Nothing could be sounder than the basis of reasoning upon which the advocate of the Primate and Metropolitan established his right to reject the objections raised by certain ecclesiastical dissentients. Instead of quib blir.g in any irrelevant manner over this exceedingly .. . abstruse and entangled point of politico-religious authority, the law officers of the Crown contended at once that the ceremony as performed at Bow Church was valid in every essential particular, because the whole of the proceedings, as ordained by the enact ment, are nothing less than the solemn forms of a ridiculous farce and the syllabus of a hollow pa geantry. The Solicitor- General, indeed, had :moral courage enough to declare as much before the assem bled judges, both lay and clerical. " Such statutes," said he, "are only a shadow and a sham." In a similar tone of candour, the Attorney-General as serted that the conduct of Dr. I3URNABY and the other Commissioners in proceeding with the confir mation of the Bishop Elect was in the strictest ac monetary code now in force. Whatever difficulties may at first intervene will, we are convinced, speedily vanish when the energies of his intelligent and enlightened mind are brought to bear on the point; and we fondly anticipate that the Honourable Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire will ere long assume that prominent part in the discussion and agitation of the question for which he is so eminently qualified. lie has already borne the most powerful testimony as to the injurious effects of fluctuations in the currency. In his evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons on the banking question in 1840, we find him stating his belief" that great evils have been occasioned to the trade and manufactures of the country in 1836 and 1837, and the subsequent periods, by fluctuations in the currency—greater evils, pecuniary, social, and moral, than by the direct failures of all the banks of issue since they were first established in this country." Impressed with such opinions, it cannot be supposed that the Hon. Gen tleman will continue to lend his powerful support to a system which has rendered such fluctuations of constant recurrence, producing on each successive visitation calamities of still greater intensity. The great evil at present lies in constituting that as the sole measure of value, of whi , .ll there is not a sufficiency to give a circulation adequate to the wants of the country. Mr. BBNNOCII has clearly shown how utterly impossible it would be for the Bank to satisfy all its liabilities in gold. lie says—" The bullionists issue motes to such an extent that their stock of gold available would not on an average pay over 9s. or lOs. in the pound." lie might carry the argument much further, and show that they would scarcely pay anything like such a dividend ; for it is not merely twenty six millions of notes that should be thus paid, but also the deposits, public and private, which amount to at least an average of fifteen millions sterling, in addition to the notes issued. The country might become bankrupt, and a universal ruin of all classes ensue from the abstraction of fifteen or twenty millions of gold, and that when we have accumulated and realised property to the amount of five thousand millions sterling. This is surely too absurd. The happiness and prosperity of the people is all made dependent on the possession of an article which cannot be produced at home. Their labour is made to depend upon the labour of Russian serfs in the Ural mountains, and we are ren- dered dependent on a foreign potentate, and that potentate the Russian Autocrat, for a supply of that which our own impolitic regulations make an article of absolute necessity. It is as if a law was enacted,that no corn should be sold in the country unless it was previously weighed or measured by a standard kept at certain public places, and by which, in the event of any great demand, the quantity required could not be ascertained• Granaries might be full, and the people starving ; ten thousand quarters of corn might be wanting to sup ply their wants each day, but although the corn was there, not more than five thousand quarters could be measured by the recognised standard. Ought people to starve under such circumstances, or would they not rather indignantly demand that new measures should be supplied sufficient for their wants? Most assuredly they would do so, and the Ministry that refused the concession of their just demands would speedily be driven from power. We are, however, subjected to an evil of this very descrip tion. There is an ample supply of labour, the only real capital—but our monetary code will permit of only one measure by which that labour can be disposed of, and that insufficient for the purpose. Our operatives must remain unemployed, wasting their energies in unproductive idleness, be cause there is a deficiency in the only recognized measure of value. Who is there who, in contracting for the remuneration he is to receive, calculates or thinks of the weight or fine ness of the gold in which he is to be paid ? As the able writer in the Westminster Review points out, it is not 5 dwts. 3 grs. of gold that buyers or sellers mean when they bargain for a pound sterling, but rather " that command over the necessaries and com forts of life which was conveyed by a sovereign or a one-pound note, in the average of transactions in which they have seen it emplod." This is the real fixed value that should be sought for. It is not that a pound sterling should always be satisfied with a fixed quantity of gold, but that the holder should obtain therefor as nearly as possible an equal pur chasing power. At present this cannot be the case. At one, period it will command 30 or 40 per cent. more than at another, and if a large addition should take place in consequence of the discovery of new and more productive mines, there would be a still greater change in this measure, which, according to the true principle, should be kept as unvarying and steady as possible. We heartily commend Mr. BENNOCII'B admirable letters to our readers, assuring hem that they will receive much valuable informatio 'rom the perusal. The whole of Sicily is in open insurrection. A letter from Naples of the 14th says— " The Vesuve steam-packet, which left Palermo yesterday, brings accounts of a general insurrection on the 12th in all the principal towns of Sicily. At Palermo the exasperation was so great that ladies threw from their windows boiling water and furniture upon the Dragoons who were charging upon the people. Thirty thousand citizens of Palermo, all armed, drove the troops out of the town, after having caused them great losses. The troops succeeded in reaching Monte Reale. We are assured that the in fantry of the line would not take part in the combat. The King of Naples, on receiving this news, was so much agitated that immediate bleeding was neces sary ; but in the evening he sent off 5,000 soldiers of the line in nine steamers from Sicily. On the 12th, the King's fete day, his Majesty went to the theatre of San Carlos, where some applause having been commenced by the friends of the Court, it was re sponded to by hisses from the boxes and pit. it is reported that the King's son, having demanded con cessions for the people, his been put under arrest. The Vesuve could not land her cargo et Palermo ; she merely landed a few passengers, and then left for Naples without waiting for her papers." Another letter states that at Messina the tri coloured flag was hoisted, and the people, after their victory, organized a civc guard. Another of the 15th says— " As early as the Bth inst. the Sicilians had ac quired the conviction that nothing would be done to relieve them of their burdens; but the period fixed upon for a demonstration, via., the 12th, was not anticipated. As the movement was to be spontaneous, every man held himself ready for action, waiting for the signal from Palermo. Without knowing precisely the nature and extent of the manifestations, the police foresaw the events by the calm and decided attitude of the population, and irritated it the more if possible by effecting on the night of the 9th the arrest of some of the first persons in Palermo. They are the same who, in the war demonstrations of the 27th of November, kept down the popular effervescence and restored to order, when the authorities declared themselves un able to do so, these impatient masses. Amongst the persons arrested the following are mentioned : Prince norenza, the Chancellor Amari and his brothers, Frances Ferrari, and twenty others, all equally respectable. Count Aceto had been de nounced, but when the police went to his house to arrest him, they fuund the doors barricaded, and they began to besiege the house the first floor of which is occupied by the English Consul. In the course cf their proceedings the arms of England got detached, and, falling upon the ground, were broken to pieces. The police, dreading the intervention of the representative of England, withdrew, amidst the hootings of the people ; M. Aceto was thus saved, and the Consul sent off a communication of the insult which his flag had received to the British Ambassador at Naples, who has demanded prompt reparation. All these circumstances were of a nature to keep up the energetic resolution of the people. Everything, however, was organized in silence. Manifestoes were seat off secretly from Palermo in all directions of the island. Everything had been provided for, and that part which each was to take had been arranged. The patriots, who were without arms and the necessary means for taking a part in the insurrection, were invited to go to Palermo, where they would immediately receive them. In the morning of the 12th, on hearing the salvos of artillery announcing the anniversary of the King's birthday, the population spread in masses through the city, and barricades were formed at several points, under the protection of armed men. The police totally gave way before this imposing movement; a part of the troops marched out of the town and took up a position at the foot of the Monte Pellegrino, the rest remaining in the forts. All remained in this state until eleven o'clock, but a few minutes after that hour a alrong detachment of cavalry debouched by the gate of Saint Antonia, to disperse an assem blage in front of the palace of the Intendant. The cavalry was hailed with cries of friendship and fra ternity, but they fired, and killed one man, wounding cordance with the law of the land as enforced since the latter days of Hemtv VIII. In the first place, the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman maintained the validity of the celebration upon the ground that both the election by the Dean and Chapter and the confirmation by the Archbishop or his Vicar-General were simply matters of form—matters of form, too, which were preserved up to the present time with a view to demonstrate the connexion between the Church of England and the ancient rites which had prevailed before the pet iod of the Reformation. As to the act of confirmation, he contended that the Pri mate only acted in it in a ministerial capacity. All discretionary power had been abstracted from him by the decree of Parliament, and since the communica tions between the SOVEREIGN of this country and the Supreme PONTIFF had ceased, the whole of the elec tive power was actually concentrated in the hands of the English Monarch. " The King or Queen Reg nant," he observed, " is put in the place of a judge, in the room of the Bishop of Rome, who formerly ex ercised that authority." The conge d'elire, therefore, which indicated the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford as a person eminently qualified to succeed Dr. MUSGRAVE, in consideration of his piety, wisdom, and learning, was literally a royal mandate elevating him to the episcopacy, rather than a suggestion to the judgments of Dean MEREWBTIIER and the canons residentiary of the cathedral of He reford. In like manner, the voice of the Apparitor- General was as idle and profitless as that of the mail king on the moorland babbling to the winds of heaven ; or, rather, as treacherous as those of the syrens, luring the clerical adventurers upon the crags of the law. In the second place, the Attorney ' General argued, that supposing the Vicar-General of the Archiepiscopal diocese of Canterbury had acted illegally in this matter, the remedy would have been by an appeal, and not by a writ of mandamus. Sup posing, therefore, that this plea alone were shown to be good, the present proceedings against the appoint ment of Dr. HAMPDEN would thereupon fall to the ground. In the third place, Sir JOHN JERYIS in sisted that, even taking for granted that it were definitively proved the matter then before the Lord Chief Justice was one for inquiry in that Court, it should have been instituted in a very different manner, namely, in conformity with the provisions of the Church Discipline Act. And, fourthly, he insisted that this was not a case in which a mandamus would lie. Such were the grounds of the opposition raised by the Attorney- General, and subsequently enforced by the declara tion of many distinguished authorities—by the statements of FERRARIS in his " Bibliotheca Cano nici," of LAUNCELOT in his " Institutes," of BURNET in his " History of the Reformation," and of AYLIFFR in his "Parrergom." The arguments advanced by the Solicitor General were of a kindred character, and went even so far as to assert his sincere belief, as a member of the Church of England, that " if this rule should be made absolute, there would be an end to the Church of England." As a decided " clincher" to the arguments propounded by the Attorney-General, the Learned Recorder of Hull quoted the declaration of one of the most illustrious jurisconsults of England — Sir WILLIAM BLACRSTONE—WhO, alluding to the statute of HeNsty VIII., has observed that it vests the nomination of a bishop in the Crown. In which case the votes of the Dean and Chapter are virtually nul lified, and the share taken by the Archbishop in the confirmation is rendered altogether and exclusively ministerial. From what has been already observed, whether by ourselves, by our Contemporaries, by letter-writers, or by advocates in court, it is sufficiently manifest that the statute-book in this, as in a thousand other instances, requires a rigid and deliberate revision. Its provi sions are not merely contradictory to an extent that is absolutely preposterous, but they have just placed his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY in a de cidedly unpleasant dilemma. Whichever way he might resolve upon moving he is threatened by a terrible chastisement. If he refused to listen to the dissentients—behold, he subjected himself to the penalties of premunire (see the arguments of Sir FITZROY KELLY). If he consented to listen to them —behold, he placed himself and his possessions in exactly the same jeopardy (see the arguments of Mr. MATTHEW DAVENPORT IIILL). Lord JOHN was his Charybdis, and Dean MEREWETHER his Scylla. Fortunately for him, the threatened punishments were as fictitious as the elective prerogatives of the Prebendaries of Hereford. As a reverend pamphleteer* has just observed, " although this statute looks so formidable on paper, it becomes comparatively harmless in fact." Let us hope, however, that its harmlessness will not lead to its retention on the statute-book, but that it will be forthwith removed, with the rest of the legislative rubbish with which the Constitution is encumbered, and by the preservation of which the movements of the political machine are impeded. It appears to us not less irrational to cherish such antique brutalities as. praminure and the penal enactment, than it would be to keep, as remembrances of the past, a scaffolding anciblock outside Whitehall, a pillory at Charing cross, and a d uc ki ng -stool on the banks o f t h e Ser pentine. The corresponde nce ----,--- On the vitally important subject of the Currency between Mr. Cm3D and Mr. BENNOCH, Which was contained in Th e Sure of yesterday, cannot fail to be deeply interesting to all classes . We are rejoiced t o fi nd that the former gentleman has, at length, directed his attention to th e question ; and th at he has requested inf l ormation as to the views and object of the "Anti-Gold-law League," from a person so competent as their respected and talented Chairman, Mr. BENNOCU.

The facts of the case were shortly these. The bill was filed by Robert Courtney Bell and Robert Chadfisld, on behalf of themselves and all other shareholders in the Direct London and Exeter Railway Company, except the defendants, against Lerd Mexborough and others, who were members of the committee of manage ment, and against Adolphus Capel, John Allen, and others, who were members of the pro visienel committee of the said railway company, but not members of the committee of management. The bill prayed an account of the assets of the com pany, and that each of the defendants might be com pelled to pay up the amount of the deposits on 150 shares, which had been allotted to each of them, and accepted by them, and that the same be held to be assets of the company. The defendants Capel and Allen demurred to the bill. Mr. Hunt and Mr. lletherington supported the bill. This was one of those railway speculations which failed in its object. The plaintiffs were shareholders who paid up the deposits on their shares. The defendants had allotted among themselves 150 shares to each, but they did not pay up the deposits. All the defendants except Allen and Capel signed the subscribers' deed and the Parliamentary contract. Capel and Allen were on the list of the provisional committee, but not on the committee of management ; and, on these grounds, they, by their demurrer, insisted that they were not liable to the consequences of the acts of the committee of management. But they must be held to be part ners with the plaintiffs to all intents and purposes, and the object of the bill was to fix them as share holders, liable to pay the deposits on the shares which they accepted. His Lordship in giving judgment, said that he was against the plaintiff upon all the points urged in his bill, and he therefore felt bound to dis miss the appeal with costs. 11113 GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V.

The case came before the Court to-day upon motion to dissolve an injunction which had been obtained from his Honour a short time since by 111 r. Bethell, on behalf of Dr. Hampden, restraining the de fendant from publishing in a separate form an article on 'l'homaa Aquinas, written by Dr. Hampden about fifteen years ago, for the " Encyclo ptcdia Metropolitania." When the injunction was applied for and obtained, it was stated that the article was given to the proprietor of the " Encyelopa3dia," on the distinct understanding that it should appear only in that work, and that the defendant, a book seller in Baker-street, Portman-square, who, it ap peared, was the present proprietor of the " Encyclo pterlia," had lately announced his intention to publish a separate edition of the article, contrary to the Bishop's remonstrance. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Bolt appeared in support of the motion to dissolve the injunction, and Mr. Bethell and Mr. Fleming to oppose it. At the conclusion of the arguments, The VICE-CIIANCELLOR gave judgment, ordering the injunction to be continued, and refusing to direct any trial at law, considering it clear that there was nothing to try. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The report of the Federal representatives in the canton of Valais to the Directory, dated 12th Jan uary, 1848, clearly exposes the intrigues of M. GUIZOT and of the Council of 'War of the Sonder bund, and shows the base attempts they made to coerce the authorities of the Valais into an uselees resistance to the Federal troops, in order to give GUIZOT an opportunity of interfering in support of the Jesuits.

Switzerland (he called himself the agent of his Ex cellency M. Guizor),•while M. lIAmorT was con ducting the intrigues .between M. BOIS LE ComrTE, and the Sonderbund chiefs. The Bishop's Palace at Sion was the seat of those intrigues ; 'rom thence proceeded the orders to the priests to preach the holy war and the destruction of heretics, and to excite by every possible method the fanaticism of the ignorant. The French agents never took the direct route either to Sion or Lucerne. Their usual route was through Savoy, by the road of the Simplon to Sion, and from Sion through the Furca pass to Lucerne. None' of these diplomatic agents had any direct communication with the Council of tate of the canton of Valais tteir com munications were all with the me-nbers of the Council of the Sonderbund, with the Bishop of SION, or with the priests. The activity of these in triguers was redoubled in the month of November, and after the defeat of the Sonderband at Lucerne, M. llAmoriT and M. DE LA FENESTRE joined SING • WART MULLER, and the remains of the Council of War of the Sonderbund at Andermatt, and pro ceeded with them through the Furca pass into the canton of Valais. On their arrival at Brigue, where they were joined by BERNARD MEYER, it was deter mined that the Council of War of the League should establish itself there, and that in order to legitimatise its position, it should demand of the Council of State of the canton of Valais authority so to do, the Council of State, in case it should grant such authorization, taking upon itself to guarantee that it would for four days maintain a resistance to the advance of the Federal troops, in order to enable the Council of the Sonderbund to demand foreign armed intervention. The demand was accordingly m ade, but the Council of State refused to accede to it, on the ground that they would not expose the canton to complete ruin, by making it the seat of a war which presented not the slightest chance of success ; and that, moreover, the troops of the Valais were fatigued, and had ma nifested unmistakeable symptoms of insuborbination. The Council of State was accused, with vehemence, by the priests, the Sonderbund, and the foreign in triguers with cowardice and treason. The Monks of St. Bernard, in particular, were loud in their denunciations of the Council of State. On the 27th of November M. DU LA FaisssTaz had an audience of the Council of State for the first time, on which occasion the Council of State categorically refused to grant the required authorization to the Council of War of the Sonder bund to fix the seat of its operations at Brigue. The agent of M. GuizoT was thunderstruck. He accused the Sonderbund of cowardice, declared that the Swiss were a fallen race—that diplomacy was com promised by its endeavours to sustain such persons— that they were unworthy of help, &c. &c. Finding all endeavours useless, he left for France on the 28th of November. On the same day an envoy from Prussia arrived, who promised the Sonderbund foreign assistance if they would resist for some days. The Canon RIVAL, in the sitting of the Council of " M.

Bertin de Veaux cannot be believed, and M. Guizot is a victim to calumny !" The M. BERTIN DR VEAUX alluded to above is the principal proprietor of the Journal des Dads, and the intimate friend, consecpsently, of Al. GUIZOT. The same journal contrasts the tone of the notes of Sir STRATFORD CANNING to the Swiss Diet with that of the note of Bois LE COMTE, characterising the former as a model of good temper and good sense, and the latter as promulgating false doctrines in a menacing tone.

Mr. Brown now appeared with the child, an in telligent looking girl, about eight years of age, and stated that he was prepared to abide the decision of the Court. Mr. WILLS put in the affidavit of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, which stated that in the winter of 1689, Mrs. Ramsay came with the child, then scarcely three wookg old, to their house in Lynn, and said she was the wife of Mr. Henry Thwaits, the brother of Mrs. Brown, and required shelter for herself and infant Mr. Brown gave it, but ascertained that she was not married to his brother-in-law. Subsequently Mrs. Ramey left, taking with her the child, and came to London, but discovering that she was earning her livelihood by singing in the street, he offered to adopt the child as his own, and she consented to his doing so. The child had accordingly been under his charge till last March, when, through a temporary dispute with his wife, he was induced to bring the child to London, and place her in the custody of Mrs. Buckingham, an actress at the Ilaymarket Theatre, and the sister of the mother of the child. Learning, however, that the child was anxious to return to his house, and that Miss White—who was an actress at the Olympic Theatre, playing under the name of Mrs. Ramsey—meditated bringing her up to the stage, at the request of the putative father, his wife's brother, he ,endeavoured to and did receive possession of--the child. The child was not anxious to return to the house of Mrs. Buckingham, and therefore it was hoped the Court would decide that she should remain where she was. Mr. Justice W T I.IITMAN said the only objection he had to making such a decision was, the circumstance of Mr. Brown having separated from his wife.

The committee say that the law is clear in its distinction between the right to meet and the right to associate. A meeting is for a temporary purpose, and confined to the expression of thoughts and opinions. Au association is a conti nuous act, and it is against associations as implying action that the law is directed. The dinner will not take place until. the debate on the Address is over, in order to afford Deputies the opportunity of being pre sent, and then it will be seen whether Government will push matters to extremities by dissolving the meeting by force. If so, an appeal will be made to the tribunals for a judicial decision upon the law as it stands. Mr. WILLS said that was not so. Mr. Justice WIGIITMA.I%, having questioned the child, said it appeared to him to be her wish to re main with Mr. and Mrs. frown, and as both the supposed father and the mother had for seven years allowed her to live with them without making any objection to it, he thought it best to accede to her wish. The writ was therefore discharged. COMMON PLEAS.- - THIS DAY.) Intelligence has been received from Algiers to the 15th inst.
