The Liverpool Standard of the 19th instant contains a report of the Sheffield Reformation and Protestant Association, in which the following lan guage is ascribed to the Rev. R. M'GHEE : I would go to the dying bed of my p oor Roman Catholic fellow-sinner, and while the light of truth is i saut out from his ey e , aocbook I theligh.s de light of . ed he aven from nil heart—while the blessed i taken from beneath his pillow , as it was in m Irehlalmod or by a Romish priest, and committe d to the flames—while masses, and oils, and refuges of lies like these are set before him, as the hope of his immortal soul. I would tall him faithfully and affectionately of the glorious finished work of a crucified and risen Saviour. I would tell him of that righteousness that could cover all his nakedness, that precious blood that could cleanse him from all his sin. I would proclaim to him the glad tidings of free and full salvation in the Lord Jesus. I would exhort him to turn from those refuges of lies to the mercy of his Saviour and his God ; and as I loved and valued his soul and his eternal happiness, I would cry NO POPERY." So completely does the excessive zeal of this Reverend Gentleman stifle all charity, that he would disturb the dying bed of a poor Roman Ca tholic to tell him that his life's belief had been a i:e,and he could have no hope of salvatio n. The rabid and infuriate zeal which thus depicts so accu rately its own ferocious characteristics, which would and does sacrifice all tha amenities of life to give suprema c y, not to a doctrine full of doubt, but to a set of Pharisees who claim, from believing and teaching it, to be, superior to other men, now un happily prevails over the mild tolerance which once was thought to distinguish the Protestants of Eng land. Those who preach this excessive and into lerant zeal, and those who encourage it, should for one moment reflect on its consequences. Instead of allay:ing it excites passion. Instead of preach ng forbearance it recommends intemperate attacks. Its spirit seems already caught by the whole nation, and the virulent assaults on the two Queens, of which the journals complain, the violence of the Chartists, the excessive de pression which now leads to so many sui cides, the extreme excitement which has of late caused so many murders, the animosity which is nourished in local communities between political rivals, and the intense hatred which different classes bet in to evince towards each other, are all closely alliet: with the furious religious zeal which is prea c hed by the Rev. Mr. M‘GHEE and Co., if they be not its offspring. Should the priests of conflicting and sects purs ue this course th e y will biutify the people probably convert them into ferocious savages. Perhaps if the Tory Jour nalists, who encourage this statesmen and Tory have no regard to the this I .;:ligious excite ment, of the nation , the y will have some to its h onour, and some respect to the reputation of that Protestantism of which they boast so much. The number of atrocious crimes, including the outr a g es ac New p ort, which now dis figurel the face of our societ y , excite the remarks of of scorn foreignerg, who p oint the fin g er at the prude and boasted morality of England. E very day the Catholic papers rake together all the lam e ntable suicides, burglaries, and murders, they Can find in the English Journals, and they sneeringly ask are these the fruits of Protestantism. The tranquillity of Ireland is contrasted with that of England, an d Protestantism it ig asserted—and with some apparent reason, of such Protestantism as is preached by M. M`GHEE—is the parent the of turbulence and crim e. For the honour of country, and for the reputation of Protestantism itself, we trust the infuriate zeal of Irish Orange Parsons will no longer be allowed to overbear the calm good sense of tolerant Englishmen. The regulations prescribed by the Post office for carrying into effect the Treasury Minute will be found amongst our advertisements. They comprise several matters which could not be stated in the Minute. For example, all letters weighing above an ounce, except when sent through France, must be paid in advance. In charging by weight, too, all fractions above one postage will cause the letter to be charged with the next postage rising in the scale. There aie many minute regulations which will make it necessary for the public to read and *- • 4, 4 - ktt " „ . .7 0 4' r Zbt study the advertisement, to which accordingly \vt beg leave to direct their attention. We are extremely glad to see that the appeal we made to the Treasury on behalf of JENNERY, the man who was unwillingly committed to prison by Mr. BURRELL, the Queen-square Magistrate, has not been without its effect. On Thursday, Mr. R. STEUART, one of the Lords of the Treasury waited on the Magistrate, and having ascertained that the man was the victim of an unjust law, gave directions to remit the penalty. JENNEItY was accordingly released on Thursday by an order from the Solicitor of Stamps, indemnifying the Justice for any moiety of the penalty which may be claimed of him by the informer. Great praise is due to the Lords of the Treasury for their prompt inter ference in behalf of Mr. JENNERY, and their con duct in this instance should serve to prove that they will not be slow to redress other grievances when pointed out to them. We have the pleasure to add that several bene volent individuals have interested themselves in be half of JENNERY, who has been handsomely com pensated by their bounty for the injustice inflicted on him by the law. It deserves to be noticed that there was no malignity in any party. Mr. JENNERY was not the victim of persecution. The informer thought he was doing his duty, the Magistrate most reluctantly did his, and had not the humanity and kindness of individuals been supe rior to the justice of the Iaw,JENNERY might, with_ out any wickedness in any individual, have been keptin prison for a month, and his family compelled to take refuge in a workhouse, or be exposed to starvation. When we recollect how long and how strenuously our humane people were compelled to exert themselves before they could obtain any ame lioration in our sanguinary code, we are inclined to think that in all cases the humanity and virtue of the people, as in this particular case, outstrip the humanity and virtue of the law. If that be true, it becomes a curious subject of reflection, what good can be accomplished by giving the worst of two guides for conduct the ascendancy, and com pelling men to follow it. While this rebuke to a law of forty years' stand ing was administered at Queen-square, a law of last Session, which to us appears quite as mischie vous as the law which punished Mr. JENNERY for selling the produce of his own industry, was most rigorously carried into effect by the Commissioners of Excise, causing, we are sure, a much greater mass of evil than the law prevents or corrects. A barber, of the name of ROBERT ATKINS, was convicted before the Commissioners of Excise of selling gin, and fined in two penalties of 201. and 101. Under the New Police Act publicans cannot open their houses on a Sunday morning, and the consequence is, that barbers have turned gin sellers or gin givers -away. The temptation for them so to act is wholly created by the law ; and on the head of the Police Act maker should be all the guilt. Thirty pounds may be a larger sum than this barber can pay ; in which case he will have to expiate his conduct by imprisonment. What business is it of the law-maker whether men drink gin or not ? Why does he not interfere to prohibit the use of wine ? If, as some people say, tea and coffee cause nervous disorders, why not put a stop to drinking them ? For the Legislature to expect that it can supply the place of discretion in individuals is a lamentable error. The attempt to make human nature better by sumptuary and police enactments has been condemned by its results in all ages and countries. Why, the law-makers have not more discretion than can guide themselves ; how, then, can they guide other people ? The ambition of poor, fallen, unpopular Mr. HAWES was con temptible. The best-informed French Journals regard with sad presages of more revolutionary horrors the at tempts now making in Spain, under the cover of courtly moderation, to prepare the way for the abo• lition of the Constitution of 1837. That such is the actual design of the REGENT, and that her MAJESTY is supported therein by the countenance of LOUIS PHILIPPE, are facts too notorious to require the support of other evidence than what is supplied by the common sense of every man in France and Spain. Now as the Government of this country has done so much for Spain—so much for the REGENT and her " August Daughter the innocent ISABELLA ll."—we think that it is called upon promptly to in terfere to prevent the QUEEN from sharing the for tunes of CARLOS and his family. Her MAJESTY'S power and popularity, when opposed to the influ ence of the incensed and betrayed Cortes, will not maintain her upon a Throne, which an attempt to abrogate the Constitution would render her totally unworthy to occupy. We know that Louts PHILIPPE does not want to see a Constitutional Monarchy more liberal than the mock Monarchico- Republic of France established on the other side of the Pyrennees ; but he had better beware lest his intrigues should replace it by a Republic in real earnest. For ourselves we care not a rush about the Queen of SPAIN except as the representative of the principles of civil and religious liberty ; and if she abandon these principles by a per jured endeavour to rob her people of a Con stitution which they purchased with their blood, we trust they will have virtue, and patriotism, and courage enough left to send her, with her daughters, in spite of all the crowned despots in Europe, to share the destinies of the exiled Mem bers of the Royal Houses of BOURBON and BRAGANZA. But as prevention is always better than the most effectual cure, we trust that Lord PALMERSTON will take immediate measures for the dispersion of the storm now gathering over unhappy Spain. The REGENT should be ap prised, and that speedily, of the danger of hearken ing to the Councils of such traitors to the liberty of their country as ISTURIZ, TORENO, and the gang of political quacks and pecuniary plunderers who now infest the Spanish capital, and who blind her to the hazard she is incurring in admitting them to her presence. Her MAJESTY should like wise be given clearly to understand the part which Great Britain would take in any struggle between her and the Cortes. She is probably not aware that the Government of this country does not care a straw about the mere abstract question of the right of ISABELLA or CARLOS to the Spanish w is oul n d ot gi a ve p a ers b o u n tt i o n n E to no p la ro n ‘ d ie , there Crown—that W the h w ig il o l of FE rTory' who R DINAND, or the law of PHILIP V., valid or invalid ; and that the contest has here been in reality regarded as one involving the triumph of th e principle of liberty or of despotism. Now it is really of the utmost importance that her MAJESTY Should know this, and that the instant she aims at the overth row o f t h e Constitution s he forfeit s for herself and her daughter, the friendship of her most generous and disinterested ally, Great Britain. ,-- kmisE .- i r ii h iflE e eae C itE a oT r n is A r ble h iin e gha G sr a eo z pff e a tte publishes two letters of the Ist inst., from Constantinople, which state that has cost him, and that had been sent to Alexaneaiddrner d i t ao h ffi e t o tese u r g m i f v s ro e t n h u l e p t k t i l tl e ei e e l :i p T a n fro g u ra r t i i - e t r to tile satisfaction of the Viceroy , arrange the new French Ambassador, hoady of the Minister for Foreig n A • He assured REDSCHID PACHA.

HER IVIAJESTVS MARRIAGE. The Madrid Papers, of the 14th instant, repre sent the state of that capital as exceedingly gloomy. Protests against the payment of taxes, should the Cortes be dissolved, were arriving from the prinei pal cities of Spain by every post. " A cry of in dignation is everywhere raised," says the Eco del Commercto of that date, " against the inopportune arid unconstitutional closings of the Cortes. The Ordinance for the prorogation is everywhere re garded as a public calamity." Awed by such symp toms of impending danger, the Cabinet on the 14th had come to no resolution. What course the Ministry will adopt, we shall not, under such cir cumstances, pretend to determine ; but the follow ing extract from the Eco, will show the extent to which the national confidence has been shaken, by the late intrigues of the Camarilla : " When the decree of suspending the Cortes was issued, the Five per Cents. fell a little in the Bourse of Madrid ; and, if the fall was not greater, it was owing to the efforts of the agents of the Government inter ested in keeping up prices, and to the hopes of a suc cessful attack upon the factious on the 31st of last month. Through similar means and expectations the funds were kept at 31 to the 11th ins'ant ; but so soon as it was known that the Government intended to pur sue a system in opposition to the Congress—that the suspension was to be prolonged, and a Ministry op posed to the majority to be appointed—tha fall of the funds continued, and yesterday they were quoted at 29. Since yesterday reports of a further suspension of the Congress, and of the appointment of a Ministry in the sense indicated, began to gai❑ consistency, and the first quotation was 27k, a fall which evidently shows the want of confidence on the part of holders of stock. The friends of Government, alarmed by the rapidity of the fall of prices, accordingly made every effort to raise them again, by diffusing reports of favourable news from Catalonia ; but notwithstanding their efforts, the Five per Cents. Active closed at 28} for cash. Thus, since the suspension of the Sessions of Cortes, the fall has been full 4 per cent." THE PRIVY COUNCIL. Her Majesty held a Privy Council this day at Buckingham Palace, at half-past One o'Clock, which was attended by an usually large number of Members—there being upwards of 100 Privy Councillors present. The proceedings excited unusual interest from its being generally understood that an announcement of her Majesty's intended Marriage with Prince Albert of Saxe Cobourg would be made to the Council, and as early as twelve o'clock a large concourse of persons had assembled in front of the Palace, and at two o'clock the number had in creased to several thousands—there was a very large sprinkling of foreigners among the crowd. The following is the communication made by her Majesty to the Privy Council assembled at Buckingham. Palace this day : " I have caused you to be summoned at the pre - sent time, in older that I may acquaint you with my resolution in a matter which deeply concerns the welfare of my people, and the happiness of my future life. " It is my intention to ally myself in marriage with Prince Albert of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha. " Deeply impressed with the solemnity of the engagement which I am about to contract, I have not come to this decision without mature consideration, nor without feeling a strong assurance that, with the blessing of Almighty God, it will at once secure my domestic felicity, and serve the interests of my country. General ESPARTERO'S head-quarters were on the 12th at Las Parras in Arragon. It was ex pected that he would choose Forcall in Valencia for his head-quarters during the winter. The blockade of Morella and Cantaviaja is to be strictly enforced. No further intelligence has reached us respecting an engagement with CABRERA. "I have thought fit to make this resolution known to you at the earliest period, in order that you may be fully apprised of a matter so highly important to me and my kingdom, and which I persuade myself will be most acceptable to all my loving subjects." Her Majesty looked in excellent health, and delivered the Address with great composure. The Council broke up shortly before three o'clock ; and on leaving the Palace her Majesty's Ministers and other leading political characters were received with the usual popular marks of applause or disapprobation. Lord Melbourne, who was nearly the last that quitted the Palace, was loudly cheered by the majority of those present, but there was some vehement hooting from a mob of per sons who followed his carriage round the entire front of the Palace. His Lordship smiled and bowed good-humouredly to his assailants. The Marquis of Normanby and Lord J. Russell were in the same carriage, and came in for a pretty equal share of applause and disapprobation. The Duke of Wellington, who was locking extremely thin and pale, but in good spirits, was most enthusiastically cheered. Lord Montcagle (Mr. Spring Rice) was greeted with a hearty groan. There was a sorry at tempt at a cheer for Sir Robert Peel, from the same knot to whom we have before alluded. Mr. Goal burn, Mr. Wilson Croker, and others of that party, were allowed to pass almost unnoticed. The reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was of the same lukewarm character. Lord Palmerston's reception was by no means flattering, but it would be impossible to parti cularize all the various shades of shouting, cheer ing, hooting, and hissing, which alternately prevailed. We observed among the crowd a certain Noble Marquis who has lately ratted from the Whigs, and a Baronet of some celebrity in East India affairs who were signalling the populace as to what par ties they should cheer or groan. These two gen tlemen appeared to enjoy the fun amazingly, and remained on the ground till the last carriage had left the Palace. There is very little news of any moment in the French Journals of Thursday. M. BEItENGER, the lawyer and deputy, has declined the honour of the Peerage. He does not think himself sufficiently useless fora seat in that assembly. Another of the new Peers, M. VIENNET, a poetaster by profes sion, has publicly announced that he only learned he was created a Peer by the newspapers, and that he accepts the honour in the same spirit of Christian resignation that he would any other calamity with which it might please Providence in its inscrutable wisdom to visit him. At this rate, promotion to the Peerage will soon be as terrible to public men in France, as promotion to the pillory was formerly to rogues and vagabonds in England. The Minister of Justice should avail himself of this new and most effectual mode of repressing the turbulence of democratic deputies. Let him only commence the new Session with threatening all who oppose Om Ministerial will with seats in the Upper Chamber, and he will at once silence the noisy Members of the Left and Left Centre. The Moniteur of Thursday contains the returns of the foreign imports into France during the first ten months of 1839, from which it appears that the quan tity of colonial and foreign sugars imported during that interval amounted to 84,474,380 kilogrammes (84,474 tons), 54,792,618 (54,792 tons) of which were sold for consumption, the duties on which amounted to 23,661,969 f. (nearly 93,0001.) The next articles in point of importance were coffee and olive oil, which respectively brought to the Treasury upwards of 9,000,000 f., (360,0001.), and cotton 7,200,000 f.: wool, 6,100,000 f., and coal, 2,262,000 f. The quantity of the latter imported in that period was above 1,000,000,000 of kilogrammes (1,000,000 tons), 949,000,000 of which were disposed of for consumption. M. de Konneritz, the Saxon Ambassador in Paris, had lately an interview with King Leopold at Wisba den, thereby virtually reopening diplomatic relations between Belgium and Saxony. The Diario di Roma of the 9th inst. announces the death of Cardinal Gregorio on the 7th, in the 81st year of his age. The Constitutionnel states, on the authority of its correspondence from Rome, that the health of the Pope was undermined by a slow fever, which would shortly bring him to the tomb. Hitherto, England has not admitted French Consuls in its Colonies, and France on the other hand has not received English Consuls in its colonies. It is an nounced that negotiations recently opened with the Ca binet of London has led, or will shortly have the effect of putting an end to this anomalous state of things, and several French consular agents who are to reside in some of the English colonies arc on the point of receiv ing their cxequatur. The concession is reciprocal as the exclusion has been.—Le Commerce. We learn that Don Manuel Belilia has received the command of a force which is to protect the road from Calanda to Aleaniz, in order to prevent the incursions of the bands of the insurgents at this point. One of these bands is composed of the insurgents who came from Cas tello on the invitation of Cabanero. The Carlist offi cer Mario, who was surprised at Oliette, with a detach ment of the same insurgents, by the garrison of Segrera, passed, three days ago, through Montalban, with thirty of his companions, on his way to the head quarters of the rebels. The head-quarters of the Duke of Victory were still at Los Parras and the divisions of the army occupied the same positions that we mentioned in our last num ber. The last letters from Catalonia are of the 12th. They do not speak of the Count d'Espagne ; it is not known what has b ecome o f hi m. A Christino column of 5,000 men has entered Catalonia by way of Senda, and will shortly join the army of Valdez, who will then be able to act with vigour. In Navarre all is tranquil, and the disarming proceeds without meeting with any obstacles. Her Majesty and her attendants, escorted by a party of the Lancers, left Buckingham Palace shortly afterwards for Windsor, and was greeted on her route towards Hyde-park with loud and general cheering by the assembled multitude. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. !ROM THE EVE NING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Courier.) The singular fortunes of the family of Saxe Coburg, are the extraordinary and wonderful incidents of this age. The domain of Cobourg, the patrimonial estate of the preseut:Duke, thy , eldest of the family, and brother of Leopold, was a very small principality ; the net revenue did not exceed 7001. per annum. Of course, upon such an income, the family pride was difficult to support, and the means of educatii )n for the younger branches extreme ly restricted. On ace ount of the smallness of means, none of the family could venture an appearance at Court, at Vienna, save the Du ke, and he rarely. The portion of the inheritance of Gotha-Aitenbourg, which came to him, greatly improved his standing and extended his possessions, an inheritance, which perhaps would not so readily ha ve been conceded to him hut from the powerful alliance and countenance of this country through Li :opold. The territory of Cobourg and Gotha may 1.. e estimated to contain together 160,000 souls. T he revenue is stated at 100,0001. per . annum, from wt Lich has to be deducted the interest of the debt or mort gage upon the property amounting to 464,000/., which , taking the rate at 6 per cent., not a high rate for Ger many, will be an annual charge of 27,840/. The Dui ;by is rated to furnish a contingent of 800 men to the Germanic Confederation. At the A letter from Odessa of the Ist November says— " The abundant harvest in the Ukraine, and Moldavia and Wallachia has caused a fall of one-eighth in the prices. The merchants of Leghorn have made large purchases of wheat and oats in our magazines, chiefly for Gibraltar, Valencia, and Marseilles."—Le Consti tutionnel. time of his select ion by the Princess Charlotte, Leopold was a simple Major in the Austrian ser vice, and his whole means and prospective expectations centered in his prof ession. His rise led to and was the prelude of that of the whole family. His sister be came Duchess of E Sent, adopted, like himself, into the Royal Family of E ngland, and in course, if not Queen Mother, Mother of the Queen. Leopold himself is King of Belgium ; one nephew, Ferdinand, King Con sort of Portugal ; ; ind a third about to become Prince Consort of the S; ivereign Queen of Great Britain. Never before, perhaps, in so short a space of time, did a family attain fort/ ones so magnificent, without deeds of arms or special sery ices of any public nature. ( From the Globe.) MARRIA GE OF THE QUEEN. The Privy Cow tell, convened by special command I of her Majesty, met . at Buckingham Palace this day, to receive a communi cation from her Majesty, second in importance to none which could possibly come within its range of privilege t ,o receive, or of duty to advise on. We need hardly add that the commuunication to which we have adverted relates to the highly interesting and impo 'tant eve 3t of her Majesty having selected from among the Pro testant Princes of Europe the indi- 1 vidual who, as her i ifture Consort, is now placed in a position which rend( ! T S him an o b ject of deep interest to the nation, and of e :nvy to the world. Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg Gotha„ thus signally honoured above his i fel lows, is, we are asst. tred b y those w ho have had opportu nities of being i•i s company, and of ob serv i ng hi s bear ing both towarn. ~i s equals and inferiors, worthy of the proud distinction s lich awaits him. Report assigns him accomplishmen is such as qualify him to adorn a Court, and justify the hope that his intimate relation to our beloved Sov( ;reign, will, under the blessing of a gracious Providence , confer on her the pure and refined enjoyments of don testis life, without which even the splendors of a C ourt, the power of a throne, and even the affection ate loyalty of an empire, leave an aching void i n the heart. That void will, we trust, be oci cupied fully and enduringly by the contemplated , anion of which the Privy Coun cillors of the Sove rei g n will have this day official in formation. Prince A lbert is the se cond son of Ernest, reigning Duke of S l axe Cobour g G otha, and derives his birth from a long unbroken line of Prote s t ant ancestors ; to one of whom Lt fther was indebted for protection, and probably preservati on from death, when after the Diet of Worms the Pope e mp lo y ed his p ow erful influence with the Pri nce s of Continenta l Eur ope to effect his destruc tion.

The Court will sit for three or four days for the purpose of receiving the bills of indictment, and will then be adjourned till the 31st of December. The adjournment will be necessary, because according to the 7th Anne, c. 21, s . 16, a ll p r i soners w h o are put on their trial for high treason, or misprision of treason, must be furnished with a copy of the in dictment, a list of the jurors, and of the witnesses who are to be called against him, at least ten dayi previously to the trial. DETENTION OF THE MAILS.--This morning the mail trains by the Southampton Railroad, did not arrive at the terminus at Nine Elms until near eight o'clock (consisting of the Devonport, Exeter, Ports mouth, and Southampton mails), being nearly two hours and a half behind the usual hour. The delay was caused by the extensive inundations in the western counties. PARLIAMENTARY PUNS.—Our facetious con temporary, the Charivari, has for some time been in the daily of habit of publishing telegraphic despatches which it pretends pass between MM. Sauzet and Dupin. On Wednesday last M. Sauzet, the grave President of the Chamber of Deputies, is made to ask M. Dupi4 (the Lord Brougham of France), " Pourquoi l'Anglais est it l'homme le plus cruel ?" To whi c h M, Dupin re plied, " Parcequ' d se glorifie d'etrangler" (d'etre An , glais). On Tuesday M. Dupin asked M. Sauzet, " Laquelle est la lettre ha plus , . joyeuse de l'alphabet ?" M. Sauzet replied, C'est 1 Ortent" (I'o riant). Some time since M. Dupin asked his friend, " Comment peut ou faire des bottes avec des pnmmes ?" The President replied, " En les fesant cuire" (Cuir). CODRINGTON V. JOHNSON. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. The suit was instituted by the plaintiff for the purpose of foreclosing certain mortgages made by the defendant on large estates in the West Indies, on the ground that they had not been completed. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor ordered the mortgage to be foreclosed, and from that decision the present ap peal was brought. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the plaintiff had failed to complete the mortgages, and ordered the appeal to be dismissed with costs. WELLESLEY V. WELLESLEY. This case stood for judgment on the question of costs to-day, his L or d s hi p having pronounced his decision on the other pa r t s o f t h e case yesterday. His Lordship was clearly of opinion the appeal must be dismissed with costs. His LORDSHIP, on rising shortly after one o'clock, stated that it was his intention to sit during the whole of next week at Lincol n ' s Inn. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DA r.) The Master of the Rolls was occupied the whole of the morning with petitions of no public interest. His Lordship rose at one o'clock, for the purpose of attend ing the Privy Council. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Pleas and demurrers of no public interest occupied the Court up to one o'clock, at which hour his Honour rose, in order to attend the Privy Council, which is s.immoned for to-day at Buckingham Palace, to con sider of the marriage of her Majesty. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) GROCOCK V. WELLER. Mr. BALL moved in this case for a rule directed to the officer of the Court, and commanding him to issue a writ of capias, without a Judges order or a writ of summons being previously issued. The defendant, Weller, had been before the Insolvent Court the day before yesterday, when he was opposed by his creditors, and remanded for seven months, for having fraudulently made away with property. He was in custody at the suit of a friendly creditor, and it was supposed that the object of the other creditors would be frustrated if the present step was not taken, because at the end of seven months the Insolvent would be entitled to his discharge. By the Ist and 2d Victoria, chap. 18, it was provided that an Insolvent Debtor might be detained by writ of capias without a Judges order or writ of summons. Lord DEN MAN—What does the officer say? Mr. BALL—He wishes to have the opinion of the Court. Lord DENMAN—Did you mention the case to Mr. Justice Littledale ? Mr. BALL—Yes, my Lord, and he desired me to mention it to the full Court. Lord DENMAN—Take a rule. THE QUEEN V. REYNOLDS, CLERK. This was a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue di rected to him and commanding him to restore the seve ral registry books belonging to the parish of St. James's , Bury St. Edmunds, in Suffolk, to the custody of the Rev. Henry Cooper Hinde, and to permit the said Mr. Hinde to officiate as Cnrate or Reader of the said parish. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now appeared to show cause against the rule which had been obtained by Sir F. Pollock during the present term. The application was one of a very singular nature, and the circumstances would disclose facts of a very extraordinary description. It was literally a mandamus to Mr. Reynolds to permit Mr. Hinde to discharge the duties of his office. The Reader or Curate of the parish of St. James had been usually appointed by the Corporation of Bury St. Ed munds, there being a regular contract with him, by which he should either hold the office for one year, or from time to time, as the Corporation might think fit. The parish, he should observe, was unendowed, and the question was whether there was any. thing in the Municipal Corporation Act which took the appointment out • of the hands of the Cor poration and vested it in the Bishop of the Diocese. It appeared that originally the Readers were appointed from time to time, but latterly they were appointed to hold the office for life. They officiated at the Sacra ments of the Lord's Supper, &c., but had no salary from the Corporation, receiving merely the usu; l sur ;lice fees of the Reader or Curate. On the 9.5 th 1V ay 6: Town- Council of Bury appointed Mr. Reynolds header or Curate, in the room of Mr. Atkiason, deceased, and from that period he had officiated as such, performing divine service and administering the Sacrament. On the Ist of July the registers of baptisms and burials were given into his custody, and lie had since then retained them. On the 2d July the Bishop of the diocese granted a license to Mr. Hinde to act as Curate, and be, forti fied with that license, but having no other title to the office, applied for the present mandamus. Now, the parish was not endowed—there were no lands attached to it—and the Bishop had not the power to appoint a Curate. There was no authority which could entitle Mr. Hinde to the rule prayed for. It was not a tem poral right which that Court could grant, inasmuch as it was merely a claim to be allowed to preach and officiate. By the 139th section of the Municipal Corporation Act it was provided that if the Corporation did not dispose of any estates whereunto any right of advowson, or any benefice or ecclesiastical preferment attached, then the right of appointment to such ecclesiastical preferment should rest in the Bishop of the diocese. Now he (the Attorney-General) contended that the appointment in question did not come under the denomination of an ecclesiastical preferment—it was not a saleable office under the terms of the Act—the Corporation were the rectors, and had a right to make the appointment upon what terms they pleased, and therefore the Bishop had not the right to interfere. For these reasons he sub mitted that the present rule must be discharged. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Wightman followed on the same side. Sir F. Por.Locs, in support of the rule, contended that the present case came distinctly within the provi sions of the 139th section of the Municipal Act, and which proviso had been most wisely and judiciously in troduced, to prevent the inconvenience and scandal which would arise from the occurrence of cases like that now under their Lordships' consideration. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to point out what the provisions of the Act were, when he was inter rupted by Lord DENMAN—Who said that the Court was in fluenced so far by the Act of Parliament as to think that the mandamus should go, but the question then was, was it a case in which they could grant a mandamus ? Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK submitted that it was. For instance, there could be no legal objection to the man damus going to compel Mr. Reynolds to give up the Registry Book. There was an important duty cast upon Mr. Hinde, who, he concluded was the legally ap pointed Curate, which he could not discharge while these books were withheld. The Learned Counsel was proceeding with 11;s argument, when The COURT said that they were of opinion the man damus must go as regards the first part, namely, the re storation of the Registry Books. THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIETOR OF THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLE. A rule for a criminal information had been obtained in the course of the present Term against the defend ants, Messrs. Lester and Hewett, the proprietors, and Mr. Dyer, the editor, of the Manchester Chronicle, for an allured libel on Sir C. Sh aw , C omm i ss i oner o f Police for the borough of Manchester. Sir W. FOLLETT now appeared to show cause against the rule, and observed that with regard to one of the defendants, Mr. Hewett, he had an affidavit, which set forth that he was one of the proprietors of the paper, but had no control over its management, and that he extremely regretted that any observations should have been made in it reflecting on the character of Sir C. Shaw. The libel in question was a commentary upon an eulogium on the character of Sir C. Shaw, which ap peared in one of the liberal newspapers of the town, and which, he contended, did not, under the circumstances, exceed the legitimate bounds of newspaper criticism. The Learned Counsel then read the alleged libel, which we gave at s ome l eng th when the ruie was moved for. The Court would not, he was satisfied, interfere unless there were charges against the private character of Sir C. Shaw which were subsequently wiped off by Sir C. Shaw's affidavits. Now the alleged libel charged him with having been horsewhipped by Mr. Hawkins, which was not denied. It stated further, that he had a q b u o it u t t ed fou t l he pla w y in a a t t c rli r d d e s. dispute in T c h o a n t s w eq •a u s en n c o e t d o e f ni a ed d b is y p C. Shaw, but it was insinuated that the foul play was intended to be attributed to him, but the affidavits of the defendants denied that most fully. Lord DENMAN said, if there was no reiteration of these charges, and that the defendants said they did not mean "to make any imputations upon the character of Sir C. Shaw, then the matter was at an end. Sir WM. FOLLETT said the defendants had never meant to impute foul play at cards or cowardice to Sir C. Shaw. Mr. THESIGER said there were other charges also, and if the defendants now expressed their regret for the statements they had made ; and further, that they meant no imputations on the character of Sir C. Shaw, he would be satisfied, but less than that he could not be content with. After a good deal of coquetry on both sides, Mr. TIIESIGER expressed himself satisfied, and The COURT said they were very glad the question had terminated in that way. The only object Sir C. Shaw could have i n com i ng to t h at C ourt was t h e vin dication of his character, and after what had been • EVENING EDITION stated by the defendant's counsel every person must see that his object had been answered. The rule was consequently discharged. THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE COURT OF REQUESTS OF BIRMINGHAM. This was a rule for a mandamus to the Commis sioners of the Court of Requests of Birmingham, on the ground of an illeeal election of a Clerk to the Court. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL and Mr. MANNING were heard in support of the rule, and Sir WILLIAM Fol.- LETT against it. The COURT were of opinion that the rule for the mandamus must be discharged. BAIL COURT.-(ThiS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF WORCESTER. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue against the Magistrates of the county of Worcester, commanding them to allow a highway rate under the sth and 6th Will. IV. c. 50. The rate had been made by the sur veyor in the usual manner, but the Magistrates had refused to allow it, because the surveyor refused to pay a fee to their clerk. This fee, he apprehended, was illegal, iria.qnuch as it was not mentioned in the Act, which expressly directed that no other fees than those enumerated should be demanded. His LORDSHIP granted a rule nisi. RICKETS V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE said he had been instructed to move for a mandamus, on the part of the defendants, to examine witnesses, and as the business of the Court at this period of the Term was so pressing, perhaps his Lordship would allow it to be heard at Chambers. This was an action brought against the East India Company for a considerable sum of money, and the affidavit on which he moved stated that the cause of action arose in India, and that it was necessary wit nesses should be examines to substantiate the defence of the Company. There was an affidavit, on the other side, of Mr. Freshfield, showing that from the nature of the proceedings, the treasurer of a certain society, and some other public officers at Calcutta, were neces sary witnesses on their behalf, and the plaintiffs had thereupon obtained a mandamus to examine witnesses ; and it was necessary that the defendants should be armed with the same power. 4Mr. BAILEY, on the other side, had no objection to the application being granted, if his Lordship thought the Learned Sergeant had mad e ou t sufficient grounds f r a rule to snow cause. His LORDSHIP intimated that to be the case, and said the parties might attend at Chambers any day when it would suit their convenience. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) THE QUEEN V. FROST, VINCENT, AND EDWARDS. WHATELET moved for a writ of certiorari in the case of John Frost, Henry Vincent, and William Ed wards, against whom indictments had been found at the Monmouth Assizes for sedition, and which had been traversed until the next Assizes The affidavit on which he moved stated that great alarm existed in the county of Monmouth, which was lik e ly to continue for some time to come, and that a fair and impartial trial could not he had without the aid of a Special Jurv. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—It is not removed out of the county, then ? Mr. WHATELEY—No, merely to have a Special Jury. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Is it not rather early ? It is a long time before the assizes. Mr. WHATELEY understood that a considerable time was requisite to make the necessary preparations, and this certainly was a case of sufficient importance, to be tried by a Special Jury. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—On whose behalf do you apply ? Mr. VITHATELEY—On the part of the Crown, my Laid. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—I really think you might wait until next term. Mr. WIIATELEY—My instructions are, that time presses as to giving the necessary notices, to enable the prosecution to go to trial at the next assizes. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Very well, sou may take your rule. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. HUNGERFORD MARKET. There were fair supplies of most kinds, and a steady business, and prices were little varied.

LIVERPOOL, COTTON-MARKET, FRIDAY.—WC have had a large extent of business doing this week. The greater degree of spirit in the demand existed during the first four days, when prices of ordinary to fair quai ties of American were forced up by the operations ; for re-sale here, id. to id. per lb. There was, however, a manifest change yesterday in favour of buyers, who were met more freely by some determined sellers ; con sequently prices again gave way, and at the most id. per lb. advance on last Friday's pricesisall that can now be realized. Full prices are being obtained for Surat. No change in the position of Brazil, Egyptian, or Sea Island ; they are heavy of sale, at our last quotations. Speculators have taken 950 bales of American and 1,000 Surat, and exporters 250 American. The market to-day is fiat, and the sales of all kinds about 4,000 bales. Saturday is in general a dull day, both for arrivals and intelligence, which is the same this morning, espe cially as the wind is at North-east. Should it continue in the above quarter eve shall be disappointed in the arrival of the New York packet ship, of the 7th, anxiously expected, which, no doubt, will convey some important intelligence from the United States respecting commercial affairs. This being the appointed day for the meeting of the Privy Council, as it is generally expected to take into consideration the marriage of her Majesty, the publie, as well as the speculators in the Funds, are anxiously waiting to hear the result of the Cabinet's deliberation on the above important subject, particularly as the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel will be present. THE FUNDS. In respect to the Foreign Exchanges yesterday, that of Hamburg was rather lower, and Paris rather im proved ; Dutch much the same.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—His Grace arrived at Apslcy House at twenty minutes past six o'clock last evening from Walmer Castle, accompanied by Dr. Hume and Sir Astley Cooper. The Noble and Gallant Duke, although not completely recovered from his recent illness, will attend the Privy Council to-by. The Duke of Devonshire arrived at Devonshire House, at an advanced hour last evening, from Chats worth, Derbyshire, to attend the Privy Council. Earl Cadogan arrived at his residence in Picca dilly, from Scotland. 'We are happy to say the Noble Earl is in much better health than when he left town. The Earl and Countess of Tankerville arrived at Mivart's Hotel yesterday from Wooler Castle, their seat in Northumberland. The Earl and Countess have paid several visits en route to town. Lord Powerscourt has consented to preside at the annual dinner of the Bath Church of England Lay Association on the 9th of December. SACRED HARMONIC SOClETY.—Handeys splendid oratorio, Solomon, was performed last evening by this Society at Exeter Hall, which was crowded, as usual, with enthusiastic listeners to the beautiful sacred music of the glorious composer. Miss Birch, Miss Mas son, and Mrs. T. H. Severn (whom we used lately to notice as Miss E. Cawthorn), were the lady vccaiists, and Phillips, Novello, and Hobbs the gentlemen.. Th e superb and mighty swell o f harmony from more than five hundred voices filled the measure of grandeur of the magnificent choruses. Of these nothing co u ld surpass the imposing beauty and solemnity. The d ou bl e c h orus, " From the Censer,- was admirable, and th e " M ay no rash intruder," terminating the first part, was encored. The other encore of the evening was the recitative and air," With thee th' unsheltered moor," sung exquisitely by Miss Birch, who throughout acquitted herself finely, as she ever does at these sacred oratorios. Mrs. T. H. Severn's exertions are also deserving of high commen dation. In " Thy sentence, gre a t Ki ng ," s h e w as very warm ly applauded. Miss Masson was less effective than we have sometimes heard her, and retains the fault of anticipating her notes —an error of taste and judgment analogous to the false pause of Macready in ei"u ti "' The gem of the evening's performance was the bea utiful trio," Words are weak," by Miss Birch, Miss Masson, and Mrs. Severn. N ot hi ng could be b e tter. Phillips always sings sacred music grandly, and Hobbs and Novelle, touched their average calibre of excellence. The oratorio afforded altogether a fine treat to its crowded audience. (THIS DAY.) (Before Lord ABINGER.) IN RE NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. PETITION OF SMITH. This was the petition of Sir Charles Cunliffe Smith, an infant, praying that the sum of 1,1001., paid by the Company into Court might be invested the Three per Cent Consols, and the dividends paid in the usual man ner, nnd that the costs might be paid by the Company. Lord ABalloest—ls the infant entitled to the estate in fee The Learned Gentleman who made the application, replied that he was entitled to it in fee simple. Lord ALINGER wished it to be understood that in all cases where the money was invested in the Funds, and where the Master should allow a power of attorney, the ccst of which was about a guinea, he would not revise the taxation, at the expense of twice the sum to each par!y, in order to correct it. In this case th• dividends must accumulate, until the further directions of the Court should be given, when another application was bUILDHALL.—(TH!S DAY.) CASE OF FINNERTY, AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE WEST LONDON UNION.—This morning Mr. Pontifex, the Clerk to the Board of Guardians of the West London Union, attended by Mr. Miller the relieving officer, waited upon Mr. Alderman Gibbs, for the pur pose of explaining the conduct of the Guardians in rela tion to an order which had been granted by the sitting Alderman tome time since, calling upon the Board of Guardians to allow out-of-door relief to Peter Finnerty an old man seventy years of age, in consequence of which they had allowed him bread and sugar to the value of Is. Gd. per week. This not being considered sufficient the sitting Alderman had last week animad verted in strong terms on the conduct of the Guardians. Mr. Pontifex said that had the Court been aware of all the circumstances of the case, he did not think the conduct of the Guardians would have been consi dered harsh. The fact was, Finnerty had conducted himself in the most improper manner, and had, by 11;.5 violence, obliged his wife and son to leave, and the parish had to maintain them apart from Had this not been the case, he would have been more comfortably off, as they could have been maintained together for much less than they could apart, and therefore the B oar d cons i dered they were justified in giving him a less allowance than they otherwise would have done. He assured the Alder man that they had no intention of treating the recom mendation of the Court with contempt, and that they had determined, in consequence, to allow Finnerty or . e shilling p,,r week additional, which he might h;.v u in kind, in the shape of bread, or meat, or any p':ovisions he liked. This would make it equal to the allowance to paupers in the house, which was at the rate of 3s. Gd. per week, exclusive of the expenses of the establish ment ; indeed, they charged but 3s. Gd. per week for the maintenance of paupers of other parishes. Finnerty said that if the price of bread rose, his al lowance would be curtailed in proportion. Mr. Alderman Glues—Would that be the case ? Mr. Miller—Certainly the order is to give relief to the value of 31. Gd. Mr. Alderman Glans—ls this the case with persons in the house ? Mr. Miller—No, Sir ; the order given them is for a certain quantity of provisions, without reference to price. Mr. Alderman Gras--'Tien the same rule ought to be observed wich regard to out-of door relief. I think the Board of Guardians did not pay proper respect to the order of the Magistrates ; but now it appears they are willing to make the allowance equal to that of the other paupers. _ _ _ Finnerty complained that he did not think the present allowance even sufficient, and was about to enter into explanations relating to his wile, when Mr. Alderman GIBBS said—You had better not enter into that question, I happen to know something about it. Call on the next case.—Finnerty then withdrew. A PEERAGE REFUSED.--At the late creation of Peers in France, the name of M. Double was de cided on as that of one fit to be raised to the dignity in question. The offer was then made to him, on con dition that he should renounce the exercise of his pro fession ! To this proposal M. Double refused to con sent, not choosing to purchase the honour at so dear a price ; and we cannot but remark, that the spirit evinced by the French Government on this occa'aion is very different from that which actuated Napoleon, when he constituted Cabanis, Berthollet, and Fourcroy, Peers of the empire. —Medical Gazette.
