CAEN STONE, ITS QUARRIES AND ITS QUALITIES. The stones from the quarries at Ranville, says Mr. Freeman, has been used to a great extent in the public works at Honfleur, Havre, Fecamp, St. Vallery, Di eppe, and Trepor,t,also in the works at the mouth of the river at Caen. - The hard, or dog bed, is considered v er y durable; about 70 tons of this stone, with a few blocks of the white bed (which is of softer quality), have lately been lando.l at Dover for the Government works, under the direction of Messrs. Walker and Burgess, and a further quantity of about 1,000 tons is in course of delivery. The quanies at Adernagne do not appear to have been worked to any extent until about the year ISOB ; the stone formerly sent to this country is known to have been much laminated, and of a harder texture. A stone calk d colombelle was formerly shipped in con siclerabl2 quantities ; it is considered very durable, and the blocks, on I. clo t ; sounded ring like copper.—Builder.

Among other causes of terror to the more peaceful Parisians are the conflagrations which have lighted up several of the districts in which the gas lamps had been entirely destroyed. In this manner it would seem that the manufactory of omnibuses at Neuilly had been ignited, and a guard-house in the Champs Elysees committed to the flames. The Government is in a state of dismay—the troops, numbering almost 100,000 men, are strong enough to crush a mere rabble twice their superiors in nume ' rical strength—the Bourse experienced ; the effects of this great emergency, as visibly as a magnetic needle vibrates under an extraordinary electrLal con dition of the utnauspl....i . e--the more sober citizens were breathless with agitation—and a terrible blood shed was anticipated. Such was the position of the French metropolis up to the period when our latest dispatches had been received; and from the unwonted delay of our ordinary express, we dread that some unusual catas trophe has interrupted the line of communication. Whatever may be the immediate consequence, the Reformers of France have at last drawn the sword. The standard of a new revolution has been unfurled at Paris; it flutters from the church turrets of Amiens, and we doubt not but that the tocsin is now sounding, and the rappel beating in many of the ancient cities of the French dominion. A grand alternative at length presents itself to King LOUIS PHILIPPE. Shall he reign by liberality or by despotism—by a liberality strong in the po pular affection; or by a despotism potent through the sword, the bayonet, and the howitzer? Shall he secure to himself the love of his people, or the hatred of all posterity—the first by taking the initiative in constitutional reforms, the second by empowering his troops to commit the " can naille" of Paris to destruction ? Shall he sink into decrepitude in a palace guarded night and day by praetorians and janissaries, or shall he, like the Reforming Princes of Italy, pass unattended through the swarming _concourse of his subjects—unscathed in his security and invulnerable in their love ? Will he still hearken to the insidious incitements of GUIZOT, as CHARLES X. listened to those of the recreant PoLIGNAC? Will BUGEAUD enact the part so feebly enacted of old by MARMONT, and will JACQUEMINOT become his lieutenant, and conduct the detested guards of the municipalities against those brave Nationals who have been hitherto taught to regard him as their father ? Amidst all these memorable tumults, in the midst of this remarkable insurrection, an Arm, a Voice is wanting—Paris is waiting for a LAFAYETTE. The agitation against the Income-tax goes on gloriously. The metropolis is meeting by parishes to protest against the re -imposition of this iniquitous tax, and all the large provincial towns are doing their duty. Norwich meets this day. The Chamber of Commerce of that ancient city, which has taken the initiative on this occasion, represents, we are told, upwards of two hundred irms, all the members of which protest against the iniquity of taxing the hard-earned in come of the man of industry at the same rate as the income derived, by the idler from invested property, which property goes to his family after his death, while the income of the industrious man dies with him. At Bury a petition is in the course of signature, which will be presented on Monday. Liverpool and Birmingham are organizing, and the Scotch are loud in their expressions of indignation. We are rejoiced to find this spirit so generally prevailing through out the country. The provincial press is unanimous in its expressions of reprobation. Whig, Tory, Ra dical, Protectionist, there is no exception ! all are against the abominable five per cent. income-tax. We would urge on all the necessity of not slumbering at their posts. Petition I Petition ! Petition ! Let each elector sign the petition against it, and add the designation Elector to his name. Bombard the House night after night with these petitions, and LordJorm RUSSELL must and will give way. He will not want a good Whig precedent to justify himself for. so ,doing. Lord ALTHORP was obliged to withdraw his first budget, and propose a new one, and it will be the fault of the people them selves if Lord JOHN RUSSELL be not compelled to follow the example of his predecessor. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has given to his subjects a constitution even more liberal than that given by the King of NAPLES. The Members of the Senate are to be elected for life, and those of the Council General for a fixed period. It is declared in the 6th Article, that the liberty of commerce and in dustry shall be the fundamental principle of the economical law of the State. All religions are tolerated, and the law of mortmain is extended to the whole of the Duchy. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 16Lh. The Prima Minister SALDANHA had promised a modification .1 - E the Charter, and the Government had proposed a Bill for the regulation of the National Battalions, which it was supposed would pass. The debate on the Speech from the Throne had not com menced in the Deputies, nor concluded in the Peers. There were rumours of a split in the Cabinet. MO IN ".6 1 1. and COMMERCIAL :NEWS. CITY, It TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy. Sales, 3,500 bales. Railway Shares were a shade better. The Money Market is rather more feverish to-day, on account of the intelligence from Paris of the renewal of disturbances, but probably in the end there will be no particular influence exercised upon it, or rather the reaction that has occurred may be recovered, should peace be restored to France. The commercial markets have not been affected hitherto, but must be somewhat clogged, unless an alteration occurs. The accounts by the Tay steamer, from the West Indies, are given fully in am ther column of The Sun, but we may remalk that there is not any particular feature in them. The mercantile houses in the City state, that their corre spondents are specially anxious to learn whether there is a hope of the discriminating duties being re-im posed upon sugar, and we need hardly remark that this anxiety will not be long ere it is relieved, though not, perhaps, in the way anticipated. Our Government cannot return, in the present temper of the times, to the sys tem of class legislation, and is not so inclined. A small firm in the African trade at Liverpool is an nounced as having suspended payment. The Belgian Government has asked the Chamber of Deputies for a loan of 25,000,000 francs, or permission to issue Exchequer-bills to that amount. The Funds have to-day felt more seriously the effect of the accounts from Paris, which now are regarded with some anxiety. Consols opened at 881, fell to 81, and are now 87i to 88. Time bargains were made at 88k to 88, and since at 88k The settlement of the account has been completed to-day, and the pay ments this morning have been made with tolerable regularity, although one or two parties are in difficulties.

CONTINUED INSURRECTION AT PARIS. FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE. GuizoT has fallen, and yet the insurrectionary move ment rages with redoubled fury in the streets of Paris. Count MOLE is installed as Prime Minister, and yet the insurgents are more than ever irate, are more than ever enthusiastic, are more than ever resclute in bearding the military strength of the SOVEREIGN. The revolt of a faction has dilated into the revolution of a people, the disturbance of a day into the convulsion of an epoch, the peril of a Cabinet into the endangerment of a Monarchy. Nor can this be any matter of astonishment. Con servatism has so long tampered with the personal rights of Frenchmen, and has so flagrantly outraged the national liberties of France, that some prolonged struggle for their reclamation, their vindication, and (if possible) for their permanent consolidation, has become inevitable. Louis PHILIPPE has trifled with the dearest and, holiest aspirations of a great people, and must consequently anticipate a lengthened crisis when once the passions of that people have been fairly aroused, and especially now that their phy sical puissance has been so signally displayed in the face of a standing army of nearly 100,000 of the best disciplined soldiers in Europe, supplied with an almost inexhaustible ammunition, furnished with an abundance of provisions, shielded at once by the constitutional aegis of the law, and by the stone defences of immense and almost impregnable forti fications. Without any outrage beyond that of destroying a stray omnibus, overturning a fiacre, pillaging a gun factory, breaking the doors of a guard-house, liberating a few prisoners, and heaping the stones of the pavements into barricades, the Parisians have conquered the despotic force which had of late years enthroned itself in the Tuileries, and have driven a Ministry of eight years' duration from authority, amidst the igno minious execrations of the Opposition. The Pari sians had accomplished all this without as many arms as would go into the quiver of a Paphian huntress ; they had subjugated the flatterers of the Orleans Dynasty without the clink of a bludgeon or the detonation of an ounce of gunpowder. Has any city, 'under such infuriating circumstances, ever evinced a more sublime and undeniable moderation ? ; not one ! History is its witness. After such testimonies of magnanimity, therefore, after so many noble evidences of the popular wish to combine legality with innovation, it is not surprising that the citizens of that splendid capital should be driven into the commission of excesses, now that their farbearance has been repaid by such tardive and insufficient concessions. GUIZOT, it is true, has been compelled to deliver in his resignation, but then that resignation has been succeeded by the formation of a Cabinet quite unfitted for the emer gency, under the presidency of a statesman whose energies are unstrung by extreme age, and of whom it must be confessed, notwithstanding his integrity, that his genius is quite inadequate to the occasion. Not only is this inefficiency of the new Adminis tration an ample reason for the renewed excitement of the insurgents, but it must be recollected that this aggravation has been coincident with a very me morable and animating occurrence. The National Guards have fraternised with the people, they have declared for reform, they have joined their voices with those of the multitude in crying out, "A Las Guizor!" they have chaunted with the mob the heroic couplets of the Marseillaise, they have been saluted with that most glorious of all titles, " Les Vrais defenseurs de la Patric !" Now that the vast and organized army of the National Guard has declared itself in favour of the populace it is impossible to put any limits whatever to the results of the ;present insurrection, or rather to the new phase in that great French Revolution which virtually commenced in the middle of the eighteenth century. Extraordinary results, in eztenso of the revolt, have already taken place—results so extraordinary as to betoken in a conspicuous manner the increased agitation and reanimated daring of the already victo rious Parisians. Several of the railway stations conti guous to the metropolis have been seized by the in surgents, and the iron rails torn up so as to preclude the possibility of any very speedy reinforcements of troops to the Government. Severe conflicts have also occurred in different quarters between the mob and the Municipal Guards, who, from the commencement of the outbreak, have been treated with jealous ab horrence. On the other hand, the regular troops have reeeived every token of friendship from the people, and have evidently fulfilled the directions of their superiors with an excessive re luctance. In the Faubourg St. Martin and the Faubourg St. Antoine—localities already famous for the conflicts they have witnessed under the championship of HENRIOT—the fury of the in surrection appears to have attained its acme. Not only were platoons of infantry posted before the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres, not only were squa drons of cavalry placed in the Champs Elyseea and the Place de Carrousel, not only were forty pieces of cannon on the esplanade of the Invalides, not only did the troops of the line bivouac in the Boulevards during the night of Wed ❑esday, but formidable bodies of infantry, cavalry, Chasseurs cheval, cuirassiers, dragoons, and Municipal Guards were clearing the streets at inter vals, occasionally charging down upon the dense masses of the people, and sometimes alarming the more pacific civilians by the roar of cannon and the rattling fire of musketry. According to the vague reports which have arrived, the bloodshed in several directions has been frightful, although every exertion has been made and every device resorted to by the insurgents to prevent a needless expenditure of life. Glass, for example, was scattered over the causeways to impede the movements of the cavalry; and the National Guard, in like manner, co-operated with the multitude in striving to hinder as much as possible any very serious coilision. Altogether, Paris is in a deplorable state of panic and agitation. If we may credit some of the most recent intelligence which has been received, more barricades have been now raised in the streets of the capital than were erected in the revolutionary days of 1830. Traffic was impeded—most of the shops were closed —and, as during the Great Plague of London, the ejaculation " Loup have mercy upon us ! " was chalked upon the doors of those houses where the inhabitants were stricken with the pestilence, so it would seem that the doors of several of the tenements in the Rue St. wove are marked with the inscription, " Ici oni LATEST FROM PARIS. The Paris papers have not arrived in consequence of the renewal of the disturbances. It appears that the people have taken possession of all the railways leading to Paris, and taken up the rails, so as to prevent the arrival of reinforcements. There has been a frightful loss of life, and in many instances the troops have refused to act against the people. The passengers from Boulogne to Paris were obliged to return from Neuchatel to Boulogne, as the railway is stopped. It is said that an attempt has been made to burn the Tuileries. SUN-OFFICE, Three o'Clock. We are still without direct intelligence from Paris. It is said, however, that the Government have re ceived a telegraphic communication which describes the state of Paris as fearful. The latest direct intel ligence goes no later than 'Wednesday evening, at which time the people were erecting barricades in all direc tions, and making all the necessary preparations for a fierce conflict. It is said that the revolt is extend ing to the provincial towns, and that Amiens has " pronounced" in favour of the Reform movement. It is said that cannon had been fired in the streets of Paris yesterday. The fact that all communication between Paris, and Calais and Boulogne, is stopped, is alone sufficient to prove that Paris was yesterday, and is most probably to-day, the scene of a most frightful carnait.e. SUN-OFFICE, Half-past Three. There is a rumour prevailing in the City that the KIDiG of the FLENcu has landed at Dover.

A very moderate supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week, coastwise as well as by land carriage, and the stands, to-day, were scantily filled with samples. Selected quantities moved off steadily at about Monday's quotations; but all other kinds were very dull, and late rates were with difficulty supported. The imports of Foreign Wheat have con sisted of 6,150 quarters. In that description of grain next to nothing was doing at barely stationary prices. Superfine Barley was quite as dear. All other kinds were easier to purchase. So little business was doing in Malt, that prices were almost nominal. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were heavy, and the turn lower. In Flour, no change was reported, but the trade was heavy. Whoat. 3,420 qrs. ARRIVALS. I Barley. 3,590 qrs. English .... •• trish. .• •..... Foreign ......

The supply of Beasts on offer this morning was not to say extensive as to number, but at least two-thirds of it was of superior quality, especially as respects the arri vals from Norfolk and Scotland. The prevailing damp weather caused the Beef trade to rule heavy, at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The numbers of foreign stock consisted of 240 Beasts, 190 Sheep, and 54 Calves, in fair average condition. With Sheep we were again very scantily supplied, owing to which the Mutton trade was firm, at fully the late advance in prices. Prime small Calves were quite as dear; other wise the Veal trade was dull. Pigs moved off slowly, at but little alteration in value.

A case, " Levi v Swallow," for false imprisonment, was proceeding, and likely to occupy several hours. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULDURN.) IN RE HAMMOND. In this case the bankrupt, who was described as an architect in Threadneedle-street, came up and passed his last examination. In the course of the meeting a proof was tendered on a bill of exchange of which the bank rupt was the drawer, but which had been dishonoured. The question was, whether the holder was bound to give notice of dishonour to the assignees. His HONOUR said, that as a fiat in bankruptcy might be sued out on a bill even before it was due, as it was proof of a debt he could not see any reason why notice should be given to the assignees if it did not come due till afterwards. In this case, however, notice had been given to the bankrupt, and that was clearly sufficient— the proof was therefore admitted. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) Michael M'Manaa, a respectable-looking young man, described as a student, was brought before Mr. Ballan tine, charged with stealing 200 sovereigns, the property of his uncle, Rev. John Ryan, the parish priest of Athea, in the county of Limerick. Police. constable Shene, No. US K, stated that on the 17th instant, the prisoner came to his house, and said he had just arrived from Ireland, and that he had been lodging at witness's brother's house, and that he did not like to leave his money there. He then requested wit ness to take charge of a small mahogany cash-box, and left the house. Witness did not see him again until Sunday last, when he told witness that he robbed his uncle in Ireland of a large sum of money. Witness al lowed the matter to rest for a few days, in consquence of his knowing where to find the prisoner. Yesterday morning witness proceeded to the house of his brother, and he was informed that a letter had been received from Mr. Ryan, stating that the prisoner had stolen from his house the sum of 200 sovereigns. Witness's brother had given the prisoner the letter, and when witness reached his house he found the prisoner waiting for him. He said the witness would find 86 sovereigns in the cash-box, and the remainder he bad left with a cousin in Ireland. Witness then took him into custody, and lodged him at the station•house. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prisoner what he had to say in defence of this charge ?—The prisoner replied that he had nothing to say. He stole the money. Mr. BALLANTINE—I shall remand you for a week, and in the mean time letters shall be written to Mr. Ryan, who will probably attend. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Herman Geiger, stated to be a reduced wine merchant, and Martha, his wife, who had an infant at her breast, were charged as follows: Mrs. Phillis Barnet, landlady of the White Hart Inn, Kingsland-road, said they came to her house and took lodgings for the night, on Saturday se'nnight. They remained there a few days, and left at request of witness, who, however, on going into the room they had vacated, discovered that a pillow, a blanket, a table-knife, and several other articles were missing. They were subse quently discovered and given into the custody of a police constable, and the knife was found in their possession, but no other property belonging to witness. They had a profusion of trunks and boxes. Mr. Best, proprietor of the Railway Coffee House, Shoreditch, said, the prisoners, accompanied by two children, besides the infant, came to his establishment in a cab, and engaged an apartment. Their boxes, which were numerous, were weighty, and their appear ance altogether was such as to indicate their having just arrived by railway. They run up a score, but the stench which came from their room, and which he had since found was emitted from their boxes, which contained de cayed cabbage leaves and other filth, had rendered the house intolerable, and he would freely forego the debt they had contracted if they would take their things and themselves away from his premises. Mr. ARNOLD remanded him for a week, but subse quently took their own recognizances for their appear ance at that time. Inspector Gravestock said that 47 duplicates had been found in their possession, evidently all relating to their own property. lie believed the prisoners to be greatly distressed. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) LANCASTER. The Lancaster Election Committee re-assembled a the usual hour ; Mr. Daedes in the chair. Abraham Maunsey, a freeman of Lancaster, proved that on the day of the election he attended at the com mittee•room of Mr. Gregson, where he saw the freemen plentifully supplied with wine. Mr. Gregson and Mr. Wyse were present, and while he remained in the room the freemen consumed upwards of 50 bottles of wine. Ile did not vote on either side. James Dodson, the witness committed yesterday, was recalled and examined by the Chairman. lie contradicted a statement he made yesterday that Mr. Salisbury, the petitioner, held a com munication with himself and other witnesses while theyAwere waiting at an inn in Palace Yard. LYME REGIS. The Lyme Regis Election Committee met again at the usual hour this morning; Lord Ashley in the chair. Mr. HILL opened the case of bribery which the sitting Member was prepared to make out against Sir Fizroy Kelly, the petitioner against his return. He said he should be able to prove that in the case of one voter Sir Fitzroy Kelly himself told the voter, that if he would vote for him he (Sir Fitzroy Kelly) would remember him after his election, remarking that he was an advo cate of the principle that one good turn deserved another. He should also establish many other cases of bribery committed on the part of the agents of Sir Fitzroy Kelly, which he could not pass over without calling the especial attention of the Committee to it, inasmuch as it disclosed a novel mode of bribing a voter. It was a case of Mr. Lund, a butcher, of Lyme Regis, who was bribed to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly by the landlord of the inn Sir Fitzroy put up at during the election, in a manner which he had certainly never heard of before. The voter had presented to him several heads of fine fat cattle, and after the gift he made secret that it was the present which induced him to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly. The sitting Member felt assured that if he substantiated his case, the Committee would pass 'such a condemnatory resolution as should have the effect of deterring Sir Fitzroy Kelly from resorting to these corrupt practices in future. KINSALE. The Committee re-assembled at the usual hour this morning; Mr. Bouverie in the chair. Mr. Sergeant WRANCIIA.III was occupied the whole of the morning iu replying to the case made out on behalf of the sitting Member. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. -By the Priscilla we have dates from Pernambuco to the 24th of January. There was some improvement in commercial matters, and freights were tending upwards. Exchange, 27.1 d.

Alloore second Series. , 1 Honour to old Bishop P erc y ! the conse r v ator an d eulogist of some of the rarest apd sweetest of me trical. compositions. If ever a nation was rich in bal lad lore, England is that nation. The melody, the par sion, the tenderness, and the humour of our song writers have survived the lapse of centuries, the flue' tuations of fashion, and the vicissitudes of events. Even the extraordinary changes which have tayes place in the language have not rendered these ancient rhymes obsolete. " Fair Rosamond " still excites the sympathy of all true Britons; the " Spanish Lady! Love" still is an object of no slight attraction; sad the " Lytell Geste of .Robyn llode," still possesses an indescribable and eternal fascination. " hang Cophetua and the Beggar Maid " have had their for: tunes recounted in the matchless melodies of Alfred Tennyson, and yet, in spite of the superior eleganc e of the living poet, the rude tale, as originally t?'ut is perused with something beyond mere curiosity: We are gratified, therefore, to witness this grace ful reprint of our dear favourites, embellished with name' roux engravings on wood, illustrated by many valuable foot-notes, and accompani e d by s ev e r a l m odern piec es of versification of singular beauty,—edited more'd' er by one so well qualified fur the task as Mr. Al° ( )" . We observe that in his pr e fat o ry r em a r ks the edlwf acknowledges the assistance he has received in his researches from Mr. J. 11. Dixon. from Mr. ham, from Mr. I. 0. Halliwell, and from 1 ‘ 1 ,. r. Thomas Wright. At the same time it would 1 unjust were we not to commend the care with which Mr. Moore himself has throughout collected "'" materials, and the sagacity with which he has fre quently been enabled to explain what was hitherto dubious, and to illuminate what was hitherto obscure' One note we regard as so remarkable in roati respects that we transcribe it entire ; it is *Pe, to " The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and reference TOO reference to a passage in the "Voyages of Sa e : vocke," which the editor considers as having afforded the incident upon which Coleridge found ed his wonderful poem.

Mr. Moore, "is found in a work elltitledt Voyage round the World by Way of the GI" South Sea, performed in the years 1719, "' fl y', 21, 22, in the Speedwell of Lond on , of 24 al" - and 100 men (under his Majesty's Commission to Cruize on the Spaniards, in the late War with to a Spanish Crown,) till she was cast away on the Isloa of Juan Fernandes, in May, 1720 ; and afterivn continued in the Recovery, the Jesus Maria, un Sacra Familia, &c. By Captain George Shelvoalte,' Commander o“he Speedwell, Recovery, &c., in t t Expedition. London, 1726: We had not had sight of one fish of any kind since we were come t ° the southward of the streights of Le Blair, nor one se t . bird, except a disconsolate black albitross, who acconl panied us for several days, hovering about us as if ? had lost himself, till Hatley (my second captain) observing, in one of his melancholy fits, that this . was always hovering near us imagined, from.his colour, that it might be some ill omen. That whic h , I suppose, induced him the; more to encourage Pl' superstition, was, the continued series of contrarl, tempestuous winds, which had oppressed us ever since we had got into this sea. But be that as it woul d ' he, after some fruitless attempts, at length shot t he Albltross, not doubting (perhaps) that we should lo g t a fair wind of it. Thi s h o p e , h owever ,. was t i° realised, for the bad weather continued until the • vessel was eventually cast away,' as the title-4 expresses it, on the I s l an d o f J uan F ern andes. While throwing out this hint as to the origin of t he story of the " Ancient M ar i ner ," th e e di tor ex press his unbounded admiration for the genius disphlP, • by Coleridge in its composition. Th e en ti re vole' of ballads is produced in a m anner wor th y o f the sub'ject ; it is reading for the chi mne y corner an d for tb a sub' greenwood glades—the very title-page;emblazonedl , gold, green, scarlet, blue, and amber, is symbolical, 1 the contents, and the appendix itself is pr e gnant interest. IN THE MATTER OF DR. HAMPDEN. CASE FOR THE OPINION OF SIR FITZROY ICSkli t ' DR. ADDA MS , Mn. A. J. STEPHEN S , AND MR. 1-4 ; DELEY.—The see of Hereford having lately becoo vacant, by the promotion of Dr. M usgrav e to di: archiepiscopal see of York, Dr. Ha m pd en was,, obedience to the Queen's mandate and letters missl i elected in his room by the Dean and Chapter... of Hereford. At a court, holden by the vicar- gene l,- of th 3 Archbishop of Canterbury, a t B ow chute"' on the 11th day of January last, for the PI; pose of confirming such election, in answer to t first citation three clergymen (two of whom hold be; nefices in the diocese of Hereford) c a me forward,, " their proctor, to oppose D - r. Hampden's confirmati ons _ and in due form of law tendered articl e s o f objecti° impeaching his orthodoxy. The Vicar-General re . fused to entertain the objections, or e ve n t o suffer th e opposers to appear; thereupon th e y a p p li e d to th e Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Arch bishop or his Vicar-General to hear them. That Court at first granted a rule nisi; but, cause being shown, the judges were equally divide' in opinion, and in consequence the application for th e mandamus fell to the ground. You are now requested, on the part of the 011 : jectors, to state your opinion whether they can of ought to take any, and what further steps, either by f a writ of error, appeal, petition t o th e House Lords, or otherwise, with a view, first to establis h their right to urge their objections in opposition l e Dr. Hampden's confirmation • and, if successfu l j then to try the question of his fitness, in point doctrine, to be confirmed and consecrated to the se e of Hereford. Clrizzio;.—As the Court of Queen's Bench II given no j u d gmen t i n t h e case, ne i t h er declaring lib! the law is, nor enabling the objectors to ascertain l's we cannot suggest any other means by which redre s4 can be secured. We are of opinion, that no writ of error lies front the late proceedings in the Court of Queen's Belie ll 4 wr it of remedy bein g con fi ne d t o cases w h ere th e " of mandamus has issued, and it is for this very reason that on other occasions, however unimportant (e i Lord Denman admitted in this judgment), where any of the judges have expressed the slightest doubt, the Court has always allowed the writ to go, to prev en t a failure of justice ; the l a t e s t a t ute o f 1 Willi am 1 v,r_A" c. 21, and 6 and 7 Vic., c. 67, h av i ng b een passe': expressly for the purpose of g i v i ng , b y means o f OP writ, more easy and effectual relief. We are also of opinion that no appeal lies in the, present case fr om th e sen t ence o f th e Vic ar -G e ne:lu to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the want of such a power of appeal having not only bees admitted both by the bench and the bar during the late argument in the Court of Queen's Bench, bu t having also been expressly declared by Mr. Justice Patteson, in his judgment. We think, however, that, under these circuol4 stances, it may be desirable for the objectors to pre' sent a petition to the House of Lords, setting forth the facts of the case, and praying their Lordships to take such steps as they may deem expedient for providing an adequate remedy, and for ascer taining what the law on this subject really is. As the, judges of the Queen's Bench are equally divide d in opinion, it is obvious that the law is at present doubtful, and that the Court is unable to remove that doubt ; and it is impossible to deny that the greatest inconvenience must exist so long as the doubt re' mains, for not only may the very same difficulty recur on every future confirmation of a bishop, but the validity of Dr. Hampden's episcopal acts and the exercise of his jurisdiction will be liable to be dis puted. Independently of these reasons, it may be presumed that the House of Lords will be disposed to entertain such a petition, as involving matters affect' ing its own privileges, for if Dr. Hampden's election be not duly confirmed, he has no right to a seat in :hat House, that right accruing only upon confirms" tion, when legally performed.
