SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM Tin: DAILY PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The meeting over which Lord John Russell presided yesterday at Exeter Hall—the pro ceeding of which are reported in another column— affords us an occasion of alluding to the Temperance Society ; to Father Mathew, its founder ; and to the pecuniary embarrassments in which he is involved, by his endeavour' to induce his countrymen to bind themselves, by solemn pledge, to abstain from in toxicating drinks. To raise a fund for releiving Father Mathew from the debts for which he has be come liable, and to reimburse him at least a portion of the sums he has expended in carrying out his benevo lent designs, was the immediate object of the meet ing. The able advocacy of the Noble Lord who presided orer the meeting, and the testimony borne by his Lordship, and by other distinguished speakers, to the disinterestedness of purpose, and unwearied diligence, devotedness, and success with which Father Mathew has laboured, will go far to remove objections from the proposed subscription. In endeavouring to reclaim his countrymen from the self-inflicted curse which preyed upon the earnings— making the little less—inflamed the passions, and de moralised the habits of his countrymen, the Apostle of Temperance, it appears, has incurred a debt of 7 4 0001. The bona fide existence of the debt ; the legitimate modes by which the various items of which it is constituted were incurred—and the frugality and care with which Father Mathew, and the agents he employed, invariably acted, both with respect to their personal and relative expenses, in connexion with the object they endeavoured to accomplish—these highly proper questions have been investigated with great minuteness by disinterested persons, whose compe tency and standing in society furnish a guarantee for the integrity of their report. That report is, upon the whole, honourable to Father Mathew ; upon whose conduct and management of the funds which came into his hands there is not the slightest imputation. The only questions with which the public has any concern, is whether the object sought to be effected by the Temperance Society be one of sufficient inte rest to deserve general sympathy ; and whether Father Mathew ought to be relieved, by a public subscription, from the embarrassments he has incurred in carrying out the objects of the Temperance Society? In dis cussing these questions, it is not necessary to embark in the wide inquiry, whether the means adopted by the Temperance Society be the best of all imaginable means for effecting the discouragement of drunkenness ; nor do we undertake to settle the vexed question, which has been somewhat intemperately debated by the advocates of the rival Societies, as to whether " ter-totalism" or " temperance" be the best form of pledging the individual to abstain from intoxicating drinks. The only material question, we apprehend, is, whether a considerable improvement in the physical and moral condition of the lower classes—especially in Ireland, where it was so much needed—haft not been accom plished by Father Mathew's exertions ; and whether patriotism and philanthropy do not prescribe, that the labourer in this benevolent cause should be exone rated from the pecuniary liabilities he has incurred in promoting its influence in the country where the vice it assails was working all kinds of abominations? Lord John Russell, with considerable pathos and manifest effect, thus stated the case :—" Whatever, therefore, can remove the temptation and the evil consequences of that vice requires no ordinary efforts. To make a great impression upon a whole nation—to bring them at once from a habit in which they were too apt to indulge, to the practice of those virtues by which their domestic happiness may be increased, and their moral and religious conduct improved, must, I say, have called for no ordinary diligence ; no common exertions would have sufficed for such an object. But we all know the extraordinary elo quence, the untiring energy, the disinterested for getfulness of all selfish objects, which did enable Mr. Mathew to accomplish this moral miracle, and by his exertions to effect a change in Ireland which was surprising to the whole civilised world." Mr. S. C. Hall bore testimony, from actual personal comparison, to the former and present state of the Irish peasantry. Allusions to the perpetuity of the union, as it exists between the two countries, were received with cheers which show how little the people of England are likely to encourage the repeal project. Lord John Russell said :—" 'What, then, should be the conduct of that country to which he belongs, and of this country, which is closely, and, I trust, perpetually- united with it ?" We think the claim of Father Mathew to pub• lic sympathy and aid is established by the facts brought before the meeting. We cordially concur in the effort to raise the proposed fund ; and hope that the amount required will soon be realised. STANDARD.—Dr. Pusey has published a letter denouncing the statute proposed for consideration by the Oxford Convocation on the 13th of February, 1845, and plainly intimating that as hitherto he has not subscribed the Articles honestly—that is, adopting the language used in " the Tracts for the Times," in their " natural sense," so he is prepared to retire from the Church and University if called upon so to subscribe them. Doctor Pusey, we have heard, is a rich man, who can well afford to surrender his canonry and professorship, and therefore the public is relieved from the single regret that could allay the general delight with which the realisation of the Reverend Gentleman's threat will be welcomed by the Christian public. It will be but a descent from Portman-square to Baker-street; and this, as Gold smith observes, has not enough of the terrible to give interest to a tragedy. The letter of Dr. Pusey, however, leaves a comparatively favourable impres sion —it is a picture of the writer's mind, hazy, feeble, and timid. He sees nothing distinctly, con ceives nothing vigorously, and takes refuge in a mist of generality, because he cannot embrace any obvious or well-defined truth. We may pity such a man, but we cannot admit those feelings of contempt and aversion for him that we must for one whose perverseness in other respects is disgraced by hypo crisy. Even when we find Dr. Pusey canonising the betrayer of Bishop Williams, the controversialist who silenced adversaries with fine and imprisonment, pil lory,ear-cutting,and ignominious scourgings, the man who fined Leighton 10,0001., sentenced him to stand twice in the pillory, losing an ear upon each occasion, and to be twice publicly scourged—even when we find Dr. Pusey canonising this man, we are sure that, if his saint, Laud would never be his model. We say this much in defence of Dr. Pusey from an inference that might hastily be drawn from his letter. The Rev. Gentleman's objection to the proposed statute ap pears to be this, that the statute requires subscribers to subscribe to the Articles in the known sense in which the Articles were drawn up (the rule of interpretation in every other case in which men make a declaration, from the coronation oath downward) ; whereas he and others have, since " Laud won for them the liberty," inter preted the ambiguous expressions of the formulary in some different manner, but in a manner so vague, that Dr. Pusey can approach to it no more closely than by such phrases as by "by the faith of the whole Church, before east and west were divided," a phrase dislocated from a passage of Bishop Ken ; or, " ac cording to the analogy of the faith." We need scarcely say that so broad a rule of interpretation by a standard so uncertain, is, in fact, no rule at all. " The faith of the whole Church before east and west were divided," is a thing that never existed, because from the Apostles' time, and in the Apostles' time, nay, in the blessed college itself, there were controversies; and " diver sities of faith" are recorded as from the beginning. But if the consent of faith did not exist, the analogy afforded by that consent cannot exist ; so that the in terpreter appealed to is but the resource of weakness or the subterfuge of fraud. The truth is, that the Church of whieh Dr. Pusey and his sect speak as the Church, had no distinct existence (through the universal Church existed and still exists) b e f o r e the Council of Trent, and then the Romish Church obtained its distinct existence (as any sect may), by excommunicating all others, us Protestants among the rest. There might be, however, little harm in this reference even to an impossible interpretation of ambiguous passages, be cause there is really not one ambiguous passage in the whole Thirty-nine Articles, with such admirable precision are they drawn up, if men would be only honest and discreet in determining the question of ambiguity. The misfortune, however, is, that only allow dishonest or weak men a condition on which they shall be at liberty to indulge their humour, and they will soon make the condition for themselves. Words cannot be more plain, distinct, and une quivocal than those in which the second clause of j the 28th Article rejects the doctrine of transub stantiation ; yet Dr. Pusey finds that article so ambiguous, that with the help of his analogy of the faith, he subscribed the Article, and then preached a sermon in support of the very doctrine rejected. Such a loose style of interpretation as this will enable one to extract any desired meaning from any combination of words. Were not the subject too grave, we might quote from Swift some examples in point. Doctor Pusey is not singular, however, in the labyrinth of difficulties in which he involves himself by a.departure from the bona fide and common-sense rule of interpretation ; his Saint Laud wandered in the same maze before him. Bishop Hall addressed to the-proto-Puseyite the following remonstrance at the Commencement of his cruel and tyrannical mercer :—"1 Would to know where to find you, then I could tell how to take a direct aim, whereas now I must rove and conjecture. To-day ou are in the tents of th e Romanist.' to-morrow n -torrow in ) ours, the next day bet ween b oth and. against both. Our adver saries think you ours, we theirs, your conscience finds you with both, and neither. I flatter you not • this of yours is the worst of tempers ; heat and cold have their uses, lukewarmness is good f or not hi ng butt trouble the stomach. Those that are spiritually hot find acceptation, those that are stark cold have a less reckoning. The mean between both is so much worse as it comes near the good, and attains it not. How long will you halt in this indifferency ? Re solve one way, and know at last what you do THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 1344. hold, what you would cast off? Either your wings or your teeth; and, loathing this bat-like nature, be either a bird or a beast. To die wavering and uncertain, yourself will grant fearful. If you must settle, where begin you ? 'Tis dangerous deferring that whose want is deadly, and whose opportunity is doubtful. Is there any impediment which delay will abate? Is there any which a just answer cannot remove ? If you had rather waver, who can settle you ? But if you love not inconstancy, tell us why you stagger ?" Laud, however, continued to stagger in his conscience until the hour of his fall, having no better stay to support him than his "analogy of the faith." In other respects he was unhappily too strong, with the " High Commission Court,' the " Star Chamber," and the hangman to silence adversaries. But how much better would it have been both for his happiness and his fame, if Laud had been only honest. Conscientious scruples might have prevented his subscribing the Articles, and then he would have turned his considerable talents to account in some secular pursuit. True, he would not have been Archbishop of Canterbury ; but neither would he have lived in the miserable and disgraceful state described by Hall, nor would he have brought, as he did, his master's head and his own to the block. There is no danger of a repetition in our day of Laud's ex travagances and cruelties, or of their terrible retribution ; but we believe that there is already much of the misery of uncertainty which he suffered, tormenting many conscientious but weak men, in the orders of the Church, all arising from the want of a clear understanding of the real import of the Articles of the Church, or rather of the meaning in which they themselves subscribed them. This course of suffering the Oxford statute will remove at ence and for ever, for nothing can be clearer than the language of the Articles themselves ; and if men take them in " the natural sense," they are their own sufficient ex positors. Sordid persons, of course, will creep in who will swallow anything with any explanation, but they never suffer much in conscience; there are men ingenious enough to reconcile anything to their per sonal interests. We will be warrant for Mr. Newman, for example, that he will find an ambiguity in the pro posed declaration (to be interpreted according to the analogy of the faith), as plausible as any that Doctor Pusey can find in the Articles. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Dec. 20.) SUGAR.—To-day middling to fine yellow descriptions of West India Sugar were in excellent request, and fetched rather higher rates, making the advance for the week is per cwt, and of such there is not sufficient at market to satisfy the wants of the grocers ; inferior sorts, of which nearly the whole on show consists, were purchased steadily, and the offers made to lower rates were rejected by the merchants. The total pur chases amounted to 660 hhds, including 100 hhds 6 tierces of Barbadoes at auction, which sold at very full rates ; indeed fine was rather higher, and fetched 68s, good 63s to 63s 6d, good midding 60s 6d to 625, middling 56s to 60s, low 575, very low soft 52s to 53s 6d per cwt. The total quantity sold for the week is 1,960 hhds and tierces. The market closes firmly with Sugar admissible for home consumption. REFINED.—There has been an increased desire-mani fested on the part of the home trade to purchase Refined Sugar this week, a good demand has prevailed for all descriptions, and the rates paid are rather above those of this day week, the supply has again been small, and stocks in the hands of town and country grocers are light, added to which, Refined is much cheaper than good and fine descriptions of Raw Sugar. To-day the Grocers purchased Refined Goods with in creased freedom, paying stiffer rates—brown lumps fetched 725, and standard lumps 73s to 73s 6d. Of Crushed Sugar refined in bond there is very little offer ing, and the Refiners are demanding 30s 3d to 30s ad. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon 1,145 bags were brought forward, and sold at and after the public sale at very full rates—good yellow fetched 59s to 61s 6d, good mid dling 58s, middling 55s to 575, and low 53s 6d per cwt. The quantity disposed of privately - for the week is 4 , 000 bags. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Bengal Sugar, but by private contract several parcels were disposed of at firm rates. The quantity sold during the week by private contract amounts to 14,000 bags, at prices varrying from 503 to 70s per cwt. FOREIGN.—In consequence of the principal continental ports being closed, there are very few orders for any description of Foreign Sugar for exportation, and our refiners working under bond arc mostly supplied for the press-nt. There has been no public sale of yellow Ha varnish, and by private contract little business has been transacted, still the offers made at lower rates are rejected, kind 21s to 2156 d per cwt is the value of average parcels. White is not to be had upon easier terms. With Brazil of all kinds the market is sparingly supplied ; the de. mond privately has been only for small parcels at 18s to 19s for good and fine brown, 17s to 17s 61 for infe rior, and at 21s to 24i far common to fine white ; none has been offered at public sale. In other kinds of Foreign Sugar little has been done. COFFEE.—There has been little inclination manifested on the part of the home trade to purchase West India Coffee this week, hut importers having supplied the mar ket sparingly, any material decline in prices has been prevented. By private contract small par cels of Berbice, and of the lower descriptions of, Jamaica, found purchasers, and the rates ac cepted were rather under tho.ye previously quoted. This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with more attention, and 365 bags at public sale sold at an advance on former rates of is per cwt, common pale ragged fetching 50s to slfi, good ord pale 525, good ord celery 53s to 538 6d, fine ord dark colory 53s 6d to 545, sea damaged 48s to 50s 6d, and triage 15s. By private contract the trade purchased more freely, paying 51s 6d to 52s per cwt for good ord. TEA.—There has been more activity in the market than there was last week ; merchants have shown firm ness, and none has been brought to public sale. Congou has been in excellent request ; the better kinds fully sustain the former currency, common has been fetching 104 d to 11d, rather coarse to rather strong 111 d to Is ld, blackish leaf to blackish leaf rather strong Is 2d to is 4d, gcod strong blackish leaf is 4id to Is 6d, fine is 7d to is 9d, Pekoe flavour is 10d to 2s 6d.

MOLASSES.—There has been a considerable increase in the demand for West India of all descriptions this week, and the large quantity of SOO puns found buyers at very full rates ; that is to say—at 20s to 23s 6d for dark St. Kitt's to middling Antigua and St. Vincent's. COCOA.—Foreign is much wanted, and in consequence of the scanty supply, buyers have been compelled to pay a further advance in prices ; at public sale 81 bags of Bahia were sold, good bold red at 355, sea damaged 32s per cwt. The demand has been good for West India by private contract, fine red Trinidad has fetched 49s to 51s, good 46s to 48s, low to mid 42s to 453, and Grenada 41s to 475, per cwt. SPlCES—Sumatra of good quality has fetched 28d to 21c1; Malabar 3d to 31d, and 1,776 bags of Penang were mostly disposed of at and after the public sale at lid to 2id for good light rather dusty and stalky, 2d to 2i-cl for first class sea damaged, and at 2d to lid per lb for second class.

Cinnamon is plentiful Government ; seconds 3s 7d to 3s 10d, and private thirds 2s 8d to 3s per lb. Holders of Ginger show firmness, and supply the market sparingly with all descriptions. The parcels of East and West India sold privately were at full rates ; at auction 200 bags of Malabar fetched I9s per cwt for good fair bold rather wormy. The good and fine bold kinds of East India and Jamaica are wanted. Ia Mace little business has been transacted. Cloves are not offered upon lower terms. For Nutmegs a good demand has existed at 3.s to 3s lld for brown, and 4s to 4s 6d per lb for fine. RUM, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.—The business trans acted in Leeward Island Bum has been upon a small scale only this week, and prices are still going down; only 80 puns have been sold at 2s 3d per gallon, proof strength. Demerara is rather cheaper, 3s Id to 3s 3d having been accepted for 120 puns, 29 to 35 per cent overproof. Ja maica common is 3s 6d to 3s Bd, middling 3s 9d to 3s 10d, good 3s lld to 4s 3d, and fine 4s 4d to Gs per gal lon. Calcutta RUM, a large parcel offered at 2s 2id per gallon proof strength'; the stock is chiefly in the hands of one house. For Jamaica prices are 9d to Is, and for Leewards 5d to 6d per gallon higher than they were •n the 20th of December last year. The low and middling descriptions of Brandy have met with more attention, and for the best sorts a very good de mand his existed.

At auction 76 boxes went at 26s for fine small white Pearl. Sago Flour is wanted. Farina or Potato Flour is much in request. Of Tapioca at auction 25 barrels were taken in at 5.i -d per lb for Rio. RicE.—There has been an increased demand for Madras, and by private contract several, parcels have Leen disposed of, yellow fetching 8s 3d to 8s 6d per cwt. Java is little wanted at present, but holders are firm, and none has been offered at public sale, yellow is held for 9s to 9s 6cl, and white 10s to 12s per cwt. Bengal is much wanted, low white fetching Ils to Ils 3d, mid lls 6d to 11a 9d, and good to &to 12s to 12s 6d per cwt. In cleaned Rice there has been a great deal doing at 23s to 27s for Carolina, and 14a to 18s per cwt for Patna. COCHINEAL—Is still much wanted, and the improved rates previously noticed are fully supported for mid and good, but for inferior qualities an advance of ld per lb has taken place for silvers ; 225 bags of Honduras at auction were sold, silvers low at 4s 4d to 4s sd, mid 4s 6d to 4s 7d, good 4s 8d ; 10 bags consisted of black and fetched 4s 10d to 5s for low, and Sc ld to 5s 2d per lb for mid quality. FRIIIT.—The demand for Currants has been limited this week. Valentias are steady, with a small stock. Red Smyrnas and Chesme Raisins are in request at 45s to 475. Of new Turkey Pulled Figs, the greater pro portion arrived (being mostly very much out of condi tion) are being forced off at very low prices ; the fine kinds, of which there is but a small supply, obtain very high prices. INDIGO.—The low rates that prevail for East India have at length attracted attention, and in Bengal a good business has been transacted at prices showing a decline on the rates of the last quarterly sale of 2d to 4d per lb ; the chief part consisted of low and mid, with a tew good. Of Madras, Oudes, and Kurpah, some parcels of the lower qualities have been sold at rates about equal to the cheap part of last sale. The quantity already ad vertised for public competition on the 21st of January is 5,115 chests. There are very few buyers of Spanish at present, and prices rule low. OILS.--The market has assumed a firmer appearance for Cod ; there has been a very good demand on the spot and fur parcels to arrive at 311 to 311 103 per tun ; for other descriptions of common Fish Oil there are few purchasers at present, and prices are drooping for Seal, pale selling at 33/ 16s to 34/, yellow and straw 311 to 331, and brown 281 lOs to 304 but the market being sparingly supplied with Southern, previous rates of 291 lOs to 331 lOs per tun are sustained.

Rape Seed Oil, pale selling at 35s to 34s 6d, and brown 33s to 33s 6d. Cocoa Nut Oil is little wanted, and prices rule low. Palm has met little attention, and it is difficult to obtain more than 25s per cwt for fine quality. Olive at 41/to 421 for Gallipoli, and at 38/ to 40/ for Barbary and Spanish. The value of African Ground Nut Oil is 331 to 33/10s, and American Lard Oil 401 to 41/ per tun. Prices of Oils compared with those of last season at this time show a decline of 31 for Pale Seal, 41 to 51 for Southern, Si to 51 lOs for Linseed Oil, and 2/ to Cl for Olive Oil, but for Sperm they exhibited an advance of 141 to 151 per tun. TALLOW.—On the spot prices have - ruled firm for Russian this week, and merchants are not so willing to realise ; the trade are still inclined to do business, and for Soap and Candlermaking purposes a good demand has been experienced. P. Y. C. of first quality has been fetching 40s 3d to 40s 9d per cwt. There is still a large supply of American and New South Wales. Town Tallow has met with ready purchasers at 41s net cash, but a larger quantity has been offered for sale. The deliveries of Foreign have been interfered with by the low rate that existed this year for home made Tallow.

ROBERT SOUTHEY'S BROTHEB.—" An uncomplain ing, broken hearted, pale, emaciated, withered man, called Edward Southey, the true and lawful brother of the great poet," says a Correspondent of the Bristol _Mirror, " is starving in London ; a gentleman by birth and family, and a scholar by education. I wish to give no offence to the lovers of Southey's writings, among whom I rank myse lf ; but as the Laureate, by his ad mitted economy, amassed sufficient wealth to enable him to administer to the wants of a brother poet's wife and son, is it not surprising that such a noble feeling has not been extended to a suffering brother by birth?" A post-office is about to be established at the Stocksfield station, on the Newcastle and Carjisle Railway. PRICES OF SHARES LN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Chief Justice TINDAL.) Michael Noon, 19, and John Sutters, 21, were in dicted for stealing a case of dentist's instruments, the property of William Murray. Mr. Cobbett prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor defended the prisoners. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prosecutor is a chemist and druggist, living in Hand-court, Bed ford-row, and on the evening the robbery took place Noon went into his shop, and asked for some lozenges. About eight o'clock the same evening the prosecutor heard a noise, and on descending the staircase he put his foot in a hat which belonged to some stranger, and on going into the shop he found it had been entered by means of a picklock key, and that a case of instruments had been stolen. The prisoners were taken into custody shortly afterwards, and the in struments were found in the possession of Sutters, and upon searching Noon a quantity of picklock and skeleton keys were discovered. Mr. Mellor set up an alibi on behalf of Sutters, and called witnesses to support that defence. The jury found Noon Guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. The other prisoner was acquitted. Bodamin Ewen, 52, butler, was indicted for felo niously stealing a silver teapot, value 61., the property of his Grace the Duke of Richmond. There was another indictment against the prisoner for stealing twelve silver forks, value 71., the property of Charles Cox. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prisoner, said that, with the permission of the Court, he would re tract his plea of Not Guilty, and plead Guilty to the indictment. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that the prisoner had occupied the situation of butler in some of the first famili, s of the land, and he mentioned, among others, the names of Lord Ernest Bruce and Lord Cranstoun ; but he said that latterly the prisoner had been reduced to a state of complete destitution, and, under the pressure of dis tress, he was induced to committ the offence imputed to him. Inspector Morgan, of the T division, was then questioned, and stated that, upon going to the pri soner's lodging, he found his wife and four children in a most destitute condition. They had pawned almost every article of their property, even to the wearing apparel of the children, for food. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in passing sentence, said he regretted to perceive a person who formerly appeared to have been so respectably situated, so far forget him self as to commit an offence of this description, but it was impossible to overlook the fact that there were two indictments against him, and that both offences appeared to have been committed within a short period of each other. In consideration, however, of his previous good character, and the testimonials re specting him that had been placed in the hands of the Court, the sentence upon him was, that he be impri soned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. Mary Davidson, 20, was convicted upon two in dictments of stealing articles of wearing apparel from different dwelling-houses, the outer doors of which she found open, and she was sentenced to be transported for seven years. The business of the session concluded about six o'clock, and the Court then adjourned until Monday, January G. ICyte, the servant of Mr. Chadwick, the surveyor, and Sargood, the driver of the errand cart which caused the death of a poor man, named Dean, in Threadneedle-street, a few days ago, by turning over upon him when he was drawing a truck, underwent another examination before the Lord Mayor. It will be recollected that Kyte was committed to prison by the Lord Mayor, upon his own statement that he had deposited paving -stones, which were intended for the repair of the pathway, in the car riage-way, and that bail was taken for the appearance of Sargood, who, as he drove along, did not see the stones before the wheel of the cart came in contact with them. Mr. Chadwick attended, and stated that he deeply lamented the accident, but he could not see how it The LORD MAYOR.—It is a very serious case. poor man, who has left a wife and children, has lost his life evidently in consequence of the manner in which these stones were laid in the carriage-way. The foreman of the jury has been with me this morning, and told me that the stones stood nearly a yard upon the carriage-way, and that the jury were for a considerable time in doubt whether they should not return a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. Chadwick's man.
