CHINA. (From the China Moil of Nov. 25.) farewell general order liss been issued by Major- Tat d'Aguilar en the embarkation of the 18th al Irish, which sailed for Calcutta on Monday (the 22d), carrying with them general esteem for • professional and personal qualities. his gallant corps, the last of the old garrison, detained here atter the. arrival of its relief, to weight to the policy of the Government, the Fubject of which has been to convince the Chinese Lorities at Canton, that if they do not restrain the dace from acts of insult and aggression, the , en's Government will exert its power to enforce ection and respect to its own subjects, a policy ch has been fully justified by the result. The srture of the Royal Irish may therefore he viewed larking a period when doubts about Keying's in ation or ability to control his countrymen are 'ing away and giving place to mutual confidence ween the Ministers of the two nations. (From the China Mail of Nov. 2g.) timeworn IN KAKKGAR.—An imperial edict has ply been issued, from which it appears that a Ma nedan chief, whose name in Chinese is Gan-tseih has raised the standard of rebellion at Kasbgar, the extreme west of Chinese Tartary. Poo-yen-tae, vernor-General of Shanee and Kan-sub, has in 'sequence been dispatched there, with the title of rnmander-in-Chief for the tranquillization of the eat; and Yih-shan, a nephew of the Emperor, who a sent to Canton as Commander-in -Chief during English war, has been appointed his coadjutor, th the title of Lieutenant-General (Tsan-tsars.) Prom our Manilla correspondent we learn that the p Anne and Jane, of London, and bound for Hong )nity was totally lost on the island of Euban, at s entrance of Manilla Bay, during a severe gale the ith and Bth instant. We regret to say that a Btienger named Rogers and the cook of the ship re drowned. CANTON MARKET.—Noir. 26. DdrORTS. The market had been in a depressed state previous the arrival c..f the Overhand ?Mail, and the advioes en received have caused a further depression. Our PPlirit, want of confidence among the Chinese, and • anxiety of importers to realise, have altogether ruled to produce a general decline in prices. 111.1'011.TS. Teas Congou, there have been fewer pur- Lases made of this kind during the month than any one of the past five, though the ship etas, have been on a larger scale, and the exports ill show a large increase on the corresponding pe od of last year. About 30 chops are reported as sold 21 to 2.5 toAs far Atoning ; 17 to 19 taels Ho -sw; 17 to tfrtaelt Kai-sa-on ; and 14 to 18 tittle T SUN, LON DON;' for Sinelm-'ial. These quotations aro lower than toose of our last report; but though prices have a downward tendency , a decli ne has not taken place to the extent of the tlifference, as an inferior quality is n ow arriving. About 60 chops are in market. Of old s'x have been sold at 121 to 15 taels, and 12 remain. Of Souchong 1,50 chests have been settled at 22 to 23 taels for fair to good, and 16 to 18 taels for ordinary ; about 10,000 chests are in stock. For Flowery Pekoes lower rates would be accepted, nut there i, no demand. Of Scented Orange Pekoe fully 1,500 halt chests have been settled at 21 to 23 taels fur fair to good, and 25 to 28 taels for fins ; and scented caper, 10,000 boxes are reported at 16 to 22 taels. The market is now cleared of the finest qualities, but ordinary and m iddling qualities can be made to meet any demand. Of plain orange pekoe 3,000 half chests have been purchased at 12 to 15 taels, and only a small stock is left. Of plain caper about 1,000 boxes of very inferior quality is left. Of the first crop of Nina Yongs the market is cleared; about 2,000 half chests of the second crop is in stock. Greens—An exceedingly brisk demand has existed thronhout the month, and most of the chops were settled immediately on arrival of the musters. The desire to get the tea of the new crop early to the American markets, caused much competition, and the opening rates have been fully supported in all qualities suitable for the United States. The same remarks Apply to the fine Hyson and Gunpowder for Eng lund; indeed, for the latter sort, higher rates have been paid than were paid for the like qualities shipped later in the season. The crop is of good quality, strong, and well flavoured, and many of the finer chops not so highly coloured, but paler, and more like the natural hue of the leaf. We quote—l oung Hyson, Taeping country 24 to 26 taels ; Moyune country, cargo quality, 29 to 31 taels, do. good cargo 32 to 34 taels, do. superior to fine 36 to 44 taels, do. finest 46 to 65 taels ; 'Tyson fair to good, 32 to 42 taels, fine to finest 48 to 65 taels . ; at which prices some considerable pur chases have been made. Imperial and gunpowder in common and middling qualities no transactions of consequence have taken place, the teamen not being willing to accept the prices offered. Fine and finest Hyson flavour have been taken freely at 50 to 53 to 62 to 65 for England. Hyson Skin has also been taken freely for the United States. We quote— Moyune country cargo at 15 to 17 taels, ditto good 18 to 20 taels, ditto superior 21 to 24 taels, fine to tinest 26 to 30 taels; in Twankays no transactions, and prices nominal at rates akove remunerating ones to any buyer. The crop is very small. Fully 100,000 half. chests of all sorts have arrived, of which about 80,000 have been settled, Exchanges—Baring's credits, 4 41. Oriental Bank, 4 4f. Accepted Company's bills on Bengal, 216 to 21$ rs., and holders generally refuse to sell at the latter rate. Bullion—Mexican dollars, 1 per cent. pm. Gold has fallen to 24 dolls. 30c. Sycee for duty, 3 per cent. pm. Freights—To London, 4/. 10s., and to the United States, 16 to 1$ dolls. per ton of AO feet. Tonnage plentiful. MARKET NEWS.-(THIg DAY.) CORN -E XCHAN GE—(MONDAY.) Last week tl:e arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise, were on a full average scale ; those of Barley and Malt tolerably good ; but those of all other articles of home produce, including Flour, were small. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts of Oats were on the increase, but by no means extensive, the time of year considered. The imports from abroad comprised 5,920 quarters of Wheat, 2,454 ditto of Barley, 1,770 ditto of Oats, 1,213 ditto of Beans, and 831 ditto of Peas. No foreign Flour came to hand. From Essex and Kent, the receipt■ of Whitt fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a full average scale. The arrivals from other quarters were comparatively small. The stands some what heavily filled with samples of both Red and White ; yet the market—as the attendance of buyers was large, opened steadily for all kinds of ng lish Wheat at last week's quotations. Subsequently, however, the demand slackened, and the rates suffered a decline in those obtained on this day se'nnight, of ls. per quarter, and a total clearance was not effected. With foreign Wheat we were by no means heavily supplied. Selected qualities were in moderate request, at full prices. o.herwile, the foreign Wheat trade was heavy, but we can notice no fall in prices. The general quality of the samples was ♦ery inferior, notwithstand ing the supply of Barley was moderately good, that article nas in better request, and, in some few instances, selected parcels, fit for malting purposes, were is per quarter dearer. The late imports of Foreign have turned out very fine. We were but moderately supplied with Malt; nevertheless, the trade ruled exceedingly inactive, at barely late rates. Fine sound Oats were quite as dear, but the value of the out-of-condition sorts WAS with difficulty supported. The transactions were wholly retail. In Beans, scarcely any busi ne,s was doing, at previous currencies. The sale for Peas was dull, yet the currencies were mostly supported. Indian Corn, Meal, and Rye Flour were neglected. Fine Flour roved off steaslily ; other kinds slowly, at last Monday's figures. cuitimiscr rEit. IMPERIAL MICAH - ÜBE.

Naassluys Calve*. ... 15 Total 136 ... 800 ... 29 The arrivals at the outports, owing to the severity of the weather in Holland, have been on a very limited scale; and wo shall, doubtless, have to report trifling importations for some time hence. The supply of fo reign stock here, to-day was very trifling, and almost wholly the refuse of last week. The Beasts and Sheep —in the quality of which there was a slight improve ment—sold freely, at, ia some instances, a slight ad vance in the quotations. With home-fed Beasts, we were very scantily supplied, !moth as respects number and (play. The attendance of both town and country buyers being good, and the weather favourable to slaughtering, the demand for all kinds of Beef was somewhat briik, at an advance in the currencies paid on this day se'nnight, of fully 24 per albs, and at which most of the animals were disposed of. A few of the prirnest Scots sold at 55., but ;he more general top quotation for Beef was 4s 10 , 1 per Albs. The arrival. of Beasts from the north consisted of about 400 short horns ; trom the eastern, western, and midland counties, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, Etc. ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 180 horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the supply was principally derived from the neigh bourhood of the metropolis. For the time of year, the supply of Sh.cp was unusually small, as will be seen on r-fertlice to our returns at foet ; hence, the Mutton trade was very firm, at a rise in value of quite 2d per Sibs. The highest general figure for the best old Downs, which were exceedingly scarce, was is 4d, but a few of them sold at 5s 6d per Sibs. Very few Calves were on offer, and prices ruled extremely high for the season. There was a fair sale for Pigs, at full rates of currency The supply was by no means large.

Since Monday last rather large supplies of country killed meat have been received up to these markets in good condition ; and thoso on offer slaughtered in the metropolis have proved seasonably large. Although a full average amount of business has been transacted in most kinds of meat the quotations have, in some in stancest had a downward tendency. Scarcely any foreign meat has appeared on sale.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of i'otatoes have been tolerably goool in the past week, the trade has ruled Active, at, in most instances, an advance in the quota tions of from 3s to 10. per ton.

Last week's imports of Wool into London were com posed of 1,013 bales from Taganrog, 560 ditto from Sydney, 108 ditto from Monte Video, and 161 ditto from the Cape. The quantity of Wool offering in the private market considerably exceeds the demand, which must be considered heavy, at barely stationary prices. TALLOW. This market has been in a very excited state during the past week, and prices have considerably advanced. The deliveries wYre upwards of 4,000 casks. P. Y.

CITY, QUARTER TO VIJII - 1 F. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Satutrasy: el osed rather heavily. Sales, 9,000 bales, of wkich ,000 we re American, to the trade, at 41d. to 5.11 r lb. Railway Shares further improved, and priOn were higher. As was fully expected, several additional fail , tees are reported in the 'mounts received by express in anti sipation of the overland mail. The state of trade was 'tory de pressed ; but in China the feeling towards the english was becoming more amicable, aui this, so fai, ", may promote business. The West India steamer has not been anncolneemi The affairs of Messrs. de Bruyn, of Ausster,damk, are expected to be wound up favourably, and the eel ate shows a dividend of 10s. in the pound, making lib, tel allowances, and assuming evsn that the work. arc not carried on. The advance in the Publie Securities to-day has bet 'n very decided, amounting to full half per oent. compel toi with the rise on Saturday. The abandauce of moo dry which is now offered at the extremely low rate of per cent. per annum for short periods, upon the semi ty of Stock and Exchequer-bills, induces continuo. la purchases, and it is said that the insurance office have bought to some extent for delivery. • To-morrow being a transfer day will better determine this point. It is curious to witness such an accumulation of money at a time when the discount of second class commercial bills continues difficult; bat it is to be expected that as confidence gradually revives, and failures become infrequent, the temptation of a higher rate of interest will not be without its in fluence in facilitating the operations of trade. In deed, the advance in Consols will be felt ere long throughout the country, and will improve to some extent the position of the houses which when they stopped payment were large holders of produce. Consols opened at 84 and have since advanced to 894 1. Ex chequer-bills have touched 265. to 295. premium, and India Bonds 15s. to 20s. premium. Bank Stock is 1981 to 200, and India Stock 236. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have realised 891 to 04 and the Three per Cents. 881 to 891. South Sea Stock is at 95k. Long Annuities have been 81. In the Foreign Market more business has been done, probably owing to the buoyancy of the English Funds. Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds have advanced to 201 1, and the Three per Cents. to 301 1. The Passive were at 44. Portuguese Four per Cents. realised 26, and Brazilian 811. Mexican Stock has been at 11 to ; Peruvian at 381 to 391. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 34 to 1, and the Four per Cents 85 to 1.

The statute said the election was to take 1 a great triumph to the :enemies of the Churelsees ..... land.

The King was put in the place of purpose of showing that, even if the Crown had not a judge, in the room of the Bishop of Rome, nominated a proper person for election to the see; of who formerly exercised that power. The ith Hereford, the Crown had been invested by Act of Pare section went on to say, that the Bishop liament with powers far above those of the Dean and should be inducted with certain ceremonies ; the Chapter, and that it was their business and their duty to Archbishop was commanded to " induct and conse- submit to the will of the Crown, and had no right to crate" the Bishop elect without seeking any further entrench th upon its prerogatives. There was no au power than that given by the King. The Arch- a inoeriotoyrse as had for the adoption of such instance, and he felt convinced the Court would been pursued in the present bishop must therefore confirm, no opportunity occurred for objecting. The election was then never sanction it by making this rule absolute. The stated to be good "to all intents and pur- Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read the statutes poses ;" but his Learned Friend contended that of the time of Henry 111., for the purpose of showing they must inquire into the process of the election, that there was no authority in the English canons for but no inquiry could take place, looking at the con- the present proceedings, and that the power which the inferior tr auth T or h i e ty r , was struction of these words. The old jurists said that Pope . often _ then exercised by his grace alone of inquiry might take place, whereas the Act strictly a . p a p t orn a tiag oin b tme h n ors, b without inf th? confirmation of either t h the Crownthat laid nol: downthis the principles of ? those w asi forbade it. Supposing the rule were made absolute, Chet now the Court could not inquire into the matter. What was to happen ? Could the election be set aside ? It who might come in and oppose the nomination of the could not, for the Act said the election was good "to all Crown, enditheir;Lordehips might depend upon it, if they w canon v°s I ePd rule i n intents and purposes." Why, if the confirmation opened the door:and laid a rule stating who might oppose were delayed for ever, there never would be a Bishop and who not, they would give an impetus to every person of Hereford, for the election could not be set aside. who might feel himself aggrieved to put forth his oppo. If the parties were entitled to appear (he was taking sition and vent his spleen. But what was there in the the strong es t possible case against himself) there present ca e? Literally nothing; there was literally no could be no alteration. The election was properly cognitio causer. The Crown had issued its leto e transacted ; it was certified by the seal of the missive for the el( ction of a proper person as Dean and Chapter , and Dr. Hampden was to all I3isho , of the See of Hereford to the Deau intents and purposes Bishop of Hereford.Th letters and Chapter. e That indivi dual • They had selected a proper person, had been at approved of by the Crown, patent commanded confirmation, and therefore thepr esented to the Aroh plaintiffs had no right to inquire into the fitness of the and bih t h at f fur confirmation, had b n e d en n person had a right tc person. Then, the ith clause of the Act stated, if s o p p ose ep that e confirmation , accor e din to the canon law. the Dean and Chapter did not proceed to the election For the purpose of supporting this proposi t i on , t (he was told that if they had elected another person, Learned Gentleman referred to the authorities of Bishop that the election would have been valid), that after Gibson, and in concluding a most excellent and learned the expiration of the alloted time they would be sub- speech, submitted to the Court, that what was now asked jected to the form of prmmunire. The statute treated was a damage and a wrong to the prerogative of the the election and confirmation as one and the same. Crown, and: that the Court had not the power to grant They had an instance of this in the time of Philip and it. All that the Archbishop had done was in obedient Mary. Burnet reported the case of Cardinal Bell, to the commands of his Royal Mistress, and that he hat who refused to take his high office until the morning n yr o as o n th o e t r to al t t l e i na ß tiv h e than h to submit to those commands. It of the execution of his predecessor, and he was si e i . o t p th e e lo oT e po n s u ilo t n h at, protested, i n fact but tI the act of the Arc hbi shop elected by a bull in the ancient way. The Learned commands of the Q ueen an d h er roya l prerogat i ve were Counsel then proceeded to quote numerous extracts for to be codsidered but as dust in the balance, when com the purpose of proving that by the ancient law of this pared to the constitutions of John de Otho, and the ether country the Crown possessed the right of presentation authorities they had adverted to. to vacant deaneries and bishoprics. Ho contended that Mr. M. D. limn followed on the same side, and sub-. the Court had no power by mandamus to interfere with mitted that the statute of Henry VIII. laid down the the canon law of the country. Gibson stated in his rules and regulations by which bishops were to bo " Codex," in a note on letters missive, that the only elected and confirmed, and that those provisions having choice left to the electors was, either to obey the letters been complied with, the Court was not called upon to missive, or incur the penalties of prmmunire ; look to any earlier statute. Nothing would have and that the whole proceeding was only a seem- shielded the Archbishop from the penalties of prmmunire ing election. It was most absurd for his Learned if he had retused, after what had taken place, to confirm Friend to endeavour to maintain that the the bishop. It was not his duty to inquire into the acts whole confirmation was void,Ebecause the citation was of the Crown, or the propriety of them; all he had to not responded to. The whole of the proceedings up to the do was to discharge that ministerial duty which his period of confirmation were strictly in accordance with office called upon him to perform. The Learned Gentle the various Acts of Parliiament on the subject, and at that man said ho would now refer to an authority for whom stage all further opposition was precluded. The Learned they all entertained the most profound respect—Sir Counsel then proceeded to read an extract from the William Blackstone, who, speaking of the statute MS. of Sir James Marriot, found in Trinity Hall, Cam of Henry the Eighth, said that it vested the bridge, which stated, under the head "confirmation," that nomination of a bishop in the Crown. Sir that confirmation must be disputed within twenty-one William Blackstone was not in the habit of publishing days, or in default incur prmmunire ; that then there sentiments which he had not formed with the most ma needed no citation, of opposers, nor were they to be heard ture consideration, and hence his opinion on the matter if they should offer any opposition. Lancelotus, who was entitled to the utmost weight. The appointment of wrote a very excellent work on the canon law, and all bishops were vested in the Crown ; but until within which was referred to in a judgment of Chief Justice the last few years the state of the Isle of Man Whitelocke, stated that the election was not perfected must have been dreadful, inasmuch as the appointment until confirmation, and until confirmation had taken to the bishopric of Sodor and Man was vested in a sub place the name of the party was not changed, the jest.—(Laughter.) Who opposed the sentiments of bishop elect being as it were embryo in titer& Blackstone ? Literally the opposition raised against His Learned Friend had said if this citation his view justified him iu calling it nothing. The was a mere idle form, why was it continued, Learned Gentleman then referred to some other autho and why were the parties pronounced contumacious cities, and was continuing his arguments when if they did not appear? It was not for him to Lord DENMAN interrupted him at half-past four endeavour to account for the reasons which in• o'clock, by saying that they would hear the remainder ducod those parties who had gone from the Roman Ca- of his arguments to morrow. tholic over to the Protestant religion; having obtained The Court then rose. the more important posts they might have been satisfied to have kept up certain forms which they knew did not in point of fact interfere with the prerogative of the Crown. It was not essential to inquire into the reasons why it was retained; if he had satisfied the Court that upon the continuation of the statute the Arch bishop had no right to enter into an inquiry, an enquiry which could have no effect upon an election which was binding to all intents and purposes, and the exercise of which would have the effect of causing a spiritual cessation of the duties of the see. Tho Crown was the head of the Church, and as such was the best judge of the fitness of the ministers for the Church. Standing there as he did, in the office of Attorney-Ge neral, he felt desirous of obtaining the judgment of the court in favour of the prerogative of the Crown ; buthe still felt it necessary to take other objections to the course pursued:by his Learned Friend. His first objection we., that the Court possessed no power to issue mandamus in a case affecting the spiritual courts. Lord De:sues—The ground upon which the appli cation was made, and upon which the rule was granted, r. as that the confirmation was not complete, and that the matter was left, incomplete by the Queen's officer, Led upon hearing the case it occurred to me whethi r it would be competent for the Court to issue mandamus to the Archbishop, should he refuse to proceed to the confirmation. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that he apprehended the Court had net the pun er in that case to issue man • damus; the statute itself provided a remedy for such a case, which was prmmunire. The whole of the objections which might be urged against the Bishop elect on the ground of his age, of his bodily infirmities, or any tither ground named in the canon law, could be dispensed with by a postulate from the Pope, and the Crown now stood in the place of the Pope ; and it was clear, therefore, that whatever the Pope could do the Crown could also do, and if they considered Dr. Hampden a fit and proper per son to appoint as bishop, no person had any power to interfere in such appointment. The grounds upon which the opposition rested were not of a temporal nature, but purely spiritual ; the affidavits stated erroneous doctrine, and it was not competent for the Court to interfere in such matters. There was the Dean and Chapter to attend to every piece of idle tattle and report which might be taken up by persons who had not taken the trouble of inquiring into the matter. Suppose this Court should entertain such a case, the whole affair would put him in mind of a famous trial they had all heard of, where one " Faithful " was put upon his trial, and " Blindman," the foreman, said im mediately, " I see plainly this man is a heretic." Then there was another objection. The Bishop had been con firmed—he was now a bishop—as much a bishop as he could by law be made. What could be dine ? The Bishop could not revoke it ; he bad acted according to the letters patent, and the canon law would not allow of any such revocation. The Court could not surely interfere in suck a matter. Then, again, where were the precedents for applying for mandamus in the case ? He had not been able to find any, sad his Learned Friend had referred to none. In none of the cases which could be cited could any one be found in which the Court had interfered with the spiritual concerns of any diocese. But the whole ques tion before the Court was to be decided upon the prin ciples of canon law, which were entirely toreign to the principles which prevailed in the common law courts. His Learned Friend was wrong in comparing this .Coart to a court of magistrates. In the latter there was no appeal, whereas, in the former, all their acts were capable of being reviewed by a superior Court. It was a well-known rule of practice that a mandamus to a magistrate compelling him to perform any acts would not shield him from the consequences thereof. ll' this rule should be made absolute, and the Archbishop decline to confirm, it would be his painful duty, es Attorney-General, to inform his Grace that h e had o b u r l y brought himself within the penalties of prmmunire. W etter and Court, then, consent to interfere i n . this m com e ,... ng issue the Queen's writ to the/Archbishop, the p tit him to act in opposition to the prerogative o f . Quee n. confident that the Court would not act in He felt fully such a manner. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL followed on the same side. He would be quite content to leave the case with such arguments as had been brought forward by his Learned Colleague and Friend; but he felt it his duty to address a few words to the Court upon a most important subject, and one which involved the highest and most important interests of this country ; fur he really believed, 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 by law established, and the door would be opened to every sort of interference with the prerogative of ap pointing the bishops, and he believes that henceforth there would not be an appointment of a single bishop which would not be subject to some impertinent inquiry or other, which might be suggested by the restlessness or peevishness of any men who considered that they had an y grounds of complaint or interest in the question. lie, for one, was not ashamed of' confessing the diffi culty in which they were placed, in consequence of the statutes of Henry VIII. not having been framed with truth, soberness, and honesty. He was not ashamed of stating that such statutes were only a shadow and a sham, and he thought no harm would result to the interests of the Church of England if these proceedings should lead men's minds to consider calmly what was the real utility of such legislation. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to refer to the precedent quoted by his Learned Friend on the other side, of the confirmation of Bishop Montagu. With respect to the opposition of 1)r. Hyde to that confirmation, he was very sorry not to be able to speak in terms of approbation at this distance of time. lie would rater the Conrt to a letter by Archbishop Usher, in which he warned the Government not to re pose confidence in such a man, for that he would not fail to turn upon them in the same manlier as he had upon the other party. The recent oppo sition by Mr. Gutteridge to the confirmation of of the newly-elected Bishop of Manchester 1 clearly to what an extent this mode of opption ! w old to such a ' be carried if the door was to be thrown op n e ded to read course. The Learned Counsel then p the tim e of Edward the various Acts of Parliament from st t lenry ,VIII , C. 20, 111. up to the time of,tho statute 2 . _hi . contended of bishops, and on the subject of the elec tion possessed that whatever power was by the Pope in this country the Crown o f En gland d id, b y the statute of Henry VIII., i nco rporate ncorporate into its own prerogative; and that the Crown was not to be interce p ted in the exercise of this prerogative; an d that the motion of his L earne d Friend it' successful would be an interception of this kingly prerogatim and ought pot therefore to be granted.

QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAY). :Sittings in Banco before the LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE and Justicies PATTISON, COLERIDGR, and EARLS.) TEE QUEEN V. TEE ARC/IEI6IIOP OF CANTERBURT. It having become generally known that the argu ments with respect to the right of the opposers of the Rev. Dr. Hampden, Bishop of Hereford, to oppose his confirmation, would be taken to-day, the galleries and body of the Court were crowded some time before the Learned Judges took their seats on the bench. A number of ladies were in one of the galleries. The attendanee of barristers was more numerous than on any occasion within our recollection—in fact, so many attended that a vast number were obliged to occupy the side avenues. Every available place was occu pied. The majority of those present, with the excep tion of the barristers, were clergymen, some of whom were accommodated with seats beside the Masters. The Right Rev. the Dean of Hereford occupied a seat in the jury-box amongst the short-hand writers. The counsel for the Crown are the Attorney and Solicitor-General, Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. Waddingt on with whom were Dr. Bayford and Dr. Twiss ; in: support of the rule Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Baddeley, Mr. Peacock, Mr. A. J. Stevens, and Dr. Adams. The Learned Judges took their seats a few minutes after ten o'clock. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose and said he had to show cause against a rule which had been obtained by his Learned Friend, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, calling upon Ms Grace the Archbishop of Canter bury, and the Vicar-General, to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue to command and direct them at a Court to Le duly holden for the confirmation of the Rev. Dr. Renn Dickson Hampden to permit and admit certain persons to be heard in opposition to the said election and conirmation. Before he proceeded to adduce arguments in opposition to the issuing of such a writ he had to state that his Learned Friend and himself had deemed it desirable, with the permission of the Court, to have the assistance of several of their Learned Friends from Doctors' Commons, whom his Learned Friend and he hoped the Court would hear. Lord DENMAN—We shall be very happy to hear one on each side. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL went on to say that he appeared to oppose the application under instruc tions from the Government, but, at the same time, with the full consent and concurrence of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. So many objections presented themselves to his mind against the granting of the writ that he felt some difficulty in placing theta before the Court ; perhaps the most advisable course for him to adopt would be to follow the course traversed by his Learned Friend. and tracing the question, as he had done, from its origin, afterwards dealing with the construction of the Statute of Henry VIII., and offering, as he went on, various objections, many of which he was con fident must occur to the mind of the Court. The allidavit on which the application of his Learned Friend was based, statedthat there being a vacancy in the See of Hereford, a conge d'elire was issued, pointing out Dr. Hampden, after the manner laid dowa in Gibson's Codex, as a fit person, by his piety, wisdom, and learning, to fill the vacant office, and commanding the Dean and Chapter of Hereford to elect him under various pains and penalties; that the election of Dr. Hampden took place, and was duly certi fied to the Crown and to the Bishop elect under the seal of the Dean and Chapter of the dio cese ; that her Majesty then issued letters patent, in the terms prescribed by the statute, to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, commanding him to confirm the said election, and to consecrate the person of the Rev. Dr. Hampden ; it then stated that the Arch bishop appointed his Vicar-General and several com missioners to carry out these injunctions, that they were carried out, and that ultimately what was termed the " definitive sentence of confirmation" was agreed to, but complained that certain parties, who had 'valid grounds of opposition to the confirma tion were not permitted to appear when all persons having anything to urge against the proceedings were cited publicly to do so, and if they did not appear judged contumacious. It must not, he said, be lost sight of that the objections did not oppose Dr. Hamp- 1 den in person= : their opposition was founded upon two books published by Dr. Hampden, in which, they contended the Rev. Gentleman avowed his purpose to be to illustrate the increasing effects of dogmatism in theology, and expressed himself in favour of the abolition of canonical forms in the Book of Common Prayer. Therefore it was not founded upon any thing in the election itself, but upon the books pub lished a long time ago, one of which they stated had been condemned in Convocation at Oxford. Ilis grounds of opposition were these :-Ist, That the elec tion and confirmation Here mere matters of form, and that the Archbishop in the business of confirmation simply acted ministerially; secondly, assuming that the Archbishop was not merely fulfilling a ministerial office, as he contended he was by reason of the statute, and that his office was a judicial one, he con tended that the remedy in a matter of this sort, it there had been any mistake, was by an appeal, and sot by a writ of mandamus, for the Archbishop had not exceeded the scope of his duty. In fact, in this case there was the substitution of a mandamus for an appeal, and an appeal to that court did not lie. Thirdly, if it was a quasi judicial inquiry, he con tended that this Court had no mean s . of inves tigating this peculiar charge, and that if the matter was one for inquiry, that it should have been instituted in conformity with the provisions of the Church Discipline Act, which pre scribed the form of proceeding. The Court of the Archbishop, if a quasi judicial tribunal had, no more right to try this case than it had to try a mere tem poral offence; and, fourthly, that this was not a case in which a mandamus would lie. This first objection depended upon the construction to be put upon the Act of Henry the Eighth, which dealt with ca nonical elections. This also raised the question which were the books of the statute and common law on which they could depend. The Learned Counsel then referred at length to the mode of electing a bishop, as detailed in " Avliffe's Parrergom," whilst the Pope exercised jurisdiction in the realm. The archbishop, it appeared, censecrated those whom the king appointed with the consent of the Pope. A ooutroversy having sows time before arisen between the King and the Pope, which terminated in the Pope being permitted to nominate, the King retain ing the right to recommend persons, and to be present at the elections. The Learned Counsel then referred to the Ist institute, c. ii. p. 133, 8., under the head " Episcopas," which recited the same facts and adverted to the granting of a charter by the King to the effect we have stated. Lastly, by the . law before the passing of the Act of Henry VIII. he contended that there was a studious desire to prevent all inquiry after the nomination. He then quoted a passage from " Launcelot's Institutes," which was not referred to by his Learned Friend, who, in a long treatise on " qualifications" (title 7), stated that the parties appointed were to examine into the qualifi cations of the person to be elected ; but then they would have to inquire what was the proper construc tion to be put upon the words "personate deal." The old canonical law referred to this, and stated that persons who wished to oppose the confirmation of a bishop might appear to do so. He gathered from this book , that after confirmation there was no opportunity of investigating the cha racter or pretensions of the person so confirmed, though objections might be ma de ; and F erraris, in his " Bibliotheca Canonici," stated, that unless all things set down were done—if no public citation of opponents took place—that the whole of the proceed ings were void. Linwood spoke in the same way ; but he would not fatigue the Court with an accumu lation of repetitions. The only case is point that he eosld find before the passing of the statute of henry the Eighth, was the case of Cranmer. It was re ported in Burnet's "History of the Reformation, v01.i., p. 259. It appeared, that just before the passing of th e , Act, the King sent to the Pope for bulls for Cranmer s promotion, though a statute had been passed forbid ding the reception of bulls from Roine (they were the last received during the King's reign). These bulls were sent one to the King, one to the Arch bishop desiring him to invest the Bishop elect with the dignity, and the third to the Bishop himself. It was unlikely, therefore, at that time that any oppo sition would have been allowed. There was another i case, that of O'Brien v. Nevan, reported n Palmer. In the reign of Edward VI., and su b se quently in the reign of Philip and Mary, the question arose whether anlr t i o sh t ß he ish c o t r nt w iu h t o .nt haddubreienng the a pp o inted , distllr b l u ,a t n vi c ' e h s o h il ai c fled tat prevailed, was good, a suc cessor hav ing been ap pointed, the first not having been elected by a conge drelirs. The Court decided that a Bishop could be elected without the issuing of such letters. He now came to the statute of Henry the Eighth, which he contended at once put an end to this opposition. It stated that a vacancy having been declared, the Crown should issue a cone d'dsrt, accompanied by a litter missive naming some person , and stating that the election should ta ke p lace within twelve days, and that afterwards letters patent should be issued to the Archbishop commanding him to confirm the said election. He contended therefore that the whole proceedings were a mere matter of form, merely kept up for the purpose of s how i ng the connexion of the Reformed Church with the ancient forms that prevailed. There could be no contradiction, b ecau se the Crown said this person should be elected 4 $5 36 1 ,i i 11% $ 16 1 1 IS 24j J% IX 55 44% 49U - bi 1848.
