Emigration is beginning to be regarded as the only remedy for the reduction of pauperism. Now, with out disparaging the reason of those individuals who are the most conspicuous in advocating this system of improvement, we must be allowed to protest against the adoption of it as the sole means of repara• tion. To our thinking, the panacea, if taken by itself, is of such a violent nature, that while affording a temporary and even instantaneous relief, it renders ultimate enervation inevitable. Altogether the scheme appears to us to be too slovenly to be effectual. Be sides which, it stands to reason that the very units of the population sent out of the country are the identical portions of the community most required for its preservation and advancement. No one dreams of emigrating who is either totally destitute, or so broken down by disease as to be actually bedridden. Those who are so situated are compelled unwillingly, by those very circumstances, to remain at home a permanent burden upon their fellow-countrymen. It is only the hale, the energetic, and those possessed at least of some slight funds wherewith to make a commencement. who adventure upon the somewhat daring exploit of seeking their fortunes beyond the seas. While, therefore, a considerable number of those most enabled to aid themselves are retained as a continually increasing burden upon the State, an equally numerous portion of the community empowered by nature and circumstances to participate in the toils, and to join in the speculations of the people, are expatriated at the time when their energies are more than ever desirable. It was some time back very felicitously remarked by a distinguished public disputant, with whom we are not usually in the habit of coinciding, that when a vessel laden with emigrants, carrying out to America or Australia their little stock of thews,: intellect, and furniture, leaves the port, say of Liverpool, and another vessel immediately afterwards enters that port conducting to England a ship-load of emaciatel Irish, labourers, who have crossed St. George's Channel for the purpose of saving them selves, if possible, from starvation—it is as if 20 much wealth had been carried a little way out to sea and sunk beyond the possibility of being reclaimed. The remark demonstrates, in a glaring manner, the folly of the present system—a system which appears to be met ra eve:. in vogue —namely that of depending exclusively upon emigration as a means of regenerating the United Kingdom. As a means, not as the only means, as a part of a system, not as constituting an entire plan of itself, the scheme of large emigration to some of our more remote, and at the nixie time, more fruitful colonial possessions, is eminently worthy of approval and en couragement. Yet it should likewise be borne in mind that with emigration other simultaneous and very different efforts should be made to diminish the extent and to allay the virulence of that gangrene of society—pauperism. What our allusions are tending towards must be very manifest to all those in any degree acquainted with the resources, for the maintenance of the unem ployed and ill-fed, still remaining dormant among us. A few very simple facts will demonstrate the force of the observation. When it is remembered that there are at this time lying uncultured in the United Kingdom no less than 15,000,000 of acres of land capable of cultivation, besides 15,871,463 of acres incapable of cultivation, it must be sufficiently evident that a vast amount of strength and wealth is thrown away at the identical time in which we are inducing our fellow-creatures to seek the means of acquiring sus tenance in our distant colonies. It has been calcu lated moreover by men of a very matter-of-fact tem perament, men iby no :means gifted with higl flying imaginations, that those same 15,000,000 acres of cul tivateable,land would at a moderate estimate produce, if properly attended to, no less than 15,000,0001. instead of 5,000,0001. annual returns, as they do now-a-days and as they have done hitherto. how acceptable this addition would be to the national income may be easily conceived when it is remembered that no less an amount than 7,941,7781. were expended in the shape of poor-rates in the United Kingdom during tae year ending March 25th, 1849, relieving paupers to the number of 3,561,382. Surely the addition of 15,000,000/. to the annual property of (;neat Britain would go very far towards enhancing the prosperity of the empire if elicited from a quarter previously yielding only 5,000,0001. The surplus amount would not only cover the sum supposed to be requisite for the relief :of pauperism —a sum ranging yearly from 7,000,000/. to 8,000,0001. sterling; but it would afford an invigorating and moralizing em . ployment to those unfortunate beings who, from the fact of the overstock of the labour market, have been up till this period reduced to an enervating and demoralizing indolence. By the adop tion of such a system as the one here indicated, none would henceforth require the assistance ofl alms except those prostrated by extreme physical suffering, or 17 - ;2ry advanced years ; or, ag ain, by such vaga bonds as are only reclaimable through the united aid of the turnkey and the schoolmaster. In illustration of the advantages derivable from this alliance of emigration with the cultivation of waste lands, and thereby, of course, the employment of our paupers, a very able little volume has just appeared from the pen of Mr. SIDNEY SMITH, already well and favourably known by his admirable guide-book to emigrants. The work, to which we would particularly direct public attention,* isNof a character demanding the most serious :consideration of all, seeing that, more or less, it affects our own fortunes, convenience, and competence. It is the necessary companion to its predecessor, the blending of the two ingredients which, if taken separately, would prove prejudicial, but if combined would inevitably advance the general interests of the community. Now that the intelligence of the population is alive to the wants of the time, it must be a matter of some importance to every member of it to recognize some channel through which those wants may be satisfied. The bane is painfully perceptible, the next object is, therefore, to discover the antidote. " The Mother Country; or, the Spade. the Wastes, and the Eldest Son. An Examination of the Condition of England." By Sidney Smith. Pp. 164. Kendrick, London, 1849. As we recorded yesterday, the Metropolitan Asso ciation for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes held a meeting on Wednesday last at their new buildings in Spitalfields. Nothing could be more encouraging, and at the present moment espe cially, more consolitary than the accounts given by Lord CARLISLE, the chairman, of the working of the model-house in Pancras-road. This establishment, which has now been open for nearly two years, has accommodation for 110 families, and during the above period of the sum of '2,4181. due for rent, there is at present only 71.. 10s. in arrear, and only: one bad debt of 11. 19s. 7d. Thus, in a financial point - of view, the spe culation has been more successful than is cus tomary with new undertakings, while, as regards the comfort and health, moral, mental, and physical, of its inhabitants, the model house is above commenda tion. Here, for instance, is one of those stubborn facts which there are no gainsaying :—" During the prevalence of the late epidemic not a single case of cholera took place in the Model-Lodging house, a'though at Paradise p'ace,near . them, it prevailed to a formidable extent." Whatever may be said of the influences of atmosphere, &c , this case may assuredly be taken as a very fair evilence of the beneficial effects of cleanliness, ventilation, proper drainage, good water, kc.—matters so vitqUy important to all, and yet so deplorably deficient in the homes of the great majority. When we reflect upon these things—when we call to mind not the naked poverty only, but the loath some and health-destroying character of the " homes" of so many of our English people—when we think of the stifling cellar, that no fresh breath f air ever ventilates, the chill garret that no genial fire ever warms, the crowded sleeping rooms, full of filth and vermin, where numbers nightly congratu late themselves on obtaining even such a lodging— when we enumerate a few only of the miseries of the dwellings of the poor, without glancing even at the awful depth of moral degradation and mental depravity inseparable from such physical evils, we feel, indeed, that no words can too highly commend and encourage the labours of those who are effecting a better state of . things. The Eng lish language boasts of the almost exclusive posses sion of the word " home," and the English people pride themselves on their peculiar appreciation of the meaning of that holy word. If an Englishman's house is his castle, an Englishman's home is con sidered to be a synonyme with purity, and peacefulness, and piety. It is in the homes of individuals that the germs of patriotism are nurtured—there the infant warrior imbibes those feelings which in after years and in foreign lands nerve his arm to heroic deeds, at the cry " For our homes and our altars !" In that Family Picture" recently pourtrayed with such exquisite verisimilitude by a master hand, there is no thing so attractive as its endearing homeliness. It exhibits with felicitous truthfulness the happy effects of that home-education which should be the portion of all, from the highest to the humblest—an education not instilled by exordiums, but imbibed like the air we breathe—the education of example and association — not learned by laborious study like some foreign dialect, but acquired without effort and without in tention, like our mother tongue in childhood. Is this, let us ask ourselves, the education of the children of London in the nineteenth century ? They learn, it is true, for the mind of children cannot remain vacant, but what do they learn ? Even supposing (which is devoutly to be desired) that every child, how ever poor, were daily receiving some school education, of what avail would any book learning be to an inha bitant of the filthy eellar or crowded sleeping-room, where immorality and infidelity are inhaled with the noxious air ? Schools, from the public college to the humble ragged school, are of an immeasurable im portance, but even more important than schools, even more essential to the mental, moral, and physical health of the community are fit dwelling-houses for the people—dwellings which, however poor and humble, may be worthy of the name of home. Such dwellings the society above mentioned are doing their utmost to provide, and their efforts will, we trust, be doubly beneficial. They will not only actually provide homes for a few, but encourage, by the happy example held out by those few homes, a simultaneous effort on the part of high and low to promote the domestic comforts of the people. At this season of the year more especially, when those possessed of a home more peculiarly appreciate its blessings, the subject of the improve ment of the dwellings of the poor most appropriately claims public attention. All you happy owners of happy homes, who are now preparing Christmas festivities, you may take our word for it that if anything can add to your happiness at this season—if anything can give a brighter glow to your holly-decked hearth, and a sweeter music to your returning children's voices, it will be the thought that, not selfishly satisfied with a home for yourself, you have given your mite to furnish homes for the homeless. Another guarantee of good government has just been afforded by the PRESIDENT of the French Republic perhaps the most brilliant and certainly the most practies.l assurance of liberal policy that he could have given—tile abolition of the system of Passports. Our Foreign intelligence contains the particulara of the announcement of this great reform by the lips of Louis NAPOLEON him self, on the occasion of bis granting an interview, at his Palace of the Elysee, to a deputation of the shareholders in the Boulogne and Amiens Railway. While congratulating those gentlemen upon the extraordinary feat accomplished by them the other day in travelling to Paris from London in nine hours, a journey of scarcely credible rapidity, the Prince in formed them of the wonderful reform upon which his Government had adventured , namely, that of completing the emancipation of the Republic by abolishing the passport system altogether. Immense credit cannot fail to re dound to the honour of the first magistrate of that great European Commonwealth for taking the initiative in an improvement more important in many respects than any that has been attempted since the creation of the Code Napoleon. A boon such as this is the noblest token of his loyalty to the cause of freedom that could have been given by Louis NAPOLEON on the anniversary of his election as the first democratic President. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM TUB BURSTING CF A Gust.—As Sir C. E. Scott was shooting last week, at Sundridge-park, with a pair of Messrs. Deane's new steel barrels, the left, although only loaded with the usual charge, burst in a most fearful manner. It was ripped and torn open, from the breech upwards, for several inches, the locks blown off, one to the distance of fifteen yards, and the stock broken off and splintered in every direction. The escape of Sir C. E. Scott, without loss of life or limb, and with merely a slight cut and bruise on the hand, was one of the most wonderful on record, and is only at tributable to the circumstance of the metal fortu nately giving way on the right-hand ride of the barrel. The remains of the gun have since been examined by an experienced and scientific gunmaker, and pronounced to have been most dangerous and defective. Letters from Canada state that Sir Allan MsNab was lying very ill at Toronto. THE SUN, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The speech of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, at the banquet at the hotel de Vile, on Monday, ap pears to have given great satisfaction to all parties, except to the members of the white-red coalition, the I extreme Legitimatists an the extreme Socialists, who have united together, as in the days of June, 1848, for the purpose of producing disorder, as it is through disorder alone that the parties to this strange coalition can ever hope to put their subversive and anarchical theories in practice. With the exception of these persons, who constitute a very small minority, the speech of the PRESIDENT appears to have given great satisfaction to all; and considered as a supplement to the message of October, the speech cannot but be gratifying to all those who wish to uphold the Constitutional Republic. Those persons who have of late been fearing or affecting to fear an intended coup d etat, may re-assure themselves when they read the following words of the PRESIDENT : " It is no paltry copy of any past whatsoever that we have to make; what we have to do is to call together men of heart and intelligence, to consolidate some thing greater than a charter, and more durable than a dynasty the eternal principles of religion and morality, as well as the new rules of a sound policy. The City of Paris will comprehend a line of conduct, which, in following the strict line marked by the Constitution, yet allows to be opened a vast horiz ,n of hope and security." These words containing a dis tinct disavowal of any intention of attempting to revive any past whatever, be it empire or monarchy, and at the same time giving a pledge to follow the strict line marked by the Constitution; have had the most happy effect in tranquillising the minds of the French people, whi!e the emphatic announcement of the PRESIDENT in the former part of his speech, "We will advance instead of standing still," has given satisfaction to all who wish to see re forms introduced into the administration, as those administrative reforms which all desire to see effected have a better chance of being carried out now that the PRESIDENT, who is his own Prime Minister, has taken the initiative, than they could have whilst he remained what his former Ministers endeavoured to make him, the slave rather than the master of the Cabinet. The Paine says " We are requested to state that there will be no grand ceremony at the Hotel des Invalides, on the 15th of December, the anniversary of the entry of the remains of the Emperor into France, as has been announced. There will only be a low mass. The great ceremony has been reserved for the 15th of May, the anniversary of the death of the Emperor." _ _ The ceremony has been deferred for probably the same reason that the review was postponed, which it had been intended should take place on the 10th of December. It was di!covered that several of the liegititnatist and Socialist coalition had conspired to raise a cry of "Vice L'Empercur" during the progress of the PRESIDENT along the lines , in order, if pos sible, to create an idea that a coup detat was intended, and thus to raise an entente. The review was in consequence put off, and several of the con spirators arrested. The majority of those arrestrd are Legitimatists. The rumour of the approaching publication of a general amnesty fur all political offences committed up to the present moment is revived. It is well known that the PRESIDENT is extremely desirous that such an amnesty should be proclaimed with as little delay as possible. _ _ In the National Assembly on Wednesday the debate on the re-imposition of the duty on potable liquors was resumed and again adjourned. M. DE MONTALEMBERT was to open the debate yesterday. The Aloniteur contains 40 more nominations to the Order of the Legion of Honour. Amongst them is that of LOUIS LUCIEN BONAPARTE (brother of the Prince of CAmtio). His discoveri?s in chemistry, and the services generally rendered by him to science during his long exile, are stated as the grounds on which his nomination has been made. It is said that General CASTELBAJAC has at length definitively accepted the Russian Embassy. Eighty-three of the insurgents of June, who were transported to Belleisle►, and who have been pardoned, arrived in Paris on Wednesday. ABOLITION OF THE PASSPORT SYSTEM. Messrs. WRIGHT, IVYLEAFE, and POTTER, and Capt WARREN, a deputation from the shareholders in the Boulogne and Amiens Railway, bad, yesterday, an interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic at the Elysee, at ten o'clock. They were received with much courtesy and with marked kindness. The moment the PRESIDENT saw them he said, "I have excellent news for you, gentlemen—an im portant communication to make to you, in the an nouncement that passports will be discontinued." After a conversation which lasted some time, and in which the PRESIDENT was highly complimentary on the late feat of travelling, the gentlemen above mentioned proceeded to the hotel of the Minister of Public Works, with whom they also had an interview, and by whom they were received with courtesy. They paid a visit afterwards to M. TuAvax, Di rector-General of the Post-office, with whom, and with M. PIRON, Deputy Postmaster-General, they also had a long conversation on the comparative merits of the Calais and Boulogne routes. M. THAYER expressed his admiration of the feat they had just performed, and gave a decided preference to the Bou logne route. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 56f. 30c.; the Five per Cents. at 91f. 60c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 757 f. 50c,; Rouen, 551 f. 25c.; Havre, 242 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 458 f. 75c.; Avignon, 220 f.; Viorzon, 330 f.; Bale, 105 f.; Bordeaux, 405 f.; Paris and Strasburgh, 361 f. 250.; Tours and Nantes, 278 f. 50e.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Vienna papers contain the following decree, suspending the publication . of the Presse news paper : The wicked tendencies of the Presse newspaper, and the very malicious article which it contains in its number of yesterday, are such that the authorities, on whom it is incumbent to execute the exceptional state, would ♦iolate their duties if they were to allow that newspaper to enlarge its sphere, and this the more, since its persisting in causing the mea sures of Government to be suspected appears as a defiance of those frequent exhortations which the Go vernment has condescended to bestow on the editors of several journals, and the nonconsideration of which has already led to the suppression of the said journals. the Military Governor has, therefore, thought proper to suppress the Presse newspaper during the continuance of the state of siege. " WELDEN, " The Civil and Military Governor. " Vienna, Dee. S." The " malicious article " alluded to by WELDEN was on the German question, and advocated the views of Prussia. The Government has determined that the Central Hungarian Railroad shall become the property of the state. The principal ,conditions made between the directory of the railroad and the Austrian Govern ment were—" The shareholders to receive 4 per cent. State bonds instead of their railway sharer, which have a nominal worth of 5,000,000 florins (800,0001) 2. The bonds to be paid in eight yearly instalments. 3. The interests at present due on the railway shares to be paid in ready money by Govern ment." It is said that RADETZKY has tendered his resigna tion of, and has recommended HESS as his successor in the Government of Lombardy. The Constitutional Journal states, upon good autho rity, that the Government intends to issue the patents for the convocation of the Diets of the different Crown lands in the course of next week. It is contemplated to remove the privileges hitherto enjoyed by Venice, of being a free harbour. The Minister of Commerce considers this measure impe • native for the suppression of smuggling. The Austrian Exhibition of National Industry is postponed to the year 1852, because the exhibition which is to take place in London of specimens of manufacture from every part of the, world is fixed for 1861, and which will therefore clash with our exhibition. PRUSSIA. At Koningsberg the jury have acquitted JACOBI of the charge of treason brought against him for having, while a member of the German Parliament, joined the section which opposed the Central Power, and pro claimed a Regency of the Empire in the month of June last. His defence was that, as a representative, he was irresponsible. FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1849. Do. Quarters Niewmarket Do.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat for our market coastwise has amounted to 2,430 quarters, chiefly from Essex. By land carriage the receipts have been ♦ery moderate. To-day the show of samples of both red and white was small, yet it was quite equal to the wants of the buyers, whose attendance was far from numerous. In prices we have not the slightest altera tion to notice. Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand, mostly from the Baltic. Really fine qualities sold at .Monday's quotations; but the inferior qualities were very dull, at barely late rates. The show of English Barley was small—that of foreign large. Malting parcels sold at full prices; but inferior grinding sorts were somewhat easier to purchase. Not withstanding that the supply of Malt ready for delivery was trifling, that article moved off heavily, at the late decline. Good .sound Oats were quite as dear as on Monday. The middling qualities supported previous quotations. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, were very dull. Fine Flour was scarce, and quite as dear. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. ITALY. The POPE has refused to return to Rome, alleging the inclement state of the weather as his reason for refusing to comply with the remonstrances of General BARAGUAT D'HILLIERS. The dissatisfaction among the Roman people is daily increasing. The POPE, it is said, is determined not to return to Rome until he shall hare raised a loan, a feat of impossible accom plishment unless he gives security on the Church property. Lieutenant Lynch, of the United States navy, has volunteered to head an expedition in the ensuirg spring in search of Sir John Franklin, if the Government will sanction the expedition. Lieutenant Lynch commanded the late "Dead Sea Exploring Expedition." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S. CITY, QUARTER TO.THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but steady.

(Before the Archbishop of Cant( rbury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, the - Marquis of Lens dewne, Lord Langdale, Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Parke, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, Dr. Lush ington, and Mr. Pemberton Leigh.) GORHAM V. THE tersitor OF EXETER. The argument in this ca-e was resumed on the re assembling of the Council this morning at ten o'clock. Dr. ADDAMS proceeded with his address which had been interrupted by the rising of the Court on Wednesday evening. Ho said there was no doubt from the appellant's expressed opinions that he denied baptismal regeneration altogether, and to suhstantiate that trJposition the Learned Civilian proceeded to refer to the answers given by Mr. Gorham to the Bishop numbered 9, 14, and 15. Dr. LUSUINGTON (interrupting) said he wanted to know wkat was the meaning of the word prevenient? Dr. ADDAMS replied that it was antecedent; at least, that was the sense he took it in. Dr. LUSHINGTON—In the sense of going before? Dr. ADDAMS replied exactly so. Mr. TURNER said, he also understood the word to mean in the sense of going before. Dr. ADDAMS continued to say that there could be no doubt that the sentiments held by the rev. appellant were entirely opposed to the doctrines of the Church of England. The Learned Civilian then adverted to the examination of Mr. Gorham by the Bishop, and con tended that the Bishop had that right of examination un doubtedly, according to the statute of 9 Edward 111., c. 43, published as far back as 1315, which was declaratory of the common law by which it was held that the examination belonged to a spiritual judge. The Articles of the Church of England originally were only ten in number, but between the years 1552 and 1562, certain additions were made, and eventually the number was increased to thirty-nine. These Articles were adopted by Parliament in 1571, and constituted what Mr. Turner was pleased to call the coda of faith of the Church cf England. The Learned Civilian proceeded to contend that, according to the general constriction of those Articles, as put upon them by eminent commenta tors, in the case of adult baptism the regeneration did not depend on the due administration of the rite, but upon the worthy reception of it; but that it was otherwise with respect to infant baptism. In that case there could be no worthy reception, inasmuch as infants were necessarily incapacited for such worthy reception, and the regeneration, as it respec ed them, depended on the due administration of the baptism; and the question was whether any prevenient grace was necessary to make infants worthy recipients. Bishop Burnett held that the virtue of baptism, according to the doctrine of the opus operatum, was conveyed to the souls of the reci pients unless they themselves put a bar to its reception by some mortal sin. The doctrine of the opus operatum was that, provided there was no bar to stand in the way of it by some mortal sin, the sacrament of baptism was beneficial, cx opera operatum to the parties receiving it, whether it was rightly administered er not. And in the ease of the mass this doctrine was, as to adults, that its benefits depended on the right administration of it, quite irre spective of the conduct of the party receiving the sacra ment; he might be amusing himself, or be otherwise improperly occupied, yet by his very presence at the sacrament, and by his being the subject of the litanies and prayers offered up thereat, he received the benefits of the mass. In the case of infants it was not in the power of the infants to place any bar to the benefits conveyed at baptism, and therefore the benefit did not depend on the worthy reception of it by them, and that was not upon the principle that they did not put any obstacle in the way of the reception of the benefi., but that they could not put any obstacle in its way. Then he (Dr. Addams) contended, that according to Bishop Burnett's exposition of the Articles of the Church of England ralating to baptism, the doctrine could not be maintained that had been contended for by Mr. Gorham. That must have been the doctrine of the Church of Eeg land, undoubtedly, as expounded by Billop Bur nett; and if their Lordships departed in this instance from the doctrine of the Church of Eng land it would be the only instance that had occurred since the Reformation. No whisper of doubt had arisen that, baptism was regeneration, and that regene ration was baptism. So far back as St. John it was said that infants were regenerated by baptism, and from that time till the commencement of the Reformation the doc trine had never been doubted. There was an eminent bishop of the Church of England, whom he would not name, who had said "It may safely be pronounced of any expression of the Articles which cannot be reconciled with the plain language of the offices of the public Liturgy that it is not tho doctrine of the Church. The opinion which denies baptismal regeneration may possibly, though not without difficulty, be reconciled with the language of the 27th Article ; but upon no stretch of human ingenuity, and no latitude of interpretation, can it be brought to agree with the plain and unqualified language of the office of baptism and confirmation. • • • . That regeneration does actually take place at baptism, is most undoubtedly the doctrine of the Church of England." Now he (Dr. Addams) contended that unless that was the doctrine of the Church of England, the Church of England bad departed from the principle on which she proceeded in every other instance, and upon which she conducted her Reformation. There was once a conference between Archbishop Laud and Fisher, the Jesuit, in which Laud maintained that, according to Scripture, infants should be baptized, and that they could not creep into the communion of the Church in any other ordained way, and that was the doctrine held by all the primitive Christians. Could any one pretend to say that the Catholic fathers did not collect out of the Scriptures the doctrine of baptismal regeneration? Could any one dispute that fact for a single moment? But all thzt their Lordships had heard from the Counsel for the ap pellant was, whether that was the case until the assembly of the Council of Trent. The Learned Civilian then adverted to a series of Bampton Lectures of Bishop Lawrence, delivered and published in 1804, with the view to show that Archbishop Cranmer had always held the doctrine that baptismal regeneration was necessary to salvation. Though that work bad been impugned, he (Dr. Addams) had the opinion of many eminent con temporary tad subsequent writers that it was an un doubted authority. It was well known that Cranmsr was first a Catholic, then a Lutheran, and then a Sacra mentalist; but it,was an incontestable fact that be was always consistent in his opinion on the doctrine of bap tism. Upon that subject ho never altered his opinion. Ho (Dr. Addams) would rest the whole matter now at issue upon the assertion that Cranmer never altered his opinion on the matter of baptismal regeneration. (The case was proceeding when our report kft.) COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during the day in trying the b At per stone by the Carcase. case of Hallcoat v.

The Learned SECONDARY—He should direct the j that the debt was recoverable in England. A verdict was then given for the amount. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULDITRN.) IN RE MORRISON. This bankrupt was a clerk in the firm of Denn and Co., bankers, and was deelarei bankrupt a builder, and now carn , up for his certificate, which I been adjourned until he had paid his creditors 6s. in the pound out of his salary. The late Mr. Danni having left the bankrupt a legacy cf 5001., the assigt contended that the property ought to be taken by, assignees independently of the dividend. His Hun hom,ver, did not consider this fair, but as the leg would cover the dividend the creditors were entitlee be paid at once. Mr. GRAHAM nox reporting that he had rccei the legacy, His HONOUR granted the certificate. The Solicitor to the assignees asked of what class? Ilia HoNoutt said there was some doubt as to whet the Act should be taken to operate retrospective': the penal clauses, and he would grant the' certificate the old form it bankrupt thought fit; but his Hon questioned whether it would be valid, as it would not in the form in the new Act. Mr. STURGEON, for the bankrupt, took the old fori certificate. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

About six o'clock be went inside boards to see if a valuable leaden cistern was all t when he heard a noise, as if some one was trying to over the boarding. It was, however, dark, and he cc not see clearly, but he called out; he received no ansv but a portion of the boarding giving way at the insl tho prisoner fell down, when he was seized by a I) party-, mho now made his appearance, and fort dragged through the adjoining house. Just as prisoner was about to drop from the window the home into a back street, another off came up and prevented his escape. It was then discov , that the cistern hal been cut up iuto portable pieces a saw, which the prisoner was observed to let fall Duke-street while endeavouring to scale the boardin The prisoner denied all knowledge of the second P. who had affected his escape, or of the saw, and said got over the boarding to relieve a case of nature. Mr. JA RDINE did not believe this story, but commt him to the House of Correction for six weeks. The prisoner was then removed.
