Lombardy is evincing its abhorrence of Austrian domination, and its solicitude to take part in the great movement of political reform which is tending so rapidly.to the regeneration of the Peninsula. The Italian subjects and the German soldiery of FRIMI NAND have , at length come into collision, and that, too, in the capital of the Imperial dominions situated south of the Carpathian mountains. It.eppears that a covert effort at innovation has been recently devised by the Milanese for the purpose of compelling their rulers, if possible, to relax the rigour of their poli tical grasp, and to diminish the stringency , of their social depression. A - popular comp act was resolved upon ,by the &Aliens, .by tiw. operation of which compact a . powerful influence would have::been obtained over the municipal -• Go- T v e r nment, and ultimately ever the supreme .uegishkt ure of V ienna. Aocording to this agreement every one was prohibited from cousumiet tobacco, with the intentio n of depriving theAuStrian autho rities of one of the most fruitful. sources of. revenue. Patriotism extinguishedlevery pipe within the boun daries of Milan. Such was the loathing of their oppressors in the bosom s of its inhabitantg, that they readily sacrificed their most favourite appetite for the purpose of trying an experiment which might per chance tend towards their ulterior liberation. Not a nose was titillated by the subtle grains of rappee ; not a cheek was distended with a miniature coil of pig-tail ; not a cabana gave feral- its perfume from the lips of the most venturous civilian not &spark was kindled in the bowl of a dudeenv, or beneath the perforated cap of a meerschaum. Tobacco under the taboo of the Revolutionists. It was a- • e d as LD achni resolutely as though some new TIIEO!SA nistered a solemn pledge against smoking, and had a ll the _fervour al, ENTCRA; and e x patiated with all the inspiration o f a LACOIWAIRE, against the con gumption of a weed leading so often to indolence and debauchery.

E SUN ; LONDON, changed for an equal amount of money, and therefore the industrious and productive classes were injured to that amount by the unfair appreciation of the value of money. Away then with the argument, that in justice would be committed - on the fandholders and creditors generally by the introduction of a currency Which would not be subjected to those repeated fluctuations in the value of money which occasion -such Injury to the industrious classes. Not the least valuable part of the paper is the com parison between the possible or probable conse quences of an " appreciation" of the value of money on the one hand, and a depreciation on the other. We can scarcely hope, for some time at least, to attain a perfect monetary system, and it is therefore highly desirable to know on which side it is least dangerous to err. hisses and derision; and the result of this extraordi nary affair - was a—massacre. Besides Many who were killed' by the swords and bayonets of tho Aus trians, one hundred and fifty of the unarmed citizens were conveyed to the hospitals dangerously wounded. Among those who were arrested by the.military was the Podesta CASATI ; and among the victims of the tumult was Counsellor MONGANINI, man.venerahle in years, and"of exalted reputation. ' Such has been the beneficent conductof the police undei TOIIRESANI, and of the Dragoons under "AA-. DETSIET; sucihas been the fate of the Milanese, and such the paternal tenderness of the Imperial Govern ment ! Since a aullen tranquillity has been restored to the Capital, a proclamation issued by the Arch dukeitathexart,, the ViCeroy of Lombardy, addresses the people upon 'whom the soldiers of FERDINANIOave but recently practised their skill in butcheries, as his dear Milanese,' suoi diletli Milanesi. Nothing could be Mere expressive of the hypocritical and insi dious _re of the Viennese Cabinet since the first moment in which it undertook to direct the _ social and political affairs of the Lombardo- Venetians. • With every pretence of gentle ness in its manner of administration it has combined every rigour an d cruelty in execution. If it has secured to its Italian populace a comparative amount of physical comfort and intellectual pros perity, it has done so merely within such limits as are compatible with the retention of its predominant authoritY—just as a prisoner may be fattened by his gaolers is toile the bars of his dungeon are strengthened 'andehis manacles made immeasurably more burden some. Already hal this policy been persisted in too long. The people of Lombardy are incapable of bowing 'patiently to the yoke :of theie unaYmpathising taskmasters, while southwards ;the sound. of the hymns of liberty are 'audible from the palace of Florence and the precincts of the Quirinal. A•stuperidoul catastrophe appears to U 3 to be inevitable ;:and it is impossible for the lovers of *freedom to observe the progress of events in Northern Italy without - trembling for the 'cause of those patriotic civilians who are struggling to effect their emancipation ;,bee bearding the representatives of a puissant ant military despotism. Thanks to the wisdom atid'henignity of Pius Lt.; the Papal states have arrived at theeblessiagslof representative legis lation without :one -drop- of .blood" being spilt- eithei iipon.,‘ the Montee-Cavallo or upon - the Piazza del vopoioi tiiitnilar manner the, sagacious inno vations of Leorop and the laudable changes effected by CHARLES ALBERT . haye:rendercd 'the revolutions of Sardinia and Taseany.blondless, without being in , 4ny respect insufficient. Lombardy has - amore ter rible ordeal 'to pie& thtouglC before her people can hope to aclii4e'thefil'indepiendeno. The- crowned imbecile e'i - :.tch4eibila is, surrounded by parasites who will net willingly allow this Italian jewel to drop from' the diadem of FERDINND. Before the liberty' of -Lombardy can be secured, it must, we fear, be baptised in the blood of its population. As Mr. MAcAut..‘.l - has most eloquently. said, the ex. . , orcism .ur Jae demon of.. tyranny wracks - body a , with throes .:end convul slons ..which stun-Rime's bring it to the very bkink. of 'dilsoliition. Still, terrible as those throes, and eplielling as - those eavuliiiolls may be, it is as. surediy better that the ..dt; r mrin should he exorcised, even at the risk of such: agonies, rather than that a vjhole race-; should continue to be abased by its brittalizinee! domination. Already has the tocsin siliunded Minn, at •'Corn - o,- at Lecco, and at Oren - 1611a; Yet a little while, and Lombardy may be fries ! • . . Any very great depreciation would probably be injurious - to the' non-productive classes living on a fixed income. Appreciation, on the contrary, would act as a total check to production. The benefit to the landlord or fundkolder would not be uncon ditional, it would only last while the goose which laid the golden egg was - dying. The end of a country burdened with a heavy debt must inevitably be a " national bankruptcy and universal con fusion." " Depreciation " and " appreciation " therefore, mean injustice to " the few" or injustice to " the many." Although it would be desirable to avoid either alternative, it reqUires little argument to 1 1 show which would be productive of the most inju rious and calamitous results. In one case an idle gentleman, living on a fixed income, may have to re linquish some useless luxuries, or even to exert him self in order to earn a livelihood ; in the other, the industrioqs, and skilful operative 'may starve in the • midst. of his family, although able and willing to work, or seek the means of supporting a wretched existence in the tender mercies of the union work house. We are informed by a Copenhagen letter of the 6th that in the afternoon of -that day the King of DarimAux, on returning from a carriage drive, sud denly found himself so unwell that 'his physicians considered.it necessary to bleed him immediately. A grand ball, which waA to hive taken Place in the palace in celebration of Twelfth-day, had to be post poned. IVe learn from Malia,pcc 31, that when Captain MiItEDITI, the chief of the rebel troops at Patras, was embarking with his men in theboats of the Spitfire ih pursuance of the convention with the foreign Consuls, and by 'which . . he - hai consented to accept . 82;000 draChnias instead of the 60,000 which be bad levied on the town, the secretary of the noinarch, M. lIONDOPOULON, arriving with a , force of 200 to 300 men, and ordered:a volley to be fired on the insur gonts, by which fiiur or five Were killed; and fifteen wounded. Some of the balls struck the boats,land Lieutenant MACDONALD, of the Spitfire, considering the act as an indifferent !requital for the services he had rendered, entered a formal protest against the act jof the Greek functionary ; the Spitfire reached Malta on the 24th ult., with 54 of the revolutionigts. The CothinissiOner of the lonian Islands had reflig'ed *permission for them to land at Corfu; but the Governor of Malta permitted them to land there.' 11 7. 6 have received the AthenS Journals to the 29th ult.' The Courriei- Athenes contains . a number of doennientS relative to the late diaturbances at nitres, but they add little to the information brought by the last mail. it :appears that the foreign consuls, parti cularly those of Franco and Austria, exerted thCm selves with great energy in their efforts to - send away the rell soldiery, according to the convention between them and the civilauthorities,. and to induce their commander to reduce the amount, of the sum which he had stipulated to receive as the' condition of his ceasing hostilities and evacuating the' town. The Courtier d' Athena., however,coMplains that ne sooner had the civil authorities . recovered from their panic than they recommenced. a system of persecution and misgovernment. Oa Wednctid.ty we directed the public attention to the " History and Expoiition ,of the Currency Ques tion,!' contained in - flirTVEs77lliTi.qei - Review for the preient quarter, - to which we promised to 'allude at greater length_ on a future oCcasion. We .now pro.. cued to the redemption otthat pledge. . . The . talented. writer .tells us that " Distrust strengthens itself in the conviction now widely spread among all classes, that whatever may be the modest self-reliance Of fiolitici.:us and economists, in their own judgment, there is something in 'sound. prin ciples of currency ' which nobody understands; and that it is therefore just as possible that the terms of th next 'renewal of the Bank Charter rnay lead to fresh di asters, as certain that the.last ' settlement' has wholly dilappointed the expectatiOns not only of the public, I 1 bu t t olitS authors:: . ..The .". sound principles of cur re icy " to which he alludes are the doctrines intro dubed by the Act of 1819, establishing a fixed price for t gold, that tlpiiiistind of account is always to he, liqUicjated by 5 . dwts. 3 grs, Of iold, ind'Aiaat, although . thlre r - 4net a stiihetent qu:mtity of gold in the world to ia.ti.sfy the - demand that might possibly be made, if there was a total ,suspension of credit, and every one in4sted on the payment of . the debts due to' him in bullion, mid would accept' no ' other description of satlsfaction, still the integrity of the standard must. be maintained at, any price, although it in. volVed ' the - sacrifice of - our mercantile and maidifactUring- interests, and the reduction , of our labouring crasses • 'to the lowest depths of poverty, and destitution. The Act of 1344 was merely intended by its - authors to afford a greater degree of security for the 'maintenance of the prin. cip 4 e formerly introduced to insure at all times the con trtibility of the notes issued under the former law',. ' The disasters and _ Calamities to which the nation has been exposed from its operation are too well known to require further proof ; and although ' BirCuAur.ii:WOOD may still chaunt its praises and declare : it to be, the perfection of human wisdom, it is possible that.the wisdom of the Legislature, assisted by the pressure from without, may compel him to consent to a revision of the law. But We can scarcely hope that a. free trade in money will be at once conceded ; other regulations, perhaps equally injurious, may be substituted. 'for - those which,have prOVed so great a .failure, and the ruin of. the Pation may be i occasioned by the mistakes of thos who cannot be induced to abandon their "sound principles of currency"—while anything remains to be lost—until the sufferings and misery of the many lead to a general conitasion, in which every descrip tion of property is swept away and destroyed. The fallacy of the bullionists and the triumphant demand " What is a pound ?" is well met by the re viewer. He shows that it is foundbd on a -dietum of Locines, 'which his been received . as an axiom withbut examination,. .in deference - to - Ids authority. That great philosopher lays it down that :" men in . their bargains contract not for denomi nations or sounds, but for the intrinsic value." This was the foundation of the theory of the Bullion Com mittee of .1810, which was the . fountain and origin of all our subsequent calamities, and the chief sup port of the assumption that a contract for a pound sterling is a bargain for the delivery of 5 dwts. 3 grs. of gold, and nothing more. This is really a gross misapprehension of the real meaning of the great metaphysiCian, which has led to much injustice. It is a strict adherence to the letter of a contract with. out any regard to its spirit. We shall let the writer 'speak for himself on this point. He says— " The quantitY.of gold in a pound sterling never, or , but rarely, enters into the calculation of either buyer or seller: What buyers and sellers mean by a pound is not. 5 Anti , : 3 grs. of yellow metal, 'but' that'com maw, over the necesiaries and coaifirts of life which was convt.yed by a -sovereign or a one pound note, in the acomge of the transactions id which they have seen i pa t tr7 e oe i re ni t : ii /c t i til ff di e ei c; ,.r ' l.lB 7 s...d t ,,, , ,, iiview . of a contract most materially , argument, ethics ii : r the t() discover reader meat of7ITNA. t in f VeT n t d ha no t t t h b e e pvaeryy o'f'-ye—llnii nu does not satisfy the equay ; yr 4;.(,ik,i, ..,Less , - ~. ~. , . , . 0 , ::_ - • : , _,.-•, toil clie.,,a, convey the :Swai,iii:bP, ' 1. 1r v::3 14 :0 1 1 111 :1711 r : \ :I N \ :::, n u bi.. v i t u h er i l, d ,: r. t () ; * f el c sf 7 t 7:1- e n , :di: rueful 1 - . ; laiwk:r than was mutually ,contractli:,-Cween them convey a, ,-.os purt.ha.,l , azreol.

At present this supposition has become a reality, and the preparations for this campaign, which are being pushed forward with extraordinary vigour, cause it to be presumed that it is to be accomplished without delay." MADRID BOLSA, JAN.' 7.—Threc3, 26i ; Fives, ; Exchange on London, 48 30. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The speech of M. Guizo'r in the Chamber of Peers on Wednesday, in the course of the debate on the Address, is important, as containing an exposition of the policy of. the French Government with regard to the movement now going on for the liberation of Italy. It is to encourage all the Italian Princes to grant nothing to the people which they can possibly withhold—to frighten . the POPE by con juring up a phantom of revolution and infidelity, and thus to endeavour to bring him into accord with Austria, and to justify Austria in " taking precau tions"—that is to say, in overrunning Italy with troops to put down the reform movement, if it cannot be put down by any other means. It is, in fact, the old "willing to wound and yet afraid to strike" policy, of which M. Guizoz has always been the representative. He said—" Ile believed that inmost of the Italian states persons were to be found who pushed matters to ex•- tremity. Ile was decidedly of opinion that: the conduct of these persons was founded on erroneous -views, 'and that if persisted in it would lead to 'anarchy. What the French Government desired to see, and Would always promote, was the establish• meat in each of these states of a preponderating. party of Moderate and prudent reformers, which might direct the agitation now existing and bring it to a ssfeissue. If his dispatches on Italian affairs were examined, it would be evident that this wag ~ T ongly on as absolutely neceaearv.

His aiu: A P,:g evidently to introduce domestic reforms in states, and it was likely that his efforts would be crowned with success, from - his possessing two eminent qualities essential to every, reformer—a clear decided aim, and a power of resistance to all impul sion coming from abrOad; he seemed, in fact, to have in view a certain point d'arret, which would prevent his going too far. The Porn also was perfectly aware that factions existed, and was sagacious enough to take into account the opposition which they might produce to his attempts at reform. France had every reason to support the efforts of that eminent man, and would do so by very constitutional means. She considered herself bound also to forward the views of the Italian states in their efforts at reform, but not if they aimed at ;violent measures. It was asserted that France was friendly to ,A.ustria, "and opposed to the Italian states which were under her rule. The latter part of the assertion was not the case; no doubt France was on good terms with Austria, and believing that that power was threatened in . her rule, considered 'that she was justified' in taking precautions ; but France went no 'further. He even felt convinced that if the reforms aimed at in the Austrian states . in Italy were carried out with tranquillity and propriety, Austria would not offer any opposition. The Honourable Minister here read a dispatch addressed in September last to Count Rossr, which he 'declared was strongly cor roborative of the views which he then expressed. In it he had, he observed, directed the Ambassador to firmly support the head of tho Catholic Church, which it was the interest of Europe to see placed in an honourable position. France was on' good terms with Austria, and would endeavour to remain so. ! For Austria to take up arms, would be: alike disadvan tageous to Europe and Italy ; and, in consequence, the French Government hoped to be on good terms with her, but that would not prevent him from giving every encouragement and support to the Porn, who, he trusted, would pursue the course which he had so admirably commenced."—(Cheers.) We also trust that the Porn will pursue the course which he so admirably commenced twelve months 'since, yet his recent acts incline us to doubt whether he has not sunk the reformer in the PONTIFF ; and the feet that he has incurred the praises of M. GUIZOT would lead us to fear that Count ROM has been but too successful in persuading him to adept the doc trine of finality, which is but another word for re • trogradation. The discuSsion on this paragraph of the Address terminated by the Government giving its consent to the introduction of a a passage expressive of sytn pathy with and encouragement ,to the Pore to pro ceed with those reforms which had given so much, satisfaction. • ' Thb Prase complains that the arrangements under , the Postal treaty are so bafily,Aausged at the French side of the Channel, that the mails rarely' arrive in tirne.for the railway trains, and consequently too tate in Paris for men of business, MONEY and COMMERCIAL :ti KW 8. CITY, QUAII7'ER TO In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales .were 4,000 bales.—Railway Shares were firm. The state et' the weather this morning being so ex tremely unpropitious, the market for grain at Mark-lane has Veen very heavy to-day. There are bad reports in circulation relative to: the dividends which more than one or two suspended establishments will ultimately pay. By the letters that have come to hand this morning from Brussels, it is stated upon competent authority that the Treasury of King Leopold is about to be strengthensd by anew loan. It is not represented with anything like certainty what amount will be required. The contract will, in all probability, be• taken by capi talists in Paris. The correspondence relative to the Peruvian Debt, which has recently taken place between the agents of the Committee of Spanish American bondholders at Lima and the Peruvian Government, relative to the claims of the bondholders, is considered so far satisfac tory, that it is to be referred to the Congress of Peru, that the course adopted by the Government• of Chili , in settling with its creditors abroad, should be fol lowed by the authorities of the former. It would further appear that there is no disinclination of the Ministry of Peru to recommend that - such a pro cedure was most proper to be followed. We have not heard of any failures of importance this morning. It was noted under this head yesterday afternoor, that - the Court of Directors of the Bank of England had not, as anticipated would have been the case, made any alteration in the minimum rate of discount. The policy of this course of proceeding is questioned by speeulators and other "go-a-head" people. Careful men think that, for the necessities of the day, the value of money is now lOw:enou s. ;11 upon good bills and le- Galignane s Messenger says : 77 " Some sensation was excited this morning' in, .the Passage de l'Opera among the stock-jobbers by a report that the KING was taken ill yesterday whilst at dinner, and was obliged to be bled.

Letters, have been received to-day at the Admi ralty, from Rear-Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis, : dated Malta, ~,January 4, , reporting the return of the " Hecate," to that port i after a close but fruitless search for any survivors from, the wreck of her Majestfs late ship Avenger, and reporting that scarcely, a - vestige of that ill-fated ship could be found on the rocks and islands adjacent.to the scene of wreck. No hopes are, therefore, entertained at - the Ad miralty of any lives being saved, except those of Lieutenant Rooke and the three other persons landed from the Avenger's cutter on the Barbary coast. SANITARY R E FORM--(THIS DAY. ) A very numerously attended meeting of the rate payers of St. Martin-in-the-Fields was held in the Vestry-room of this parish to-day, to consider the propriety of supporting Government in any compre hensive system of sanitary reform whidi they might introduce. , . Mr. DAWKINS (churchwarden) was innigi to the chair, and stated that the meeting was called in com• plince with a very numerously signed requisition of the rate-payers of the parish. Mr. COCMR A NE moved a resolution to tie 'effect that a committee be formed to ,co-operate with the Board of Guardians and the Paging Board in carrying out sanitary improvements, and afFord every assistance to Government in effecting that object.. Mr. Mittman seconded the resolution. Mr. BaooKEs proposed an amendment•tothe effecl that such committee was . unnecessary. . Mr. STAUNTON seconded the amendment.

Soine realising then occurred, as the value of the Rentes on the Paris Bourse came over 'lower. The reaction here was to 874, at which a large amount of dealings took place. For im mediate transfer there were the same changes. The premium on Exchequer-bills advanced to 275. Bank Stock, from the advanced point of 19(11, has fallen to 194, and East India Stock from 236 to 233: Scarcely half-a dozen bargains were made in the Foreign Stock market this morning. Brazilian Bonds went back from 83 to 81; Mexican rallied from 17i to 1 sk. The Dutch Teo-and-Ralf per Cents. opened at 541, and are now at 54f. Tins Spanish Three per Cents. remain steady ,at . 291. • The market for the Railway Shares has been pretty good this morning.

DREADNUL FIRE.—(Tun Dmr.)—A few minutes before five - o'clock this morning, a conflagration took place oh the premises of a coachmaker, near Southamp ton-street, Camberwell-green. When first discovered, a small quantity of water would have arrested tho pro gress of the fiames t but no supply could be obtained. Several engines were soon on the spot, but as only a little water could be procured from a ditch, barely suffi cient to supply a garden engine, the firemen's exertions were fruitless, and the whole range of workshops, tools, stock, Sic., were quite destroyed. Nothing was known of its origin, and the loss is estimated at between 5001. and 6001 The property destroyed is insured in the Royal Exchange and Sun fire-offices. The Centenary of the Aberdeen Journal was cele brated on the sth instant by a dinner given by his fel low, townsmen to Mr. Chalmers, the proprietor. Up wards of two hundred. gentlemen were present at the festival. • .• 3 dig 35 BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION.—Last even ing the annual meeting of the supporters of this charity wus held - at. the Freemasons' Tavern, Mr. Sharpe in the chair.

(Sittings in Banco, before the LORD-dims JUSTICE, and Justices VATTESON, COLEBIDGB, and gal.E.) 'FITE"'CONFIRMATION OP DR. 4AMPD,EN. ITIIt MR; lICNTIBIC AND OTHERS U. ARCHBISHOP • • • • OF YORK., • I- - On the Learned Judges taking their seats on the bench this morning, SIT-FITZROY KELLY rose to move the Court for-a writ of mandamus calling upon the Archbishop of York to show cause why he should- not direct the Court; recently apppoirited by him to confirm the Rev. Dr. Hampden, to hear the parties who, .on a public citation being made at the' .recent confirmation of the Rev. Dr. Dickson Rena Hampden, . at 'Bow . Church, calling upon all parties•-who had any objec- • . Lion t - o urge against th said cOnfirinaticin -to • t appear and state' their objec lona, - did 'appear in ~ con - forinity With that citation, ibut . were refused - to be - heard. Ile -said he- moved•ob behalf of.t l '.e ReV. - John Huntley and two other clergynien, who believing the teaching of the Rev. Dr. Hampden to be unorthodox, appeared on that occasion to . eppose his confirmation, but-were refused a hearing e nad adjudged " contu- niacious," - though all persons having any•objectiens to ; urge were twice publicly cited to appear. It would be necessary for him to refer shortly to the facts. A copge . delire Was issued 'by her Majesty, directed , to the Dean and Chapter of Hereford, -calling upon . them on pain of. prremunire, to elect Dr. clamp- , den Lord Bishop -of the diocese, - and - he. was accordingly elected to the vacant See; and on the Bth of the present month letterepatent were issued calling : upon the Archbishop of York to proceed to the cow." &Mellen of the Bishop elect, and on the 11th . of the,:: same month the Archbishop's vicar-general end coin-es raissioners appointed by the Archbiihop, - appeared in .. 4 , Bow Church to fulfil . their duties, and to induct the Bishop elect into his office. The affidavits on which he moved stated that all persons who had any ground to urge against the confirmation were cited to appear: ' that the vicar-general and the cominissionera, Dr. Burnaby, Dr. Lushington, - and the Others, having consulted in . a, room adjoining the hall at Doc tors' Commons, proceeded to, the . said church. ..- and that after Some preliminary proceedings-the cita tion, to which he had already referred was read. - It.:' was proclaimed by the apparitore general, ho- having -' been called upon to do so by the vicar- general ; and he prayed the ;attention of their Lordships. to. the words used, .which appeared to be the same ' as • those. adopted uniformly, he' might ' say, without a single - exception, for many centuries—certainly, however, since the . revival. of the Act of Henry . VIII. in the reign--of Elizabeth... The --parties objecting to the confirmation replied to the citation by their tit - odor, • Mr. Townsend; but the court, thus constituted,. re fused to heir any - argument at all except upon the . .. preliminary question-whether they were erititledto appear and :' be heard at' all. The court . heard the' - 'arguments ' •on •' this' `Point • and .. _ . without hearing the . arguments ,on the other side, it. determined that by the recent :I'd of Parliae . meth the court had no discretion nor power to hear any parties either by or in the shape, of mereellegae ' tions; or by arguments in 'eupport ofell4in. Such was the opinion of two out of three of the commis sioners;-the-third-having--some doubt of the legality of rejecting all 'opposition, and -thereby denying a ll parties objecting a hearing, and the confirmation of -the Bishop was proceeded with. Ile had to submit to their Lordships upon the authorities on the matter to whom he would refer, that under .the statute of . Henry VIII. the plaintiff—he would not say notwith standing that statute—but under it, and in accordance - with the canon and common law of the realm, that the ceremony of confirming a Bishop was a regular judicial proceeding; and that it is a necessary and essential - part of that proceeding that the Archbishop or his vicar-general should at once proceed to examine and inquire into, among.._ _ other things, the fitness and qualification of the - Bishop elect, e.nd must enter into any . evidence . or objection which might be offered and made by, any person present who came forward to do so in:accord._ . ante with the proclamation and citation ; they must hear them, he apprehended, if they made their objec tions in due form of law. And if they refused to enter upon that inquiry, the parties claiming it having thd right abd . privilege of being . heard, as was evident from the citation; - and consequently denied them jus tice, he . contended that their proceedings were incom plete, and, therefore, null and void. The Learned Counsel then referred to Burns's Ecclesiastical Law (artiale Confirmation), and having read the clauses„ . said the writer held that all things at a confirm:diet' . must be done according to . the canon law, and laid great stress upon the citation:a opponents. Heedso referred .to ! Gibson's Colle,x," . who, -- he ' held, _ .. thoUght the citation -an important part of the pro ceeding ; and yet it was contended that the pro=. ceeding was useless; though it had been in con stant use for 300 or :400 years, -it was • deemed • a . mere useless • form, which could not be - complied with.: --When the citation was uttered the court was . prayed to call all persons who had been called upon to come forward and "they should be heard."- When the proclamation was read was the proper time for parties having good and sufficient grounds of oppo sition to come forward and raise them ; .and they did - so in this ease but were at once told that they-,could not do so. ' Nine articles had to be complied .with— citation, and the-making up of a certificate that the Bishop so confirmed was sufficiently qualified, by • his'-= ,l - -: age,' knowledge, learning, orderly life, • sabriety= piety, and fidelity to the King, being amongst them.a-iaee There is, further, a declaration that the Bishop elec t. had given proofs of these things; and was it - to be said that those who had-a deep interest in the niatter'ninst .e not bring counter proofs :if they were in a condition .. to. do so, though expressly, and in unambiguous terms 'cited to appear. .Burna said, that the proelamation . .ea . ! was to be made a second time at the door of the church, ..tart so that they had the fact, that after the petitiOn Of the - .e1 1 ." bishop had been put in, and after the proofs of his • -I fitness for the office with which he was being On- . • firmed had been adduced, a second proclamation was to be made, calling upon all opponents" to 'come for ward, and that " they should be. heard." hie- believed - this case was the only one of the .kind, - with the exception of one, which had occurred ; hitt as the :opposition - was 'nut made in -the form presCribed by law, the opposition failed. The . confirmation of Montague, who was appointed- to the see of Wells in the translation of Laud to Lon don, wait opposed by a bookseller named Jones; - viho ' charged him .with pcipeili,...but for the reason lie had stated his objections fell to the ground; the objec tions; were not given in writing, and were not signed by an advocate and presented by a proctor. Parlia ment toc4; Cognizance of. the matter, and an inquiry wus instituted, .and Dr. Rivers, an eminent divine, celebratsd for his lecrning, before whom the case Came, admitted that the opposition was good and . valid if it had been legally offered, and Parliament being satisfied, abided by that opinion. It had been said ;that these precedents were to be found in . , troubled times ; _ but this was a mistake, as . . the decision in the last case was - come to in 16t8, when there was nothing in the nature of the times caletilatAlo Overcome the judges in the strict e' diseliirge of theiri- duties. , l-The-leOt , procciettingein-- - , - - - 1 ' the butenesinf confirmation was vvhat was called the " definitive sentence," an d then the bishop was decreed i~t., ~~c s'i;, w 26 11% 20% 28% 31% 20'm .11;18 12% 9 1i 76k,i 16; 13% 11 1 4 5 1 4 _ lot, r
