quantity of Wheat came to hand, coastwise from Kent, but the supplies from Essex, Cambridgeshire, and all other quarters were small, and of very middling quality. The attendance of both town and country buyers being large, and the supply of Wheat of home growth by no means equal to their wants, the demend for that description of produce was somewhat active, at ass advance in the currencies wed this day se'nnight, of from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which a good clear ance was effected by the factors. Still, however, the market did not dose very firmly. The show of free foreign Wheat was by no means large. Holders were very firm, and would not sell in many instances, except at higher prices. These were submitted to in but few instances ; hence we cannot consider the quotations more that: Is per quarter above those of last week. Bonded Wheat was very steady, fyet we can make no alteration in tile currencies. In all other grain under lock next to nothing was doing, yet we can notice no alteration in value. The supply bi English Barley being very large the Barley trade was ex tremely dull. The best malting qualities were held at late rates, but all other kinds suffered a decline of fully Is, and in some in stances 2s per quarter. We had a large quantity of Malt on offer, owing to which, the sale was very heavy, and erices had a downward tendency. Notwithstanding the limited supplies of Oats brought forward, that article, arising from most of the dealers refusing to purchase In the absence. of the supplies now on their way frem Ireland met a very dull sale, at prices about equal to those of last week. The show of Beans was not to say large, yet the de mand was slow, rt late rates. White boiling Peas steady; but all other kinds were a mere drug. In Flour exceedingly little was doing, at last week's prices. The seed and cake markets were in a very inactive state.
